'Son of a bitch, are you fucking trying to get killed?'
The muscles on Hong Yu's face twitched, and his eyelids trembled violently.
In the bushes behind him, pair after pair of eerie green lights burned like clusters of Ghost Fire. They floated and darted through the dense thicket, sending a chill to the bone.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
One after another, dark shadows shot out from the dense woods, landing on the scorched, flat ground.
These were ferocious Desolate Beasts—the Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves!
The Cyan-faced Ghost Wolf is a Tier Two Advanced Wild Beast. In terms of individual strength, a single Cyan-faced Ghost Wolf possesses combat power comparable to a Peak Earth Soul Realm Powerhouse.
But...
Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves were pack-hunting Desolate Beasts.
The appearance of a single Cyan-faced Ghost Wolf almost always ant there was at least one more pack of them within a kiloter.
It could even be several packs, or dozens of packs, forming a massive wolf pack.
Numbering from the dozens to the hundreds!
Right now, the number of Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves gradually surrounding him was no less than three hundred.
Three hundred Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves were equivalent to three hundred Peak Earth Soul Realm Powerhouses attacking him at once. The sheer visual impact alone was enough to pressure even a Celestial Soul Peak Powerhouse.
What's more, Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves often operated in two parts.
The ones at the front were equivalent to army Scouts, responsible for reconnaissance and detecting prey. The truly terrifying part was the follow-up force.
The number of wolves in the follow-up force was often five to ten tis that of the vanguard!
Against three hundred Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves, Hong Yu was confident he could retreat unscathed, or even win.
But if that number beca three thousand, charging in recklessly would be suicide.
'Damn it, I'd better get out of here!'
Frustrated, Hong Yu rubbed his nose. He kept his eyes locked on the Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves as he slowly backed away.
The three hundred-plus Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves watched Hong Yu with equal caution. When they saw him move slightly, they pressed forward in unison.
Hoo!
Stared at by several hundred Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves at once, even the usually carefree Huhu couldn't help but tremble. It hid behind Hong Yu, its two chubby paws gripping his pant leg tightly.
AWOOOO!
A Cyan-faced Ghost Wolf suddenly let out a piercing howl.
At the sa ti...
In a forest so ten-odd kiloters away, an even louder howl suddenly rang out, seemingly in response.
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!
The entire jungle began to shake.
Looking from afar, a massive cloud of dust billowed up from the forest ten-odd kiloters away, vast and mighty, soaring into the sky.
Judging by the scale, it was a scene that could only be caused by one or two thousand powerful Desolate Beasts moving at once.
"We have to go, now!"
Hong Yu snatched Huhu up, placed him on his shoulder, and activated the *Dragon Roaming* Body Technique, sprinting away at top speed.
The Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves were extrely cunning and cautious.
When Hong Yu stood still, they observed and monitored him, searching for a weakness.
If they couldn't find a weakness to attack, they would send a signal, calling in the main force to crush their opponent.
Now, seeing Hong Yu trying to escape, the three hundred Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves attacked simultaneously in an attempt to block his path.
AOW!
Six two-ter-long Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves leaped to block Hong Yu's path. They raised their paws, and claws as sharp as cold steel blades sprang from their sheaths like switchblades. It was as if six master swordsn were striking at Hong Yu at the sa ti.
Hong Yu's eyes narrowed. "Get lost!" he shouted coldly.
With a single palm strike!
BANG!
A heavy force descended from the sky, slamming down on the heads of the Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves.
The six Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves' heads exploded like waterlons, spraying crimson blood like fountains. It was a grueso sight.
Hooo...
Little Beast Huhu quickly lifted its furry paws to cover its jewel-like eyes.
But it peeked through a small gap between its fingers, wanting to look but not daring to. The sight left Hong Yu not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He gently tapped the Little Beast's head and said with a scolding laugh, "Stop acting cute. Hurry and find us a safe direction. We can't let those bastards box us in."
Huhu!
The Little Beast clutched its head, protesting with great dissatisfaction.
When Hong Yu ignored it, it drooped its head in resignation. Its black, jewel-like eyes darted around before it suddenly pointed north.
"This way? Alright, I'll trust you!"
After a mont's hesitation, Hong Yu set off, charging forward at his fastest speed.
AARROOO!
Just as Hong Yu was about to break into a full stride, he suddenly heard an enraged howl from behind.
The sound was like a clap of thunder, shaking everything in all directions.
Hong Yu shuddered. He whipped his head around, his face instantly paling. 'I feel like ten thousand alpacas are stampeding through my mind.'
In the dense forest, a wolf-shaped Desolate Beast, five ters tall and eight or nine ters long, covered entirely in cyan fur, was charging toward him.
Its pair of eerie green eyes glead with a grim and furious light.
Even from over ten kiloters away, it sent a chill down Hong Yu's spine. 'A Tier Three Peak Green-faced Ghost Wolf King? Dammit, that thing can challenge an Early-stage Primordial Core Realm expert. I have to run for my life...'
Hong Yu grabbed Huhu and, ignoring the Little Beast's sullen complaints and protests, bolted away at top speed.
Any Cyan-faced Ghost Wolf that blocked his path was easily slain.
Along the way, the number of Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves that had died by his hand reached the triple digits!
"Get out of my way!"
