Chapter 7: The Shadow
The rescue team collectively rushed to the surviving hunting team, and the strong people such as the township chief and the Wutang teachers bore the brunt.
"Pay attention to the needle wolf's hair needle!" the township chief reminded in a deep voice, and he urged the internal force to transmit the sound with ten heavy body refinements, and it could be heard clearly within a hundred meters.
The needle wolf king hiding in the wolf pack let out a long roar, and the needle wolf pack split into two groups, one part rushed to the rescue team, and the other part attacked the hunting team even more frantically.
"Brother Yuan, the rescue team is here!"
The bald hunter dodged a cloud of hairy needles fired from the surface of his body by a needle wolf, hammered it away, and shouted excitedly at the middle-aged man beside him.
This middle-aged man is Yuan Qiong's father, Yuan Zhiyuan.
The crown had just been grabbed by the Needlewolf King, and he glanced at the distant firelight with his head, and there was a tingling pain from the claw marks on his cheeks.
He looked slightly tired.
The other survivors were even more tired than he was, all bloodied and wounded.
Among the surviving rescue teams, he was the only one who was refining the ninth level, and the rest were all about the fifth level of body refining.
Originally, there were two hunters who refined the body of the eightfold, and they were the leaders of this hunting team, but they were targeted and consumed when the needle wolves sneaked attack, as if someone was secretly manipulating.
Fortunately, thanks to Yuan Zhiyuan's critical command, he broke out strongly, leading the survivors to hold up a defensive formation, resisting stubbornly, and waiting for the villagers to rescue.
Contrary to their cunning habits, the Needle Wolves fearlessly attacked the defensive formation.
A middle-aged hunter with poor physical strength stumbled and was accidentally pounced on by a needle wolf, and seven or eight besieged and bitten in an instant.
didn't even scream, and was torn apart by more than a dozen needle wolves.
Yuan Zhiyuan couldn't bear to look at it directly, and turned his head, now the hunting team was barely supporting the entire formation, and he had no spare strength to save people.
But fortunately, the rescue team has arrived, as long as it lasts a little longer!
Yuan Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and shouted: "Everyone must hold on, and these animal bodies must not be allowed to break through the defensive formation!"
Someone came to save us!"
The wounded hunters were kept in the center of the team, along with a few incapable herbalists.
Xuan Ruyi kicked a pounced needle wolf, flicked his sleeves to block the needle wolf's hairy needle attack, and approached Yuan Zhiyuan's side.
"Xianggong, the attack of the needle wolf pack must be controlled by someone, I found his whereabouts, let me go and catch him!"
Yuan Zhiyuan shook his head: "No, the enemy situation is unknown, what if the other party's cultivation is higher than you!"
Xuan Ruyi said unhappily: "If that's the case, there is no need to go to such great lengths to carry out a sneak attack."
Let me go! I want to avenge my dead folks!"
"Ruyi!" Yuan Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "Don't be reckless, if someone finds out that you can cultivate, it will definitely bring death to Qiong'er."
The rescue team has arrived, and we just need to hold on for a few more moments. ”
Xuan Ruyi's face sank, as if he had thought of something, and he looked at the black dot hundreds of meters away due east unwillingly.
A man dressed in black, masked and holding Xiao, he stood firmly on the top of a giant tree, sometimes playing and sometimes watching.
Xiao Sheng's voice was strange and faint, and it was inaudible if he wasn't close to him, but whenever he played, the purple light in the eyes of the Needle Wolf King flickered.
At the same time, Yuan Qiong looked out and faintly saw the hunting party and the needle wolves from among the trees.
He searched for a while before he found his parents.

Yuan Qiong was surprised that his mother, who didn't look like she had cultivated at all in the past, actually had such a high combat power.
But this is not the time to think about this problem, Yuan Qiong is looking for the traces of the head wolf among the wolves.
All social animals have a leader, and the tiger-like needle wolf is no exception, and if you kill the leader, the leaderless needle wolf pack will surely scatter and flee.

In one of the most inconspicuous corners of the pack, a needle wolf with a red fur on its forehead lurks in it.
It is not the largest, but it is the most cunning, it hides in the needle wolf pack and is always on guard against human attacks, and from time to time it roars and directs the wolves to attack.
It's just that there was an occasional flash of struggle in the eyes of the Needle Wolf King, and two purple lights flashed from his eyes, and the struggle disappeared.
Yuan Qiong looked at the rescue team again, and the township chief and Wutang teachers had already rushed into the needle wolf pack.
The needle wolf that stood up was half a body taller than the person, looking oppressive, and fiercely pounced on the township chief and several other strong people.
The silver-haired township chief was angry and dantian, avoided the claws of the needle wolf, his eyes were fixed, and he slapped the needle wolf's forehead with his palm, and the wolf's head with a large basin sank on the spot, splashing a stream of blood.
The needle wolf was killed on the spot, lying on the ground and dying.
Several other martial arts teachers were also not weak, and they rushed into the wolves and killed the wolves with three punches and two palms.
One of the two-meter-sized martial arts teachers even strangled a needle wolf with both hands, shouted, and directly broke the necks of both ends.
The needle wolf's dying hairy needles pierced his skin, as useless as if they were piercing the dark steel.
Yuan Qiong shouted again: "The one with the red spot on his forehead is the Needle Wolf King, Township Chief, he is in front of your left!"
The township chief's ears moved, and he looked for Yuan Qiong's guidance, and sure enough, he saw a needle wolf with a slightly smaller body and a little bit of the same kind, with a red spot on its forehead, carefully hidden behind the wolves.
When he finds himself targeted by the dangerous white-bearded human, he pulls his legs and squeezes into the needle wolf pack.
The other needlewolves made way of their own way to help them escape.
"Brute!
