68: Fire Mage, Lightning Mage [Fourth Update]

The three people who were planning to drive the fire truck back saw, in the blink of an eye, a Shadow Wolf leap out from that pitch-black door.

"Ah!" He was so scared he fell onto the ground, his eyes filled with terror.

Ordinary wolves were already quite dangerous for them, let alone a gigantic Shadow Wolf!

Its eerie appearance further increased their panic.

Hearing the sound, the others drew their knives and gripped the baseball bats in their hands...

As they turned, they realized they were already surrounded by Shadow Wolves that had appeared from who knows where or when.

"Where, where did so many wolves come from?"

"Are these wolves? Where in the world are there such big wolves? It feels like one swipe from it could easily kill a tiger!"

"Damn it! Some unlucky fool must have fished these beasts out nearby. What should we do now?"

"What's there to panic about? Just a few demonic wolves, move aside!"

Zhao Zhiqiang, another skill user besides Wu Tian, stepped forward and pushed the crowd aside.

"It's rare to have a chance to try out the ultimate move I just learned." As he spoke, he spread his hands, his fingers half-clenched, and two Fireballs quickly condensed in his palms.

After the Fireballs formed, Zhao Zhiqiang wasn't in a hurry to throw them at the Shadow Wolf.

Instead, he pressed his hands together, forcibly merging the two Fireballs into one, increasing its size from that of an apple to that of a large watermelon.

'So it can be used like this.'

Chen Ming was inspired and sighed, "The saying 'live and learn' is truly correct."

"Die!" Once the Fireball was fully formed, reaching the maximum size he could produce, Zhao Zhiqiang pushed his hands forward with force.

Boom!

The Fireball, at extreme speed, trailed a small tail and rolled with heat waves as it shot towards one of the Shadow Wolves.

The Shadow Wolf's response was simple and brutal: it swallowed Zhao Zhiqiang's proud attack in one gulp.

With a snap of its mouth and a muffled sound, a few wisps of black smoke escaped from the gaps between its teeth. It was completely unharmed.

"H-how could this happen?" Zhao Zhiqiang, who had been looking smug earlier and wanted to show off in front of everyone, staggered and took half a step back.

His face was full of shock and disbelief.

It wasn't that he hadn't considered beforehand that this Fireball might not completely kill the Shadow Wolf, but at the very least, it should have severely injured it.

Who would have thought it would be completely unharmed!

Seeing the Shadow Wolf pounce, Zhao Zhiqiang hurriedly tried to condense another Fireball to attack.

But in less than the blink of an eye, the Shadow Wolf closed the distance in a few large strides.

"..." Zhao Zhiqiang looked up and saw the Shadow Wolf bringing down its thick, sharp claws, which it had raised beforehand.

The extended claws were sharp and thick, like butcher knives.

Splat!

Blood spurted out, and in an instant, Zhao Zhiqiang was cut into several pieces.

"Insta-kill!"

Witnessing this scene, how could anyone else sit still?

All will to fight was lost, and the weapons in their hands unconsciously slipped and fell.

Pick them up? They couldn't bother picking them up. The only thing on their minds was one thing: escape! Escape without looking back! The further the better!

They never wanted to come to this hellhole again; they regretted it immensely.

However, what awaited them was only slaughter!

Watching those scenes, Chen Ming always had a sense of déjà vu, like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Ordinary Goblins could also easily kill them.

"..." Wu Tian looked at the corpse lying not far from him, still bleeding profusely, and was in a daze.

"Ah! No! Don't kill me!"

At this moment, a tragic scream forced Wu Tian back to his senses, and his eyes were no longer hazy or blurry.

He saw a Shadow Wolf bite a Man and pick him up from the ground.

Then, with another bite, there was a 'crunch' sound as it completely bit off his neck, separating his head from his body, which then fell.

A mouth full of sharp white wolf fangs, mixed with blood, was very viscous and dripped down.

It wore a snarling, hostile expression.

"Gulp!" Wu Tian met the Shadow Wolf's gaze and couldn't help but swallow.

Seeing the Shadow Wolf stride forward, moving faster and faster, and pouncing towards him.

His palm crackled and popped, lightning flickering incessantly, quickly condensing a ball of lightning.

However, before he could even throw it, the scene before him was filled by a gaping bloody maw!

"..." Wu Tian.

The next second, most of his body was bitten off by the Shadow Wolf, leaving only his two legs standing there.

This efficiency was far, far faster than execution tools like the dragon head guillotine, tiger head guillotine, or dog head guillotine.

The entire process took no more than three minutes.

The Azure Thunder Group, which had only been formed recently and whose members were boasting about becoming the world's number one apocalypse organization while standing on beer crates just last night, was declared completely annihilated.

Chen Ming was very grateful that they had provided him with such an opportunity.

Select everyone, extract Undead!

[Extracting...]

[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining new Undead Servant: Low-level Undead +13!]

[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining new Undead Servant: Flame Mage!]

[Extraction successful! Congratulations to the host for obtaining new Undead Servant: Lightning Mage!]

"People without skills can only be extracted as low-level Undead, while those with skills have other identities?"

Chen Ming summoned Wu Tian and Zhao Zhiqiang.

After becoming Undead, their appearance from when they were alive could still be vaguely recognized.

Chen Ming had them each unleash their strongest attack.

Black and white lightning, and a Fireball with a black inner flame and a white outer flame.

Bang! Boom!

One created a large hole in the tree trunk, while the other directly ignited the large tree.

"It seems that as long as I have enough skills, everything in this world can become a stepping stone on my path to power!" Chen Ming was very satisfied with this result.

With a wave of his hand, the Undead sank into the shadow world.

Chen Ming kept the bloodstains on the ground and did not clean them up.

This was to give others who had similar ideas a chance to calm down and think carefully about whether or not to take this risk.

Chen Ming disliked wantonly killing the innocent, but when dealing with enemies, he would never show mercy.

Whether they were enemies or friends depended entirely on a single thought.

After that.

Chen Ming then swapped positions with the previous Goblin, returning to the villa in an instant.

This experience of easily resolving encounters with enemies and also gaining extra treasure boxes and Undead rewards made Chen Ming feel completely relaxed.

He began to feel that for him, the apocalypse was not without its prosperity.

Those he had just killed, the weak ones were worth one wood treasure box, while those who were slightly stronger and had some combat ability were worth two wood treasure boxes.

People like Wu Tian and Zhao Zhiqiang, who possessed E-grade skills, were worth one black iron treasure box.

Chen Ming accepted them all with a smile.

Returning to the living room, Chen Ming lay on the sofa and took out his phone.

He opened Ten Thousand Realms Fishing, Transaction Center.

He wanted to see if, with the apocalypse having developed to this stage, he could find any bargains or treasures.

He browsed for seven or eight minutes.

A transaction message caught Chen Ming's attention.

[To all the big shots! S-Rank secret realm treasure map for weapons and lots of food! Serious inquiries only, thank you!]
