Desperate Blade

Awooo--

With an incredibly mournful howl, it came from within the Fire Wolf Lair.

The many fire wolves of the Flame Mercenary Group, who were out Hunting, seemed to have their attention drawn.

Among the Fire Wolf Pack, an exceptionally enormous fire wolf immediately turned its head towards the Fire Wolf Lair!

This fire wolf was not only larger than ordinary fire wolves, but its fur was also as fiery red as flame.

If one were to look at this fire wolf with the naked eye, they would feel the air around it subtly distorting.

It was as if the fiery red fur on its body carried an incredibly terrifying flame, causing the air to twist due to the high temperature.

This fire wolf, standing out from the pack, was the Fire Wolf King after its Bloodline Mutation!

It was the king of the fire wolf tribe!

When its territory was invaded, it had to appear and kill the invaders.

Therefore, even though it was somewhat weakened from giving birth, it still led the pack to attack.

However, when it heard the mournful howl from the Fire Wolf Lair, it knew something had gone wrong.

"Awooo!"

A low howl came from the Fire Wolf King's mouth, causing the fire wolves that were surrounding and attacking to turn around and head towards the Fire Wolf Lair.

And just then, the invaders, who had been in a defensive posture all along, suddenly acted out of character and tried to hold back the fire wolves instead.

In the midst of this shift in offense and defense, several fire wolves were heavily injured on the spot.

Although magical beasts were exceptionally cunning and possessed strange attack methods, when it came to true cunning, these low-level magical beasts whose intelligence had not yet developed could not compare to humans at all.

The Fire Wolf King wanted to lead the fire wolves back to support because the Fire Wolf Lair had fallen.

As a result, they were unable to attend to both matters, and instead suffered some losses among the fire wolves.

However, even though the Fire Wolf King realized this, it had no intention of changing its decision.

As the fire wolves headed towards the Fire Wolf Lair, the members of the Flame Mercenary Group became nervous.

They couldn't possibly hold back the entire Fire Wolf Pack by force.

Therefore, they could only wait in place for good news.

The ones who entered the Fire Wolf Lair this time were the Regiment Commanders of two mercenary groups.

The two of them each led an elite squad.

In reality, if the Fire Wolf King were alone, the two mercenary groups, with their current setup, would be fully capable of surrounding and killing it.

But reality had no "if." The Fire Wolf King would not leave its loyal Fire Wolf Pack.

Just as everyone was on edge, human figures finally appeared at the entrance of the Fire Wolf Lair.

And they arrived before the Fire Wolf Pack could encircle them!

Huo Lie and Mu She exchanged a glance. Each of them was holding a Fire Wolf King Cub.

They looked at each other again and immediately understood what the other meant: split up and run!

These two were both Fire Wolf King Cubs.

That meant the Fire Wolf King's hatred towards them was equal.

The Fire Wolf Pack had a limited number of members.

Splitting up meant that if the Fire Wolf King pursued them separately, the pressure on each of them would be reduced.

Even if the Fire Wolf King chose to focus its pursuit on one of them, they would still have a fifty percent chance of escaping.

Neither of them believed, in their hearts, that they would be the unlucky one.

In an instant, the two, along with their respective team members, broke out towards the edge of the Fire Wolf Pack.

Perhaps due to nervousness, Mu She accidentally applied a bit too much force, causing the Fire Wolf King Cub to let out a sharp, tender howl.

Hearing this howl, Mu She's heart tightened.

As expected, in the next moment, a low growl echoed.

Immediately after, the wolf pack, which had been somewhat dispersed, converged towards him!

Mu She gritted his teeth and looked towards the large group from the Flame Mercenary Group!

A sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and he changed direction, heading towards the Flame Mercenary Group.

The situation with the wild bear encounter earlier applied equally to Mu She.

Mu She didn't need those people to help him resist the Fire Wolf Pack.

He only needed them to play a small role, to share some of the pressure on him.

With his strength as a Dou Master, escaping the encirclement of the Fire Wolf Pack would be effortless!

The Flame Mercenary Group had already been preparing to withdraw after Huo Lie and Mu She left the lair.

Wang Wu, controlled by Lin Ze, was right in the middle of it.

He held a Broad-Backed Saber in his hand, putting on a panicked act.

When one person among the retreating crowd looked back, their heart suddenly trembled violently.

"That damned Mu She! He actually led the wolf pack towards us!"

A sharp cry rang out, and the entire team erupted in chaos.

Some refused to believe it and looked back.

However, to their despair, Mu She, holding a Fire Wolf King Cub in one arm and wielding his weapon in the other, was constantly breaking through the wolf pack's encirclement, heading towards them!

Lin Ze's Eyes lit up slightly at this sight. His thoughts flashed, and he already had a plan.

He was originally in the middle of the team, neither too far ahead nor too far behind, allowing him to react in time to whatever happened.

But now, he deliberately slowed his pace, letting himself fall to the very back of the group.

Ahead was the fleeing Flame Mercenary Group, and behind was Mu She, pursued by the wolf pack.

As Mu She got closer and closer, Lin Ze suddenly raised his saber, turned around, and shouted loudly.

"Captain Mu She, hurry and escape, I'll hold them off!"

"I know my strength is weak and I can't hold them for long. I only ask that when Captain Mu She returns, he can provide some compensation for my family!"

Lin Ze's roar made even Mu She look up at him.

In his perception, even though he was in a dangerous situation, the person before him showed no Dou Qi fluctuations, clearly a completely ordinary person.

Ordinary people under such a disaster had a very slim chance of survival.

Rather than dying meaninglessly in the wolf pack, it was better to owe him a favor and get his compensation.

This was Mu She's thought.

He sneered inwardly. For someone willing to cover his retreat, he was naturally happy to see it.

As for compensation, what did it have to do with him? This was someone from the Flame Mercenary Group!

"Alright, I will definitely compensate your family well!"

Mu She shouted loudly, moving closer to Lin Ze, wanting Lin Ze to attract more fire wolves.

If Mu She had glanced back at the Flame Mercenary Group again, he would have noticed many people turning their heads back in astonishment.

These were people who knew Wang Wu's situation.

A doubt simultaneously arose in their hearts.

Wasn't that Wang Wu fellow an orphan with no parents and no children?

How did he suddenly have family now, and even be willing to sacrifice himself for them, just so Mu She would give his family more compensation?

However, with the Fire Wolf Pack chasing behind them, they didn't have much leisure to ponder. They wished they had two more legs to run even faster.

As for whether Wang Wu actually had family or not? That was none of their business!

Just as Mu She approached, about to brush past Lin Ze.

Proxy State!

Wind Splitting Blade! Great Accomplishment!

Carrying all the power of the Proxy State, Lin Ze fiercely unleashed the Wind Splitting Blade!

With a Dou Master expert by his side and the Fire Wolf Pack pursuing from behind, Lin Ze fiercely unleashed this desperate blade!
