Chapter 35: Battle.

After doing all this, Mo Xiu pulled up her backpack and walked out of the pharmacy.

Just as he had expected, no one from the team came looking for him in the area. They were probably still where the vehicle had been parked, searching for supplies bit by bit.

It will probably take a long time to reach this edge of the region.

Because of the array inside the backpack, it was still very light even with so many medicines inside. Thinking that Mo Qi had done all of this for him, Mo Xiu felt a warmth in his heart.

But now is not the time to think about these things; he has more important things to do.

Looking around, Mo Xiu quickly recalled the location where she had seen the mutated gray wolf before, and then ran towards the forest.

With the aid of wind-based superpowers, he is much faster than ordinary people.

This was an experience he had gained during his many years on the run in his previous life. At first, like most wind-type ability users, he simply used wind to move things or send out wind blades.

It was only during one of his escape attempts that he discovered he could use his wind-based abilities to speed up his escape.

So Mo Xiu reached the edge of the forest in very little time.

At this hour, while it was still broad daylight, the dense trees made the forest appear somewhat dim. The woods were very quiet. Mo Xiu strode in, carefully observing her surroundings.

He was slightly worried, though, since he had encountered this mutated gray wolf in his previous life at a time that was more than half a year later.

If that gray wolf only started roaming this area later, then I'm afraid I've made a wasted trip today.

Fortunately, fate was kind to him. Mo Xiu found that his luck was really good after his rebirth. Because of his excellent eyesight, he quickly found some gray wolf fur on the ground.

This at least proves that gray wolves are indeed active in this area, which gives him a lot more hope.

Thinking of this, Mo Xiu quickened her pace.

The mutated gray wolf appeared because it was the strongest creature in the forest.

It's likely that the other party had eaten almost all the edible animals in the forest before leaving to forage for food. Thus, they intercepted Mo Xiu's group.

Therefore, Mo Xiu is not afraid of making any noise when she moves around in this forest.

He knew very well that in the eyes of the mutated gray wolf, a human appearance was nothing more than food.

If the gray wolf discovers my presence, it might show itself and attack. That way, I won't have to spend time searching for it.

Following the trail of the gray wolf and observing the fur and footprints it left behind, Mo Xiu felt that she was now getting closer to the wolf's main territory.

On another occasion, as he looked down to examine the footprints on the ground to see if they belonged to a canine, he suddenly heard a noise behind him.

Without hesitation, Mo Xiu quickly crouched down. Then he saw a dark figure pounce from behind him, leaping over him as he crouched.

The other party turned around, and Mo Xiu looked closely. It was none other than the mutated gray wolf that she had been searching for.

The mutated gray wolf is several times larger than a normal wolf, almost the size of an adult tiger. Its claws and teeth are sharper, and its eyes are blood red, making it look extremely ferocious and difficult to deal with.

The other person was baring their teeth and staring at him with a fierce expression, clearly regarding the human opposite them as their prey.

Mo Xiu's heart tightened upon seeing this. If he hadn't noticed the movement behind him and had remained standing there, he would have definitely been pounced on by the wolf.

However, with years of combat experience, Mo Xiu was much calmer this time when facing the gray wolf.

He quickly threw several lightning balls at the wolf, and as expected, the wolf dodged them all. So Mo Xiu then unleashed his wind blades, combining them with his lightning-based abilities, aiming for the wolf's neck.

However, the mutated gray wolf opposite him was of a high level and agile. Upon discovering that the human opposite him possessed abilities he had never seen before, he immediately became more vigilant.

Although he couldn't completely avoid Mo Xiu's attack, he did manage to dodge a vital blow.

The wolf still managed to hit the lightning ball on its lower back, but it was just that the lightning was thick-skinned.

Its tough, armor-like fur was so effective that even the lightning ball, which could incinerate zombies, couldn't do much to it, only slightly burning its skin.

Seeing this, Mo Xiu frowned. It seemed that his current level was still not high enough, and this guy was really not easy to deal with.

Realizing this, the young man quickly adjusted his attack.

He began to compress his lightning ball, concentrating all his lightning-based abilities into an area roughly the size of a ping-pong ball, and then, in conjunction with his wind-based abilities, launched it swiftly towards the gray wolf.

Sure enough, although the smaller lightning ball had a smaller attack area, it was more powerful. When it struck the gray wolf again, it instantly pierced the wolf's skin, causing the wolf to let out a painful howl.

However, that was not Mo Xiu's goal. Every time he launched a lightning ball, he locked onto the target: the gray wolf's neck.

Even if only one out of ten attempts succeeds, Mo Xiu desperately attacked that area of ​​skin while trying her best to dodge the opponent's attacks.

