Chapter 1283
Seeing the giant wolf-tooth club about to smash the wolf's head to pieces, a shocking scene appeared. 【Web】
This wolf beast suddenly released a faint green light from its body, then its body twisted, and its size instantly shrank by more than half, becoming the same size as an ordinary green wolf.
The wolf-tooth club brushed past the top of the wolf's head and hit empty air, while this green wolf's emerald green eyes flashed with strange light, and with a flick of its tail, its speed suddenly increased by several times, passing the burly man and grabbing fiercely at the military officer opposite.
"Demon Wolf!"
The military officer saw the strange change of the green wolf and lost his voice in surprise. Then, without thinking, he moved his arm, and the long sword hanging at his waist appeared in his hand somehow.
Then, a pale white spiritual light flashed on a spirit tool ring on his hand, and the long sword turned into pieces of sword shadows, protecting himself within them.
This inconspicuous military officer actually had a low-tier spirit tool on him.
The wolf demon, which had transformed into an ordinary giant wolf, saw this sword shadow formed by the low-tier spirit tool, but a look of disdain flashed in its eyes. Its two front claws just waved in the void quickly, and instantly countless green claw lights appeared in the sky, shrouding the military officer.
Those sword shadows touched the claw lights and dissipated and vanished in a burst of explosions, unable to resist at all. The light net formed by the green light only paused slightly before falling.
The military officer covered inside, although he slashed toward the air with his sword in one hand, it was just a final blow before death, and his face had already turned gray and white.
But just then, the military officer only felt a figure flash in front of him, and another person rushed into the claw net somehow. Then came a cold snort, which was not loud, but as soon as it entered his ears, it seemed to ring in his ears like a bell, making him dizzy and then shocked in his heart.
Then the figure seemed to move one hand, and a piece of golden light met the claw lights.
With a loud rumbling sound, those green claw lights shattered in the golden light and turned into nothingness.
The military officer was overjoyed. Looking closely, he finally saw the person in front of him clearly; it was Han Li, another man responsible for guarding him, who was slowly retracting a pair of fists glowing with golden light, his face expressionless.
Han Li was retracting his golden-glowing fists into his sleeves, staring indifferently at the green demon wolf floating in mid-air, his face expressionless.
This demon wolf stopped its pouncing momentum and also sized Han Li up with a suspicious gaze. The green hard hair on its back actually stood up for the most part, as if it were exceptionally wary of Han Li.
Although this demonic beast couldn't see Han Li's cultivation level, its sensitive spiritual sense told it that the human in front of it was extremely dangerous and seemed to have the ability to hurt its life, so it couldn't help but hesitate.
After the burly man's attack missed, he was also startled when he saw the demon wolf's transformation, and immediately turned around, facing the demon wolf again like a great enemy.
In this way, he happened to form a pincer attack with Han Li, and other body cultivators from the Tian Dong Trading Firm also rushed over, and they could immediately surround this demon.
The wolf demon swept its gaze left and right, stared deeply at Han Li, and suddenly twisted its body, rushing straight at the burly man in a green light.
Du Xiao was startled, held the wolf-tooth club in front of him, and couldn't help but step aside.
As a result, the wolf demon just feinted, and its escape light flew over the burly man's head, then jumped directly off the city wall. The other giant wolves that had pounced together, except for one that was killed on the spot, also jumped off the city wall and fled.
Han Li stood in place without any intention of chasing.
Although he had no magic power, he couldn't raise any interest in chasing and killing this kind of low-tier demonic beast he wouldn't have looked at in the past.
The military officer who had escaped death calmed down and was extremely grateful to Han Li, thanking him repeatedly.
"Many thanks to you, brother, for saving me; otherwise, my life would really not be saved."
Han Li heard this, sighed, and waved his hand:
"Although I saved you, there are other demon wolves appearing in other places, which seems not very good."
"Impossible, how could so many demon wolves appear." The military officer surnamed Xiao was startled and hurriedly looked toward the city wall.
As a result, his face turned pale again.
He saw that four or five adjacent sections of the city wall were all in chaos, and thousands of green wolves had rushed onto these city walls. And above the city walls, several demon wolves emitting light were floating there, looking exactly the same as the one that had escaped from them.
It was not only Han Li and the military officer surnamed Xiao who saw this scene; the Tian Dong Trading Firm and ordinary soldiers all saw it, and everyone's heart sank. Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill and have such a thought:
"Could this city really be breached!"
Just when everyone was at a loss and the guards on the city wall had suffered heavy casualties and were about to lose their ability to resist, suddenly a series of horn sounds rang out from each city wall, and then hundreds of agile body cultivators suddenly emerged from behind the chaotic city wall.
They were all wearing strange-looking bone armor, and their hands were holding various knives and swords, all flashing with spiritual light, actually all low-tier spirit tools.
