"That's... the Winged Azure Wolf!!!"

Mu Zhuoyun looked at that colossal creature, his lips trembling slightly as he spoke the name of that Demon Beast.

He could be considered the Local Emperor of Bocheng, so he naturally understood the Commander level fierce beast that threatened their city.

Could it not be precisely this one!

Yet he never dreamed that a creature of this level would actually appear in person?

The appearance of the Winged Azure Wolf—did that not mean this was a catastrophe that Bocheng might not be able to withstand...

"Uncle Ming, what are your chances of dealing with that Winged Azure Wolf?"

Solving this catastrophe actually wasn't all that difficult.

First was the Winged Azure Wolf, and second were those tunnel entrances.

As long as they drove back the Winged Azure Wolf and destroyed all the Demon Beast entrances, the Bocheng catastrophe could be readily resolved.

"Less than fifty percent." Chen Ming fell silent for a moment, then spoke.

Even though he was a High-level Mage, he wasn't among the supreme powerhouses. Facing a Commander level creature, going it alone to stall it was fine, but driving it away or killing it was virtually impossible.

"With Ink Shadow added?" Chen Lang pointed again at the Shadow System High-level Mage.

"There's a ninety percent chance of driving it back... Only, by the side of that Winged Azure Wolf, I'm afraid there will be quite a few Lesser Demons guarding it," said Chen Ming.

"If I remember correctly, the military commander here is also a High-level Mage. Joining forces with them, is there any chance of beheading it?"

Chen Ming understood Chen Lang's meaning, but still shook his head with a resolute attitude: "No!"

He naturally still had to place Chen Lang's safety as the priority, and Ink Shadow had to protect Chen Lang's side.

"We can go to the Safety Zone to take refuge first; with so many people, it won't be to the point of having zero ability to fight back. But if that Winged Azure Wolf lingers for even one minute, there will be no telling how many people in this city are going to sacrifice their lives."

Seeing that he was still persisting, Chen Lang immediately said, "Uncle Ming, coming out this time, Old Master should have told you that everything should be based on my opinion, right?"

"This..."

Chen Ming was somewhat speechless, because when they set out this time, the orders given by Chen Jin were indeed like this.

"Go deal with it, and let these beasts know that this is a city belonging to us humans, not their demon nest!"

Chen Ming could tell that if he didn't follow orders right now, the other party wouldn't cooperate with him in the least.

He could only turn his gaze to the other six Intermediate Mages he had brought this time: "Protect Xiao Lang's safety with your lives."

"Yes!" X6.

When the words fell, Chen Ming called out to Ink Shadow and hurried toward the location where the Winged Azure Wolf was.

At this time, Chen Lang looked at Mu Zhuoyun and said, "Uncle, you also need to hurry and move out, heading to the Safety Zone to have the people of the Mainland Guards rush over to provide reinforcement."

"Good, good..." Mu Zhuoyun didn't have the slightest hesitation, hurriedly agreeing.

Chen Lang was clearly saving this city, so he naturally had no reason to hesitate.

However, the number of people inside the Mu Clan Villa was also not small, and ordinary people accounted for eight or nine out of ten among them.

"Xiao Lang, what about these people..." Mu Zhuoyun asked with a headache.

"I'll take charge of leading people to guard your house and have them escort you to the Safety Zone. Additionally, tell the higher-ups inside the Safety Zone that the Demon Beast invasion is coming from underground; as long as they find a few tunnel entrances and destroy them, this crisis can also be readily resolved."

Hearing this, Mu Zhuoyun instantly felt somewhat terrible!

How could he dare to let Chen Lang stay here? If any accident happened, burying the entire Mu Family probably wouldn't be enough.

"No, no..."

"Young Master..."

Mu Zhuoyun and one of the guards spoke at the same time.

"Do as I say, don't waste time!" In Chen Lang's tone, he already appeared somewhat impatient.

A few guards looked at each other in dismay; for a moment, they didn't know what would be best to do either.

