356 Cold Hearted (1/2)
”Sir, where are we going now?” The Draconic Beastman was in high-spirits, both hands gripping onto Carnage as the runes danced all over his body, a bunch of mercenaries following him, that feeling was simply too invigorating, the Draconic Beast had never felt so great...
”Go have a chat with Syudos.” Lin Yun's face was dark as he said unhappily.
”Eh?”
”Eh what? Hurry up and shake them off, you think you are a Heaven Sword Saint that can go through thousands of Frost Wolves? Look at your surroundings, there are more and more Frost Wolves, there will be a few thousand by the time they surround us, that's enough to kill ten of you…”
”No way…” The originally high-spirited Draconic Beastman became clear-headed after Lin Yun poured cold water over him. He looked around and he almost pissed his pants. Countless Frost Wolves were rushing over, stepping over the bodies of their fallen pack members.
And even more Frost Wolves were looking over here.
Mournful wolf howls, biting cold winds, this made the Draconic Beastman dumbstruck, 'How did I provoke so many? I was only passing by, this wasn't my business, aren't your enemies the mercenaries?'
'Hold on, mercenaries…'
Xiuban finally reacted.
'Shit, those mercenaries are all behind me now!'
Now, that hundred-man group was like a tail tightly hanging behind the Draconic Beastman. If he went east, they would go east, if he went west, they would go west.
Even if Xiuban wasn't the brightest light, he knew that he was being used as a shield.
The problem is that this tail couldn't be left behind. Although the Draconic Beastman was very powerful, each step taken through that sea of Frost Wolves was incomparably hard. Unless he could sprout wings, he wouldn't be able to cut off that tail.
Thus, the Draconic Beastman could only look at Lin Yun, asking for help.
”Sir…”
”You are a shame…” Lin Yun scolded him before taking out a potion from his pocket and giving it to the Draconic Beastman, ”You only have three minutes, if you can't get out within three minutes, then you just have to wait to be buried by the Frost Wolf…”
”Yes, yes…” The Draconic Beastman didn't wait and quickly opened the lid before pouring the potion in his mouth.
Xiuban then felt Carnage lighten by quite a bit. The hammer that originally needed both hands to be swung could now be casually swung with one hand.
More importantly...
The Draconic Beastman clearly saw the runes rushing out from his body radiating with a golden radiance as they emitted shocking power and formed some sort of body armor wrapping around his whole body.
Xiuban stood there, stupefied, feeling that unimaginable power filling his body. He didn't know how to react at first. He looked at the Runic Armor around his body and the light Carnage, and after some time, he suddenly let out a roar before rushing into the Frost Wolves pack.
”I'm sorry everyone, the free ride stops here, we have something to do so we will go on ahead.” Lin Yun recast a Haste and instantly rushed into the pack, only leaving a blur behind.
Lin Yun and Xiuban running away caught the mercenary trailing them off guard. They were instantly surrounded by Frost Wolves. They were originally fighting smaller groups of wolves, several dozens to a hundred wolves, but after following behind Lin Yun and Xiuban they ended up being surrounded by over a thousand Wolves...
The mercenaries instantly struggled with their lives as they cursed.
”Scoundrel, why don't you let us follow you!”
”Yeah, we are in the same boat, your selfishness is a disgrace to Okland!”
”Hey, shut up, scolding is useless, and are you blind? That kid's fighting strength is not worth considering, he is barely keeping his life, so what's the use in talking to him? That Beastman is the only one able to withstand this Frost Wolves pack…”
Naturally, some of the mercenaries had keener eyes and noticed that Lin Yun had yet to make a move...
When reminded, the other mercenaries reacted.
