The front of the team was filled with smoke and dust, which quickly attracted the attention of others.
"Lang Hua!" Lan Xi stared at the standing figure with wide eyes.
But while she was distracted, a lean mutant wild wolf opened its huge mouth and pounced ferociously from the side.
"Dang!" "Click——"
The wolf's teeth smashed into an ice shield, and the edges of the broken ice were sharp, causing many bloody cuts on the wolf's face. The lean wild wolf suddenly felt pain, bared his teeth, widened his eyes, and looked at Li Liping, the culprit, with hatred.
However, Li Liping was not afraid at all. In the blink of an eye, several more ice picks were fired at her, forcing the wolf to retreat and avoid. It has to be said that these four wild wolves are only better because of their extremely fast speed. Because they have not awakened their abilities, they are not as difficult as the female wolf. But Li Liping's current main task is still to protect the safety of ordinary evolvers in the team, so she still has to leave it to Lan Xi.
Dazzling white light fell from the sky, grazing the wild wolf's body and inserting into the ground.
"Sword Shadow!"
Lan Xi held the plum frost sword and stabbed it seven times in a short period of time. Most of the sword light did not miss, penetrating under the wild wolf's fur and bringing out a lot of blood.
The wild wolf showed fear for the first time. Although he still bared his teeth, his expression was fierce and his heart was filled with anger.
Lan Xi had just been distracted and was attacked. Although he was not injured, this mistake could obviously be avoided. It was her concern that caused chaos, and she was confused for a moment, which gave this beast an opportunity to take advantage of.
Thinking of this, Lan Xi couldn't help feeling ashamed. The sword moves in his hands became even more fierce, and the Mei Shuang Sword flashed out afterimages, gradually blocking the lean wolf's escape route!
She was originally a speed evolver. She is a master of fast swords, and now that she has awakened the ability "Sword Shadow", she is even more handy. Lan Xi has always kept in mind her master's teachings - a swordsman doesn't need to be the first to win, as long as he finds a flaw, his attack will be a decisive blow!
The four mutant wild wolves were gradually separated in different directions by the ability users. Compared to Lan Xi's side, Haiping seemed to be on full fire from the beginning. Tang Hengdao came out with both swords, and the blades were extremely capable of breaking armor. Although the wild wolf is extremely fast, as long as Hai Ping seizes the opportunity, it will only end up being chopped.
The stab wounds were one after another, each one deeper and more painful than the last. The wild wolf he was fighting with had lost all fighting spirit, and he whimpered and just wanted to escape from this terrifying man. But the other party always held on to it, with a cold expression full of indifference to life.
Some wolves are alive, but it is dead. Hai Ping would never let it leave alive. If it weren't for fear of its deathbed counterattack, perhaps this wolf would have long since surrendered and become the soul of Hai Ping's sword.
Lang Hua is very lucky. The two close combat abilities of "Sword Light" and "Sword Shadow" fully utilize the talents of Hai Ping and Lan Xi. They are simply tailor-made for them.
"Bang bang." "Ouch——"
The battlefield at the end of the team was bustling with noise at this moment.
Unlike new ability users like the Swordsmen and Swordsmen, Lei Li, who was in the early stage of the second level, had been able to fend off two wild wolves on his own from the very beginning. Even if one fights two, ordinary mutant wolves cannot be a fierce opponent. With brother and sister Xia Qing guarding Qin Xiaowen, and Li Liping and Duan Hei protecting the others, Lei Li was naturally able to fight freely. Zonghe's punches were continuous, and even without the energy blessing, he beat the two wild wolves until they howled.
As a second-level ability user, Lei Li knew very well what level Lang Hua's combat prowess was. Therefore, Lei Li had more confidence in Lang Hua than Lan Xi. Even if Lang Hua and the other three were unprepared and suffered a heavy loss, he was not worried about the outcome of this battle.
