They confirmed that the other party was about to launch a secret operation nearby.

Meng Chao and Ice Storm quietly trailed after the Wolf King’s personal soldiers.

These guys were also experts in stealth and sneak attacks. Even when they moved at lightning speed, they tried to keep their tracks clean.

However, when they sprinted with all their might, they unwittingly left traces behind.

It was like a weed that had been cut by a sickle. The broken edges were neat and orderly, and the fallen weeds were lying on the ground.

There were faint scorch marks in the bushes.

There were also strands of wolf hair that were as thin as hair that hung on the branches and thorns.

All of this was like shining arrows in Meng Chao’s eyes, guiding them to a narrow and long col.

“Be careful!”

Meng Chao pressed Ice Storm’s shoulder down.

The two of them were like two giant reptiles, hibernating in the bushes motionlessly.

The footprints of the Wolf King’s personal guards who had been meandering their way there came to an abrupt end.

The col and the dense forest in front of them were silent.

Only the rustling sounds of the mandrake trees being blown by the breeze could be heard.

The team of Wolf King’s personal guards, whose bodies were covered in mud, seemed to have completely melted into the forest and disappeared without a trace.

However, when Meng Chao poured his spirit energy into his eyes, activated his super vision, and raised his infrared remote sensing ability to the limit, he performed a three-hundred-and-sixty-degree scan in front of him.

However, under the tangled roots of a mandrake tree, behind a rock that was covered in moss and looked like it had not been touched for hundreds of years, and inside a cluster of thorns that resembled a hedgehog…

He scanned several groups of human figures that had subtle differences in temperature and the surrounding environment.

In fact, these Wolf King soldiers’ ability to conceal themselves were considered to be at the pinnacle of perfection.

Their bodies were not only covered in weeds, shrubs, thorns, mud, and even a thin layer of rock shell that looked fake and real at the same time.

They also lowered the temperature of their bodies to about thirteen to?degrees by controlling the rate of their blood flow and interfering with cell activity.

The difference between their temperature and the surrounding environment was at most two to three degrees.

If it were anyone else, they would most likely be deceived.

However, Meng Chao was a veteran Ghost Assassin who was proficient in Walking Corpse and Bizarre Stab.

In his eyes, the disguise was not much different from wearing a colorful macaw feather coat and dancing in the dense forest.

“One, two, three. There are four more hidden in the swamp over there… The whole team of the Wolf King’s personal soldiers has been deployed within a hundred meters of the narrow and long valley. They are divided into three attack units. Like three sharp blades, they can cut a team passing by the valley into four sections at any moment.

“Judging from the distance between the attack units, the target they want to ambush won’t be too many people. They are definitely not remnants of the Great Horn Army.

“Besides, the elites among the Great Horn Army’s remnants who are more capable of commanding and resisting have all been taken away by Red Bear and Mountain Dog. They’ve fled hundreds of miles to the south.

“The remaining remnants are not worthy of the Wolf King’s soldiers.

“So, who exactly are their targets?”

Without waiting for Meng Chao’s thoughts to run, he figured it out.

“Ta-ta-ta-ta!”

From the entrance to the north of the Col, there were two teams, one in front and the other behind, chasing each other at a high speed.

The team in front of them was about the size of more than ten cavalrymen.

Although the heavily armored cavalrymen were extremely majestic, they were all surrounded by intense bloodlust and fighting spirit. It was as if the afterimages of fierce beasts were floating above their heads.

The mounts under them were even larger than the Mount Wolves that the wolf cavalry usually rode. They also had extremely sharp horns and tusks as if they were a combination of a reindeer and a lion.

Even though there were only a dozen of them, they were still on the run.

They still blasted out thousands of troops and horses, galloping with an imposing manner.

Even Meng Chao saw it from afar, and his eyeballs felt like they were being pricked by needles.

In a trance, he seemed to see more than a dozen heavy infantry chariots rumbling forward.

However, if one observed carefully, they would discover that the actual situation of these domineering knights was not as good as their soaring battle intent.

Almost all of the knights were injured.

Not only were their originally precise and sturdy armor shattered, but their bloody skin and flesh were exposed, and even their white and miserable broken bones were exposed.

Many people’s vital parts were also embedded with sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks… all kinds of formidable heavy weapons.

Meng Chao even saw a huge heavy-backed ax deeply embedded into a knight’s left shoulder. It broke his entire left shoulder blade and caused his head to turn sharply to the right as if he was holding a strange lantern.

As his mount galloped, the ax handle trembled on his shoulder. Fresh blood soaked through his body and the hair of the mount beneath him, but he did not even have the time to pull out the battle ax. Judging from the severity of the injury, it might be very difficult to pull it out because the ax blade had most likely injured his heart. If he pulled it out rashly, blood would spurt out along the opening in his heart. Even with the help of his totem armor’s healing, he might not be able to continue moving at lightning speed, much less fight with the pursuers behind him again and die together with them.

The number of pursuers, who were following the exhausted and desperate team, was about twice as many.

