"ah!"
The piercing scream whimpered briefly before fading away, replaced by a soft chewing sound.
Beside the cart piled with firewood, a thief transporting dried meat lay in a pool of blood, attacked and killed by a shadow wolf that suddenly appeared from the shadows. Half of his neck was bitten off by the sharp wolf teeth, and he died completely.
But before anyone around could shout, a crossbow bolt pierced the thief's head, and then countless shadow wolves sprang up from the ground, charging fiercely at the terrified thief!
"Enemy attack!"
The blond giant roared, brandishing his broadsword as it unleashed magical energy, brewing a golden aura, his gaze fixed on the carriages on the outskirts of the village.
The subordinates over there were completely silent, which clearly meant something serious had happened!
But in his slightly astonished gaze, shadows floated on the ground, and waves of earth rolled. In the next instant, shadow wolves and coyotes attacked. Even the thieves who were on guard were torn apart by sharp claws like tender tofu and had their thighs pierced by earth spikes under this sudden attack, suffering heavy losses.
Damn it!
The blond giant unleashed several sword strikes, repelling the shadow wolf's attack. His pupils constricted as he realized that his opponent was actually a silver-rank demon!
Silver breaks through the limits of its power!
Could it be that...
Was it the arrival of the Winter's Calamity that caused the beast tide to erupt?!
They happened to run into this while plundering villages on the edge of the wasteland.
That's absolutely outrageous!
"Bang!"
Just as he was processing the situation and was about to retreat, attempting to escape alone, the wooden house behind him was blown open. A giant wolf, with its overwhelming explosive power, swept across the village, its claw piercing through the blond man's back armor. The heavy force exploded in the latter's back, spraying blood mist!
Under this terrifying blow, the blond giant was blasted away, but the giant wolf followed closely behind, its claws landing on his chest, shattering his breastplate. The immense force was like a dragon exploding, scattering a series of bone-breaking sounds, at least five ribs were broken!
If he hadn't reached the mid-stage of Silver rank and hadn't become more resilient, this attack would have crushed his heart and killed him instantly.
"Awoo~"
"I'll bite one to death! Anyone who dares to disrespect the Fox King must die!"
"The Fox King has arrived! You traitors shall all die!"
"I swear to grow radishes for the Fox King, even at the cost of my life!"
A giant wolf, biting a carrot, spewed out a sound without thinking, rising from a cart piled high with firewood, drawing disdain from its companions.
What a load of rubbish! The Fox King loves to eat meat, you know that?
They should be used to catch rabbits, sheep, fish, and shrimp for the Fox King; any piece of meat they could get was offered to him!
That's common sense!
"Smack!"
As the wolf pack's vanguard, in coordination with the wolf riders, finished off the bandit gang, most of the bandits were slaughtered by the wolves. Only a few surviving bandits managed to survive, and they were fiercely surrounded by a pack of wolves. Perhaps due to the fear instilled in them, the wolves' mouths were drooling, their mouths watering.
In the eyes of the wolf pack, these few thieves, deliberately left behind by their superiors, were nothing more than meat to be slaughtered.
"puff!"
The blond giant coughed up blood, his chest and back were injured to varying degrees, and his blood was flowing backward, almost killing him.
"Boss... Boss, what do we do...?"
"Wolves, so many wolves... Heh, I must be dreaming..."
"Damn wolf, my hand!"
The men standing around the blond giant trembled with unease, watching their comrades brutally murdered by the wolves, feeling a deep sense of despair and helplessness.
At this moment, how were they any different from the weak villagers?
Ironically, the bodies of the abused villagers lay in pools of blood, and within minutes, the Golden Thieves had met the same fate as the villagers.
"Smack!"
The wooden house exploded again, clearing a passage. Under the thieves' stunned gazes, a luxurious and imposing chariot was dragged over by a giant wolf. The magical runes engraved on it clearly showed that this was no simple beast tide!
Upon seeing this, the leader of the Golden Thieves, a blond man whom the thieves called "Boss," narrowed his eyes.
Wolves were actually domesticated by humans!
What kind of power could tame hundreds of demons that have reached the Silver Rank?
What's more, the other party is a proud wolf clan!
Before the bandit leader could think further, a giant wolf approached, carrying a man on its back. The man exuded a chilling aura and nodded slightly under the terrified gazes of the bandits.
Meanwhile, an elderly man, whose reserved demeanor made it impossible for even the bandit leader to discern his true nature, spoke softly and politely, lifting the curtain to let the important figure inside emerge.
In an instant, the blond giant felt as if a ball of flame had emerged from his chariot. His mouth was parched, his blood and qi were being evaporated, and his skin turned bright red.
"Um?"
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes, and once his bright red pupils activated their potential, two sun-like lights erupted with invisible crimson flames, evaporating the moisture from the opponent within a certain range.
If one intensifies their mental energy and burns from the inside out, their internal organs will be melted through, turning them into a fire person.
As for why we passed through this village, it's said that there are fat sheep that like to go clubbing here...
Well, the main reason is that Xiao Han followed the advice of a giant wolf and went to the home of a lord in the wasteland who specialized in raising sheep.
Sheep have many uses. Their wool can be used to make warm clothes, and fattened mutton can be used for hot pot and roasting. I imagine that lord is wearing a warm wool coat right now, biting into a tender roasted lamb leg, and looking at the sheep jumping around in the shed with a fatherly smile on his face.
However, robbery is considered the most despicable act by humans, and it is often disguised and legalized under a glamorous guise.
