Chapter 623 Bloody Battle
In mere seconds, the Pathfinder was reduced to nothing but bones!
The death of one warrior went unnoticed amidst the chaotic battle.
The overwhelming tide of beasts surged forward like a vast ocean. The Pathfinders were like small boats amidst the waves, while the azure wolf was like a terrifying shark lurking in the depths, its indifferent gaze fixed on the Pathfinders, ready to strike at any moment.
"Kill!" A brown-haired Pathfinder roared, cleaving the Beast King before him in two, blood splattering everywhere.
In the gaps between the flying blood and severed remains of the Beast King, a gigantic azure claw suddenly appeared, striking the Pathfinder with a speed the eye couldn't follow!
Crack!
With a sickening sound of tearing metal, the T-Rex type armor chestplate, designed to withstand sniper fire, was pierced directly by the azure claw!
The Pathfinder stared at the claw protruding from his armor and chest, at the gushing blood from the wound, and for a moment, felt no pain. Da Feng Novel
The claw was too fast!
So fast that he didn't have time to react, so fast that his body hadn't even transmitted the pain to his brain!
A second later, a roar of pain erupted.
The brown-haired Pathfinder finally saw what had attacked him. It was a gigantic azure wolf, with the mangled corpse of a Pathfinder hanging from its jaws. It indifferently tilted its head back, swallowing the corpse, blood dripping from its fangs and teeth, making it look utterly terrifying!
He felt a fear originating from the depths of his soul, like a mouse encountering a cat, an uncontrollable trembling, even his grip on his blade weakened.
This had nothing to do with courage; it was a suppression from the genes and the soul, a primal reaction of the body.
"Lowly... scum." The azure wolf noticed the Pathfinder's reaction and spoke, using human language.
The voice carried no deliberate contempt, disdain, or mockery, but that was precisely what made it so infuriating.
It was the condescension of a superior being towards an inferior one.
Would a human mock an ant?
Would an eagle despise a caterpillar?
Obviously not!
Because they were not creatures of the same level. Emotions like humiliation, contempt, and mockery were reserved for enemies of equal standing.
In the eyes of the azure wolf, these Pathfinders weren't even worthy of its mockery!
Since its inception, the Pathfinder Corps had always been the elite force of human civilization, the apex predators at the top of the food chain. They could accept the existence of beings of a higher life form than themselves, but they couldn't accept being treated in such a manner.
This was a silent humiliation of the apex predator.
Excruciating pain mixed with the flames of fury, and the Pathfinder with the pierced chest let out a thunderous roar. Every muscle in his body tensed again, adrenaline surged, and gripping his steel blade, he swung the last blow of his life at the giant wolf with a desperate posture!
The steel blade tore through the air, even generating a sonic boom, landing unimpeded on the azure wolf's head.
Clang!
The steel blade struck, but only produced the sound of colliding metal.
A few strands of wolf fur, as sharp as steel needles, fell!
The Pathfinder's pupils constricted.
Since the appearance of the ancient civilization creatures, the only ones who had truly faced them head-on in battle were the federal troops who once defended the Cartier Fortress line. However, that army had been completely wiped out, and the Pathfinders had no way of knowing the true upper limit of these ancient creatures' strength!
A God Descent type Pathfinder, coupled with specialized equipment, could generate destructive force comparable to an artillery shell with each strike, easily slaying massive Beast Kings, cutting them to pieces.
The Pathfinders had also speculated whether they could have held the line if they had been the ones defending Cartier Fortress.
Many Pathfinders believed they could!
Even Lu Chi had great confidence in them. The Pathfinders believed that while these ancient creatures were powerful, they were not invincible.
According to the Pathfinders' previous calculations, a fully armed Pathfinder might not be a match for an ancient creature, but could definitely inflict some minor injuries; ten Pathfinders working together could take one down with them; and thirty Pathfinders attacking together could easily eliminate one!
But only now, when facing these terrifying creatures head-on, did the Pathfinder realize that his previous estimations were wrong.
A trickle of blood slid down the blade.
The Pathfinder paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.
The azure wolf's gaze became even colder.
The Pathfinder's full-force strike had not only cut through the creature's fur, but had also injured it, causing it to bleed!
Although the injury was minor, and would be healed in the blink of an eye by its powerful regenerative abilities, it had still been injured, its defenses broken by a creature of a much lower level!
"Ah!" The Pathfinder raised his steel blade again, aiming to stab the azure wolf in the eyes.
But the azure wolf did not give the Pathfinder a second chance to attack. It swung its massive paw, instantly sending the Pathfinder flying. In mid-air, the Pathfinder's body suddenly inflated like a balloon, then exploded in an instant, becoming a cloud of blood mist! Da Feng Novel Net
God Descent ability, Shockwave!
This giant wolf was a God Descent type evolver. After its second evolution, the destructive power of its God Descent ability had increased again. When it came into contact with an enemy's body, it could cause the opponent's blood, bones, and internal organs to expand violently and explode.
This was the first time it had used its God Descent ability since the resurgence of the ancient civilization.
It was finally starting to take these Pathfinder warriors seriously, no longer relying solely on physical strength and speed to fight them!
This was a form of fear, but also a form of respect.
But it was also a disaster.
Because it meant that this azure wolf was going all out, and in the coming battle, the Pathfinders would suffer extremely heavy casualties!
"Awoo!"
A long and clear wolf howl echoed across the battlefield. At the instant the howl sounded, all the Beast Kings trembled.
And the Pathfinders also noticed that something was wrong. Dozens of Pathfinders had gone missing in the tide of beasts!
The azure wolf roamed the battlefield like the Grim Reaper. Each swing of its massive paw tore apart the body of a Pathfinder. It showed no hesitation, crushing anything in its path, whether it was a Pathfinder or a Beast King. Behind it, a bloody road of corpses and bones appeared!
