On the second night, the wolf disaster still came with a bang.
No one was too afraid because it happened once a year.
Because this kind of thing would happen once every year, just like a sacrificial ceremony.
Under normal circumstances, as long as the wall did not collapse, there would not be too many casualties. At most, at the last moment, there would be many wolves gathering under the wall, digging at the foot of the wall, or biting and destroying the wall, and there would be casualties.
During that time, shooting arrows from the top of the walls would not be enough. It would not be able to stop the speed of destruction from the greedy grassland wolves.
Only the brave warriors would lead a group of hunters to engage in close combat and focus on killing the most wolves at the bottom of the walls. Only then would they be able to stop the wolf disaster.
Casualties were normal during times like this. All they had to do was wait for the sun to rise.
Every time the wolf disaster happened, it would happen at night.
When the Purple Moon rose, the wolves would gather and attack fiercely.
Then, they would attack fiercely for the whole night until the sun rose and the wolves would retreat like the tide.
It was one of the three biggest mysteries of the Raqir Grassland.
The invisible temple, the bloody wolf disaster, and the Goddess Tear Lake where the gods were slain.
"So, no one is investigating the reason why the wolf disaster subsides at dawn?" Tang Ling sidestepped and dodged the giant wolf claw.
The Grade A alloy dagger in his hand was stabbed diagonally and another wound appeared on the greedy wolf king's body.
The extremely dangerous exchange of blows made the Barbarto villagers, who were in charge of defending the walls, cry out in shock.
Was there a more exciting way to fend off the wolf disaster?
There was no delay, no long-range attacks, no digging trenches, and no fire oil. He did not even need to prepare a team of hunters.
It was just a young man who charged straight into the wolf pack. He only needed the archers to cover for him from time to time.
He wanted to kill the wolf king.
Yes, the young man was Tang Ling. He was the one who came up with the exciting method. When he heard from Valencia that all the wolves were led by a single wolf king, he had decided to do it.
"If you trust me, remember that I only need archers. Then remember, we only need archers, the best kind of archers! These archers only have one mission, and that's to cover me. They don't have to do anything else. "Tang Ling's order was unusually simple.
But no one doubted him, because he had shown his great power and was willing to stay for Barbarto Village to help fight against the wolves.
The people of Barbarto Village who were able to stay were already taking a gamble with their fate, so why not make the gamble a little bigger?
Moreover, this is the grassland people. If I believe in you, if I submit to you, why would I be afraid of trusting my fate?
However, no one thought that this method would have much of a chance of success. Everyone held onto the idea of a final, heroic sacrifice.
Their ancestors who went through the drastic changes in the Purple Moon era left the people of the six villages with nothing but their fearlessness towards death.
For the sake of survival, they were not afraid of death.
At the same time, for freedom and glory, they would not be afraid of death.
However, Tang Ling performed a miracle for all the Babatos!
As soon as the wolves gathered, he jumped down from the high wall and rushed towards the wolves.
He ran like the wind, faster than the fastest horse in the village.
Not a single greedy grassland wolf could stop him. The moment they crossed paths, they would die under his long saber.
As he ran, he killed, and his path was filled with blood.
In less than three minutes, Tang Ling was already standing beside the giant wolf king. His long saber was dripping with the blood of the greedy grassland wolves that had yet to dry up.
Didn't he say that he needed cover? All the archers at the top of the wall could not help but ask the same question when their blood was boiling.
As a matter of fact, Tang Ling did not need their cover along the way. He simply relied on his own strength to kill his way to the front of the Greedy Wolf King.
The real battle was about to begin! The wolf king was not only powerful, but it was also accompanied by eight other greedy grassland wolves that the grassland people called the secondary wolf kings.
The nine wolves always moved together, and whenever one of them got into a fight, the other eight would gang up on it.
However, was Tang Ling afraid? He was not. He could tell that the wolf king was just a Level 4 mutated beast and the eight secondary wolf kings were only Level 2 mutated beasts. He could fight them with his own strength.
Due to this reason, he had turned this battle into a personal performance.
Was there anything more precise and stunning than this? The grassland people who had never seen such a scene were astonished.
His dodging was always within a hair's breadth as if he had rehearsed it beforehand. His position was constantly changing, but he would always stand at the most precise and advantageous position.
As for his attacks? His attacks were like those of a venomous snake that lurked, struck, and landed with a single strike.
