I have a city in another world
Chapter 6863 The Hunt and the Reasons
From the tree, Tang Zhen could clearly see the wolf pack; indeed, there was a significant problem.
It turns out that a strange creature was attached to the back of these wolves' heads, between their ears.
It looks like a scorpion, but it's different in many ways. Its claws can't grip the flesh tightly and seem to have penetrated deep into the wolf's head.
If you look closely, you can see a faint light flickering on the monster's abdomen from time to time.
It was as if some kind of signal frequency was driving the controlled wolves to launch a fearless attack.
Because of its hard shell, the monster will not die easily even if you accidentally touch it during a battle.
On the contrary, those hungry wolves, once they lost their fear, truly went mad to the extreme.
Attacks came from all directions, wave after wave, with lightning speed.
At this moment, the controlled wolf had only one thought: to kill all the targets in front of it.
At this moment, feelings of death and fear are completely blocked out and will no longer have any effect on the hungry wolf.
Their animalistic instincts and hunger were amplified countless times in an instant, making the already ferocious wolf pack even more terrifying.
The members of the slave-catching team had never seen such a horrific sight before, and they fought back desperately, suppressing their fear.
Their equipment was indeed excellent, giving them a significant advantage in battle and enabling them to inflict effective damage on monsters.
However, any fighter would feel fear and tremble when faced with such a tidal wave of monsters that are completely unafraid of death.
The slave-catching team quickly suffered casualties; several outer members were torn apart by hungry wolves, their body parts and internal organs scattered everywhere.
The piercing screams filled the other teammates with panic and fear, causing them to instinctively retreat and gather together.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, more hungry wolves approached at an extremely fast speed, completely encircling the slave-catching team.
At this moment, the leader of the slave-catching team could no longer remain calm and had a premonition of death.
Having spent years licking blood from the edge of a knife, killing countless people, the leader of the slave-catching team had long since become numb and ruthless.
He had always believed that when death came, he would be able to face it calmly.
But at that moment, he suddenly realized that he could calmly face the death of others, but when it came to his own death, he would never be able to remain indifferent.
Unspeakable fear, coupled with an attachment to life, wealth, and enjoyment, drove the slave-catching leader to madness and loss of control.
He roared loudly, urging his men to fight the wolves, his body trembling as he fought.
"There must be someone manipulating these wolves with magic. As long as the enemy is killed, these wolves will automatically retreat!"
The wizard apprentices in the group shouted out their guesses, hoping that the leader would send someone to find the hidden enemy.
No sooner had he finished speaking than a bullet, seemingly out of nowhere, pierced his head, leaving a hole.
A small hole appeared on the wizard apprentice's forehead, while a fist-sized hole appeared on the back of his head.
On the back of a wolf's corpse, the parasitic monster wriggled a few times and pulled out several bamboo-like tubes from the wolf's head at an extremely fast speed, with tendrils like nerves wriggling at the ends.
During the swinging motion, it traversed the grass at an extremely high speed, and after a bounce, landed on the corpse of the wizard apprentice.
The tentacle-like tube pierced the wound at the back of the head, and then the entire body burrowed inside.
Only its tail was visible, and suddenly it flashed with light.
The already dead wizard apprentice, whose body convulsed violently, suddenly stood up again in an exaggeratedly distorted posture.
It picked up its weapon, aimed it directly at its nearby accomplices, and fired without hesitation.
However, the contorted movements, coupled with the uncoordinated operation, caused the bullets to fly everywhere.
Several bullets even struck the wizard apprentice's legs, but the guy seemed completely oblivious. "Damn it, what's going on?"
The sudden turn of events took the slave-catching team members by surprise; they couldn't understand why their dead comrade would get up and shoot them.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when he saw that several other mutilated corpses of slave hunters were also gradually standing up.
Staring with pale, bloodshot eyes, wielding various weapons, he staggered as he launched an attack alongside the hungry wolf.
"It must be a wizard attack; he wants to kill us all!"
Someone else roared loudly, their voice filled with despair.
"Who exactly are you? Please stop immediately. Perhaps there's some misunderstanding between us!"
We are subjects of the Duchy of Hela, under Grand Duke Ariel. I possess identification documents personally signed by him!
At this moment, to avoid being torn to pieces by the hungry wolves, the leader of the slave-catching team did not hesitate to reveal his trump card.
The Grand Duke, who was the patron, had close ties with a wizarding academy, and two of his children were wizards. He was also said to have close relationships with a high-ranking wizard.
It was precisely because of his powerful backing that this Grand Duke acted with impunity, maintaining multiple slave-catching teams and engaging in other illegal activities.
Of course, these laws and regulations are meant to restrain other ordinary people and prevent fools from competing with them for business.
The other members of the slave-catching team were also filled with anticipation, hoping that their powerful backers would scare away the enemy.
However, just then, a mocking laugh came from the nearby forest.
"That foolish nobleman will probably be meeting you in hell soon, along with his family and that bunch of scum from the wizarding academy!"
The hatred and sarcasm in his words were completely undisguised, as if there was a deep-seated grudge.
A chill ran through everyone, a bad premonition rising within them.
The attack they suffered today is likely related to their powerful backers; are they implicated?
Realizing this possibility immediately gave rise to a feeling of collapse.
I thought that with such a powerful backer, I could rely on him for life and no one would dare to provoke him.
However, as it turns out, this was just wishful thinking. Whenever power and wealth are involved, struggles and unexpected events can occur at any time.
Whether the powerful figure behind them can weather this crisis remains to be seen.
But one thing is certain: these people who are being driven are definitely going to be in big trouble this time.
Realizing this possibility, the crowd grew increasingly desperate and fearful, and some began to beg for mercy, expressing their willingness to leave the slave-catching team and voluntarily withdraw from this struggle.
However, such pleas for mercy were completely ignored on the fiercely fighting battlefield.
The attackers, lurking in the shadows, seemed to have intended from the very beginning to annihilate the entire slave-hunting team.
The leader of the slave-catching team, his face contorted with rage, finally broke down completely as the ever-growing number of hungry wolves charged toward him.
"I surrender! Please spare my life! I am willing to offer my loyalty!"
“I have a ledger here that records all the actions I’ve been involved in, and it contains a lot of evidence of my crimes, all of which are related to that damned duke!”
"If you release me and guarantee my safety, I'm willing to personally testify and send that duke and his family to the gallows!"
To hell with loyalty and oaths! I'll do anything to save my life.
However, his judgment seems to be incorrect, or rather, he overestimated his own value.
"Destroying that extraordinary family never requires any trial, and killing you lackeys only requires a single thought."
The being in the forest coldly replied to the leader of the slave-hunting team, his words filled with indifference and deep sarcasm.
Upon hearing the response, the slave-catching team leader let out a desperate scream, knowing he had no chance of survival. (End of Chapter)
