Chapter 346: Battle against the Wolf King, Victory in the Chaos Tower
Lin Fan, Jiang Shuiling, Jin Buke and Zhong Ling'er enjoyed a brief moment of peace after the wolf pack's attack. However, this peace was only the calm before the storm. The ground was shaking more and more intensely, accompanied by the heart-pounding low wolf howls, as if the entire earth was shouting out in anxiety. The four of them immediately became alert, and everyone knew that the real crisis had not yet arrived.
Lin Fan frowned, and the long sword in his hand was already unsheathed, the blade flashing a cold light in the mist. Jiang Shuiling stood beside him, gently closed her eyes, and used her spiritual power to sense the surrounding atmosphere. She felt that the water elements around her seemed to be flowing restlessly, and the heavy water curtain swirled around her, as if hinting that a fierce battle was about to come.
"The Wolf King is coming!" Jiang Shuiling suddenly opened her eyes, her voice full of nervousness and vigilance. Her spiritual power doubled, and the surrounding water elements began to gather frantically, forming layers of protective barriers, ready to resist the impending attack at any time.
Lin Fan sensed the same threat. His eyes were like lightning, and his sharp gaze locked onto the huge figure gradually emerging from the mist in the distance. It was a demon wolf that was much larger than an ordinary phantom wolf. Its body was as terrifying as a giant beast, and its entire body was emitting a silver-gray light, as if it was a fighting machine from ancient times. Its eyes were scarlet, flashing with the light of violence and wisdom. Compared with other phantom wolves, it seemed more calm and composed.
"This is the Wolf King..." Lin Fan murmured in a low voice. He could feel that this Wolf King was extremely intelligent and was not as reckless as other monsters. It did not rush to attack, but stood in the distance, staring at them coldly, as if calculating everyone's weaknesses and looking for the best time to launch a fatal attack.
"It's watching us." Jiang Shuiling said vigilantly, her hands continuously exerting spiritual power. The water element became more and more intense, and a lifelike water dragon surrounded her. The fluctuation of spiritual power had almost reached its peak.
"Then let it see what real power is!" Jin Buke's fighting spirit was high. He suddenly raised his heavy hammer, and the spiritual power around him burst out instantly, burning like a ball of flame. He roared and rushed straight towards the wolf pack. Although he knew that the wolf king was not an ordinary monster, as a warrior, his instinct in the face of a strong enemy drove him to take the initiative to attack.
However, Jin Buke's attack did not work as he expected. The moment he approached the wolf pack, the wolf king's aura suddenly surged towards him like a tide, like an invisible barrier, heavily suppressing his attack. Jin Buke's steps suddenly stagnated, his spiritual power became slow, and he was like he was stuck in a quagmire and couldn't move freely.
"Oh no!" Jin Buke thought to himself. He swung his sword with all his strength. Although his spiritual power was still strong, facing the terrifying pressure from the wolf king, his strength was weakened by half. Under the command of the wolf king, the wolves began to gather around in an orderly manner, forcing Jin Buke to retreat step by step.
Seeing this, Zhong Ling'er immediately cast an amplification spell on Jin Buke. She waved her hands gently, and a faint spiritual light emanated from the top of the staff. An amplified force quickly enveloped Jin Buke. Jin Buke immediately felt the spiritual power in his body recover again. He gritted his teeth, raised his sword, and attacked the wolves again.
"Don't be too brave, be careful!" Zhong Ling'er shouted, calmly analyzing the situation. She knew very well that this wolf king did not rely only on strength, but also on its wisdom and command ability. If she acted rashly, she would probably be surrounded by the wolf pack.
At the same time, Jiang Shuiling's water dragon had already circled around the four people. Following her guidance, the water dragon let out a low roar, and the power of the water element quickly condensed into a layer of spiritual power shield, firmly protecting everyone inside. Although the water curtain blocked the attack of the phantom wolf to a certain extent, Jiang Shuiling also realized that such a defense could not last too long.
