Chapter 36: Xiao Jiu

In an instant, all the Mutant Wolves lunged fiercely at the Mutant Zombies.

Chen Yusheng quickly discovered that these Mutant Wolves were extremely cunning; most were merely feinting, pretending to lunge only to pull back and retreat halfway through.

Because of this, many Mutant Zombies were lured into chasing after them.

The Zombie Group that had been protecting Chen Yusheng and the little girl Zombie King instantly became significantly thinner.

And those Mutant Zombies that chased out were immediately surrounded and slaughtered by a pack of Mutant Wolves the moment they were isolated.

The combat power of these Mutant Wolves was no weaker than that of the strength-type Mutant Zombies. The force of a strength-type Mutant Zombie's punch, capable of punching through an Armored Vehicle, only caused minor injuries when it struck a Mutant Wolf.

Yet, the muscles of the Mutant Zombies, which even ordinary bullets could not penetrate, were easily torn apart by the sharp fangs of the Mutant Wolves.

What was even more troublesome was that the Mutant Wolves didn't just lunge and bite; they could also spit fireballs, shoot ice arrows, and unleash wind blades from their mouths—an endless variety of supernatural abilities.

"Tell your zombies not to chase!" Chen Yusheng immediately ordered the little girl Zombie King.

The number of Mutant Zombies was already lower than that of the Mutant Wolves.

In just this short moment, the three Mutant Zombies that had chased out had already been torn to pieces alive by the wolf pack.

The little girl Zombie King was not stupid either; she immediately restrained all the Mutant Zombies, forbidding any further pursuit.

But since the zombies wouldn't chase, they could only stand in place, forced to endure the various supernatural attacks from the Mutant Wolves, becoming living targets.

Fortunately, the physique of the giant zombies was sufficiently formidable; as long as they weren't hit by several supernatural abilities simultaneously, it wasn't that easy to kill them easily.

Within the chaotic Zombie Group, Chen Yusheng's gaze was locked firmly onto a wolf that was taller and more ferocious than all the other Mutant Wolves.

This one was definitely the Wolf King.

Yet this Wolf King was exceptionally cautious, letting only the other wolves rush up to attack while it remained huddled over ten meters away, watching.

Chen Yusheng wanted to condense the Yin-Yang Lightning Technique to launch a sneak attack, but this distance was truly awkward.

The Yin-Yang Lightning Technique had immense power, but it had a several-second wind-up; once unleashed, there was basically only one chance.

Either use the Thunder Method to finish off a few ordinary Mutant Wolves, but once the Wolf King saw its power, it would definitely turn and run.

Or strike and kill the Wolf King directly, and perhaps even take the opportunity to fire another shot to clear out the ordinary wolf pack.

Chen Yusheng did not hesitate; he chose to slaughter the Wolf King first.

But the Wolf King's vigilance was too high, and it kept hiding over ten meters away; at this distance, Chen Yusheng had no confidence that the Thunder Method would definitely hit.

The forest was full of trees and wild beasts that could attract lightning, causing too much interference.

If they were in open terrain like a desert, this distance would be no problem at all. But in the forest, he only had full confidence of a hit if the Wolf King approached within five meters.

"How can I lure the Wolf King over?"

Chen Yusheng's brain raced.

After the little girl Zombie King made all the Mutant Zombies stop their pursuit, the group of Mutant Wolves before them were all using supernatural abilities to bombard the zombies from afar, and not a single one dared to rush up for close-quarters biting.

Moreover, the Mutant Wolves were ridiculously fast, so fast that even agility-type Mutant Zombies couldn't catch up.

Under these circumstances, even if he ordered the zombies to rush out to kill, they wouldn't be able to touch a single hair on the wolves.

"Xiao Jiu, make your zombies charge in the direction of that Wolf King." Chen Yusheng stroked the little girl Zombie King's head and whispered the order.

Xiao Jiu was the nickname Chen Yusheng had given the little girl Zombie King; her full name was Chen Hongyue.

The moon in this world was red, so Chen Yusheng had named her Hongyue.

As for the nickname Xiao Jiu, it was because she was the ninth Mutant Zombie Chen Yusheng had subdued.

