Chapter 18: Surrounded by Wolves

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Bang!

Several huge logs rolled down, blocking their path.

If the driver hadn’t braked in time, the car would have been destroyed.

“What happened?”

Chu Yi sensed that something was wrong and immediately called out to Bi Ka. He looked ahead and asked.

“There seems to be a situation. There’s a landslide in this section. We have to turn around and change our route.”

The middle-aged driver wiped his sweat and cursed. He was about to turn around.

Chu Yi narrowed his eyes.

There were few passersby in this area, so it was not safe.

With one hand on the door handle, he could get out of the car and run at any time.

[Progress: … 11%…]

“Phew!”

A huge ball of flames drew a perfect parabola in the night sky and smashed down.

“Holy shit!”

The middle-aged driver was scared out of his wits.

He stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel. The car turned a corner and barely avoided it.

Boom—

The fireball exploded less than a meter behind the car. The violent shockwave shook the entire car, illuminating the vision under the night sky.

The car window cracked and the glass shattered into snowflakes.

“F*ck, could it be a monster attack?”

The driver had a look of lingering fear on his face. He was so frightened that his wig fell off. Then, his heart ached for the broken window. He had to spend money to pay for it.

Soon, a man wearing a firebird mask appeared in front of the car. A sinister smile appeared on his face as he walked over step by step.

A red vulture stood on his shoulder with a candle burning slowly on its head.

The ominous portent made the driver’s hair stand on end. He quickly reminded the half-asleep Chu Yi.

“Young man, run! This is a dangerous man!”

At this moment, the firebird-masked man snapped his fingers.

“Burn!”

The Inferno Bird flapped its wings and soared into the sky. An eye-catching flame suddenly shot out from its mouth. The line of fire spread in the air, causing the temperature of this dry and quiet path to immediately increase.

As an ordinary driver, his hands and feet were stiff from fear.

When the flames engulfed most of his vision, a scorching aura licked his body.

Before he died, scenes were played one after another.

I can’t accept this…

It wasn’t easy for him to have a happy family, a gentle wife and a child who had just started kindergarten…

The details of his life were wonderful.

When he called his wife, he would run around at night to train his body. The neighbors were on good terms. The water pipes at home were broken. Old Wang, who was next door, often came to repair them. He even said that the water pipes had to be unblocked many times so that it would not be easy to clog up…

‘Aye?’

For a moment, the driver had a flash of insight and understood something. His face turned red and his body trembled.

At this moment, he was shocked to realize that he was not burned by the flames. Instead, he was completely fine.

In front of the car, a fox the size of a wolfhound crouched on the hood of the car.

Amidst the violent airflow around it, the orange-red fur sparkled like a ball of raging fire.

In front of its forehead, a spark intertwined with a cross, dazzling and eye-catching.

“Uncle, run away as soon as possible. This is not a place for you to stay.”

A flat voice came from the backseat.

Chu Yi got out of the car with his hands in his pockets. His thin figure left a slender shadow under the fire.

The driver was stunned by this scene.

The young man riding the carriage was actually a genius Beast Tamer. He was very capable and looked very reliable!

Immediately, he yanked off his seat belt, turned his head and ran.

“Young man, be careful!”

[Progress: … 24%…]

“It’s really [Critical Strike]!”

The firebird-masked man’s pupils constricted and a hint of greed appeared on his face.

He was a fire-element Beast Tamer and was very interested in this. He had the urge to contract the other party as a pet beast.

“Inferno Bird, use Flame Charge!”

He gave the order.

The Phase 2 Stage 6 Inferno Bird immediately let out a cry and spiraled into the sky, charging into the sky and falling towards Bi Ka.

“Bi Ka, shoot the Beast Tamer!”

Chu Yi ordered.

“Wuu!”

Bi Ka’s vertical pupils stared fixedly at the firebird man. The cross-shaped sparks turned into a pillar of flames that struck the night sky at an extraordinary speed.

“Idiot.”

The corners of the firebird man’s mouth curled up and his figure became illusory.

This was the skill of the Inferno Bird, Fire Shadow. It turned the master into a ball of flames, immune to fire-type attacks and replenishing spiritual energy.

“Chirp!”

The Inferno Bird raised a wave of sharp blades and struck Bi Ka.

Bi Ka also raised its palm.

The claw blade spat out sharp light and a ball of flames coiled around it as it activated [Fierce Claw].

Swoosh!

The two crossed each other, producing a clanging sound as sparks flew in all directions.

“Woowoo!”

Bi Ka’s cheek hurt as it was sent flying by the blow.

The overlapping momentum from the sky was not something it could withstand. The fur on its defense was also covered in wounds and blood.

On the other hand, the Inferno Bird staggered and its speed decreased drastically.

It did not expect this red fox’s combat strength to be different from what it looked like on the surface. That claw was really powerful.

“Chirp chirp!”

Just as it swooped back, a large handful of lime spilled over.

“Sneak attack!”

Immediately after, a dark red lightning flashed across the Inferno Bird’s abdomen.

“Pfft!”

There was a chill in its stomach.

The Inferno Bird’s pupils dilated. There was a bloody wound on its abdomen, which was elongated by the inertia of flying.

In a moment, the Inferno Bird made a creaking sound, as if it was choking.

After that, like a kite with a broken string, it flew around randomly before crashing to the ground like a plane. It exploded into a small pit and its entire body twitched.

It was severely injured in one strike!

Chu Yi’s [Ghost Hand] had devoured so many souls that it had long since reached Phase 2 Stage 2.

With the development, his [Tear Claw] became more and more proficient and its destructive power increased by a large margin.

If a second-phase pet beast’s defense was below the elite level, it would definitely be pierced through by his claw and be as brittle as paper.

Previously, Bi Ka and him discussed tactics.

It would first clash head-on with the Inferno Bird and break its momentum, then give Chu Yi a chance to launch a sneak attack.

Under the gaze of the second Bizarre Beast, the hit rate was very high.

“What, my Inferno bird!”

The firebird man’s attention had been on Bi Ka, so it did not pay attention to Chu Yi’s actions at all. Instead, he mistakenly thought that the other party had used some method.

“Bi Ka, kill it!”

Chu Yi fed Bi Ka a cup of banquet food to revive its strength.

“Wuu!”

Bi Ka lowered its body slightly and adjusted its explosive posture. Sparks floated and turned into raging flames that lingered around its body.

The skill, [Big Spark], formed an armor with weak defense.

Swoosh!

Bi Ka jumped up.

Like a war chariot, it quickly crossed a hundred meters and pounced on the Inferno Bird, slapping its head with Fierce Claw.

Bang!

Blood splattered everywhere!

Under the continuous Fierce Claw attack, the Inferno Bird finally stopped moving and died tragically.

It was so fast that even the firebird man could not stop it in time.

“No!”

Sensing that its bond with the pet beast had been broken, the firebird man spat out a mouthful of blood.

He never expected that his Inferno Bird which had the advantage over would actually be killed in a single move!?

Furthermore, how could this red fox recover so quickly!

“Tell me, who sent you?”

Chu Yi stared at the Firebird man and said coldly.

In the next moment…

His pupils were constricted.

With his sharp mental strength, he sensed that there were three… four people in the surroundings!

Not only that! The number was increasing…
