Chapter Eighty-Three: Escape
Taking advantage of the night, An Xu quietly returned to the place where the fierce battle took place, and secretly took a look, and sure enough, the people of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group had already fought with the Wind Wolf King, and the scene was extremely tragic.
Except for Xue Zhan, who was able to barely resist the mad Wind Wolf King head-on, the rest of the mercenaries could only fight near the Wolf King, and the long-range bow and arrow shot at the Wind Wolf King's thick fur was no different from scratching.
With the human body alone of Xue Zhan, the five-star defense is already terrifying, not to mention the demon beasts whose own defense is a cut higher than that of humans.
As for those melee professions, except for a few elites of three or four three-star or more who are carefully supporting, the rest of them don't even dare to attack in close quarters, and the attack of the Wind Wolf King is too high, and if one is accidentally touched, it will be either dead or disabled.
What's more, at this time, the sky was completely dark, and the mercenaries' vision was greatly hindered, although many mercenaries lit torches, but the range that could be illuminated was extremely limited, who dared to rush to the front of the Wind Wolf King with torches?
And as the battle continued, one after another wind demon wolves kept rushing out of the shadows, these low-level demon beasts heard the call of the wolf king, and were rushing from all parts of the forest, although the threat was not great, but at this time, everyone was difficult to face the wind wolf king, how could they free up their hands to deal with these low-level demon beasts.
Worse! These Wind Demon Wolves, which can usually be solved with a wave of their hands, became the last straw that crushed the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group.
An Xu was excited in his heart, according to this momentum, the defeat of the wolf warrior mercenary group was already a matter of time, the king-level demon beast was not an ordinary beast, there was almost no possibility of capsizing in the gutter, poison, trapping, these mercenaries commonly used methods, the effect on the king-level demon beast was minimal.
Unless Xue Zhan and them also have a killer weapon like a high-grade magic arrow, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
Xue Zhan was very annoyed at this time, and he didn't know where An Xu and the others had brought out this king-level demon beast, which was ridiculously strong, and even he had to be fully vigilant at all times, otherwise he would be seriously injured if he didn't pay attention to it.
However, because An Xu and the others used that magic prop, Xue Zhan still feels a little stiff in his body, in such a battle, a little sluggishness can lead to extremely serious consequences, as soon as he thinks of this, Xue Zhan's hatred for An Xu in his heart is even worse.
How did he know, and An Xu didn't know where this wolf king came out, but the timing of the appearance of the wolf mercenary group was too coincidental.
"No, regimental commander, the casualties of the brothers are too great, shall we withdraw?" A squad leader shouted with a sad face, his squad had almost lost sixty percent of its personnel, and it was almost a real death.
This time, because it was to hunt down An Xu and them, the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group did not bring healers and other logistics personnel, and many seriously injured members could not be effectively treated, so they could only drink and hate in the Moon Forest.
Xue Zhan looked around, only to see that more and more wind magic power had joined the battlefield, and the manpower here alone was almost unbearable, the most desperate thing was that after fighting for so long, the Wind Wolf King in front of him looked like he was completely fine, except for a few shallow scratches on his body.
On the contrary, it was himself, first injured by the explosive agent, then fought with An Xu and them, and finally against the Wind Wolf King, the successive battles made his combat energy almost exhausted, if he couldn't support it, the entire mercenary group would be destroyed in an instant.
So Xue Zhan decisively gave the order to retreat, but what he didn't expect was that with his order, the members of the mercenary group began to run back like lost dogs, and some of them even threw away their weapons, just to be able to run faster, obviously frightened by the wolves.
"Bastard! Don't run around, keep the formation and retreat. Xue Zhan was so angry that he scolded loudly, but the situation of rout and escape has appeared, where can it be stopped with a word, these mercenaries usually rely on the strength of the mercenary group to go smoothly, and when they encounter such a situation, they have long panicked, and they can't hear Xue Zhan's command at all.
