Chapter 27: Ch 27: Three-eyed Horned Wolves (1)
"I didn't expect to obtain something like this here!"
Emrys sighed as he swung the long knife in his hand. This was actually an E-1 Alloy Knife, a weapon that is mostly used by Silver Soul Masters. It is very rare to see a weapon like this in the hand of a Bronze Soul Master.
The previous group of people were all Bronze Soul Masters. The appearance of this weapon in that group means someone among them was really rich.
While Emrys, Rohan, and Cairo were walking deeper into the forest, a rustling noise came from ahead, causing the three of them to stop. They were highly alert already, the rustling noise prompted them to adopt a triangular formation. They turned their backs on each other, each facing a different direction, keeping watch over one another.
Emrys's eyes flashed a three-dimensional world appeared before his eyes. Everything within the radius of 100 meters becomes incredibly clear in Emrys's silver eyes. After observing for a while, Emrys said, "Guys, it is time to fight. We are at war now. We have to start a massacre because if we don't, we'll die."
Rohan and Cairo frowned. They didn't quite understand what Emrys meant.
War? Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)
Why would they fight a war?
"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"
"Roar!" "Roar!"
While the two of them were still confused, the howls of wolves suddenly came from their left side.
Rohan and Cairo turned their heads. More than a dozen wolves over a meter tall with three eyes and a horn on their heads appeared in front of them. They bared their teeth, revealing snow-white fangs, as if they could easily bite off a human's bones.
"They are Three-eyed Horned Wolves. Some are Elementary Bronze Soul Beasts and the rest of them are Intermediate Bronze Soul Beasts."
Rohan's body trembled slightly. This kind of Soul beast would tear apart its prey before eating. If they were to fall under the wolves' fangs, their tragic fate could be imagined.
Emrys had never let down his guard. He was not dealing with an Ordinary pack of wolves, these wolves were all Bronze Soul Beasts. Every one of them poses an immense threat to the three of them.
Just like Cairo, he also noticed the wolves' weirdness. Only when half of the wolves pounced on him did he realize something.
Emrys jumped into the air, slashing with his blade.
"Clang!"
A metallic sound rang out as Emrys and a wolf were forced back by the collision of his knife and the wolf's horn.
Emrys didn't have time to observe the surroundings any longer, as several wolves had already encircled him. He shouted to Rohan and Cairo, "Everyone, be careful. That wasn't the leader of these wolves. That wolf was just a decoy deployed by the true Wolf King. It must be hidden somewhere, observing our fight. This Wolf King seems intelligent. Perhaps it's trying to assess our strengths and identify the greatest threat to it and its pack among the three of us. We've fallen into a trap. The wolves already consider me the greatest threat."
Cairo's eyes sparked when he heard Emrys's words. He suddenly understood what happened just now and why the wolves did not appear panicked when Emrys killed the giant wolf.
"Be careful," Rohan spoke.
"You too. We only have each other to rely on!"
Now that Emrys is separated, the two of them can only look after each other's back while fighting the wolves. They can not afford to lose concentration.
On the other hand, six wolves attacked Emrys together.
Emrys posed himself and tried to jump in the air, however, the wolves seemed to have already predicted his move. Before he could jump, they jumped.
A smile appeared on Emrys's face. What he had just done was a calculated move to create a loophole in the wolves' formation. He hadn't truly wanted to jump into the air; his mind was too calculative to act impulsively. He had already predicted how the wolves would react to certain actions.
Now that the wolves had fallen into his trap and a significant loophole had been created, Emrys seized the opportunity. He slashed from below while dashing forward, cutting open the stomachs of two wolves directly.
Warm blood splattered on his face as Emrys escaped from the wolves' encirclement.
