Chapter 31: A Fatal Crisis
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Under Li Changsheng's orders, Ai Xi quickly dashed forward and fled in the opposite direction of Lin Zheng.
"Do you think you can run away from me? Wind Wolves, get him and bring him back alive!" When Lin Zheng saw how Li Changsheng had reacted, a smile formed from the corner of his mouth as he signaled the Middle Order Wind Wolf beside him.
Ah-wooo~
The Middle Order Wind Wolf howled loudly and the four low-tier Wind Wolves heeded its order and lunged forward to Li Changsheng from every direction.
At the same time, the Middle Order Wind Wolf also charged toward them. If Li Changsheng and his demon pets were caught by them, there would be no hope of survival for them.
"Gopher, use Supersonic Sound!" Li Changsheng forced himself to calm down and immediately gave orders to the Gopher in his arms.
Before Gopher activated its Supersonic Sound, Li Changsheng's omniscience instantly turned into a barrier to protect Ai Xi and him from the effects.
Desperate to stay alive, the Gopher resisted the fear in its heart and took a deep breath. Its belly and cheeks bulged quickly and looked as if it was made up of one small and one large meatball.
In an instant, an extremely sharp and harsh sound rang out. The raging sound wave spread rapidly and covered a radius of 100 meters around them.
Under the astonishing rage of sound waves, the Middle Order Wind Wolf was stunned in place for a while.
As for the other low-tier Wind Wolves, it was even more unbearable for them. They felt dizzy and their eardrums had ruptured with blood dripping out from them. Their limbs buckled and fell onto the ground helplessly.
A short distance away, Lin Zheng managed to react quickly. He had covered both of his ears with omniscience earlier to soften the blow of the sound waves.
Ai Xi took the opportunity and quickly sped away. Under the guidance of Li Changsheng, it ran toward the outside of Green Mountain.
"Damn it, catch up!" Lin Zheng felt ashamed and immediately directed his demon pets to chase after them.
Other than having eyes for the Nature Faerie, Lin Zheng did not want the truth to be leaked out either. As such, he could not let Li Changsheng go.
Under Lin Zheng's command, the Middle Order Wind Wolf stepped forward vigorously and turned into a cyan figure as it chased after Li Changsheng.
Both of them were so fast that they disappeared almost in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, Lin Zheng jumped onto the Barbarous Bear's back. Under his orders, the Barbarous Bear took a big step forward. Although its movement was slow, it was as fast as the lower order Wind Wolves because of its large stride.
Soon after, the four low-tier Wind Wolves recovered and caught up.
Riding on the back of the Barbarous Bear, Lin Zheng's eyes squinted and seemed to be out of focus. He followed the Mental Connection he had with the Middle Order Wind Wolf, sensing where it was and following its direction.
A hundred meters ahead, Ai Xi was unable to get away from them even if it gave its all. Soon, the Middle Order Wind Wolf got closer and closer to them. Although its speed was as fast as the Middle Order Wind Wolf, carrying Li Changsheng and the Gopher affected its speed greatly.
At that moment, Ai Xi activated its Whirlwind and its speed surged for a while, gradually widening the distance from the Middle Order Wind Wolf.
Unfortunately, it did not last long. During the chase, the Middle Order Wind Wolf also used Whirlwind, making it chase faster as it continued to shorten the distance between Ai Xi and it.
From the beginning of the chase, Ai Xi never once looked back as it swiftly avoided obstacles along the way, rushing forward with his head lowered sullenly.
Almost there! They were almost there!
During the chase, Li Changsheng had his eyes toward the back. He had good eyesight, and with it, he was able to locate the Middle Order Wind Wolf vaguely.
After a few breaths, the figure of the Middle Order Wind Wolf became clear. It was less than 20 meters away from Ai Xi and Li Changsheng knew it could launch a long-range attack any time.
However, Lin Zheng had instructed the Middle Order Wind Wolf not to do so.
"Galen, use Sleeping Powder!" Unlike the Middle Order Wind Wolf, Li Changsheng had no restrictions and commanded his demon pets to attack.
Under Li Changsheng's command, Galen quickly mobilized the energy in her body. A large amount of bright yellow powder formed quickly and began to drift backward.
The Middle Order Wind Wolf reacted extremely fast. Since the Sleeping Powder was too slow, it rerouted its path a bit and avoided the Sleeping Powder completely.
This allowed Ai Xi to create a bit more distance between them before the Middle Order Wind Wolf managed to catch up again.
"Gopher, Mud Shot!" This time, he commanded the Gopher.
Without hesitation, the Gopher climbed onto Li Changsheng's shoulders and lifted its upper limbs. Earth energy rapidly concentrated and formed two piles of human head-sized mud as it hurled toward the Middle Order Wind Wolf.
Ping~Plap~
Due to their short distance and the high speed of the mud shot, the Middle Order Wind Wolf could not avoid it completely. While it managed to avoid a shot, it was hit right in the face by the second mud shot. Although it did not cause much damage, the wolf's sight was affected.
Ah-woo~
Being hit in the face by mud felt like a slap in the face, annoying the Middle Order Wind Wolf. He howled in anger and badly wanted to attack.
Bang~
Unfortunately, due to its severely obstructed vision, the Middle Order Wind Wolf that was moving at high speed slammed into a small tree that was as thick as a human waist. Given its head was very hard, the small tree broke in half upon being slammed.
Hitting the small tree, the Middle Order Wind Wolf staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground. After shaking off the yellow mud on its face, it continued the chase.
As the Middle Order Wind Wolf closed in on them again, it did not hold back its rage anymore. It opened its mouth wide and gathered wind energy. A light cyan Wind Blade began to form and it was about to shoot toward Ai Xi.
Its owner had only said to bring Li Changsheng in alive, but it did not include Ai Xi.
"Galen, Burrowing Vine!" Li Changsheng had his eyes on the Middle Order Wind Wolf the entire time. When he saw its mouth opened, he knew what it was going to do.
At the most critical moment, Galen once again used the wood energy in her body. Under her control, several vines as thick as a finger suddenly drilled up from under the ground, instantly tying the forelimbs of the Middle Order Wind Wolf.
If it was the Barbarous Bear, those vines would have been torn off immediately. Compared to the Barbarous Bear, the Middle Order Wind Wolf was not as great in terms of its size, weight, and strength.
As a result, the wolf stumbled and fell to the ground due to the vines. With the concentrated Wind Blade in its mouth, it tumbled forward, shooting it toward a small tree and cutting it into two.
By the time the Middle Order Wind Wolf got up on its feet, Ai Xi was already gone. Despite the minor tumble, it did not stop it. It sniffed for Li Changsheng and Ai Xi's scent, not giving them a chance to escape.
In a flash, it did not take long for the Middle Order Wind Wolf to catch sight of Li Changsheng. Its eyes were red and had a look that he was going in for the kill.
The Middle Order Wind Wolf hated Li Changsheng for the humiliation it experienced.
Li Changsheng was starting to feel helpless. To get rid of it, he got Ai Xi to change their direction but it still caught up to them.
There was no way around it. The beast's sense of smell was very sensitive. They were born to chase after their prey.
"Since we can't get rid of it, then we'll kill it!" After making up his mind, Li Changsheng once again commanded Ai Xi to change its route.
Very soon, Li Changsheng arrived at their destination. Under his command, Ai Xi jumped several meters away.
Unlike Ai Xi, the Middle Order Wind Wolf lunged straight at them without regard for everything.
