Bang!
A giant wolf crashed to the ground, leaving behind a hole the size of a finger on its forehead. A middle-aged man stood in front of the giant wolf as he calmly withdrew his hand. His name was Liu Ping, the captain of the team sent by the Origin Ability Association. As a level three world esper, he was the undisputed number one in the team.
When this wolf showed itself, everyone was too startled to move.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ping made his move and killed it in an instant. This was the might of a world esper. That wolf was at the strength of peak level two world realm, but in front of a level three world esper, it had no strength to resist. In just a single blow, it was easily eradicated.
This time, it was different from Taihu Territory.
The team was scattered all around last time with different ideas that they even fought among themselves.
This time around, although there were many espers, they were all from the same organization. Under his command, no one dared to mess up. Plus, with Liu Ping here, how could anyone dare to think about doing something else?
The advancement of the squad was very stable.
Everyone moved in order.
"Level two world espers and some level one world espers, group together in a small team of five to protect each other. Never give the enemy a chance. Next time, you all will be making a move. Also, Zheng Tai and Wu Ming, you two will form a small team with me and be more alert of the surroundings."
"Yes."
Everyone answered.
The appearance of that giant wolf made them more alert.
After all, this is the territory of the Federation. How would a giant wolf appear here? Plus, it was in the world realm? For its strength to not be suppressed, that was a terrifying discovery!
It's fine if that was only a single beast, but what if there are more?
If it's just a single beast with a unique talent, then that was nothing to worry about. However, if it is achieved via some method or secret...
Then this exploration would be a fun one.
Once the suppression of the beasts in the Federation's territory vanished, the powerful army of beasts would directly invade the Federation! Perhaps this is why the Nine Snakes came here.
Liu Ping suddenly had his heart skip a beat.
The secret of Huangliang Despairs... could it be this?
"Continue to move forward!"
Liu Ping's eyes flashed coldly.
"Yes!"
Everyone answered.
Su Hao and Zheng Tai both glanced at each other. They both saw each other's doubt in their eyes.
Another giant wolf made its appearance again.
Sure enough, they were all from Huangliang Despairs. It seemed that those few who escaped before also originated from here. Huangliang Despairs, this place, why would there be giant wolves? Liu Ping just had some doubts, but two of them had definitely seen the wolves come out with their own eyes.
This was definitely not something arranged by the Nine Snakes.
The Elegy of Undead was the work of the Nine Snakes, but these giant wolves...
Something was amiss.
Su Hao silently pondered. He had always thought that the giant wolf was the creature born from Huangliang City, but that didn't seem to be the case anymore since there are so many of them. Not really though, the giant wolf he and Li Xin saw was obviously different from the ones today. Plus, the aura emitted was essentially different.
Could the previous one be born from Huangliang City, but the ones today weren't?
Or perhaps neither of them were the creature born of Huangliang City?
Su Hao suppressed the doubts in his heart. Whether or not it's true or not, the answer will be known soon.
At this moment, there was a violent quake, causing everyone to be alarmed. Everyone quickly formed a defensive team. However, unexpectedly, there was no movement as the area quickly returned to normal.
"What happened?"
"Not sure."
"Strange..."
"Could it be the result of Nine Snakes taking action?"
Everyone made their guess.
"Don't worry about it."
Liu Ping calmed the team down and looked at Su Hao, "Wu Ming, do you have any idea about this?"
"Don't bother with it. In Taihu Territory, even when we felt it, we weren't able to deal with it. For example, the last disaster in Taihu Territory, we arrived in advance, but the result... Those who were approaching all died." Su Hao calmly continued, "When we meet with such a situation, don't pay attention to it."
"Alright."
Everyone was shocked.
Thinking of the last disaster in Taihu Territory, it was still a bit overwhelming. The scene at that time was even more shocking that this time in Huangliang City. The vast Taihu Territory collapsed directly! That was such a strong scene that it created a deep impression in their mind!
If this scene was to repeat here...
Obviously, everyone listened to Su Hao, who had experienced it once.
What's more, the current identity of Su Hao was the kind-hearted Wu Ming. This time, his role was completely different from the time when he was a strategist in Taihu Territory. At least, before tearing his mask off in front of the Origin Ability Association, he had to play such a role since it was the safest route.
Kind, enthusiastic?
Su Hao smiled indifferently; those suit me quite well.
"Let's go."
The exploration team set off again.
This team had a clear set of responsibilities. Liu Ping was acting as the commander, Su Hao could be considered a staff officer, and the rest were combatants.
As for Zheng Tai...
Oh, he was the team's mascot.
Model Analysis was silently dispersed, and there was no response as usual. This wasn't outside of his expectations. This was Huangliang Despairs, an existence that Su Hao still couldn't analyze. There was no way to sense with origin energy or rule force, a special feature of Huangliang Despairs.
And now, there was another giant wolf.
"Ao~!"