The Godslaying Spear swept out. A golden light, with unstoppable montum, tore through the bodies of ten Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves. Amidst the gore, Hong Yu fled with Huhu.
The whole way, he deliberately chose to flee through narrow and rugged ravines and crevices.
As a result, the enormous Green-faced Ghost Wolf King could only roar angrily from behind, unable to catch up to him for the ti being.
But...
The Green-faced Ghost Wolf King's power was simply too imnse!
While Hong Yu was delayed by killing ten Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves, the Wolf King finally caught up.
With a WHOOSH of rushing wind.
The Green-faced Ghost Wolf King leaped high over Hong Yu's head and landed in front of him.
As it landed, its four sharp claws dug into the ground, gouging out several scar-like fissures in the earth.
THUD! THUD!
The Green-faced Ghost Wolf King turned, its four paws thudding on the ground, and fixed its cold, sharp gaze on Hong Yu.
...
The corner of Hong Yu's eye twitched.
The Green-faced Ghost Wolf King's body was just too big. Its five-ter height alone made him feel like a tiny ant.
Hoo?
Seeing this, the Little Beast shrank back, the fur on its body standing on end. Then, with a complete lack of loyalty, it flickered and fled back into the space inside the Profound Celestial Tower.
...
Hong Yu cursed inwardly: 'So disloyal!'
He looked at the Wolf King before him with a miserable expression.
The beast also stared intently at Hong Yu with eyes as sharp as blades. Then, at a certain mont, it suddenly opened its cavernous mouth, and a foul stench erupted from it.
AWOOOO—
The Green-faced Ghost Wolf King's low growl unleashed a putrid gust of wind that rushed at him, as if a million piles of shit were being slapped across his face.
Hong Yu's face turned ashen as he held his breath.
The force of the wind distorted the muscles on his face, and he could barely keep his eyes open.
BOOM!
The Green-faced Ghost Wolf King suddenly took a step forward.
That single step was enough to bring it right in front of Hong Yu. It opened its massive jaws and lunged for his head.
'Fuck off!'
A chill ran through Hong Yu's heart. In that split second between life and death, his eyes snapped open. As his arm shot forward, the Godslaying Spear whistled through the air.
The strike was incredibly fast and completely unexpected.
Under normal circumstances, even with the Green-faced Ghost Wolf King's imnse power, it would have been impossible to dodge.
However...
This Green-faced Ghost Wolf King was far too cautious and cunning.
It had been on guard against Hong Yu the entire ti. A trace of disdainful coldness flashed in its eyes. The Green-faced Ghost Wolf King jerked its head aside, dodging the Godslaying Spear, and then whipped its head back violently.
BOOM!
Its head, as hard as a mountain peak and comparable to profound iron, slamd heavily into Hong Yu's body.
Hong Yu's body shuddered as he was sent flying.
Fortunately, his strength had greatly increased. Hong Yu quickly regained his balance in mid-air. With a flick of his arm, he drove the Godslaying Spear into the ground. A deafening SCREEECH echoed as it carved a grim trench in the earth, sending dirt and gravel flying.
Hong Yu finally managed to stabilize himself. With a series of evasive leaps, he imdiately put distance between himself and the Green-faced Ghost Wolf King.
Without a mont's pause, he took off, sprinting into the distance.
AWOOOO!
A cold glint flashed in the Green-faced Ghost Wolf King's eyes. Like a cat toying with a mouse, it let out a piercing howl.
AWOOOOOOO—
Howls rose and fell throughout the mountain forest!
The Green-faced Ghost Wolf King stood its ground.
One cyan figure after another—the Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves—shot out from the dense woods. They leaped past the Green-faced Ghost Wolf King and gave chase to Hong Yu.
After the recent delay, the main force of Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves had already caught up.
At this very mont...
No fewer than two thousand three hundred Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves were in hot pursuit behind him.
And among them was a Green-faced Ghost Wolf King comparable to a Primordial Core Realm expert!
'Dammit, faster! Faster, faster...!'
Hong Yu could feel hundreds, thousands of Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves relentlessly pursuing him, nearly upon him. If he didn't find a way to shake them off now, he would be torn to shreds in the face of a siege by several thousand of them, even if he were made of Copper Skin and Iron Bones.
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!
A sudden roar like crashing waves echoed from ahead.
Hong Yu's expression tightened. He had a bad feeling.
He finally broke out of the forest...
But the sight before him made his heart sink to rock bottom once again.
Before him, a wide, yellow river split the land in two. The waves crashed and rolled, and the river was at least several thousand ters wide. Unless one had reached the Primordial Core Realm and could fly, there was no way to reach the other side.
He stared at the churning, fast-flowing water, which crashed against the banks like giant hands.
Wherever the water passed, waves surged and rocks shattered.
Even with Hong Yu's strength, he wouldn't dare to rashly enter such a river!
With a raging river blocking his path and thousands of Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves hunting him from behind, Hong Yu's expression grew increasingly grim.
anwhile...
The excited howls of the Cyan-faced Ghost Wolves suddenly erupted from the woods. An entire section of the forest could be seen being crushed and flattened, leaving a trail of rolling dust and devastation.
No path forward, and Fierce Beasts behind.
In a situation like this, what was he supposed to do?!
