Chapter 104: Calculating Votes
"Birch, retreat quickly, I'll hold them off!"
The mercenary with the gun had a fierce glint in his eye, gritted his teeth and swung his long spear like a swimming dragon, deflecting the heads of several iron-clawed wolves that were pouncing on him.
"Thank you!" Bai Hua looked at the mercenary with gratitude, and without saying a word, directly pulled Bai Rui, who still wanted to rush to find Xia Yan, towards the back.
"Hehe~"
Suddenly, several sharp sword lights fiercely struck the heads of a few Iron Claw Wolves, blood flowers burst out, and several Iron Claw Wolves howled and fell to the ground.
"Huh?" Bai Hua's expression changed.
It's clear that the person who just attacked Tie Claw Wolf wasn't these mercenaries, nor was it a member of the Lu family. The Lu family members had already turned pale with fear and were desperately hiding in the back.
"Don't panic, everyone! We're here to help you drive away these Iron Claw Wolves!" A tall and sturdy man finally appeared, shouting loudly to Bai Hua and the others.
Birch glanced slightly and saw that although it was unclear, there were at least dozens of people in the forest who had already collided with Iron Claw Wolf.
"Thanks a million!" said Bai Hua and the mercenary with the gun, simultaneously addressing the tall man.
With the addition of these people, Bai Hua and others' pressure suddenly decreased. The remaining mercenaries gradually retreated from the battlefield. Bai Rui's eyes were red, but she had already calmed down, her gaze filled with a chilling coldness as she thrust her sword at a retreating Iron Claw Wolf with all her might.
"Wah wah~"
Just then, a chilling howl suddenly came from the depths of the jungle. This howl was not the ordinary sound of an iron-clawed wolf's cry.
Bai Hua furrowed his brow and thought to himself: "Could it be that Xia Yan's brothers and the Golden Horned Wolf are fighting each other?"
"Huh? It seems that it's not an ordinary Iron Claw Wolf......" One of the men who had just joined the battle, a man who seemed to be the leader, furrowed his brow and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
"Haha, that brother, does this pack of Iron Claw Wolves have a Wolf King?" The man's eyes flashed, and his gaze suddenly turned to Bai Hua, asking with a smile.
The pack of iron claw wolves that were attacking the crowd, after hearing that wolf's howl, slowly began to retreat. Seventy or eighty iron claw wolves retreated very quickly.
"There... there... it's a wolf with golden horns!"
Bai Hua was deep in thought, wondering how to answer the question, when a pale-faced young man from the Lu family stepped forward and replied.
When he heard this, the man's eyes lit up and his black robe suddenly puffed out.
"Haha, great! We actually ran into the Golden Wolf King! Brothers, this trip wasn't in vain after all! Let's go, let's surround and kill the Wolf King! There aren't many of these Iron Claw Wolves, our hopes are high!" The man's eyes gleamed as he shouted loudly towards the forest.
"Yes, Captain!"
For a time, the entire jungle was filled with people everywhere.
"There are actually two or three hundred people!" Bai Hua was able to estimate the approximate number of people from the voices at this time. And that man was called the captain, apparently a mercenary group of no small scale!
…………
"As expected, it's powerful!"
Xia Yan's body made a sudden backward flip, barely avoiding a pair of huge black iron claws. The Golden Horned Wolf King's iron claws were even bigger than those of ordinary Iron Claw Wolves. If caught by such iron claws, one would either die or be crippled. The empty-clawed wolf slapped its paws on a large tree, and that tree actually snapped in two.
Xia Yan's eyes widened in astonishment, "Good grief, even if it were an iron plate, this grasp would still tear it to shreds!"
After taking a look at his own body, Xia Yan became even more cautious and careful!
Just now, Xia Yan's consecutive attacks were all blocked by the Golden Horned Wolf King's iron claws, and sparks flew out from the collision. Moreover, the Golden Horned Wolf King's movements were in no way inferior to those of human peak experts!
