Chapter 109 - chapter 109 : alone in the forest 2

Deep in the forest

the air is filled with the fresh smell of vegetation, but the atmosphere also contain murderous intent.

In the are of new World of , there is no difference from ordinary creatures or monsters like Blue Star. 

Everything who can breathe can kill you if you don't focu or loose your attention

They all have the identities of predators and prey, which are often interchanged.

 as soon as long su walks up the hall he saw a life action of predators and prey one fight for his life and the others for their foods

A pack of dark-skinned wolves, their blood-thirsty instincts on full display, chased a group of terrified and afraid red-eyed rabbits with ruthless determination.

 

One of Long Su's Black Ice Skeletons had pursued the red-eyed rabbits, leading him to this chaotic scene.

With caution guiding his steps, Long Su advanced toward the hunting ground

hoping to turn the tables on these formidable predators and secure their valuable resources.

Long Su knew these cunning creatures well, as they were a common target for hunting groups.

 

Black-skin wolves, typically at the level of a middle-ranked soldier monster, roamed in family groups ranging from seven to fifteen members. 

 

Their matrilineal society granted female wolves greater stature and strength, with the formidable wolf queen often reaching the level of a peak level soldier.

Rumors spoke of exceptionally powerful wolves capable of harnessing magic spells, unleashing devastating attacks such as voice manipulation and wind blades.

 

Despite lacking these advanced abilities, ordinary black-skinned wolves were still a force to be reckoned with due to their enhanced physical prowess from absorbing magic power over time.

 

The desperate struggle between predator and prey unfolded before Long Su's eyes as six dark-skinned wolves encircled the helpless red-eyed rabbits.

Several rabbits had already succumbed to the wolves' ferocious attacks, their lifeless bodies a stark reminder of the wolves' deadly efficiency.

Overwhelmed with fear, the remaining rabbits frantically sought an escape from the night-marish land of the wolves.

Their efforts, however, were thwarted at every turn as the wolves skillfully intercepted and herded them back towards the center of the chaos.

The imposing wolf queen commanded attention, her sheer size and presence a testament to her authority.

Standing two meters tall at the shoulders and measuring over three meters in length, she exuded a sense of imminent killing and unstoppable monster .

As the wolf queen unleashed a chilling roar, the air around her crackled with gathering magic power.

 

With a fluid motion, she released a spell-like ability—the wind blade technique—sending razor-sharp magical blades hurtling toward the terrified rabbits.

The relentless onslaught left several rabbits sliced in half, their lifeless bodies a gruesome testament to the wolf queen's might.

 

Seizing the opportunity presented by the rabbits' terror, the other black-skinned wolves surged forward, their jaws open and glistening with blood. 

 

With merciless precision, they bit into the defenseless rabbits, their sharp teeth piercing skin and tearing through throats, the tangy scent of blood filling the air.

 

Long Su, realizing that the wolves were fully engaged in their feast, decided to launch his counterattack.

With swift, decisive motion, he summoned his formidable army of skeleton soldiers, including the indomitable Zhang Han.

"General Zhang," Long Su addressed his trusted commander, "lead the soldiers to eliminating these wolves, but exercise caution around the wolf queen—she is a formidable foe."

Zhang Han, ever-loyal, responded without hesitation, "As you command, Your Highness."

Under Zhang Han's guidance, the skeleton soldiers swiftly encircled the unsuspecting wolves, forming a tight, impenetrable ring.

Once every unit was in position, the order was given: "Kill them all!"

In a flurry of motion, the skeleton soldiers launched their assault, hurling short spears and wielding swords and shields with fearsome precision.

The sheer number of spears and enemies made evasion a daunting task for the wolves.

As the wolves began to succumb to the unrelenting onslaught, the Wolf Queen bellowed a furious roar, sensing the imminent danger posed by the skeleton soldiers.

Driven by their innate cunning, the wolves quickly assessed their dire situation.

Fleeing from the battlefield without sustaining injuries was paramount, as even the slightest wound could prove fatal in the unforgiving forest.

Hearing their queen's call, the wolves collectively surged towards the thinnest line of skeleton warriors.

The Wolf Queen led the charge, her powerful strides carving a path through the dense foliage. 