Clearly, the pain from its injury made the mutated gray wolf even more ferocious. Even with the wind-based ability to increase her speed, Mo Xiu could still sense it and found it difficult to dodge.

The wounds on his neck multiplied, staining his gray fur crimson. The gray wolf's expression grew increasingly ferocious; he let out angry howls and roars, and pounced fiercely towards where Mo Xiu was.

Mo Xiu couldn't dodge in time. Just as the claw was about to strike his shoulder, a strong dark aura suddenly erupted from his body, enveloping him and sending the gray wolf that was attacking him flying.

The burning sensation of the talisman turning to ash emanated from his pocket, and Mo Xiu knew that it was the protective talisman that Mo Qi had made for him that had just protected him.

Even when the other person is not by his side, he still protects him in this way.

A strong sense of warmth and excitement welled up inside her, and Mo Xiu's eyes shone with an astonishing light.

He stared straight at the gray wolf opposite him, who had struggled to get up and was now roaring and running towards him again. He slowly gathered his lightning and wind powers in his hands.

The two superpowers were simultaneously compressed in his hands, and then, just before the gray wolf arrived, he hurled them violently at the wolf's neck.

The wound on the mutated gray wolf's neck was instantly ripped open, and warm blood gushed out. Combined with the wolf's ferocious face and sharp teeth, it looked incredibly bloody and terrifying.

The gray wolf seemed to know that such a wound would be fatal to it. So it didn't stop there; instead, it concentrated all its strength and, with a suicidal intent, chose to continue attacking Mo Xiu.

The amulet in his pocket was actually more than one; Mo Qi drew some more for him later.

However, there was only one talisman drawn with blood, which had just been used to defend against the attack of the mutated gray wolf.

Mo Qi originally wanted to prepare more for him, but Mo Xiu refused. He couldn't bear Mo Qi drawing talismans by harming himself, so he stopped him.

Therefore, Mo Qi had no choice but to use an ordinary pen to outline the lines of the talismans in the following works.

As a result, the effectiveness of these talismans was significantly reduced compared to the previous one.

Seeing that she might not be able to dodge this attack again, Mo Xiu remained relatively calm.

Fortunately, I haven't been injured so far. Even if I can't escape in the end, the remaining talismans can still provide some protection.

It's better than being half-dead in my past life and almost dying together with the other person.

Just as Mo Xiu was anticipating the pain of the claws piercing his shoulder, a person suddenly appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

Then the mysterious light seen when the talisman erupted reappeared, directly blasting the attacking gray wolf away once again.

This time, the mutated gray wolf was launched even further than before, crashing directly into a very thick tree before sliding to the ground and losing its breath.

Mo Xiu snapped out of her daze, quickly stepped forward, grabbed the person in front of her by the shoulder, and pulled him closer. In doing so, she finally saw the face of the person who had been facing away from her – it was indeed Mo Qi!

"How could it be you? How did you suddenly appear? Do you know how dangerous that was just now?!"

As Mo Xiu spoke, he noticed the wolf's claw marks on the man's shoulder, with blood dripping down. He immediately tensed up.

"You're injured!" Mo Xiu said anxiously.

Mo Qi blinked upon hearing this. Ever since Mo Xiu came out, Mo Qi had been observing her with her divine sense, wary of any potential dangers that might appear around her.

So naturally, they knew that the other party had deliberately come to this deserted forest.

He just didn't know that Mo Xiu's purpose in coming was to find this mutated gray wolf, so when the wolf appeared, Mo Qi wasn't worried at first.

Because he knew Mo Xiu's strength, and the other party also had wind-type abilities that could accelerate, and at the very least, he had prepared a lot of talismans for him.

It was too easy for him to escape after a feint; he never expected that Mo Xiu would stay and fight this gray wolf head-on.

So when Mo Qi realized that Mo Xiu had blocked the gray wolf's attack with the blood-drawn talisman, and that Mo Xiu still hadn't left, Mo Qi's heart jumped into his throat.

After observing with his divine sense that the mutated beast seemed to want to perish together with him, Mo Qi immediately used the talisman he had just developed for teleportation to arrive at Mo Xiu's side.

Unfortunately, his body was still a bit slow to react. Before he could unleash an attack spell on the wolf, he was hit on the shoulder first.

Fortunately, I was in a good position. I turned to the side and although my shoulder was scratched by the wolf's claws, it was only a superficial injury.

Mo Qi initially wanted to comfort Mo Xiu, telling her that she was alright. But just as she was about to speak, she realized that the other seemed to be angry, so she immediately changed her tune and put on a pitiful expression, saying aggrievedly, "Mo Xiu, it hurts..."