In front of the team, Lang Hua stood up from the smoke, but he didn't know that Lei Li had such high hopes for him. While resisting the lightning, the muscles of his upper limbs suffered electric shocks, causing Lang Hua's arms to tremble and he could hardly hold the heavy Mo Dao.
If you look closely, you can see that the originally bright white blade has been oxidized into an ugly blue-black color due to the erosion caused by the current flow. And the blue-purple sword light that was finally produced after tempering also became extremely dark at this time.
The energy of thunder and lightning has always been extremely powerful. If this was not a strengthened steel knife, it would be melted by the high temperature at this moment.
Lang Hua had to admit that he was careless this time.
These beasts fight outside all year round, and a lot of acquired training has resulted in their excellent fighting awareness, which is much stronger than most humans. In the early days of the disaster, humans died in large numbers in the battles with the black zombies and black beasts. This was one of the reasons.
And he didn't expect that this female wolf would have two evolutionary abilities.
With both offensive lightning skills and defensive skills, his combat effectiveness is comparable to that of a human second-level ability user.
In the thirteen years since the disaster, the evolution speed of black beasts has always been one step faster than that of humans. Lang Hua knows this very well!
"Whoosh——" "Shen Nian, gather!"
"Boom."
Three more bolts of thunder struck, but this time Yang Bensheng was well prepared. The energy of the thunder that hit the wall of air subsided, and the next moment it turned around and sprayed back towards the she-wolf.
This time was really beyond the she-wolf's expectations. The power of the "returning without success" thunder light was not reduced, making her hair stand on end and she was in a panic for a while.
"I'm fine." Lang Hua winked to the side, "Uncle Lin, give me those two Miao knives!"
"Okay!"
Lang Hua jumped up, caught the two knives and fell back to the ground. These two Miao knives were collections they found in a house on the way. Lang Hua has just recovered from a serious illness, but only half of his strength has been restored. He needs to use lighter weapons to gain an advantage in battle.
As for Mo Dao, who was damaged by lightning, he temporarily stuck it on the ground aside.
"We are going together this time, we must fight quickly." Lang Hua stared at the she-wolf and narrowed his eyes fiercely, "You help me, I want to see how many trump cards it has!"
At first, Lang Hua thought he was just encountering a group of mutated wolves, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a few tough ones. Now he has to go all out!
"Xinghuo - draw the ground as a prison!"
Lin Wenjin took the lead, pulling the fire energy from virtual to solid with both hands, and everyone felt that the air around them seemed to become hotter. Wild wolves have always been one of the animals most sensitive to danger. The female wolf seemed to have sensed something. She looked around and kept scratching the ground with her front paws, looking very anxious.
Just when it hesitated between advancing and retreating, wanting to make a desperate move and fight to the death, a wall of fire rose up against the tip of its nose. For a moment, the female wolf became gray and gray, and the originally white wolf fur on her cheeks became curled and charred. It was frightened and angry, and this time it was almost cooked by the flames!
The wall of fire took root in the ground, surrounded the circular area where the female wolf was, and rose to a height of more than two meters. From the outside, it does look like an uncovered prison of flames. Unless the she-wolf can get wings, how can she escape?
But this is just what ordinary people think. A few seconds later, the flame prison suddenly swelled, as if the water was being blown by a strong wind, or as if a wild animal was about to break free from the sack. The next moment, the she-wolf jumped out through the wall of fire! Sure enough, I still can’t stop it!
But at this moment, Lin Wenjin stepped forward to greet him!
"You're the one I've been waiting for!"
He shouted loudly, raised his arms in a "V" shape, and a blazing white flamingo suddenly appeared from behind him. The big bird, composed of materialized energy flames, swooped towards the she-wolf as soon as it appeared. The ultra-high temperature burns the air into steam. As expected, all the dead branches and leaves along the way were set on fire.
In a flash of lightning, the firebird collided head-on with the she-wolf, directly "sending" each other back to the prison of flames.
"Divine Mind-Control!"