Three palms slapped the three blocked needle wolves, and the township chief caught up with the needle wolf king like a tiger, and one palm was slapped out, and the palm wind roared.
The Needle Wolf King screamed and rolled down several times, coughing up a mouthful of thick blood, mixed with a few pieces of internal organs.
It staggered to its feet and ran again.
The township chief frowned, the palm just now had shattered his internal organs, and it was reasonable to say that it would be impossible to get up again.
Unless......
The Needle Wolf King ran wildly as if he was unscathed, and just as he was about to disappear from everyone's sight, a huge axe as wide as a door panel suddenly flew out, cutting off the head of the Needlewolf King with an axe.
The headless wolf ran a few steps, and finally fell straight to the ground, blood rising to white heat.
It was the two-meter-tall strong man who strangled the two wolves with his bare hands just now.
The township chief looked back and said, "Thank you, Mr. Tu, for your help, otherwise that beast would have run away." ”
Teacher Tu pulled out the giant axe and laughed: "It should be, it should be, thanks to the kid who told us the location of the Needle Wolf King."
I used to look stupid about him, but I didn't expect to be able to help a lot today.
As soon as the Needle Wolf King died, the wolves had already begun to appear and began to disperse. I'll kill a few more heads first, otherwise I won't be able to get back this time by going deep into the Apocalypse Great Forest. ”
The township chief shook his head helplessly, and didn't say much, although this time the main purpose is to rescue, but it takes a lot of manpower and time, and it should be supplemented with some gains.
Besides, the martial arts teacher was directly ordered by the martial arts academy, and he couldn't manage it if he wanted to.
The township chief looked at the giant tree where Yuan Qiong was just now, but at this moment he had already gotten off the tree.
Yuan Qiong, who was hurrying in the dark, cautiously touched due east, and at the moment when the Needle Wolf King was killed just now, he found that there was also a person standing on the top of a tree in the distance due east.
Looking at the makeup of his night clothes, Yuan Qiong scanned it with the system.
"Name: Zuo Shanren
Race: Terran
Combat power: 999
Status: 1%"
At first glance, this person is not in the rescue team, and he is dressed like this in the middle of the night, and at first glance he is doing something like stealing chickens and dogs.
Hunting teams generally do not actively provoke needle wolves, on the one hand, because they are not of much value, and on the other hand, they are too numerous to catch.
Hunting parties often hunt rare species or birds of prey and beasts of prey.
And the needle wolf, which is known for its cunning group attack, will not take the initiative to attack a well-equipped hunting party.
Unless there are external factors......
This couldn't help but make Yuan Qiong think of a possibility, but could a guy with less than three refining bodies really be able to control so many beasts?
Although the Qiqin Empire has the art of beast control, the beast control technique that circulates among the people can only drive one or two heads at most, and it also needs a large number of psychedelic herbs to assist.
The man in black did not leave immediately, which also gave Yuan Qiong a chance to touch the other party's feet.
He lurked in a pile of bushes, staring at the man in black above him.
Fighting on the treetops is not sure to take the Yuan Dome, and it is easy to spot when you get close.
Although the opponent's combat power is much higher than that of Yuan Qiong, and the refining body is ninefold consummated, the state is only 1%.
Sneak attack on a guy with only a trace of blood, it's still sure.
The situation in the distance has shifted in favor of rescue teams.
As soon as the needle wolf king died, the wolves gradually began to be chaotic, and the rescue team killed the needle wolves in groups of three or five, in an orderly manner, attacking and defending well.
Under the leadership of the township chief and the teachers of the martial arts, the hunting team was soon rescued by the rescue team, and the wolves suffered heavy casualties, and only three or five escaped the rescue team.
The man in black watched all this helplessly, he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body shook, and he couldn't help but hold on to the trunk of the tree.
"Damn! I almost killed them, and I dared to come in advance!" the hoarse voice came from the masked man's mouth.
"I didn't listen to your advice to hunt down the escaped hunter and let the fish that slipped through the net move to the rescue, but I also want to grab the general's order as soon as possible!"
"Who knew that there was a strong man hidden in the hunting team! The woman who got the general's order was so powerful, she killed a needle wolf every time she struck, if she didn't want to hide her strength, I am afraid that she could slaughter the needle wolf pack alone. ”
The man in black whispered to the ring in his hand, "You dare to scold me! You forgot who rescued you from the Little Lei Yin Temple! Without me, you are still the waste that was suppressed in the magic extinguishing array!"
"You are passing on my exercises and making me from an unknown blacksmith to a practitioner.
But it was because of this Dementor Flute of yours that I almost lost my life!
Are you trying to kill me?"
"Okay, I don't want to hear so much nonsense from you anymore, I have to change my agreement with you!
I'm paying too much!"
"What agreement can't be changed, you often say that you have lived for tens of thousands of years, and you don't even understand this little bit of life?
The truth is formulated by the strong, you are now a weak person trapped in the Nine Dragons Curse Ring, and I am the strong one who controls your destiny.
I don't care what beliefs or rules you demons have, now you have to listen to me!
I'm going to find a place to recover my damage now, you can think about it for me!"
Yuan Qiong, who was lurking under the tree, was confused, was this person a psychopath? Isn't he a demon, he still has to say "you", he can talk to himself so devotedly.
Yuan Qiong couldn't help but be speechless.
The smallest trees in the Great Forest of the Apocalypse were twenty or thirty meters tall, and they were as thick as five or six people.
At this time, the man in black was standing on the tallest ancient tree nearby, about fifty meters high.
He jumped down and fell five or six times through the treetops before he landed, and one of them fell too far so far that he shook the wound and nearly fell out of balance.
The man in black wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and cursed, "Damn, such a serious injury, at least twenty more people's qi and blood will have to be absorbed to recover." ”