The first was called Dali, then there was Lao Liu and the others, eight in total; the little girl Zombie King happened to be the ninth, so she was called Xiao Jiu.

"Hiss!" Hearing Chen Yusheng's command, Xiao Jiu immediately let out a sharp hiss.

The next second, all the Mutant Zombies charged fiercely toward the direction of the Wolf King.

Chen Yusheng and Xiao Jiu each rode on the back of an agility-type Mutant Zombie, advancing along with the Zombie Group.

On the other side, seeing this formation, the Wolf King immediately tilted its head and let out a howl.

Instantly, the entire wolf pack began to launch even more violent attacks while crazily lunging at the Mutant Zombies.

As for the Wolf King itself, it greased its feet and retreated rapidly.

"Lao Liu indeed."

Seeing the Wolf King only caring about running away, Chen Yusheng couldn't help but complain in his heart.

This Wolf King was too cunning; wanting to kill it was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yusheng decided to try a long-range attack.

He immediately pinched the incantation gesture, and a few seconds later, a bolt of lightning as thick as a little finger shot out suddenly.

The lightning was extremely fast, flying over ten meters away in the blink of an eye, but it struck a tree fiercely, then continued to strike several large trees along the trunk, yet it failed to touch a single hair on the Wolf King.

Where the lightning struck the trees, high-temperature flames ignited instantly.

The first two tree trunks were directly vaporized by the high heat and collapsed with a crash.

This scene terrified the Wolf King, a look of intense fear appearing in its eyes, and its escape speed surged instantly.

"Awoo!"

The Wolf King let out a wild howl, ordering all the wolves to retreat together.

Seeing that the first shot of the Thunder Method had missed, Chen Yusheng immediately condensed the Yin-Yang Lightning again.

A few seconds later, another bolt of Yin-Yang Lightning roared out; this time he didn't aim at the Wolf King, but instead targeted a few ordinary Mutant Wolves that hadn't managed to run far yet.

Crackle—

The distance was only a few meters, so the hit rate was much higher.

The Thunder Method instantly connected the bodies of four Mutant Wolves.

The first wolf's entire body smoked violently and it fell to the ground on the spot, a large patch of flesh and blood carbonized directly by the lightning.

The second wolf had less smoke but was also electrocuted to death on the ground.

The third and fourth wolves suffered lighter injuries; the third was still electrocuted to death, and although the fourth was still alive, its entire body had been severely damaged by the lightning, and it couldn't even stand up, its breathing so weak it was almost invisible.

The power of Chen Yusheng's Yin-Yang Lightning Technique was truly terrifying; it could kill four Mutant Wolves, a type of ferocious beast, in a single strike, with shocking lethality.

It was no wonder that after witnessing this strike, the Wolf King did not hesitate in the slightest and immediately ordered a retreat.

Swish, swish, swish—

Chen Yusheng had just used his lightning art to kill four Mutant Wolves, and before he could continue gathering lightning, the remaining Mutant Wolves had already dived deep into the forest, running until they were nowhere to be seen.

Chen Yusheng looked in the direction where the wolf pack had vanished and sighed softly.

This pack of Mutant Wolves was too shrewd and too cunning; wanting to wipe them all out was almost impossible.

This was the real world, not the kind of monsters in online games that would keep charging until they were dead.

Mutant monsters had their own thoughts and would weigh the pros and cons; once they felt an attack would cost them a heavy price, they would immediately stop and retreat.

Riding on the back of the agility-type Mutant Zombie, Chen Yusheng suddenly felt an exceptionally intense gaze land on him.

He turned his head abruptly and happened to meet a pair of scarlet eyes.

It was the little girl Zombie King, Xiao Jiu.

At this moment, Xiao Jiu was staring at Chen Yusheng, her expression extremely complex.

There was shock, fear, admiration, and deep awe; various emotions were intertwined.

She had seen those few bolts of lightning from Chen Yusheng just now with perfect clarity.

Seeing with her own eyes a bolt of lightning instantly kill several powerful Mutant Wolves was too great a shock for the little girl Zombie King.

She even had a feeling that even if it were her, she would undoubtedly die if she took such a hit.

In an instant, she developed an awe for Chen Yusheng that came from the depths of her bones.
