"It's alright, I'm not afraid of group attacks." Jian Ning wasn't exaggerating; her swordsmanship was best suited for group attacks.
Before the wolves could launch their attack, she charged forward with the Ruoshui Sword in hand.
At such close range, they were almost upon each other in the blink of an eye. The Ruoshui Sword transformed into thousands of sharp sword beams, carrying an indomitable momentum as it rushed straight towards the alpha wolf.
Of course, it wasn't just taking care of it; the henchmen around it also felt the power of the swordsmanship without discrimination.
The alpha wolf narrowed its eyes, not expecting this two-legged beast to be so powerful. However, it was no pushover either, and a huge fireball flew out of its mouth, heading straight for Jian Ning.
It was very fast and completely ignored Jian Ning's sword.
It turns out it was actually a capable wolf.
Jian Ning dared not confront the fireball head-on, but Xiao Wuyu was right behind her, so she couldn't dodge. She could only retract the sword she hadn't fully unleashed and create a sword shield in front of her for protection.
The burning fireball met the sword and shield, producing a piercing hissing sound.
The fire was extinguished after a long time. The alpha wolf roared and charged forward. Jian Ning also rushed forward with her sword in hand, and the two of them began to fight.
Xiao Wuyu, who was standing nearby, was not idle either. Most of the remaining wolf henchmen were killed or injured under his flying sword attacks.
Those who didn't die were mostly wounded, and the ground was covered in blood.
At that moment, Jian Ning also stabbed the wolf king in the neck with her sword. The force was immense, almost severing its head on the spot. The wolf king let out a miserable howl and retreated rapidly.
How could it get away? Jian Ning quickly chased after it and delivered another blow at the same spot.
The wolf king's head fell off, rolled a few times on the ground, and disappeared into the thick fog. Seeing their king dead, the remaining wolves saw no point in fighting and immediately scattered, fleeing for their lives.
"Miss Jian's swordsmanship is quite good. The wolf king's fur is exceptionally tough, comparable to top-grade armor. Your sword was able to kill it, so it must be no ordinary weapon."
Xiao Wuyu couldn't see what the Ruoshui Sword looked like from behind, but just by its sharpness, he already knew it was a rare and excellent sword.
"Brother Xiao is right. This sword has been with me for many years. It was given to me by my master back then!"
Jian Ning held the Ruoshui Sword and sighed, wondering if her master would ever think of her lazy disciple.
It's also possible that they thought she failed in her tribulation and died, and had long forgotten about her.
He glanced back at the alpha wolf's corpse. Although it was headless, its pelt was still a valuable item. He took his sword, went over, and without saying a word, began skinning it.
Her technique was very skillful; in just five or six minutes, she had peeled off the entire wolf skin and put it into her storage bracelet.
Some of the wolf carcasses were blocking the road ahead, so she moved a few aside and pushed Xiao Wuyu through.
"I don't think the beasts here are that powerful. How come you were so badly injured last time? What bit you?" Jian Ning asked, somewhat puzzled.
Unable to figure it out, I simply asked directly.
"To my shame, the appearance of wild beasts here is completely unpredictable. Last time I encountered a group of extremely fast silver cheetahs."
It possesses innate stealth abilities, an astonishing bite force, and fire-based attack spells.
I was infected with malaria at the time, so there was no way I could have gotten away with it.
"I'm incredibly lucky to have survived until you arrived. I also owe a debt to Big White; it sensed my injury and rushed in to save me. Normally, it would never venture into this fog alone."
"Big White is indeed a good helper. We've already gone quite deep into the area, so why is there no movement now? Are you afraid that because the two of us are so capable, these ferocious beasts won't dare to come out?"
Jian Ning's words had a hint of a joke. She was trying to lighten the mood; both of them were a bit tense. The smell of blood from earlier was too strong.
There will definitely be a lot of wild beasts coming by following the scent. Hopefully, there won't be too many, otherwise we might not be able to hold them off.
Just as Jian Ning thought this, clusters of black things appeared before her eyes, looking almost like mist, their bodies shrouded in black aura.
However, it is blackish-gray in color and has two small green eyes on it.
They were densely packed, floating in mid-air. Luckily, she didn't have trypophobia, otherwise she would definitely be too scared to look at them right now.
"What is this? I've never seen it before." Jian Ning pulled the wheelchair to a stop.
They cautiously observed the thing nearby, whose eyes were flashing incessantly and whose numbers were constantly increasing.
It was indeed quite frightening. The unknown is what makes people fearful. If she went straight in, she wondered if she would be annihilated by them. There were just too many of them. Compared to the swarm of bees from before, this group was far fewer.
"These are mist beasts, formed from the condensation of mist here over the years. I can't say for sure what kind they are."
However, because they don't need to reproduce, they reproduce very quickly; I haven't encountered one in decades. They rarely come out normally; I guess they were attracted by the smell of blood this time.
Be careful, they have no physical form. They are not afraid of fire and have the ability to explode. They also have the ability to combine, changing form at any time, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
After listening to Xiao Wuyu's words, Jian Ning became much more cautious. This creature without a physical form was indeed difficult to kill. She tentatively unleashed a sword strike, which cleaved the mist beast in two.
Then the black mist writhed rapidly, and the two halves of the mist merged back into the black sphere beside it. Not only did it grow larger, but three eyes appeared on the black sphere. This was too bizarre.
He stared intently at Jian Ning and actually saw mockery and disdain for her in her eyes.
This mist beast actually has its own consciousness. I don't know if it's just this one, or if all of them have developed self-awareness. If that's the case, then it's going to be troublesome.
But Jian Ning had no choice but to charge forward, brandishing her sword. She unleashed a series of sword techniques in an instant: swords moving at will, swords piercing the willow branches, swords returning to one…
Unexpectedly, these mist beasts advanced instead of retreating, roaring as they charged towards the fierce sword light. The moment the two made contact, the mist was rapidly sliced into countless tiny streams by the sword light.
Immediately afterwards, the scattered mist twisted and wriggled rapidly.
In just a few breaths, it coalesced once more into the form of a group of tigers, lifelike, though their entire bodies were black, giving them a particularly sinister look. With their mouths wide open, they roared silently at Jian Ning.
