Chapter 42 (2/2)
The instant Zhang Yangping saw Fang Zhengzhi fleeing, he had also thought of retreat. But thinking of the injuries the Blue Fire Wolf had suffered, he definitely couldn't give up this opportunity easily.
”Charge!” Using his voice and through his actions, Zhang Yangping took the lead and sent a message to all the hunting squad members. He was determined to kill the Blue Fire Wolf.
”Charge!” The rest of the hunting squad members, seeing that even their deputy captain didn't retreat, naturally also lost any intention of retreating.
Under the charge of Zhang Yangping, the twenty over hunting squad members quickly surrounded the Blue Fire Wolf, then, things became much simpler. Long blades hacked down, the spears thrusted forwards…
This kind of coordination was something they had already done countless times.
The only thing different this time was that this time, their foe was a king, the Blue Fire Wolf, the lone wolf that ruled the Cang Ling Mountain outskirts, a real monster.
The consequences were obvious.
How could twenty over hunting squad members defeat the infuriated Blue Fire Wolf?
The Blue Fire Wolf's speed, coupled with its unparalleled agility and control over its body, and in addition to its thick and solid coat of fur, left the twenty over hunting squad members simply unable to significantly harm it at all.
After merely a few moves, several hunting squad members were injured. Moreover, there was even a hunting squad member who was slashed by the Blue Fire Wolf's claws, tearing out a large piece of flesh…
Zhang Yangping instantly panicked.
Under normal circ.u.mstances, they would run once they encountered the Blue Fire Wolf. They had never truly fought with the Blue Fire Wolf, but seeing the fight between Fang Zhengzhi and the Blue Fire Wolf outside just now…
It had been sent flying by a kick, and stumbled backwards after a punch.
This insinuated some a.s.sumptions in Zhang Yangping's mind.
If it wasn't for this reason, he wouldn't even have had taken such a huge risk, bringing the entire hunting squad under the tooth and claws of the Blue Fire Wolf.
”It's over, it's over…” Zhang Yangping hands trembled slightly. He never expected such a huge change of events. Even if he wanted to retreat now, it would simply be impossible.
Once they ran, the Blue Fire Wolf would definitely seize the opportunity and pounce over. Even under the most conservative of estimates, there would definitely not be less than five lives lost.
But, if they were to fight on like this, how many more people would die?
Dreadfully...
The entire hunting square would die here?
What to do?
What was he supposed to do now?
Distracted by his thoughts, Zhang Yangping's movement strayed. The blade that initially hacked towards the Blue Fire Wolf's head strayed from its line of movement and directly hacked onto a piece of stone below the Blue Fire Wolf's feet.
Not needing to dodge, the Blue Fire Wolf instantly seized this opportunity.
An icy glint of death radiated from its faint blue pupils, shooting out, it had already pounced right in front of Zhang Yangping. Its two sharp claws grabbed onto Zhang Yangping's raised arms, then opening its ferocious mouth, it bit down towards Zhang Yangping's throat…
”Deputy captain!”
”Deputy captain?!”
”...”
When the hunting members witnessed this scene, a wave of alarmed cries resounded. But, the Blue Fire Wolf was too fast, even if they wished to save him, they would still have absolutely no way to stop the bite of the Blue Fire Wolf.
Its razor-sharp teeth emanated a b.l.o.o.d.y yet icy smell.
Zhang Yangping's eyes widened. Even the usually calm him completely lost all forms of resistance faced with this sudden change of events.
All he could do… was to stand still and wait for the impending kiss of death!
The air, at this moment seemed to congeal and thicken.
The world…
Was so quiet that he could hear the sound of his heart beat.
”Psss.h.!.+”
Bright-red blood spurt out like a fountain, forming a beautiful lotus-like flower in mid-air.
