One-on-One Battle

Chen Lin and his group, led by Zhu Wei, deliberately took a wide detour, continuously moving stealthily towards the vicinity of where the arrows had landed.

With a belly full of pent-up anger, Chen Lin and the others were determined to fight to the death that night against this suddenly appearing, hostile Monster Slaying Squad.

About 2000 meters away from Chen Lin's group, Duan Hengyuan watched as the five arrows shot by his elder brother failed to achieve their objective, and he couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret.

"Second brother, let's go! We'll find another chance to take down that kid next time!" The burly man with the bow shook his head and slung his giant bow over his back.

"That group is probably going to fight us to the death tonight!" a man with an axe couldn't help but remind him.

"It's a dark and windy night; they won't find us. Let's not waste any more time and go find the Howling Moon Sky Wolf!" The burly man with the bow shook his head, his figure flashing as he dashed off in one direction.

Under the dark night sky, Chen Lin's group raced across the open wilderness, trying to find the group that had ambushed them.

But an hour passed, and they still found nothing.

The group's full-blown anger gradually subsided with the passage of time.

"Everyone, let's rest for a bit! We'll look for those guys again tomorrow. If we still can't find them by noon, we'll give up for now! Wasting too much time on this matter will ultimately be disadvantageous for us!" Zhu Wei suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.

"Those damn beasts, they really know how to hide!" Wu Fan cursed angrily.

The others remained silent but couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Lin clenched his fists, still feeling unwilling.

He wasn't someone who liked to be at a disadvantage, and he truly couldn't stomach the fact that he had almost been killed.

"Awooo~"

A piercing wolf howl immediately made everyone who had just sat down to rest perk up.

"This aura, it's at least a mid-stage Demon General level beast!" He Yanjun shot up, his face serious.

"No, this is the howl of a Howling Moon Sky Wolf!" Zhu Wei looked in the direction of the howl, his face grave.

Everyone else was stunned for a moment, then their expressions immediately turned solemn.

Chen Lin had also heard of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf's reputation, knowing it was a late-stage Demon General beast, one of the closest to a Demon King in strength. It was incredibly powerful, and ordinary late-stage Martial Ancestor Martial Artists, two or three of them, might not even be its match.

"Boss, what do we do?" Wu Fan looked at Zhu Wei.

"I think we can go and pick up the scraps!" Chen Lin couldn't help but suggest.

"Oh! Ah Lin, what are your thoughts?" Zhu Wei looked at Chen Lin and asked curiously.

"At this time, with this howl, I suspect those people have clashed with this Howling Moon Sky Wolf!" Chen Lin voiced his guess.

"Boss, I think Ah Lin's guess is very likely true. That howl just now was filled with anger!" Jiang Tianyu said with a serious expression.

"Boss, why don't we go take a look?" Wang Ming couldn't help but suggest excitedly after hearing this.

Zhu Wei stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before finally waving his hand, "Let's go take a look. Everyone be quiet."

The group nodded and followed Zhu Wei stealthily in the direction of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf.

On a dirt slope about thirty miles away from Chen Lin's group, a giant white wolf, nearly five meters tall and ten meters long, stared with its blood-red eyes filled with rage at the several figures that had suddenly appeared around it.

"Brother, what should we do? Kill it or not?" Duan Heng, staring at the Howling Moon Sky Wolf's gradually healing abdominal wound, asked hesitantly.

"Kill it! If we let this guy escape again, finding it will be even harder than this time!" The burly man with the bow replied with a serious expression.

"But what about Chen Lin's group? They definitely heard that howl just now. If they come, won't we be doing their work for them?" Duan Hengyuan asked with some worry.

"As long as we're fast, there's nothing to fear! Let's not hesitate, let's finish this quickly!" The burly man with the bow finished speaking, his figure flashing as he shot an arrow at the Howling Moon Sky Wolf's abdomen.

"Kill!" Seeing this, Duan Hengyuan's expression hardened, and he swung his weapon to attack the Howling Moon Sky Wolf!

Seeing this, the others no longer dared to hesitate and joined the hunt for the Howling Moon Sky Wolf.

The Howling Moon Sky Wolf, seeing this, flashed and turned into a silver light. After dodging the fully charged arrow from the burly man with the bow, it pounced fiercely at Duan Hengyuan, its icy claws aimed directly at his face.

It was clear that the Howling Moon Sky Wolf had not forgotten Duan Hengyuan, who had inflicted a huge injury on it last time.

Chen Lin's group moved very quickly.

In less than two quarters of an hour, they had already approached the vicinity of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf's location.

Seeing the two sides fighting fiercely in the field, Wu Fan couldn't help but whisper to Zhu Wei, "Boss, should we go up?"

Before Zhu Wei could answer.

"Whoosh~"

An arrow suddenly appeared, aimed directly at Wu Fan's face. He Yanjun, who was closest to Wu Fan, slashed the arrow away with his saber, his face grim as he stared at the burly man who had nocked another arrow.

"Since you're here, stop hiding! Come out! I've already found you!" The burly man with the bow shouted with a ferocious expression.

"Let's go out and see who these people are," Zhu Wei took his hammer from his back, his expression cautious.

When Chen Lin's group moved closer, they finally saw clearly who the people who had just attacked them were.

"Duan Hengyuan!" Chen Lin's face darkened, his eyes filled with cold light.

The others, who were entangled with the Howling Moon Sky Wolf, also stopped their actions when they saw Chen Lin's group appear.

Surrounded by two groups, riddled with arrows and bleeding profusely, the Howling Moon Sky Wolf stared warily at everyone, slowly retreating.

"Zhu Wei, this Howling Moon Sky Wolf is our prey. If you don't want to fight us to the death, you'd best leave quickly to avoid unnecessary casualties!" the burly man with the bow grinned menacingly, threatening Zhu Wei.

"Yao An, let's not even discuss your sneak attack on us earlier. Just on the matter of this area currently being within our squad's scope of clearing, who gave you the guts to barge in without a word, hunt our demonic beasts, and then tell us to leave? Who gave you the nerve to speak to me like that?" Zhu Wei stared coldly at the man with the bow, questioning him.

Yao An, who was being questioned by Zhu Wei, aimed his arrow at Zhu Wei and said with a ferocious expression, "It seems you want to fight us to the death. Since that's the case, let's settle this with our skills!"

As soon as he finished speaking, while rapidly retreating, he loosed the arrow in his hand, shooting it towards Wu Fan, who looked on alertly.

"You're asking for death! Kill!" Zhu Wei flashed forward, swatting the arrow away with his hammer, then stomped his foot and shot towards Yao An's location.

Seeing this, the others also brandished their weapons and charged at the enemy.

Chen Lin watched the lean man charging at him, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes.

As he slowly retreated, the Flying Daggers at his waist silently fell to the ground.

"Kid, die!" The man, seeing Chen Lin slowly backing away, thought Chen Lin was scared and ferociously swung his blade at Chen Lin.
