Age of Calamity in Swallowed Star

Chapter 18: Firelight!

Following the instructions of the "Nine Transformations Manual," Lin Ye was making steady progress in cultivating his Genetic Force, and the speed at which he absorbed cosmic energy continued to increase.

At the same time.

Four hundred kilometers away from Shelter 057, in the wilderness.

On the desolate land, a pack of forty enormous Silver Moon Giant Wolves were charging wildly across the open country, creating bursts of wind.

Thick clouds obscured the moon, and the land was plunged into dimness.

Under the heavy cloak of night.

The pack of giant wolves sprinted at full speed like shadows, as if chasing something.

Amidst the flying dust, each giant wolf left deep imprints with every step, raising a long gray dragon of dust behind them.

If Lin Ye were here, he would surely notice that each Silver Moon Giant Wolf was excessively large.

Compared to the giant wolf he had killed before, these were one to four times larger.

Even the weakest one was at the Elementary Beast General level.

At the same time,

Five kilometers ahead of the wolf pack, the figures of three men and one woman were also running wildly in the dark night.

The sound of the night wind whistling past their ears, and the uniform General badges on their arms, indicated that this was an elite General-level team.

However, at this moment, this elite team appeared to have encountered some great disaster, their momentum greatly weakened, no longer at their peak.

Regardless of gender, they all bore injuries, with drops of blood dripping from their wounds to the ground.

The once incomparably powerful Intermediate Generals, chased by the Beast General wolf pack, were covered in blood and forced to flee in disarray.

As their stamina rapidly depleted, their speed also decreased… and the distance to the wolf pack grew ever closer.

However, even in such circumstances, they did not give up.

Every second, they were running forward with all their might, not allowing themselves any reservation or slackening.

Crossing wastelands, stepping through groves, leaping over hills and mounds… the four warriors sprinted through this seemingly endless, deep night…

"What do we do now?"

One of the lean man warrior tore off a piece of clothing while running, tied up his bleeding, severed arm, and gritted his teeth, saying: "At this rate, we'll be rounded up by these beasts sooner or later!"

The darkness could conceal their figures, but it could not hide the scent of blood on them.

Following the scent, the Silver Moon Wolf Pack could hunt down their prey to the very end in the wilderness.

"Don't panic, our most important task is to transmit the message back to the human base, to tell them that the Silver Moon Giant Wolves are quietly gathering,

and their target is most likely Shelter 057 and Shelter 070, as well as the surrounding human shelters,

and may even be intending to attack the South Shore Fortress after attacking the shelters."

"We can die, but the message must be sent back, so that the military can prepare in advance!"

Otherwise, the massive beast tide led by the three Lord-level monsters would be another huge disaster for Mountain City."

"We must not let such a tragedy happen."

The oldest bald-headed General in the team spoke, his words resounding with determination.

He was burly, carrying a large iron hammer on his back, looking very much like a blacksmith.

"Cough cough… cough cough cough."

"Second Brother is right, we must send the message back." Another male General responded, blood constantly seeping from his mouth, obviously suffering from severe internal injuries.

Female Warrior: "…"

In fact, they knew very well that these Beast General-level Silver Moon Giant Wolves, whose intelligence was no less than that of humans, would never allow any of them to leave alive.

The reason they had been able to escape until now, apart from a glimmer of hope exchanged for by the desperate fighting of many team members, was that these Beast Generals harbored a trace of the idea of toying with their prey.

Coincidentally, the four of them glanced at the communication devices on their bodies, which were already torn to pieces, and couldn't help but think of the team members who were trapped in the encirclement and resisted to the death.

A deep sense of grief inevitably welled up in everyone's heart.

As expected of the Silver Moon Wolf Pack, which had given birth to two Intermediate Lords and one Elementary Lord, they had chosen to lure the enemy deep, and then set up an ambush as a group to await the opportunity.

Most importantly, these Beast General-level wolves intentionally damaged the communication equipment of human warriors during the battle, playing tricks to mock human warriors.

Such intelligence was indeed not something ordinary monsters could compare to!

As the wolf pack shortened the distance of the chase, they could even hear the excited howls.

On a small hill, the few people paused briefly.

A trace of determination flashed in the depths of the eyes of the leading bald man, as if he had made some kind of decision.

"Little Sister, you go first, I, your Second Brother, and Fifth Brother will hold back these beasts."

"No, we'll die together if we have to die. I've already lost Big Brother and Fourth Brother, and I can't lose you again!"

The Third Brother roared furiously.

"Are you not leaving yet? Do you want to die here with us, and then have several shelters and fortresses destroyed by the beast tide?!"

"Awoo…呜呜!!"

Behind them, the distant but clear enough howl made everyone's body turn cold.

At this moment, the lean man, whose physical strength was severely overdrawn, hardly had the strength to pant.

He stretched out his hand towards the woman and weakly shouted: "Little Sister… run… as long as you can live… our Razor Team… will still exist… Go… don't worry about us… go!!"

"…"

Speechless for a moment, the female warrior took a deep look at her three brothers, and quickly turned and left… behind her, came the last voice of the bald-headed general: "Little Sister, don't die! Live… avenge me and all the dead brothers!!!"

Thump thump thump!!

The sound of the wolf pack stomping on the ground was getting closer and closer, and even the wolf howls were close at hand, gradually approaching…

"Brothers, are you afraid?" The one-armed general, Fifth Brother, said with a smile, a smile that was extremely cold and cheerful.

On the hillside, three figures stood against the wind, facing the pursuing beast tide, like three indestructible Great Walls, standing here.

"Afraid of a ball, does being afraid mean these beasts will let us go?" The bald-headed boss spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes becoming more and more resolute.

He planted the giant iron hammer behind him on the ground, with the air of one man guarding the pass, and ten thousand men unable to open it, "Even if we die, we have to kill some monsters to cushion our fall, and kick them around on the road to the Yellow Springs…"

"I'm not afraid either. Since I chose to be a warrior, I've already put life and death out of my mind,

"What's more, our Razor Team already has the continuation of the fire, so we're not afraid."

"It's just a pity…"

The lean man gently wiped his battle blade, as gently as treating a new bride.

The night was dim, and the battle blade reflected a dull black light, with wisps of man-eating murderous aura escaping from the blade.

He looked back at the direction in which the female warrior was running, and sighed in a low voice: "It's just that I can't see what our Little Sister looks like when she gets married, and I don't know which kid is so unlucky that he'll marry our Little Sister, this iceberg beauty."

"Hahaha!!!"

The three men's hearty laughter dissipated with the wind.

After laughing, the three Intermediate Generals looked at the increasingly approaching Beast General wolf pack in the distance, and quickly set up a minefield around them.

After burying all the high-explosive grenades on their bodies, the three stood side by side, looked at each other, and calmly stepped into the center of the minefield.

The vibration of the giant wolves stepping on the ground was close to their ears, and the excited howls were getting closer and closer…

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

In the earth-shattering murderous aura, the three male warriors waved their weapons towards the wolf pack.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

…

Explosions erupted, and fire soared into the sky, with several giant wolves in the center of the minefield being overturned on the spot, their limbs blown off or their bodies injured.

Many of the surrounding Beast Generals were also stunned on the spot by the sudden burst of shockwaves.

Accompanied by a large number of wails, the surrounding dry grass quickly burned, gradually controlling everything around it in an ever-larger sea of fire.

The young woman did not stop at all, and two long trails of tears silently slid down her face, which was always covered in frost…

…
