Chapter 151: Your Screams Will Be the Best Seasoning
The distress signal exploded in the sky like a bright moon, illuminating Battlefield No. 3.
Even the thick mist couldn’t obscure it, visible for dozens of miles around.
"It’s not far, let’s go."
Seeing the distress signal, Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi immediately rushed over.
Regardless of internal competition or fighting, that was an internal matter for humanity.
On the battlefield, when a distress signal was seen, nearby career holders would all come to help.
This was the rule, followed by all career holders.
Only by working together could humanity survive the Abyss threat until now.
The distress signal wasn’t far from Lin Moyu, only a few minutes away.
"Moyu, something’s wrong. The monsters here have all disappeared."
Ning Yiyi noticed something was off.
Since passing the central area, the number of monsters had been rapidly increasing.
Now as they rushed along, they hadn’t seen a single Abyss monster.
Then sharp laughter came from the mist.
"It’s a demon’s voice."
"Looks like these Man-Eaters were all summoned away by the demon."
Ning Yiyi quickly made a judgment.
Abyss demons had the ability to command monsters.
The career holders who sent the distress signal were likely under siege.
The two sped up again.
Hearing the cries of Man-Eaters, they passed through the thick mist and finally arrived.
Hundreds of Man-Eaters surrounded a group of people in layers, fiercely attacking.
9 people - two knights, three support, four damage dealers.
This team composition was uncommon.
Among the four damage dealers were a summoner, mage, archer, and a warrior.
The warrior was also acting as a knight, blocking the Man-Eaters’ attacks.
This team’s levels weren’t low. Though not yet 40, they were around 37-38.
With their team level, dealing with Man-Eaters wasn’t difficult. They should have had a chance to break out.
The key was the demon’s presence.
An Abyss demon was in the air, occasionally attacking them, putting huge pressure on the knights.
Every time the knights tried to break out, they were blocked by it.
The Abyss demon had a wolf-like face, somewhat similar to Dog Demons, but with a completely different aura.
It had no wings, riding a huge blue wolf.
The blue wolf had wings on its back, with exposed fangs, looking extremely fierce.
Lin Moyu had seen this type of demon in the materials.
It was called an Abyss Wolf Demon.
Wolf Demons were an extremely large population in the Abyss.
They were born in pairs, one growing into a Wolf Demon, the other into a Blue Wolf mount.
The relationship between the Abyss Wolf Demon and its Blue Wolf mount was more like brothers.
The two coordinated perfectly, far stronger than Abyss Dog Demons.
The Abyss Wolf Demon repeatedly blocked the knights from breaking out, letting out piercing laughter.
It looked like it was toying with its opponents.
Lin Moyu could see that if it really wanted to kill, this team might not have lasted until now.
He cast Detection.
[Abyss Wolf Demon (Ordinary Demon)]
[Level: 38]
[Strength: 12000]
[Agility: 10000]
[Spirit: 3000]
[Constitution: 9000]
[Skills: Howl Attack, Bite]
Indeed stronger than Abyss Dog Demons, but still far from enough in Lin Moyu’s eyes.
The only trouble was that it could fly, and quite fast.
If it tried to escape, he would have trouble catching it.
"Need to think of a way to lure it down."
Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi exchanged a glance, seeing the same idea in each other’s eyes.
Sensing the Detection spell, the Abyss Wolf Demon turned to look at Lin Moyu.
Its fangs flashed coldly as it let out a sharp laugh, "Tsk tsk, someone finally came."
"Oh, just a little level 26 kid, and a level 25 girl."
"The girl looks tender and delicious, should taste good."
It had deliberately surrounded without killing, waiting for the career holders to send a distress signal.
Waiting for others to come, wanting to kill more.
The demon’s voice reached the surrounded career holders, their hearts sinking.
What were level 26 people doing here? Coming to die?
The Abyss Wolf Demon stared at Ning Yiyi, licking its fangs as saliva dripped, "I’ll eat you first."
As it spoke, it flew rapidly towards Ning Yiyi.