With a howl, there was movement approaching them. When Su Hao had a closer look, it was another giant wolf! With the strength of level one world realm, its strength wasn't bad.
"That team of five, go."
Liu Ping directed a team to step forward, and the giant wolf was quickly killed.
With so many world espers here, how could one be afraid of a level one world realm wolf? However, the appearance of this giant wolf had complicated the problem. Sure enough, there were not only one of these giant wolves. Just a few steps later, a second one appeared, which meant that there was a high probability that there might be a third and fourth one!
In other words, Huangliang Despairs turned out to be the nest of a wolf tribe?
"It shouldn't be, probably."
"Just two beasts only."
"They could be the guardian beasts left by the ancestors."
Everyone made a guess.
However, after travelling a certain distance again, everyone shut their mouth because there would always be some scattered wolves on the path, and all of them were giant wolves! There was no other beast, which meant that this Huangliang Despairs was actually a nest for the wolves!
"There are actually living creatures here?" Liu Ping looked at Su Hao with some doubts.
"Taihu Territory also had some." Su Hao whispered, "Wasn't Senior Li Lei the case too?"
Everyone then came to a realization.
Yes, last time when Li Lei disappeared in Taihu Territory, he had survived up to that day. Then, in Huangliang Despairs, could those that disappeared here in the past still be alive? As for these giant wolves, did they come from the beast domain? However, with so many wolves... What had actually happened in the past?
How could an entire tribe come here?
The Federation wasn't a fool!
They, as the Origin Ability Association, had been monitoring the beasts closely and had never found any beast tribe that dared to step into the Federation. Not to forget, their strength would be suppressed!
"Something is wrong!"
Su Hao suddenly raised his eyebrows.
"What happened?"
Everyone looked over his side.
"I am not sure how much you guys in the Origin Ability Association remember, but I remember some rumors in the past." Su Hao thought back to when he was a bookworm, he had literally read everything he could find, "It is said that there is a powerful Wolf King that fell to the Federation."
"That Wolf King... what strength does it have?"
"Where did it fall again?"
Su Hao asked himself and then rubbed his head, "Of course, this news was from long ago. The so-called Wolf King, it might just be a professional or domain esper. After all, it was just a rumor."
"Wolf King?"
Liu Ping's expression suddenly turned ugly.
"Could it be..."
Su Hao's eyes narrowed.
"Yes, you're right."
Liu Ping smiled bitterly, "That Wolf King was a world esper! And the place he fell was in Huangliang City. At that time, the Wolf King was such a danger that a talented esper summoned him to the Federation in exchange for his life. Several men from the Origin Ability Association joined the attack before managing to kill it!"
"That was a huge battle. The Wolf King had been suppressed to the professional realm and actually managed to kill a world esper. Can you imagine that?"
Su Hao was shocked.
A professional esper able to kill a world esper?
This was even more extreme than him! However, Wolf King was a mighty character. Even if he is suppressed to the professional realm, he might still have some killer moves to use.
"Only that way did we manage to kill him." Liu Ping's face became uglier as each second passed, "Later, no one mentioned this incident. However, these wolves?"
"Are you sure he's dead?" Su Hao asked.
"Of course." Liu Ping affirmed, "It's needless to say."
"What about his body?" Zheng Tai suddenly opened his mouth.
"Huh?" Liu Ping froze for a second.
"Body!" Zheng Tai repeated again.
"His body got buried because his flesh was too strong to be destroyed, and we could only resort to burying him underground." Liu Ping's face changed, "Could it be..."
"I know at least three methods to resurrect something from death." Zheng Tai smirked, "As for the Wolf King..."
The hidden story got analyzed.
The legend of the Wolf King in Huangliang Despairs emerged again!
"But he was the only one!" Liu Ping waved his hand, "So what if he's alive? The current Origin Ability Association couldn't be compared to the one in the past. Although the Origin Ability Association only has dozens of strong espers on duty, when a crisis arrives, the association calls up everyone, and the number surpasses one hundred."
Su Hao nodded.
This point was true. No matter what strength, the appeal of the Origin Ability Association was unmatched! Today's Origin Ability Association was strong, but...
"It's not that simple." Su Hao shook his head, "The ones we met were all world espers. Then, we can make a hypothesis that the Wolf King can also recover his strength here. In other words, the Wolf King we are about to meet won't be the same as the past and be suppressed to the professional esper level. The Wolf King could be in the world realm!"
"How strong is he?"
Su Hao looked at Liu Ping.
"Peak world realm."
Liu Ping replied, but then paused for a bit before continuing, "In the past, he was."
Yes, in the past, he was only a domain esper, and the current him had reached the level three world realm! What about Wolf King, who was already a peak world esper? If he really managed to survive, if he didn't die and it happened that this place didn't restrict the strength of beasts...
There would be a great show to watch.
According to Su Hao's analysis, such a probability was actually quite high!