It was at this moment that the cover came into play, but all he had to do was to seize the opportunity and harass the secondary alpha wolf that was preparing to ambush him when he was being attacked from all directions by the five wolves at the same time.
The wolf kings were all terrifyingly huge. For example, the greedy wolf king was half the size of a mature bronze-skinned bull.
The secondary wolf king was not too shabby either as it was the size of a calf.
However, because of their size, not all of them could enter the first circle of battle when they swarmed him.
Nevertheless, wolves were cunning. They knew how to coordinate their tactics and endure. Their instinct allowed them to find the best timing and angle to attack.
However, their instinct was no match for Tang Ling's Precise Instinct.
Swish! The longsword swung down again and the first wolf king was decapitated by Tang Ling.
Then, he leaped forward and knocked away the other secondary wolf king that pounced at him. At the same time, he grabbed the secondary wolf king and rolled over, using its back to block the bite of its own kind.
At the same time, he held the dagger in front of his arm and extended his arm to block the greedy wolf king's bite from the side. The moment the dagger collided with the wolf king's teeth, Tang Ling flicked the dagger up and perforated its tongue.
The greedy wolf king retreated with its mouth full of blood. Tang Ling had to thank Lionel for teaching him this killer move. It was now called Tang Ling's Phantom Stab.
He tossed the secondary wolf king that he grabbed away and smashed the other secondary wolf king away. Then, he stood up and swung his sword at the second secondary wolf king on his right.
Following his move was an earth-shattering cheer from the top of the fortress wall!
How powerful was he? Not only did he block the attacks of nine giant wolves, but he even killed a secondary wolf king.
Those who paid attention would notice that Tang Ling had been using his sword against the secondary wolf king.
Against the wolf king, he would use his dagger instead of killing it with a single strike. Instead, he would leave multiple wounds on it.
What kind of battle technique was that? The combination of long and short moves was so harmonious. The young man was able to multitask to the extreme!
The young man seemed to be born for battle. He was an artist in battle!
The results did not stop there as they continued to grow.
A minute later, a secondary wolf king jumped up and tried to bite Tang Ling, but Tang Ling slashed its abdomen open and killed it.
Three minutes later, a secondary wolf king tried to ambush Tang Ling, but Tang Ling turned around and broke its front leg with a kick before killing it from the waist.
Five minutes later, a secondary alpha wolf that tried to bite Tang Ling from the back was smashed to a boulder by his shoulder. It died on the spot.
Seven minutes later …
As more secondary wolf kings died, Tang Ling's killing sped up. Ten minutes later, the greedy wolf king was shocked to realize that there were only two secondary wolf kings left around it.
Its enemy, the terrifying human who was like the God of Slaughter, seemed to know no exhaustion.
Under the moonlight of the Purple Moon, the greedy wolf king was covered in the unique bloodstains of the grassland greedy wolves. It made him look like a demon king with its own glow.
At this moment, the Greedy Wolf King leaped out of the battle circle!
The two secondary wolf kings had to block the attacks for it, and it had to use its ultimate move as a king of wolves, Moon Howl.
There were a total of 12 wolf kings in the grassland. Six of them would be sent out every year to attack the six villages in the grassland.
However, throughout the years, not a single wolf king had used Moon Howl because once it was used, the other wolf kings would rush to the grassland as reinforcements.
After using Moon Howl, the wolf king would fall into a weakened state. The sound waves that humans could not hear would spread across the grassland, so it would require a lot of energy.
However, would Tang Ling allow the wolf king to do as it wished? He watched the wolf king's every move. He knew that as a Level 4 vicious beast, it had its own unique attack style, so he had been guarding against it. Even the villagers of the six grassland villages did not tell him what kind of move the wolf king had, so they really did not know.
Therefore, when the wolf king moved, Tang Ling followed it and leaped out of the battle. The two secondary wolf kings chased after him relentlessly.
However, it was useless. The wolf king could not shake Tang Ling off.
This was because its body was covered in wounds, and these wounds were bleeding non-stop, affecting its mobility.
No matter how it evolved or mutated, as long as it lost a lot of blood, even if it would not die immediately, it would definitely affect its mobility.
The wolf king dared not delay any longer. It sat down and raised its giant head at the Purple Moon.
A huge amount of energy started to gather at the wolf king's throat.