As soon as they rushed onto the city wall, they were like tigers entering a flock of sheep when facing the green wolves, unstoppable. As long as the glowing knives and swords were swung, the green wolves in front of them were definitely cut into two, as if they were nothing.
Even if some mutated giant wolves were exceptionally fierce and could block them head-on, they were immediately dismembered by five people swarming up.
The demon wolves in the air saw this and were naturally furious, wanting to make some moves, but more than a dozen body cultivators among these armored soldiers flew up first and surrounded these demon wolves.
Just then, another long wolf howl came from behind the wolf herd under the city.
Upon hearing this howl, these demon wolves hesitated and flew away one after another, not making any contact with these body cultivators.
The ordinary wolf beasts remaining on the city wall also began to retreat amid the howls, jumping off the city wall one after another in a scramble.
Although those body cultivators chased and killed them for a while, they still let more than half of the wolf beasts escape.
Not only these few city walls, but the wolf herds in other places also stopped attacking and retreated slowly. The beast herd actually ended the first day of tentative major battle like this.
In this battle, both the wolf herd and humans suffered damage, but overall, it seemed that the beast herd suffered a small loss, with the number of dead green wolves reaching more than one hundred thousand. However, although the casualties of personnel in this battle were minimal, a large amount of arrows and defensive equipment had been consumed. Whether it was the human side that had the upper hand was really not easy to say!
At this time, seven crescent moons appeared in the sky simultaneously. Under the bright moonlight, the furry wolf corpses covered the city wall in a thick layer, and from the dark distance where the wolf herd had retreated, howls of wolves looking at the moon came from time to time.
It was just that there was no more madness in the howls, but rather a kind of unspeakable sorrow and desolation.
The huge wolf herd disappeared without a trace in the cold moonlight like this.
The soldiers who had fought hard on the city wall for most of the day finally let out a long sigh of relief, and regardless of the bloodstains on the city wall, they sat on the ground in extreme exhaustion, and some who were too tired even intended to fall into a deep sleep.
Even those body cultivators who specifically practiced body cultivation techniques were also exhausted from swinging their weapons continuously and intended to rest for a while.
"Don't lie down; this is not a place to sleep. The people replacing us will be up in a while. We have survived the first battle. If there are no accidents, we can go back and rest for two days. After the replacement personnel arrive, everyone can return to their residences and rest properly. Now, everyone must pull themselves together. If the wolf herd suddenly returns, we will definitely have big problems in our current state." The military officer surnamed Xiao didn't dare to relax at all and urged them like this.
Hearing that they could go back to rest, the soldiers and the people from the Tian Dong Trading Firm were overjoyed, recovered some spirit, and stood up reluctantly.
Han Li hadn't made many moves, so he naturally didn't have any fatigue, just leaning against a crenel of the city wall, looking at the dark distance where the wolf herd had retreated, his gaze flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Brother Han, this time it's thanks to you for scaring away the demon wolf. Otherwise, we would have ended up like the guards in other places." Zhang Kui walked toward Han Li and said with a smile from afar.
He was holding a golden short sword in one hand, and half of the armor plates on his body were stained with blood, clearly having killed many green wolves in the previous slaughter.
"It's nothing, it's just that I happened to run into the wolf herd wanting to retreat." Han Li swept his gaze over Zhang Kui and appeared very calm.
"But if it weren't for Brother Han's move, I'm afraid that even if the 'Spirit Team' of Anyuan City came to help, we would have suffered heavy casualties. This is also thanks to Brother Han; if it were someone else, they really wouldn't be able to deal with the demon wolf alone. Even if I possessed the Golden Glow Sword, my chance of winning against it wouldn't exceed thirty percent." Zhang Kui smiled bitterly, then flipped his palm, and an exquisite scabbard appeared in his hand. He carefully put the short sword away, and tucked it into his bosom, sword and scabbard together.
Han Li subconsciously looked at this spirit tool.
He already knew that these so-called spirit tools were actually a kind of special magic tool designed by cultivators for body cultivators. By borrowing special excitation devices like "spirit rings" and "spirit bracelets," they could directly introduce the spiritual energy from the spirit stones on the devices into the spirit tools, temporarily stimulating their power.
Although the power of spirit tools was not bad, they could only rely on the power of spirit stones, could not be refined, and could not be used for long-term combat, and the consumption of spirit stones was also extraordinary. Therefore, they were not something ordinary body cultivators could use.
However, because the power of spirit tools could reach the level of top-grade spirit tools at most, far inferior to true treasures, truly high-tier body cultivators instead disdained these spirit tools. They believed more that their own powerful physical bodies were the best weapons. On this point, it coincided with the ideas of some demon cultivators of the demon race.
Just as Han Li was flashing the information about spirit tools through his mind, Zhang Kui fell silent for a while, then suddenly said a sentence with a strange expression.
Hearing this, Han Li felt a chill in his heart.
