Chapter 38: Chapter 37: Hidden Wolf
“Kill, defend the city gate!”
Seeing the situation, Yu Meng immediately shouted and urged everyone towards the City Gate.
At this moment, a large dark shadow suddenly fell fiercely from the high altitude, carrying a violent wind with it.
“Quickly, scatter!”
Yu Meng shouted and leapt to the left.
Shen Luo rolled to the other side, narrowly avoiding the attack while clutching the Small Thunder Talisman in his palm.
But the dark figure was too fast and still several people failed to avoid it.
A sound of crushing bones rang through the air, and those who were hit spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood. They lost consciousness without even a scream, their life and death unknown.
The descending dark figure was a huge black wolf with a broken forepaw hanging at an odd angle on its body. The skin at the broken end was torn, revealing a chilling white leg bone.
It seemed indifferent to the pain. With a leap from its hind legs, it pounced aggressively at the nearby crowd, not losing much speed.
The man nearest to it could not dodge in time and had his throat bitten off by the black wolf.
“Ah…” A shrill scream resonated, then abruptly stopped.
Fresh blood trickled from the black wolf’s mouth and the man’s struggling ceased, visibly doomed.
“Beast!”
Yu Meng stood close to the black wolf. Seeing the grisly scene, his brows furrowed into a frown as he roared, charging ahead.
The others seeing Yu Meng’s actions followed suit and rushed forward.
The black wolf’s blood-red eyes reflected a murderous light. It flung the man from its mouth and swung a huge paw at the approaching crowd, instantly knocking two people off their feet.
Yu Meng leaned his upper body backward violently, his back almost touching the ground, barely ducking under the black wolf’s giant claws. His knees were still on the ground as he slid rapidly forward, attacking the black wolf.
He shook his right arm as the Black Blade turned into a fan-shaped black light, slashing the black wolf’s abdomen.
The Black Blade was exceedingly sharp. A “puchi” sounded as a deep wound was cut into the black wolf’s abdomen, with fresh blood spraying out. Through the injury, the red innards inside were all too visible.
Suffering a severe injury, the black wolf abruptly turned its head and pounced on Yu Meng.
Before Yu Meng’s eyes, a bloodied enormous mouth was inches away from his face. The smell of blood rushed at him, and the tusk almost touched his face.
Fortunately, his martial skills were not ordinary, and he tumbled backwards, evading the black wolf’s giant mouth.
But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, a big wolf paw descended from the sky, carrying a screeching wind pressure, and hit him.
If the blow landed solidly, Yu Meng, no matter how tough his body was, he would meet his end.
But having exhausted his strength, he was not fast enough to dodge. He slapped the ground, his palm emitted a red light, and he moved his body to the side.
Even so, his movement was not swift enough, and he was about to be injured under the black wolf’s paw.
At that moment, a strong light beam shot from the side and hit the black wolf’s head directly.
An explosive thunder sounded!
The black wolf’s head exploded and turned into a shower of blood that splashed everywhere. Its giant body was also blown away, hitting the ground gravely. Fortunately, where it landed was an open space, and no persons were hit.
Several meters away, Shen Luo held a shattered talisman paper in his hand, slowly putting it down.
Upon seeing the swift and cruel demise of the black wolf, everyone present gasped, their eyes all landed on Shen Luo, filled with disbelief.
The chaotic scene was quiet for an instant.
Yu Meng sprang from the ground, a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
The situation was urgent and he didn’t have time for a thank you. He nodded at Shen Luo, brandished the Black Blade, and rushed towards the City Defense Team.
Everyone else also regained their senses and joined the great battle for the city.
Shen Luo discarded the broken talisman paper in his hand with a calm face, but he was very excited in his heart. This time, the Small Thunder Talisman he had provoked was a true talisman paper, not the semi-finished product he used to draw on his skin with essence blood.
Shen Luo’s gaze returned to the fierce battle in front of him. He gripped the Black Blade at his waist, ready to join the battle. But after only taking a few steps, he paused and looked back at the corpse of the black wolf.
Shen Luo examined the corpse of the black wolf carefully, looked around, but found nothing unusual.
“Did I imagine something…” A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Just then, something unexpected happened!
An azure shadow flashed in the void nearby, a blue wolf the size of a regular gray wolf emerged silently, its elongated eyes cunning almost human-like.
Seeing this, Shen Luo was greatly surprised and tried to roll away, but it was too late.
The blue wolf was a step faster. Its body hair suddenly stood up, its stomach bulged, and it let out a roar. A huge green wind blade appeared at the edge of its mouth and disappeared with a “whoosh”.
After Shen Luo’s pupils shrank, he felt a severe pain in his waist, and his body slowly fell.
At the same time, the people who were originally guarding behind the city gate, in the blink of the green wind blade, fell one after another like cut grass.
Shen Luo’s vision quickly became pitch black. The last thing he saw was a large number of wolf beasts roaring and rushing into the city, then he plunged into endless darkness.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Shen Luo felt awakened by a sudden commotion of battle.
He seemed to be half-awake and did not realize what was going on for a moment. He almost believed the noise to be his own illusion.
Then a shrill scream rang in his ears, making him tremble. With that, he came to his senses because the scream, though short-lived, was familiar.
Shen Luo felt a bright light before his eyes, and the surroundings came into view.
The young and strong men defending the city gate, fighting against the black wolves, and the figures on the city wall engaged in a fight with the gray wolves, were visible not far away.
“Did I resurrect again?”
This thought only crossed his mind before he realized he was gripping the unactivated Small Thunder Talisman Paper.
Not far in front of him, a black wolf with a broken leg had just hurled the body of a middle-aged man from its mouth.
After Shen Luo took in the scenes before him, he was slightly taken aback.
During his past resurrected experiences, he would always return to the time when he had just fallen asleep. However, this time was obviously different.
But now was not the time to investigate this condition. He quickly took off his clothes and grabbed several handfuls of dry ashes from the ground, wrapping them in his clothes.
A few people around noticed Shen Luo’s action, and their faces exposed their surprise.
