The Wolf King's senses and vigilance were far sharper than Chen Mochuan had expected.
"Awooo!"
The Wolf King raised its head and let out a piercing howl.
At that command, two-thirds of the wolves besieging Han Hao and his companion and assaulting the grotto turned in unison. Like an ebbing tide, they swiftly withdrew to the blue stone and regrouped, forming a dense defensive line around the Wolf King.

Li Cheng and Zhong Xu moved in perfect accord beside him, following the instant Chen Mochuan launched himself forward. Without exchanging a word, they immediately fixed their sights on the two Wolf Guards beside the blue stone.

Bang!
Fist met claw with
