After taking a punch, the Snow Wolf reacted quickly. Realizing it might be no match for Chubby, it actually knew to avoid his sharp edge, circling straight past him and charging toward Jiang Hao and the two women.
"Damn it!"
As though Chubby's curse had cast a spell, the Snow Wolf lunged at Wen Ruxue, who was closest. Seeing trouble coming, Jiang Hao instinctively stepped forward and shielded her.
"Jiang Hao!"
Amid Wen Ruxue's terrified scream, the Snow Wolf knocked Jiang Hao flat, its sharp claws sinking deep into his shoulders.
"Hiss!"
The Snow Wolf bared its fangs and snarled at Jiang Hao. The foul stench pouring from its mouth nearly carried his soul away.
Just as it was about to bite through Jiang Hao's neck, Chubby's support finally arrived.
"Go fuck yourself!"
Chubby rushed behind the Snow Wolf, grabbed its tail, and swung it up!
With a ripping sound, the claws embedded in Jiang Hao's shoulders tore away great chunks of skin and flesh. Blood spilled down the claw marks, and a heart-piercing agony shot into his brain. It fucking hurt!
The damage this Snow Wolf could inflict was no less than that of the Fog Capital Divine Eagle earlier.
"Jiang Hao, how are you?"
Jiang Hao had shielded her from danger, striking the softest part of Wen Ruxue's heart with a heavy blow and wiping away all her resentment toward him.
She cast a Healing Art on Jiang Hao. Watching his wounds heal at a rate visible to the naked eye, she let out a long breath of relief.
"If you're ever this reckless again, I really won't forgive you for the rest of my life, understand?"
"A man protecting a woman is only natural, and a captain protecting every member of his team is only right. Besides, I promised your mother I'd bring you back in one piece."
"Could you stop chatting for now? I can barely hold on! There are more and more holes, and I can't patch them fast enough!"
Every skill had a cooldown; only its length differed.
No matter how tough the spider silk was, the Snow Wolves would bite or tear through it sooner or later. All Chen Xiaolin could do was use more silk to repair the damaged sections of the web as best he could.
His negligence had gotten Jiang Hao hurt, and Chubby furiously vented his anger on the Snow Wolf in his hands. Gripping its tail, he slammed it around with brute force. The Snow Wolf had a powerful constitution; only after several slams did its head split and bleed.
Its cries of pain enraged its companions outside the web. A wolf's howl pierced the clouds, and an enormous figure suddenly sprang from the darkness.
It was the Snow Wolf King. Unlike the other Snow Wolves, it had black fur and a pair of ghostly blue eyes. Several times larger than the others, it was a hulking beast the size of a wild bull.
The Snow Wolf King rushed up to the web and stared like the god of death at the Snow Wolf in Chubby's hands. "Awooo!"
It seemed to be warning Chubby to release its companion immediately.
Chubby ignored it completely. Right before its eyes, he slammed a palm into the Snow Wolf's skull. With a crack, red and white matter sprayed everywhere.
"Hiss!"
Enraged by Chubby's provocation, the Snow Wolf King slowly hooked its foreclaws into the web, then tore a massive opening in it under Jiang Hao and the others' dumbstruck gazes.
Wasn't this way too strong?!
With that presence and strength, could this be another Mountain Moving Realm demonic beast?
The answer was yes.
This was bad. They really might not escape their doom this time.
The Snow Wolf King stepped through the web, advancing relentlessly. Feeling the intense pressure radiating from its body, even the other Snow Wolves stopped attacking the web and silently watched their leader.
The Snow Wolf King slowly approached the dead Snow Wolf and sniffed it. After confirming it was dead, it abruptly rose upright. Its nearly four-meter-long body stood a good deal taller than even Chubby.
More terrifying still, its body continued swelling, the muscles in its limbs bulging nonstop. After its transformation, the Snow Wolf King was a monster that walked upright, with a hideous face and protruding fangs. Its facial fur had thinned so much that the swollen blood vessels and sinews beneath its skin were visible.
After transforming, the Snow Wolf King roared furiously at Chubby.
Whoosh!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In a dizzying blur, the Snow Wolf King left only streaks of afterimages. Before anyone could see clearly, Chubby's massive merged body was sent flying like a punching bag, struck by one punch after another.
Whenever Chubby was about to fall, it positioned itself precisely beneath him and punched him back into the air.
Luckily, Chubby's beast pet was a defensive type. Otherwise, that brutal beating would have left him dead or grievously wounded. Worse still, he had absolutely no room to fight back under the Snow Wolf King's barrage.
The Snow Wolf King seemed unwilling to kill Chubby with a single blow. Instead, it wanted to torture him to death, controlling its strength just enough to inflict marrow-deep agony without killing him.
Suddenly, the Snow Wolf King stopped attacking. It twisted sharply to evade a long leg sweeping in from the left, then darted forward and cleanly drove a fist into Gongsun Qianxun's lower abdomen as she emerged from Stealth.
Bam!
The tremendous force bent Gongsun Qianxun into a bow. Then she crashed heavily to the ground like a rag doll and immediately lost consciousness.
Jiang Hao: ...
Wasn't this ridiculously overpowered?!
This couldn't continue. If he didn't think of something, they might be beaten straight out of the match.
