Angry Birds
"Roar--!!"
A deafening wolf howl suddenly erupted, its sharp whistling tearing apart the tranquility of the forest.
The silver -White Giant Wolf's neck fur stood on end, its scarlet beastly eyes fixed intently on the treetop.
Before Shen Long and the Cannon could react, the giant beast suddenly lowered its powerful forelimbs, its muscles tensed and exerted force, and its massive body soared into the air, leaping more than ten meters into the air with a light leap, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, and viciously pounced on the two people hiding behind the tree canopy!
"No!"
Shen Long's pupils shrank sharply, and he let out a bloodcurdling scream, nearly scared out of his wits.
The Silver Wolf's foul-smelling, gaping maw was instantly within reach, its sharp, gleaming Tusk clearly visible. The pungent, savage stench of the beast assaulted his senses, as if it would tear him apart and devour him at any moment.
The chill of death instantly seeped into Shen Long's limbs and bones.
In that critical moment, Shen Long's mind was filled with only the thought of survival.
Without thinking, he instinctively turned sharply to the side, grabbed the arm of the Cannon beside him, and pulled it outward with all his might, shoving the unsuspecting Cannon towards the oncoming Silver Wolf!
All the changes happened in the blink of an eye.
The Cannon, who had been holding his breath and hiding behind the branches, never expected that the Silver Wolf would stop and look for him and Shen Long.
What he didn't expect was that, at the critical moment of life and death, Shen Long beside him would unhesitatingly use him as a shield to attract the giant wolf's attack!
The sudden pull caused the Cannon to lose its balance; before the scream could even get out of its throat, its body was already drifting towards the Silver Wolf...
Although the Cannon's physical attributes were not low, it couldn't fly. With Shen Long's relentless pursuit, it had no way to move its body and could only watch in horror as the Silver Wolf drew closer and closer!
Silver Wolf's original target was Shen Long, but upon suddenly seeing a figure approaching, it instinctively opened its mouth wide, caught the incoming Cannon, and bit down hard...
Click!
A sickening sound of bones shattering rang out, and the gleaming wolf fangs effortlessly pierced the Cannon's body.
The intense impact, accompanied by excruciating pain, swept through his entire body. Only a faint gasp escaped from the Cannon's throat; before he could even let out a complete scream, his health bar instantly dropped to zero.
The once globally renowned top-tier player, Cannon, who wielded one of the four Heaven-Tier Skills of <Cloud Sea> and firmly held the throne of the strongest player in the White Nation, met such an abrupt end, becoming prey for a berserk high-level Magic Beast!
Shen Long, perched in the tree, witnessed the entire process. A chill ran from his feet to the top of his head, making the hairs on his body stand on end and sending shivers down his spine.
That's terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!
That's a level 100 powerhouse standing at the top of the player ranks, possessing countless Cannon cards and powerful skills!
Before this high-level Magic Beast, he was as fragile as an ant, not even qualified to put up a fight. He was killed with a single bite.
Shen Long once again personally experienced the terrifying pressure that high-level Magic Beast could hardly withstand.
The shadow of death loomed over him, leaving him no room for hesitation.
"Run! We have to run right now!"
Shen Long's heart pounded wildly, and his right hand quickly reached into his robes, tightly gripping a crimson wooden bird head prop.
This was an item he had previously acquired at great expense and with enormous resources from a player from Mirror City.
[Angry Birds (Level 6)]: Upon activation, the body instantly propels forward 500 meters, and upon landing, gains a 200% movement speed boost for one minute.
Frankly speaking, this item isn't a top-tier life-saving treasure, but if used to break out of a desperate situation and create distance from pursuers, it's an irreplaceable escape tool.
"A 500-meter instantaneous displacement, plus a 200% speed boost—if we can successfully activate the item, we should be able to buy ourselves a chance to survive!"
Shen Long stared intently at the Silver Wolf, nervously calculating how he would escape.
Click!
After killing the Cannon, the Silver Wolf's massive body fell heavily, crashing into layers of intertwined tree branches, sending dead branches and leaves flying everywhere.
It was that brief moment of stagnation!
"A great opportunity!"
Shen Long's eyes lit up!
He activated his trump card item almost without hesitation!
Angry Birds (Level 6)!
Buzz!
A violent and powerful force suddenly exploded from Shen Long's body. He was like a cannonball blasted by a huge force, his body instantly shooting forward, covering a distance of 500 meters in an instant, and fiercely sweeping through the dense forest!
Extremely fast!
With a loud thud, Shen Long's feet slammed heavily onto the ground, sending pebbles and dirt flying everywhere.
The moment he landed, the surging kinetic energy transformed into a continuous burst of power. A faint light appeared around Shen Long, and he gained a 200% increase in movement speed, with the speed boost lasting for one minute!
Without hesitation, Shen Long quickly ran forward!
That direction is...
Temporary gathering place!
The wind whistled in my ears, and my strides suddenly increased several times over.
Shen Long lowered his body and ran towards the temporary gathering place without regard for anything else!
After watching the battle Bao Bao and the Fairy Fish, Shen Long knew that the Angry Birds gadget was not enough to help him escape the pursuit of a high-level Magic Beast!
He and the Cannon had only been away from the temporary assembly point for a short time, so running to the Common Zone was simply not feasible!
Besides, even if he manages to escape, who can be sure that Magic Beast can't leave the Monster Region?
Wasn't the Magic Beast that Jiu Chen killed back then also killed in Beast Zone?
The only way out for Shen Long right now is to run towards the players' gathering place!
Xiao Fan was in that area, covered in a potion that could lure Magic Beast into a frenzy.
As long as it can successfully meet Xiao Fan, the Silver Wolf's attention will be drawn to Xiao Fan, and it will naturally stop relentlessly pursuing it.
Even assuming that Jiu Chen has already left the temporary gathering place, a large number of players are still gathered there.
With so many players, he could buy himself a chance to catch his breath and escape.
Thinking of this, Shen Long ran even harder; a minute was too fast!
The horrific scene of the Cannon being instantly pierced by the wolf's fangs kept replaying in his mind, and he could still hear the deep, murderous roar of the Silver Wolf echoing through the mountains and forests.
A tremendous fear gripped Shen Long's mind; he dared not pause, much less look back.
He knew perfectly well that if Silver Wolf caught up with him, the fate of the Cannon would be his own.
"Damn it! That potion was clearly sprayed on Jiu Chen, so why is this ferocious Silver Wolf relentlessly chasing after me?!"
Shen Long struggled through the dense forest, his heart filled with resentment and confusion.
He remembered that when the Bai Family gave him the potion, they clearly said that the ferocious Fierce Beast would attack players who had the potion on them.
"Could it be that the Magic Beast will become even more frenzied upon smelling the potion, and start attacking all players indiscriminately?"
After much thought, this was the only reason Shen Long could come up with.
There is a significant gap in the levels between Fierce Beast and Magic Beasts. The Bai Family only dared to use Fierce Beast to test the effects of the potion, and they did not have the courage to use Magic Beast to conduct experiments. Naturally, they could not know the huge difference hidden between them.
"I guess I'm just unlucky!"
If this is indeed the case, Shen Long will have no choice but to accept this undeserved misfortune.
Regret entwined Entangle my heart like a vine.
"If I had known this would happen, I would never have used this potion in the first place!"
He was indeed determined to get rid of Xiao Fan, but he never thought of gambling with his own life.
His attempt to steal a chicken backfired; instead of eliminating his prey, he attracted a high-level Magic Beast, pushing him into a desperate situation.
