The invisible Lin Qiao arrived to find the two level-eight beasts rolling up into a ball while attacking each other with their teeth and claws, and Lan Lu sneakily approaching the level-nine man. She spent a short while observing the scene, then quickly moved toward the level-nine man. She ignored the energy stream that had been circling around him and raised an arm to give him a strike on the back of his neck. The energy stream had been weakened largely, so it could barely hurt her.
The level-nine man gave a start, then his vibe suddenly dissipated.
Lan Lu, who had just managed to come close to his Chief, sensed the man’s vibe fade all of a sudden and then saw him fall to the ground.
Lin Qiao showed up beside the man as she looked at Lan Lu from head to toe and laughed, “Hey, nice look!”
Lan Lu did not know what to say.
Lin Qiao’s appearance and the disappearance of the level-nine man’s vibe made the wolf and the bear, who had been fighting each other intensely, pause. Both of them instantly turned to look at Lin Qiao.
“Roar!” Finding its prey getting stolen by someone else, the wolf king instantly gave a raging roar, then turned away from the bear and rushed swiftly at Lin Qiao. Once the wolf turned around, the bear opened its mouth and sent a fireball toward it, which fleetingly and accurately hit the wolf’s butt.
“Owoooo!” The wolf howled in pain and was sent flying sideways, bumping into a tree nearby, while its long tail was set on fire. This time, the black wolf was agitated. It hurriedly turned and let out a wave of ice mist from its mouth toward its tail.
From the beginning, the bear was targeting the wolf king solely and didn’t seem to care about the level-nine man at all. It had its eyes fixed on the wolf and launched an attack every time it grasped a chance.
While fighting against the bear, the wolf king had put most of its attention on the level-nine man. As long as it attained the level-nine nucleus and broke into level-nine, would it ever need to be afraid of the annoying bear?
The fire on the wolf’s tail was instantly frozen by the icy mist. Then, as the wolf wagged its tail, the ice shattered and fell. What also fell were some hair from its tail.
Feeling chilly from its tail, the wolf turned and gave the bear a deep, angry roar.
“Roar…” It uttered a series of roars but didn’t charge at the bear. Instead, it suddenly twirled and charged at Lin Qiao and the other two people in the next second.
At that moment, Lan Lu had already walked up to his Chief. He gave out a long sigh of relief when Lin Qiao showed up. But before he could respond to Lin Qiao, the black wolf pounced on them, and before the wolf could reach its targets, the bear once again set its tail on fire.
Seeing the wolf come at him again, Lan Lu grabbed his Chief’s arm and lifted him, then glanced at Lin Qiao. She glanced back at him, then raised an arm toward the black wolf, creating a black fire wall.
“Owoooo…” The wolf king uttered a shrill howl when the black fire wall suddenly appeared before its eyes. It twisted its body in the midair but failed to stop itself from lunging forward. In the end, it bumped straight into Lin Qiao’s black fire wall.
“Owoooo…” Another wolf howl was heard.
The wolf flew through the black fire wall and landed on the ground. Its body was covered in a layer of ice, and the ice surface was wrapped in a weird black fire.
The wolf automatically made a roll on the ground and tried to put out the fire. The energy contained in the dark fire ball wasn’t at a higher level at its own power. However, the fire was able to devour its own energy.
Seeing the wolf rolling on the ground, the bear thought for a moment and then decided to pounce on it. It suddenly released a raging fire that wrapped up its own body, then wielded its sharp claws at the wolf’s head.
The black wolf didn’t manage to dodge in time. As a result, the bear’s claws left a few wounds on its body, and shattered a large piece of its ice shield. With that, Lin Qiao’s dark fire immediately reached toward those wounds.
In the meantime, the dark fire had also gone onto the bear’s claws. On the two beasts’ skin, the fire quickly devoured their energy and then grew stronger and stronger.
“Roar…” The bear was afraid of the energy contained in Lin Qiao’s fire as well. However, the black wolf was finally showing weakness. If it didn’t grasp the chance to attack the wolf, it might never have an opportunity again. Therefore, it hesitated briefly and then decided to attack the wolf again.
But unexpectedly, although its attack worked, its own claws were compromised by that weird black fire on the wolf’s body.
The bear was startled by the devouring power in the dark fire. Then, it started to hop while swinging its claws.,
Bang! Bang! Bang! One could imagine an elephant-sized hairy bear jumping around. It looked silly and clumsy.
“Aooooo… Ao…” While shaking its paws, the bear roared in a panic. On the other side, the black wolf was still rolling on the ground.
The dark fire which drilled into the wolf’s wounds wasn’t only devouring the wolf’s energy, but had also been melting its blood and flesh. The wolf screamed in pain as it constantly released its ice power to seal the wounds.
“I think they’re afraid of your fire…” Holding his Chief, Lan Lu walked to Lin Qiao’s side as he looked at the two level-eight beasts with surprise. The two beasts both seemed so powerful just now, but they were clearly panicked now. He wasn’t expecting the zombie lady’s power to be so effective. Didn’t she have poisonous mist? How come it suddenly became dark fire?
The dark fire even gave Lan Lu a weird sense of danger. His instincts told him not to get close to it.
“My power is especially effective against mutated beasts and zombies,” said Lin Qiao. While speaking, she turned to another direction. The scents of Hou Guozhong and Wei Haichao could be sensed from there at a distance. She furrowed her brows slightly and then said, “Didn’t you take care of those rats?”
Lan Lu turned and gave a glance at that area. His handsome face was now stained and wounded, but his eyes still stayed sharp. “They are cautious,” he said, “They’ve been hiding far away. I hit Hou Guozhong once though. I think he won’t recover anytime soon.”
Lin Qiao nodded as she gave another glance at where the scents of the two men came from, then said, “No wonder they’ve been moving away from here.”
Lan Lu looked into that direction and said, “Perhaps your presence made them feel that they have no chance. They’re probably preparing to leave.”
“I don’t think so,” Lin Qiao shook her head.
The two were miles away from her, but she could still faintly hear their thoughts. They weren’t giving up. Instead, they seemed to be waiting for some kind of opportunity.
