Green Monster Epic

Chapter 211: Pack of Wolves (Sixth Update!! Seeking Subscriptions)

In Saru's vision, he could only see countless black shadows flashing with eerie green light, slowly approaching under the cover of the night. But in Allen's vision, the faces of the prairie wolves, with their mouths full of sharp teeth and exuding a fierce and savage aura, were clearly visible.

"Looks like we've become prey for these wild things!"

Saru joked as he looked around. The rustling sounds were incessant, and the pack of wolves had already completed their encirclement of the two of them.

"Indeed."

Allen, who hadn't properly loosened his bones in a long time and felt the need for a good fight, shook his neck, picked up the heavy sword from the ground, and stood up.

The size of the prairie wolves was several times larger than that of desert hyenas. Their sparse fur stood upright like steel needles, covering and protecting their entire bodies. When standing on all fours, the prairie wolves' height already reached between Allen's chest and neck, looking no different from a warhorse from a distance, but their strength far exceeded that.

While Allen was observing his opponents, a long and fierce howl rang out from the wolf pack opposite. As this sound spread to the ears of the surrounding wolves, their trotting pace gradually accelerated, turning into ghostly figures rushing straight towards Allen and Saru's location.

The leading prairie wolf jumped up directly in front of Allen, just 3 meters away, aiming straight for his vulnerable neck. Allen didn't hold back either. The heavy sword slashed out like a weight-bearing whirlwind, aiming for the wolf's head.

"Clang!"

In mid-air, the giant wolf suddenly changed its target, opening its mouth wide to bite down on Allen's heavy sword. The two long and sharp canine teeth on the left and right were like blades, blocking the sword's edge. Accompanied by the giant wolf shaking its head in mid-air, using the force to its advantage, Allen's attack actually showed signs of deformation. At the same time, another giant wolf pounced from the flank. It was the real protagonist of this attack. As a mouthful of fishy wind rushed towards Allen's face, Allen could even feel the heat of the prairie wolf's breath on his neck.

"Hey!"

Allen's heavy sword only briefly lost control. As his heart beat rapidly and his rage erupted, pouring into the heavy sword, Allen retracted his hand and smashed the heavy prairie wolf to the side, throwing the giant wolf on the sword far away with sparks flying. At the same time, Allen lowered his body, and as he squatted down, the heavy sword's edge, which had just been retracted, was quietly raised overhead. He only felt a dull friction in his hand, followed by the giant wolf above his head letting out a miserable howl, before falling to the ground and fleeing from Allen's attack range in a sorry state, leaving a pool of blood on the ground.

Another giant wolf came charging over. Allen no longer held back, and with the heavy sword in his hand and the infusion of rage, he swung it with great force. However, the sword, which he thought was sure to hit, brushed past the giant wolf opposite. The other party's seemingly fierce pounce was actually just a feint, making Allen feel somewhat embarrassed.

The giant wolves' attacks came wave after wave like a tide. Allen and Saru fought their own battles. After a long time, Allen suddenly realized that the number of times he had actually caused damage to the giant wolves after fighting for so long was very few.

"Saru, these wolves are not right. Come closer, let's cooperate."

Allen shouted to the beastman who was moving around like a ghost behind him, occasionally transforming into several figures.

"You noticed it too?"

Saru, who had been through many battles, also noticed the problem. He, who also excelled in speed, discovered the wolves' cooperation in the fight. Clearly, his attack speed was faster, but there were always other wolves interfering from the side at critical moments, saving the target he had set his sights on.

"Allen, hold on first, I'll find the alpha wolf in the pack."

Saru, who was knowledgeable and experienced, knew where the key to the wolf pack lay better than Allen. Now that he had figured it out, he called out to Allen and activated Shadow Leap, his entire person suddenly disappearing from the campfire's side. Several wolves that had lost their target shook their heads, sniffing with their noses, very puzzled as to what had happened.

Allen was unable to use his strength at this time. Facing a group of beasts, he was somewhat unable to withstand them, which really made him very upset. Now that Saru, the bystander, was gone, he took a breath and sank it into his abdomen and chest. One sword stance transformed into three illusory figures, and then the illusory figures suddenly overlapped when they were finally swung in front of the target. This was the sword skill that Allen had been studying for a long time, Three Swords Become One.

"Clang! Pfft!!"

The target, a giant wolf, thought it had blocked Allen's attack with a paw, but it didn't expect that this sword contained the power of three swords. A paw emitting a faint light only blocked the first sword's power of the heavy sword, but under the attack of the second and third swords, the entire wolf leg was directly cut off from the joint by Allen. The enormous force even caused the heavy sword to slash across the giant wolf's left waist, cutting the giant wolf in half. Finally, the wolf pack suffered its first death.