Lin Fan stood at the front of the team, and had already thought about the "Chaos Tower". His expression was solemn and his eyes were determined. The Chaos Tower was the most powerful artifact in his hand, but its power was too strong. If he was not careful, it might lead to unpredictable consequences. Lin Fan secretly decided in his heart that he would never use this powerful artifact unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, the situation was extremely dangerous. With a low roar from the wolf king, the wolf pack finally launched a full-scale attack. Densely packed phantom wolves rushed in from all directions, sweeping in like a violent storm. They moved as fast as lightning, with sharp claws and fangs flashing coldly, as if they were going to tear the group of people apart completely.
"Prepare for battle!" Lin Fan shouted, his eyes flashing like lightning, and he swung the Qiankun Axe in his hand fiercely. The Qiankun Axe slashed out like lightning, instantly beheading several phantom wolves that were rushing towards him. His movements were as smooth as flowing water, and the Qiankun Axe kept flashing in the air. Each axe was extremely sharp, repelling the approaching phantom wolves.
However, the number of wolves was too large, seemingly endless. Even if Lin Fan was very fast, it was difficult to deal with them one by one. The attack of the phantom wolves was as violent as a tsunami, not giving them any chance to breathe.
With the help of Zhong Ling'er's amplification spell, Jin Buke's flaming spiritual power continued to burst out as he swung his sword, smashing several phantom wolves to pieces. However, each of his attacks was offset by more phantom wolves, and the wolf pack's encirclement gradually shrank, as if waiting for a fatal moment.
Jiang Shuiling's water dragon tried its best to resist the attacks from all directions, but her spiritual power was consumed greatly, and the fluctuation of the water element began to become unstable. The water curtain was constantly torn by the claws of the phantom wolf, and the defense almost reached its limit.
"We can't hold out for much longer!" Jiang Shuiling said with a pale face and clenched teeth. Sweat was already oozing from her forehead, and it was obvious that her spiritual power was about to run out.
Lin Fan knew that if they continued like this, they would be trapped in an endless battle and eventually be exhausted by the wolves. He thought of his Chaos Tower and hesitated in his heart, but the crisis before him could no longer wait.
"Chaos Tower! Rise!" Lin Fan shouted in a low voice, finally deciding to use this powerful artifact.
As his voice fell, the Chaos Tower suddenly rose into the air, and the tower body quickly grew larger, floating above the four people's heads, emitting an incredible power. The light of the Chaos Tower was as dazzling as the sun, and the entire valley was instantly enveloped by this power.
A trace of fear flashed in the wolf king's eyes. It obviously felt the powerful force of the Chaos Tower. It growled and tried to command the wolf pack to continue attacking, but the phantom wolves moved slowly under the pressure of the Chaos Tower, as if their bodies were suppressed by an invisible force.
"This... such a powerful force?" Jin Buke looked at the Chaos Tower in the sky in shock. He could feel that the spiritual power in his body was also affected, but that power was not suppression, but some kind of strange amplification.
Jiang Shuiling felt that the fluctuations of the water element became more stable, her spiritual power returned to its peak state, and the power of the water dragon also increased. With a swing of the dragon's tail, several phantom wolves were knocked away in an instant.
"The power of the Chaos Tower is not only to suppress monsters, but also to enhance our spiritual power!" A hint of excitement flashed in Zhong Ling'er's eyes. She looked at Lin Fan and understood the true power of this artifact.
The wolf king finally felt that he could not resist this force. He let out an angry howl, turned around and led the wolf pack to flee far away. As the wolf king left, the phantom wolves also fled in all directions, and the crisis was finally resolved.
Lin Fan slowly retracted the Chaos Tower. The four of them stood in the valley where the wolves had retreated, and the atmosphere gradually eased.
"They retreated." Jin Buke breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at the retreating wolf king with some confusion, "Why did they suddenly retreat?"
"The power of the Chaos Tower is extraordinary." Zhong Ling'er said softly, "This time the Wolf King retreated in the face of difficulty. Perhaps we are safe for the time being, but it will not accept this."
Lin Fan nodded silently, and his hand holding the Chaos Tower tightened slightly. He knew that this battle was just the beginning, and the journey to the Holy Ruins was far more dangerous than he had imagined, and the power of the Chaos Tower might be forced to be used again in the future.
"The Wolf King will not give up." Jiang Shuiling stared into the depths of the fog. "We must continue to move forward. We cannot give them another chance to attack us."
