"Besides these, there are some secondary forces and hidden strong ones. Once you enter the Killing Fields, you'll know more; I won't elaborate further." Wang Zeng paused, sizing up Wang Yi and said, "I see that you have an extraordinary demeanor. May I ask where you are from? It is quite dangerous for you to travel alone to the Killing Fields!"
"I originally had dozens of companions, but who would have thought we encountered a Sandstorm midway, and it was you, Lord Wang, who saved me," Wang Yi feigned sadness.
"Young Master Wang, you are alone, but you can travel with me, Wang Zeng. You need not worry; I will ensure your safe arrival at the Killing Fields," Wang Zeng said confidently, patting his chest.
Wang Yi nodded in gratitude.
"However, seeing Young Master Wang in this state, it seems this is not your first time going to the Killing Fields?" Wang Zeng muttered to himself. "If that's the case, I suggest you turn back. The Killing Fields is not a good place; many people have died there. Who knows? The next one to die could be us."
"I have my own plans; please do not worry, Lord Wang," Wang Yi replied.
"Well, I've said all I need to," Wang Zeng nodded and said to Wang Er, "The air is getting colder; go bring Young Master Wang a jug of wine."
After a while, Wang Er brought a jug of wine. Wang Yi took it and drank a mouthful, feeling much warmer.
At that moment, the ground suddenly shook, and dust flew up as if there was an earthquake.
Howl! Howl! Howl...
The night was suddenly filled with the howls of wolves, high-pitched and frenzied.
"This is bad; it's a wolf pack." Hearing the howls, Wang Zeng's expression changed slightly as he shouted, "Captain Liu, prepare for defense immediately."
On the other side of the convoy, Captain Liu called out loudly. Everyone quickly formed a circle around the merchant caravan, raising torches to create a fiery Long Dragon to defend against the attacking wolves.
"Young Master Wang, remain calm. In this desert, I have encountered wolf packs countless times and have always passed through safely. Captain Liu is a warrior of the first level of the Mysterious Realm; he can easily handle these beasts. There is no need for concern," Wang Zeng waved his hand.
Howl! Howl! Howl!
The howling of wolves grew closer, and the ground trembled with increasing intensity.
Wang Yi's gaze flickered, and his body shot up from the ground. In the next moment, he was already on top of the vehicle frame, looking into the distance. In the dark night, he saw a ghostly green light flickering like green will-o'-the-wisps. The heavy panting of the wolves was thick and oppressive, pounding in everyone's hearts.
"Everyone stay calm. This pack of wolves consists only of Second-Grade Monsters, and the Wolf King is merely a Third-Grade Monster. Just defend yourselves well, and we will be safe," Captain Liu shouted. "Fire!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Everyone immediately released their arrows, the sound of arrows slicing through the air was incessant, followed by the thuds of impacts.
Awooo!
At that moment, an exceptionally loud wolf howl rang out, and the previously chaotic pack suddenly fell silent.
Three Silver Giant Wolves, each towering about ten feet tall, stepped out from behind the pack. Under the moonlight, they looked like a silver flame burning brightly.
"What? Three Wolf Kings?" Captain Liu's expression changed slightly, filled with confusion as he wondered how this pack could have three Wolf Kings.
Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!
The three Wolf Kings howled in unison, their cries sharp and piercing, echoing terrifyingly in the night.
Awooo! Awooo!
The wolf pack howled together and surged forward once more.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The crowd wildly wielded crossbows and spears, the sound of arrows piercing the air was relentless. The wolf at the front let out a whimper before being struck by several spears and dying.
"Kill!" Captain Liu shouted loudly, boosting everyone's morale.
Howl! Howl! Howl!
The three silver wolves emitted a faint green light from their pupils, terrifying and bloodthirsty. They leaped together, almost jumping over ten meters high, like three silver rainbows.
Ah! Ah! Ah! Three screams echoed as three warriors were instantly killed under the claws of the silver wolves.
The defense finally broke under the assault of the three silver wolves. The wolves surged into the crowd, causing panic as people fled in all directions. However, there were simply too many wolves; escape was impossible. From time to time, dozens fell victim to the wolves.
Captain Liu struggled to maintain the defense, but it was futile as the wolf pack had already charged into the merchant group.
"Lord Wang, hurry!" Captain Liu shouted as he stabbed a black wolf with his spear and rushed to Wang Zeng's side.
"My goods, my goods."
"It's over, it's all over." Wang Zeng collapsed to the ground, staring at everything before him.
"Captain Liu, protect Lord Wang. I'll deal with those three silver wolves. As long as the Wolf King is dead, the pack will disperse," Wang Yi declared loudly.
"You..." Captain Liu was taken aback and said, "Wang Yi, those three silver wolves are Third-Grade High-Level Demon Beasts, Bitter Toads. Even I wouldn't be a match for them; don't be reckless."
However, he soon realized that Wang Yi had already vanished from sight. In the darkness, a flash of green light appeared, followed by one of the silver wolves being split in two, turning into a shower of blood.
Howl! Howl! Howl!
Two silver wolves saw Wang Yi kill their companion, and their green eyes instantly filled with bloodlust. With a long howl, they pounced towards Wang Yi.
Wang Yi laughed heartily, swinging the Azure Flow Sword in his hand. The sword danced like flowing water, radiating light as it struck. With two soft sounds, the two silver wolves fell dead beneath his blade.
"What?"
