Mysterious Disappearance
The scene before him was extremely bizarre, Shen Long was so shaken that he froze on the spot, forgetting to react at all.
He only snapped out of his daze when the young white man was desperately fleeing, but it was too late. The Crescent Moon Silver Wolf with its cold, gleaming fur had already caught up with him like the wind, its fierce beastly aura locking onto him.
"Not good!"
Shen Long was shocked; the chill of death instantly seeped into his body. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately activated his skill, attempting to use the skill's displacement to forcibly create a fatal distance between himself and the Silver Wolf.
However, in an instant, a sharp, tearing pain suddenly exploded from his right arm!
"Ah--!"
A piercing scream involuntarily escaped Shen Long's lips.
He turned his head sharply, and all he could see was the ferocious head of the Silver Wolf. Its sharp Tusk were deeply piercing his arm, and dark red blood scabs were still stuck between its teeth. The strong, pungent smell of blood rushed into his nostrils, constantly assaulting his senses.
Excruciating pain swept through his entire body, and Shen Long's vision blurred. He almost fainted, and his heart-wrenching screams echoed continuously around him.
Upon hearing the sound, the fleeing white youth in front of him instinctively trembled slightly.
"Forget it, Shen Long probably won't live to see the day I get my revenge."
With that thought in mind, the young white man quickened his pace again.
The most important thing right now is to stay alive and escape the Magic Beast's hunting range.
Otherwise, he might have turned around and taken the opportunity to kick someone when they were down.
A piercing pain shot through Shen Long's arm, and his mind was in turmoil. The first thought that popped into his head was to cut off his arm to save his life.
But the Silver Wolf had its jaws firmly on his right arm, and unfortunately, his weapon, a hook-and-chain weapon, was difficult to control, making it nearly impossible for him to sever the arm with his own strength.
"Am I truly destined to perish here today?"
An overwhelming sense of resentment surged into Shen Long's heart. He struggled to pull his arms to break free from the wolf's jaws, but the Silver Wolf's sharp teeth had already pierced through his flesh and bone, locking his limbs tightly. With the slightest effort, the excruciating pain surged exponentially, leaving him utterly powerless to struggle.
Before a high-level Magic Beast, all resistance seems pale and laughable.
After locking onto Shen Long, the Silver Wolf's ferocity grew even more violent.
The aura emanating from this human irritated it greatly, and a surge of urge to tear the other person to pieces rose within it.
In fact, it is indeed prepared to do so.
With a burst of strength, the Silver Wolf grabbed Shen Long's arm and hurled it upwards, tearing Shen Long's right arm off. Then, the Silver Wolf opened its blood-red maw, drooling, and waited quietly for the human it loathed to fall, ready to devour him whole.
In its eyes, this tiny human had absolutely no chance of escape.
"Ah."
Shen Long let out a scream as he was thrown into the air like a rag doll. Just as his body was about to fall into the wolves' jaws, a cold, emotionless male voice suddenly rang in his mind:
"The Crescent Moon Silver Wolf Claw has violated the <Monster Treaty> by killing a total of fifteen humans, meeting the criteria for mandatory deportation. Its Magic Beast number is hereby revoked, and it is to be repatriated to its native continent."
The icy sound suddenly exploded in his mind, and the Crescent Moon Silver Wolf's frenzied consciousness instantly returned to clarity, the Bloodthirst crimson that filled his eyes receding rapidly like a tide.
Once it fully realized what had just happened, an undisguised look of terror immediately spread across its enormous wolf face.
"No! Please spare me, sir!"
The Silver Wolf let out a rapid, panicked mental howl, its voice filled with terror.
"I don't know what happened. I didn't mean to. I didn't want to kill humans! I don't want to be deported! No! I don't want to go back to that place..."
Before the words had even faded, an irresistible, immense pulling force originating from the spatial dimension suddenly enveloped its entire body.
The Silver Wolf's massive body trembled violently, and in the next moment, it vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of fur or aura.
On the other side, Shen Long, who was falling towards the wolf's jaws, had already lost all hope.
He can't escape! There's no way he can run away in this situation!
As the Silver Wolf's Tusk drew ever closer, Shen Long's eyes were filled with despair.
