Chapter 164 The Wolf Riders Appear
At the foot of Huailing Mountain, Chang Lei sat in a dilapidated wooden house with a gloomy expression.
This is a temporary residence built by forest rangers in Huailing, but it has been abandoned for a long time. The wooden house offers little protection for people living in this primeval forest.
However, Chang Lei was no ordinary person. He sat quietly on the sofa, with beer bottles and cigarette butts scattered all over the floor. After a pause, he casually tossed a piece of firewood into the stove.
A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, its blinding light piercing through the window and illuminating the room.
Rainwater seeped in through the cracks in the wooden house, but Chang Lei seemed not to see it. He opened another bottle of beer and tilted his head back to gulp it down.
Outside the window, torrential rain poured down, and howling winds lashed the trees in the forest, covering everything with a thick curtain of rain. The little wooden house, like a small boat in a storm, stubbornly resisted this apocalyptic natural disaster.
:::Buzz::.Heavy rain warning. ::Buzz:::
(...heavy rain...sizzling...red alert...:)
The broadcast on the phone was intermittent and then quickly fell silent.
His gaze fell on the "no signal" indicator in the upper right corner of his phone. After a moment of silence, Chang Lei slowly turned his head and looked out the window at the scenery.
"Wolf Riders".
"You're insane..."
Meanwhile, on the other side of this spatial curtain...
At the very top of the Tree of Life, Langya leaped high into the air, instantly sending a strange beast flying with irresistible force.
Using this counterforce, Tan Zhixin's figure traced a trajectory in mid-air before landing steadily on the broad tree trunk.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at the location of the Tree Crown Royal City before the city fell. At this time...
This is the last stronghold that the flower fairies have held onto.
Their arrival caused the beasts to temporarily change their attack, roaring as they launched an assault on Tan Zhixin and her companions.
"Hold them back." Tan Zhixin patted the front of Langya's car. "As long as we can slow down the advance of these beasts, we can give Hyacinth time to sneak in."
Boom!
The engine of the Langya roared twice, as if in response.
Its body was covered with scars, and the once smooth metal surface was pitted and uneven, like a rock brick that had been eroded over countless years. But beneath this dilapidated appearance, it exuded a chilling aura.
In order to allow Hyacinth to enter the royal city smoothly, Tan Zhixin did not hide her intentions, but instead drove Langya all the way into the army of alien beasts.
With the help of this motorcycle, which is comparable to the combat power of a greedy leader, the monster army was caught off guard. The prolonged attack, coupled with the erosion of the barrier, made it impossible for them to stop this mad "beast".
Although he was now surrounded by the army of strange beasts, Langya showed no fear whatsoever.
The motorcycle's headlights flashed a few times, their white light standing out starkly in the dim light. Then, two eerie green beams of light shone through the headlights.
It's hard to imagine that the phrase "eyes gleaming with menace" could one day be applied to a motorcycle.
Those eyes seemed to be expressing their anger, sweeping fiercely over the dozens of strange beasts that surrounded them, like sharp blades.
The surrounding air seemed to be frozen by this menacing light, becoming exceptionally cold.
The beasts seemed to sense the threat and began to roar as they approached the motorcycle, ready to pounce and tear it apart at any moment.
Looking at the group of enormous monsters, each several meters tall, Tan Zhixin subconsciously put her hand in her pocket, where a round, dark green gemstone lay quietly.
However, Tan Zhixin's expression was unusually solemn. The gemstone felt strange to the touch, with a clear crack on its surface.
Just then, a gust of cold wind blew by, making one's scalp tingle, and the motorcycle's gaze became even sharper.
Sensing the eerie wind, Xiaoqing seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly arched her body, preparing for a desperate battle.
The atmosphere at the scene began to become eerie. The army of monsters remained in place, each one filled with bloodthirsty killing intent, but none of them dared to charge forward.
After a moment, the beasts slowly parted to make way, and then a huge black wolf emerged from among the monsters.
It was a giant wolf that stood four meters tall and could even reach seven meters in length, not counting its tail. Half of its head was in the shape of a skull, and with each breath, wisps of black smoke billowed from its mouth and nose.
The moment the black wolf appeared, it immediately alerted Langya.
The engine roared louder, as if it could hardly contain its killing intent and was ready to charge at any moment and fight it to the death.
However, before Langya could make a move, a strange figure emerged from the back of the black wolf.
"Hehehe... I never expected to run into an 'old friend' here."
The fox's gaze was somewhat subtle; his narrow eyes gleamed with a fierce light as he slowly fixed his gaze on Tan Zhixin.
"You scoundrel!" Tan Zhixin recognized the other party and sneered. "When I heard that there were heretical demons who could control strange beasts, I should have guessed it was you. I never expected that you could actually control an entire army now."
