Chapter 124: The Flame Wolf Pack

  The Black Scaled Five Step Snake is not a demon beast, but it has extremely potent venom and is highly skilled at disguising itself to launch sneak attacks, occasionally causing trouble for the Sword Sect disciples who venture into the Black Fire Steppes.

  This unexpected event greatly elevated Qin Yun's status in the six-man team, Lin surname Shixiong was very grateful, Yan Nan admired Qin Yun's cleverness and reaction ability, even Bai Su didn't hesitate to give him a gentle smile of praise.

  Only that young man in green clothes still didn't think so, he even had an inexplicable sense of vigilance and rejection towards Qin Yun.

  The team continued to advance.

  According to Lin's senior brother, they are now just rushing against the luck, because the Flame Wolf Beast's lair will move frequently. If they are lucky enough to enter their territory, the Flame Wolf Beast will naturally appear on its own initiative.

  But today, the luck of the six-man team was exceptionally good, almost too good.

  "Whoa! ~ The first to encounter the Flame Wolf Beast was Yan Nan, he followed Lin surname senior brother and walked at the very front of the team, using the large sword in his hand to guard Bai Su behind him."

  The Flame Wolf Beast launched a surprise attack from the shadows of the black rock pillars, and when it was lurking, it was difficult to detect, but once it rose up to attack, its entire wolf body emitted scorching flames, looking like a fire dragon flying towards Yannan's vital point!

  Since entering the Black Flame Prairie, Yan Nan had always maintained sufficient vigilance. As soon as the Flame Wolf Beast appeared, he immediately sensed the arrival of danger and swiftly drew his sword, charging forward with both himself and his sword.

  Boom!

  Two collided, the Flame Wolf Beast was knocked flying out, its neck, chest and abdomen had an additional gruesome wound, fresh blood sprayed from the opening, falling to the ground with a hissing sound.

  Yan Nan was unscathed, and this blow fully demonstrated his strength and mastery of the sword.

  The Flame Wolf Beast fell to the ground and rolled a few times before getting back up, its scarlet wolf eyes fixed intently on the six-man team that was waiting in formation, blood and saliva constantly dripping from the corner of its mouth.

  Hooray! Hooray!

  It used its sharp claws to fiercely dig into the ground, stretched out its neck and let out a series of loud roars, fully revealing its uncontrollable fury and indignation!

  "Form a phalanx! It's gathering its companions!" Lin shouted loudly: "You protect Bai Shijie, I and Yannan will hold off the front line, don't let them break through!"

  Roar! ~ His voice had just fallen, and a pack of Flame Wolves burst out from the black rock pillars around them, and the crevices in the ground, charging at the six-man team.

  Yan Nan and Lin surname Shixiong went forward without hesitation to block the wolf beast.

  Qin Yun, the young man in green and the girl in red skirt stood with their backs against a massive stone pillar, shielding Bai Su in the innermost position.

  "Kill!"

  Yan Nan swung his great sword in a wide arc, blocking four or five Flame Wolf Beasts in front of him.

  Don't be fooled by his youthful and naive appearance, for when he truly commits to battle, his performance is in no way inferior to that of a seasoned warrior.

  A broad-mouthed great sword was wielded in his hand, with a mighty and powerful force, the sword moves opened and closed, the dark golden sword energy shot out, slashing horizontally, killing wolves and beasts wailing incessantly, not one of them could rush into the range of his sword.

  The sword path of Lin surname Shixiong was completely different from his, the sword moved lightly and quickly, one strike not hitting immediately retreated and turned back, absolutely not giving the Flame Wolf Beast a chance to entangle.

  One defending and one attacking, the two of them worked together seamlessly, it was as if they had been doing this for a long time, not their first cooperation. In the blink of an eye, three Flame Wolf Beasts fell to the ground.

  "Great job, Lin and Yan!"

  The girl in a red skirt watched with flying eyebrows and colorful movements, unable to help but loudly cheer for the two of them.

  But the wolf pack did not retreat because of this. More Flame Wolves appeared around them, forming a tight encirclement around the six-man team.

  The young man in the green shirt was getting unsteady on his feet, he quickly turned around and looked at Bai Suo, saying in a low voice: "You guys stay here and guard, I'll go up to support Lin Shixiong and Yan Shidi!"

  This young man in green shirt is named Dugu Xia, his strength among the six people is outstanding, and his temperament is also a bit arrogant.

  Qin Yun furrowed his brow and said, "Dugu Shixiong, Lin Shixiong wants us to protect Bai Shimei."

  "You're afraid of me? I'm not! You just need to stay and protect Bai Shijie!"

  Qin Yun's words were cut off before he could even speak, as Dugu Xiaoleng coldly interrupted him: "We're here to hunt the Flame Wolves, not be surrounded and beaten by them!"

  These few sentences were provocative, Qin Yun's sword-shaped eyebrows rose, and he forcibly endured it.

  No matter what, in the face of being surrounded by a pack of wolves, everyone should unite and work together. If internal conflicts arise, it may bring unpredictable dangers.

  He carefully noticed that the surrounding Flame Wolves were still gathering, they hadn't all joined the battle, more of them were roaming around, as if looking for an opportunity to break through.

  There were also several exceptionally robust Flame Wolves that would occasionally let out low, mournful howls to command the pack in battle.

  All signs clearly indicate that wolf packs are intelligent and cunning, making them difficult to deal with.