Yang Bensheng took action at this moment, and the flame prison was pulled by it and suddenly collapsed rapidly inside. The flames not only enveloped the female wolf within seconds, but also immediately triggered a violent explosion!
Lang Hua also predicted the opportunity, picked up the sword and ran away. When the flames dissipated, it was time for him to chop down the Miao sword!
But at this moment, a figure emerged from the explosion again. Lang Hua was shocked and quickly turned around to avoid hitting it.
"not good!"
Lang Hua suddenly realized that this female wolf was not simply missing, her target was actually Lin Wenjin!
If you want to say who among the ability users present it hates the most, of course it has to be the fire ability user Lin Wenjin!
Yang Bensheng obviously realized this, but he was at another point on the diagonal, and it was too late for rescue!
"Get out of the way!"
Lin Wenjin rolled to the side in response, but was still slapped on the shoulder by the huge wolf claws, which made three long bloody mouths.
"Die! Maimang!"
"brush--"
After he landed, he didn't care about dealing with the bloody wounds. He sat up and took out his crossbow and fired three rounds. The slender crossbow arrow was extremely sharp. Under the guidance of the skill "Maimang" and Lin Wenjin's will, it shot towards the face of the she-wolf as if guided by a laser!
"Ouch!"
The she-wolf turned around to avoid it at the critical moment, but was stabbed in the shoulder by a crossbow arrow. The arrow penetrated two inches into the flesh, making it furious.
The crossbow arrows failed to cause much damage, but Lin Wenjin suddenly discovered to his surprise that the she-wolf's defense ability was broken!
"Seize the opportunity, its defense capability is gone!"
Lin Wenjin warned aloud, but Lang Hua moved a step faster. He held two swords and appeared beside the she-wolf like a ghost, his swords sharp and slashing fiercely.
Blood splattered, wolves howled horribly, and the outcome was a foregone conclusion...
All four wild wolves had died at the hands of the ability users, and this female wolf had also suffered a broken bowel and was dying. The only strange thing is that the alpha wolf never showed up.
"Brother Lang, come here quickly!"
It was Xiao Heizi's voice. After the battle, he was ordered to go to the front to investigate, and he expected to find something.
People were being attracted by Duan Hei's call, but unexpectedly the she-wolf propped up her body and ran forward staggeringly. Lang Hua and others were worried that Duan Hei was in danger and hurried to follow, but they saw a scene that shocked them...
Corpses, animal carcasses are everywhere in the jungle, and limbs and arms are everywhere. These corpses were extremely broken, and it would not be an exaggeration to say they were in pieces. Among them were wild wolves and the macaques that Lang Hua had seen before.
"Ah, it's a monkey. A mutant beast?"
"Stay away, it's the Necromorph."
After Lang Hua issued the warning, people saw that most of the red-faced macaques with brown hair on the ground had already fallen off. The skin of many macaques has ulcerated, exposing dark red muscles, but this is definitely not caused by being bitten by other creatures. Even the few remaining heads still had their gray-brown monkey eyes wide open at this time, and their mouths were opening and closing in front of everyone, as if they were eager to bite everyone.
"Re-engraved-Wind Blade."
With two "clicks", Lang Hua activated two dart-shaped wind blades and smashed the two monkey heads into pieces without expression.
He turned around and ordered: "Hai Ping, Lan Xi, check to see if these things on the ground are dead."
"Yes." "Yes, leader."
"There are six wolf corpses and at least 30 monkey corpses," Lin Wenjin sighed. "It seems that there was a big battle here not long ago."
"Chief, come and see."
Hearing Xiao Heizi's call, people continued to move forward and saw the she-wolf standing in front of a cave, confronting the crowd. The thing in the hole has been taken out by Xiao Heizi, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a little wolf cub.
