On the horizon, a faint wisp of pale white appeared, as if the sky were lifting the curtain of night. Gradually, the pale white spread, its color deepening, and the sky changed from blood red to a warm orange-red.

Suddenly, a tiny bright spot slowly rose on the horizon. The spot gradually expanded and became brighter, until a huge fireball rose, turning the surrounding clouds golden.

The sun finally rose completely above the horizon, its light instantly illuminating the entire world.

Meanwhile, the military mages on the fortress walls also witnessed an astonishing scene.

A huge figure leaped up and appeared abruptly on a protruding, massive rock.

This is a huge and agile wolf, tens of feet long, with every muscle exuding power.

Its skin is a deep blue-black, covered with dense silver scales that shimmer with a cold light in the sunlight, like stars embedded in the darkness.

The giant wolf had a huge head, with a hard bony protrusion on its forehead covered with fine lines.

His eyes were bloodshot, gleaming with a fierce and cunning light.

Rank 8 magical beast, Storm Dragon Wolf.

It stood atop the boulder, looking down at the human fortress from afar, as if it were looking at a small poultry pen.

"Storm... Storm Dragon Wolf!" a knowledgeable military mage exclaimed in alarm.

As soon as he finished speaking, one dark figure after another darted out from behind the boulder.

They were all high-level Gale Wolf Kings, ranging from Tier 5 to Tier 3, nearly a hundred of them, scattered around the Storm Dragon Wolves.

Immediately afterwards, packs of Swiftwind Wolves appeared behind the leader of the magical beasts. They roared incessantly at the fortress, their howls filling the entire forest.

Awooo...

The Storm Dragon Wolf howled to the sky, instantly drowning out the voices of all the Gale Wolves.

But as it howled, the wolves stopped howling and began to move.

A blue tide covered the forest; the tide was formed by countless swift wolves.

They ran wildly, they roared, and they made the small fortress shake violently!

Their blood-red eyes revealed their hatred and ferocity towards humans.

Such magical beasts were destined to be unable to coexist with humans.

Amidst such chilling and awe-inspiring scenes, the mages on the fortress appeared incredibly small.

But at this point, no one flinched, no one retreated.

A high-ranking mage stood up and shouted, "Brothers, our homeland is behind us, and monsters are in front of us. There is no way back, only victory!"

Another high-ranking mage shouted, "Let these beasts tremble under our magic!"

Immediately afterwards, the star charts on the city wall lit up in various colors, and countless spells were unleashed at the charging pack of Gale Wolves.

Feng Tianxiao and Zhang Tianci looked at the military mages casting spells, exchanged a glance, and burst out laughing.

"Old Zhang, shouldn't we do something too?"

"Yes, Old Feng. Magic will eventually run out, but magical beasts seem to be endless."

"us……"

"To catch the thief, first catch the king."

"Haha, you really do understand me best."

"So……"

"Let's join hands and fight again."

Wings of wind began to appear behind the two old men.

Then, they leaped off the city wall, flapping their wings, and rushed quickly toward the Storm Dragon Wolves.

"All military mages, attack freely. I am proud to have you brothers." Zhang Tianci's voice came from afar.

"Boss."

"headmaster."

The military mages and students watched the two figures rushing towards the Storm Dragon Wolf and let out a mournful cry.

As the two figures flew through the air, the Storm Dragon Wolf narrowed its blood-red eyes slightly and exhaled a stream of cyan energy.

It stood up, shook its blue-black fur, and suddenly a pair of wings unfolded on its back.

Then, it flew towards the two figures in the air.

...

On the highway leading from the Warcraft Forest to N County, the bus had been traveling for almost an hour, and the fortress had long been left far behind.

The atmosphere on the bus was very oppressive, and no one wanted to talk.

Lu Shi sat silently, while simultaneously shifting the weight of her soul.

We will face many unknown difficulties ahead, so it is most important to prepare in advance and improve our capabilities.

