Everything went well in Sector-9. However, the moment they entered Sector-8, problems arose.
They saw a group of adventurers running towards him followed by a horde of wild boars.
Since the beasts were only a 2-circle realm, Mo Jiang and others didn't care and advanced forward despite the warnings of other Adventures who were being chased.
"Everyone, get your weapons ready." Qian Da gave them an order and raised her bow.
Within just a few minutes, the piece of land is covered with more than five hundred bodies of wild boars.
The dead bodies of the wild boars and their flowing blood attracted the attention of a few passing goblins that eventually spread the information to other goblin parties, feeling threatened by this team of twelve.
Unlike the boars that attacked all at once, the intelligent goblins tried to ambush them in smaller divisions. The team faced the ambush of the goblins sixteen times of which they fell into a trap more than six times.
However, the adventurers were too strong for the goblins. So, they ended up getting massacred as a result.
After the incident with goblins, once again, they met with a horde of Orcs in Sector-7 which gave them a bit tough time as they were physically as strong as 4-circle realm beasts.
As if they weren't enough, it was Coyotes' turn to ambush them in the sector-6.
Three adventurers got heavily injured while the other seven were slightly injured. Only Mo Jiang who had a rich amount of battle experience and were equipped was gold-graded equipment, and Qian Da who was a 6-circle realm warrior were completely unharmed.
Eventually, they crossed the barrier and took a rest for a while before setting out towards the next sector with everyone being on high alert.
As if their luck has been returned, except for some three lone foxes on the way, they didn't encounter any beasts.
Everyone sighed in relief.
By the time they got into Sector-4, where their mission lies, it was almost dark. So, they returned back to Sector-5 and found a place to rest as they couldn't hunt in the dark.
While the nobles in Sector-9 lit a campfire to have a nice sleep, these Adventurers on the other hand believed that the fire would attract the attention of beasts lurking around.
Because of the possibility of the serpent beasts on the trees, they couldn't help but lie on the ground. Moreover, the trees were too few at this place. So, the moonlight gave them an advantage of the vision.
Everyone decided to take turns for guardian in pairs every 3 hours until the morning.
By the time it was midnight, it was Mo Jiang and Qian Da's turn to watch.
It would have been fine if both of them just stayed silent. However, being in a secret relationship, Mo Jiang couldn't hold back his lust now that everyone else is asleep.
As the lady went with the flow, Mo Jiang could no longer be satisfied with kissing. Both of them slowly slipped away from there to go to the back of bushes that was around a hundred meters away from the spot.
However, just as they arrived at the place, both of them heard the bark within the bushes followed by the appearance of a tiny adorable pup with gray fur.
The lost puppy barked at the two of them continuously.
Along with its adorable appearance, its glowing amber eyes attracted the lady.
"Cute…" Qian Da smiled as she put forth her hand to pet the cub. The little pup licked her hands, taking a liking to her.
It was only after Qian Da took it into her arms, she realized that it wasn't an ordinary pup but was a gray wolf pup.
Meanwhile, Mo Jiang whose mood turned worse pointed his finger at it, "Look carefully. This is a werewolf cub. This is dangerous. Let me end its life."
As if the pup understood his words, it started to cry with a long howl.
Qian Da quickly turned aside so that it couldn't see Mo Jiang's face, and then, warned him, "don't you dare."
She turned around and took away the pup with her back to where everyone else is sleeping, leaving behind an angry Mo Jiang. He gritted his teeth. "That little…"
Mo Jiang also returned to the spot where he saw Qian Da was petting the little wolf while the latter is sleeping. His expression turned envious.
*Awooo*
However, right then, the entire surroundings were echoed by a powerful howl. Everyone immediately woke up from their sleep and became alert.
"Captain, that thing…"
They were also surprised to see a gray wolf pup in her hands that woke up by the howl and looked around curiously.
A few seconds later, another howl was heard in the surroundings. This time, it appeared to be more powerful.
*Woof* Woof* Woof*
The pup in Qian Da's hands responded with its tiny barks but its range wasn't that much.
"It must be its mother." One of the team members voiced his opinion.
Gripping the cub tightly, Qian Da spoke, "if it is, then, it's even better. Everyone get ready."
"Xinyi, sleep it."
Upon her order, one of the 4-circle realm adventurers from her team raised her staff and performed a spell on the pup. It went into sleep. She gave it to the magician and gave the order of keeping it safe.
The poor girl who was afraid to death took the pup in her shivering hands.
Qian Da then took out her Bow and conjured an arrow made of flames. Everyone also got ready with their weapons.
With 6-circle realm experts like Qian Da, the majority of them were confident in taking down the beast.
But, in the next moment, as the howls multiply in every direction, everyone started to become nervous until they heard the violent crashing of the trees from all sides.
"Damn, what an unlucky day." Qian Da muttered her breath. Forming a plan in her head, she acted quickly, "change of plans. Let's retreat to Sector-7. Come with me…"
Picking up the wolf pup from her teammate, she quickly dashed away into the direction they came from. The others followed her.
Three black wolves that are in the 5-circle realm obstructed their path on the way.
All of them launched attacks on the wolves and heavily injured them. Since they were out of time, they left them alive and continued to proceed forward.
However, within just half an hour, they heard a powerful bark where the source appeared to be right behind them. Continuing to run ahead, they turned their heads a little only to witness a female humanoid creature chasing the.
It has dog ears, gray fur here and there, claws, amber eyes, with the most important aspect being running on four limbs like an animal. The expression on its face says that it was extremely enraged.
Several black wolves are following behind it.
"Werewolf is here." Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