Just when he thought he was about to be pierced through the body by Tusk, a shocking scene unfolded.
The Silver Wolf, which was just inches away, vanished without warning!
The feeling of weightlessness vanished in an instant, Shen Long crashed heavily onto the hard ground. His whole body ached unbearably, and his clothes were completely soaked with cold sweat, clinging tightly to his skin.
He struggled to lift his head, supporting himself on the ground, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a profound sense of bewilderment.
"What... what exactly happened? Where is that Magic Beast?"
If it weren't for the still vivid, deep-seated, and relentlessly burning pain in his right arm, Shen Long would almost have thought that the extremely dangerous situation he had just experienced was merely a terrifying nightmare.
Upon waking from his dream, the high-level Magic Beast that had nearly taken his life mysteriously vanished without a trace.
The disappearance of the Silver Wolf was undoubtedly an unexpected and enormous surprise for Shen Long, who was in a terrible state at the moment.
Everything he had just experienced had exhausted all his strength.
Finally, his tense nerves got a chance to relax, and Shen Long could no longer support his body, collapsing heavily onto the cold, muddy ground.
Intense pain swept through his entire body in an instant, as if all his bones and muscles had been torn apart and reassembled. The most excruciating pain was from the wound on his right arm that had been ripped off by the Silver Wolf's Tusk.
Warm, fresh blood gushed from the wound, meandering down the arm and dripping onto the ground, quickly forming a pool of glaring dark red blood.
Waves of excruciating pain surged through him, piercing deep into his nerves, causing his whole body to tremble uncontrollably, and even his breathing was tinged with pain.
His condition was at its worst. The health bar above his head was dropping rapidly, already below the critical 50% mark. If left unchecked, he would fall into a state of extreme weakness.
Not daring to delay even a moment, Shen Long gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain as if his arm had been severed, and painstakingly pulled out two bottles of Healing Potion. Without the slightest hesitation, he poured both bottles down his throat.
The sweet-smelling liquid slid down his throat, instantly transforming into a gentle medicinal effect that spread throughout his body. The health bar on his head rose slightly, barely stabilizing the plummeting trend.
It can only alleviate the loss of health points, but it cannot stop the bleeding from the wounds.
"We must stop the bleeding first, otherwise we won't last long."
Shen Long took a deep breath and quickly scanned his surroundings.
He had left in such a hurry that morning that he hadn't taken much with him, and after looking around, he could only use the clothes he was wearing to bandage his wound.
Shen Long struggled to take off his coat.
The outer garment, stained with filthy mud and bloodstains from the previous escape, now reeked of a strong, pungent stench of Magic Beast, making it utterly unusable for bandaging wounds.
A hint of disdain flashed across his face as he casually tossed his stained coat aside.
Immediately afterward, enduring the excruciating pain, he carefully pulled open his inner garment, found a piece of relatively clean and unstained fabric, tore it off, and tightly Entangle the gruesome wound on his right arm, round and round, binding it tightly and securing it with a knot.
After doing all this, the bleeding from the wound was finally brought under control. The rate at which the health bar above his head was dropping slowed down and almost stabilized.
"This is no place to linger; I must leave immediately."
Shen Long braced himself against the ground, panting heavily. The sense of crisis in his heart grew stronger. He didn't know if other Magic Beast would come.
After a brief hesitation, Shen Long ignored the sharp pain in his arm, struggled to his feet despite his weak and aching body, staggered around, and ran towards the edge of the Monster Region.
His original plan was to run towards the temporary human settlement, but the white youth had already gotten there first and was fleeing in that direction at high speed.
Shen Long's gaze darkened slightly as he weighed the pros and cons.
He couldn't guarantee that the white youths wouldn't provoke him once he arrived at the temporary assembly point.
Besides, he had already personally experienced the dangers of the Monster Region. What if, upon reaching the temporary settlement, the potion on Jiu Chen attracted more Magic Beast...?
Shen Long dared not think any further. Compared to the unknown Magic Beast, the safest option right now was to leave this dangerous area.
Not daring to delay, Shen Long suppressed his discomfort, gritted his teeth, and endured the pain as he ran towards the Common Zone.
