15. The lord is crowned king, the Silver Moon Wolf!
"Did you discover something?"
As a close friend, Lu Gang knew that Ron was not someone who liked to joke or make a mountain out of a molehill.
If he says there is danger, then there must be danger in the surrounding area!
Without even taking a few more bites of the compressed biscuits, Lu Gang hurriedly stuffed them into his mouth and walked to the window with his Blood Shadow Battle Blade.
In the summer in the South, it's not just martial artists who feel the heat; monsters feel it too.
If it's a scale-like monster, then it's a little better; you can barely see any signs of activity, or maybe it's out sunbathing or something.
But if it's a fur-bearing monster, it's usually resting in a cool, shady house at this time.
Looking around, apart from a few scattered silver moon wolves, no other monsters were found on the entire street.
It was as if this peace could continue as long as the balance wasn't broken.
But is that really the case?
"Luo, what's your opinion on this?"
"That's strange!"
"It is true that Silver Moon Wolves are social animals, but don't forget that they also have another title - the hunter!"
Among monsters of the same level, few can match the strength of the Silver Moon Wolf.
Therefore, even when going out hunting, there are at most seven or eight, and in most cases, it is like the three-headed configuration we encountered before.
Moreover, the Silver Moon Wolves are highly territorial, and it is difficult for other monsters to exist in their habitat.
But now, let's think about it carefully: how many Silver Moon Wolves have we encountered along the way?
This density is abnormally high!
Moreover, despite the sweltering heat, they did not rest but instead hunted tirelessly, compounded by their unfamiliarity with the terrain.
It's clear that this group of monsters are outsiders from somewhere else.
Their numbers and habits all hinted at something strange; this was definitely not normal!
Looking at the two fingers Ron held up, and figuring out the key point, Lu Gang couldn't help but frown.
"It does seem to be the same as what you said, but why is that?"
"There are two possibilities!"
Amidst the growing tension in everyone's expressions, Ron finally spoke up.
"I suspect that they are acting under orders, as they are carrying out large-scale operations and trespassing into the territory of other monsters to hunt or search for human warriors!"
Even a Beast General-level warrior couldn't command so many Silver Moon Wolves; to accomplish this, at least a Lord-level monster would be needed.
As for why...
The situation is slightly better; the human warrior injured that lord-level monster, or stole something from it, and was subsequently hunted down by its entire clan!
"Wow, this is still a little better!"
Lord-level monsters are equivalent to war god-level warriors among humans, and if it is the Silver Moon Wolf, it is conservatively estimated that only a mid-level war god can deal with it.
In this situation, coupled with so many wolves and their offspring, even a high-level war god would probably not fare well.
Trying to escape with your life from under the noses of these wolves is harder than climbing to heaven!
"Never mind that kid, Lao Luo, keep going. What if things get worse?"
Ron: "The only answer I can think of for hunting so many human warriors in such a grand manner is that the lord is somewhat restless and wants to break through to become a king-level monster after accumulating enough foundation."
Just like when human martial artists are certified in a certain level, they will kill monsters of the corresponding level.
When a monster is crowned king, others will follow suit and launch a blood sacrifice.
The practice of sacrificing human lives for the throne is documented in the Extreme Martial Arts Academy's database!
"boom!"
Like a stone thrown into a calm lake, Ron's words, though spoken softly, created ripples that were anything but small!
Not to mention Lu Gang, even Jiang Nian, who had the best mentality, couldn't help but sit up and assume a fighting stance.
There's no way around it, that's a King-level monster, an existence above the God of War!
It's no exaggeration to say that every King-level monster is a natural disaster!
It is an existence that requires a councilor above the God of War level, or firepower at the base city level, to deal with.
As for them...
They were just a group of martial artists who weren't even war gods. In front of such an existence, they weren't even ants.
"Uncle Luo...you...you're joking, right?"
"Our luck can't be this bad, can it?"
Before they had even faced a King-level monster, Lu Gang, seeing that Jiang Nian could barely speak, kicked him in exasperation.
"The enemy has a gun pointed at your head. Are you going to gamble that there are no bullets in his gun?"
If you want to survive, you have to prepare for the worst!
Not to mention that the Silver Moon Wolves are still active at this moment, the one hidden in the shadows has obviously not yet become a King-level monster.
Even if it really works out, City 003 isn't that big, but it's not small either.
Finding us here isn't exactly like finding a needle in a haystack, but it's definitely not an easy task either. What the hell are you afraid of?!
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound!
Although I knew that Lu Gang's words were meant to reassure the troops, I have to admit that they were quite effective.
When it comes to gambling on luck, Jiang Nian is really not afraid!
"Old Luo, what do you think we should do now?"
Should we continue the operation, or should we cut our losses and evacuate first?
This place is not safe. Not only Lu Gang, but Ron also doesn't want to gamble, after all, his wife is still here.
With my own strength, I can come back after I send them away!
However, before Ron could make a decision...
With a loud "boom".
The sudden explosion sounded so abrupt in the otherwise silent city.
Picking up his binoculars and looking towards the source of the explosion, Ron spotted a group of human martial artists.
Judging from their clothing, the other party should be a military fighter, and they appeared at a subway entrance.
Since the Great Nirvana, most of the monsters have changed in size, making it difficult for them to enter the subway.
In addition, the underground network of passageways made it difficult for monsters to distinguish directions, thus becoming a natural passage for martial artists.
For example, in the original story, Lord Luo escaped by relying on underground passages after stealing the Ironclad Dragon's egg.
What Luo Feng did, the military warriors would naturally do as well.
Unfortunately, they were a bit unlucky. Just as they were about to leave, they encountered the Silver Moon Wolves and had no choice but to use bombs, causing this commotion.
Without rescue, this group of military warriors probably wouldn't have lasted until reinforcements arrived.
"Old Luo, what do you mean? They're all martial artists from Great Xia, should we save them or not?"
"certainly!"
Besides being a martial artist from the Great Xia Dynasty, one can also infer from the direction the other party retreated and the level of hatred shown by the wolf pack.
Unsurprisingly, they definitely had some kind of conflict with that lord-level monster.
In order to create the Black God Set, Ron did indeed need firsthand information!
"I'll go there. Even if things don't go well, I can get away easily. Lao Lu, you and Jiang Fang stay here and protect Wu Tong and Jiang Nian. I'll be right back!"
"this……"
Lu Gang and Jiang Fang originally went along, but when they saw Ron flying towards the battlefield at an incredible speed on his hexagonal metal shield, they felt powerless to move.
Mentalists are amazing, they can even fly!
If that's the case, then it would be more convenient for Ron to act alone. Their presence would not only be unhelpful but would also be a burden.
"Get upstairs and set up the sniper rifle for me. We can't get through here ourselves, but we still need to provide some fire support for the brothers!"