This young wolf has gray-brown hair and is only as big as two palms. It was protected by the female wolf at the moment, and it looked like it had not yet opened its eyes, as if it had just been born. The female wolf wrinkled her nose, bared her teeth and made a threatening "whining" sound, but despite her severe injuries, she seemed a bit strong but weak at the same time.
"Perhaps the wolves wanted to protect the mother wolf who was giving birth, and that's why they had to conflict with the corpse monkeys." Lei Li was well-informed and quickly guessed the truth of the matter.
Lan Xi also reported back at this time: "The corpses have been cleaned up. There are 6 mutated wild wolves, one of which should be the alpha wolf. As for the monkeys that were torn into pieces, they are all necromorphs without exception."
Yang Bensheng suddenly asked: "Xiaohua, when you returned to Shashi from here before, have you ever encountered these corpse monkeys?"
"That's not true. There was a group of mutated monkeys blocking us along the way, but I used a detonator to scare them away." Lang Hua recalled, "I think these should be the same group."
In the days when Lang Hua left, some kind of accident happened to the group of macaques in the jungle, and all of them turned into corpses.
This made people take a deep breath, knowing that this was once a whole herd of black beasts. This situation makes people unable to help but recall the nightmare that happened on the night of "Advent"...
Lei Li shook his head and said: "The wolf pack has a strong sense of community and has always attached great importance to protecting its cubs, not to mention that the one currently giving birth is the mate of the alpha wolf."
"Xiaohua, can you...let them go?"
Lin Qian came closer, her expression seemed to be unbearable.
Since entering the jungle, Lang Hua found that "Red-haired Lin Qian" gradually disappeared. Whether Lang Hua's threat was effective or the second personality retired on its own after the danger subsided, it is always a good thing that the initiative can be returned to the real Lin Qian again.
It's just that this Lin Qian doesn't seem to remember clearly what happened after she went crazy, and she was always in a daze along the way.
"They encountered a group of corpse monkeys, and then encountered us. Now they are dead and injured. It is already very pitiful..."
"What's so pitiful? They want to eat us!" Xiao Heizi was outspoken and blurted out what was on his mind.
Lin Wenjin also nodded and said: "Yes, if we hadn't been more powerful, we would be just a pile of bones now."
"But..." Lin Qian said anxiously.
"It's not that I don't want to," Lang Hua shook his head slightly and interrupted her, pointing at the female wolf and said, "It is too infected by the corpse poison and is already dead."
"ah."
Qin Xiaowen suddenly let out a soft cry and hid behind Xia Shuang in fear. She grabbed her sleeve and pointed at the female wolf and said, "Its eyes have turned red!"
When people looked around, they saw that the female wolf's eye sockets were sunken and her pupils were dark red and purple. Its upper and lower rows of teeth kept fighting, saliva slowly dripped from its mouth, and the wounds on its front paws were festering and turning black. Around the wound, blue-purple lines were clearly visible, seemingly gradually connecting along the blood vessels to the body of the female wolf!
"Ho ho."
When people saw this, they couldn't help but take a step back, and Lang Hua also suddenly concentrated his attention.
"No, it's going to turn into a corpse!" He said in a deep voice.
As soon as he finished speaking, the she-wolf, which had transformed into a corpse beast, jumped towards him. Lang Hua took half a step back and held the knife in one hand between the two rows of wolf teeth. The "squeaking" sound caused by the collision of hard objects made his teeth sore.
"Lang Hua!"
"Die!" Lang Hua had quick eyes and quick hands. He decisively took out a pistol with his other hand and stuffed it directly into the wolf's mouth.
The bullet penetrated the soft connective tissue, penetrated the skull and flew backwards in the blink of an eye. With a "bang" sound, the wolf corpse hit the fallen leaves hard, making a muffled sound.
"Is Xiaohua okay? It was really dangerous just now." Lin Wenjin recalled the scene just now and couldn't help but feel cold sweat for Lang Hua.
"It's nothing. Fortunately, we are here this time..." Lang Hua suddenly said as he looked at the female wolf that was transformed into a corpse and then killed.