 

The howling wind fueled their desperate escape as they fought to outrun the relentless pursuit of Long Su's formidable forces.

 

The skeletal soldier braced itself as the wolf queen barreled towards it, its cruel gaze locked on its prey.

Armed with a sword and shield, the soldier's stood resolute, prepared to meet the formidable beast head-on.

With a powerful lunge, the wolf queen leapt into the air, jaws gaping wide, and a stream of saliva trailed behind her.

A deafening crash echoed through the forest as the queen's razor-sharp claws collided with the skeleton soldier's shield.

In the same instant, the soldier countered with a forceful slash of its bone knife, but the wolf queen proved too agile, springing behind the soldier with lightning speed.

A ferocious roar shook the trees as the wolf queen's massive jaws clamped down on the soldier's bony waist, her immense bite force piercing through the skeletal armor.

Yet, there was no telltale spray of blood, no scent of life extinguished.

Had her opponent been mere mortal, the queen's devastating attack would have surely ended the battle.

But these skeletal soldiers were far from ordinary; as undead beings, such wounds were little more than a mere annoyance.

Baffled by the absence of blood, the wolf queen faltered, providing a fleeting opportunity for the resilient soldier to strike back. 

 

With a swift, calculated motion, the skeleton soldier lunged forward, thrusting its sword towards the vulnerable wolf queen.

The unforgiving clash of undead against beast raged on, each combatant fueled by an unrelenting will to survive.

 

With her pack dwindling under the relentless assault, the Wolf Queen mustered the last of her magic power and unleashed a devastating whirlwind of wind blades.

The swirling vortex ensnared the surrounding skeletal soldiers, their razor-sharp barbs scraping against bone and armor alike.

Despite her best efforts, the wolf queen's magical onslaught could only chip away fragments of bone.

The iron armor around the skeleton body significantly weakened the effectiveness of the wind blades, and the soldiers' relentless barrage of sword and spear attacks left no opportunity for another spell.

As the wolves fell one by one, their blood pooling around them, the Wolf Queen's eyes filled with unlimited anger.

The black-skinned wolves' robust fur had provided some defense, but they were ultimately overwhelmed by the countless strikes from the skeleton soldiers.

The once-proud howls of the wolf pack were reduced to a mournful chorus of dying wails, echoing through the darkened forest.

Overcome with fury and despair, the Wolf Queen prepared to abandon her fallen kin and seek vengeance at a later time.

However, a glint of moonlight on steel caught her attention—a sword, descending with blinding speed, poised to claim her life.

 

In a moment of stark realization, the Wolf Queen knew she would not escape the soldier's swift and merciless strike.

 

Her fate had been sealed, and with a deafening crack, the sword found its mark. 

 

The forest fell silent as the wolf queen's head was severed, putting an end to her reign and the harrowing battle that had unfolded.

 

Long Su strode into the aftermath of the bloody battle, his calm demeanor belying the carnage around him.

Using a mechanical camera, he meticulously documented the fallen wolves, knowing that each image would serve as a proof to claims the rewards and recognition of his killing.

Despite the high number of carcasses, Long Su was confident that his solo effort would grant him significant benefits compared to a hunting team.

He estimated that each wolf would yield at least 4 magic stones, but the Wolf Queen's value would require further assessment back at the fortress.

As he approached Zhang Han, who stood beside the Wolf Queen's lifeless form, Long Su recalled the knowledge that not all warcraft possessed the ability to release spell-like powers.

However, those that did held a valuable magic core within their bodies.

Long Su addressed Zhang Han with a focused tone, "Cut open her chest."

Without hesitation, Zhang Han drew his sword and sliced through the Wolf Queen's chest, revealing a green, walnut-sized magic core nestled within her heart.

A surge of excitement coursed through Long Su as he carefully retrieved the core, wiping away the blood and tucking it securely into his space ring.

Although it was a middle soldier-level magic stone, its natural properties made it an ideal candidate for wand inlay or engraving with potent spells.

With the magic core safely in his possession, Long Su turned his attention to the remaining corpses, storing them within his space ring for the following day's feast.

His hard-earned victory would undoubtedly bring him not only confidence but also the spoils of battle he so greatly wanted.
