The group continued on their way, even slower this time. Although no one knew what was happening fifteen meters away, and they were aware that their perception was useless, they still maintained a high level of vigilance.
Bai Wu was quite satisfied with everyone’s attitude. At least the effect of the revelation made people take things more seriously.
He walked in the middle of the team, observing and thinking, and his heart was filled with an increasing sense of chaos associated with the coalition of regions.
"Previously, I saw mechanical creatures at the zoo, and that area was almost entirely inhabited by mechanical creatures. The characteristic of mechanical creatures is stability. Their movements have a mechanical sense of order and beauty."
"But the footprints we saw earlier were uneven, which shows that each step had a slightly different force. I tentatively guess that it was not a mechanical creature."
The silhouette of the distant mountains became clearer through the dense fog, which remained heavy.
This fog gave the impression of the other side of the mountain, the other side of the sea, being inhabited by a group of lovely Smurfs—at least Bai Wu didn’t feel any sense of danger.
Even though the group had recklessly approached the lair of the Evil Fallen.
This feeling made Bai Wu think that both humans and the Evil Fallen were groping in the dark.
Evil Fallen from the white region, blue region, and purple region, biological and mechanical Evil Fallen, all blindfolded and wandering. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
It’s a matter of who bumps into whom first.
If all the Evil Fallen were heading towards that distant mountain, Bai Wu could determine that the closer they got to that mountain, the higher the possibility of encountering the Evil Fallen would be.
About three minutes later, the first Evil Fallen appeared.
[Level 5 Mutation, rare Mutation Entry: Sharp Fang Spike, triple wisdom. Given its two seconds of life remaining, there’s no need for further introduction. It’s worth mentioning that this is a wolf, not a dog.]
Two seconds later, the level 5 Evil Fallen, resembling a Hellhound with three heads, was decapitated by Wu Jiu with a single wave-like cleave, separating all three heads from their bodies.
Bai Wu couldn’t help but marvel, Little Dwarf truly was a master of beheading.
However, Bai Wu suddenly remembered the last remark in the note and immediately said:
"Be on alert, there’s more than one Evil Fallen."
Wolves often move in packs.
Bai Wu had no doubt that fifteen meters away, there might be several three-headed wolves howling.
Indeed, before his thought had even finished, three more massively sized wolves charged in, all nine heads roaring!
In that instant, Bai Wu felt the team’s tacit coordination.
Shang Xiaoyi charged forward like a mad dog, as if it wasn’t hungry wolves pouncing on him, but he pouncing on the hungry wolves.
But although Shang Xiaoyi was crazy, his positioning was matched with Wang Shi, one on the left and one on the right. One stood in front of Bai Wu and the other in front of Yin Shuang.
Wu Jiu was in the middle, still as aloof as ever with his cut, executing a smooth arc, silencing three heads before they could even howl.
Compared to Wu Jiu, Shang Xiaoyi and Wang Shi were at a standstill.
In terms of strength, they were fairly evenly matched with the Evil Fallen. The other two three-headed wolves, seeing their companion killed, became enraged but were swiftly slain by Wu Jiu.
Bai Wu felt quite relieved.
Perhaps these people were all newbies, all spotted by Little Dwarf for their potential, and then gradually trained.
So it was not that he was clinging to five strong legs, but rather five people clinging to one strong leg.
The battle was not over; the wolf pack began to pour in.
Coming from the blue region to the north, a dense forest, a few days ago an Evil Fallen came to their territory.
In seven hundred years, they had only seen humans come to die but had never encountered an Evil Fallen.
Under the persuasion of that Evil Fallen, the wolf pack learned a shocking secret and thus accepted the invitation to head for that mountain.
No one knew how many Evil Fallen would respond to the call, the one with the travel ship ticket, unrestricted by regions, seemed like a persuasive spokesperson at the utmost level.
Under its persuasion, more and more Evil Fallen began to gather, heading toward that area.
Despite accepting the persuasion, the Evil Fallen were unable to maintain harmony amongst themselves.
This dense fog also served to prevent the Evil Fallen from plundering each other.
As a wolf pack, they were strong, bloodthirsty, and possessed terrifying sensory abilities. Along the way, they encountered other Evil Fallen and, under the leadership of the head wolf, defeated many of them.
After all, most Evil Fallen in other regions don’t like to move in groups. But wolves are different.
It’s just that this time... they never expected to encounter a team of humans. freёwebnovel.com
They certainly didn’t expect that this team of humans would become the wolf pack’s terminators.
Wang Shi, Lin Wurou, and Shang Xiaoyi, all fifth-level, were responsible for protecting Yin Shuang, the healer, and Bai Wu, the scout, while Wu Jiu was in charge of slaying.
Their cooperation was well-organized, and although these wolves possessed "triple the intelligence," three wolf heads ultimately couldn’t compare to human brains—the intelligence base was just too low.
Before long, the ground was littered with the bodies of the wolf pack... and the heads of three times as many bodies.
Bai Wu really wished the pot could be possessed by spirits, to have a dog meat hotpot meal; he missed this taste.
When nearly half of the wolf pack had perished, the head wolf at the other end of the dense fog, realizing that his followers were leaving but not returning, finally sensed something was amiss.
The most formidable head wolf joined the battlefield.
In that moment, the situation changed!
Wang Shi and Shang Xiaoyi, working together, were still sent flying by a single swipe of the paw from the alpha wolf, which was three times larger than an ordinary Hellhound!
"Awooo—woooo—"
The alpha wolf sounded the charge, but apart from the wolves within a fifteen-meter radius, the rest of the pack couldn’t hear it.
Bai Wu watched the massive Alpha Wolf, spotting a treasure on its body:
"[Despite the insurmountable gap between level five mutations and level six, this level six mutant monster also has rich combat experience. However, look at you, so unruffled and calm, clearly recognizing that—in front of Little Dwarf, the difference between level five and six is just between dying from one slash, and dying from multiple slashes... one slash at a time. But if you’re the one to kill it, perhaps you’ll pick up an ability that’s not too shabby, Sequence 479: Double Strength.]"
The alpha wolf was actually a carrier of a Sequence?
Bai Wu didn’t stop Wu Jiu from attacking, as he wanted to conduct an experiment.
In fact, when Bai Wu faced that snake, when he faced Elijah, he wanted to know if other humans, like Dwarf, initiated the attack, would Dwarf gain the Sequence.
The battle between Wu Jiu and the alpha wolf lasted thirty seconds, with the wolf’s three heads still firmly attached.
Throughout the battle, Wu Jiu continued to overpower the massive Hellhound, but its thick skin and flesh meant it couldn’t be easily beheaded by Wu Jiu, though it wouldn’t last much longer.
Every slash from Wu Jiu couldn’t kill it instantly, but it caused immense pain.
Lin Wurou and the others initially thought that in a few more minutes, their captain would literally shock the wolf to death, slash by slash.
But Wu Jiu didn’t want to waste time.
Suddenly, he led the wolf into the dense fog. Both man and wolf disappeared together.
Lin Wurou, Wang Shi, and Shang Xiaoyi immediately prepared to rush into the fog to help their captain, but Bai Wu stopped them:
"Don’t add to the chaos; the captain will be back soon."
No sooner had he spoken than a huge, round object rolled into view at the edge of the dense fog.
It was the head wolf’s head, and Wu Jiu’s figure appeared soon after:
"Finished off the wolves, let’s keep moving."
Everyone else was surprised at how the captain all of a sudden managed to kill the wolf, while Bai Wu was puzzled—
"Strange... why didn’t Dwarf get the Sequence?"