"What?" Lin Wenjin frowned in confusion, and soon figured out the key. The others seemed to have thought of something and fell silent for a moment.
Yes, for the female wolf, it doesn't matter whether she can defeat the ability users. The point is that the corpse poison is about to attack, and no one can save it.
And if the team allows them to leave, there may be a scene of flesh and blood killing them soon. After all, necromorphs have no sense, and it is not uncommon for them to devour their former companions.
"In this difficult world, perhaps it would be a better outcome to have your life ended by your loved ones in your sleep." Among the crowd, Duan Qing thought silently in her heart.
"Of course, as long as the two of us meet, we will never be able to live in peace." Lang Hua comforted the others, "We and the black corpses and black beasts are in a predator-prey relationship, and this will never change. If it weren’t for the fact that there are still many ability users in the team, it might have already entered people’s stomachs and become a feast for evolutionaries to replenish their energy.”
After hearing Lang Hua's explanation, people's faces looked much better. But now the surroundings are full of corpses, and the smell of decay is not good, making people feel vaguely nauseated.
"With well-developed canine teeth and strong limbs, if it hadn't been for this accident, he might have been the wolf king of the generation." Yang Bensheng was squatting next to a strong wolf corpse and couldn't help but sigh while observing.
The wolf was nearly two meters long and appeared to weigh 70 kilograms. Its fur is smooth and white, and it is more majestic and beautiful than any of the wolves present. It is estimated that its evolutionary level is not low. But at this time, the white and soft fur was stained with blood. The wolf's head was tilted to one side and his eyes were closed tightly. Its body curled up into a soft ball, and it was unknown how brutal a battle it had been during its lifetime.
Presumably he is the father of the cubs, the alpha male of the pack.
And even such a powerful wolf still died under the siege of the corpse monkeys... People couldn't help but shudder when they thought of this.
"A group of corpse monkeys...are they really that scary?" Duan Qing asked blankly among the crowd.
"It's much scarier than we can imagine. Compared with black corpses, the corpse beasts produced after the transformation of animals are relatively more difficult to deal with. They are flexible and agile, and can often launch sudden attacks on other creatures without being restricted by the environment. Attack. The current group of black corpses may only surround and chase, but corpse monkeys have a natural fighting advantage in the jungle. Imagine that if you can't attack the corpse monkeys, the opponent can jump from the branches and vines in all directions. Wouldn’t it be tiring to deal with an attack on your back?”
Lang Hua shook his head to himself and continued: "If the wolves had made up their mind to escape when they first encountered the group of corpse monkeys, they might still be able to get rid of these guys..."
His explanation made Lin Wenjin suddenly enlightened. The next moment, the latter took over and said: "But the wolves never thought of escaping in the first place. The apocalypse suddenly occurred, and past experience is no longer useful. The wolves did not expect that one day they would be hunted by prey in turn, and they did not expect that they would always be happy. Macaques that eat banana fruit are now very interested in their own flesh and blood."
"Besides, the female alpha wolf is giving birth. Even if they suffer a big loss in the first encounter, the wolves have no room to retreat." Lin Wenjin shook his head and said no more.
He didn't need to tell what happened next, everyone could guess a rough idea.
Lin Wenjin is actually right. The wild wolf does not have the wisdom of humans, nor does it have the reminder of the "Sirian Wolf Prophecy Post", and does not know that the life gate of the necromorph is at the back of the head. Unlike the usual prey that gradually dies after its throat is bitten, the vitality of the Necromorph is beyond the imagination of wild wolves.
Imagine if, just as you bite your prey's throat, sighing that the battle is over, the other person turns around and bites you in the face. Will you be afraid that the prey that was eaten has now turned into a monster that loves flesh and blood?
Although mutant wolves are powerful, those zombies that have no fear and are not afraid of death are even more difficult to deal with. As long as their brain core is not damaged, even if only half of their body is left, they will crawl over and hope to bite you on the leg.
