Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

Everyone immediately became extremely tense, and then, in the moonlight shining through the trees, they could vaguely see many eyes that glowed green.

"They really are forest wolves, and there are so many of them!"

The Forest Wolf is a first-tier magical beast found in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, with its strength at most equivalent to a second or third-tier Fighter.

However, they have always fought in groups, and the various groups are interconnected.

Once they go to war with other races, they will constantly call for their comrades.

Once upon a time, a mercenary squad led by a nine-star warrior provoked a wolf king of the forest wolves.

As a result, the enemy summoned hundreds of forest wolves along the way, and by the time the squad was discovered, it had been completely wiped out.

The girl named Ling'er seemed a little nervous and accidentally made eye contact with Xiao Yan.

"What, you're not suggesting that I lured these forest wolves here, are you?"

Xiao Yan could understand being suspicious of a stranger who joined the group, but if someone kept labeling others without warning, it only showed that the person had a problem with their character.

"you……"

Ling'er wanted to argue, but Mu Lan stopped her.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I believe you didn't bring these forest wolves here. In fact, it's more accurate to say that we brought them here."

Mu Lan's words piqued Xiao Yan's interest. He raised an eyebrow and casually asked, "Oh? Is there any explanation?"

Mu Lan paused for a moment before revealing the truth: "Actually, our mercenary team was targeted by these forest wolves because we were capturing a cub of the Forest Wolf King."

My Bloodbath Mercenary Group accidentally obtained a beast-taming technique in the Monster Mountain Range, which was eventually mastered by the second leader of the group after several months of research.

Once the cubs of this Forest Wolf King reach adulthood, they become second-tier magical beasts and possess the ability to command forest wolves.

If we can control them using the methods of beast taming, my Bloodbath Mercenary Group will surely become much stronger in the future.

I just didn't expect that even though we were already so far away, these guys still caught up with us.

Mu Lan's tone sounded somewhat helpless, and the reason he told Xiao Yan everything was to gain the other party's trust.

"Brother Xiao Yan, we are likely to face a fierce battle. If the situation turns unfavorable, we hope you can take Ling'er and leave. We will stay behind to cover your retreat."

In Mu Lan's opinion, Xiao Yan is an eight-star Dou Zhe, and if anyone is most confident in breaking through, it can only be Xiao Yan.

"Brother Mulan, I'm not leaving! I want to fight alongside you!"

Ling'er seemed very resistant to Mu Lan's words.

"Nonsense! I already promised my third uncle before we left. If you die here, how am I supposed to explain it to him!"

This was the first time Mu Lan had yelled at Ling'er. He knew that if he didn't say it, she would never obediently leave, given her personality.

Ling'er's eyes welled up with tears after being scolded like that, and her lips twitched slightly, but she managed to hold back her tears.

"Don't worry, everyone. Although this matter was caused by you, I am also a human and I am not capable of empathizing with magical beasts. Besides, the situation may not be as bad as it seems."

At this moment, it was Xiao Yan who stepped forward to ease the tension.

Just then, the surrounding wolves had already narrowed their encirclement.

Their initial goal was to surround and annihilate these humans.

With a loud wolf howl, all the forest wolves launched an attack.

"Damn it, let's fight them!"

Several mercenaries assumed fighting stances, facing the swarming Lin Lang.

Kagang gathered his fighting spirit and slashed down heavily with his sword, killing one of the forest wolves. But soon two more forest wolves pounced on him, biting one of his thighs and one of his arms.

Just then, an arrow shot from behind, piercing the head of one of the forest wolves. Kagang also focused his attention on attacking the other forest wolf, finally managing to kill it.

"Thanks, Qingxin."

Kagan didn't turn around. The biting had left him with some wounds, but for a mercenary, these wounds were commonplace.

On the other hand, the Lion is an earth-type fighter. His earth-yellow layered rock armor gives him amazing defensive capabilities, allowing him to withstand the attacks of five or six forest wolves for a short period without being at a disadvantage.

However, the layered rock armor greatly reduced his speed, often leaving him only able to passively counterattack. Once his fighting spirit was exhausted, he would also be subjected to a fierce attack from the forest wolves.

More and more wolves were approaching from the surrounding area. Even though the outer perimeter was already covered with the corpses of more than a dozen wolves, they still rushed forward one after another, like moths to a flame.

After Mulan killed seven forest wolves in succession, he was also somewhat exhausted and was panting heavily on the spot.

As for Ling'er, she didn't even have the strength of a Dou Zhe (Battle Master), and the difficulty of dealing with a single forest wolf on her own meant she could only hide behind Xiao Yan.

"Please, please help everyone! I was wrong before, I shouldn't have said those things. I'll do anything you ask if you can help everyone!"

Seeing the mercenary group gradually losing ground, Ling'er was on the verge of collapse. She could only pin her hopes on Xiao Yan and beg him to help her.

"Young lady, you must remember one thing: you can't only speak politely when you're thinking of asking someone for a favor."

To be honest, if it weren't for you, given the attitude of these people, I wouldn't mind taking action directly.

However, because of your presence, a few words can make someone dislike you and thus stand by and do nothing.

If they die here today, you will bear most of the responsibility, understand?

Xiao Yan's words stunned Ling'er, and she realized that Xiao Yan was right.

Actually, I only vented my resentment on others because of the initial embarrassment, and thus continued to assume malice towards them.

It's perfectly normal for the other person not to like you.

Now he's shamelessly begging others for help; it's utterly ridiculous.

"I understand. I'm sorry, I won't ask you for help anymore. I'll help everyone myself!"

After saying that, she drew her sword, intending to rush to the front and fight alongside everyone.

However, before she could take two steps, Xiao Yan pulled her back: "With your skills, you'd better not cause any more trouble for everyone. You should be glad you met me. If it were someone with a bad temper, they would have already packed up and left."

Xiao Yan leaped a few steps quickly and arrived at the very center of the battlefield: "Everyone, use your Dou Qi to seal your ears."

Xiao Yan's words instantly reached everyone's ears. Although they didn't know what was going on, seeing the faint Dou Qi emanating from Xiao Yan, everyone still chose to obey.

After confirming that the mercenaries had plugged his ears, Xiao Yan unleashed his full fighting spirit and unleashed his fighting techniques.

[Advanced Mystic Rank - Roar of the Mad Lion]!

A deafening lion's roar resounded, instantly engulfing a distance of hundreds of meters. With a single strike, dozens of forest wolves had their internal organs shattered and died on the spot!

Xiao Yan was only deliberately suppressing his Dou Qi output; otherwise, not only would he be a Dou Zhe, but even a Dou Shi would have been killed by his own power.

The wolf pack that had put the entire mercenary squad in a fierce battle was wiped out by the boy in front of him in a single encounter.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Xiao Yan. This wasn't just an eight-star Dou Zhe; he was an eight-star Dou Shi!
