Chapter 315: The Wolf King's Decapitation Operation
The Wolf King looked at the changing situation and couldn't help but show a look of anxiety, its oily green pupils scanning the surroundings, trying to find the one who ambushed it.
However, the hiding ability of the Shadow Assassin was extremely formidable, not even a trace of breath was leaked out.
The Wolf King took a deep breath, preparing to roar again to command the wolf pack to fight, otherwise, if time dragged on, they would undoubtedly lose.
Just as the Wolf King let out a howl, a shadow flashed through its silhouette, and a dark golden blade light flickered.
Seeing this, the Wolf King secretly thought it was bad. It immediately stopped its voice and darted forward, but its speed was ultimately half a beat too slow. The blade light landed precisely by its side, and the piercing pain made it incredibly furious.
After a successful strike, the Shadow Assassin disappeared into the shadows once more, as if everything that just happened was an illusion.
The Wolf King bared its teeth, constantly searching for the Shadow Assassin's trace, but its efforts were ultimately in vain.
After fruitless searching, the Wolf King seemed to realize something; it stopped looking for the Shadow Assassin and quickly dived into the wolf pack, starting to command the wolves for battle.
A dozen Iron Waist Celestial Wolves quickly assembled beside the Wolf King, forming a circle with the Wolf King at the center, surrounding and protecting it.
Chu Chen stood at a high point observing everything, unwilling to let the Shadow Assassin continue using harassment tactics, only letting it retreat.
The disparity in strength between both sides was too great; if the Shadow Assassin continued to make moves, it would inevitably be traced by the opponent.
With the strength of the Monarch-level Peak Wolf King, even a casual strike would be enough to severely injure the Shadow Assassin, or even kill it outright.
Chu Chen shook his head, sighing with regret. If the Shadow Assassin could step into the Monarch level, he could use beheading tactics, and this battle would undoubtedly be much easier.
Without the harassment from the Shadow Assassin, the Wolf King immediately began to direct the wolf pack's battle.
The scattered Iron Waist Celestial Wolves by the Undead Army abandoned their opponents and gathered towards the Wolf King.
In a few short breaths, the wolf pack regrouped at a location, reviving their spirits and launching another charge at the Undead Army.
Seeing this, Chu Chen frowned. The toughness of the wolf pack far exceeded his imagination, but now he could only grit his teeth and press on.
The harassment tactics failed, and the only option now was to engage in a war of attrition with the opponent.
However, the harassment tactics were not entirely fruitless; the number of wolves in the pack further diminished, with only about eight hundred remaining.
Chu Chen looked at the somewhat dissatisfied Shadow Assassin and said in a deep voice, "Go help the Undead Army in the battle."
Upon hearing this, the Shadow Assassin did not leave immediately; instead, it looked worriedly at Chu Chen.
"No worries, with Nirvana here, I am very safe."
After getting the answer it wanted, the Shadow Assassin finally moved, disappearing among the Undead Army with a flicker of its figure.
"Hiss hiss"
The giant snake head of the Cage blocked Chu Chen's view, its lantern-sized snake eyes filled with anticipation.
Seeing this, Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "You go too."
Upon hearing these words, Cage showed a look of joy, twisting its snake body and charging straight into the battlefield.
The strength of the Iron Waist Celestial Wolves was extremely strong; with Cage's current strength, it was difficult to pose a threat to them.
The main reason Chu Chen agreed to its request was for two reasons.
First, he wanted Cage to clearly see its own strength. The targets he previously chose for it were just to let it accumulate some practical experience and would not pose a threat to its life, leading to its ballooning confidence and disdain for opponents. Over time, it was sure to suffer a big loss.
Second, the strength of the Wolf King was extremely terrifying; even with the number of the Undead Army, it would be difficult to kill it. Completing the task still relied on Nirvana, so Chu Chen planned to let Cage add the more you fight, the braver you get talent to Nirvana.
Cage was completely unaware of its master's thoughts, foolishly charging into the wolf pack at this moment, only to be greeted by the sharp claws and fangs of the Iron Waist Celestial Wolves.
The severe pain instantly restored Cage's inflated mindset to calmness, and it quickly withdrew, retreating until it reached the Undead Army's side, coming to a stop, still in shock.
In just a single encounter, its snake body was left with more than a dozen wounds of varying depths, the shallowest being an inch into the flesh, and the deepest having claws that shattered its spine.
Enduring the pain, Cage used the damage transfer talent.
Its injuries were visibly healing, and within a few breaths, it was as good as new.
At this moment, Nirvana let out a muffled groan, inexplicably having more than a dozen wounds appear on its body.
Nirvana dared not delay, immediately using limb regeneration.
Cage was too reckless; if it didn't timely use limb regeneration, who knows what injury might occur the next time it used damage transfer. The cumulative effect of two severe injuries could potentially exceed Nirvana's limits of endurance.
Cage let out an angry hiss, twisting its snake body, charging towards the wolf pack once again.
But this time, it acted wisely, not directly charging into the wolf pack, but approaching the edge of the battlefield, finding an injured Iron Waist Celestial Wolf.
Not daring to boast, it directly used bloodline power to charge in.
Seeing this, Chu Chen helplessly shook his head; the disparity in strength was too great, even using bloodline power didn't provide much of a winning chance.
Chu Chen no longer paid attention to Cage, but focused his gaze on the battlefield.
Feng Shuang once again released a massive area attack, Furious Blizzard, scattering the wolf pack once more.
But this time, with the Wolf King's command, the wolf pack soon regrouped.
Seeing this, Chu Chen silently thought it was a pity. If Feng Shuang could reach Lord Level, with ice burst talent, the lethality of Furious Blizzard would be at least several times greater, and just this single skill would be enough to turn the tide of battle.
Just as Chu Chen was sighing, the Shadow Assassin took action, dark golden blade lights flashing continuously on the battlefield. Every strike it made taking a life, and with its unpredictable whereabouts, the wolf pack was unable to defend effectively.
In just a minute, the Shadow Assassin struck more than ten times, yet still unable to determine the course of the battle.
At this time, Nirvana once more spewed out a gray mist, and the Iron Waist Celestial Wolf that just died slowly stood back up.
With the addition of fresh forces, the wolf pack fell into decline again.
Seeing the drastically reduced numbers of its kin, the gaze of the Wolf King was filled with coldness.
"Awoo"
The Wolf King let out an angry roar, and a dozen powerful Iron Waist Celestial Wolves swiftly disengaged from battle, rushing towards the Wolf King.
Seeing this, Chu Chen's expression immediately turned grave; the Wolf King gathering the strongest Iron Waist Celestial Wolves clearly indicated a big move, yet what they planned to do was still unsure to him.
While Chu Chen was pondering, the elite squad assembled by the Wolf King had already taken action.
They circled to the edge of the battlefield, quickly charging towards Chu Chen's position.
Seeing this, Chu Chen's heart skipped a beat; the Wolf King intended to use a beheading tactic on him.
"Nirvana, block them." Chu Chen pointed at the dozen Iron Waist Celestial Wolves and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Nirvana immediately mobilized hundreds of the Undead Army to intercept this surprise attack force.
The strength of these dozen Iron Waist Celestial Wolves was extremely formidable; with just a single encounter, they slaughtered hundreds of undead.