"Baihua said that even the strongest at the peak may not be a match for Golden Horned Wolf King, and indeed it's true. Ordinary people who encounter Golden Horned Wolf King would probably have no chance of landing a hit!" Xia Yan's mind was racing as he carefully observed every move of Golden Horned Wolf King, searching for weaknesses.
Next to Xia Yan, there were several tall iron-clawed wolves that occasionally pounced on him from the ground. Underneath Xia Yan, there were also seven or eight corpses of iron-clawed wolves, and in the air, a strong bloody smell continued to spread.
The wolf king's terrifying eyes stared fixedly at the long sword in Xia Yan's hand.
Obviously, Xia Yan's long sword is also highly valued!
"Heh heh, come again, your golden horn, I've got it!" Xia Yan's body was like a hawk, leaping down from the tree trunk and pouncing directly at the Wolf King. The long sword in his hand brought up a white glow.
Xia Yan swung his hand, and the sword body brought a residual shadow, while a sword energy shot out.
A strong sword energy fluctuation caused all the leaves around to flutter 'rustle rustle'!
The Golden Wolf King's fur stood on end, and he suddenly sprang into action. His paws pounded the ground with great force, causing the earth to shake violently. His massive body moved with incredible agility, comparable to that of a human, as he charged towards Xia Yan at an unbelievable angle.
"Right on time!" Xia Yan's eyes locked in, his internal energy surging wildly.
"Hsss~" The sword energy struck the Wolf King's body, and the Wolf King's body suddenly stopped moving. Crimson blood seeped out. The Wolf King let out a mournful howl, its iron claws swiping forward fiercely, stirring up a strong whirlwind.
"Hua la~" Xia Yan's body made a strange turn in mid-air, barely dodging the Wolf King's iron claw.
With a thud, the Golden Horned Wolf King fell to the ground again, and when his eyes looked at Xia Yan once more, they held an additional hint of fear.
"Not good, this guy is going to run!" Xia Yan's heart skipped a beat.
He saw the Golden-Horned Wolf King let out a low howl, and several nearby Iron Claw Wolves moved their bodies to block its path. But the Golden-Horned Wolf King suddenly turned around and fled into the dense forest.
Xia Yan, how could he let it escape? In an instant, his figure transformed into a large bird, and with a burst of speed, he charged towards the Golden Horned Wolf King.
At this time, the Golden Horned Wolf King, who had already taken a step forward with its four hooves, suddenly turned around and rushed towards Xia Yan with a loud growl.
Sharp teeth, in the blink of an eye, had arrived close by. Xia Yan even smelled a fishy smell, those roots of wolf hair standing upside down were so clear at this moment. It seemed that this bloody big mouth was about to bite down on Xia Yan's arm!
"This guy, he actually dared to use a trick to lure me!" Xia Yan was shocked and his face changed color. At this time, it was obviously impossible to stop himself in mid-air.
With a long sword in hand, he suddenly flipped it over and the blade pointed directly at himself. Xia Yan's left hand suddenly slapped the ground. Internal energy surged out violently.
A loud rumble!
Xia Yan's body in the air was lifted several centimeters between the lightning and flint, it was these few centimeters that allowed Xia Yan to dodge Jin Jiao Lang's big mouth. At the same time, Xia Yan thrust his long sword towards himself, also making a sharp turn midway, thrusting towards the wolf king's back below.
"It was really dangerous, I almost lost an arm!" Thinking back to the moment before, Xia Yan's cold sweat had all come out, if his internal energy hadn't been strong enough to be released externally, he wouldn't have been able to dodge the wolf king's big mouth no matter what.
"Ahh~"
The Wolf King let out a mournful howl, clearly thoroughly enraged. It had been right at the mouth's edge, yet it flew out again! Moreover, its back was fiercely stabbed by this damned human, pain! Extremely painful!
