Reincarnation Paradise: The Crucible.

Chapter 491 Wolves
"This necromancer looks familiar."

In the canopy-like dark green tree canopy, the Chinese national football team's leader, transformed into a silverback gorilla, stretched out his hand to push aside the dense branches and leaves that blocked his vision in front of him, and looked with interest at the tall figure surrounded by countless skeletal beasts in the center of the death tide.

To the side, two other identical gorilla heads also poked out of the tree canopy at the same time. One of the silverback gorillas held a monocular telescope in front of his eyes to help him see more clearly, while the other one held a large bucket of buttered popcorn in his hand, gazing into the distance while chewing the large amount of food that was almost overflowing from his mouth.

"Uh, brother, this necromancer seems to be the owner of the furnace."

"Who?"

Grabbing the monocular telescope beside him, the Chinese national football team leader looked again. With the help of the special objective lens, the slightly blurry figure in the distance soon became clearly visible.

Although he still couldn't see the whole face from this angle, the highly recognizable Fang Tian Hua Ji in the opponent's hand still allowed him to lock onto the exact identity of this figure at the first moment.

"It's really him. I remember that this shop owner is from the Technique Department..."

Throwing the black cylinder in his hand to the third brother who had been impatient, the national football team leader touched the chin of the orangutan which felt very good in his hand, and a rare serious look appeared on his furry face.

Holy light naturally has a strong restraining effect on all undead beings, so they originally planned to follow behind this tide of undead to see if there was a chance to take advantage of the situation. However, when the mantis catching cicadas turned into the furnace owner, the original plan became a little inappropriate.

After experiencing the powerful effects of the Soul Fusion Armor, facing the forging master who is currently the only one who can forge Soul Fusion equipment, he now only wants to make friends with him, but has no intention of making an enemy of him.

While thinking, the second player of the national football team beside him obviously thought of this as well. While paying close attention to the movement of the undead tide in the distance, he hesitated and asked softly:
"Brother, what do you say? Should we continue to follow, or..."

Before he finished speaking, and before the national football team leader could reply, the third player beside him started shouting first.

"Hey, he's looking over here! He seems to have spotted us, big brother, shall we do something..."

"Fuck it! Get ready to retreat."

With a slap on the back of the third brother's head, without any hesitation, the national football team leader immediately prepared to leave. Under the current circumstances, if he did not want to have a direct conflict, the best way was to retreat immediately.

As for making friends? As long as they haven't left this derivative world, they will have plenty of opportunities to contact each other again.

On the opposite side, when the three Chinese national football players were preparing to retreat urgently, the undead tide in the distance quietly split into a branch of the undead tide consisting of dozens of giant skeleton beasts, and quickly roared towards their direction.

The tide of death was surging, the tremors of the earth were rapidly intensifying, and a giant skeleton bird swooped down from the sky and had already approached its target. Its broad bone wings wrapped in flames tore through the storm, and amidst the shrill screams, a pair of sharp bone claws were seen aiming at the dark green tree canopy below and grabbing straight down.

Before the sharp claws arrived, the raging hurricane had already torn the treetops below almost to pieces, with broken branches and leaves flying everywhere, and right inside the shattered treetops, three silverback gorillas holding golden sledgehammers were standing proudly in a row. Even though the hurricane was hitting them, there was still no panic on their three furry faces, only an arrogant laugh that seemed to be copied and pasted.

"Eat my Holy Light Hammer!" ×3
An impassioned shout echoed through the treetops. As soon as the words were spoken, three golden hammers suddenly flew out and smashed directly at the huge skeleton bird that was swooping down ferociously from above.

There was no time to dodge. As the holy light hammer came into contact with the sharp claws, the seemingly solid hammer immediately disintegrated and instantly transformed into a large amount of golden holy light that swept over the entire body of the skeleton bird.

With the first hammer, the raging flames suddenly went out; with the second hammer, the soul fire dimmed; until the third hammer, the surging holy light completely became continuous, turning the skeleton bird that was supposed to pounce on it into a completely solidified golden statue.

As the trump card of the three Chinese national football team brothers, the skill of Holy Light Hammer does not have much killing power, but it has an almost abnormal control effect, especially when facing undead creatures. The three consecutive hits of the Holy Hammer are enough to make most of the undead creatures truly experience what it means to freeze on the spot.

Inside the tree canopy, the arrogant smiles on the faces of the three Chinese national football players became even more ostentatious as they watched the golden bird suddenly solidify and fall heavily to the ground not far in front of them. They did not want a conflict, but running away quietly was also not in line with the style of their national football team.

It is impossible to be low-key, what is needed is a grand appearance, and that hammer just now was quite cool!
"Brothers, set up the formation!"

As he finished speaking, three silverback gorillas on the thick branch jumped up one after another, with the third one in a horse stance as the base. First, the second one jumped directly onto the shoulders, and then the eldest one followed closely behind. In the blink of an eye, they formed a funny-looking gorilla tower.

The tower took shape, and the three of them began to hammer their chests together in tacit understanding, and shouted loudly with the deep hammering sounds:

“The national football team is here!”

"We just... snap!"

The vigorous slogans were interrupted by a sudden crisp sound from the branches below that could not bear the weight. The next second, amid the shouts of the three brothers of the Chinese national football team, the entire gorilla tower suddenly fell straight down from a height of dozens of meters along with the broken branches.

Soon, the falling black shadow smashed the surface and created a large cloud of dust. When the dust settled, the three Chinese national football team members who looked quite embarrassed just climbed out of the pit, and what they saw in front of them was the dark red death tide that was about to roar towards them.

