Chapter 9: Murder Strikes
The mound wolf, with slender limbs, light body, excellent patience, a pair of red bewitching eyes and silver-white gorgeous fur are its most iconic features.
Even when many people see this creature for the first time, they will subconsciously ignore the spiral-shaped dense sharp fangs and four extremely sharp claws between the opening and closing of its mouth, and are all surprised by its beautiful body. But perhaps after that momentary loss of consciousness, one by one the living beings became the souls of the claws of this terrible hunter.
Tsukasa wolves are small in size, and most of them are only about one meter long, except for the beautiful tail. Such a body shape naturally makes it difficult for them to give them a strong physique, so the strength of the Tsukasa Wolf is only roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary adult.
But in many cases, strength is not the only criterion for measuring combat effectiveness. You must know that even if there are ten adults encircling and suppressing a mound wolf at the same time, it is likely to end up in vain, and even if they are unfortunate enough to meet a middle-aged mound wolf with rich combat experience, it is very likely that they will be broken one by one and all of them will be buried in the wolf's belly.
Unlike many savage and strong beasts, the Grave Wolves have never relied on their strength because of their incredible speed and super jumping ability. It is for this reason that when faced with creatures of the same size, they are light and flexible, and they can almost be called one of the creatures at the top of the pyramid. And this is just a mound wolf, and the mounds of wolves, known as the "Blade of Slaughter", are even more terrifying.
It is difficult for the mound wolves to form a pack, but once a group of tsukasa wolves is formed, the strength is by no means quantifiable by a simple stacking of a few numbers, but will multiply in a geometric form.
First of all, the genes of the caddon wolf are inherited from the wolf, and the wolf is one of the most unruly beasts in almost any era. If they want to truly form a group, it must be because of the emergence of an individual with extremely high intelligence, and it also has extremely strong strength, because only such a wolf will be recognized by the wolves and supported as the king.
Unlike the wolves of the old era, the Tsukasa Wolf is a creature that has been genetically recombined and mutated after the space-time storm ravaged the planet. The Tomb Wolf, which has inherited all the characteristics of its ancestors, has a more powerful temperament while having a more bloodthirsty and tyrannical temperament. This kind of aggressive creature, if two of its kind meet by chance in the wasteland, they will never stage a brother-brother drama, but a real brave fight, you live and die.
From birth to death, the Tsukasa Wolf's life will be spent in battles and battles. From the moment they are born, they have already stepped their front legs into the grave. All Tsukasa wolves will kill all their siblings as much as possible, so that they can get the most nutrients and grow up in the healthiest state.
If the juvenile mounds are not sent to the grave by their own siblings, then by the time their claws and fangs have developed, it will become a nightmare for all wild spirits. Because they will use all their strength to drag all the creatures they encounter in their lives into the graves of the wilderness to sleep, which is also the origin of the name of the grave wolf.
As the caddon wolves continued to approach, the people around the bonfire gradually felt the pressure, as well as the faint ferocity. However, it was still a little late, and the bonfire, which was still warm at that time, had clearly become the guiding light of death, and the wolves faced the light and bullied them, turning the people who were still talking and laughing into the claws of the dead.
The crowd suddenly became riotous, and everyone had different reactions, and the various forms of living beings were vividly interpreted. There are those who run away in a panic, and there are also those who are stunned, and there are even more people who push and shove, cry and call their mothers......
Of course, these were all mercenaries hired by Xiao Cong, although he originally knew that these people were useless, but he still couldn't help but show a wry smile. Looking at the group of people who had discarded the weapons at hand, had no sense of resistance, and were scared by a group of grave wolves, he said in his heart that they were indeed too drunk.
And to his relief, the dead soldiers he had cultivated with a lot of money did not disappoint him at all, even in the face of the famous Tsukasa wolf pack, everyone reacted quickly and retreated to his side, which was in stark contrast to the group of mercenaries who only knew how to escape but left their backs to the beasts.
Si Xingfeng has been familiar with it over the years, and he also knows a lot about the fierce beasts in the wasteland, and even thanks to Xiao Cong's momentum in the giant capital, he has also had the honor to fight some weaker fierce beasts head-on. But even so, there were even more adventures in his body, but it was the first time in his life that Si Xingfeng had witnessed such a bloody scene, and his legs couldn't help but start to tremble a little.
Xiao Cong was very relieved to see his adopted son "Xiao Ming" like this, after all, a hairy child who was not yet eleven years old was able to witness the bloody killing of the "Slaughtering Blade" without wetting his pants, and in this alone, he was already better than many adults.
"Serpent Lord! The number of this group of grave wolves is preliminarily estimated to be around one hundred and twenty, except for the twenty-eight grave wolves that raided our camp, the rest of the grave wolves are scattered around the camp, and the location of the Grave Wolf King has not yet been discovered! A thin man in an inky black alloy armor suddenly appeared beside Xiao Cong at some point, and reported to him in a hoarse voice.
"Yo, that's a lot! Stinging Snake, you continue to take the three teams to guard the perimeter, looking for the location of the Tomb Wolf King. In addition, let the second team prepare, the inner ghosts in this group of mercenaries should be almost unable to pretend. Xiao Cong replied in a low voice.
