Due to Lu Li's bravery, Patriarch Hong, Liu Yi, and the warriors at the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm, the wolves in the valley could not break through the line of defense.
The dead bodies of the wolves in the valley formed a natural line of defense, which slowed down the speed of the wolves and made it easier to defend.
Of course, Liu Yi's side suffered heavy casualties as well. Less than 30 of the 40 or 50 people were left.
Apart from Liu Yi and Lu Li who had treasures all over their bodies, everyone else was wounded. Even Patriarch Hong, who was experienced in battles, was injured.
Fortunately, the situation outside was completely stabilized. More than half of the wolves were killed. The Wolf King was wounded under the siege of Patriarch Cai and the warriors at the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm. It could die at any moment.
"There are several lines of defense in front of the valley. Powerful warriors of all the families are gathered there. How did the Wolf King get here?"
While attacking, Patriarch Cai looked towards the valley with confusion.
There were many lines of defense in the Frigid Cloud Mountain. Patriarch Cai's side was the outermost line of defense. They were only responsible for killing the Xuan Beasts of the lowest ranks. Otherwise, he, a warrior of the Spirit Sea Realm, would not be the only one here.
The first few lines of defense were all powerful warriors who were responsible for killing the powerful Xuan Beasts. They had been here for a long time, but this was the first time they encountered a Wolf King at the peak of the Second Rank.
Therefore, Patriarch Cai was worried. Could it be that the line of defense was broken through?
"Woo, woo ~" "Woo!"
Right at that moment, two loud howls came from the valley. The howls echoed in the valley for a long time.
When Elder Cai heard this howl, her body trembled and she immediately cried out in alarm, "Young Miss, run! Two more Wolf Kings are coming!"
Swish, swish, swish!
All the warriors of the Liu Family changed their expressions. One Wolf King had almost wiped them out. Now, there were two more?
Who could stop them?
If they didn't run, they would all die here.
"Something is wrong, something big!"
Liu Yi and Patriarch Hong looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with anger.
There were several lines of defense on the other side of the valley with many powerful warriors. Even if the lines of defense were broken through, there would at least be a warning.
However, from the appearance of the first Wolf King to the appearance of the two Wolf Kings, there was no news.
There were only two explanations. Either all the powerful warriors at the front line of defense were dead, or — someone deliberately let the three Wolf Kings come.
"Retreat!"
No matter what the situation was, Liu Yi and the others had no way out. They could only escape first, and try to escape as many as they could.
"Run …"
Lu Li didn't hesitate. He had killed more than 100 Iron Spur Wolves by now. His mission had been completed. If he didn't run now, he would be waiting for death.
"Swish!"
Patriarch Hong led the three warriors at the peak of the Xuan Wu Realm to protect Liu Yi and rushed out of the valley. Lu Li followed closely behind.
The protection around Liu Yi was definitely the strongest. Perhaps even Elder Cai would come to protect her. It was the safest to stay by her side.
The escorts of the Liu Family outside transformed into birds and beasts and ran towards all directions. Liu Yi and Lu Li had just gotten out of the valley when two huge Iron Spur Wolves with a pack of Iron Spur Wolves whooshed out from afar.
"Miss, you go first. I'll bring up the rear!"
Elder Cai roared angrily and sent the first wolf king flying. Then, he fearlessly charged towards the other two wolf kings.
He knew very well that if he didn't stall the two Wolf Kings, none of the warriors of the Liu Family would be able to escape.
"Elder Cai, take care!"
Liu Yi let out a sorrowful roar and led Old Hong and the rest towards the left side of the mountain range.
The mountain range was actually on the south side. There was no road on the left side, so it would be very difficult to walk.
However, if they went towards the south, they would die even faster. How could they outrun the Iron Spur Wolf Kings?
Sure enough!
The wolf pack ran in a straight line. The warriors of the Liu Family that were running towards the south were soon overwhelmed by the wolf pack. Miserable cries came one after another.
The night was hazy, so they couldn't see clearly. Liu Yi and the others didn't dare to look too long. They just ran into the mountains.
Liu Yi and the others had made the right choice. The mountain range was hard to walk on, but it was much safer.
In the eyes of the Iron Spur Wolves, all humans were the same. Naturally, they wouldn't go after them.
There was not enough light at night, and there were many thorns and poisonous thorns in the mountains. Apart from Liu Yi, the rest of the seven or eight people were suffering.
However, no one dared to stop. There were so many wolves and they were endless. Soon, the wolves would spread to an area with a radius of more than 30 miles. They were still bleeding. The wolves would follow the blood trail and kill them.
"Blood trail?"
Patriarch Hong remembered this. He quickly handed out healing pellets to stop the bleeding. He looked at Lu Li who was following behind and handed him two healing pellets as well.
Lu Li had just taken two healing pellets. The wounds on his body had already scabbed over.
However, there were some more wounds on his back. He only took one healing pellet after he took it.
After a while, he quietly looked at the animal tooth pendant hidden in his collar. It was giving out a faint white light again. His wounds were healing quickly. After running for a couple of miles, the wounds had completely scabbed over.
"Look for a cave nearby. We will hide in it. We cannot outrun the wolves at night."
Patriarch Hong said in a deep voice after they went on for another couple of miles. Liu Yi thought it made sense.
Wolves' vision was not affected at night, and their noses were very sensitive. If they didn't find a place to hide, the wolves might catch up with them soon.
The group immediately spread out and looked for a cave nearby. Not long after, a warrior's shout came from the southwest, "Over here!"
They ran towards the sound and found a cave. It was narrow and deep, and nobody knew where it led to.
"I will go and explore the way. You go and find some boulders to block the entrance."
Patriarch Hong was experienced. He went into the cave alone with his saber in his hand. The others looked for boulders nearby.
Lu Li found a boulder on the left side of the entrance. He tied the Heaven Kylin Sword to his back and ran towards the cave with the boulder in his hand.
"This boulder is nice."
The boulder Lu Li brought back was enough to block the cave. Liu Yi nodded slightly. They waited at the entrance for the result of Patriarch Hong's exploration.
"Woo, woo ~ ~"
Before Patriarch Hong came out, there came some howls of wolves from the distance. The howls were getting closer and closer. Clearly, they were coming towards them.
"Go in. Lu Li, block the entrance!"
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Liu Yi had to make up her mind and let everyone into the cave. Lu Li dragged the boulder and blocked the entrance of the cave. Then he waved his Heaven Kylin Sword and hacked at the entrance of the cave. A lot of gravel fell and blocked the entrance of the cave completely.
"Phew, phew …"
The group of people sat at the entrance and breathed heavily. Since the entrance was blocked, there was no light inside. It was so dark that it was frightening.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
At this moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the cave. Everyone's expression changed drastically as they rushed into the cave one after another. However, they saw Hong Lao flying back and shouting from afar, "There are profound beasts in the cave. Stone Rats, we are in big trouble this time …"
Squeak, squeak ~ ~
Many noises came from inside the cave. Since it was too dark inside, they could not see the monsters clearly. They could only hear strange noises and muffled sounds of running.
"Release your Xuan Energy!"
A warrior of the Liu Family shouted in a deep voice. Everyone mobilized their Xuan Energy and looked into the distance with the help of the dim light.
What they saw made their hearts heavier. The cave was full of rats, swarming towards them like a pack of wolves.
The rats were grey in color. Each of them was as big as a human head. The sharp fangs in their mouths reflected a cold glare. There was no end to them. Nobody could tell how many there were.
Stone Rats!
They were Xuan Beasts of the lowest rank. They only relied on their sharp fangs to attack. However, their defense was amazing. Their grey fur was slippery and hard to hit.
