Someone Is Coming
"Roar--!!"
A deafening, furious roar exploded behind me.
Shen Long felt a chill run down his spine, his heart clenched, and he didn't even have the courage to turn around and look.
It's that silver demon wolf!
A storm raged within him, Shen Long swallowed hard, his saliva dry.
The wolf was much faster than he had anticipated.
He just now relied on the [Angry Birds] item's movement and speed boost effects to desperately escape, running a considerable distance.
But less than a minute later, the Silver Wolf had already caught up!
"What to do?"
The raging, icy pressure of the Magic Beast locked onto his body, and the shadow of death engulfed Shen Long like a tidal wave, a despair that penetrated to the bone swept over his entire being.
With a level 300 Magic Beast blocking his way, the vast level difference prevented him from even mustering the courage to raise his hand in resistance.
"No! I absolutely cannot die here!"
Shen Long gritted his teeth, a fierce Liehuo resentment burning in his chest.
Before the game came into existence, he was just a small martial arts school owner.
After the game began, he relied on his own talent to become a powerful figure who dominated the region. He had gone through countless dangers to get to where he was today, so how could he cowardly perish in the jaws of wolves?
"Hold on! We'll be safe once we reach the temporary assembly point!"
He kept encouraging himself and sprinted forward with all his remaining strength.
But just then, the Angry Birds item's one-minute speed boost time expired!
The exhilarating feeling of speed suddenly faded, and an irresistible soreness spread from his legs throughout his body. His limbs felt as if all the strength had been drained, and Shen Long staggered, almost falling heavily to his knees.
"It's over..."
Despair instantly gripped his throat.
He was still some distance from the temporary gathering point, and his acceleration had stopped; the Silver Wolf was right behind him...
"Am I, Shen Long, going to die here today?"
Just when Shen Long thought he was doomed, the faint sounds of players talking drifted from the woods ahead.
"A player? Looks like someone who came from the temporary gathering place!"
Shen Long's dim eyes suddenly lit up.
Judging by the time, the players at this temporary gathering point should indeed be leaving one after another.
He was currently heading towards the path leading out of the Magic Beast Transition Zone, so encountering a group of players heading out here wasn't unexpected.
"That's great!" A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Long's eyes.
His voice was hoarse and dry from running all the way.
"Now I have someone to help me stop the dire wolves from chasing me!"
Thinking of this, Shen Long slightly moved his right arm, and a section of dark and sturdy metal chain slid out from his sleeve. At the end of the chain, the cold, sharp iron claws gleamed with a terrifyingly cold light.
This is the signature weapon that made him famous.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shen Long activated his Heaven-Tier Skill!
A golden light instantly Entangle the entire hook chain, causing it to hum and vibrate. In the next instant, it shot out from the sleeve like an arrow, flying straight towards the direction from which the voices came!
On the other side, the players coming towards them were the White Nation team who had received the Cannon warning and left in advance.
The team, including the white youth, consisted of fifteen people.
The White Nation sent far more than just these few players, but all fifteen of them were leaving the Magic Beast Transition Zone.
Other White Nation players either choose to explore the Monster Region or seek out the Seven-Colored Deer for quests.
Although they had different destinations, they had all obeyed the Cannon's orders and were the first to leave the temporary assembly area.
Obscured by the bushes, the white youths couldn't see Shen Long and the demon wolf, but they could hear the wolf's howl, though it was quite far away. Nevertheless, the group stopped.
"My Lord, there seems to be Magic Beast ahead."
The speaker sounded somewhat frightened. Having experienced the Fairy Fish incident, they had roughly figured out the rules of the Magic Beast Transition Zone.
It's known that Neutral Magic Beast aren't incapable of killing players.
They will not only kill players, they will also ruin them.
We can't afford to mess with them!
The White Nation Youth, who was called Allah, remained silent, his deep blue eyes fixed on the road ahead.
The Magic Beast's voice sounded rather aggressive, seemingly confirming the message that the Cannon had sent him earlier.
"God, why are we in such a hurry to evacuate from the temporary gathering place?"
Unable to contain his doubts, one player mustered up the courage to ask.
Just as they were preparing to eat breakfast, the white youth suddenly spoke up, ordering everyone to pack their bags immediately and leave the gathering place.
No one dared to disobey the young man's orders, so they hurriedly packed their belongings and set off on their journey.
After a long and arduous journey, the player was surprised to encounter a wandering Magic Beast. The question that had been building up for so long finally escaped his lips.
The young white man ignored his subordinates' inquiries and showed no intention of responding.
The message previously relayed by the Cannon echoed in his mind.
Several berserk magical Magic Beast will rush towards Jiu Chen's location, so urge them to get away from Jiu Chen as soon as possible.
Looking in the direction of the Magic Beast's roar, the white youth spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of certainty.
"This berserk Magic Beast's target is Jiu Chen."
"Oh? God, how did you know about this?"
Upon hearing this, the player standing nearby looked completely bewildered and asked in confusion.
"Let's find a place to hide for now, and I'll tell you after this Magic Beast has gone far away."
"I will obey the command of Allah!"
Just as the White Nation's small team was preparing to quietly move away, a series of hurried and heavy footsteps suddenly came from ahead.
Judging from the noise, it sounds like someone is being relentlessly pursued by chasers and is fleeing in panic.
Before they could react, a chain shimmering with brilliant golden light suddenly appeared before them.
The chain had a sharp hook at its end, which suddenly plunged down, embedding itself deeply into the hard ground beneath its feet and securing it firmly.
"Shen Long?"
The young white man immediately recognized the owner of the chains in front of him.
This weapon is very niche; among level 100 players, it seems only Shen Long uses it.
Before the white youth could even think, Shen Long, led by Gou Lian, appeared in front of the White Nation team.
