Chapter 24: Volume A, Polygonum Flowers, A Disparate Battle
"No, that red-tailed wolf seems to have been wandering in the forest beside the skyscraper. It has not come down the mountain and has not been seen. A few days ago, a black-tailed wolf emerged from nowhere and slipped along the long stream.
They came in and killed nine people, including Zou Delong, the head of the Zou family, and now everyone in the village is in danger."
The tall man became nervous and hurriedly wanted to go up to the sentry tower: "Huaisheng, you came back at a really bad time. I can't take care of you anymore. I'm going to go up to the sentry tower first."
The Zou family, Zou Delong, and Chen Huaisheng knew about it, and they were also Taoists, but they were a bit old, almost seventy.
Before Chen Huaisheng left, Zou Delong was one of the seven council members of the Yuanbaozhai Assembly Hall. Why did he encounter such a bad luck?
The question is how come so many monsters appear in Yuanbao Village at once?
There are two sly wolves, and the thousands of people in the entire Yuanbao Village are not enough to cause harm to them. If we don't find a few cultivators at level three or above of Qi Refining to deal with them, this place will have to be abandoned.
The question is what causes this situation to occur?
In addition to first-order monsters like the wolf, are there any other more ferocious monsters hiding behind them?
Although monsters are terrifying, they have followed rules for thousands of years. They are limited by their own living environment and are in forbidden areas and will not come out easily.
It's okay if one comes out occasionally, but two wolves appear one after another like this, and when you think of the ghost-beaked tits mentioned by Zhou Chunping, it's really not peaceful.
For a moment, Chen Huaisheng didn't know whether he should go home first or stay here to check the situation first.
Fortunately, soon the sentry tower shouted: "Huaisheng, Huaisheng, come up quickly, that evil beast is coming this way, and the people in the village are surrounding it..."
Without any time to think, Chen Huaisheng hurriedly climbed up the ladder to the sentry tower, and then looked in the direction of Chen Daosheng's finger.
The entire Yuanbaoyuan area is in chaos, and every door is closed.
Only a few groups of people were armed with large shields, spears, and machetes to take defensive measures, while others were armed with long bows and formed an attack formation, constantly aiming and shooting at a gray-white wolf.
Rather than saying that the wolf in the middle was being surrounded and hunted, Chen Huaisheng felt more like he was being driven away, that helpless people were trying to drive him out of Yuanbao Village in this way.
But the problem is that if you can't kill this first-order monster, you can't expect to be able to guard against it.
Even if you drive it out of Yuanbao Village now, so what, it can easily get in at night, wander around at will, and eat when it chooses.
It can still be seen that Yuanbaozhai put a lot of thought into dealing with this strange wolf.
There were three attack formations, each with five people, two holding shields and knives, two holding spears, and one holding an arrow. They formed an arc to block the wolf and drove it this way.
There are several people behind the three attack formations who should be filling in at any time as a reserve team. They all hold swords and shields and look nervous.
The wolf has gray hair, high ears, dark eyes, a light gait, and a big pure black satin tail swaying from side to side, giving it a somewhat leisurely look.
It was obvious that the siege by humans did not cause it much trouble.
It was also the first time that Chen Huaisheng faced this first-order monster.
In the past, when I was a hunter, I mostly hunted low-grade monsters, exquisite rabbits, arrow deer, running sheep and other things with little attack power.
He was only acting as an assistant, helping to set up ambushes to prevent these rankless monsters from escaping, and to provide assistance to the monks in the sect who specialized in hunting.
Even if you occasionally hunt first-level monsters, they are mostly monsters such as fire-bristle boars that are large in size and strong in combat power, but less threatening, and only once.
But things are different today. The combat effectiveness and threat of the wolf are different from those of the unworthy monsters. Although the fire-maned wild boar is ferocious, its intelligence is much inferior to that of the wolf.
As long as you set up a good trap and have enough magical weapons, it will be relatively easy to hunt them down.
"Boom! Boom!"
The two archers saw the opportunity and fired furiously.
I saw the wolf leaping up suddenly, its body more than a foot high in the air, flipping and twisting easily, dodging two magic arrows shot at a combined angle.
The arrows fired like lightning, with a strong offensive aura, and the arrowheads exuded faint fireflies, which were obviously filled with magic power.
The wolf dodged the shooting, made a graceful and strange drift in the air, raised its head and howled, turned from defense to attack, and suddenly rushed towards the nearest attack formation.
The two large shield bearers were not slow to react, and they suddenly collided with each other, intending to hit it with the spiked shield surface.
But the wolf is so cunning, this is just a fake move.
When two large shields came to attack it, its body suddenly fell to the ground, and it made an extremely fast claw-tearing movement from its flanks.
A few white, tangible energy, like white bone claws, suddenly protruded from the wolf's claws, and in the blink of an eye, it tore the throat of a spear-wielding man behind the big shield.
The shrill screams rose and fell suddenly, and then stopped abruptly. When the other two attack formations surrounded them, the wolf kicked off the ground again, slid five steps away, and escaped from the encirclement.
Before several groups of people could adjust, the wolf had already dodged a magic arrow in the air, made a half-circle at an extremely fast speed, and headed straight for the reserve personnel behind who had not yet formed a protective formation.
Amid the screams, how could the busy people withstand the sudden attack of the wolf?
By the time the three attack formations were readjusted, two people had been injured by the wolf's attack.
One person's chest was torn open, his heart and lungs were visible, and blood was flowing wildly. He must not be alive.
The other person's shoulder was struck by the opponent's wolf claws. His muscles were blurred and his bones were deeply visible. His face was twisted in pain and tears were streaming down his face. However, he was still in good condition and it was not fatal.
But the wolf also paid a price.
Finally, an archer seized the opportunity and shot an arrow from the gap between the shields.
The arrow hit the wolf's back butt, and the arrow was knocked away by the wolf, but the Lihuo on the arrow had already ignited the strange and magnificent fur of the wolf.
The wolf escaped from the encirclement and rolled continuously on the ground, lashing its buttocks with its big tail, but still could not extinguish the flames on its body.
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd.
It was finally done. This was Nanming Lihuo. As long as it was attached to something, it would be indestructible. It finally gave this evil beast a fatal blow.
Obviously, none of the other weapons can cause much substantial damage to the wolf, except the Jiamu Lihuo Arrow. This thing is well made and expensive, and the village has put a lot of effort into it.
But everyone was obviously happy too early.
The wolf also realized the power of the burning flames on its body, and immediately turned its head and grinned, raising its head and sucking in, because the severe pain caused by the burning of the fire into the body made the wolf's head become even more ferocious.
He suddenly lowered his head and turned his head, roaring towards the burning spot on his lower back, and blurted out the Youbai Danqi.
The faint alchemy energy swirled around and turned into misty lotuses, surrounding the flames on the wolf's waist.
The flame seemed to be struggling in the white mist, but the white mist never went away, and eventually turned into a white air band as thin as a gossamer, which seemed to wrap the flame tighter and tighter, and finally strangled the flame and slowly extinguished it.
After being so stimulated, the wolf finally became furious. He bared his teeth, and all the dark brown manes on his back stood up. His huge wolf tail kept beating the ground, his claws were raised high, and his fierce eyes looked at the already confused person.
Looking for the most suitable hunting target among the piles.
