After much thought, Wang Yong finally spoke, “That group of beasts are blocking the highway from the Linjiang Army camp to us.”

“Even a Linjiang Army squad was attacked by them, with only one person escaping alive.”

“I think we shouldn’t act rashly.Full novel: Myriad Mirrors — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

The most important thing to do now is to gather intelligence, confirm their numbers, and locate their lair.”

“Once the Linjiang Army sends more people, we can encircle them in one fell swoop and wipe out that group of monsters!”

Wang Gangjian nodded upon hearing this, “That’s a good idea, let’s do it.”

“Take Old Song, and let’s go scout them out.”

Wang Yong nodded and immediately went out to make arrangements.

A moment later, the three of them boarded a minivan.

The three were Wang Gangjian, Wang Yong, and Song Dayi.

Plus Tang Jinchuan.

These four were all the Transcendent of Black Fang Security Company.

However, the company always needed someone to stay behind.

This duty was given to Tang Jinchuan.

However, before the minivan could start, a figure stumbled over.

Followed by a panting fat man.

“Brother Jian, he insisted on coming over,” Tang Jinchuan said helplessly.

Wang Gangjian looked at the pale-faced man in front of him and sighed softly, “Zhuang Qiang, you’re so seriously injured, don’t follow us.”

The man was Zhuang Qiang.

After he and Sun Meng escorted Zheng Baoshan back to the Linjiang Province Life Science Research Institute, they received orders to lead a Linjiang Army squad south again, intending to support Black Fang Security Company and clear the Advanced zombies in Donghu City.

However, this time, they had just passed through the highway when they were ambushed by a pack of giant wolves.

Aside from him, the other five members of the squad perished.

Zhuang Qiang is a first-level Transcendent, with strong physical qualities.

He escaped and hid all the way, thus avoiding the pursuit of the giant wolves and barely reaching Black Fang Security Company.

He growled, “I want to go.

The brothers of the Linjiang Army cannot die in vain.”

Wang Gangjian shook his head firmly, “No, your injuries are too severe.

It’s best to stay here and recover.”

“When your injuries heal, you’ll have the chance to take revenge with your own hands.”

Zhuang Qiang gritted his teeth, “My talent is Wood Spirit, and I can gather intelligence through plants.”

“Aren’t you trying to scout the giant wolves?

I’m the most suitable.”

Wang Gangjian and the other two exchanged glances, raising their eyebrows.

Transcendent talents are diverse and strange; everyone’s talent is unique.

Zhuang Qiang’s ability to use plants as his eyes and ears indeed made him very suitable for this job.

Wang Gangjian nodded seriously, “Alright then, you’ll come with us, and we’ll protect your safety throughout.”

Zhuang Qiang then showed a hint of a smile and also got into the car.

The minivan sped away, heading straight for the northernmost highway of Donghu City.

Donghu City is just a small city, and that highway was the only bridge connecting Donghu City with the Linjiang Army.

Every previous support mission from the Linjiang Army also passed through this highway.

If another route were taken, efficiency and safety would significantly decrease.

Therefore, all obstacles on this highway must be cleared.

Including Transcendent animals that have evolved under the influence of psionic energy.

At the same time Wang Gangjian and the other three departed from Black Fang Security Company, a sword hum echoed over the highway.

From within the clouds, a figure emerged.

With a handsome face, a straight posture, and an imposing Evil Qi.

It was none other than the Wuji Sect Cultivator, Chu Xuan!

Chu Xuan casually chose a flat spot to land.

This highway seemed to have frequent vehicle traffic, as all the scrapped cars had been towed to the sides.

With a casual wave of his hand, Little Dragon, Little Tiger, and the six Yin Corpses appeared beside him.

“Where were you ambushed?” Chu Xuan asked.

Little Tiger roared and pointed ahead.

Chu Xuan nodded and walked quickly.

He moved extremely fast, covering a distance of several hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

Here, a pickup truck had broken down.

Judging by the tracks, it shouldn’t have been more than three days ago.

The words “Linjiang Army” were still clearly visible on the truck’s surface.

There were many claw marks on the vehicle’s surface, and some signs of battle and spilled blood around it.

Additionally, he also saw many wolf hairs.

At this moment, a faint sound suddenly came from the woods on the right side of the highway.

It sounded like a cry for help.

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow and strode forward.

As he got closer, he heard the sound more clearly.

It was actually the cry of a baby.

His gaze swept through the woods.

Soon, he located a pile of blood-stained clothes.

The pile of clothes was subtly trembling.

The crying was coming from inside the pile of clothes.

Chu Xuan walked quickly.

Little Dragon, Little Tiger, and the other Yin Corpses also followed.

No matter who it was, upon hearing a baby’s cry, they would feel compassion.

Even a heinous murderer would hesitate for a moment.

But Chu Xuan did not.

When he was still fifty meters from the pile of clothes.

His lowered right hand had already accumulated a Nether Fire Bullet.

When he was only ten meters from the pile of clothes, he suddenly raised his hand and directly threw the Nether Fire Bullet over.

Boom!

A violent explosion sounded.

The pile of clothes and the trees were blown away.

Along with them flew fresh, red flesh and blood.

Plop.

A piece of fur-covered flesh landed at Chu Xuan’s feet.

The fur was long and thick, clearly not human hair.

But, wolf fur.

“Psionic energy is truly strange, allowing you to learn to attract the ignorant with a baby’s cry.”

“It’s just a pity your brains aren’t smart enough.”

Chu Xuan said calmly, “There are no living people near the highway.

How could an abandoned baby have such a loud cry?”

As soon as his words fell, more than a dozen figures emerged from deep within the forest.

Each figure was over three meters tall, with exceptionally agile postures.

With a light leap, they could jump five or six meters.

In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Chu Xuan and his Yin Corpses from all directions.

On a giant rock not far away.

A giant wolf, over five meters long and taller than two men, stood silently, overlooking Chu Xuan.

In its sole remaining eye, a cold, bloodthirsty light flickered.

Clearly, it was the Wolf King.

Chu Xuan observed the Wolf King’s muscular physique with interest, a satisfied smile on his face.

This Wolf King should be a second-level Transcendent animal.

Among the wolf pack it commanded, there were also several first-level Transcendent animals.

The rest of the giant wolves, although not yet Transcendent animals, far surpassed ordinary wild wolves in both size and ferocity.

Such a den of giant wolves entrenched near the highway, no wonder they could ambush Linjiang Army soldiers passing through.

As Chu Xuan observed the Wolf King, the Wolf King was also observing him.

This human was different from many humans it had seen.

He could use powerful fireballs, and he was followed by several zombies.

It gave the wolf a very dangerous feeling.

But after a moment’s thought, innate instinct overpowered rationality.

It and the wolf pack it led had fled from Shuanglong City, northwest of Donghu City, and had been hungry for a long time.

Killing those five Linjiang Army soldiers two days ago only barely filled their stomachs.

Now with living humans before them, there was no reason to avoid battle.
