Haven't you seen such a handsome little wolf?

Biting?

Robert the butler's expression froze.

Was the order in the countryside villages this chaotic now?

But as he looked out the window, the noble butler saw a scene that made his eyelids twitch.

A hunter, who seemed to have just returned from the forest, was now like a wild beast, pouncing on another villager and gnawing at him.

After the villager beneath him convulsed and stopped moving, the hunter raised his blood-stained head. Robert, with his sharp eyes, clearly saw a face that was as rotten as a corpse.

His guards, who had stopped by the village entrance, surrounding the noble carriage, immediately sprang into action.

They too had seen the hunter who was neither human nor ghost. Robert's guards didn't hesitate; they drew their swords and pierced its heart.

However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they didn't expect that the hunter, who had clearly been pierced by a sword, didn't stop moving at all. Instead, the guard whose sword was stuck in the hunter's body lost his weapon. In his panic, he was also pinned down by the hunter.

Before the other guards could rescue him, another scream came from behind.

Unexpectedly, the villager who had been bitten to death by the hunter at the beginning had stood up again. His eyes flickered with the same scarlet light as the hunter's, and large patches of his skin and flesh rapidly sloughed off. He then launched a fierce attack on the other villagers around him, who hadn't reacted at all.

"By the Fire God!" Robert, hiding in Vivian's house, watched the chaotic village, his voice trembling.

"What in the world is going on!"

"Lord Robert, now is not the time for prayer. You must order your guards to abandon the carriage and quickly rally to you!"

Lake, a spellcaster, was much calmer.

A blue halo symbolizing magic lit up on his body as he quickly reminded the terrified butler.

"Right, right, guards! Guards!"

Hearing Robert's shout, the guards by the carriage immediately abandoned their engagement and turned to retreat towards Vivian's house.

But a few unlucky ones had their ankles grabbed, causing them to fall. They were instantly swarmed by more and more mutated villagers, who tore and gnawed at them.

Fortunately, the remaining guards, after retracting and retreating to Vivian's house where Robert was, formed a defensive formation with their backs against the house, managing to hold their ground for the time being.

They gradually realized that these mutated villagers were not strong individually. They still had the physique and bodies of villagers, but they were incredibly frenzied and aggressive, as if they had contracted rabies.

As long as they avoided contact and bites, these well-trained guards could still fight their way out.

However, just as Robert was thinking this, another large group of people was rapidly approaching their location.

"Brother Chen! What do we do now!"

Speaking of which, Nuoqi Village was indeed lively today. Not only were there Robert and his entourage from Huodian City, but also a large group of players called over by Chang Lu Man Man.

Luo Chen was a high-level player who had been contacted by Chang Lu Man Man earlier and had rushed over.

"Stop fighting! Hurry and move towards those NPCs!" Luo Chen kicked away a mutated villager lunging at him and shouted to the other players around him.

Luo Chen was really frustrated right now.

He had rushed over as fast as he could to support the legendary mysterious countryside maiden, but before he even entered the Claw Forest, an SS emergency quest, "Demon Tide Incoming," had suddenly dropped.

Then, before they players knew what was happening, Nuoqi Village had descended into chaos, like a zombie outbreak.

Could this TM be "Demon Tide Incoming"?

There was no time to analyze; survival was paramount. Under Luo Chen's command, most of the players began to run towards Vivian's house, hoping to receive protection from these seemingly well-equipped guards, who were all around level 10.

But...

"Don't let these outsiders get close!" Robert shouted anxiously at the guards from inside the house.

It wasn't that Robert was petty, although he did dislike these outsiders to some extent.

But more than that, he was worried that these outsiders would disrupt the guards' formation, and if any of them had also been bitten by mutated villagers, it would only make things worse.

Buzz!

A faint blue magic halo erupted outwards from Lake, the spellcaster, at its center, repelling several players who were trying to approach.

These players could still run initially, but after being repelled, they instantly lost their balance. The moment they landed, they turned into white light under the gnawing of the mutated villagers.

"Damn it!"

Many players cursed inwardly upon seeing this, but they could only stop and look at Robert and his group with angry eyes.

However, seeing Lake, the spellcaster, with a warning look and his eyes flashing with the blue light of magic, Luo Chen and the other players could only swallow their anger.

Now, at the very back was the butler Robert and his guards, with dozens of players caught in the middle, and the outermost group being the mutated villagers surrounding them.

They had become someone else's meat shields.

"A bunch of dogs!"

Luo Chen's face turned ashen. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? To be bullied by NPCs to this extent!?

But at the moment, due to the closed beta restrictions, their weak strength meant they could only be slaughtered.

On the other side, Robert and Lake were also very anxious. They had originally planned to break through, but with the players blocking them, they couldn't get out either.

Just as the situation was getting worse.

Suddenly, A high-pitched wolf howl echoed from the distance, followed by the ground trembling as if a large demonic beast was charging towards them.

Within seconds, a silver-gray, snow-white giant wolf appeared in everyone's sight.

The giant wolf leaped, plunging into the horde of mutated villagers. Its immense force instantly crushed several mutated villagers into a pulp.

With another swing of its tail, the massive force sent a large number of mutated villagers flying into the air.

In the blink of an eye, the silver giant wolf acted like a bulldozer, rapidly dismantling the mutated villagers that had trapped the players and Robert's escorts.

Once the crisis was over and the rescued individuals recovered, they realized that two people were actually riding on the back of this incredibly divine silver wolf.

Before Steward Robert could rush out to properly thank these two saviors, the outsiders he had blocked from entering let out cries of surprise.

This was because, in the players' eyes, they could clearly see the nicknames of the two people on the wolf's back.

[Big Watermelon]

[Melee God of Magic]

Well, hot damn!

They're one of us!

While the other players were still frustrated by Robert's earlier actions, their anger was now vented. Only Luo Chen remained in a gloomy mood.

Why?

They were all players, so why were others so powerful now, even riding wolves? Yet here he was, a supposedly high-level player, being bullied by some NPCs who came out of nowhere!

However, in the next moment, Luo Chen's mood instantly improved.

Because...

Just as Big Watermelon and Melee God of Magic were basking in the admiring gazes of the players and feeling rather smug, the silver giant wolf beneath them gave a shake and, as if disgusted, flung them off its back.

"..."

"Uh, this..."

While Robert, Luo Chen, and the other players were still bewildered, the silver giant wolf suddenly lay down, lowering its proud head.

It was only then that everyone truly saw clearly.

It turned out that on the back of this silver giant wolf, there weren't just two people, but two people plus a wolf?

A small, jet-black wolf cub leaped down from the top of the silver wolf's head.

Thump. The little wolf's paws landed.

Liao Zixuan: "..."

"What are you all staring at me for? Haven't you ever seen such a handsome little wolf?"
