62: Chapter 62 Dare to touch my people and dogs?!

The sound of hooves stopped.

The fog was torn apart.

Dozens of robust giant wolves formed a half-moon shape, completely sealing off the hundred meters ahead.

These wolves had gray, withered fur, and bulging muscles on their limbs.

As they ran, pale cyan wind currents swirled around their sides.

"Not ordinary wasteland wild wolves, these are Tier 2 Ash Wind Blade Wolves." Shen Qingci's voice was very low.

The danger level of these things in the military's beast encyclopedia is a notch higher than the same-tier Rock-Armored Centipede.

What's even more troublesome is that there are three big ones at the very front of the wolf pack.

Their shoulder height almost reaches Su Ming's chest, and their bristles are standing on end.

Their entire bodies are wrapped in a layer of dark red Source Energy film.

They are Tier 2 peak Wolf Guards.

Su Ming swept his gaze over them.

The number is close to eighty.

They didn't pounce directly.

The front row lowered their bodies and slowly approached.

The middle row circled the perimeter of the two.

The three Wolf Guards in the back row crouched fifty meters away, motionless, like three iron towers.

"It's not a chaotic charge." Shen Qingci's grip on her blade tightened slightly.

"It's a hunting formation."

Su Ming saw it too.

These things have command and coordination.

The front row consumes, the middle row cuts off, and the back row harvests.

The routine is clean and efficient, much like military tactics.

Much harder to chew through than that group of bugs from just now.

"Grr…" A low growl squeezed from Dahuang's throat, and its teeth were clenched tight.

It stared fixedly at the wolf pack, its right hind leg shaking even more violently.

Seeing enemies, its eyes were filled with hatred.

The wolf pack started running around the man and the dog.

Dozens of giant wolves kicked up ash, forcibly dragging this patch of ground into a circular dust storm.

The air was full of the stench of wolves and heat.

Shen Qingci probed the ground with Geng Metal Qi and soon captured that rhythmically fixed vibration.

"They are accelerating with every lap." She stared at the wolf pack, speaking quickly.

"They aren't just running in circles; they are using the sound of hooves and wind pressure to suppress our reaction time.

Once our attention is stretched to the limit, that's when they'll strike."

Su Ming wiped the smile off his face.

"Takeout that knows tactics and has ranged attacks is hard to unwrap."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wolf pack's first round of probing arrived.

More than a dozen Wind Blade Wolves simultaneously lowered their bodies and charged, skimming across the ground.

Just as Su Ming was about to meet them, they suddenly dispersed and veered to both sides ten meters away.

Feinting east to attack west.

Taking advantage of this opening, the three larger Wolf Guards pounced from the side and rear.

Two headed straight for Shen Qingci, and one pounced toward Dahuang.

The speed was ridiculously fast.

And almost at the same time, a circle of gray shadows suddenly exploded from the periphery of the wolf pack.

A full twenty-plus Ash Wind Blade Wolves, as if they had rehearsed beforehand, lined up and charged toward Su Ming from all directions.

Boom!

The first Wind Blade Wolf lowered its head and slammed into Su Ming's chest, followed immediately by the second and third, which rammed into him fiercely from the sides.

The ground under Su Ming's feet cracked on the spot, and his entire body was forcibly knocked half a step backward.

They didn't engage Su Ming in direct combat either.

They would hit and retreat.

As soon as the ones in front were slapped away by Su Ming's palm, the ones behind would immediately fill the vacancy, relying on sheer numbers and speed to drag him and keep him pinned in place.

Streaks of pale cyan wind blades slashed randomly along the ground, forcing Su Ming to be unable to provide reinforcements immediately.

A divide-and-conquer tactic.

The wolf pack forcibly cut the battlefield into three pieces.

More than twenty Wind Blade Wolves used wheel-like charges to trap Su Ming, three Wolf Guards pounced to kill Shen Qingci and Dahuang respectively, and the remaining wolf pack circled the perimeter, constantly compressing the space, ready to deliver a finishing blow at any moment.

They wanted to isolate the strongest one, Su Ming.

Bite the other two to death first.

Shen Qingci's reaction was also extremely fast.

She held her blade horizontally, steadily blocking the sharp claws grabbed by one of the Wolf Guards.

"Clang!"

The Geng Metal Blade Bone and the wolf's claws collided, sending sparks flying.

She was just preparing to activate the Geng Metal Secret Marrow to cut through the wolf's claws when the thick tail of the other Wolf Guard lashed over.

Shen Qingci was swept, her feet slipped, and she retreated half a step.

Dahuang was slowed down by its old injuries and was further suppressed by the wolf pack's bloodline, making its reaction a fraction slower.

Its shoulder and neck were grazed by the fangs of another Wolf Guard.

Blood immediately stained its dark gold bristles red.

"Awoo!" Dahuang let out a howl of pain.

"Bite it!"

Shen Qingci's eyes turned cold, the golden light on her cold edge surged, and with one slash, she forced the two Wolf Guards back.

But more Wind Blade Wolves had already filled in.

Streaks of half-moon-shaped pale cyan wind blades cut in from all directions.

A single one was nothing.

But with a dozen falling at once, even the Geng Metal Secret Marrow couldn't withstand this level of consumption.

Shen Qingci swung her blade to block, the blade light weaving into a dense golden curtain of light.

But her stamina was already reaching its limit.

After consecutive battles earlier and repeated hard clashes just now, her breathing started to become weak.

In the distance, a long wolf howl came.

The signal for an all-out attack.

The three Wolf Guards and more than ten Wind Blade Wolves changed their moves simultaneously, directly abandoning Su Ming, and all attacks pressed toward Shen Qingci.

Among the three targets, this woman was the closest to her limit.

Dahuang roared, dragging its injured shoulder and neck to block the side of Shen Qingci, and bit the neck of a Wind Blade Wolf.

The next second, a wolf on the side seized the opportunity, and a condensed wind blade slashed down accurately, cutting right into the hind leg of Dahuang that already had an old injury.

Pfft! Flesh was torn open, deep enough to see the bone.

"Awoo!" Dahuang let out a shrill scream, its hind leg went limp, and blood dripped down along the ash.

Shen Qingci forcibly resisted two wind blades, and the nano combat suit on her back was torn into two slits.

Blood seeped out.

She looked at Dahuang.

Then she looked at the wolf pack that was closing in again.

Her expression changed for the first time.

Su Ming heard that scream.

He was still ten meters away, using Mass Mastery to withstand the siege of more than a dozen Wind Blade Wolves.

The wolf fangs bit onto his arm, but they couldn't break his skin at all.

But he had no mind left to waste time with these beasts.

He turned his head and took a look.

Shen Qingci was surrounded by seven or eight wolves, the golden light of her cold edge flickering on and off.

Dahuang was lying on the ground, and the blood from its right hind leg stained the ash blackish-red.

The smile on Su Ming's face was completely gone.

His anger flared up immediately.

"Beasts! Dare to touch my people and my dog!"

Boom!

The moment his words fell, he exerted force from the soles of his feet.

The True Mass of over a ton pressed into the ground at once, and spiderweb-like cracks exploded from his heels.

Mass Engine, ignite!