"I never imagined that the once spirited magical girl would fall to such a state..."
Fox smiled sinisterly, his gaze towards Tan Zhixin filled with amusement.
"I didn't believe them when they said you lost your transformation ability... Heh, it was those Faceless Men who did it, wasn't it?"
Tan Zhixin's expression remained unchanged, but the coldness in her eyes intensified, and the surrounding temperature dropped significantly at that moment, becoming icy and bone-chilling.
"I'll take your silence as a yes." The fox licked its sharp teeth, its gaze then fixed on Langya. "Despite being severely injured by the Faceless Men, you're standing with them now. How pathetic."
"It's been so long, and your nonsense has certainly improved a lot," Tan Zhixin sneered. "Back then, Xiaoqing and I could chase you all over the province. Do you think I can't do it now?"
"If you still possessed the abilities of a Blue-level Magical Girl, then it would be hard to say, but as it is now... with your body unable to transform, what level of magic can you still cast?"
Fox slightly raised her hand, and the surrounding beasts instantly received the command and began to slowly press forward. The stench emanating from their mouths hit Tan Zhixin, causing her to frown.
Xiaoqing's complexion was also terrible. Along the way, she had tried to call out to the Rainbow Crystal Flower more than once, but both she and Tan Zhixin's calls seemed to sink without a trace, and there was no response.
"They're useless. They should just hide quietly."
"You know that's not my style." As if she already knew the outcome, Tan Zhixin wasn't very surprised, but instead smiled gently.
Upon hearing this, the fox grinned, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and shook its head mockingly.
"You really shouldn't get involved in things you can't control."
"And you really shouldn't be threatening my partner."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice appeared out of nowhere.
Immediately, a powerful aura swept past, and under this terrifying aura, the surrounding army of strange beasts was immediately agitated. Some of the weaker beasts even subconsciously took a half step back.
It should be noted that these strange beasts have no concept of fear, but even so, under the oppressive aura, chaos quickly spread among the beast army.
The fox was startled and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
A hand slowly emerged from behind and gently rested on Tan Zhixin's shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Qingnang."
Tang Zijun spoke calmly in a falsetto.
"Leave the rest to us."
Feeling the weight and warmth on her shoulders, Tan Zhixin's tense smile relaxed slightly. Then she exhaled a breath of fragrant orchid and nodded slightly.
"Oh, please."
Right behind Tan Zhixin, the space on the side of Langya suddenly appeared slightly distorted, and then several figures gradually became elongated and clearer. They were Tang Cao, Qin Nan, and others, led by Tang Zijun.
Although the space here has become out of control, the connection between Tang Zijun and Langya remains. With the help of the silver metallic reflection of Langya's body, Tang Zijun can easily descend to this place.
"Sister Tan!" Qin Nan saw the familiar figure as soon as she appeared. Seeing that she was not injured, Qin Nan breathed a sigh of relief.
The sudden appearance of the group instantly alerted the beasts. Sensing the strange energy fluctuations emanating from them, many beasts bared their teeth, gathering their strength.
"A reverse passage?" The fox's eyelids twitched as it looked at the silver figure leading the way. "Greedy ones, do you really intend to oppose us?!"
Instead of responding to the scream, Tang Zijun pulled Tan Zhixin behind her.
"Where are the hyacinths?"
"We've already entered the royal city and reported the situation," Tan Zhixin replied.
"Hmm.::" Hearing this, Tang Zijun nodded, and then he continued, "You guys go in too. There was a little accident; an ordinary person sneaked in. Please take good care of her for me."
Tan Zhixin's gaze shifted, and she quickly spotted the little girl huddled at the very back of everyone.
Although she found it strange that Qin Nan was here, she didn't say anything at the moment, and just nodded.
"I understand, be careful."
"Don't worry, proceed according to plan. I'll cover you."
"Come with me." After saying that, Tan Zhixin ignored the surrounding army of strange beasts and pulled Su Siyao away in another direction.
The moment she made a move, a giant lizard reacted. It hissed and charged towards Tan Zhixin's position, its massive body swaying wildly. Clang!
In an instant, a flash of silver light appeared!
In the blink of an eye, a silver blade of light, accompanied by a soaring wolf's roar, exploded out and transformed into a sharp edge tens of feet long in a very short time.
Wherever the blade flashed, a deep crack appeared on the bark of the Tree of Life.
In mid-air, a huge, bloody head flew out!
The lizard-like beast's body fell directly from the treetop and vanished into the mist in an instant, leaving no trace.
But then Tang Zijun was holding a finely crafted earth-riding sword tightly in her hand, the blade pointing directly at the white heretic demon on the black wolf's back.
"Move again so I can see."
