Chapter 126: Demon Wolf's Sudden Attack
"Alright, it's getting late too, let's hurry back to Ning City."
Hu Ga waved his hand and the four of them were all injured, it was not suitable to stay outside, especially at night when the danger level in the Longjia mountain range increased.
Han Cong had no choice but to rush up, pick up Hu Cai Feng on his back, and dash forward in a burst of speed, leaving Hu Gao and Yun Feng behind, holding their bellies in laughter. This was absolutely a classic scene where they got away with it and showed off at the same time!
They traveled east, and after leaving the Longjia mountain range, they found an inn where Hu Cai Piao changed into a clean men's outfit. To prevent any unexpected events, this time the four of them revealed their cultivation level, and no one dared to provoke them.
After leaving the post station, walking north for a short while, there is a gorge. After passing through this gorge, it is the Windy Great Road leading to Ning City. This is an official road, and the road conditions are much better than the small path Hu Gao took when he came. Once you get there, you can basically consider yourself safe.
The canyon and the sky merged into one line, the scenery behind gradually blurred, on the lush green grass, a large piece of bright red blood suddenly appeared, attracting the attention of several people.
"Halt!" Hu raised his hand and cautiously swept his gaze around him, his eyes somewhat fierce.
"How can there be blood here? The demonic beasts in this area are mostly low-level and don't have much attacking power, so how can there be so many bloodstains?" Hu Cai Piao said, familiar with the terrain.
"Anyway, be careful," Han Chong said.
A cold wind swept through the waist-high green grass, a pair of icy eyes without any human emotions stared quietly at the four people, they were like patient hunters waiting for their prey to take the bait.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, with even a falling needle audible, except for the sudden gusts of cold wind.
And, killer!
Roar!
A dark shadow flashed out and pounced on Hu Gao, who calmly drew his sword with a swift and fierce motion, as fast as lightning.
The sword without a shadow swung, the yuan force chopped down, swinging towards the black shadow, a dazzling light slashed over, making one's heart tremble involuntarily.
"Ahh!"
A strange cry echoed, the sharp yuan force directly penetrated that black shadow, Hu Gao was shocked again, and instantly, the black shadow was cut into two pieces on the spot, a miserable sight to behold.
A large amount of blood gushed out, dyeing the green grass red, and a new patch of bloodstains was added to the vast land.
Hu Gao reacted extremely quickly and clearly saw what was going to kill him - a black-colored demonic wolf, an early third-stage demon beast.
If it were an ordinary cultivator of the same level, they would have probably died already. It's just that Hu Gao's strength is too abnormal, and only then did he find the weakness, striking a fatal blow.
"How can there be a third-order demon beast here, and it's a magic wolf!" Hu Cai Piao Hua Rong lost color, pointing at the magic wolf in surprise.
"What's wrong with the wolf?" Hu Gao asked in puzzlement.
"Don't you know? Among the demonic beasts, wolves are generally pack animals and will never act alone. The appearance of a demon wolf here means that it's highly likely that a large number of demon wolves will emerge." Hu Cai Piao said in a low voice.
Everyone who heard this felt the thorniness of the matter, and the bloodstains here were indeed not like those caused by any living creature. Looking around at the shocking bloodstains everywhere, it was quite consistent with what Hu Caihong had said.
"We're leaving." Hu Gao said resolutely. This canyon couldn't be stayed in any longer, and this grassland was fraught with danger on all sides, not a benevolent place at all.
In the next second, wolf howls burst out from all directions in the grass sea, killing intent surged forth, exploding on all sides.
"Meet the enemy."
Hu Gao took the lead, bursting out with a fierce and powerful killing intent, like a war god, quickly sweeping across the four directions and rapidly spreading forward.
Wave after wave of dark shadows rushed in from all sides, with an aura that was both majestic and terrifying. There were so many demonic beasts, including a considerable number of three-stage magic wolves, which even a warrior at the level of Tong Ti would find difficult to resist.
Fortunately, the three of them had encountered several crises in the Dragon Armor Mountains before, so they were not caught off guard. The first three magic wolves that rushed over were chopped down by Hu Gao's swift and fierce Wushuang Sword. His majestic yuan power tilted downwards, transforming into a series of yuan power sword lights that pierced through everything.
Three mournful cries echoed through the air, and a demonic wolf was instantly beheaded by a burst of light. Another wolf was cut in half at the waist, while the last one was pierced through the heart by Hu's sword.
Hu Gao stood at the forefront, his clothes unstained by blood, holding a sword and standing tall, with Han Chong and Yun Feng protected behind him, facing the wolf pack alone, calm and fearless.
"You two be careful and protect her well, we'll fight our way out together." Hu Gao said solemnly.
"Don't worry!" Han Chong said resolutely.
Yun Feng's sword has also been unsheathed, and in the previous battle he basically didn't suffer any injuries, now his state is still okay.
In the grassy sea, the sound of demonic wolves would occasionally erupt. Before long, faint rustling sounds began to emerge, and one by one, drooling demonic wolves emerged from the grassy sea, staring intently at the four with piercing eyes.
