  Roar!

  Drawing the Saber!

  The white light disappeared in a flash, and Watanabe made a slashing motion with his hands before returning his blades to their scabbards. The next moment, a hissing sound could be heard from the boulder. Two criss-crossing cracks extended throughout the boulder, and an 'X' shape appeared.

  Kazuo Watanabe extended a finger and lightly poked at the boulder. The boulder immediately cracked and exploded into fragments on the ground, revealing a hole that was around three meters long and wide.

  Japanese swordsman patted the dust off his body, coldly glanced at Zero, and then directly exited the cave.

  Zero paid no attention to his inexplicable contempt. To him, it was better to have someone to do the work for him than to reveal his trump card. Therefore, he carried the Colt tightly on his back and followed behind Jenny out of the hole opened by the swordsman.

  After passing through the cave, Zero noticed that the cut surface of the cave was smooth, it was obvious that Kazuo Watanabe was not just a flower rack. At the very least, in terms of their attainments with swords, Lingcun should not be worse than Su.

  Just as Jenny had said, the other side of the passage was unobstructed. At this time, the howls of wolves and the sounds of gunfire came from the end of the passage. Jenny frowned: "Seems like we have to hurry up, don't miss the good show!"

  Naturally, no one objected to this suggestion. Thus, a few minutes later, at the same time as the fire from the north shook the stadium, three people arrived at the competition hall.

  The center of the hall was charred black. It should be traces left behind by the missile attack. The scorched earth extended all the way to the surrounding grandstands, and only then did the color change from deep to light. The guard rails of the stands were all deformed inwards, and the metal supports showed signs of melting to varying degrees. Many of the seats in the grandstands were sent flying by the shockwave from the explosions, and even those that were still stuck to the ground showed signs of distortions.

  There were more than twenty fragmented wolf corpses lying on the scorched earth. Strangely, in the middle of the scorched earth, there was a circle with a diameter of five meters perfectly intact. It seemed to be incompatible with the surrounding scene of the wreckage. On this perfect piece of ground, a giant wolf with long snow-white fur was fighting with a black ferocious bear!

  Chapter 111 - Slaying King (II)

  The anger in Bryan's chest had almost burnt all of its rationality.

  Even with Bryan's ability, he was only barely able to hold up the elemental field to protect himself from the sudden missile attacks. When the first wave of explosion took away more than twenty of their kind's lives, Bryan ordered the wolves to attack the gymnasium's troops. The Wolf King, on the other hand, leaped to the roof of the stadium and stood between the broken support frames, commanding the wolves to fight.

  A few consecutive missiles from behind the Phoenix City army exploded in the stadium when they landed. However, that was not the case. When they brushed past Bryan's head, they were all wrapped in freezing air by the Wolf King. When they landed on the ground, the explosion might was not even half of their usual strength. The lethality of the attack was reduced due to the high radiation. Only a few unlucky wolves were killed by the explosion.

  The real threat to the human army came from the two cannons that were used on the war countries. The instantaneous impact of a straight line shot was not something that the demonic wolves could defend against. If it hit directly, the huge wolf's body would be smashed into pieces. Fortunately, there was a limited number of cannons, and the single-shot shooting made it impossible for them to form an effective fire suppression. In addition, the shooting trajectory couldn't be adjusted flexibly, which reduced the danger level of the wolves.

  Bryan was at the top of the roof of the stadium. Through the mysterious connection between the king and his tribe, he commanded the wolves to charge into the human defense line. In the gymnasium, the New Wolf King was being born. The significance of the New Wolf King was even higher than that of the entire wolf pack. As long as the Wolf King survived, then even if Bryan's pack of wolves were to be completely annihilated, the New Wolf King would still be able to gather other Finry's wolf.

  Therefore, Bryan had to protect the stadium at all costs.

  However, just as everything seemed to be going smoothly, a sinister and bizarre force field suddenly appeared on its body. Immediately, the connection between Bryan and his clan became fuzzy. Following the appearance of this force field, Bryan's physical body, ability, and other stats began to decline at a slow but visible rate.

