At a critical moment, the appearance of another monster plunged this adventure team into a crisis. Originally, the power of the monsters was more than ten times stronger than that of the adventurers at the same level. Not only did they have strong bodies, but they also possessed powerful corrosive demonic energy, which forced the adventurers to be cautious.
The reemergence of the giant wolf brought them almost to the brink of death. Two giant wolves at the same upper level were already beyond their ability to deal with. Unless they were super hunters who were capable of hunting and had a place on the ranking list, it was almost impossible to defeat the monsters in one-on-one combat, let alone the fact that they were already struggling to deal with just one.
"Run, everyone! Those who can run, run!" The team leader of this adventure group was decisive. Seeing the situation was not good, he immediately shouted loudly and turned on his heels to run. After all, there were only two wolf monsters. If they split up and run, someone would definitely be able to get away. As long as they didn't run too slow, he was very confident in this strategy because he had a pair of rare magic boots that increased his speed.
However, his idea was good and very reasonable, but the premise was that there were really only two wolf monsters. When he ran out of the big pit, a dark shadow suddenly pounced towards him. Before he could react, a bloody mouth bit off his head. For a while, dozens of large and small wolf monsters appeared around the pit.
Wolves are social animals and generally do not appear alone. Occasionally, if they do, it may be an old wolf that is about to die, or some kind of anomaly.
"...!!!"
Sakiya looked at the adventurer team being devoured, her face pale with fear. Her body trembled uncontrollably and she couldn't shrink any further, just as she was about to be discovered by those giant wolf monsters.
"Ah-woof!" The previously besieged giant wolf monster let out a roar after devouring one of the adventurers. It was the leader of this group of wolves, and also the strongest of them all.
Sniff sniff!
The leader of the wolf monsters twitched its nose and sniffed the air. Its icy gaze suddenly fell on the stone where Sakiya was hiding. In an instant, Sakiya's heart skipped a beat, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her body couldn't help but tremble.
She wanted to run, but her body didn't listen to her commands!
Sniff sniff!
The wolf leader sniffed again and a glint flashed in its eyes, as if it had discovered something delicious. It let out a low "woof woof!" and strode towards the center of the pit, its huge wolf claws digging into the ground like shovels.
"Huff huff huff!" Sakiya sat on the ground, gasping for breath. Just a moment ago, she thought the giant wolf monster would pounce on her. It was only when she reacted that she realized her whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
"Woohoo!" The leader of the giant wolves let out an excited howl. It unearthed something from the dirt and Sakiya happened to see it. It was a "corpse"?
The wolf leader circled around the "corpse" and occasionally it would lower its head to sniff. Sakiya didn't know what it was thinking, but it might be planning to start eating from there! In her heart, Sakiya silently prayed for the wolf monsters to leave quickly. Otherwise, she didn't dare to make any movements, afraid that any slight action would attract these ferocious guys.
After lingering for a long time, the wolf leader seemed to have made a decision. Sakiya watched the situation, thinking that it was indeed going to start eating. She only hoped that it would finish quickly so she could leave this terrible place. However, the first sound Sakiya heard when her eyes were closed was not the sound of chewing, but a cry of agony from the wolf. She opened her eyes and secretly took a peek.
"Am I dreaming...?"
Sakuya unconsciously pinched her own arm.
"Ouch—!"
"It hurts...so much...!"
Sakuya watched as those incredibly powerful werewolves were sent flying one by one, and after they landed on the ground, they didn't even have a chance to struggle. They twitched twice and then went still, completely killed in an instant.
Although there were many werewolves, the situation seemed to have changed. The person holding that azure warblade, which was just dug out by the werewolf leader, seemed like a god of war. Every swing of his blade killed a werewolf, and those werewolves couldn't even touch the hem of his clothes.
Sakuya had seen battles with monsters before, but this kind of one-sided domination was something she had never seen. In her eyes, the several adventuring parties that often appeared on the frontlines at Klein Defense Line were the most powerful she knew. Even if all of them came, they probably couldn't achieve this level, right?
While Sakuya was still in a daze, the dozen or so werewolves had already been killed. The air was filled with a strong scent of blood, mingling the blood of both humans and monsters.
"Clang—!"
"Ah—!" Suddenly, Sakuya's voice was scared out of her, even though she had experienced many things, she was still just a child. She hugged her head and curled up, seeking a sense of security. However, the pupils she imagined did not appear. She secretly opened her eyes and looked over. The person who had just killed everyone was now lying on the ground. The sound from earlier was because the warblade in his hand had fallen.
"Gurgle—!"
Sakuya swallowed her saliva. She had experienced more fright in one day today than she had in the past year. She gasped heavily for a while, then curiously looked toward the figure in the large pit. After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't resist her curiosity and wanted to go and take a look.
She drew the short sword at her waist. It was just an ordinary weapon made of refined iron, and it had become somewhat blunt. But at least it made her feel a little more at ease.
Carefully approaching the person lying on the ground, Sakuya's heart was in her throat. Keeping a distance of around 3-5 meters, she picked up a stone and threw it. The figure didn't react, so she approached.
"Hey! Hey! Wake up!" Sakuya gently pushed the person on the ground, but there was no response. She glanced at the person's tattered clothes, couldn't tell anything from them, but the warblade lying to the side looked very nice. Even though Sakuya didn't understand anything, she knew that it was definitely a very powerful weapon. Otherwise, how could it cleave a werewolf in one strike?
"So heavy...and so cold!"
"What kind of strange weapon is this? It's freezing me!" Sakuya looked at her frozen red hand. It was colder than touching an ice block in winter. Could anyone really use such a weapon? She didn't think anyone would.
"Who is this person lying on the ground? Should I save him?" Sakuya thought as she struggled to turn over the figure on the ground. When she saw the several giant wounds under the tattered clothes, if it wasn't for the person's breath, she would have thought he was already dead. Can someone really survive these kinds of wounds?
