White Mountain forest, in some unknown place.
A group of people was standing with each other and looking around vigilantly.
Xie Tong was the leader of the group and within the group, he had the highest martial art base. This person was exactly the one who went to the ground where Yang Song was not long ago.
Initially, he and his group came to this White Mountain forest for exploration, hoping to find treasures as well as exotic resources. Not long ago, he and his group indeed found a good treasure, that was, the corpse of a giant snake, which was a great tonic for martial artists.
It was indeed a good thing that he was able to find such a treasure, however, he also wanted to find the person who killed the giant snake, in case when that person came back, there would be conflicts. Because he knew that the other party was also a 1st Tier Master, otherwise, it would've been impossible to kill such a snake.
But it seemed like the other party had already left.
Before going, he left a few people to guard the corpse of the snake so that he could come up with a good measure in case that was a situation.
When he and the other people came back, just as they were about to move the corpse of the giant snake, they were suddenly attacked by a group of fierce wolves.
Xie Tong took a deep breath and then exhaled so that his body and mind after the fierce battle would stabilize slightly. As the strongest person in the group, he had to bear the biggest brunt.
The small woods around were scattered with dead members of the wolf pack. But maybe because the night was approaching, it was hard to see those wolf corpses.
Xie Tong and his people were still frightened by the big move of the wolf leader earlier, so even if they were injured, they still had to be seriously vigilant.
At this moment, the members of the wolf pack and the members of Xie Tong were even. On Xie Tong's side, there was no death, however, they were seriously injured. On the wolf pack's side, there were many dead and seriously injured wolves. Otherwise, the two parties would not be just looking at each other so silently at all.
The surviving members of the wolf pack were guarding all around peacefully instead of staying near their leader. Without the order of their leader, the members of the wolf group would not leave without permission.
"This is not the best solution; we have to break out of here. If the two parties continue to rest, they would indeed recover. However, our group will be at the disadvantage by then. We don't have good recovery ability like those wolves," the boy with black-rimmed glasses wiped the blood off from his palm disgustingly and said heavily.
Xie Tong's eyes were still closed, and he said in return, "I know, but what can we do? My ability and your ability are not so useful at this time."
If outsiders heard this, they would be shocked for sure. It seemed like this Xie Tong and the boy were both ability users. Ability users were extremely rare, but there were actually two in this group of young people.
Each ability user was heavily favored by the government of each country in the world. But since these two came here, it meant that they had not been discovered by the government yet.
Hence, such a Tier 9 Soldier giant snake was not rare and so valuable at all.
The boy with glasses looked at a girl in red near him and his heart fell heavy instantly, "Well, I can only smell like a dog and you can detect the aura of the people. Our abilities are indeed quite useless. Blame me for calling you guys to come here with me."
The girl in a red outfit among the group raised her head and looked back at the boy with a blush, "Vice-leader Zhou, you don't have to blame yourself. We are like a family, so if you want to die, let's just die together. You also did not force us to come, we chose to come here with you by ourselves."
Xie Tong opened his eyes and said, "What Xiao Ling said is not wrong. Look, did we not find the corpse of that snake? It's just we delayed it too long, so the smell of blood spread around, attracting the wolves. In the end, we can only blame our bad luck."
A boy with a face seven points similar to the girl who said earlier opened his mouth, "That's right, you don't have to blame yourself, Zhou Xiang," he paused slightly and continued, "i-if we can go back alive this time, I will agree to let you get married to my big sister."
"Humph, just don't lick your words back later. If you refuse again, I will beat the shit out of you and marry your sister without your consent. By then, I and your sister can go abroad. After a few years of doing business there, we will come back and you will be an uncle at that time."
Xiao Ling's face blushed even more when she heard this, it seemed like her entire face was dripped with pink blood.
Zhou Xiang looked at Xiao Ling and asked with a smile, "Isn't that right, Xiao Ling?"
Xiao Ling jabbed Zhou Xiang and said with a mosquito-like voice, "What are you saying? Hateful!"
Pink bubbles in the shape of hearts appeared in the air and spread among the group. Several people including Xie Tong who were already injured from the fight earlier were almost suffocated by this bowl of 'dog food' suddenly.
In the dark and silent forest, violent gasps and coughs sounded out of blue, but excluding the four people, no one said a word. Xie Tong and the other three understood this and put the matter earlier aside.
Their primary task now was to run out with all their strength and fight for it. Leave the forest as fast as possible and enter the city. By then, their chance of survival would be increased without fail.
With this in thought, Xie Tong suddenly said, "Zhou Xiang, you take Xiao Ling, Xiao Wang, Yan Ming, and Pingmu with you. Da Qiang, Xiao Chen, and Yilong, you guys are the most powerful after me and Zhou Xiang, so stay with me."
Then Xie Tong looked at Zhou Xiang, "When you go out, ask for support from the people you see as soon as possible."
Zhou Xiang and several others wanted to say something, but seeing Xie Tong's determined face, they could only nod their heads heavily and promised to ask for help right away as soon as they left the White Mountain.
It was not like they did not think of using mobile phones to call for help, but all their backpacks were left far away from this place, not to mention it was night now and they couldn't recognize the road clearly.
Hence, it seemed like they could only rely on the moonlight to make their way out of this damnable forest.
The three people who were asked to stall for time got up from the ground slowly and then looked at Xie Tong.
Seeing the signal, Xie Tong nodded and shouted loudly, "Kill!"
The two wolves, who had been looking at their enemies vigilantly, were quick in action as they jumped and easily avoided the stones thrown by Xie Tong.
Bang, bang…
The two stones hit two tree trunks and made a loud bang.
Upon seeing this, Xie Tong hurriedly used his martial art skill. He leaped over with his fist prepared and aimed at one of the wolves with a shout.
When a bang, that wolf was hit and blasted away in a big somersault.
Seizing the right time, Da Qiang rushed to the other world. The moment his robust and shiny bald head fell against the body of that wolf, the wolf was forcefully slapped away by that steel-like head. It flew up in the sky and hit a small tree next to it with a slamming sound. The soil was flying and leaves fell to the ground under the silver light of the moon.
The two wolves that had just fallen to the ground immediately struggled to get up. However, perhaps due to the new and old injuries mixing with each other, the two wolves could not get up for some time.
"Woo…"
Suddenly, the wolf leader raised its head and howled to the moon loudly. The deep and loud howl resounded throughout the White Mountain.
Strangely, the wolf leader let out a human-like smile. Crackling sounds appeared inside its body, the gray fur turned into silver, and the original 1.5-meter-tall wolf body began to become bigger and bigger.
Its height and size started to expand like a monster.
The process seemed long but it actually only took several seconds only.
Soon, the transformation of the wolf leader finished. The 1.5 tall body had become over three meters tall. Its paw alone was as big as an a.d.u.l.t's head. The scariest thing was its sharp fangs that seemed to have the ability to bite any trunk and big steel bars off with a bite.
Zhou Xiang swallowed his saliva slightly and broke the strangely silent atmosphere, "It seems like we are all going to be buried here."
Xiao Ling hugged Zhou Xiang's arm tightly and tried to calm her stormy heart.
Xie Tong ignored his sweaty back and head, his gaze rested on the unusually big body of the silver wolf intensely.
But his heart was not so good. It seemed like God did not want him and his team to go out alive from this White Mountain today.
