Chapter 2655: Unable to Contend
“Be vigilant! There are wolves are out there!”
Right at this moment, the patrol made the warning, and the other eight people on night watch in the area immediately retreated.
When they heard the cry, the others who were sound asleep awoke and took their swords from their waists, ready to attack at any moment. At that very moment, the atmosphere around them became solemn and there was an oppressive feeling in the air.
Feng Jiu had already jumped down when she heard the warning and was standing next to the Xie siblings.
“Feng Jiu, there are wolves!” Xie Yutang said nervously.
“Yeah, I know. Carry your sister on your back and stay close to me. ” She spoke in a hushed tone.
“Alright.” Xie Yutang gradually calmed down after hearing Feng Jiu’s words. He carried her sister on his back and stood next to Feng Jiu.
The Guo family’s team gradually formed a battle formation, with their backs to each other and everyone facing outwards, sword tips pointing outwards in all four directions. As they detected the wolves’ movements, the initially hidden wolves were also approaching step by step.
Concerned for Feng Jiu and the siblings, Guo Xinning approached the three of them and remarked, “Those are wolf beasts. You should be cautious. Try to stay in the middle and don’t go outside our circle of protection.” He looked at Feng Jiu as soon as he gave this warning.
“Alright, we got it.” Xie Yutang gave a reply. Seeing him glance at Feng Jiu, he couldn’t help but look as well, wondering why he feels Guo Xinning pays such close attention to Feng Jiu.
…
After alerting them, Guo Xinning left and returned beside the elderly man and the middle-aged man. Even though they were mentally prepared, the people could not help but gasp when they saw the wolf pack closing in on them.
“Aren’t there more than a hundred of them?” A Guo family’s disciple spoke in a tremulous voice.
“Hiss! There are not only over a hundred wolf beasts, but half of them are also Saint Wolves!” The other person exclaimed, feeling only a sense of impending disaster.
They numbered no more than thirty or forty people. How could they possibly defeat more than a hundred wolf beasts? Moreover, the level of these wolves was not low. Perhaps…
They could only look at the elderly man and the middle-aged man who were in charge. They didn’t know if they could win in this situation.
...
“Awooooo!”
Suddenly, the night sky was filled with the howl of a wolf. It wasn’t clear where the sound was coming from, but it was made by the wolf king.
As soon as the wolf howled, the other wolves, with ravenous eyes on their prey, howled and swooped out one by one, baring their teeth and pouncing on their prey.
The pace of these wolves was incredibly fast, and their sharp claws and teeth dropped simultaneously, along with their enormous number, causing the Guo family surrounding them to be temporarily overwhelmed and the formation to gradually disperse and become disoriented.
“Hiss! Aaah!”
“Whoos.h.!.+”
The roar, the low cry, accompanied by the sound of the sword’s fierce airflow when drawn, spread through the night, between the light and shadow of the sword, the blood spattered, and the smell of blood pervaded the air.
“Don’t panic! Hold on! Maintain the formation!”
The middle-aged man yelled, but all he saw were people fighting in chaos due to wolf attacks, and the formation had long been out of shape, and as a result, most of them, who were unable to cope, were scratched by wolf claws.
“Come with me to deal with the wolf king! Let’s go! ”