  Instantly, the Wolf King knew that it had been set up.

  The one who ambushed Bryan was Zuma, this witch, Indian, was standing in a corner of the competition hall and unleashing her Dark Elemental Su's attack on Wolf King. He was like a Magus from the old era, using her hands and dancing to issue mysterious instructions. At the same time, a black flame appeared on Bryan's body. It was this layer of Su's Dark Elemental that had blurred the connection she had with her race. At the same time, it had been weakened, poisoned, and other kinds of negative effects.

  Bryan who was at the peak of the sky shook his head, from the mental level, a cold wave of thought was released, ruthlessly thrusting towards the caster. But before it could observe the outcome of its attack, a huge hand covered in black hard hair suddenly grabbed its hind leg and forced it down the hall from the top of the sky.

  Bryan, who had freely descended, was ruthlessly smashed into the ground by the immense force. However, due to his muscles and bones being weakened, this strike was not enough to kill the Wolf King, but it had successfully ignited the flames of fury in its heart.

  Bryan looked up into the sky. Unknowingly, a Black Tyrant Bear had appeared at the top of the sky above the competition hall. The Savage Bear used one palm to hook the metal support on top of the sky, while the other palm was aimed at the wolf king, the culprit who had fallen from the sky.

  In the Wolf King's eyes, the Savage Bear's body was wrapped in a strange force field. The use of the force field was to hide and hide, causing Bryan to be unable to sense anything even if it managed to touch him. Otherwise, the Wolf King would not easily let the Tyrant Bear have its way.

  Releasing its hooks, the Savage Bear plummeted towards the Wolf King like a meteor. With a low growl, Bryan's four limbs bounced off the ground, and his entire body shifted horizontally, causing the violent bear to land on the ground.

  After smashing the cracks on the ground, Nessen, who had activated his mutation ability, roared and waved his Giant Spirit Palm towards Bryan. Bryan nimbly slipped past the Savage Bear's palm, turned his body and gave the Savage Bear a deep blue wisp of Frozen Air.

  Absolute Zero!

  Immediately, a half of Nessen's back was covered in light blue ice crystals. But when Bryan still wanted to continue spitting out the frozen air, the eerie energy in its body suddenly strengthened, causing the frozen air in its mouth to become weaker.

  Violent Bear took the opportunity to turn around, and ruthlessly swept his palm across Bryan's head. The Wolf King felt as if it had been hit by a giant boulder. Its body flew up uncontrollably, sliding for three meters before falling to the ground. After rolling a few times, the Wolf King stood up and roared at the Savage Bear. The snow-white long fur on its body stood straight up, ready to pounce at any moment. Suddenly, a white light flashed above his head and a man came slashing down with a sword.

  The blade wind became stronger, Bryan growled, and dodged to the side. The swordsman let out a cry and swung his katana into the air.

  The one who attacked was precisely Kazuo Watanabe. When she, Jenny and Su Yun rushed to the great hall, they just happened to see the huge bear that Nessen had transformed into and the Wolf King fighting fiercely. Kazuo Watanabe immediately used his strange footwork to get closer to the battle. The moment the Wolf King was thrown out by the Tyrannical Bear, he launched his attack at
the same time.

  This time, the blade used was a two meter long katana, it used a unique technique to make the blade fly, but it did not release any sound of wind. Kazuo Watanabe thought that one strike would definitely hit, but he did not expect Bryan's senses to be so sharp, so much so that he was able to slash onto empty air.

  Kazuo Watanabe coldly snorted, and at the same time landed on the ground, he made a rolling motion. He rolled towards the huge wolf like a rolling gourd. At the same time, the half-meter long short blade left its scabbard and followed the body of the wolf, chopping at all kinds of strange angles. The two katars were wrapped with Kazuo Watanabe's attack force field, and even Bryan was not willing to come into contact with them easily.

