"Habi, be careful..." Bond shouted with red eyes, but unfortunately it was too late. The black Giant Wolf, which was larger and more aggressive than ordinary wild wolves, deftly avoided the spears thrust by the three teenagers, and then killed the young boy on the side. Nian fell to the ground, and with just one bite, a huge blood hole appeared on the young man's neck. Before the sword and gun from behind fell on him again, the cunning Giant Wolf succeeded in one blow and jumped away deftly. He only revealed his bloody fangs, moved his steps slightly, and looked at the group of pale-faced young men in front of him with cruel eyes.

There was another scream from over there, and the stomach of a young boy wearing only a leather breastplate was ripped open by Giant Wolf's sharp claws. The young boy holding a spear instantly fell to the ground and screamed in pain. In just a moment, the young boy's slashed intestines flowed out from his stomach. The loud painful screams and the appearance of the young boy rolling on the ground who had his belly and intestines slashed pierced everyone's hearts like a knife.

The smell of blood at the scene became stronger, and what was stronger than the smell of blood was the fear that hung over the heads of the teenagers - the fear of death!

"No, I don't want to die here, I want to go back, I want to go back to Wild Wolf Castle, I don't want to hunt Gold Wolf anymore..." Facing the deaths of his companions one after another, he was killed by several Giant Wolf A young man in the team of trial students surrounded by the team had a nervous breakdown. The young man yelled, dropped the spear in his hand, and rushed out of the crowd's defense circle like crazy, rushing in the direction of Wild Wolf Castle.

"Asshole, come back..."

"Pino, you will die, come back quickly..."

"Don't run..."

Behind the collapsed boy, his companions were crying and shouting, but the boy didn't seem to hear them. All he wanted to do was leave this place. The boy had just ran out more than twenty steps, surrounded one of these trial students, Giant Wolf, turned around and chased after him. Before the boy ran thirty steps, the boy was caught up by the dexterous Giant Wolf, and then everyone looked at Giant Wolf helplessly. threw his companion to the ground, and after a few shrill screams from Pino and a terrifying sound of Giant Wolf's teeth chopping bone and flesh, everything returned to silence. Giant Wolf, with blood on his mouth, came back again, and together with other Giant Wolf, circled around these teenagers with fierce looks on their faces.

Giant Wolf is far more cunning and ferocious than ordinary wild wolves. This is the gap between ordinary creatures and first-level creatures.

The two spear defense circles of the teenagers have been compressed to the extreme by Giant Wolf. They no longer dare to move rashly. The price for the teenagers in the two defense circles that were just separated by Giant Wolf to join together is that the lives of two companions were taken away by Giant Wolf in the blink of an eye. Another companion is rolling on the ground and screaming, but the voice has become weaker and weaker.

Outside the defensive circle of the two spears of the teenagers, blood was scattered everywhere. The blood. There were Giant Wolf, and many more were indeed human. There was a Giant Wolf lying between the two circles. There were several bloody holes pierced by the spears on its body. The Giant Wolf lying on the ground was no longer alive., but right next to this Giant Wolf, there is also the corpse of a teenager. Not far from the corpse of the teenager, is Habi who just fell down. There is also the teenager who is still screaming on the ground, but his voice is getting weaker and weaker, and Pino, who has made no sound anymore thirty steps away.

Giant Wolf died, but the teenagers had paid or were about to pay the price of four lives. The teenagers in the two defense circles were all in tears at this moment, and some people's hands and feet began to tremble unconsciously. At this moment, fear and regret bit the hearts of the teenagers like poisonous snakes.

The Survival Trial in the previous month gradually made them feel arrogant. After successfully hunting ordinary wild wolves and various preys, they slowly put their previous caution behind them. A few days ago, the news from Black Flame City that Gooseneck Grass and Gold Wolf were purchased at high prices made them no longer feel at ease with just hunting ordinary wild wolves. They also want to try or try their luck. In their opinion, with the spear defense line composed of more than 20 people who have cooperated tacitly, even if they encounter a second-level Gold Wolf, they can at least protect themselves. If they are lucky, they may be able to catch a live one, or pick a few Gooseneck Grass or something... They don't understand that many tragedies in this world are because of the word "if"!

The team of confident teenagers set off today. After leaving Wild Wolf Castle, they kept moving towards Crescent Prairie. The teenagers walked all morning. In the afternoon, the straight-line distance from Wild Wolf Castle was more than twenty kilometers. Crescent Prairie was already in sight. Then, they encountered a surprise attack by a group of Giant Wolf. Giant Wolf was hiding in a bush on the hill next to it. When the team of teenagers passed by, six Giant Wolf suddenly appeared, catching the teenagers off guard. Casualties appeared almost instantly. The team of teenagers was cut apart by Giant Wolf, and they began to fight on their own. After a fight, the victorious balance began to tilt towards Giant Wolf.