  Dugu Xia ignored Qin Yun again, taking a swift arrow step forward, and in the blink of an eye, he charged into the wolf pack, his speed even surpassing that of Lin Shixiong and Yan Nan.

  "Dugu Shixiong, kill them all!"

  The red skirted maiden's smile is like a flower, her high-pitched voice calls out, as if Yu Xiake has come out alone, sweeping away the wolf pack with ease.

  Dugu Xia indeed had the capital to be proud of, and saw his sword momentum unfold, with thousands of golden sword lights shooting towards all directions, killing the wolves and beasts in a miserable howl.

  Dugu Xiaoyi practiced metal sword energy, which was quite effective against the fire-type Flame Wolf Beast. His sword energy could easily tear open the wolf beast's thick black armor, dealing heavy damage.

  His swordsmanship was also extremely high, and at the same time, he countered the attacks of five or six wolf beasts without falling behind, causing the red-dressed girl's eyes to shine with admiration.

  But such a gaze was only for Dugu Xia, and when it fell on Qin Yun, it turned into disdain - everyone else rushed up to fight bravely, but you were still standing here, losing face or not?

  Qin Yun's expression didn't change, as if he hadn't seen the red-dressed girl's glare at all, standing steadily in place without moving.

  Dugu Xia suddenly appeared from behind and disrupted the scene, which was completely beyond Lin's expectations. He wanted to say a few words but swallowed them back.

  Ahhh! ~ At this moment, the howling of the wolf beasts suddenly became louder.

  All the Flame Wolves wandering in the outer area seemed to have received an order and rushed towards Lin's senior brother and others.

  Dozens of wolf-like beasts flashed into the squad, separating the six people in an instant!

  The pressure on the three Lin brothers suddenly increased, especially for Dugu Xia, who was surrounded by dozens of wolf beasts and no longer had the ease and elegance of earlier.

  Especially those few male wolves in the wolf beast, they can actually spit out scorching fireballs, forcing Du Gu Xiang to retreat and defend himself with his sword.

  This is actually his own fault. If he had stayed with Qin Yun and the others to protect the cultivators, or fought alongside Lin and Yan Nan, he wouldn't have ended up in such a precarious situation.

  One or two wolves are not scary, but dozens or hundreds of them attacking together is absolutely dangerous!

  "Dugu Shidi, hold on, we're coming over to support you!"

  Mr. Lin was anxious and angry, his long sword flashing like lightning as he stabbed out repeatedly to force back several of the attacking Flame Wolves.

  His original plan was for him and Yan Nan to go out first, attract the attention of the wolf beast, and test the strength of the beast group. The two cooperated tacitly, advancing and retreating together, with no problem in terms of safety.

  But never thought that Dugu Xia didn't listen to orders and launched a solo attack, as a result, the wolf pack found an opportunity to split the six-man team into three parts, and the situation became dire.

  Although he could break through the siege with Yan Nan and reunite with Qin Yun and others, doing so would be equivalent to sending Du Gu Xiang to his death.

  Weighing the pros and cons, Lin surname Shixiong also couldn't bear to watch Dugu Xia fall into the wolf's mouth, he could only hope that Qin Yun and the red-dressed girl would be able to protect Bai Su and hold on until the three of them retreated.

  Dugu Xia was forced to a rock pillar, surrounded by raging wolves, and the continuous attacks made it difficult for him to even respond to Lin's senior brother.

  At this moment, the arrogant young man truly regretted it.

  As for Qin Yun, things were also quite bad on his end.

  After splitting up into a six-man team, dozens of Flame Wolves launched an attack on Qin Yun and the others.

  The wolves were jumping on the rocks, approaching at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, their sharp claws and teeth could be seen, as well as the ferocious red wolf eyes filled with brutal air.

  Faced with this scene, the red-dressed girl's round face turned pale, and her hand grasping the long sword was slightly trembling.

  Without a doubt, she didn't have much experience in fierce battles, and was initially overwhelmed by the wolf beast's aura. If she could bring out 50% of her skills, that would be good enough.

  On the contrary, the protected Bai Su was still calm, and a new crescent-shaped curved blade appeared in her right hand at some point, while her left hand's slender fingers quickly moved to form a seal.

  Qin Yun suddenly felt a warm and gentle aura enveloping him, and with each breath, his entire body was shrouded in a faint silver glow, as if he had donned a suit of silver armor.

  Is this a defensive spell?

  Qin Yun was being protected by a spell for the first time, and it felt quite wonderful. Before this, he had always been alone, and had never fought side by side with a Qi Refining cultivator before.

  However, Qin Yun's actions were not affected in the slightest. The Qinghua sword slanted out, bringing up a scarlet-golden sword aura that accurately and ferociously slashed onto the body of a wolf beast that was pouncing through the air.

  Ouch!

  The ferocious wolf beast was cut in two by the sharp sword energy, and the colorful internal organs mixed with blood gushed out of its abdomen, landing right at the feet of the red-skirted girl. The wolf's eyes, which had not yet closed, stared fixedly at her.

  "Ah!"

  The girl in red dress let out a shrill cry at this scene and turned around to vomit violently.

  This companion is hopeless!

  Qin Yun was speechless, the speed of his sword suddenly increased, and in a flash, he intercepted three wolf beasts that pounced on him, the sword light flashed back and forth like lightning, quickly killing them all on the spot.

  At this critical moment, he did not hold back his strength and struck with more than 80% of his power!
