Chapter 40

Howl, howl, howl, the transformed Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolves did not give Zhuge Zhan and the others any time to prepare, they launched an attack directly. After the transformation, the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolves' speed was even faster. When they ran, their eyes couldn't keep up with their speed. If it weren't for their bright red eyes being particularly conspicuous in the night sky, Zhuge Zhan and the others wouldn't have been able to see their movement trajectories at all.

"Everyone be careful..., their speed...", "Ah...", "Ah...", Zhuge Zhan saw the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolves start to launch an attack and wanted to remind the others, but before he finished speaking, he had already heard screams. Obviously, the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolves' attack had already succeeded, and it was not just one.

"You beasts, I want to kill..." Zhuge Zhan heard the screams and was about to get angry, but was interrupted by the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolves that launched the attack, and he had to defend immediately.

Bang, bang! Zhuge Linglong saw the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolves pouncing toward others and wanted to assist the attacked people remotely, but the two arrows she shot in succession were both dodged by the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolves, which had no effect and wasted arrows in vain, so she gave up the idea of long-range attack and joined the ranks of close combat.

"Ah... my hand." In the melee, Zhuge Kai was targeted by a Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf, which seized the opportunity, jumped directly onto his body, and bit off Zhuge Kai's right hand in one bite. And after biting off Zhuge Kai's right hand, that Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf seemed to have been injected with chicken blood and was very excited, as if blood could stimulate it to become more powerful, and its attack speed increased by another ten percent.

Howl..., that Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf that bit off Zhuge Kai's right hand let out a howl and then continued to pounce toward Zhuge Kai. But when it pounced toward Zhuge Kai, Zhuge Hong, who had just gotten rid of a Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf's attack, happened to be on the right side of this Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf. And at this time, that Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf was in mid-air, which was an excellent attack opportunity for Zhuge Hong. Thus, Zhuge Hong stepped forward slightly with his left foot, exerted force with his waist, and smashed the iron wood stick in his hand from behind his back toward his front, performing a "One Strike Determines the Universe" move, hitting the waist of the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf that was about to attack Zhuge Kai heavily, knocking it to the ground. And that Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf that was knocked to the ground wanted to struggle to crawl up, but did not succeed. It is said that wolf-type animals have copper heads and tofu waists. Zhuge Hong's stick had already broken its lumbar vertebrae, and it had no possibility of standing up again.

"Go...", Zhuge Hong still wanted to add another stick to that Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf whose lumbar vertebrae he had broken, sending it to the west, but the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf he had gotten rid of before had already caught up and launched an attack on him, so he had to dodge to avoid being attacked and injured. In this environment, if you were injured, it was basically difficult to survive, so Zhuge Hong could only dodge.

Howl..., that Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf that attacked Zhuge Hong landed directly beside the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf whose lumbar vertebrae had been broken by Zhuge Hong after Zhuge Hong dodged, and then its front legs pressed down slightly, baring its teeth and snarling, staring at Zhuge Hong with a fierce look. And this look was also the best preparation posture for it to explode with attacks and jumps, so Zhuge Hong did not dare to be distracted and stared at it tightly. One man and one wolf formed a brief stalemate state.

Howl, in the end, that Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf launched an attack first. It did not jump into mid-air, because it had witnessed with its own eyes how its companion lying on the ground had its waist broken. Now, besides Zhuge Hong, there was another person beside it who was eyeing it covetously. Although this person had already had his right hand bitten off, it did not mean he had no attack ability. If it jumped into mid-air and this person with the bitten-off right hand also broke its waist like the person in front of it, then it and its companion on the ground could only wait for death. So it only launched a ground attack on Zhuge Hong, and Zhuge Hong had no way to subdue this Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf for a while, so this man and wolf entered a tug-of-war state. But what Zhuge Hong did not discover was that this Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf was intentionally or unintentionally leading him away from Zhuge Kai.

Howl, after about three minutes of tug-of-war between Zhuge Hong and that Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf, that Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf suddenly let out a loud howl and then jumped up, pouncing directly toward Zhuge Hong, which made Zhuge Hong, who was familiar with ground combat with it, unable to react for a while, and the movements in his hands were also half a beat slow, and there was no way to parry at all. By the time Zhuge Hong reacted, that Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf had already pounced in front of him, and Zhuge Hong could even feel the pungent bloody smell in that Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf's mouth.

Bang! Woo-woo-woo, but just when Zhuge Hong thought it was over in his heart, he heard the sound of a bow and arrow being shot and the sound of a wolf wailing. It took him about half a second to figure out the situation. It turned out to be the arrow shot by Zhuge Linglong, and it was this arrow that shot the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf that was about to bite him to death, saving his life. And Zhuge Linglong being able to shoot this arrow so timely was also inspired by Zhuge Hong. Before, when Zhuge Hong knocked the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf in mid-air and broke its lumbar vertebrae with one stick, Zhuge Linglong had already seen it. She was also inspired by Zhuge Hong's stick, realizing that the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf jumping into mid-air was the best attack opportunity, because the Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf in mid-air had no fulcrum and could no longer change direction. At this time, they also lost the advantage of fast speed. But in fact, this was not the most fundamental reason why Zhuge Linglong could shoot this arrow. The most fundamental reason was actually what Zhuge Tianxin told her when he was teaching her archery before. Zhuge Tianxin told her at that time, "As an archer, you belong to long-range attack means, and at the same time, you have the role of assistance and control, so you must observe the situation around you and find the most suitable attack timing, which can better help your teammates and also better exert your role in the battle." This time, Zhuge Linglong also shot the arrow that saved Zhuge Hong under the observation of the overall situation.

Howl, boom, two sounds came from beside Zhuge Linglong almost at the same time. By the time Zhuge Linglong reacted, she discovered that a Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolf that wanted to attack her had already been knocked to the ground by Zhuge Mei.

"Thank you." After figuring out the situation, Zhuge Linglong said thank you to Zhuge Mei. It was strange to say that after Zhuge Mei's previous madness, she seemed to have become a different person, no longer as fearful as before, but instead became more powerful, both in strength and heart.

"You're welcome. If it weren't for the two of you taking care of me before, I think I would still be in that muddled state, or even dead," Zhuge Mei said.

Howl, howl, but just as they were talking, two leading Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolves beside them howled and pounced toward them, opening their mouths to bite their fair and tender necks. As long as they were bitten, they would die.

Bang, bang! But they did not welcome death, but heard two sounds of impact, followed by the wails of two Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolves. Finally, even the wails of those two Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolves stopped. Finally, Zhuge Linglong discovered that besides the two Bloodthirsty Howling Moon Wolves that had stopped breathing on the ground, there were two thigh bones, and these two thigh bones were very familiar to her.

"Linglong, it seems you haven't truly understood what I said to you." At this time, Zhuge Tianxin's voice came from the distance.