Jiang Hao rapidly calculated his skills' damage in his head, searching for a way to defeat the Snow Wolf King in the shortest possible time. Compared with the Fog Capital Divine Eagle, this Snow Wolf King seemed a little stronger. Using the Fog Capital Divine Eagle as a benchmark for skill damage, he would need to cast Fireball combined with Wind Orb at least three times before he might deal enough damage to kill it.
Each Fireball cast had a ten-second cooldown, meaning three casts would take half a minute-and that was assuming the Snow Wolf King gave him the chance.
Big Hen's currently available skills were Eagle Strikes the Sky, Shadowless Clone, Thorn Armor's absolute defense effect, and Lure, which would soon finish its cooldown.
As long as Chubby could hold it off for fifteen seconds, he could expend a Shadowless Clone to trick the Snow Wolf King and buy himself a few seconds. He did not need much; five seconds would suffice. Once Lure finished its cooldown, it could buy him even more time. As long as his timing stayed intact, his chances of success were quite good.
Wen Ruxue's Magnetic Field Rally was still active. Jiang Hao could only grit his teeth and give it a try.
Having subdued Gongsun Qianxun with one blow, the Snow Wolf King turned its gaze back to Chubby.
Seeing this, Jiang Hao shouted, "Chubby, hold it off for me!"
Chubby understood, a flash of resolve crossing his eyes. Even if he had to withdraw from the match, he would make this demonic beast that had battered him pay a terrible price. He absolutely would!
After hearing Jiang Hao's call, he advanced instead of retreating, charging right up to the Snow Wolf King and delivering a Heavy Strike.
At the same time, two eggs bounced along one after the other, reached the Snow Wolf King's back, and burst.
A max-level Wind Orb combined with Six-Shot Fireball.
The Snow Wolf King seemed to sense the danger. Ignoring Chubby's Heavy Strike, it twisted away and darted more than ten meters off, thinking this would let it evade the skills' damage.
Unexpectedly, the Wind Orb and six fireballs followed close behind with long trailing tails, as though they had eyes.
A succession of fireballs exploded against its body!
-
1350-
1350-
1400-
1450-
1500-
1550-
1600
Rows of enormous damage numbers rose above the Snow Wolf King's head.
The explosions left the Snow Wolf King stunned. It still could not understand how these things had hit it when it had dodged so far away.
You're making me lose face here, you know! And when it discovered that its attacker was actually a strange Big Hen, the Snow Wolf King's rage instantly hit its limit. Abandoning Chubby, it charged toward Big Hen.
"Trying to leave? Fight your grandpa for another three hundred rounds!"
Chubby roared and, heedless of death, threw his arms around the Snow Wolf King.
A figure rushed in and bit toward the Snow Wolf King's neck.
It was the Catgirl, Yang Qingliu.
Enraged, the Snow Wolf King first sent Chubby flying with an elbow strike, then swiped a claw at Yang Qingliu. Not daring to meet it head-on, she turned and fled. Her aim was not to injure the enemy, merely to buy Jiang Hao time.
With that brief delay, ten seconds quickly passed.
Another two eggs bounced toward the Snow Wolf King. This time, it had wised up. It abandoned its attack on Yang Qingliu and darted behind her, thinking this would let it avoid the incoming attack.
You could call it clever for knowing to hide like that, but it had seriously underestimated Big Hen's passive skill, Hen and Eggs in Ruin. It came with built-in GPS targeting-how scary was that?!
Sure enough, the Wind Orb and six fireballs curved around Yang Qingliu as though they had eyes, ultimately blasting the Snow Wolf King!
"Awooo!"
Snow Wolf King: ( ◣◢)
Swatting Yang Qingliu away, the Snow Wolf King glared furiously. At that moment, it wanted nothing more than to hack this hateful Big Hen into eight pieces.
Chubby tried to rush over and stop it again, but the Snow Wolf King darted several times, leaving streaks of afterimages as it appeared before Big Hen.
"Hiss!" Die, you trash chicken!
One slap instantly flattened Big Hen. Yes, you read that right: Big Hen became a paper-thin chicken.
Satisfied, the Snow Wolf King lifted its head and let out a long howl to vent its emotions. But before it could enjoy itself for long, the paper-thin chicken on the ground abruptly returned to her original shape.
"Cluck-cluck, cluck-cluck!"
Terrified, Big Hen beat her wings and flew high.
She actually survived?
The Snow Wolf King reacted extremely quickly too, leaping into the air to intercept her.
"Xiaolin!" Seeing that the blow had not triggered Thorn Armor's absolute defense effect on Big Hen, Jiang Hao turned deathly pale and instinctively called out to Chen Xiaolin.
Chen Xiaolin flicked his hand and shot out a strand of spider silk. He did not aim at the Snow Wolf King, knowing it would have no effect on it whatsoever. Instead, he shot it at Big Hen and yanked her straight back to the ground from beneath the Snow Wolf King's claws.
Having lost its target, the Snow Wolf King followed close behind, determined to wipe out this hateful trash chicken in one stroke before it would be satisfied.
At that moment, Song Jie finally found a chance to charge in front of the Snow Wolf King. Even if he was a mantis raising its arms against a chariot, he pressed forward without hesitation.
The result was predictable. Song Jie could not withstand even one of its blows before he was swatted away.
Another ten seconds passed.
