The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

More shadow wolves emerged from the shadows. They did not rush to attack, but instead used the complex terrain of the stone forest and the cover of shadows to launch probing attacks. The sound of sharp claws cutting through the air and the low growls came from all directions, making people uneasy.

"They are draining us."

An Changqing swung his sword to repel another attack and said in a deep voice, his swordsmanship was still sharp, but the speed and stealth of the Shadow Wolf caused him a lot of trouble, and he could not kill it as quickly as he did the Rock Beetle.

We can't just unleash our ultimate attack on the weaker monsters; the Wolf King hasn't even shown up yet.

Su Yuehe's flute playing became rapid and sharp, the sound waves spreading like invisible ripples, interfering with the shadow wolves' stealth and causing them to reveal their blurry outlines from the darkness.

However, the Shadow Wolves are numerous and seem to have some resistance to sonic interference, so the effect is not as obvious as when dealing with Rock Beetles.

Chen Guan was under even greater pressure. He needed to defend against attacks from multiple directions simultaneously. Although the scythe's attack range was more flexible than the coffin, it was difficult to inflict effective damage on these extremely fast, swift shadows.

More often than not, he used his scythe to parry and drive away enemies; the real threat was neutralized by the impenetrable defense of the black iron coffin.

A shadow wolf suddenly pounced down from the shadow of the strange rock overhead, its sharp claws aimed straight for the top of Chen Guan's head. Before Chen Guan could swing his scythe, he suddenly turned to the side and pushed the coffin upwards.

clang!

The sharp claws gripped the coffin lid, producing a screeching sound and sparks flying. The shadow wolf was thrown back by the recoil, and Chen Guan also felt a weight on his shoulder.

Another shadow wolf seized the opportunity to pounce on his calf from the side and behind. Chen Guan couldn't turn around in time, so he could only raise his foot and kick hard, while sweeping his scythe backward at the same time.

boom!

Shadow Wolf was kicked in the waist and abdomen and flew backward, but Chen Guan's calf was also slashed open by the wolf's claws. His combat uniform was torn and blood seeped out. A cold aura immediately spread along the wound, making his calf numb.

His resilience kicked in, and the numbness quickly subsided, but the chilling sensation from the wound persisted, continuously draining his strength.

"This can't go on..."

Chen Guan felt a chill run down his spine. The wolf pack's tactics were clear: use their speed and numbers to constantly wear down, harass, and inflict wounds, and then launch a fatal attack when the wolves were exhausted and full of openings.

This deadlock must be broken.

His gaze swept over the constantly appearing black figures around him, and then looked at An Changqing and Su Yuehe.

Although An Changqing remained steady, his breathing seemed to be slightly rapid, and Su Yuehe's face also turned pale; the continuous sound wave interference was putting a great strain on her.

We need to find a way to lure them out, or... create an opportunity for a fatal blow.

A cold glint flashed in Chen Guan's eyes, and an adventurous plan quickly took shape in his mind.

Right now.

Chen Guan suddenly paused, as if his strength was failing, and his movements became slightly sluggish.

He groaned, staggered half a step, seemingly losing his balance, revealing a fleeting gap between the coffin behind him and his left rib.

This flaw was instantly magnified by the shadow wolf's keen hunting instincts and compound eye vision.

laugh!

Two dark figures, almost completely blending into the shadows, shot out from the shadows of the crevices in the rocks on the left and right sides at a speed far exceeding their previous speed, like sharks that had smelled blood.

The sharp claws aimed directly at Chen Guan's exposed ribs, the angle was tricky and the timing was ruthless, just when Chen Guan's old strength was exhausted, new strength had not yet been generated, and his center of gravity was shifting.

These are the two fastest and most cunning members of the Shadow Wolf pack; they had been waiting for this opportunity.

"Chen Guan, be careful!" Su Yuehe exclaimed, her flute playing suddenly rising in pitch in an attempt to disrupt him, but the effect was limited in the rush.

An Changqing noticed it too, but he tightened his wrist to suppress the fluctuations of spiritual energy on his body. However, his spiritual energy did not dissipate, but instead locked onto the two shadow wolves.

Just as the two shadow wolves' claws were about to tear Chen Guan's ribs apart, a cold glint flashed in Chen Guan's eyes.

The flaw he just made was something he deliberately created.

His center of gravity appeared unsteady, but he had already secretly adjusted it. His legs were as if rooted to the ground, and his core muscles tensed up like iron. The scythe that had been passively blocking moved at this moment.

Taking advantage of the momentum of his staggering recovery, Chen Guan loosened his grip on the scythe handle with his left hand, and with lightning speed, he reached out and, with his five fingers spread wide, precisely grabbed the forelimb wrist of the shadow wolf that was attacking from the left.

At the same time, his right arm muscles bulged, and using his waist as an axis, he slammed the end of the heavy scythe handle backward like a battering ram to meet the shadow wolf attacking from the right.

He gripped the wolf's wrist with his left hand; it was cold and slippery to the touch, but he managed to stop the shadow wolf's forward momentum with his bare hands. His 9 points of strength came into play at this moment.

At the same time, the scythe handle on the right side slammed solidly into the chest and abdomen of another shadow wolf, and the muffled sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard.

The shadow wolf on the right let out a short, miserable howl, flew backward, and crashed heavily into a black rock, collapsing to its knees.

The shadow wolf on the left had its forelimbs held by Chen Guan, and it became ferocious, opening its bloody mouth full of fangs and turning its head to bite Chen Guan's arm.

Chen Guan would not let it succeed. He suddenly exerted force with his left hand that was gripping the wolf's wrist and pulled it in front of him. At the same time, he used his shoulder and back muscles to push and twist the black iron coffin that he had been carrying on his back to the left.

The heavy edge of the coffin, like a giant iron ruler, slammed down on the side of the shadow wolf that had been dragged over, carrying unparalleled weight and inertia.

boom!

With a dull, heart-stopping thud, the shadow wolf didn't even have time to howl before its body was instantly deformed and twisted as if it had been hit by a runaway train. The sound of bones shattering filled the air as it was sent flying more than ten meters away, crashing into a pile of rocks and falling silent.

In the blink of an eye, the two most cunning and fastest shadow wolves were instantly counter-killed by Chen Guan with a near-life-or-death tactic of luring the enemy and astonishing strength, seizing the opportunity.

All of this happened so fast that the surrounding Shadow Wolves were momentarily stunned.

"Good!" An Changqing's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Chen Guan had indeed come up with a backup plan. He shouted and took advantage of the wolf pack's momentary chaos. His longsword shone brightly with golden light and swept across the battlefield in one move, forcing back several shadow wolves in front of him. He then turned his sword and went straight for a slightly larger alpha wolf not far away.

Chen Guan gasped for breath. That burst of energy just now, though seemingly simple, actually consumed a great deal of energy and required an extreme grasp of power and timing.

The wound on his left arm, slashed by wolf claws, was still bleeding, and the chilling sensation continued to seep in, but his eyes were even sharper. He absolutely could not show any fear in the face of these beasts.

Otherwise, they will swarm you and devour you completely.

After killing two elite shadow wolves, he broke the wolf pack's rhythm of attrition. He could sense that in those scarlet eyes in the shadows, besides cruelty, there was also a hint of fear.

Although they are not very intelligent, they are not completely brainless.