The panicked crowd gasped at the scene before them. They could hardly believe that silver wolves, comparable to human Transcendent Realm Experts, had just died at Wang Yi's hands.
"Kill!" Captain Liu was momentarily stunned, not expecting Wang Yi to be so powerful, even surpassing him. However, being a Transcendent Realm Expert himself, he swung his spear with the force of sweeping an army, sending dozens of black wolves flying.
The morale of the crowd surged; they howled with excitement as they surrounded and attacked a single black wolf in groups of two or three.
"This... he is actually this strong?" Wang Zeng looked at Wang Yi in disbelief, frozen in place. He couldn't believe that the person he had shown kindness to, saving Eyesore, was so formidable.
At this moment, Wang Er was filled with regret, wishing he could slap himself. As a mere servant, he had dared to extort a peerless expert; what was he going to do now?
But none of this mattered to Wang Yi, as an even more terrifying wolf howl suddenly echoed across the vast desert.
The remaining wolf pack retreated in unison like a tide.
Then, a silver wolf over five meters tall appeared before everyone. No, this was not just a silver wolf; it had patches of golden fur growing on its coat that shimmered under the moonlight, shining brilliantly like sharp golden needles.
"Golden Wolf! Impossible! How can there be a Golden Wolf here?" Captain Liu exclaimed in shock, his eyes filled with fear as he took two steps back before finally stopping.
A Fourth-Level Monster, the Golden Wolf was comparable to a human Transcendent Realm Expert. Although Captain Liu was also a Profound Realm Warrior, he knew there was only death awaiting him under the Golden Wolf's might.
"No wonder this pack has three silver wolves; it turns out there is a Fourth-Level Golden Wolf King." Wang Yi looked at the towering and majestic Golden Wolf, his expression slightly changing. Although it was only an initial-stage Fourth-Level beast, demon beasts were inherently powerful. A newly entered Profound Realm Warrior would have no chance against the Golden Wolf King—only death awaited them.
"Fire, everyone raise your torches and see if we can drive it back," Captain Liu said urgently.
The crowd hurried to follow the order, but the Golden Wolf King remained motionless, its golden eyes coldly watching the humans before it, a hint of mockery evident in its gaze.
"Mockery? This is impossible; this Golden Wolf King has actually gained intelligence," Captain Liu could hardly believe that he saw derision in the eyes of a beast.
Wang Yi licked his cracked lips, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. This was a Golden Wolf King that had developed intelligence and had already formed a demon core within. If he killed it and absorbed the power of the demon core, he would surely be able to break through to the Xuanjing Second Layer.
For the merchant caravan, the Golden Wolf King was a disaster, but for Wang Yi, it was an opportunity—a chance to increase his strength.
With a clang, Wang Yi drew his Azure Flow Sword, leaping into the air and soaring ten meters high. He raised his sword high, transforming his body into a sharp arrow as he slashed down at the Golden Wolf King.
Whoosh!
The air was sliced apart like paper by the Azure Flow Sword, tearing through like mist in the rain as a sword aura over four meters long shot forth from the tip of the sword.
Slash!
Clang!
Suddenly, the Golden Wolf King's powerful hind legs kicked off, propelling its body more than ten meters away as it stared menacingly at Wang Yi who had landed on the ground.
It clearly sensed that among these humans, the one posing a threat and harboring killing intent was this very person before it.
"He actually drove back the Golden Wolf King?" Captain Liu exclaimed in disbelief.
"A strong one; he is truly a formidable warrior. I have really struck gold this time by saving this Young Master. If given time, he will surely become an existence like the Slaughtering Four Kings," Wang Zeng said joyfully upon seeing Wang Yi's incredible prowess. He was ecstatic, dancing with excitement. Saving a future peerless powerhouse was like making a long-term investment; in the future, when seeking his help, he would certainly not refuse.
Wang Zeng made up his mind that he must get along well with Wang Yi; even if they could not become friends, they could not become enemies either.
The Golden Wolf King roared angrily at Wang Yi. Its wolf body, over five meters tall, suddenly leaped forward, pouncing toward Wang Yi. The air was sliced apart like paper under the sharp claws of the wolf, producing a crisp sound. Wang Yi immediately felt a tremendous force surge through his arms. From a distance, the Golden Wolf King looked like a massive mountain pressing down on Wang Yi.
Wang Yi snorted coldly, pouring Vital Energy into his arms. With a loud boom, a rebound force shot out, causing the Golden Wolf King to howl in surprise, a hint of fear flashing in its blood-red eyes. It was important to note that the Fourth-Level Monster had developed some intelligence, equivalent to that of a one or two-year-old child, so the Golden Wolf King quickly used the recoil to retreat.
Whoosh!
Its claws left two deep scratches in the yellow sand, which stood out remarkably under the moonlight.
The Golden Wolf King stared intently at Wang Yi and suddenly let out a long howl. An Inaudible Sound Wave surged forth like a tide, stirring up clouds of yellow sand. The sound was sharp and piercing; low-level warriors had to cover their ears to avoid discomfort.
Awooo!
The wolf pack howled in unison and then surrounded Wang Yi under the Golden Wolf King's call, watching him with predatory eyes.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Amidst the howling of wolves, in the next moment, dozens of Evil Wolves surged toward Wang Yi, intent on tearing him apart.
Wang Yi looked at the swarm of Evil Wolves with a cold smile. He pushed his Vital Energy and Cui Gu to their peak state and struck out with both palms. With two loud sounds, two giant fiery hands instantly killed the attacking Evil Wolves.