The armor of the more than thirty pursuers were also covered in shocking marks left by the great battle. Many of their limbs had also been pierced with broken sharp blades like iron hedgehogs. As they met violent bumps, thick blood kept oozing out.

Overall, however, their situation was much better than that of the fugitives before them.

In addition to the advantage in numbers, they were full of confidence that they would exchange their lives for injuries and exchange money with each other to increase their chances of winning.

Their footsteps were also getting faster and faster.

Although the mounts under them were not as exaggerated as the ones under the fugitives, they were like a combination of a lion and a reindeer.

They looked like horses with the characteristics of a fierce tiger, or tigers with the ability to gallop and sprint on warhorses.

On their golden fur, there were black and shiny stripes that looked like burning whips. They kept whipping the air and letting out fake howls that continued to torture the hearts of the fugitives and bystanders.

“It’s… the Lion Clan and the Tiger Clan!”

Ice Storm widened her eyes.

The iconic mounts beneath the escapees and pursuers allowed her to recognize both parties at a glance.

She subconsciously glanced at Meng Chao, her eyes full of shock as if she was saying, “You guessed it again!”

Meng Chao was expressionless, as though he had scored a hundred points on an open-book exam.

He gestured for Ice Storm to get her temperature slightly lower so that she could seamlessly blend into the surroundings. That way, the jackals, wolves, and leopards below would not notice anything out of place.

Then, he compressed his voice into sound waves that were even finer than wolf’s hair and injected the sound deep into Ice Storm’s ear canal.

“Of course it’s the Lion Clan and Tiger Clan. Moreover, it’s highly likely that they’re important figures in the Lion and Tiger Clans. That’s why it’s worth it for the most elite soldiers of ‘Jackal’ Kanus, the Wolf King, to mobilize a large force and set up an ambush here.

“The appearance of these important figures means that unexpected changes must have taken place in Red-gold City.

“As for the specific details, it’s best if we can capture someone from the Lion or Tiger Clan alive and interrogate them in detail before we find out.

“However, our activities in the past few days have been quite frequent, which has attracted ‘Jackal’ Kanus’ attention.

“So, don’t make a move yet. Observe carefully. It’s best if you can identify the important figures among the pursuers, as well as the fugitives, and see the intentions of the Wolf King’s soldiers at the same time!”

Meng Chao and Ice Storm had grabbed many by the “tongue” during the chaos over the past few days.

They were all middle-level and low-level officers above the soldiers in the wolf cavalry.

A lot of information had been extracted from their mouths.

It included the progress of the Great Horn Army’s recruitment and reorganization, as well as the movements of Red Bear, Mountain Dog, and the others who insisted on resisting.

However, with the disappearance of a large number of middle-level and low-level officers, “Jackal” Kanus had also become extremely alert.

Since last night, there had already been several rounds of dragnet searches, which had brought Meng Chao and Ice Storm a lot of trouble.

The three groups of people in front of them, whether they were escapees from the Lion Clan, or the Tiger Clan members who were trying their best to chase after them, or the Wolf King’s personal soldiers who were lurking on both sides of the col, their movements were sneaky. They obviously had ulterior motives.

They were all experts who were equipped with a large number of totem battle armors, and their vitality magnetic fields were as vigorous as raging flames.

Even if Meng Chao and Ice Storm were not afraid of fighting one or a few of them alone, the enemy ultimately had a large number of people, and it was coming for them menacingly.

It was better to lay low for a while and see the direction of the wind clearly.

Was it too slow, or was it fast?

Just as the Lion Clan’s team was about to charge past the ambush position of the Wolf King’s trusted soldiers, a burly man in the middle of team fell to the ground.

He was wearing a golden cloak, and he looked like an iron tower. His mount could not hold on any longer. It let out a wail and fell to the ground as well.

The burly man’s body was extremely strong. Even his loose and elastic cloak could not cover his explosive muscles.

From the looks of it, a burly man, who was only slightly smaller than a barbarian elephant warrior, would not be much lighter than a barbarian elephant warrior who could easily weigh several tons.

Even though his mount was as mighty and majestic as a biochemical infantry war chariot that had been modified using genetic technology, it?still could not endure the long journey of at least dozens of miles.

It had to push its speed to the limit and silently bear its owner’s terrifying impact on its back.

Not to mention, the brawny man and his mount were eye-catching. Naturally, they were the number one focus of the pursuers behind him.

Both the burly man and his mount were covered in barbed arrows and spiked javelins.

Every time they moved up and down, it was as if they were being gnawed by little metal-beaked beasts with tiny teeth.

What was even worse, there was a long spear that was still shining brightly on the burly man’s back. It was stuck to the left side of his spine, and it had gorgeous runes engraved on it.

The spear, which was as elegant and magnificent as a piece of glass art, pierced through the muscular man’s chest, which was as thick as a city gate. With a dangerous gap, it brushed past his heart and protruded out of his chest.

Spirit energy surged through the long spear, condensing into electric arcs and sparks that stimulated the muscular man’s heart and spine. The muscular man could not control his own vitality magnetic field, and he unwittingly put too much unnecessary pressure on it..