Thinking of this, Xia Shuang couldn't help but tremble.
In fact, when the wolves discovered that they could kill their opponents only by tearing them into pieces, the hard battle had already begun.
And long before the battle heated up, the bravest wild wolves who were the first to come into contact with the corpse monkeys had been bitten by the corpse monkeys in many places.
The more corpse poison wounds there are, the faster they will die. This is common sense in the apocalypse.
The reason why necromorphs are terrifying is not only because of their tenacious vitality, ignorance of fear, and fear of life and death, but also because of the biochemical poison that poses the greatest threat to hidden parasites at this stage - spore corpse poison.
No one can care less about the siege of a group of zombie beasts. This is true for ability users, and the evolved alpha wolf is no exception.
When the crowd was silent, Lin Qian had already picked out all the wolf cubs from the cave with Duan Hei's help. There were three in the litter, but the other two pups had unfortunately died due to premature birth.
"What should we do with the remaining little guy?" Lin Qian frowned and asked as she looked at the broken corpses lying around.
The female alpha wolf joins the fight after giving birth, so there are fewer wounds. Although the survival of the female wolf proves that the wolves won a tragic victory in this battle, no one can guarantee that there will not be other corpse beasts in the jungle.
The surviving little wolf cowered on the haystack with its tiger head and tiger head, which made people reluctant to leave it here to fend for itself.
Lin Qian begged: "Leave it to Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao used to like puppies very much."
She pulled Yang Xiaoxiao to Xiaolang, but the latter was like a puppet on strings, letting her play with it, but there was no response.
"How to deal with these corpses?" Lan Xi asked Lang Hua for instructions.
"We don't need to worry about this. There is no shortage of scavenging zombies in the jungle. Look for any useful crystal cores and pack them up before leaving. As for this she-wolf..." Lang Hua avoided Lin Qian's eager gaze and said, He sighed and said, "Find a good place and bury it."
When they fled, they had no conditions for burial. Now that we are about to arrive at the base, we will make an exception.
Lang Hua sighed in his heart and looked at Yang Xiaoxiao, who was squatting in a corner like a patient in a daze. Others found an open space with light and worked hard to dig up the soil. Yang Xiaoxiao stared at these people blankly, wondering if he thought of his mother who was buried on the hillside.
The uncle said that when she was alive, my mother... liked sunny places the most.
Someone squatted down next to him, and Yang Xiaoxiao slowly turned back.
Qin Xiaowen next to her turned her head, tried her best to smile gently, and said, "Look, this little guy is very cute. Let him accompany you through this period, what do you think... okay?"
She held the little wolf in her hands and raised it to Yang Xiaoxiao as if to please. The little wolf let out a cry at this time and opened his eyes. Among the gray-brown fur, the eyes like black gems are bright and lively. There is curiosity and confusion in the eyes looking at Yang Xiaoxiao.
Qin Xiaowen stroked the little wolf's head. The latter raised his head, humming and humming his little head in her hand, looking very close. She looked at Yang Xiaoxiao excitedly, but the other party never responded. She stared at the dead branches and leaves at her feet and didn't know what she was thinking.
However, Qin Xiaowen was not discouraged and spoke to Yang Xiaoxiao weakly and patiently. When the others saw this scene, they went about their own business without disturbing them.
Lang Hua saw all this, and he knew that Qin Xiaowen was such a gentle and kind person. In those bloody days, she was Lang Hua's white moonlight, a treasure that he cherished and could never forget. She cheered him up countless times in the darkness, struggling to defeat the weak and escape from death... …
Not long after, when people packed up the scene and prepared to set off again, Yang Xiaoxiao seemed to react to Qin Xiaowen's persistence.
Yang Xiaoxiao's eyes were still dull. She looked down at herself with empty eyes, then at Little Wolf, and said her first words in a long time.
She muttered, "You son of a bitch."