Yet just as Chen Ming hadn't violated Chen Lang's orders, how could they dare?

Mu Zhuoyun also seemed to be meeting Chen Lang for the first time; this refusal-proof sternness was something even he didn't dare to defy.

"Ning Xue, you go to the Safety Zone with them too." Chen Lang glanced at Mu Ning Xue.

Mu Ning Xue, who had been silent all along, actually had her gaze fixed entirely on Chen Lang.

No matter how things were before or how they would be in the future, the moment this catastrophe arrived, she saw the charm in Chen Lang.

Facing such a dangerous situation and being able to remain this calm and composed—let alone people of their age, even Mu Zhuoyun and the others would find it hard to pull off, right?

"I'm going with you."

Mu Ning Xue's tone remained icy cold, but this time it clearly carried a hint of a different feeling.

She knew she might not be able to play any role, but she wanted to accompany Chen Lang.

In fact, Chen Lang was certain that he was safe here, so he didn't forcefully make her leave.

Soon, only Chen Lang, Mu Ning Xue, the two Chen Clan Mages forcefully left behind by Mu Zhuoyun, and the Beginner Mages within the Mu Clan Villa were left here.

At a time like this, the role of Beginner Mages wasn't large; what they could do was simply fight relying on the terrain...

"What are we going to do next?" Mu Ning Xue inquired.

"Instead of waiting for them to slaughter their way over, we might as well take the initiative and clean up all the Lesser Demons in the vicinity first," Chen Lang pondered and said.

With the catastrophe having just begun, clearing out the Lesser Demons in an area meant the number of survivors could increase by quite a bit.

With Chen Ming and Ink Shadow entangling the Winged Azure Wolf over there, the threat to him in Bocheng was actually the Black Vatican.

Yet to Bocheng, the Black Vatican was nothing more than a testing ground. There weren't any powerhouses here.

Mu He's cultivation might not be weak either, but Chen Lang was certain that the man would definitely not dare to make a move.

After all, compared to their grand plan later on, what was happening now was merely a mere appetizer.

Mu Ning Xue hadn't expected that not only did Chen Lang not have any timidity, but he even wanted to take the initiative?

Yet youthful vigor and boldness might not just be an impulse possessed by males.

"Young Master..." The two Chen Clan Mages had a massive headache, stopping just short of kneeling before Chen Lang.

The city was full of Demon Beasts, permeated with threats everywhere. For Chen Lang to go out at a time like this, the pressure on them was truly astronomical!

"Bang!!!"

"Rumble rumble rumble!!!"

"Bzz bzz bzz..."

At this time, muffled thunder-like roaring sounds had already erupted from Bocheng's iconic landmark building.

Clearly, Chen Ming and the others had already clashed with the Winged Azure Wolf.

Chen Lang turned his head and said, "The Winged Azure Wolf has already been drawn away, what is there to be afraid of? If we don't hurry and clean up the scattered Lesser Demons nearby, are we just waiting for them to converge into the city's demon hordes to charge at us?"

"This..."

"Stop talking nonsense, follow me."

Chen Lang led the way, with Mu Ning Xue, Mu Clan Villa's Cai Tang, and Chen Lang himself—a total of five people—setting off outside the villa to deal with the Lesser Demons.

Cai Tang was Mu Ning Xue's cousin and also a member of the City Demon Hunting Squad, so compared to the others, she could be considered to possess a shred of courage to face the demon hordes.

"Rumble rumble rumble~~~"

Just as they stepped down from the Mu Clan Villa, they heard violent movements coming from the ground.

Following closely, they saw roughly dozens of Giant Eyed Rats and scattered One-Eyed Demon Wolves rushing over!

The moment Cai Tang saw these Demon Beasts, her entire person felt somewhat terrible.

She was in the Monster Hunting Squad, and dealing with Demon Beasts was an everyday occurrence for her.

Yet she had to know that they usually only encountered one!

But right now, there were a full several dozen of them!!
