Chapter 9 The Terrifying Bone-Spiked Wolf
Tong Kun led the way, followed by Geng Jun and Yan Bin, then Jiang Han, Feng Ling, and Mu Yuxin, with Xing Lei bringing up the rear.
The group cautiously approached the cave, and finally, taking advantage of a moment when the one-eyed wolf was wandering around, they quietly entered the cave. The cave was pitch black, and since they had sneaked in, they dared not use light magic to illuminate it.
As Yan Bin walked slowly, a "crack" sound suddenly came from under his feet. He looked down into the dark cave and couldn't see what he was stepping on. So he reached out and touched it. The thing he stepped on was quite long, with rounded ends and a slightly prickly break in the middle.
"Okay, okay, it looks like human bones," Yan Bin stammered.
Tong Kun and Geng Jun both reached out and touched the skeleton. It really was human bones. Suddenly, Feng Ling seemed to sense something and looked into the depths of the cave. There were three green eyes staring at them.
"Captain, Sister Yuxin, there seem to be Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolves over there," Fengling said, her voice trembling.
Tong Kun, Geng Jun, Yan Bin, Xing Lei, and Mu Yuxin all looked into the depths of the cave, meeting the gazes of the three green eyes, one of which was a vertical eye.
"Oh no! It's a Bone-Spurged Wolf! Geng Jun, Uncle Xing, Guangyao Lighting!" Tong Kun was the first to react, shouting.
After Geng Jun and Xing Lei realized what was happening, they each released their own light, illuminating the entire cave. Everyone could clearly see that the cave was filled with bones, and at the deepest part of the cave was a huge silver wolf. The wolf's head was as big as an ox, and silver, tooth-like bones extended from its head to its back, which was quite terrifying!
Yan Bin held his breath and exclaimed in horror, "Is this the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf? It's so huge!"
Awooo!!!
A tremendous wolf howl erupted from the Bone-Spiked Wolf's mouth, creating a powerful gust of air that swirled within the cave, carrying a strong, pungent stench that nearly knocked Jiang Han and Tong Kun unconscious.
It was terrifying, absolutely terrifying. The wolf's howl alone was so frightening that it stunned everyone except Jiang Han.
Jiang Han calmly examined the massive body of the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf, thinking to himself, "Is this the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf? It does look rather terrifying. With the amplification from Kun Lei and Kan Bing, I should be able to put up a fight."
"Retreat! Retreat now!!!" Tong Kun shouted.
It takes several novice mages to kill a single servant-level one-eyed demon wolf. As for the Bone Spike Wolf in the cave, it is not even in the same league as the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat and the One-Eyed Demon Wolf they encountered. The Bone Spike Wolf, which is at the warrior level, is a huge disaster for their Bloodfrost Demon Hunting Team.
The Bloodfrost Demon Hunting Team members quickly realized what was happening and hastily retreated outside, not daring to linger.
As soon as they emerged from the cave, they were surrounded by more than a dozen one-eyed demon wolves. The bone-spiked wolves inside the cave also stepped out, each step giving the feeling of the earth shaking.
Tong Kun, the most powerful member of the team, rushed to the front to clear the way. In his spiritual world, the stars connected to form star trails, and those star trails intertwined to create a magnificent star map that appeared beneath Tong Kun's feet.
This is the star map, the star map for releasing intermediate-level magic!
But at this moment, no one was interested in appreciating the magnificent star map; they were all warily watching the one-eyed demon wolf at the cave entrance.
"Fierce Fist - Heaven-Shattering Strike!!!"
The immense demonic energy within Tong Kun's body surged wildly, engulfing his entire body in raging flames. The flames enveloping Tong Kun's fist were unleashed with a fierce strike, followed by a massive burst of flames that resembled a giant fist.
A surge of powerful fiery energy roared forth, and the first few one-eyed demon wolves were the first to come into contact with the enormous fiery fist. Under the scorching heat of the fist, several one-eyed demon wolves were reduced to ashes.
Two tiny, eerie blue lights, like fireflies and as small as candle flames, flew out from the ashes of the one-eyed demon wolf. As if attracted by something, they flew into Jiang Han's brow. Due to the special circumstances, no one else noticed this scene.
"Ding, you have obtained two Servant-level Essences."
Oh, and there's an unexpected surprise! Jiang Han's eyes lit up after hearing the system notification.
Jiang Han knew about demon essences; they were valuable items that could enhance stardust particles and strengthen one's magical skills.
"Please select the target to enhance: Ice or Lightning."
"Ice type".
After Jiang Han made his choice, he noticed that the stardust in the ice-type stardust in his spiritual world was extremely excited and overjoyed.
After Tong Kun blasted a path with his fierce fist, he shouted, "Go! Get out of here quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a one-eyed demon wolf swung its paw at Tong Kun. If it had been caught, there was a high chance that several of his ribs would have been broken. Xing Lei reacted very quickly.
"Water Guardian - Protector!!"
"Tidal Wave - Drive Away!!"
A stream of water materialized in the air and gathered in front of Tong Kun to form a water shield. Another surging column of water ambushed Tong Kun, sending him flying and crashing to the ground to his death.
Yan Bin placed his hands on the ground, and the originally flat ground transformed into a horizontal elevator, moving the one-eyed demon wolf that was close to them to a distance.
As everyone was running away, Mu Yuxin couldn't resist teasing Jiang Han, saying, "Little brother Jiang Han, don't be afraid, your sister will protect you."
"What time is it? You still have time to chat?" Tong Kun scolded.
"Okay, I understand."
Mu Yuxin replied while winking at Jiang Han, making Jiang Han a little shy.
With everyone's help, the group killed four or five more one-eyed demon wolves before escaping from the cave. Not long after Jiang Han and the others ran out, the massive body of the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf also emerged from the cave.
"Awooo!!!"
A loud wolf howl echoed throughout the area, and many one-eyed demon wolves in the mountains responded to the howl of the bone-spiked wolf.
Jiang Han and his group had only escaped from the cave a short distance when they clearly heard a loud wolf howl. After hearing the howl, everyone's expression turned grim.
"Oh no, it's the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf summoning the surrounding One-Eyed Demon Wolves!" Xing Lei explained anxiously.
Yan Bin said with a face full of guilt, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. If I hadn't accidentally startled the Bone-Spiked Wolf in the cave, none of this would have happened."
"It's not your fault. If I hadn't suggested taking on this exploration mission, none of this would have happened. It's my responsibility." Mu Yuxin also looked full of guilt.
Tong Kun glanced at Yan Bin and Mu Yuxin, then said calmly, "Alright, now is not the time for everyone to take responsibility. Let's hurry up and leave this place first."
While Yan Bin, Mu Yuxin, and Tong Kun were talking, Jiang Han noticed that a series of dark figures were gathering in the forest not far away. The number of dark figures was increasing, and they could even see that the dark figures had revealed a scarlet and cruel look in their eyes. Those scarlet eyes were like stars hidden in the forest.
"Awoo~, Awoo!!!"
The howls of wolves echoed through the mountains and forests, as they collectively raised their heads and roared towards the sky.
Jiang Han roughly calculated that at least a hundred one-eyed demon wolves had gathered during this period, and Jiang Han and his group might all perish in the primeval forest outside Bo City.
Damn it, I never expected to encounter something like this on my first mission. I'm really unlucky.
