Chapter 62 The Blue-Robed Deacon of the Black Vatican
Seeing that Tang Yue was so calm, the rest of the vanguard team wasted no more time and retreated into the distance under her leadership.
Ye Xinxia, held in Mo Fan's arms, trembled slightly. "Brother Mo Fan, will Brother Jiang Han be alright?"
"Don't worry, my dear girl. That guy is much stronger than your brother. Killing the Bone-Spiked Orchid shouldn't be a problem for him. You should have faith in him," Mo Fan reassured Ye Xinxia in his arms.
Ye Xinxia glanced reluctantly at Jiang Han in the distance before being carried away from the residential building by Mo Fan. Because of the Bone Spike Wolf, almost no one-eyed demon wolves dared to approach, so Mo Fan and the others who escaped from the residential building were relatively safe. Well, of course, the premise was that the Bone Spike Wolf did not rush towards them. If it had, well, Mo Fan and the others would probably have become takeout.
When the Bone-Spiked Wolf noticed Jiang Han charging towards it, it bared its sharp teeth and spewed out a foul-smelling breath that nearly made Jiang Han vomit.
"Damn, that's some serious attitude. I almost got sent away." Jiang Han turned his head and muttered speechlessly.
Despite the complaints, Jiang Han still had to kill the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf. All the demons they encountered along the way had served as practice for Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Zhou Min, so Jiang Han was quite excited to finally encounter a Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf that he could actually fight.
"Thunder, lightning, thunder, crashing down!!!"
Jiang Han raised his right hand, and arcs of purplish-blue electricity coursed across his body, while the head of the Bone Spike Wolf was shrouded in dark clouds.
As Jiang Han swung his right hand down, a purplish-blue lightning pillar fell from the dark clouds, slamming into the Bone-Spiked Wolf. The Bone-Spiked Wolf sensed the threat emanating from the lightning pillar as it struck, and tried to leap up to dodge its attack. However, it was immediately pinned back to its original position by a dozen or so ice crystal chains.
"Ice, ice lock, vast wilderness!!!"
A sky-blue star map appeared beneath Jiang Han's feet. It was Jiang Han who made the move. Just before the Bone-Spiked Wolf was about to escape, Jiang Han used Ice Lock to seal off the Bone-Spiked Wolf's escape route.
Boom! The purplish-blue lightning bolt slammed into the Bone-Spiked Wolf's abdomen. In an instant, blood and flesh splattered, its fur was charred black, and the Bone-Spiked Wolf's abdomen was pierced through, with blood gushing out from its belly.
"Awooo~~~" The intense pain caused the Bone-Spiked Wolf to howl.
Stimulated by pain, the Bone-Spiked Wolf's three eyes turned bloodthirsty and savage, and its mouth opened wide to spew out a bluish-black hurricane. This was a unique technique of the Warrior-level Bone-Spiked Wolf, which could restrict the movement of its opponents or prey, making it easier for them to hunt.
"Still trying to fight like a cornered beast? But do you think I'll give you that chance?" Jiang Han thought coldly.
As the Bone-Spiked Wolf swung its claws at him, Jiang Han raised his right arm, and a purple lightning dragon arm guard quietly appeared on it. The lightning dragon on the arm guard was so lifelike that it seemed ready to come to life at that moment, and it condensed into a purple lightning shield in front of Jiang Han, blocking the Bone-Spiked Wolf's claws.
Bang! The claws struck the lightning shield with a deafening roar, but thanks to the shield, Jiang Han was unharmed. Jiang Han's right hand produced the Snow Dragon Blade, and gripping the dark dagger, he swung it down with a mighty slash, unleashing a massive ice blade that struck the Bone Spike Wolf's head with devastating force.
*Thud!* The head of the Bone Spike Wolf was severed on the spot, and wolf blood splattered everywhere.
"Slaying a Warrior-level Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf has earned you 100 system points."
Upon hearing the mechanical notification from the system in his mind, Jiang Han chuckled and then chased after Mo Fan and the others in the direction they had retreated.
