Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Mu Suyin, death threat and Alpha Dire Wolf!
Time flew.
Lying on the snow, the injured middle-aged woman named Mu Suyin sighs helplessly. She gathered her strength and struggled to get up despite the severe injuries on her body.
'It's that time of the day, huh? I better get going, or it would be troublesome later...'
With many years of experience, Mu Suyin can already sense the looming danger even from miles away.
It was almost noontime, and the temperature in the depth of the forest was gradually warming up with different kinds of predators began coming out of their hiding caves to hunt for prey.
The heat discharge from seven blazing suns hanging on the sky was not something to be underestimated.
Even the thick snow already shows signs of melting!
Owooooo!
Owooooo!*
Yet, as if to confirm her hunch, the howling of starving wolves resounded in the far distance, startling the birds and weaker beast into hiding.
'Sure enough, they are coming, and it's a large pack of Dire Wolves at that.' A severe look emerged on Mu Suyin's ashen face as she examined the surrounding.
This area was an open space below a cliff, and there was nowhere to hide but endless white snows and a river not far away.
They are sticking out like a sore thumb.
Then, a cooling wind blew, throwing her disorderly black and grey hairs swirling. Mu Suyin already guesses that the wind much has carried the scent of her blood, hence attracting this pack of Dire Wolves coming their way.
Usually, Dire Wolves are ferocious by nature and always starve for food no matter how much they consume.
A fully matured adult Dire Wolves could reach Rank-2 while the king of their species could potentially be Rank-4, and their skin is callous, rendering standard iron weapons useless.
In addition, they have a relatively robust regeneration rate to complement their fierce attack, making Dire Wolves an extremely fearsome foe for any adventurer below the Fourth-tier.
'Damn, with my wounds like this, it's impossible to confront them in any way.' Clutching the bleeding part where her right arm was severed, Mu Suyin gritted her teeth.
These Dire Wolves would be a piece of cake if Mu Suyin were in good condition, for she dealt with them many times before. To put it more bluntly, they are a very invasive species that are good at courting death.
But right now, it was different, not to mention fighting; making any forceful movements might worsen her injuries even further.
'And this random little guy, clinging to me like this, how cute...tsk!' While supporting herself with the pole of her broken spear, Mu Suyin's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, seeing how Myah was firmly sticking onto her body like a monkey.
'Well, you are a lucky one.'
In the distance, the blurry silhouettes of Dire Wolves already popped out like mushrooms. Unlike other wolf species, these guys don't have that cold and wary nature; their footsteps are heavy, blowing up a powerful gale in the air.
Seemingly unafraid of offending anyone.
After seeing that, the pact of hundreds of red-eyed Dire Wolves sprinted in her direction at an alarming speed. Mu Suyin took out a grey-colored talisman with white runes that glowed mysteriously.
It was a rare Rank-6 consumable treasure, a <Random Teleportation Talisman>!
"Looks like I have no other choice but to use this again." Mu Suyin muttered with a strange look on her face. She was somewhat reluctant to use this talisman.
Previously, Mu Suyin fell into a planned ambush of her enemy while she was out on a mission and had to pay a heavy price to escape.
At a critical moment, she has also used a Random Teleportation Talisman to getaway. Still, the turbulence of space while teleporting has taken her right arm along with her primary storage tool and everything in it.
Although the <Random Teleportation Talisman> was a precious Rank-6 life-saving treasure, to use it was a risk in itself.
Owooooo!*
While she was still hesitating, the alpha of the pack of Dire Wolves, which is as tall as 3.5 meters and 7 meters long, howled once again and gazed at Mu Suyin with a craved look.
Although the early morning had passed and the air was no longer fresh, it could still smell the enchanting blood scent as a Rank-3 Spirit Beast. It could be felt that she, a powerful being, was already weakened and was on the verge of death.
If it could devour her, there would be many benefits. Getting excited, it howled again. Seeing their leader bellowed so passionately, the other wolves also followed.
Soon, their cries echoed through the cliff.
"Bastards!"
Leaving with no other choices, the little bit of hesitation in Mu Suyin's heart died down. She held the talisman in front of the place between her eyebrow and resolutely murmured an incantation.
In an instant, the white runes on the <Random Teleportation Talisman> shone and became alive and rushed out, lines of ancient characters dancing in the air and glowing mysteriously.
The Rank-3 Alpha Dire Wolf also reached them but was one step too late.
In that split second, the runes sealed the space of a 5-meter radius surrounding Mu Suyin, little Myah, and one of the alpha wolf's front paws.
Then, with no warning, they disappeared, leaving no trait behind.
ROAARRRR!!*
Not expecting this outcome, the Alpha Dire Wolf roared in anger and pain as its colossal body pulsated on the snow, creating a mess. Not only does it lose its precious opportunity, but it also loses its left frontal paw.
Such an ending was unacceptable!
ROAAARRRR!!!!*
However, that was not the end. With their cruel nature, the pack of Dire Wolves, seeing their leader in such a miserable condition, not only do they not sympathize, but instead, they saw this as an opportunity.
Kicking a dog down when it's down is exactly a Dire Wolf's favorite thing to do.
With no fear of death, the pack of Dire Wolves surrounded their injured leader and crazily charged forward, each taking a bit out of his flesh.
ROAAARRRR!!!!*
In extreme pain with unvented rage, the Alpha Dire Wolf went berserk; a dark brown and reddish aura erupted from its body and began to struggle fiercely.
Although losing one paw has reduced The Alpha Dire Wolf's fighting prowess significantly, it was, in the end, a Rank-3 Spirit Beast.
As an Alpha, each of its strikes was enough to dismember two or more Dire Wolves with little to no effort. However, as the fight continued, its energy was slowly being waned out with the continuous regeneration of its wounds.
Half an hour later.
Being forced into a desperate situation, the Alpha Dire Wolf stops fighting back and leaves its back open before crazily consuming all the other wolf's corpses and beast cores.
Just like that, a Demon Beast is born as all hell broke loose.
