After making sure the patrolling mechanical tiger had left, we continued on our way.
But we had not gone far, probably not even two kilometers, when we heard two wolf howls.
Zhang Jing's expression changed sharply. "Just what we feared—evil wolves!"
It really did sound like wolves, and the howls seemed to be coming from different directions. At least two directions had echoed with wolf cries just now.
That meant the evil wolves had set their sights on us, and there was more than one of them.
Although I knew these evil wolves were mechanical beasts too, I still felt a little nervous.
Who knew whether an entire pack was coming?
Sure enough, we heard footsteps approaching from three directions. They were clearly animal footsteps, and soon more than a dozen dark figures appeared around us.
I counted roughly. There were at least thirteen wolves.
The one in front was probably their alpha. It stood a head taller than the others.
"We're done for. We might die here. Jiang Xiaobai, we're counting on you."
She still did not have much faith in me. Although I had used Heart Core Power to take out those two mechanical mantises earlier, there had only been two of them. This was a whole pack.
As the old saying went, two fists could not defeat four hands.
So it was only natural for her to worry.
Without hesitating, I walked straight toward the alpha wolf.
The alpha wolf glared at me viciously, and I held my palm out toward it.
A flicker of fear appeared on its originally ferocious face, and it actually backed away.
When the other wolves saw the alpha retreat, they retreated as well.
The alpha turned and ran, moving with astonishing speed.
Once it ran, every wolf vanished without a trace.
