Prepare for Battle!
"Vomit--"
Unable to endure the overwhelming visual and olfactory impact any longer, Ye Lingling suddenly bent over and vomited violently, her delicate body trembling violently, and even the light of the Nine Heart Begonia became disordered.
Hu Liena and Dugu Yan were ashen-faced, covering their mouths tightly as they struggled to suppress the nausea churning within them.
Even Xie Yue and Yan, who were used to seeing battles, were now bloodshot, their fists clenched so tightly they cracked, their eyes burning with raging fury, and their teeth almost grinding to Crunch —these beasts!
"Vast Sea Protective Shroud!"
Lin Xia's voice was icy cold, devoid of any warmth, yet it carried an undeniable decisiveness.
The Blue Triangle Mark between his eyebrows suddenly lit up, and the deep blue light spread out like ripples, perfectly enveloping the seven people and the small area beneath their feet.
With a flash of light, the scene that had vanished in the courtyard reappeared; the figures and auras of the seven people had completely disappeared, as if they had merged into the air.
"Follow the trail of blood!"
Lin Xia spoke in a low voice, which was clearly transmitted within the protective shield.
Suppressing their anger and physical discomfort, the group, under the perfect protection of the Vast Sea Protective Shroud, moved like invisible Ghost type, following the shocking dark red bloodstains left by the dragged corpses on the ground, swiftly and silently pursuing them into the mountains.
The mountains ahead are not high, but the vegetation is exceptionally dense, with ancient trees reaching for the sky and vines Wrap, forming a natural Barrier.
The bloodstains snaked their way deeper, like a signpost pointing to hell. Soon, through the gaps in the layers of branches and leaves, a relatively open clearing in the woods appeared before them.
The sight in the center of the open space caused the pupils of everyone inside the protective barrier to shrink again!
Hundreds of villagers' corpses were piled up haphazardly like firewood, forming a mountain of corpses that exuded a strong aura of death!
The smell of blood was so strong it was almost tangible.
The surviving women were driven to a corner of the open space, where they huddled together, and it was from there that their desperate cries came.
Around the open space, more than three hundred monsters resembling savages were gathered.
Most of the monsters appeared unusually excited, emitting low, beast-like "hoarse" sounds from their throats as they paced back and forth around the pile of corpses and the women, their eyes filled with primal greed and savagery.
Some of the monsters were even busier—they were using crude stone axes or bone blades to brutally dissect relatively "fresh" corpses, tearing off large chunks of flesh and stuffing them bloodily into their mouths to chew, making teeth-grinding chewing sounds and satisfied roars!
Other monsters used spears to lift the corpses of children or young men and circled a simple stone platform in the center of the open space, covered with strange symbols, as if performing some kind of bloody and barbaric sacrificial ritual!
"It's Wolf Bandit!"
Lin Xia's deep voice, carrying an icy chill, echoed within the protective barrier, revealing the identities of these monsters to everyone.
After merging with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, his knowledge seemed to have received some kind of mysterious supplement.
"An extremely ferocious half-human, half-beast creature! A monster born from the union of Gale Demon Wolf and a human woman! It inherits the wolf's bloodlust, strength, and speed, as well as cunning and social instincts far exceeding those of wild beasts! They are utterly devoid of humanity, living on killing and plunder, and especially enjoy... torturing and eating humans!"
Just as Lin Xia finished speaking, at the edge of the open space, a particularly tall and burly Wolf Bandit with dark blue fur seemed to have Frisk something.
It abruptly stopped tearing at the human arm in its hand, its blood-stained nose twitched violently a few times, and its gray-green, fierce eyes, filled with suspicion, sharply swept towards the direction where Lin Xia and the others were hiding!
His eyes were filled with a wild, predatory alertness!
"Roar--!"
A threatening and warning roar rolled out from deep within its throat, instantly silencing the noisy clearing.
All the Wolf Bandit stopped what they were doing and turned their heads in unison. Hundreds of pairs of eyes, flashing with a ferocious red light, focused like searchlights on the location of the Vast Sea Protective Shroud!
Although they cannot see or perceive its existence, the feeling of being spied on, and the extremely faint, almost non-existent "anomaly" in the air, are enough to provoke the fury of these bloodthirsty creatures!
"Prepare for battle!"
Lin Xia's voice was resolute, and the blue flames in her eyes instantly reached their peak.
He knew that hiding was pointless; the time for slaughter had come!
With a thought, the blue light of the Vast Sea Protective Shroud instantly receded and dissipated, and the figures of the group appeared out of thin air, exposed to the bloodthirsty gaze of the Wolf Bandit!
Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, Dugu Yan, these four battle-hardened Soul Master, did not hesitate at all, and did not even need to exchange glances.
A burst of Soul Power erupted, and the Martial Soul instantly possessed the body!
Behind Hu Liena, a huge phantom of Demon Fox flashed by. A pink light enveloped her entire body, her fox tail swayed, and her eyes gleamed with a Charm yet dangerous light. Her figure was like a pink phantom as she charged towards the Wolf Bandit.
"Charm!"
An invisible Psywave instantly spread, enveloping the source of the chaotic aura sensed within the village.
Several gray figures, baring their fangs and peeking out from behind the collapsed houses, suddenly froze, their fierce glint replaced by confusion.
Xie Yue followed closely behind, and two enormous Moon Blade, gleaming with a chilling light, appeared in his hands. The blades hummed and whistled as they tore through the air.
His figure, like Gui Mei blending into the shadows, took advantage of the brief opening created by Hu Liena's Charm and instantly cut in!
"Moon Blade - Whirlwind!"
The Moon Blade drew two chilling arcs, its cold light flashing!
Pfft!
Pfft!
Two enormous heads covered in gray mane shot into the sky, and foul-smelling blood gushed out of the headless necks like fountains.
Yan's roar was like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
"You scum! Die!"
His entire body was engulfed in blazing dark red flames, his Martial Soul, the Flame Lord, possessing him, making him appear like a giant emerging from lava. He clenched his fists and slammed them into the ground with immense force!
"Hell Magma Rush!"
Boom!
Centered on the point where his fists landed, the violent fiery Soul Power erupted like a volcano, and dark red magma pillars carrying debris and scorching air shot into the sky, instantly engulfing several Wolf Bandit who were trying to pounce on him!
The piercing screams were drowned out by the explosions of flames, and the air was instantly filled with the pungent Stench of burning flesh and blood.
Dugu Yan snorted coldly. Medusa's phantom coiled behind her, her green hair flying, and a cold, snake-like light flashing in her eyes.
She didn't charge directly into the battle, but gracefully raised her hand, her fingertips glowing with green light.
"Snake Kiss!"
Several arrows of condensed, almost tangible purple venom were silently fired, precisely Infiltrator the throats of two Wolf Bandit who were attempting to ambush Yan from the side.
The venom instantly Corrosion their flesh, and the two Wolf Bandit couldn't even scream. Hissing white smoke rose from their throats, their bodies convulsed violently, and they collapsed, their skin rapidly turning a bizarre purplish-black.
Lin Xia watched her companions' Thunderous Might attack with icy eyes.
With a thought, a huge green figure, accompanied by a powerful life force, instantly appeared beside him— Venusaur!
