The second volume is called "One Heart" Chapter 3 Eliminating Wolves
Fortunately, the wisdom of Warcraft is ultimately no match for humans, and the highly efficient command method of "Soul Contract" is not something that the old silver wolf's few howls can match. Before the wolf pack could recover from the chaos, I had already organized the skeleton warriors and led my troops to attack.
More than four hundred skeleton warriors are definitely in a dominant position against about two hundred wild wolves. What's more, my legion is carefully selected. Unlike the wolf pack, there are also some old and young mixed in. Once they are surrounded by us, it would not be so easy for them to escape.
I led fifty elite skeleton warriors and did not take part in the melee. I stared at the silver light in the wolf pack. That was where the old silver wolf was. From the long howls that came out from time to time, I could see that it was desperately commanding the wolf pack to fight. It was a pity that the defeat was already decided, and there was no way it could save the situation even if it screamed its lungs out.
The battle was very intense, the number of casualties between Skeleton Warriors and Wild Wolves was increasing, basically maintaining a one-to-one ratio. From this point, it can be seen that the strength of Wild Wolves is slightly higher than that of Skeleton Warriors. After all, our number is twice as many as theirs. As the player level increases, the monsters to be dealt with will become more and more powerful, and Skeleton Warriors are destined to be the next type of soldiers to be eliminated.
Afeng and his men did not participate in the battle. They went around the back of the wolf pack and joined Xue Wuxia to cut off the old silver wolf's retreat. According to the strategy arranged by Xue Wuxia, I did not push too hard, and commanded the skeleton warriors to slowly shrink, with the goal of killing the wolf pack to the maximum extent. The main reason was that I was afraid that the old silver wolf would sense the threat and abandon the wolf pack to break out on its own. Who knows if it is loyal or treacherous? If there are still a large number of wild wolves left and it is determined to escape, it will be difficult to kill it. You must know that this is not an ordinary wild wolf king, but a demon wolf. We don't know what abilities it has yet.
As the wild wolves continued to die in battle, the old silver wolf began to feel uneasy. It circled around in circles anxiously and howled several times. The remaining dozens of wild wolves contracted their front line and began to move towards it quickly, gathering around it.
This is exactly what we want. We use the skeleton warriors to surround them in the middle and slowly push them forward. At this moment, we must not be anxious and must proceed steadily to avoid making mistakes in a hurry and leaving loopholes for them to exploit.
The old silver wolf led the pack and turned to rush back. Where they came from, they would go back. The beasts' thinking was relatively simple. There were eight people including Xue Wuxia and Afeng in the back. With the help of forty or fifty skeleton warriors, they should be able to hold them back for a while. I arranged a hundred men to protect me, half of whom were elite. The wolves would not be able to get away from the front. I was afraid that they would escape from the two wings. Although eighty skeleton warriors were arranged to defend each wing, without our support in the middle, they might be missed by the old silver wolf, and it would be too late to chase them.
Sure enough, the wolves were blocked, with the skeleton warriors as the main force and magic bows and arrows attacking together. Soon, more than a dozen wild wolves fell. I also hurriedly ordered the younger brothers around me to rush forward to attack from both sides, and strive to wipe them out in one fell swoop. It would be best if I could kill the old silver wolf myself to vent my hatred. However, the two wings remained motionless to prevent the old silver wolf from breaking through from there.
The old silver wolf became more and more impatient, and personally led the wolf pack to charge several times, but was beaten back each time. The strange thing was that apart from being slightly faster and stronger than ordinary wild wolves, it did not seem to have any other powerful features, and its performance did not look like the legendary monster at all.
With the pincer attack from the rear troops, the wild wolves died one after another. Soon, there were only more than 20 wild wolves left around the old silver wolf. I also sent 30 of my own guards to participate in the attack, striving to meet up with Afeng and his men in victory.
The old silver wolf, trapped in a desperate situation with no way to escape, suddenly howled to the sky, and the other wild wolves followed suit, suddenly turning around and rushing towards me. In order to witness the miserable end of the old silver wolf, I unconsciously exposed myself and approached the battlefield. In addition, there were only 20 skeleton warriors protecting me, so my strength was a little weak. I didn't expect to be observed by it. Is this the wisdom of the monster?
More than 20 wild wolves charged in one direction, knocking away the skeleton warriors blocking the way, regardless of their own safety, and tried their best to rush a passage for the old silver wolf. I just reacted, and the old silver wolf was about to rush in front of me. Fortunately, most of the 20 skeleton warriors were blocking in front of it, and it had no younger brothers to use. The last 20 wild wolves would sooner or later be loyal to it under the siege of my superior forces. It was not so easy for them to rush out from here alone.
The skeleton warrior in the front was already waving his bone knife, ready to give the rapidly approaching old silver wolf a head-on blow, but he didn't expect that the old silver wolf's body would flash with a pale white light, and its long hair would stand up and dance. It opened its mouth wide and spurted out a white transparent knife-like object, which hit the skeleton warrior. The skeleton warrior paused and immediately disintegrated into a pile of bones. Then two more white lights came and killed the two .
Isn't this the first-level wind magic "Wind Blade"? However, the release speed is much faster and the power is also much stronger. It seems that this is the real ability of the monster. If the old silver wolf didn't intend to attack me, I might be very happy to see its ability. The stronger it performs, the greater the sense of achievement I will get from killing it. However, when such a strong enemy is approaching me, I don't have such a leisurely mood to appreciate its performance.
This was the first time I complained about the skill "Knives Out" because why could it only be used forwards and not backwards? In such an emergency, I didn't dare to turn around and use the skill to escape. What if the old silver wolf took the opportunity to slip away? It would be difficult for me to catch up with it in a race between man and wolf.
We had no choice but to hold on. Even if it meant dying and going to the "Dead Space", we couldn't let the old silver wolf escape. I commanded the remaining dozen or so skeleton warriors to rush forward in the face of the continuously fired "Wind Blades", and at the same time looked for opportunities to release "Corrupted Bone Arrows" to attack it. We had to hold on until Afeng and the others came to help.
The old silver wolf also fought hard, opening its big mouth and throwing out the "wind blades" in a row. No skeleton warrior could withstand a single blow, and all those who were hit were shattered into bones. Fortunately, it also took two of my "rotten bone arrows", and its body was green and poisoned. Now it depends on who can hold on to the end.
However, the old silver wolf's attack speed was beyond my expectation. It didn't take much effort to kill more than a dozen skeleton warriors who rushed up. At the same time, it dodged the attacks of the surviving skeleton warriors and quickly approached me. As long as I got out of the way or it killed me, there would be a vast grassland behind it, and it could escape.
I gritted my teeth and stood still. I waved my right hand and shot out another "Corrupted Bone Arrow". Then I raised my left hand resolutely. The "Touch of Death" glowed and shot out a black mist, covering half of the old silver wolf's body. At the critical moment, I activated the "Absorbing Essence and Devouring Marrow" skill. Its "Wind Blade" was too powerful and I certainly couldn't withstand it. Fighting the old silver wolf head-on would only make me die faster. I might as well try the function of the artifact. It would be best if I could absorb all of its mental power so that it could not use the "Wind Blade". This way, even if I can't do it, it would be easier for Afeng and the others to kill it.
Caught off guard, the old silver wolf paused and forgot to attack. I only felt a thin stream of warm currents passing through the black mist and transmitting to my body, which significantly increased my mental strength. The old silver wolf also came to its senses, dodged left and right, and killed the three skeleton warriors who took the opportunity to return to defense with the "wind blade". Then it rushed straight towards me, baring its teeth and opening its mouth to me. At this time, the distance between me and it was only three meters.