Tang Ling could no longer see the flow of energy or see the weakness of the wolf king, but he faintly felt that the wolf king was gathering energy.
Therefore, he stabbed his dagger at the wolf king's eyes from a tricky angle.
The wolf king did not dodge the attack. Instead, it turned around and faced Tang Ling with its giant head, as if it was ready to let Tang Ling stab its eyes.
If Tang Ling chose to stab the wolf king's eyes, he would not be able to stop the wolf king from speaking.
He swung his longsword and blocked one of the secondary wolf king's attack.
It seemed like he could not stop the wolf king anymore.
However, another shocking scene happened. Tang Ling suddenly let go of the dagger and the longsword at the same time.
The dagger and the longsword intertwined in the air without changing directions and were caught by Tang Ling at the same time.
The dagger fell into his hand and he flicked it with his thumb, plunging it into the secondary wolf king's throat that was about to bite Tang Ling's shoulder.
The longsword did not slow down at all. Tang Ling swung it along with the momentum and the longsword smoothly plunged into the wolf king's throat, stopping its howl from escaping.
Blood splashed everywhere as the wolf king's head flew up into the night sky before it fell heavily on the ground. Without the wolf king, the attack rhythm of the grassland greedy wolves was messed up. They were like headless flies that did not even know where to run.
There was only one secondary wolf king left, and its existence was barely enough to command some of the grassland greedy wolves.
Unfortunately, it had run into Tang Ling. With its comrades dead, could it survive? The answer was no!
It only took Tang Ling 19 seconds to kill a Level 2 vicious beast.
The night sky of the grassland was filled with a cold breeze. It fluttered Tang Ling's clothes that were stained with fluorescent wolf blood and his hair.
He stood alone in the middle of the wolf pack, but none of the wolves dared to attack him. All of them whimpered and ran away with their tails between their legs.
All nine of the alpha wolves were dead, and the pack of wolves had lost their leader. After running around for a while, they finally split into groups of three to five and disappeared into the grassland in front of Barbarto Village.
Tang Ling put away his longsword and grabbed the wolf king's giant head with his dagger. He could not miss out on the spoils of war. The fang was a forging material, and it could also be polished and turned into a flying dagger.
What about the crystals? Were there any crystals among the nine mutated beasts?
Tang Ling started to collect his spoils of war, but the Barbarto people who stood on top of the city wall would never forget the scene under the moonlight. The young man wielding the longsword single-handedly and covered in blood with a faint bloody glow stood upright in the wind. The pack of wolves submitted to him and the faint smile on his face that made him look like the God of Slaughter.
Was he the God of War? Even if the God of War was here and killed all the wolves with a single punch, he would not have been able to fight as beautifully as the young man. It was an unforgettable scene that might even benefit a lot from it.
"The longsword killed the secondary wolf king and the dagger attacked the alpha wolf. He did it on purpose. He purposely confused the alpha wolf and in the end, the alpha wolf didn't even think about guarding against his longsword.
"But who would have thought of such a move to swap weapons in an instant?" Valencia quietly retreated down the city wall and sprinted in the night breeze.
She was a talented girl, and after witnessing Tang Ling's battle, it seemed to have stimulated her battle talent. She could even understand Tang Ling's battle arrangement.
One thing worth noting was that Tang Ling was a natural warrior, so he had an instinctive battle technique.
Nevertheless, it did not matter. Tang Ling had already planted a seed in Valencia's heart, and with her talent, it would grow into a strong seedling or even a towering tree.
"Quick! Go get the cows and slaughter the lambs! Bring out the best horse milk wine! We're going to welcome our hero! "The Barbarto people chanted.
The villagers finally reacted to the situation and jumped down the city wall. Some of the bolder ones even opened the gate and brought their horses over to welcome their hero in the most passionate way possible.
It was then that Tang Ling put the last crystal into his leather pouch. He took a deep glance at Barbarto Village before he headed south without looking back. He did not seem to be moving fast, but his figure soon vanished into the night.
Why did the hero leave? The villagers who witnessed the scene felt regretful and sad.
"After tonight, I'm afraid that no one in Barbarto Village will ever forget him," one of the villagers said. A villager suddenly said, "Don't look for him, and don't ask him to stay. This is a young hero. He is destined to walk his own path of glory. Tonight, he just accidentally showered his glory on Barbarto Village."
