78: Magneto: Why is Wolverine different from before?

Boom!

The ancient Qinling Mountains forest, tonight, lacked its usual tranquility.

It was already deep night, but the pitch-black sky was ignited by endless artillery fire.

The cannon shells, constantly flickering with firelight, raged incessantly through this forest.

Blazing fires burned in the woods, and scorching cannon shells left furrows across the ground.

Amidst the booming artillery fire, countless wild beasts scattered and fled.

Those ferocious beasts that were previously able to roar towards the sky and let out bursts of bellows were now each scared out of their wits.

In front of humanity's powerful thermal weapons, flesh and blood bodies were instantly riddled with holes!

No matter how powerful the beast, in the face of absolute strength, it could only turn into a pile of flesh and blood on the ground.

Amidst the billowing smoke, what drifted was the shattered blood.

Many human ability users also descended from the sky in helicopters at this time.

Under the cover of powerful autocannons, they all began a massive slaughter!

For a time, blood and fire spread across this land.

The roars of beasts and the booming of artillery made the quiet Qinling Mountains exceptionally lively.

This scene of chaotic battle seemed very stimulating to most people living in peaceful times.

Many people, having lived in peaceful days for a long time, instead had a deep-seated fondness for killing.

Shouts of killing shook the heavens, and roars were incessant, making those who entered the battlefield feel their blood boil.

Amidst the artillery fire, divine lights of various colors flashed, and the ability users of the Human Race displayed their respective innate abilities.

"Hahahahaha, Brother Zhang Zhong, you are truly a pure man! This battle really brought glory to our Jiangnan District!"

"That's right, blocking the beast horde alone, probably few people could do this!"

"It made our blood boil just watching from the plane, we couldn't wait to jump down directly."

"Hehe, among this group of ferocious beasts, didn't a few so-called Beast Kings emerge?"

"In my opinion, our Human Race should also get some titles, from now on, how about we call Brother Zhang Magneto?!"

"Exactly! I think it's fine, didn't a Thunder King emerge in the Imperial Capital? Our Jiangnan District can't fall behind either!"

Amidst the continuous slaughter, many of these ability users who rushed into the forest were also constantly praising Zhang Zhong at this time.

Most of those beside Zhang Zhong at this time were ability users from the Jiangnan District.

Seeing the ability users from their own district shining brightly, these people were also very excited.

In this battle, Zhang Zhong truly became famous in one go.

Under everyone's gaze, he single-handedly withstood the siege of the beast horde.

He had both monstrously strong defense and terrifying attack.

Right now, an extremely massive corpse was still lying beside Zhang Zhong.

It was precisely that Fire Leopard at Awakening Realm triple, after being injured by Zhang Zhong earlier.

This Fire Leopard, under this powerful human offensive, was scared and fled in a panic.

However, under the cover of artillery fire, Zhang Zhong still caught it off guard and successfully killed this Fire Leopard.

The Fire Leopard, which was originally burning with raging flames all over its body, indeed became no different from an ordinary leopard at this moment.

"Brother Zhong! You're alright, that's great."

"I was so worried about you, after just escaping. I immediately went to request reinforcements for you..."

Not far away, Xu Yin arrived late at this time, saying softly with a look of apology.

Perhaps intentionally, Xu Yin's voice was much gentler than usual at this moment, sounding like it made one's heart pound.

Xu Yin had a good figure, and now wearing a tight action suit, it further accentuated her curves.

Although Xu Yin couldn't be considered an absolute beauty, she also had a decent appearance.

Her features were relatively delicate, and her long black hair swayed in the wind.

There were some traces of gunpowder smoke on her fair cheeks, making her appear even more delicate and touching.

Coupled with her gentle tone, it made Zhang Zhong's face flush slightly for a moment.

However, Zhang Zhong was now so captivated by Xu Yin's appearance that he couldn't regain his senses.

If Xu Yin was truly worried about Zhang Zhong's safety, how could the reinforcements have arrived first?

Yet she herself waited for the war to end before slowly entering the battlefield.

"It's a pity, that King Kong Wolf still escaped."

Zhang Zhong couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Among the ferocious beasts he faced just now, only the King Kong Wolf gave him the greatest pressure.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.

That Giant Wolf, which was entirely silver-white and had a golden sheen on its body, made Zhang Zhong feel a slight apprehension and lingering fear even now when he recalled it.

"Brother Zhong, you don't need to worry. With your talent and strength, I believe the next time you encounter that King Kong Wolf, you will definitely be able to capture and kill it easily!"

Xu Yin walked to Zhang Zhong's side and said sweetly.

Hearing Xu Yin's words, a hint of joy flashed across Zhang Zhong's face, and then he subconsciously straightened his back.

"That's natural. This battle made me understand a lot about my own innate abilities. The next time we meet, I will definitely make sure it cannot escape!"

With Xu Yin's flattery, Zhang Zhong's confidence clearly soared.

"Oh right, I wonder if Ning Feng brought that mysterious fruit back."

"Why can't we contact Ning Feng now?"

Zhang Zhong frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Brother Zhong, we are all from Jiangnan District, and we have experienced so much together. I trust Ning Feng's character."