Hú Gāo's heart tightened as he gazed out at the dense, swarming mass. There were at least a thousand of them! Fortunately, these demonic wolves varied greatly in strength, with most being quite weak. The ones that had snuck up on Hú Gāo earlier were undoubtedly among the strongest of the pack.
Although it's impossible for them to be just first-class demonic beasts, this number is enough to make one's scalp feel numb.
"How can there be so many?" Hu Cai Piao's realm was the highest, and his knowledge was also the broadest. However, at this moment, seeing so many demonic beasts, he was also frightened to the point of losing his composure.
"Damn it." Yun Feng waved the long sword in his hand, cutting all the magic wolves that tried to kill him from the side into pieces of meat. However, a hint of horror also appeared on his face.
The number of wolves exceeded their imagination and formed an eight-sided siege, with no gaps to drill at all.
"What should we do?" Hu Cai Piao exclaimed in alarm.
"What can be done? Fight your way out! Face the enemy! Haven't your family taught you anything? There's only one word, kill!"
Hu Gao spoke decisively and fiercely, his words were like a forest, making people involuntarily tremble. At this moment, Hu Gao, who was originally a bit frivolous, seemed to be a fierce beast, with the stubbornness in his eyes killing each other.
Fierce and ferocious wolf packs, forming a siege-like formation, gazing down from the sky, like a vast black tide, each wolf's body exuding an aura of cruelty and bloodthirstiness, their green eyes flashing with a life-devouring vitality.
"This doesn't feel right, how can there be so many demonic wolves here? I think someone must want to take your life." Yun Feng said suddenly.
"My life? Not many people care about it." Hu Gao said thoughtfully.
Fortunately, there were no third-tier peak demon beasts in this pack of demonic wolves; otherwise, they would have been done for.
"Damn it, let me find out who's secretly plotting against me and I'll skin him alive!" Hu Gao cursed inwardly.
The distant demonic wolves gradually approached, they suddenly stopped attacking and instead circled around Hu Gao slowly, their snow-white black fur gleaming with a chilling light that made one's heart tremble.
These demon wolves were at least two meters long, much larger than the wolves in that world of Hu Gao.
Roar!
The demonic wolves let out a series of fierce howls, their sharp claws clicking away as they gradually emitted strands of yuan energy from their bodies.
Ahh-ooo!
Not far away, a loud and clear voice echoed through the sky, spreading out and pressing down on the grass, revealing the surrounding pack of demonic wolves. Their bodies were all radiating light, assuming an attacking posture.
"Wolf King, the Wolf King has been controlling these packs of wolves!" Hu Cai Feng pointed at a giant magical wolf with silver fur and a body over five meters long in the distance, shouting loudly.
That demonic wolf was extremely divine, its entire body covered in silver fur that shone brightly without a single impurity, and its whole body radiated a silver glow, like a spiritual beast.
"This is the Silver Moon Demon Wolf, the king of wolf-type demon beasts, a third-tier peak demon beast!" Han Chong exclaimed.
"What? A third-tier peak demon beast?" Hu Gao exclaimed in disbelief, what concept was a third-tier peak? The fire cloud toad that had made them so desperate in the Dragon Slaying Mountain Range was only a second-tier peak demon beast, this was a whole big level higher!
Hu Gao felt something was off and opened his eyes wider, looking closely, only to discover that the Silver Moon Wolf had holes of blood on its back, although it was still standing upright, but couldn't hide its heavily injured appearance.
As expected, after letting out a few long howls, that silver moon demon wolf lay down, somewhat exhausted and no longer made any sound.
"You hold them off, I'll make a rush and kill that wolf!" Hu Gao decisively made the battle plan. As the saying goes, "catch the thief first, catch the king", if they were to be dragged down by this group of wolves with little consciousness but extremely numerous, they would be exhausted to death here!
"No way, a third-tier peak demon beast, even if it's you, there's no guarantee of winning, no need to go die for nothing. Are you trying to buy us time?" Yun Feng exclaimed, after all, in his eyes, the third-tier peak was an invincible existence for them.
"Yun brother, look at that wolf's state, heavily injured and on the verge of death. It's clear that it had previously clashed with someone. I may not necessarily be without a chance to make a move." Hu Gao patted Yun Feng's shoulder and explained.
Han Chong glanced at Hu Gao, knowing that his current strength was the strongest. This task could only be accomplished by Hu Gao, and if even he failed, then Han Chong and Yun Feng would have no chance either.
"Go with peace of mind, we will clear a path for you on both sides!" Han Chong said fiercely.
"Alright, if I fail, you all try your best to break through and we'll help hold off the demonic wolf." Hu Gao also said.
"No way, how can we leave you behind and run?" Yun Feng Hao refused Hu Gao's proposal without hesitation.
Hu Gao was depressed and rarely saw Hu certain people being so righteous this time, these two were still dawdling, not letting him show off his heroism at all.
"You all listen to me, if we can't make it later, I'll just jump off the cliff behind the Wolf King, who knows, maybe I'll have some kind of adventure, get a few divine martial arts manuals, cultivate for ten or eight years, and definitely come back to find you." Hu Gaoman said with a carefree tone.
