Chapter 5: The Head Wolf
Everyone surrounded the weakest of the group, Jisma and Naxi, and everyone moved cautiously towards the small dirt bag that exposed the reddish-brown soil not far away.
They knew very well that if they couldn't capture the only vantage point in their field of view, the team would be in an even more dangerous situation.
I don't know how long it has been since the shadow wolves have eaten are approaching step by step, and although they are dominated by hunger, the shadow wolves do not dare to act at will. They could clearly feel that the people in front of them were different from their ordinary prey, especially the dwarf who looked angry, and they smelled the smell that only angry behemoths could use.
Watching the prey move slowly, none of the shadow wolves dared to pounce on it, and the head wolves, who were much taller and smarter than their kind, were a little impatient. The head wolf with beautiful black eyes ran back and forth a few times, and suddenly barked at the cowering wolves, as if complaining about something.
When the shadow wolves who were still hesitant heard this cry, they suddenly became agitated, and immediately the wolves sprang out a few gray figures and rushed towards the people who were moving.
The gray shadow wolf that rushed out first circled around everyone a few times, and then suddenly pounced, and the speed of his movements far exceeded that of ordinary wild wolves.
The moment the shadow wolf pounces, the wolf's entire body turns into a gray shadow, which is one of the reasons why they are called shadow wolves.
Although this unique attack of the Shadow Wolf will knock down those rookies who have just come out in an instant, this time they have encountered a terrible enemy. With the exception of Naxi, they are either experienced mercenaries or have superior strength.
After seeing the direction in which the shadow wolf was not coming, the four people around the periphery shot at almost the same time.
Lidona swung her great sword with all her might, and at once cut the two approaching shadow wolves into several scattered pieces, and the poor shadow wolf didn't even scream. The other shadow wolves who were staring at Lidona didn't dare to attack anymore when they saw this scene.
Some of the unlucky ones who found Gangzawa were not very happy. The shadow wolf that rushed to the front was directly split in half by the angry axe, and the two wild wolves who wanted to take advantage of the gap to pounce on them also flew out with the heavy shield blow of Gangze. Looking at the appearance of lying on the ground with air in and out, he should be about to follow those unlucky eggs to see death.
Raikkonen and Dulles, who were also superior in strength, did not take much effort to defeat the shadow wolf that pounced. Raikkonen used his dagger to kill three Shadow Wolves, and Dulles showed off his martial prowess, killing four Shadow Wolves with his bare hands, while throwing a Shadow Wolf back into the pack that was still screaming undead.
The first attack failed, and the failure deeply dampened the morale of the wolf pack. The leader of the Shadow Wolves became somewhat silent, and the other Shadow Wolves also shrank back, waiting for the Leader Wolf's next order.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone quickened their pace a little, and they stepped onto the small raised dirt bag, gaining a temporary commanding advantage.
As a result of the stop, almost all of the shadow wolves surrounded them, and some of them still had the blood of their companions between their teeth.
Most of the corpses of the newly killed Shadow Wolves had already been eaten by their companions, and it was impossible for the hungry Shadow Wolves to give up any chance to eat.
Looking at the shadow wolves that were slowly surrounding, they had approached to a place less than thirty meters away from everyone.
Afraid of Lidona and the others, they didn't dare to take too many actions. The head wolf, who had previously commanded his subordinates, was also a little restless, hiding behind the wolves and walking back and forth, as if hesitating about something.
Lidona stared at the still surging Shadow Wolves, not letting go of her clenched sword. She knew very well that if she didn't keep an eye on the shadow wolf's movements, if something changed and she didn't react, everyone could die here.
Seeing the anxious wolf, Lidona thought of an idea, and she touched the assassin standing beside him: "Raikkonen, do you see that wolf?" ”
"Yes. Raikkonen, who had always been reticent, responded.
"I'll cover you later, and you can shoot that wolf with a hidden weapon. "Lidona decided to kill the most dangerous head wolf first, and if the pack loses the head wolf, it will relieve a lot of pressure.
Without Lydona saying anything more, Raikkonen had already figured out two knives. His deep eyes were fixed on the wolf not far away. I saw Raikkonen's left hand slowly unfold the two knives, ready to find the most appropriate time, but the head wolf who was still anxious.
Sou. Sou.
The two knives were flung out by Raikkonen, and they slid two graceful arcs in the air before hitting the head wolf who had no idea of the attack at all.
The head wolf, who had been hit in the vital part by the knife, snorted a few times and then fell to the ground. As a brilliant assassin, Raikkonen felt the poison that sealed his throat with blood on two knives, and as long as he could scrape a bloody wound on the shadow wolf, the head wolf would not survive.
Sure enough, the death of the head wolf caused panic among the wolves, and none of them expected their leader to fall like this. Suddenly, a circle spread around the head wolf, and some shadow wolves close to the head wolf were already half-sitting on the ground and whispering, as if mourning the dead leader.
"Looks like we can get rid of these damn animals if we just work harder. Naxi, who saw that the shadow wolves were already extremely low, said.
Indeed, some of the shadow wolves under their eyes already seem to have no intention of fighting, if this emotion is allowed to spread among the shadow wolves, then as long as they are taught a little more lesson, and the momentum is pressed over these beasts, then it will be quite easy to drive them away.
Just when everyone thought that a breakthrough was in sight, the wolves that were originally surrounded by water suddenly dispersed a few gaps. Everyone was surprised to see that in each gap there was a figure similar to the head of the wolf that had just died.
Watching the shadow wolves surrounding them quickly divide into several obvious large groups due to the arrival of the first wolves, this reminded Naxi of the wolf howls that appeared at the beginning, and the wolf howls that came one after another were clearly shouted by several wolves. Just like the demon wolves described by Gangze, the shadow wolves surrounding them are also composed of several wolf packs.
I saw one of the one-eyed head wolves walking lightly in front of the fallen head wolf, and the other head wolves were not to be outdone. The wolves roared around the dead wolves, as if they were bargaining.
Seeing this scene, Raikkonen didn't dare to do anything more, he didn't know how many wolves were still hiding among the wolves in the domain.
But what happened next made Raikkonen regret immensely, and he felt that he had missed an opportunity to kill all the head wolves.
The one-eyed wolf yelled at the shadow wolves gathered around him, and the other wolves threatened the shadow wolves they had fancied, as if to coerce them into making the choice they needed.
Soon, the shadow wolves who were still in the position of moving around actually divided into several factions after a while, and joined the group of other wolves one after another.
After witnessing the tragedy of the dead head wolf, the remaining head wolf let out a long howl again. Everyone was surprised to find that the bodies of these wolves had changed, the gray hair on their bodies was constantly twisted and turned into a floating shape that exuded a black aura, and the body finally turned into a constantly twisted existence, like a black flame.
"It's shadowing!" Raikkonen cried out.
As an assassin, he knew that the changes that appeared in the head wolf were the only stunts of high-ranking thieves.
Shadow can hide the body in the erratic shadow while increasing evasion and defense, and since the head wolf is shadowed, then the hidden weapon coated with poison will be reduced to a negligible level.
In other words, the decapitation operation is no longer effective.
The heavy encirclement closed again, and the Shadow Wolves were closer than they had just been approaching, and those Shadow Wolves who had just joined the packs were pushed in front of their companions. Without the protection of the original wolf, they can only become cannon fodder.
At this time, Naxi no longer had any thoughts, and he could see that the eyes of the shadow wolves who were pushed to the front no longer had the fear they had just now, only the instinct to kill.
The next wave of attacks is bound to be bloody.
