Chapter 53 Intense Battle with Wolf Pack
Blue light carrying frost qi fiercely impacted the airflow in the sky. Frost Blossom, with a hint of coldness, instantly condensed the small green particles at the center of the vortex into a spinning mass.
Everyone’s gaze was completely captivated, their faces filled with expressions of surprise or disbelief.
Admittedly, many powerful bloodline possessors had dual attributes, and they could often unleash mixed-attribute attacks. However, this… did not include healers!
Healer skills were generally only accessible to those with gentle-attribute bloodlines. While it wasn’t impossible for fire-attribute bloodlines to learn healer skills, the resultant skills would be low in damage and ineffective in healing, making them practically useless.
But… Su Jiu’s skill felt somewhat different.
It exuded an extremely dangerous aura.
“Treat Su Jiu as ranged support. Those who know combat techniques, follow me. The rest, protect the healing students.”
Xiao Yu took another deep breath and activated her avatar. Her hair seemed to ignite, and her already heroic face gained an additional layer of horny skin, her aura instantly maximizing.
If they couldn’t break through the battle line, they would be completely surrounded by the Scarlet Flame Wolves’ breath attacks, and the situation would only worsen.
She glanced at the blood-red lights that flitted past the bushes. Without further thought, she drew her saber and charged forward, leaving a mark on the yellow soil. She swung her saber towards a spot in the grass without hesitation, chopping through it.
The saber edge gleamed, and tiny red flames splattered out.
It was like the strike of a bronze bell, imbued with immense power.
“Pfft!”
A Scarlet Flame Wolf was instantly bisected. The others reacted and joined the battle. For a time, these students were able to hold their own against the wolf pack.
However, the Scarlet Flame Wolves that broke through continued their frenzied attacks on the healers within. Xiao Yu and the others were somewhat powerless to stop this, and the weaker students inside could only rely on their resilience to resist.
Suddenly, a male student who hadn’t yet mastered the avatar skill was injured by a claw. A Scarlet Flame Wolf broke through the protective circle. The girls inside, except for Su Jiu, began to cry out in fear, “Class Leader, a wolf is inside!”
Parrying another lunging wolf with the flat of her saber, Xiao Yu turned to look in that direction and shouted to Lin Ling, who was frantically using Spring Bloom Technique nearby, “Ling, stop using healing skills! Use your avatar to help them hold the line for a moment!”
“Class Leader, take care of yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Ling nodded slightly, turned, and rushed into the circle, activating her avatar skill as she ran.
Due to her strength, she was considered a free agent and could operate outside the main circle. However, as she left, the pressure on the perimeter immediately increased.
“There are at least fifty of these wolves… we need to contract the combat circle.”
Without support, Xiao Yu panted, sweat beading on her face. Looking at the ever-increasing number of wolves surrounding them, her heart sank.
At this moment, “Crack! Crack!” The dark jade green clouds in the sky began to make strange cracking sounds, much like the noise made when preparing shaved ice in the summer.
This time, no one had the leisure to watch. They had all sustained injuries to varying degrees. Even at a noble school, they were still just students, and fighting a horde of monsters was too taxing.
Moreover, they knew in their hearts that a Wolf King, capable of injuring A Dun, was lurking nearby.
As if to confirm their fears, a colossal Scarlet Flame Wolf appeared before A Dun. It looked at him with surprise, as if wondering why he wasn’t dead. It was different from those small ones; its claws were infused with fire poison.
A Dun’s face was solemn. He raised his great shield, his body covered in scales resembling those of a pangolin. He knew their lives depended on whether he could withstand the pressure from the Wolf King.
The Wolf King paced slowly, its eyes glinting with danger. It then revealed a cunning smile, leaped over A Dun, and lunged towards Su Jiu and the others.
“Not good!” A Dun and the others’ faces changed drastically. If it managed to get inside, it would undoubtedly cause a massacre.
But by the time they tried to intercept it, it was already just over two meters away from the encirclement, making it too late.
Seeing the Wolf King approaching, Lin Ling tried to stop it. As she moved forward, she was swatted away by a claw and sent flying under a tree. The Wolf King then looked at the crowd mockingly, as if choosing its target.
Finally, its gaze fell upon the girl beside Su Jiu. It then let out a low growl, as if to intimidate her.
The girl next to Su Jiu’s face was filled with despair. She wanted to close her eyes and await the incoming pain.
At this moment, Su Jiu opened his eyes. His light blue pupils emitted a faint glow. He pointed towards the sky, and under the Wolf King’s mocking gaze, he pointed at it.
“Whoosh!”
The vortex in the sky, carrying Frost Blossom, struck it at extreme speed, like a dragon within the ice, letting out an enraged roar as it tore through the air, as if displeased with the Wolf King’s insolence.
Su Jiu’s expression was solemn. At this moment, she was like a princess in the frost, and the clouds in the sky were the punishment for the disrespectful.
That vortex was the wrath of the heavens!
The Wolf King did not have time to react. Its waist was struck with a powerful blow, forming an indentation. Frost Blossom instantly spread from the wound like a spiderweb, then slowly enveloped its limbs, seemingly controlling it.
Everyone watched this scene in disbelief. They couldn’t believe that someone could stop the Wolf King, and even more so, that the person who stopped it was just a Priestess!
This completely overturned their understanding! As everyone knew, healing bloodlines were mere healers at the Warrior Class, lacking any combat power.
But… everyone’s gaze turned to the Wolf King.
However, the reality was even more horrifying. A bone-chilling cold spread within its body. Although the damage was not fatal, the purifying power was like maggots gnawing at the Wolf King’s fire poison.
Its face showed human-like terror. It hurriedly shook its body and summoned an energy shield, trying to escape. However, it was struck heavily from behind.
Blood splattered instantly, but the next moment, it evaporated.
It was Xiao Yu, who had rushed over. She brought down a heavy strike, this one seemingly utilizing some bloodline skill. The flames on her saber as if drenched in oil, hissed and, like a tempered blade cutting through pork, easily broke through the energy shield and sliced open the Wolf King’s spine.
“Awooo!” After a few more howls, it drew its last breath.
“Thankfully, it was frozen; otherwise, my clumsy skill probably wouldn’t have hit.”
Clenching her saber, Xiao Yu panted. As she was about to help clear the remaining wolves, she looked up and saw what looked like meteors.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Over a dozen blue vortexes streaked across the sky, leaving trails behind them. They systematically bombarded the Scarlet Flame Wolves that were attempting to flee after the Wolf King’s death. Almost all the Scarlet Flame Wolves that were hit were instantly finished off by the reinforcements after they were made vulnerable.
At this moment, Xiao Yu turned to look at Su Jiu again. Seeing her casually wave her finger, her eyes were filled with surprise, but she quickly suppressed it.
Jiusu, who was that? Could it really be a student? With such a powerful bloodline, her strength definitely couldn’t be solely accumulated over time.
Regardless of who she was, the crisis had now been averted. They had to set off for the Qinghai city gate immediately.
“She also uses ice elements… but why isn’t she using a sword? Did I miss something?”
On the White Deer high on the mountain, it was equally confused. It was about to turn and search for a more suitable person when it paused slightly, its gaze drifting into the distance.
“Are they following? Looking for me? No, that direction is for them…”