Si Xingfeng was a little puzzled when he heard this, "Could it be that Xiao Cong already knew that there would be a pack of grave wolves to attack the camp?" No wonder he had people bring himself to this tomahawk a long time ago, and not let himself continue roasting sweet potatoes over the campfire......"
When Si Xingfeng, who was hungry in his belly, was about to viciously bite the half-baked sweet potato in his hand, he was still among the mercenaries who were being chased by the wolves, when suddenly four people reflexively rose up and actually drew their weapons to fight with the wolves.
These four people are also interesting, tall, short, fat and thin, each with their own merits, if it weren't for the fact that each of them is holding different weapons, but they just use similar techniques, I'm afraid no one would be able to think that these people are still quite acquainted.
The tall man obviously didn't care about hiding his identity at this moment, and as he pulled out the long knife behind his back, the previous decadent temperament of the whole person seemed to have changed, and it seemed to have become sharper.
I saw that he had a long knife in his hand, and when he turned around, he slashed horizontally, and actually knocked all the three grave wolves that followed him to the ground, obviously this powerful knife had broken the necks of the three grave wolves, and after only two whimpering, the three grave wolves lay on the ground, and the corners of their mouths were bleeding and swallowed.
The man also seemed to know that his identity had been exposed after the knife, so with a wave of his left hand, he tore off the mercenary uniform he was wearing, revealing a vest of special material that he was wearing closely.
At the same time, the short man also dodged the claws of the mound wolf with a dexterous forward roll, and with the help of the long stick in his hand, he hurriedly dodged and dodged with strength, but he didn't expect that the old wolf chasing him actually ripped off his coat with a crooked wolf kiss, and also revealed a blue-gray vest he was wearing.
The fat man among the four was obviously much slower, originally just relying on extraordinary strength, pulling out a dead wood out of nowhere, waving it from time to time, blocking the approach of the grave wolf. However, the grave wolves beside him gathered more and more, and he gradually became a little unable to show it, seeing that the tall man had already identified himself, he no longer hid himself. I saw that his upper body was visible to the naked eye, and a blue and dark armor bulged from his chest and back, shattering the pieces of the leather mercenary uniform he was wearing on his body.
However, in the eyes of the mound wolf, he didn't care about these changes, and saw that four or five wolves were actually kicking the ground on their hind legs, waving their claws in unison, opening their blood plates and mouths to pounce on the fat man. On the other hand, the fat man actually abandoned the dead wood in his hand, but as if he had accepted his fate, let a few wolves pounce on him, and won his chest.
However, the scene where everyone thought that the fat man would be torn apart by the wolves did not appear, but the "bang bang ......" was that the armor that didn't look very solid actually resisted the wolf claws that cut through the gold and jade, and the huge force of the shock also bounced several wolves away.
Where have several grave wolves encountered this situation, they all handed their claws to their eyes in confusion, as if wondering if this was their own claws that could tear tigers and leopards alive, but they forgot to jump in the air for a while, and fell to the ground one after another.
Before a few wolves could react, they saw a thin figure like a green rainbow, and in the blink of an eye, it completely tore apart the waists and abdomen of the five wolves......
The five fierce and vicious grave wolves that were still alive before became several corpses, and there was no life, and looking at the two alloy claws stretched out from the thin man's wrists, Si Xingfeng almost exclaimed: "I'll go, is this Wolverine?" ”
The tall one holds a knife, the short one holds a stick, the fat one clenches his fist, and the thin one raises his claws. Seeing that the wolves were shocked, the tall man with the knife at the head stared directly at Xiao Cong, who was surrounded by everyone.
Although he saw that this person's swordsmanship was superb and his strength was terrifying, Xiao Cong was not afraid, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth that seemed to be under his control. Looking at the disapproving smile on Xiao Cong's face, the eyes of the four men couldn't help but flash a trace of hatred and resentment, obviously having a deep grudge against Xiao Cong.
The four of them glanced at each other, regardless of the wolves on their sides, raised the weapons in their hands, and swept towards Xiao Cong to attack and kill, with the intention of not dying.
Looking at the expressions of sadness and resentment on the faces of the four people, Si Xingfeng already understood that these four people must also be here to take revenge on Xiao Cong. All the way out of Jujing City, he has seen a lot of such people, but they don't even have a chance to get close to Xiao Cong's body, and they talk about killing people and taking revenge, and they were finally killed and buried in the wilderness.
Although he felt that these four people had a deep heart, and they had been hiding in the mercenary team for so long without having a seizure, and had been waiting to move, Si Xingfeng was still not optimistic that they would be able to successfully assassinate Xiao Cong.
Even if the Tsukasa wolves contain a lot of power in Xiao Cong's hands, as long as Xiao Cong still has a smile on his face, Si Xingfeng, who is familiar with him, knows that he definitely still has his hole cards unopened.
What's more, when the stabbing snake came over just now, Si Xingfeng had already heard that Xiao Cong had long been wary of this group of mercenaries, and even if these four people had good strength, they were probably doomed to return in vain, and it would even be difficult for them to retreat.
