"Is... is this the aura of a Wolf King..."
Zhao Longchuan couldn't help but swallow nervously.
He hadn't seen Er Pang's transformed state in a long time, and coupled with the darkness of the night, he didn't recognize it at first.
Er Pang had mastered this murderous atmosphere. Combined with its massive body and imposing form, it inexplicably instilled a trace of fear in people.
"This... this level of mutated wolf pack shouldn't have such a strong Wolf King..."
Kord was also somewhat bewildered.
"This giant wolf does look like a Wolf King, but the Wolf King's size is usually only slightly larger than other adult wolves in the pack."
"But this Wolf King's body is even more powerful than three or four mutated wolves piled together."
"Especially the crackling energy arcs on its body, which indicate that it might be evolving into a new form."
"A new form?" Zhao Longchuan asked, not understanding.
"Unlike the low-level mutated rats and mutated vampires we encountered before, those creatures, being low-level, rely on large size to scare away enemies."
"As for extremely powerful mutated creatures, they don't need to intimidate enemies, so their size or form doesn't matter."
"To save energy, they even maintain a small, low-energy form normally, and transform into a magnified state during combat. After a rampage, they might even have a special form."
"This is like a master intentionally suppressing their strength, displaying different levels of power against different enemies. The more forms they have, the greater the mutated creature's potential, and the more terrifying their ultimate combat power will be."
"These creatures are basically ultimate mutated ix-type creatures, but according to their potential and threat level... the natives have further classified them."
"D-class is the lowest, S-class is the highest. In the ultimate apocalypse, you definitely wouldn't want to encounter mutated creatures above B-class..."
"But... this is the Berserk stage, where the strength of mutated creatures is suppressed... however, I don't recommend a direct confrontation with it..."
Fear flickered in Kord's eyes.
Any survivor who had experienced the ultimate apocalypse would never forget the terror of being dominated by rampaging creatures.
"What do you mean by not a direct confrontation?"
"Are you saying that we tens of thousands of people should abandon the military base and find new shelter?"
"Let alone anything else, relocating tens of thousands of people is not easy. Moreover... once we leave these fortifications, on the plains, we are even less of a match for the mutated wolf pack!"
"A desperate fight might offer a sliver of hope. If we flee directly, we will only be at their mercy."
Zhao Longchuan clenched the weapon in his hand and said with a solemn expression.
"That's right. Our mission is to protect the people. Soldiers should die on the battlefield. Being stabbed in the back is a disgrace to a soldier!"
Zhao Xiyue also said with a cold face, walking forward with her spear.
The other team members on the city wall also had expressions of righteous indignation.
The vast majority of people in the military base were from Dragon Country. Zhao Longchuan, as a soldier, had always upheld the mission of protecting the people and instilled this idea in all his team members.
Although if the city fell, Dragon Country would suffer countless casualties, there was no turning back now.
Since death was inevitable either way, they might as well die with the spirit of Dragon Country soldiers!
"Are... are you all... crazy?"
"Only by surviving can we protect more people, isn't that right?"
"If we die here, won't everything turn to dust?!"
Kord persuaded them earnestly.
"Thank you for everything you've done for us. We won't blame you if you leave now!"
Zhao Longchuan said calmly.
"This..."
Kord was moved.
He had no intention of dying here, at least not before that plan was completed!
"I..."
He was hesitating on how to speak.
Suddenly, the Wolf King outside the city wall instantly reverted to its small form.
Only then did everyone notice that behind it, there was another group of people.
It was Zhang Chen, Xiaobai, and Zuo Nan, who had previously disguised himself as a cleaner.
"Brother, look quickly, it's Chen Ge!"
Zhao Xiyue grabbed Zhao Longchuan's arm and said excitedly.
Especially when she said "Chen Ge," she sounded more enthusiastic than when she called Zhao Longchuan her own brother.
"Mm-hmm, I see it, I see it, we don't have to die!"
"Take your hand away, you're almost breaking my arm!"
Zhao Longchuan said helplessly.
He actually hoped that Zhang Chen could become his brother-in-law. At least they were both from Dragon Country, and they were a perfect match.
However, what Zhang Chen thought was not something Zhao Longchuan could decide.
"Woo woo..."
Beside Er Pang, there was a wolf several sizes smaller, with its head bowed and tail tucked between its legs.
It was the true Wolf King of this mutated wolf pack.
However, after only two rounds with Er Pang, it directly exposed its belly and surrendered. Surrendering to a stronger wolf king was not a disgrace to a wolf.
"Zhang Chen? Is this Wolf King... his energy beast?"
"He tamed the Wolf King as his energy beast?!"
Kord was so astonished his jaw almost dropped.
With such a pet, no matter what his own strength was, at least he wouldn't have to worry about self-preservation in the apocalypse.
This guy was truly lucky!
"Yes, this is Zhang Chen's energy beast, named Er Pang. It has grown again, and I didn't recognize it at first!"
Zhao Longchuan said with a smile.
At this moment, Zhao Xiyue couldn't wait any longer and jumped down from the city wall.
She wanted to rush into Zhang Chen's arms, but she didn't dare.
Running to within three to four meters of Zhang Chen, she suddenly stopped with a blush on her face, then reached out to stroke Er Pang's thick fur.
Er Pang also looked like it was enjoying it, occasionally licking Zhao Xiyue's small hand.
"Chen Ge, why did you guys come here!"
Zhao Xiyue asked with a smile.
"We were just passing by, so I came to take a look. Did we disturb your upgrade!"
Zhang Chen looked at the calm wolf pack around him, then at the blood-stained city wall, and asked.
"Upgrade? What upgrade?"
Zhao Xiyue was confused.
"Hiss—!"
Suddenly, a huge shadow swept rapidly across the ground, letting out a piercing shriek in the air.
"It's a Night Demon! Damn it, this guy loves preying on mutated animals. The mutated wolf pack must have attracted it! Now we're in trouble!"
Kord frowned and said.
"Night Demon?"
Zhang Chen looked up.
He saw a large bird with a wingspan of over a hundred meters, a slender tail with a poisonous stinger dragging behind it, circling in the sky.
[Mutated vi-type creature, possesses excellent eyesight and combat power, can release wind elemental abilities and flame breath. The stinger on its tail contains a large amount of lethal venom!]
Is that all?
"Xiaobai, just kill it. Don't damage the wings. I have use for this corpse!"
Zhang Chen turned and said to Xiaobai.
"Okay, Daddy, leave it to me!"
Bang!
With a loud bang, Xiaobai instantly bounced up from the ground, breaking the sound barrier in an instant...
Seeing Xiaobai's face, Kord was even more confused: What? The World Destroyer... is your daughter?
