Looking towards the source of the sound, the people in the car saw several gray wolves that had appeared behind them at some unknown time.
Pairs of greedy eyes stared at them, glowing green in the moonlight, making them look especially terrifying.
"What is this thing?!"
Liu Tianhao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"A pack of gray wolves!"
Yang Lin's pupils contracted, his tone filled with deep shock.
"How could a pack of gray wolves appear in the Scorching Sun Forest? Aren't these creatures only found in plains areas?!"
Du Pengyi's expression changed drastically, his face filled with deep fear.
"So what if there's a pack of gray wolves? It's just a few more wolves. Watch me go down and slaughter these beasts!"
Liu Tianhao didn't take it seriously and was about to get out of the car to fight the Gray Wolf pack, but Zhou Cheng stopped him.
"Don't underestimate the gray wolf just because it's only a mid-level demonic beast. You might be able to kill a gray wolf easily, but now we're facing a pack of gray wolves. Compared to a lone wolf, the combat power of a pack of gray wolves is more than double!"
Yang Lin nodded in strong agreement.
"That's right! It's difficult for the five of us to fight them alone, so we must be careful and run if we can!"
"Unfortunately, we probably can't escape now."
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, several gray wolves appeared from all four directions around the SUV.
"Oh no! We're surrounded!"
Seeing the gray wolves suddenly appear around him, Du Pengyi had no choice but to step on the brakes.
The SUV was forced to stop in the open woods. The moon was blocked by dark clouds, and it was pitch black all around. Only the glowing green eyes of the gray wolves were flashing.
Du Pengyi turned on all the car lights, but the light did not bring a sense of security to the group; instead, it made them realize how serious the situation was.
"...There are actually twenty gray wolves in total! Even if the four of us split them equally, each of us will have to deal with at least five at a time!"
Zhou Cheng's face was gloomy and extremely ugly.
If he hadn't gone on several missions with the team before and survived a few near-death experiences, he probably wouldn't be able to stand up now.
"What are you afraid of? These gray wolves are only around the eighth level of the Profound Truth Realm. Even the few strong ones are only at the Earth Spirit level. As long as we cooperate well, these beasts will definitely be no match for us!"
Liu Tianhao still maintained his nonchalant attitude.
In his view, a group of demonic beasts that had just reached the Earth Spirit level were nothing to fear.
"We're completely surrounded right now, and we have no other option but to find a way to break out!"
After looking around, Yang Lin pointed to the two o'clock position ahead and spoke.
"There are the fewest gray wolves in that location, and judging from their aura, only two have reached the third level of Earth Spirit, while the rest are at the Profound True level. Their attack power is relatively low, so we'll break through from there!"
As expected of the captain of the third squad of the Divine Beast Pavilion's armed forces, Yang Lin quickly found a way to break through.
And at this time.
The gray wolf pack gradually became restless, slowly approaching the off-road vehicle and cautiously probing it.
Yang Lin had clearly noticed this as well, and after a brief explanation, he immediately began distributing tasks.
"Acheng and Haozi, you two are in charge of the three Xuanzhen-level horses. As for the remaining two Diling-level three horses, Lao Du and I will each take one."
"Is everything alright?"
Du Pengyi and the other two nodded vigorously.
"no problem!"
"Remember, you must finish this as quickly as possible. If the gray wolves surround us again, we might very well be done for tonight!"
After giving his final words of advice, Yang Lin turned to look at Lu Yuan.
"Mr. Lu, please stay in the car for now and prioritize your own safety. Just provide assistance to us as needed!"
Lu Yuan nodded.
After assigning their respective tasks, Yang Lin gave Du Pengyi a wink.
Immediately afterwards, Du Pengyi slammed on the gas pedal, and the SUV shot off at high speed!
"Now!"
Yang Lin shouted and jumped out of the car first, bumping head-on into a group of gray wolves that had just run over.
Without hesitation or pause, he swiftly brought down his knife, and in the blink of an eye, the gray wolf was decapitated and completely dead.
The other three then jumped off the vehicle and, according to plan, released their summoned beasts, all striving to end the battle as quickly as possible, holding nothing back and unleashing the most decisive killing moves.
Lu Yuan leaned against the car and summoned Xiao Yi.
"Little Yi, use Angelic Hymn and Radiant Aura simultaneously!"
"Eee!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's command, Xiao Yi immediately unleashed her skills on Yang Lin and the other three.
Liu Tianhao was commanding his beast tamer to fight a gray wolf at the eighth level of the Xuanzhen realm when he suddenly felt a warm light envelop him and his beast tamer, which invigorated him.
While he was still in a daze, the gray wolf suddenly pounced on him.
Liu Tianhao was startled and immediately shouted at his beast while rolling to the side.
The gray wolf's sharp claws stopped less than thirty centimeters from his ear.
He was just a hair's breadth away from dying.
Slightly disheveled, Liu Tianhao got up from the ground and looked down at his hands.
"What just happened? Am I really that fast?!"
The words had barely left his mouth.
Then there was a loud "bang".
The gray wolf was violently rammed by his tamed beast, which even broke two trees in the process.
"this……"
Seeing this scene before him, Liu Tianhao was even more shocked.
His beast-taming level was the lowest in the team, only at the second level of Earth Spirit. Whether in terms of speed or strength, he was at the bottom of the team.
Just now, Gray Wolf launched a full-force attack when he wasn't paying attention, and in theory, he shouldn't have been able to dodge it.
But now he not only dodged it, his tamed beast even sent the gray wolf flying so far!
Is he dreaming?
Could it be that his fighting talent was unleashed at the moment of his death, causing his strength to increase by leaps and bounds?
"What are you standing there for? Get in the car and let's get out of here!"
Just then.
Behind him, Lu Yuan drove up in an SUV, grabbed him and pulled him into the car, then drove towards Zhou Cheng and the others.
Lu Yuan was very skilled at driving.
He swerved the steering wheel left and right, dodging the gray wolves that rushed up from behind, while also pulling the other three out one by one.
"Sit still!"
After Yang Lin finally got into the car, Lu Yuan pressed the accelerator hard, and the SUV sped off instantly.
Despite the relatively bulky SUV, Lu Yuan managed to drive it like a sports car.
Angry wolf howls echoed from behind, and Yang Lin and the others dared not let their guard down. They immediately commanded their respective beasts to intercept and block the carriage from behind.
With perfect teamwork, the two sides drove for nearly ten minutes before barely managing to shake off the gray wolves.
"Phew! I've finally shaken them off!"
Zhou Cheng wiped the sweat from his brow and let out a long sigh of relief.
Yang Lin and the others beside him also looked like they had just survived a disaster, but Lu Yuan kept his brows furrowed, and for some reason, he felt increasingly uneasy.
Suddenly.
His eyes widened suddenly, and he roared.
"Jump out of the car!"