The wolves were not polite, they chased after them, one mercenary after another was thrown to the ground and bit their throats, no matter how fast the mercenaries ran, how could they be faster than the four-legged demon beasts.
This also responds to a warning that has been circulated among hunters for many years: when a person leaves his back to a demon beast, then he is not far from death.
Originally, if everyone had maintained their formation and fought and retreated, they would have been able to maneuver for at least a long time, but because of the chaos, a large number of casualties were killed and injured in the blink of an eye.
"Rubbish! A bunch of rubbish! Xue Zhan even trembled because of his anger, these guys usually blow hard one by one, and none of them can be used at critical times! Suddenly, he came to his senses, now was not the time to wander, because in front of him, there was a sixth-order Wind Wolf King!
The demon beast of the king rank, the intelligence is not low, Xue Zhan's distraction was only a second, and he was already seen by this Wind Wolf King, and he took the opportunity to burst out, and his extremely sharp claws grabbed Xue Zhan's chest.
'Uh-la-'
Able to resist the defensive power of An Xu's invisible air blade, but under the claws of the Wind Wolf King, it was like paper paste, and Xue Zhan's chest was directly grabbed with several huge claw marks that were deep and visible, and blood gushed out like a spring.
At the same time, the Wind Wolf King pounced forward, knocking the panicked Xue Zhan to the ground, opening his big mouth and biting Xue Zhan's neck.
"Grass!" Xue Zhan scolded angrily, desperately holding his hand against the neck of the Wind Wolf King, his sharp teeth were only a few centimeters away from his skin, and Xue Zhan could smell the blood in the Wind Wolf King's mouth.
Seeing that the prey was still stubbornly resisting, a trace of abuse flashed in the eyes of the Wind Wolf King, and he was not in a hurry to bite down, and a huge wind elemental energy was quickly gathered in his open mouth, which was the wind blade that the Wind Demon Wolf was best at.
Of course, this is the wind blade issued by the Wind Wolf King, and the power is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary wind blades.
Xue Zhan was horrified in his heart, his years of combat experience made him react to the conditional launch, and hit the wolf king's mouth with a fierce punch, and the wind blade deviated and shot on the ground on the side, cutting a deep rift.
"Beast, get out of the way-" The fear of death made Xue Zhan burst out with great strength, and he actually pushed the wolf king up, Xue Zhan took the opportunity to roll back, and then crawled backwards.
"Commander, be careful!"
As soon as he ran in front of one of his subordinates, the subordinate pointed behind Xue Zhan and screamed, it turned out that it was the Wind Wolf King who launched several wind blades against Xue Zhan's back again, and even blocked the direction of dodging.
Xue Zhan's eyes flashed with viciousness, and he dragged the subordinate and blocked him in front of him.
"Pounce, pounce, pounce!" The sound of the wind blade entering the body sounded, and the member of the mercenary group was instantly cut into several large pieces by the wind blade.
"Commander, you-" Before he died, he still stared at Xue Zhan with an incredulous look.
Xue Zhan threw his corpse at the Wind Wolf King, and while it was stunned, a charge rushed into the crowd, shouting as he ran: "You, and you!" A few of you are going to stop the Wind Wolf King and cover everyone's retreat. “
The few named subordinates showed a desperate look, at this time, after the break, it meant that they took their lives to block, but they had to listen to Xue Zhan's orders, because they all knew Xue Zhan's character, if they didn't obey, even their relatives in the city would be retaliated against by Xue Zhan.
Several of his subordinates used their lives to buy Xue Zhan some time, and one after another his subordinates were surpassed by him, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to the front of the team, and in the face of death, the previous 'keep in formation' had been thrown out of the sky by Xue Zhan.
There were screams from behind him, Xue Zhan's heart moved, and he quietly plunged into the bushes next to him in the night, separated from the fleeing team, and fled in another direction alone.
However, what he didn't know was that his every move was watched by An Xu, who was lurking in the distance, looking at the direction in which Xue Zhan secretly escaped, An Xu estimated the extent of the other party's injury, and then secretly followed in the shadows.
