War Wolf Secret Realm.
Inside the Wolf God Hall of the main city.
An elite wolf king walked in, “Exalted Wolf Saint, we just received word that the group of Chinese warriors who suddenly appeared has not been captured yet!”
“Useless!” A colossal wolf with fur radiating a silvery glow slowly turned around, its wolf eyes filled with anger.
“Tomorrow is the day my father will awaken from his century-long slumber, and these powerful warriors would have been the perfect sacrifice, yet you lot have failed to capture them after several days!”
All the wolves in the room lowered their heads, not daring to speak.
The Wolf Saint paced back and forth within the vast hall, taking a moment before he spoke in a deep voice, “Send out the orders, dispatch the Divine Blood Battle Wolves, and make sure to capture these intruders today!”
“Yes!” The colossal wolf did not retreat.
“Is there anything else?”
“Exalted Wolf Saint, we have suddenly lost contact with Snow Wolf City…”
“Snow Wolf City?” The Wolf Saint frowned, “That disappointing Snow Wolf King probably ran off to play again. Leave it be, once my father, the Wolf God, awakens tomorrow, the king will feel the summons and naturally return!”
“Yes!”
Following the Wolf Saint’s command, the most elite fighters among the werewolves, the Divine Blood Battle Wolves, were mobilized.
Meanwhile, on a mountain about a hundred kilometers away from the main city.
Cheng Hao and his men had just survived another attack, and were now seizing the time to rest.
In the last few days, they had lost count of how many attacks they had endured from the werewolves.
These werewolves were incredibly strong and quite intelligent.
If it were not for the favorable terrain and Cheng Hao and his men fighting desperately in retaliation, they probably could not have held their ground.
But Cheng Hao knew they were close to their limit.
Over these past days, the combat rations they had brought with them had been completely depleted, and now they were surviving on wild fruits and hares they could catch.
But this was nowhere near enough to sustain the demands of such intense fighting.
Everyone was starting to weaken at a visibly rapid pace.
Yet even so, everyone’s will to fight remained high.
In Sun Ling’s words, “We are the elite trained by our instructors, how could we possibly lose to these beasts.”
“Captain, you eat!” Zou Yi carefully handed over the last bag of combat rations to Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao shook his head, “I just ate a roasted rabbit, I’m not hungry yet!”
In fact, Cheng Hao couldn’t remember when he last ate.
Zou Yi became somewhat anxious, “Captain, how can you not eat? If you collapse from hunger, who will command us?”
Just as Cheng Hao was about to say something, the werewolves below launched another attack.
This attack was more frenzied than any before.
Cheng Hao calmly ordered his men to counterattack using the terrain to their advantage.
Several werewolf corpses had already begun to appear on the ground.
Just then, a giant wolf charged ferociously, its claws nearly reaching Cheng Hao’s shoulder.
Cheng Hao wanted to dodge, but his vision was dimming, so his reaction was delayed by half a second.
The giant wolf was excited, these lowly people’s troops were simply too tenacious; seven or eight days of assaults had not brought these humans down but had instead caused non-negligible casualties among the werewolves.
This infuriated these arrogant werewolves.
This time, they finally had the commander within their grasp!
But as it was rejoicing, it felt a shock in its paw and realized it couldn’t grab hold.
Looking down, it saw Zhou Da Niu radiating dazzling golden light, who bellowed, “Get lost!”
As he spoke, Zhou Da Niu mustered all his remaining strength and punched the giant wolf in the abdomen.
Bang!
The giant wolf was sent flying dozens of meters away, an expression of pain flashing across its face.
Zhou Daniu was also gasping for breath at this moment, nearly collapsing to the ground.
Cheng Hao hurriedly went to support him, “Da Niu!”
“Captain, I reckon I can’t hold on much longer!” Zhou Daniu said weakly.
During the continuous battles these days, Zhou Daniu often played the role of the vanguard and the main force because he practiced the Indestructible Vajra Method, which caused his strength to deplete rapidly.
Although everyone reduced their rations to ensure his supply as much as possible, they were still on the verge of collapse.
Cheng Hao felt a heavy weight in his heart and said solemnly, “Da Niu, don’t panic, rest for a while, I’ll take over!”
Zou Yi returned at this moment, his face covered in dust.
He had just sneaked over, trying to kill a giant wolf, but failed to do so.
“Da Niu, are you alright?” Zou Yi was more concerned about his partner than anyone else.
“Don’t worry, I won’t die just yet!” Zhou Daniu cracked a smile.
After a wave of attacks, the giant wolves retreated once again.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and began to take the opportunity to rest.
But they had barely sat down for a minute when a huge commotion came from the bottom of the mountain.
While everyone was still puzzled, they suddenly felt the mountain tremble slightly, and then a group of golden wolves, much larger than the ordinary giant wolves, were charging towards them.
Cheng Hao’s heart sank, but he still roared, “All members, get ready!”
Everyone understood that this was the last time.
Yet, no one felt fear.
Everyone stood up, formed their formation, and faced the golden wolves charging up from the mountain.
Zou Yi rested his hand on Zhou Daniu’s shoulder, “Hey, old ox, if I die, remember to kowtow to my parents for me!”
Zhou Daniu grinned, “I won’t go, because I’ll probably die before you do!”
Zou Yi laughed and hugged Zhou Daniu tightly, “Good brother, in the next life, let’s fight side by side again!”
Zhou Daniu nodded, “Okay!”
Sun Ling then approached Cheng Hao and said with a flickering gaze, “Captain, later we’ll hold off this group of giant wolves, and you can break out through the small path at the foot of the mountain.”
Cheng Hao looked at Sun Ling and smiled faintly, “The captain of Fire Phoenix has never fled from battle, remember, if I die, you take my place!”
After saying that, Cheng Hao shouted loudly, “All members, for the instructor, for Fire Phoenix, carry out the final sprint and counterattack! Even in death, let’s have these beasts buried with us!”
“Yes!” Everyone responded thunderously.
At this moment, the Divine Blood Battle Wolves had already charged close.
The members of Fire Phoenix were entangled in battle with these creatures.
The situation had reached a stalemate.
In the distance, a golden wolf with an arrogant demeanor coldly said, “I don’t know what the Wolf God is thinking, demanding them alive; otherwise, my subordinates would have torn these wretches to shreds long ago!”
“The Snow Wolf King is right, but I don’t think these lowly humans will last much longer!” a Silver Wolf nodded and bowed in agreement.
The golden wolf was getting impatient at this moment, took a step forward, and roared, “Wolf God Secret Art!”
Boom.
A thin silver glow enveloped all of its subordinates.
Their defense and attack power were both greatly multiplied.
The members of Fire Phoenix were already at their wit’s end, and soon they were all knocked to the ground, the scales tipping against them.
The wolves didn’t deliver the killing blow, but Cheng Hao and the others understood that they had no intention of sparing them.
So they exchanged glances and secretly drew out their daggers.
“Until the next life!” they whispered, preparing to end their own lives.
Just at that moment, an angry shout came from the distance.
“Who dares to touch my people?”