"Ning Feng, carrying the Spiritual Fruit and avoiding monsters, might have gotten lost. He surely wouldn't secretly keep that Spiritual Fruit..."

Xu Yin glanced at Zhang Zhong and said intentionally or unintentionally.

Hearing her words, Zhang Zhong, who hadn't thought in this direction at all, suddenly became suspicious.

"That's not necessarily true, you can know a person's face but not their heart!"

In Zhang Zhong's view, Ning Feng could fly at low altitude, and his speed was extremely fast among the three."

Furthermore, with the beast horde blocked by himself, how could he lose contact?

Combining Xu Yin's intentional or unintentional words, this made Zhang Zhong believe that it was very likely Ning Feng had secretly kept the Spiritual Fruit.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhong became increasingly angry.

He fought bloody battles here to cover the retreat, almost losing his life, yet the Spiritual Fruit was still unaccounted for.

At this time, Xu Yin said softly again, "Brother Zhong, even if he took it, it's alright. At worst, the next team mission will prioritize splitting the rewards between the two of us."

"No, the reason for our success this time is mostly due to your contribution!"

Zhang Zhong didn't hear the insincerity in Xu Yin's words, he just waved his hand.

"If you hadn't gone invisible and risked taking the fruit out from the beast horde, how could he have gotten it!"

"Once we're out, I'll look for this kid. If he dares to secretly keep it, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Immediately, Zhang Zhong had the arriving Yan Country military help transport the corpses of the giant beasts, especially that Fire Leopard at Awakening Realm triple.

Being able to kill a ferocious beast at Awakening Realm triple is the greatest affirmation of his strength.

Moreover, nowadays, killing ferocious beasts can be exchanged for merit.

Currently, it's an extraordinary time. Although there is no war, hunting giant beasts, especially these powerful ferocious beasts, can earn military merit just by submitting them.

Heroes emerge in troubled times, and everyone wants to make their mark during this period.

Just as everyone was carrying out the post-battle cleanup work, a Giant Wolf appeared in the sky not far away.

"Xiao Dai, where exactly are you?"

Lu Chuan arrived near the battlefield, but still couldn't sense Xiao Dai, which made him extremely anxious.

Could something have happened to Xiao Dai?!

Looking at the corpses scattered everywhere below, and the large areas of scorched earth.

A thought that made Lu Chuan panic emerged.

But immediately after, Lu Chuan shook his head violently.

Impossible, Xiao Dai would never die so easily!

In Lu Chuan's eyes, Killing Intent began to spread.

The mark of the Power of Sensing cannot detect the other party's life signs.

Looking at so many human troops on the ground, and ability users.

And the ferocious beasts, some dead, some fled, it was hard for Lu Chuan not to think the worst.

"If Xiao Dai is really dead, I'll make all of you bury yourselves with her!"

Lu Chuan's eyes glowed with the red light of the Snow Mountain, his heart filled with towering rage, and the flames in his eyes almost turned into substance.

Arriving near the battlefield, Lu Chuan searched carefully. Fortunately, he didn't see Xiao Dai's corpse, which allowed Lu Chuan to slightly relax.

However, when looking at these humans around, Lu Chuan's eyes still held towering Killing Intent.

Such a large-scale battle happened here. Even if Xiao Dai didn't die on the battlefield, these people must have harmed his sister.

After all, these ability users are still slaughtering other wild beasts.

Maybe his sister was severely injured by these people and escaped into the depths of the mountain range.

"All of you, die!"

Lu Chuan immediately revealed his true form and directly pounced on a massive transport plane in the air that had just taken off, bringing it down.

Boom!

As the plane crashed to the ground, the earth was like an earthquake.

The people around were all startled by this sudden change.

Then everyone discovered that at this moment, a Giant Wolf appeared before them, measuring over ten meters long and nearly ten meters high!

For a moment, everyone was so scared they couldn't speak, with only terror left in their pupils.

According to current human research, the strength of these ferocious beasts is usually directly proportional to their body size.

In other words, the larger the body size, the stronger these ferocious beasts will be.

An ordinary Snow Wolf can grow to be as large as a small mountain, so one can imagine how formidable the opponent's strength would be!

That massive military transport plane was simply like a toy in front of this Giant Wolf.

The cabin door, made of high-strength alloy, was torn open with just one swipe.

The crew members inside the plane were all killed in the explosion.

Lu Chuan's body, which was almost like a small mountain, just standing there, emitted such immense beastly might that it made the legs of the ability users present go weak.

Even the people present didn't dare to look directly into Lu Chuan's ice-blue eyes.

It seemed those were not a pair of eyes, but an abyss that could swallow human Souls!

Everyone at this moment felt cold sweat instantly soak their backs.

Standing rooted to the spot, not daring to move, such a massive Giant Wolf was truly terrifying.

Especially Zhang Zhong, who had just dealt with Ren Qingyao earlier, now widened his eyes even more, his face filled with disbelief.

"This, this is the King Kong Wolf?!"

"In just this short amount of time, how did this beast become so massive?!"