Allen no longer held back, treating this group as a whole, an opponent worthy of his serious attention. Heavy strikes, triple slashes, and sword moves came at will, either blocking the wolves' attacks or turning into a whirlwind or heavy hammer, directly hitting his target.

Saru's figure appeared more than a hundred meters away, and the moment he appeared, he turned into an illusory figure, concealing his traces into the Shadow Plane. Earlier, when he was fighting, he had heard a faint wolf howl coming from this direction, so the direction he chose when leaping was also this way.

Sure enough, after carefully avoiding several wolf shadows, Saru found an even stronger and slender wolf shadow on a tree branch, standing on a chinaberry tree branch 4-5 meters above the ground, watching the camp with orange-red firelight emitting from more than a hundred meters away, while also occasionally making intermittent howls.

"Got you!"

Saru was overjoyed. With Swift Shadow Step fully deployed, he stretched the figure he manifested from the Shadow Plane into a long illusory shadow, rushing towards the alpha wolf in front. The alpha wolf was also alert. The sudden appearance of the two-legged figure made its eyes freeze, and a chilling gaze radiated a predatory ferocity, while also issuing a warning in a rapid voice. Several giant wolves not far away turned their heads and rushed over here.

The twin daggers transformed into two bolts of lightning in mid-air, stabbing straight at the alpha wolf's eyes. Seeing this, the alpha wolf opened its mouth slightly. Saru only saw a burst of air distorting, and a semi-transparent wind blade more than half a meter long forming and flying towards his waist in just two breaths.

"Drink!"

"Whoosh!"

Swift Shadow Step allowed Saru's figure to suddenly change direction, brushing past the wind blade. The bushes and grass behind him scattered and flew after the wind blade passed. The cross-section of the broken branches was not much rougher than a sharp sword blade.

"Damn, a Wind Demon Beast!"

After Saru cursed in his heart, he no longer held back. He looked at the shadow behind the alpha wolf that was elongated by the dark night's radiance, and Shadow Leap was activated again. When he manifested, he was right behind the alpha wolf. The twin daggers in his hand were like a pair of scissors, intersecting and striking the alpha wolf's neck. When the alpha wolf lost sight of Saru's figure, a great sense of foreboding arose in its heart. The wild beast's powerful limbs jumped fiercely between the tree branches, and the entire wolf soared up like a flying bird, taking to the air.

Saru's movements were equally fast. The Shadow Leap, which he could only use 3 times a day, was his trump card. Now that he had used it twice, if he couldn't achieve anything, then he would have wasted his identity as a level 13 Shadow Warrior. As the alpha wolf jumped into the air, Saru followed like a shadow. When Swift Shadow Step was applied, the speed of jumping into the air was no slower than the alpha wolf.

"Tear!"

The twin daggers landed on the alpha wolf's hind legs, and tufts of fur fell and fluttered in mid-air.

When the alpha wolf landed, its hind legs staggered, almost unable to stand firm, but when it looked back, another wind blade formed, shooting straight at the ground behind it. Saru had already made a move when the other party looked back. The moment his feet landed, he exerted force again, shifting in the opposite direction of the alpha wolf's head turn, just in time to avoid the other party's wind blade. As the wind blade carved a deep pit in the ground, Saru, under the cover of the dust flying in the sky, held his right-hand dagger horizontally under the alpha wolf's neck and pulled it back without hesitation.

"Tzz~ ~"

"Awoo~ Gurgle~ Cough~"

When the alpha wolf tried to make a sound again, strands of air leaked out along the slit throat. Panic began to appear in its eyes. Just as it was about to retreat, Saru's left-hand dagger was already shooting towards the alpha wolf's right eye.

"Pfft!"

The alpha wolf's right eye burst open, and the nearly foot-long curved blade pierced into the alpha wolf's eye socket, root and stem. Then, Saru twisted and pulled his left wrist slightly, and a scarlet liquid with a faint white tinge flowed out. The alpha wolf's life force disappeared, and the entire wolf body slowly fell to the ground. The giant wolves that had been rushing over were only now approaching Saru's side. Several wolves pounced, forcing Saru back, and circled around the alpha wolf's corpse, howling, but when they failed to get a response from the alpha wolf, they raised their heads again, and the gaze they shot at Saru contained both hatred and fear.

As one of the giant wolves howled towards the sky, the giant wolves abandoned the alpha wolf's corpse and turned to walk towards the distant darkness of the prairie. Before long, the once lively prairie returned to calm, and the chirping of insects, which had disappeared for a long time, soon began their joyful singing again.