  As the Wolf King retreated, a furious roar came from behind him. It was the Savage Bear.

  In this difficult time of attack, Bryan let out a world-shaking roar. The Wolf King used all its strength to leap ten meters into the air, causing the Blade Master and Savage Bear's attacks to miss.

  In the air, Bryan opened his mouth, about to use the freezing qi to teach these two attackers a lesson. However, the sharp sound of piercing through the air had no choice but to dispel this idea. Bryan quickly shook his head, allowing a laser arrow to pass through its nose.

  When Bryan landed on the ground again, he immediately looked in the direction of the attacker. Atop the high stand, Jenny was in the midst of drawing the bow. The metal longbow had a string that continuously vibrated, causing Bryan's heart to sink.

  The Wolf King realized that it was in danger and also knew that the humans were determined to get rid of it.

  In front of Bryan, there was this pair of close-combat combinations, the Blade Master and the Savage Bear. In the distance, Jenny's laser arrow and the ambushers who had used the strange Yin force field to attack the wolf king caused him to be distracted and at the same time, added an additional psychological burden on him.

  Other than the two sets, Bryan also saw a person dressed as a soldier. Although that person had not made his move yet, on his body, Bryan could smell the same dangerous scent. What Bryan did not know, however, was that there was still one Sario who had not made his move yet.

  Even so, the four of them had the power to put Bryan to death. It knew that it would not be able to escape today, but no matter what, Bryan would still drag a few people down with him.

  The more powerful the humans were, the safer the New Wolf King would be. The wolf king's amber eyes began to blaze with the desire for death!

  Chapter 112 - Evolution Tide

  Seeing that the team led by Nessen and Kazuo Watanabe had already killed the Wolf King, they started to search for traces of Lala. Although the competition hall was not very obvious, except for the trapped Wolf King and the wolf corpse king, there was no sign of Lara.

  Had Lara been eaten? This thought surfaced in Su Ming's mind. After all, it had been more than 12 hours since Lara had been captured, and that was enough time for a lot of things to happen.

  But before he saw Lara's body, even if it was just a piece of flesh, Zero did not intend to give up.

  The King's Execution indeed didn't need him to take action, in Su Yun's eyes, Phoenix City had a unique insight. In this operation against the Wolf King, the Adepts they chose included the experts in close combat, the experts in concealment, the long-range assaulters, and the wizards in curses. With such a luxurious lineup, no matter how powerful the Wolf King was, it would not be able to escape from the hands of these assassins.

  Even if there was an extra zero, it would just be adding on to the icing on the cake.

  Without any warning, Zero quietly retreated. His departure merely gave Jenny a faint glance, but no one came to stop him from moving alone.

  They circled the competition hall. Lala had been caught by the Wolf King, and the Wolf King was here. If Lara wasn't dead, then she would definitely be hidden away by the Wolf King. For the sake of Lara's unknown value, the Wolf King certainly wouldn't hide her too far from its line of sight, so it used a blanket search method to get rid of her one by one.

  When he arrived at a passageway to the southwest, he noticed a trace of abnormality.

  The wind blowing from the end of the passage had a subtle smell.

  The smell of the Finry's wolf!

  Besides the Wolf King, all the other Finry's wolf s in the gymnasium were fighting with the army outside. Why were there other Finry's wolf s in the gymnasium?

  Furthermore, other than the Finry's wolf's scent, there was also a faint smell of blood in the air, as if a group of Finry's wolf was biting each other.

  Su Yun's heart heavily jumped, and for some reason, the scene of the Gold Devourer devouring each other flashed past his mind. Could it be that the Finry's wolf was like the Gold Devourer, tearing, battling, and devouring to produce new life forms? With this, Zero began to understand why the Wolf King had taken Lara away.

  Since Lala is the new life form of the Gold Devourer, its genes may help create new life forms to correct certain genetic defects. At the same time, Zero also guessed that the reason the Finry's wolf moved so far was because it wanted to give birth to a new life form. When animals are born, they often choose to stay away from their own kind, out of the instinct to protect their offspring.