Over the course of an hour, Lu Shi intermittently converted 40G of soul weight.

Current remaining soul weight: 240G

[Current remaining unabsorbed soul weight: 421G]

[Current remaining monster soul weight: 284G]

...

Whispers kept urging Lu Shi to commit crimes, making her want to go crazy.

Lu Shi forced herself to endure, her body trembling slightly, sweat streaming down her forehead. She stubbornly believed that perhaps only this kind of torment could spare her the thought of what was happening on the other side of the fortress, and what the remaining military mages would be going through.

"Teacher Lu." Zhou Rui reached out to touch Lu Shi's forehead.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle.

An electric current flowed through Lu Shi's body, and Zhou Rui was shocked the moment her hand touched Lu Shi.

ah!

Zhou Rui trembled uncontrollably and let out a scream.

Her scream startled Lu Shi awake, and she quickly cast a mental purification spell on herself. Then, she swiftly helped Zhou Rui up and cast a healing spell on her. Only after confirming that Zhou Rui was alright did she feel relieved.

Their actions drew the attention of everyone on the bus.

Lu Shi's domineering lightning made everyone afraid to say anything.

Sitting in the last row, Zhang Qinglan secretly watched Lu Shi electrocute someone. She thought to herself again, "She really is a lightning witch; she shocks people without warning. Staying away is definitely the wise thing to do."

Zhou Rui slowly woke up and saw Lu Shi looking at her with concern. She immediately apologized, "Teacher Lu, I'm sorry. I thought you were not feeling well because you were sweating so much. I didn't expect your protective magic artifact to be so powerful."

"Silly girl," Lu Shi said, patting Zhou Rui's head.

"Look, everyone, look!"

Suddenly, a student pointed to the sky outside the car window and shouted.

Everyone immediately turned to look, and Lu Shi also looked over curiously.

A group of military mages with wings of light sprouting from their backs flew through the air.

With her sharp eyes, Lu Shi immediately recognized that the one leading the flight at the very front was Zhang Junshang.

Even after not seeing him for many days, his posture remained as upright as ever.

"That's the N County Air Force."

"The one leading the way is Commander Zhang!"

"The place they were heading to seemed to be a fortress."

"They're going to support the fortress, aren't they?"

"The fortress is saved."

The students on the bus were talking excitedly, and some girls even cried tears of joy.

Lu Shi remained calm. Of this number of people, there were only about ten high-level mages, and the rest were mid-level mages who relied on magical artifacts to fly. These hundred or so people were just there to provide support.

It's more like they're delivering food to Warcraft.

However, Lu Shi couldn't stop it and could only let nature take its course.

Hopefully, Zhang Junshang can turn the tide.

The minor incidents encountered on the road did not affect the bus's progress.

Half an hour later, as the bus was about to exit the highway and enter the station at the intersection of N County, an astonishing scene unfolded.

"Warcraft, it's Warcraft!"

A student screamed.

Looking out the car window, Lu Shi saw a Tier 2 Golden Stone Bear tearing apart a corpse on the ground. Beside it lay two more corpses that were no longer human.

The barrier that had been blocking the road was forced open by the immense force and lay askew to one side.

"How can there be a Tier 2 magical beast here?" a student asked unwillingly.

"Stop talking nonsense! It's just a Tier 2 magical beast. Get off the bus and kill it." Huang Shixuan glanced disdainfully at the Class 3 students who were speaking, then pulled Bai Qinya and led the Class 1 students off the bus toward the Golden Stone Bear.

Lu Shi let the students of Class 3 sit down on the bus, and then got off the bus herself.

They ignored the students from Class 1 who went to fight the Golden Stone Bear.

Her wind trails flashed, and she flew directly to the top of the tall building next to the crossing.

This is the highest point in N County. Standing at the top of the building, you can have a panoramic view of the entire N County.

The rising sun illuminated the earth and the entire N County.

Lu Shi squinted as she gazed at the scene before her in N County…