It was only now, after paying a heavy price in blood, that the teenagers thought of a few simple truths taught to them by their teachers in school.

First, your opponents and enemies will never appear in front of you until you are ready for everything. Even if they appear, their number may not be what you imagine. Even Giant Wolf, which is usually difficult to encounter, may appear in groups.

Second, any creature with a level difference of only one level will have a huge difference in combat effectiveness. Therefore, after you can deal with some zero-level creatures, don't think of a first-level creature as three zero-level creatures piled together. After you can deal with some first-level creatures, don't think of a second-level creature too simply. Behind the levels of all creatures, their strength progresses in a geometric manner.

Third, for a battle, ten seconds may change everything.

Sometimes, the simpler these truths are, the more people have to pay a heavy price to fully understand them. The young people's tragic defeat today, this tragic defeat at the cost of blood and lives, was originally because when Giant Wolf suddenly appeared, God gave them ten consecutive There was not even a second to assemble into a spear formation. If they could have ten seconds to assemble, even if they were facing six first-level Giant Wolf, the current result would not be so tragic. The teenagers thought about too many what-ifs, but in reality there were not so many what-ifs.

After circling the teenagers in the two circles for several times, the remaining five Giant Wolf began to make tentative attacks more and more frequently. These Giant Wolf would often appear to be out of harm's way of their spears, and seemed to be about to pounce. When the teenagers thrust out their spears, they discovered that what Giant Wolf had just done was just a fake move.

The cunning Giant Wolf kept circling around the teenagers trapped in the circle, making tentative attacks while circling. The teenagers' nerves were under high tension. Every time Giant Wolf made a fake move, they would try their best to thrust out their spears. After waving and thrusting out the spears again and again to drive Giant Wolf away, all the teenagers felt that the spears in their hands gradually became heavier.

"Everyone, be careful to maintain your physical strength and attack rhythm. These Giant Wolf are deliberately consuming our physical strength..." Bond, who saw Giant Wolf's plan, shouted.

But Bond's reminder has no effect at this time. On the other side of the circle, as the strength of a young boy's hand becomes weaker and weaker, Giant Wolf, who is making a test attack, after retracting the stabbing spear, Before the new spear struck, he took advantage of such a small flaw in the defensive rhythm of the circle, and suddenly turned the tentative attack into a real attack. He suddenly lowered his body and rushed to the edge of the circle, biting a young man's calf, and dragged the young man to the ground while the young man screamed.

"Abu..." The other teenagers in the circle were so anxious that they stabbed Giant Wolf with their spears like the one biting their companion's calf. Giant Wolf let go, backed away, and then When the teenagers in that circle turned their attention to the boy named Abu, a huge flaw appeared in the entire circle's defense. Another Giant Wolf seized the opportunity and suddenly jumped out and took another mouthful. He bit another boy on the leg and pushed one boy to the ground. The other boys screamed and stabbed the Giant Wolf with their spears. Giant Wolf quickly retreated again, and a defensive circle of seven people was instantly paralyzed. With two people out of the way, a huge hole appeared in the entire defensive circle. At that moment, the other three Giant Wolf who surrounded Bond and their circle suddenly turned around and rushed towards the teenagers in the distance who had been torn apart from the defensive circle.

"No..." Bond shouted...

Seeing three more Giant Wolfs rushing over, the five people standing over there all turned pale. It's over. Now these five people find it extremely difficult to deal with two Giant Wolfs, not to mention the sudden increase of three more...

The five Giant Wolfs are dealing with five guys standing and two lying down, and there are already huge holes in the defense circle. In just a few seconds, no one will be able to stand here. And after the people in this small circle fall, the defense circle that is left with Bonds cannot last long. Giant Wolfs are using tactics to defeat them one by one.

"Fight them..." Bond, with red eyes, took a spear and rushed over after Giant Wolf. No matter what the formation or defensive circle was, instead of being teased by Giant Wolf and then exhausting his energy and tragically dying under the claws of these beasts, it was better to fight while he still had the strength to fight every one.

Everyone understood at this time that the hope that everyone could return to Wild Wolf Castle alive this time was basically zero.

The boy named Abu, who had just been bitten on the calf by Giant Wolf and dragged to the ground, had just struggled to turn over and kneel down despite the pain. He dropped the spear and was about to pull out the dagger from his waist. A Giant Wolf had already turned to his side, opened its mouth and bit his neck...

"Abu, be careful..." shouted the companions who were rushing from a distance. Giant Wolf's sharp canine teeth were already very close to the boy at this time. No one had time to react. Just when everyone thought they were about to watch another companion die in front of them, everyone suddenly heard an angry curse from a distance.

"Beast..."
