A Pack of Wind Wolves

Lin Feng, who had been sitting on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and looked directly toward the south. However, the south was nothing but a chaotic thicket of thorns, which was the resting spot Lin Feng had chosen. Hidden within the weeds or the thicket, most ordinary magical beasts would likely not even notice him if they approached.

"Two magical beasts are approaching, currently about forty meters away from me." Based on the fluctuations of wind-elemental energy, Lin Feng determined that there were two magical beasts nearby.

Lin Feng moved silently to the edge of the thicket. Through the tangled thorns, he saw two sturdy magical beasts with eerie green eyes stealthily advancing thirty meters away, their path leading directly toward his location.

"These are... Wind Wolves?" Lin Feng's expression shifted slightly.

"Boss, aren't these Wind Wolves? We saw them several times back at Ernst Institute." Beibei wasn't worried in the slightest, communicating with Lin Feng in his mind.

Lin Feng stared fixedly at the two Wind Wolves. "Yes, they are Wind Wolves. Magical beast wolf packs are mainly divided into three major groups: Tooth Wolves, Wind Wolves, and Snow Wolves. Among them, the Snow Wolf pack has the strongest overall strength, while the Tooth Wolf pack is the weakest. The Wind Wolf pack falls in the middle. In the Wind Wolf clan, even the most ordinary Wind Wolf is a level four magical beast, while the elites are level five or six. It is said that the top experts of the Wind Wolf clan can reach the level eight stage."

Even the most ordinary ones are level four magical beasts; these are not something a Unicorn Wild Boar can compare to.

As long as they weren't the top experts of the Wind Wolf clan, even the elite powerhouses were at most level six magical beasts, posing no threat to the current Lin Feng. With Lin Feng's current strength as a level six warrior and level seven mage, he could kill these Wind Wolves—known only for their speed—one by one or two by two. However, if a whole pack came at once, even someone as strong as Lin Feng would find it extremely troublesome.

Don't be fooled by the fact that only two Wind Wolves appeared before them; if they were attacked, they might call out dozens or even hundreds more.

"Beibei, you take one, I'll take one. We must kill them in one strike!" Lin Feng sent a soul transmission to Beibei.

If it were just Lin Feng and Beibei, they could quickly leave before being discovered by the Wind Wolves; after all, the speed of a level six warrior was not something these ordinary level four Wind Wolves could match.

But the problem was that there was a "dead weight" in their group: Dilia. Although Dilia was a level five wind-elemental mage, her physique as a mage was clearly not as agile as a Wind Wolf's, and even with the assistance of "Extreme Speed," she could not outrun them.

"Don't worry, Boss. I'll take the left, you take the right." As soon as Beibei finished speaking, he transformed into a black shadow invisible to the naked eye and shot directly toward the Wind Wolf on the left.

Lin Feng's movements were no slower. He stomped his feet, and his body shot out like an arrow released from a bow. At the same time, his leg whipped out like a steel lash, chopping directly toward the Wind Wolf's head.

"Squish!" "Bang!"

With two muffled sounds in quick succession, the two Wind Wolves that had been lively just a moment ago were instantly killed. The head of the Wind Wolf on the left was missing half, exposing its pale cyan magic core, with white brains and red blood mingling together in a miserable sight.

As for the Wind Wolf on the right, its death was even more gruesome. At a glance, it appeared to have no head at all; it turned out that under the force of Lin Feng's leg infused with battle aura, its skull could not withstand the violent impact and was pulverized into dust, leaving not even the magic core behind.

Lin Feng looked at Beibei, whose body had suddenly expanded to half a meter in length. He wasn't surprised in the slightest; the two brothers shared a tacit smile after finishing off the wolves.

"Ah!"

This scream traveled very far in the silent forest.

The sudden scream gave Lin Feng a jolt. He looked up and saw Dilia covering her small mouth, her beautiful eyes wide with shock.

"Go!" Lin Feng didn't have time to ask questions. He lunged to Dilia's side, scooped her up, and fled toward the rear. By this time, Beibei had already returned to his original size and stood on Lin Feng's shoulder.

Although Lin Feng's reaction was fast, the Wind Wolves' reaction was faster.

"Boss, the situation doesn't look good!"

Low, deep howls of Wind Wolves echoed from all directions. The sound came from every side. Lin Feng glanced around, and at this moment, pairs of eerie green eyes appeared in every direction. In the dark of night, those pairs of green eyes were truly chilling.

"We're surrounded." Lin Feng sighed helplessly. In the Magical Beast Mountain Range, the most terrifying things were not powerful individual magical beasts, but wolf packs and rat swarms.

"I'm sorry, Lin Feng. I'm the one who dragged you down." Dilia realized that these wolves had been drawn by her unintentional scream, and her words were filled with self-reproach.

"Silly, don't say things like that. Didn't we come to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to fight? Since we can't escape, we might as well have a good fight. I've been in the Magical Beast Mountain Range for so long, and I haven't had a truly satisfying battle yet." Lin Feng shook his head and comforted Dilia.

"Haha, Boss, it's just a pack of wolves, let's just wipe them out. It's just that, sister-in-law..." Beibei's gaze turned to Dilia, hesitating slightly.

Being trapped in a wolf pack was the nightmare of almost every mage, especially low-level ones.

Catching Beibei's gaze, the clever and perceptive Dilia guessed what he meant and smiled lightly. "Don't worry about me. I'm already a level five mage. Although I can't use the level seven spell 'Wind Walk,' I can cast the level five spell 'Levitation.' If I cast 'Levitation' and float in the air, they won't be able to reach me. And while in the air, I can also use wind blades to strike them."

Lin Feng slapped his forehead. He had been treating Dilia as a fragile little girl who needed his protection, forgetting that she was already a quite capable level five mage. Once Dilia said this, he suddenly felt enlightened. As long as he didn't have to worry about Dilia, slaughtering this pack of Wind Wolves would be like child's play.

"Beibei, haven't you been bragging that your strength is greater than mine? Let's have a competition today and see who kills more Wind Wolves." Lin Feng laughed heartily.

Hearing this, Beibei's eyes lit up, and he excitedly sent a transmission to Lin Feng: "Boss, just watch. Lord Beibei will definitely be the most impressive one."

As soon as he finished speaking, Beibei's figure vanished from Lin Feng's shoulder, turning into a black shadow as he charged into the wolf pack.

At the same time, Dilia cast "Levitation," and her body quickly floated into mid-air.

Seeing Dilia rise to a height of about forty or fifty meters above the ground, well beyond the range of the Wind Wolves' magic, Lin Feng felt relieved. He took his Flat Blade from his spatial ring and began to harvest the Wind Wolves.

Lin Feng was incredibly agile, constantly weaving and maneuvering through the pack. He remembered a line from a book: "Wolves have copper heads, iron tails, and tofu waists." Therefore, Lin Feng's targets were always the wolves' waists and abdomens.

Although Lin Feng spent most of his time moving and rarely struck with his Flat Blade, every time he did, a Wind Wolf would be gutted and die on the spot.

Compared to Lin Feng, Beibei's speed in killing the wolves was much faster. One could only see the black shadow flashing; wherever he passed, wolf corpses would spray blood, struggle twice, and then completely lose the ability to move.

Seeing Beibei kill enemies so quickly, Lin Feng was somewhat shocked, but then he remembered Beibei's monstrous nature and understood. As the second God-Eater Rat in countless planes, it was only natural for him to be a bit of a freak.

Of course, while Lin Feng admitted that Beibei was a monster, he had no intention of admitting defeat.