Its eyes flashed with bloodthirst, excited to taste a delicacy.
Ning Yiyi cried out in alarm, hiding behind Lin Moyu.
"Hiding is useless. Your fate is sealed!"
"I’ll eat you bit by bit. First your hands, then your thighs. I won’t let you die until I finish eating."
"Your screams will be the best seasoning."
The Abyss Wolf Demon laughed wildly. In its eyes, Ning Yiyi was already a dish on the table.
It didn’t notice that Ning Yiyi’s eyes held no fear, only a smile of success.
"Boy, you go die. Don’t interfere with my meal!" The Abyss Wolf Demon charged over, raising its claws.
Cold light flashed on its claws, no less sharp than the keenest weapon.
Bang!
Bone Armor appeared, blocking its attack.
What’s going on?
It hadn’t reacted yet.
Then with a hum, a red shackle appeared above its head.
What’s this?
The Abyss Wolf Demon looked up, its movements countless times slower than normal.
Not just it, but the Blue Wolf beneath it also slowed down completely.
As it looked up, skeleton warriors had already surrounded it.
Skeletons grabbed the Blue Wolf’s legs. Their blades flashed with brilliant red light as they hacked at the wolf’s wings.
More skeleton warriors jumped up, climbing onto its body.
Screams dragged out in long notes, spreading around in a strange tone.
The Slow Curse’s range was very large. Even the Man-Eaters besieging the career holders were affected.
They all moved as slow as turtles.
"What’s happening?"
"Why did it suddenly become like this?"
"This is... the power of a curse!"
"Good chance, break out immediately!"
Under the curse, the Man-Eaters’ attacks slowed greatly, their threat to the career holders much reduced.
Seeing this, the knights immediately led the team to break out.
The two knights cleared the way in front, a berserker guarded the rear. The team quickly escaped the Man-Eaters’ encirclement.
Before they left the Man-Eaters’ range, they suddenly heard a miserable scream.
It came from the Abyss Wolf Demon.
The Abyss Wolf Demon had been chopped to death. Even the Blue Wolf beneath it was just a corpse.
The Abyss Wolf Demon didn’t understand what had happened until its death.
Why was this mere level 26 kid so powerful?
Why was it completely helpless?
Lin Moyu hadn’t actively attacked, just waiting for it to come.
The curse plus the skeleton warriors’ skill burst and encirclement killed it in moments.
[Killed Abyss Wolf Demon, Experience +1,900,000, Military Merit +100]
[Obtained Demon Blood Essence]
[Demon Blood Essence: Contains Abyss power. Alchemists and blacksmiths can use its power to craft equipment.]
After the rescued team broke out of the encirclement, they saw the Abyss Wolf Demon’s corpse.
"It’s actually dead."
"How did he do it?"
"Isn’t he only level 26?"
"How was a demon killed so quickly?"
Under their shocked gazes, Lin Moyu said softly to them, "Retreat 100 meters. I’m going to clear the field."
They were stunned, not reacting for a moment.
Clear the field? Clear what?
Why did they need to retreat 100 meters?
Ning Yiyi poked her head out, "You should leave quickly, or you might get caught in it."
Though they couldn’t believe the two’s words, the Abyss Wolf Demon’s death was a fact.
Better safe than sorry.
They exchanged glances and decided to retreat.
By now the Man-Eaters had caught up. Several skeletons met them, killing several Man-Eaters in two or three strikes.
"Such strong attack power!"
Man-Eaters weren’t tough, but they shouldn’t die in just two or three hits.
Then, a huge boom!
The group was startled.
A blast of air hit their faces like a gale.
Looking again, an area in front of Lin Moyu was empty.
Dozens of Man-Eaters lay dead in all directions.
They clicked their tongues...
This power, if it hit them, they’d be dead or crippled!
Then two more massive explosions in succession.
Another large group of Man-Eaters died.
Swallowing hard, "Where the hell did this expert come from?"
"Is he really only level 26... He’s killing way too easily."
"His summons are so strong too. Are there really careers this powerful?"