"Gan! Retreat!"

"Stop biting your ass, asshole!"

"Don't panic, bro. I'm here to save you!" "BOOM!!"

…………

On the other side, in the center of the dead tide.

When the three Chinese national football players were being chased by dozens of giant skeleton beasts, Xu Yue, who was in the center of the death tide, naturally noticed the pieces of holy light exploding from time to time in the distance.

Gazing far away, with the ultra-long field of vision brought by his passive skill, he could even clearly see the national football team leader, who had transformed into an ape, running for his life while his fat buttocks continued to bleed.

To be honest, this picture was indeed a bit weird. With his eyes twitching, Xu Yue decisively chose to look away and then completely forgot about these three idiots.

Even though the three Chinese national football team brothers seemed to be being hunted down in a miserable state, these dozens of hell creatures alone were far from threatening their lives, so it would be more accurate to say that they were actively retreating rather than fleeing.

Since the three Chinese national football players have clearly shown their unwillingness to escalate the conflict, there is no need for Xu Yue to continue wasting his energy on them. After all, compared to the other peepers hiding in this vast forest, these three idiots are far from being a threat.

He moved his eyes upwards, ignoring the holy lights that were still jumping up and down in the distance. Xu Yue's eyes, which had quietly turned deep purple at some point, looked up into the sky. At this moment, a cold moon was hanging high in the sky, and just below the cold moon, a barely perceptible green feather was faintly visible in the clouds.

After mastering the passive skill [Cicada Perception], his perception ability has been elevated to an exaggerated level, almost like a cicada sensing autumn wind before it blows. Even though they are far away, he can still clearly sense that the two pairs of eyes hidden in the cloud are staring down at his every move.

One was full of hatred but not threatening, while the other was interesting but made his hair stand on end.

The former need not be taken seriously, but the latter cannot be ignored. Among all the prying eyes he has sensed, the threat level of the other party can at least be ranked in the top three, even higher than that of the Lord in the cave.

Their eyes met, and after confirming that the other party had no plans to attack and kill him for the time being, Xu Yue lowered his eyes and looked around calmly. Although he did not say a word, he would always pause slightly every time his eyes met, and finally cast his gaze to the large gloomy forest in front of the right side of the Death Tide.

Up to now, the number of prying gazes that he had sensed that could pose a strong threat to him was almost in the double digits, but most of them were just watching him from afar, either cautiously or distantly. Only the one in front of him on the right was full of undisguised malice, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly shortening as time went by.

"end!"

With a light shout, the entire surging tide of death suddenly stopped. In just a blink of an eye, hundreds of skeletal beasts wrapped in dark red flames turned into white and stiff bone statues. Everywhere you look, you can see their claws and fangs exposed and bones standing like a forest. Only the clusters of hot soul fire in their eye sockets are still leaping.

When it comes to enforcing orders, apart from cold machines, no living creature can compare to the hellish undead whose souls are burning. Without flesh and blood, there is naturally no interference; since life is gone, there is naturally no fear. After all, their existence itself is fear!

The moonlight grew colder as the night went on, and on the other side of the death tide, first a vast wolf howl brazenly tore apart the surrounding silence, and then countless pairs of dark green wolf eyes lit up in the large shadows between the trees.

"Wolf?"

Xu Yue, who was at the center of the death tide, raised his eyebrows slightly. Under the cold gaze of thousands of hellish undead, he saw countless blue giant wolves rushing out from the shadow of the lush forest like a tide.

The dense footsteps rumbled like thunder and lasted for more than ten breaths. Then the surging green tide gradually subsided, and the number of wolves under the cold moonlight was exaggerated to a level far exceeding the scale of the death tide.

Looking around, all you can see are densely packed large gray wolves that are connected in a continuous mass. Not only do they block all the gaps at the front of the death tide, but even the darkness at the rear that is not very clear is filled with a large number of blurry and vague wolf shadows.

Obviously, including Xu Yue, the entire Death Tide was now almost completely surrounded by these huge wolves that had been lurking for a long time with their absolute numerical advantage.

Although there was no rush to start a fight, the chilling murderous intent lingering around Man Sen became increasingly colder in silence.

The night was cold and gloomy, the moonlight was like frost, the wolves below were pressing their claws, the undead were silent, and in this dead silence, Xu Yue, who was sitting on the back of the skeleton wolf, still had a calm expression. He slowly glanced around at the exaggerated wolf pack that seemed to have no end, and then glanced sideways to the right front at a vague figure standing on the top of the tree canopy.

The figure was standing on thin branches and carrying a jade wheel on his back. His specific face could not be seen in the hazy moonlight, but his pair of cold dark gold pupils were particularly clear. Although his body shape was no different from that of a human, the dangerous aura of wildness and bloodiness perfectly revealed his incompatibility with the human identity.

The Lord of the Mansion also possesses a similar aura, but the former is more domineering, while the latter... is more eerie.

"Another immortal?"

Xu Yue's question did not receive an answer. Looking at the huge tide of death below, which was mostly composed of hellhounds, Cang Yue's expression on the top of the tree canopy became increasingly cold. Even for the Barbarian Demon Clan who believed in the law of the jungle, this blatant act of desecrating the corpses of their own kind was still a bit too evil. It was a complete humiliation... and contempt.

"I originally just wanted to force you to tell me the whereabouts of the Qiongqi cub, but now..."

"Qiongqi is no longer important, human. From now on, every inch of your flesh and blood will be devoured by the wolves. Even the Ming King cannot save you. I say that!"