  Similarly, the reason this pack of wolves would leave their homeland at all, and migrate to the Morin, should be to protect new life forms. If this conclusion was correct, then the migration of the corpses and the's migration all had a reasonable explanation. Whether it was a coincidence or some inevitable reason, these beings in the wilderness were all beginning to prepare for the birth of a new form of life.

  There was going to be a massive evolution in the life forms of the entire wilderness, and Zero could not imagine what it would be like. All they knew was that the humans who had yet to move were bound to have an impact on the position of the overlord of the earth after this massive wave of evolution.

  He had experienced this kind of danger, but it was never as clear as this!

  Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the agitation in his heart. He knew that in the past fifty years of the Cataclysm Day's existence, the second huge impact was about to form. This time, the impact did not come from the outer space, but from the countless living creatures on the surface. Strictly speaking, this was an evolution of life. It should have been a good phenomenon. However, compared to humans who had yet to fully evolve, this was definitely a disaster for humans.

  It was just that right now, he didn't have the time to bother with it. Even a disaster is left to the ruling ranks of mankind to worry about.

  He pushed the distracting thoughts out of his head and cautiously groped his way toward the source of the blood.

  Moments later, Zero stood outside the door of a Blue Ball training field.

  The door was closed, but the sound of heavy breathing could be heard inside. He quietly took off his communicator and camera, trying to make sure he didn't have any electromagnetic fields on him. It had to be known that the mutated organism had a hunting instinct and was sensitive to the electromagnetic fields of living beings. Moreover, these industrial electromagnetic fields were obvious in the eyes of the monsters as if they were lighthouses under the night sky.

  Holding his breath, Zero tried to hide all of his information and then quietly opened the door.

  Inside the door was a dark world, with almost no light source to be seen in the training field. But when the door opened, the smell of blood immediately became as thick as solid matter, seeping straight into Zero's nostrils. "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo …"

  He removed the eye mask from his right eye. The golden eye shined with a golden luster in the darkness. Zero closed his left eye, so the image in the training field of the blue ball appeared in a weak light.

  This was an opportunity for him to discover another function of the golden right eye, Glimmer Vision.

&n
bsp; It was as if the golden eye itself could give off a faint light, allowing Zero to see something even in the total darkness. Naturally, this kind of vision could not compare to perceptual domain's infrared vision. The limit that Zero could see was only three meters, and because of the faint light from the imaging, most of the objects in the field of vision were only blurry figures of light.

  However, this did not prevent Zero from seeing the outline of countless wolf corpses.

  In the training field, there was a floor full of wolf corpses!

  When the revolver came into Zero's hands, he already instinctively sensed a huge danger lurking in the training ground. The danger was naturally not from the dead body, but from the unknown heavy breathing.

  These wolf corpses lying on the ground were in all sorts of strange states of death. However, from their various irregular wounds, it could be seen that most of the wounds of the huge wolves were caused by sharp claws, or were directly torn apart by fangs. No matter how one looked at it, the ones who killed them were their own kind. Judging from the missing flesh or organs from the corpse, it was just as Zero had guessed. The giant wolf had once killed each other and had traces of devouring its companion's flesh.

  Zero was walking like this in the wolf's corpse room. His toes would always accurately land on the ground, so that he wouldn't stumble over the wolf's corpse and make any noise that he shouldn't make. After fumbling for a moment towards the center of the field, there was a strange color flash in the dim light. Zero immediately covered his eyes and opened his left eye.

  In his left eye, a faint green light was seeping out from the dark side of the training field.

  Zero quickly stepped forward.

  It was a blue ball rack, and Lara's plump body was stuffed into the ball frame. The little beast seemed to have fainted, but the diamond-shaped badge on its forehead was emitting a green glow. Zero quickly climbed up and pulled Lara out of the blue frame. Lala regained some of her consciousness. The little beast struggled to open its eyes, and when it saw the zero, it let out a cry before falling unconscious again.
