Have You Never Seen Such a Handsome Wolf Cub?

Bite people?

Butler Robert's expression froze.

Was the order in rural villages really this chaotic now?

But when he looked outside through the window, the noble butler saw a scene that made his eyelids twitch violently.

A hunter who seemed to have just returned from the forest had actually pounced on another villager like a beast and was gnawing on him.

When the villager beneath him convulsed and stopped moving, the hunter raised his blood-covered head. Sharp-eyed Robert clearly saw that it was a face as rotten as a corpse's.

The guards around the noble carriage, which had stopped beside the village entrance, immediately sprang into action.

They, too, saw the hunter who was neither human nor ghost. Without hesitation, Robert's guards drew their swords and pierced straight through his heart.

However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, no one expected that the hunter, whose body had clearly been pierced by a sharp sword, would not stop moving in the slightest. Instead, because the sword was lodged in the other man's body, the guard lost his weapon. In the ensuing panic, the hunter slammed him to the ground.

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

Who would have thought that the villager who had first been bitten to death by the hunter would stand up again? His eyes flashed with the exact same scarlet light as the hunter's before, while large patches of flesh rapidly peeled from his body. He suddenly attacked the other villagers nearby, who had yet to react.

"By the God of Fire..." Robert, hiding inside Vivian's house, stared at the chaotic village, his voice trembling.

"What on earth is happening?"

"Lord Robert, now isn't the time to pray. You must immediately have your guards abandon the carriage and gather around you!"

As a Spellcaster, Lake was considerably calmer.

A blue halo symbolizing magic power lit up around him as he quickly reminded the terrified butler.

"Yes, yes, the guards! The guards!"

Hearing Robert shout, the guards beside the carriage immediately abandoned the fight and retreated toward Vivian's house.

But several unlucky ones were still grabbed by the ankles and thrown to the ground. In an instant, they were swarmed by more and more mutated villagers, who tore into and gnawed on them.

Fortunately, after the remaining guards fell back to Vivian's house, where Robert was, they braced themselves against the building and formed a defensive formation. They barely managed to hold out for the time being.

They gradually discovered that the mutated villagers were not individually very strong. They still had the physiques and bodies of ordinary villagers, but were unbelievably frenzied and aggressive, as if they had contracted rabies.

As long as they were careful not to be touched or bitten, these well-trained guards could still fight their way out.

However, just as Robert was making this plan, another large group of people rapidly approached from their direction.

"Brother Chen! What do we do now?"

As it happened, Nuoqi Village was quite lively today. Not only had Robert's group come from Huodian City, but a large number of players had also been summoned by Chang Lu Man Man.

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

"Stop fighting! Hurry and get closer to those NPCs!" Luo Chen shouted at the surrounding players after kicking down a mutated villager who had pounced at him.

Luo Chen was truly frustrated.

He had finally rushed over to support that legendary, mysterious rural girl, but he had not even entered Claw Forest when an SS emergency mission, "Demon Tide Incoming," suddenly dropped on them.

Before the players even knew what was happening, Nuoqi Village had become a complete mess, as if a zombie tide had broken out.

This can't be "Demon Tide Incoming," can it?

There was no time to analyze the situation. Staying alive was what mattered. Under Luo Chen's command, most of the players also began running toward Vivian's house, hoping to receive protection from these well-equipped guards, whose levels seemed to be around Level 10.

But—

"Don't let those Outlanders get close!" Seeing this, Robert immediately shouted anxiously at the guards inside the house.

It wasn't that Robert was being petty, though he indeed disliked these Outlanders to some extent.

More importantly, he was worried that the Outlanders would disrupt the guards' formation. If any of them had been bitten by a mutated villager, the situation would become even worse.

Buzz!

A pale-blue magic halo erupted outward from Spellcaster Lake, sending several players who tried to approach flying.

Those players had still been able to run before, but after being knocked into the air, they instantly lost their balance. The moment they landed, they turned into white light beneath the mutated villagers' tearing bites.

"Damn!"

Many players cursed inwardly when they saw this, but helplessly stopped and glared furiously at Robert's group.

However, seeing Spellcaster Lake's warning expression and the blue magical light flashing in his eyes, Luo Chen and the other players could only swallow their anger.

So now, Butler Robert and a group of guards were at the very back. Dozens of players were trapped in the middle, while the mutated villagers surrounding them formed the outermost layer.

They had become someone else's meat shields.

"A bunch of bastards!"

Luo Chen's face turned livid. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? He was actually being bullied by NPCs!?

But because of the beta-test restrictions, their strength was weak. They truly could only be slaughtered at will.

On the other side, Robert and Lake were also extremely anxious. They had originally planned to break through, but after being blocked by the players, they could no longer get out either.

Just as the situation grew worse and worse—

Suddenly—

A series of powerful wolf howls rang out from the distance. Immediately afterward, the ground began to tremble, as if some enormous magical beast were charging toward them.

After only a few seconds, a silver-gray, snow-white giant wolf appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The giant wolf leaped into the tide of mutated villagers. Its tremendous impact instantly crushed several mutated villagers into meat paste.

Then it violently whipped its tail, sending large numbers of mutated villagers flying into the air.

In the blink of an eye, the Silver Giant Wolf was like a bulldozer, rapidly breaking apart the mutated villagers that had trapped the players and Robert's guards.

After the crisis was resolved, the rescued people finally came to their senses and discovered that two people were actually sitting on the back of this extraordinary silver wolf.

Before Butler Robert could hurry outside to properly thank the two lifesavers, the Outlanders he had blocked outside began shouting in delight.

That was because, in the players' eyes, the nicknames of the two people on the wolf's back were clearly visible.

Big Watermelon

Melee God of Magic

Well, look at that!

We're saved! They're our people!

The other players had been seething with resentment because of Robert. Now, they vented it all at once. Only Luo Chen remained gloomy.

Why?

They were all players, so how were the others already this powerful? They were even riding a wolf! Meanwhile, he was supposedly a high-level player, yet he was being bullied by several NPCs who had appeared from who-knew-where!

But the next moment, Luo Chen's mood instantly improved again.

Because—

Big Watermelon and Melee God of Magic were basking in the players' worshipful gazes and showing off when the Silver Giant Wolf beneath them suddenly shook itself, tossing them off its back in obvious disgust.

"."

"Uh..."

Before Robert, Luo Chen, and the other players could figure out what was going on, the Silver Giant Wolf suddenly lay down again and lowered its proud head.

Only then did everyone truly see what was happening.

It turned out that there weren't merely two people on the Silver Giant Wolf's back, but two people and a wolf?

A black Wolf Cub leaped down from atop the silver wolf's head.

With a smack, the Wolf Cub's paws hit the ground.

Liao Zixuan: "..."

"What are you all staring at me for? Have you never seen such a handsome Wolf Cub?"
