A sudden chill swept through the air, and the low shrubs around rustled with a haunting sound, resembling mournful wails, as if they were paying tribute to Ye Yu and his companions.
Ye Yu's muscles tensed up instantly. Although he had never fought a real Sand Wolf at Arrow Camp, he had simulated battles against these beasts and felt no fear whatsoever.
At the moment the Head Wolf leaped, Ye Yu sprang into action. The wind howled as he charged directly at the Head Wolf with a tearing force.
The principle of "capture the leader first" is a fundamental rule of warfare, and Ye Yu immediately spotted the Head Wolf, determined not to let it escape. Now that Ye Yu had advanced to the Third Stage of his martial arts, he was capable of exerting several hundred kilograms of force without any issue. Even in his current state, which was less than optimal, he felt no trepidation facing a seemingly emaciated Sand Wolf.
Before the echoes of the wolf howls faded, Ye Yu had already reached the Head Wolf! The Head Wolf reacted quickly; upon seeing Ye Yu appear before it in an instant, it bizarrely twisted its body to evade Ye Yu's punch. Then, with a sudden movement, it darted to Ye Yu's side!
With a sharp exhale, Ye Yu pushed off the ground with his feet, halting his momentum instantly. However, he did not pause for even a moment. He swiftly pivoted on his right foot, bending his knee slightly and using his waist's strength to accelerate toward the Head Wolf once more.
The Head Wolf sensed an overwhelming killing intent, causing its coarse fur to stand on end! It had faced death countless times in its life, but this time it felt closer to it than ever before!
Ye Yu caught a glimpse of that killing intent; the Sand Wolf had just forced itself to change direction mid-stride. Its old strength was spent while new strength had yet to be summoned—this was Ye Yu's perfect opportunity to strike.
In the next moment, without any surprise, a figure shot forward and crashed into a nearby thicket with a faint wolf howl trailing behind. It was Ye Yu delivering a powerful punch that struck the Sand Wolf squarely in the midsection. The force of that punch would have shattered even a creature made of iron and bronze!
"Roar—"
Seeing their Head Wolf fall instantly lifeless, the pack of wolves collectively raised their heads and howled in mourning as if bidding farewell to their fallen leader. Yet after their lamentation, these Sand Wolves showed no intention of retreating!
The battle resumed fiercely; these Sand Wolves were simply too hungry. If humanity had not chosen to deliberately forget about them, they would have long ceased to exist. Of course, they rarely had opportunities to prey on humans like their ancestors did! In such an environment, they were often starving and would not miss any chance for a hunt!
These individuals were all Martial Arts Practitioners. Even that young girl, when she put forth her full effort, could easily evade the attacks of the Sand Wolves. However, she was still just a girl, with almost no combat experience. Most of the time, she hid behind Major Bai, timidly watching the adults fight. Whenever she caught sight of something bloody, she quickly shut her eyes in fear.
The Sand Wolves could never have imagined that the prey they had finally encountered would be so formidable. After just a few exchanges, several Sand Wolves had already fallen. Meanwhile, the humans seemed to have suffered no injuries at all.
Particularly notable was an elderly man who appeared to be on the verge of death; his movements were as swift as a ghost. With each strike, a Sand Wolf met its end beneath his wooden staff.
Suddenly, a mournful howl erupted from within the pack of wolves, piercing and sorrowful, reminiscent of a Cuckoo's lament, filled with tragic desolation.
After the howl, the Sand Wolves showed no hesitation and immediately turned to flee, disappearing into the vast desert in mere moments.
"Cough cough cough—" Suddenly, in the now quiet oasis, a violent coughing fit broke out as if trying to expel all discomfort from deep within the lungs, causing those nearby to feel an overwhelming sense of oppression.
"Sir, are you alright?" Ye Yu exclaimed in alarm. In a flash, she appeared before the Nameless Old Man, her eyes filled with concern.
The Nameless Old Man glanced at Ye Yu, a hint of gratitude flickering in his deep-set eyes. "It's nothing; I just need to rest," he replied before bending down to sit.
"If you want to rest, it’s best to do so in the original place!"
At that moment, an abrupt voice rang out in everyone’s ears. They instinctively shielded their eyes as the morning sun finally emerged, its dazzling rays piercing directly into their vision.
Beneath the rising sun stood four massive mechs that loomed like mountains. Bathed in golden sunlight, they appeared as if enveloped in a layer of divine light, exuding an extraordinary presence.
Ye Yu's gaze narrowed; she realized that their new opponents had arrived and were far more powerful than those they had faced before. She recognized these four mechs—they were the Type 9 mechs she had piloted previously and seemed to have been upgraded. The four mechs stood dark and imposing like black mountains, blocking their path forward.
"I want to find a more comfortable place to rest this time!"
The old man, who had previously appeared somewhat lethargic, suddenly straightened his back. The cold indifference that had marked his expression was replaced by a fierce anger. Anger could awaken a person's potential, and for the Nameless Old Man, it was a means to wash away his shame. In an instant, his figure vanished as if he had never been there at all.
Ye Yu felt a powerful force, an indescribable strength that made him feel powerless despite his Third Stage martial arts level. Under that overwhelming energy, he was struck by a sense of helplessness.
"I can't help you just yet, but when I opened your mech last time, I learned that this model can only be piloted by someone who has received certification. Right now, try to seize a mech, and I'll help you gain piloting rights!"
At that moment, Jin Shan, who rarely acknowledged Ye Yu, suddenly spoke up. Yet he remained as elusive as ever; Ye Yu couldn't tell how he managed to whisper in his ear.
"Take care of yourselves!" Upon hearing Jin Shan's voice, Ye Yu's expression shifted slightly. After exchanging a glance with Major Bai and the others, he transformed into a blur and dashed toward the nearby mechs!
An invisible wave spread out with Ye Yu's movement! As he felt the wonderful sensation brought by his Mental Power, warmth spread through his heart. Then he raised an eyebrow; it seemed that the intensity of his Psychic Power had increased slightly!