Not long after Jiang Han left, several enormous silver figures arrived at the battlefield. They lowered their heads, sniffed the area, and then left. These silver figures were all Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolves of the Warrior General level; if Jiang Han hadn't left, he would likely have been killed. After they left, countless One-Eyed Demon Wolves began to tear apart the corpse of the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf. Most demons evolve by devouring the corpses of their own kind, but compared to devouring their own kind, they prefer to devour human mages.
After dealing with the Bone-Spiked Wolf, Jiang Han led the vanguard team through the old town and arrived at a mountain forest pass not far from the safety barrier. Upon seeing the safety barrier in the distance, most of the vanguard team were quite excited.
"Look, that's the safety barrier. We're almost there."
"Yes, we're finally almost there, waaaaah!"
"······"
Although Zhang Xiaohou, Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting, Zhou Min, and the others were not as excited as the others, their wary expressions had relaxed considerably. After all, they all felt that it was impossible to encounter a demon attack since they were so close to the safety barrier.
"Monkey, look at Jiang Han, don't let your guard down." Mo Fan nudged Zhang Xiaohou, gesturing for him to look at Jiang Han.
Seeing Jiang Han's serious expression, Zhang Xiaohou nodded, "Okay, Brother Fan."
Jiang Han, carrying Ye Xinxia on his back, cautiously surveyed the mountains and forests on both sides. He remembered that He Yu died here in the original story, but he had forgotten the specifics of how she died. In any case, Jiang Han only remembered that this place was not safe.
"Brother Jiang Han, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Ye Xinxia looked at Jiang Han in confusion.
Jiang Han shook his head and said, "It's alright, I've got everything covered."
Jiang Han quickly realized what the danger here was: Bai Yang!
Bai Yang rode the Ghost Wolf out of the forest. The vanguard team, who had been on edge, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled with delight after seeing Bai Yang's appearance.
"It's Instructor Bai Yang! This is wonderful! I never expected to meet Instructor Bai Yang here."
"Instructor Bai Yang, are you here to pick us up?" A student walked over with a smile to greet Bai Yang.
Although Tang Yue was a member of the Inquisition, she did not know that Bai Yang was a member of the Black Vatican, and she thought that Bai Yang had come to take them to the safety barrier.
"Teacher Tang Yue, pull that guy back. Everyone else, stay away from Bai Yang!" Jiang Han shouted.
Upon hearing Jiang Han's loud shout, Tang Yue didn't hesitate to pull back the silly boy who was about to greet Bai Yang. She understood Jiang Han and knew that he must have his reasons for saying that.
"Hahaha, Jiang Han, I didn't expect you to be here too. This saves me the trouble of looking for you." Bai Yang laughed wildly, then turned to look into the darkness of the forest. "My lord, I've been exposed."
"Hmph, what a piece of trash. He can't even do this simple thing right, I have to do it myself." A masked man in blue emerged from the darkness, followed by four or five men in black robes.
"The Blue-Clad Butler!!" Tang Yue exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the masked man at the head of the group.
Jiang Han handed Ye Xinxia, who was on his back, to Mo Fan and said sternly, "Combat team and defense team, stay alert. Xue Ling, you protect them."
The little fox that had been perched on Jiang Han's shoulder jumped down, stretched out its furry little paws, glanced contemptuously at Mo Fan and the others, and then transformed into a giant white fox two or three meters tall, gripping the front of the vanguard squad and staring at the blue-robed deacon and black-robed priest in the distance.
The blue-robed steward glanced at Xue Ling and said in surprise, "I didn't expect to encounter a War General-level summoned beast in such a remote town. Not bad, not bad."
"What?! General level?! Are you kidding me? That fox has the strength of a general?" Bai Yang looked at the blue-robed steward with a face full of shock.
"What, are you questioning me?" The blue-robed steward coldly glanced at Bai Yang.
Bai Yang was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound. He was just a gray-robed believer, whose status was even lower than that of the black-robed priests who followed the blue-robed deacon. How could he dare to question the blue-robed deacon?
P.S.: I just recovered from a fever today, sorry for not updating much the past couple of days!!
