299 Cunning Beasts

Bald Eagle’s expression was full of disbelief. It was hard to imagine that in just a week, the Gray Howler that was hiding in Lushui County had actually improved its strength. Not only had the serious wound on its right arm completely healed, but its body had also become larger. It was obvious that its strength was no longer the same as before.

If it had been before, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf could have relied on their peak six-star abilities and the great power provided by the Spirit Wave Sword.

They could fight against the Gray Howler that had reached the peak of Rank 6. But now, they had consumed plenty of spirit energy to deal with the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf and the Wind-summoning Beast. Now, their strength was less than 60% to 70% of their peak.

They no longer had the confidence to defeat their opponent.

Even with help from the rest of the City Defense Army and the Hunter Bureau, they still could not reverse the situation.

After all, it was already difficult for the people from the beast-hunting bureau to deal with the Wind-summoning Beasts. Not to mention, they were all injured to varying degrees like arrows at the end of their flight.

They were less likely to be an effective force against the Gray Howler.

To stop the Gray Howler from further destroying Lushui County’s city walls and complete the mission given by the military headquarters, the two of them could only brace themselves and charge forward!

However, Bald Eagle was puzzled. Why did the Gray Howler suddenly appear at this time? How did its strength increase in such a short time? Were all these things really just coincidences?

Unfortunately, the current situation did not give him much time to think. Right then, the Gray Howler had already destroyed a large part of the city wall and discovered that not far away, the City Defense team Army cleaning up the battlefield.

The huge Gray Howler roared and pounced in the group’s direction.

Things were happening too quickly, and most of them only managed to react when they saw the Gray Howler charging at them like a small mountain.

Their expressions were filled with fear and confusion. It was hard to imagine what rank the behemoth before them was and why its strength was so terrifying.

The reinforced outer wall of Lushui County could at least withstand multiple attacks from Rank 6 monsters.

Yet, before this four-meter-tall monster, it was as fragile as paper. It was smashed apart in the blink of an eye.

Many people’s faces turned pale, and even those from the Hunter Bureau seemed desperate.

When they encountered such a huge beast, they did not even have the chance to escape. With their weak abilities, even if they resisted, they definitely would not be able to withstand a casual attack from the beast!

Just as they were about to fight back with all their might, two sounds of wind breaking suddenly came from the distance.

Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf both activated the Spirit Wave Sword, which was like a six-star light beam, and rushed over with a piercing light.

After seeing the two beams of light, the Gray Howler seemed to recall the fear of having its arm cut off by the Spirit Wave Sword a week ago. It immediately slowed its pace toward the City Defense Army, and he turned to escape out of the city.

“Catch up!”

Bald Eagle’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

This happened because they had let this guy go the last time. G.o.d knows how many lives had been lost to the Gray Howler and how many buildings it had destroyed while it traveled there from its hiding place. Now that they had suffered a great loss, they might as well give up their position as captains of the special forces if they made the same mistake again!

Without even considering Bald Eagle’s size, Lone Wolf took the lead and rushed out.

His hatred for the Gray Howler had already surpa.s.sed the normal hatred that humans had for beasts. He just wanted to kill it as soon as possible. Even if the monster’s strength was raised to peak Rank 6, it would not be able to alleviate Lone Wolf’s killing intent!

The two of them quickly caught up. Since they were consuming their spirit energy directly, they were even faster than the Gray Howler.

A few minutes later, the two of them had arrived at the border between the forest and the plain. It was a few kilometers away from Lushui County.

The Gray Howler had seemingly exhausted a lot of its energy. It suddenly fell to the ground and turned around, staring at the two people chasing after it with an angry face.

“Don’t even think about escaping. Today will be the day that you die!”

Lone Wolf held his Spirit Wave Sword and approached it with a face full of killing intent.

Bald Eagle frowned slightly as if he felt that something was wrong.

Although the ferocious beasts did not have much intelligence, they at least knew how to eat and fight.

The Gray Howler was now a pinnacle Rank 6 beast. If the two did not have the Spirit Wave Sword’s support, they would not have a chance of winning.

However, the beast was a high-level vicious beast, and it had seen the Spirit Wave Sword’s power. It would not deliberately stop when it knew that it was not their opponent.

With that in mind, Bald Eagle immediately observed their surroundings, wanting to know what the Gray Howler was relying on. Was it a special terrain, a trap, or something else that was disadvantageous to them?

Meanwhile, Lone Wolf was already less than 20 meters away from the Gray Howler. He was waving his Spirit Wave Sword, ready to kill the beast directly.

Bald Eagle was about to tell Lone Wolf to be careful, but before he could say anything, their surroundings suddenly changed!

On the plain surrounded by mountains, a gust of wind suddenly blew. Lone Wolf, who had countless battle experiences, suddenly had a bad feeling.

He immediately consumed his spirit energy and retreated like lightning.

At the spot where he had been standing, a black claw suddenly shot out.

The giant black claw was full of spikes and mud. Seeing that it had missed, its owner wanted to continue chasing, but at this point, Lone Wolf was already on guard, and he immediately swung his sword.

The monster seemed to know the Spirit Wave Sword’s power and immediately retracted its claws. Then, it directly burrowed out of the ground. Its pair of long and narrow eyes looked at the two of them with a bloodthirsty gaze.

A huge black spider had emerged from the soil under their feet.

The spider stood close to two meters tall. Its eight thick black legs were covered in thorns, and they were close to 1.5 meters long.

The spider’s body was fat and round, supported by its eight legs. There were three red rings on its tail, and there seemed to be silk floating in the air.

The spider’s head was huge, and its two poisonous fangs were beige in color, with bloodstains on them!

Aside from its two blood-red main eyes, the giant spider’s other three pairs of eyes were also glowing with a green light. It had already regarded the two people before it as delicious prey.

Pfft!

The giant spider could not hold back any longer. It took the lead and attacked Lone Wolf who was closest to it. With a flick of its tail, countless white spider threads spewed out, shrouding the sky and the earth as they shot toward the Lone Wolf.

Lone Wolf was prepared. The moment his opponent attacked, he dodged. Seeing the white spider silk fall to the ground and sizzle, his face suddenly became heavy.

“Hmph, I knew the Gray Howler had external help. If I hadn’t gone up to test him, who knows how long this thing would have hidden in the soil.”

Lone Wolf retreated to Bald Eagle’s side and pretended to be relaxed as he tilted his head and spoke.

Bald Eagle was no longer in the mood to comment on Lone Wolf’s reckless behavior. Although he had never seen the giant spider in front of him, he had seen pictures and information on it in the military archives.
