"Wait! No, I'll try to distract them by turning myself into a bait. You all get my loot and go quickly while I distract them!" shouted Liam as he taunted the wolves by cussing and showing middle finger at them.
"Hey, you weak ass wolves! Don't see me? Then come..." the stronger and more unique the monster was, the more it could understand what a human was implying. So even if they weren't powerful at all, the Long-eared Blue Wolves could somehow see what the man's words and gestures meant.
And with Cylius fanning the flames, from the five of them, Liam was the first to get chased and also the one that had the most amount of wolves behind his back. So with the help of Liam, they were free from most of the wolves.
"Sigh... Let's get going quickly! But I suggest that we split up in order for us to have a better chance at surviving" suggested Jin.
Everyone agreed with his idea; they knew that if they had went in a group, they would have no fate other than dying. So splitting up was the best choice.
Giving all their loots to the fastest person would be a good choice too. However, they weren't close enough to do that. Who knows if the said person would just severe their ties and escape? The party function wouldn't work if they leave the party.
So in the end, the four of them split into two, Jin with Anna and Bik with Cylius. They each bid their farewells before going in two different directions.
"Hydrogen, 1 Long-eared Blue wolf and 30 Blue Wolves are coming this way! What should we do?" asked Bik, obviously nervous while running.
It would only be a matter of time before they get caught. He didn't even know if they will be able to last a minute before they get caught up and die.
This was his first time playing a virtual reality game and also the first time he is feeling death so clearly.In the real world, he was nothing more than an 18-year-old kid with first-tier cultivation. He was nothing special, just a normal person within a world that played by the law of jungle.
If not for him doing part-time jobs without end, he wouldn't have been able to obtain the VR headset and join the game.
So he was obviously nervous.
"Do you think they don't have the ability to catch up to us within this amount of time? If not for them playing with us, I'm sure we would've died the moment they started chasing us." answered Cylius coldly.
Bik was stupefied by the answer. Now that he thought about it now, such a thing really would've happened considering the power the Long-eared Blue wolf held. Even if it was the normal Blue wolf, they would've already been caught up.
They would stand no chance against them. The battle would end in an instant and they would be teleported to the town.
Were they really treating them like a toy that they could kill at any time?
Thinking this, anger gradually began to overtake him as he suddenly turned around and faced the group of blue wolves.
And just as if mocking him, the group of blue wolves also stopped as soon as he did. Seeing this, the anger in Bik's heart became bigger and bigger as his eyebrows twitched and he shouted in rage.
"Come you fuckers!"
Looking at him shouting in rage and so on, the blue wolves did nothing. Although the normal blue wolves wanted to catch him and then tear him into shreds, the single Long-eared Blue Wolf stopped them.
Then, it slightly looked at Cylius in a questioning gaze. After seeing him confirm, it immediately got into action.
With their leader running first, the entire group also got into action and leaped at Bik.
Bik who had just been fuming furiously a moment ago was now scared shitless, barely able to stand his ground. Helplessly, it could only look at Cylius. Having been looked at, Cylius at least got to show that he tried; so he cast a fireball to a random wolf before looking exhausted and plopping to the ground.
His fate would be no different than Bik since he had plopped dead to the ground.
He looking exhausted was reasonable as it hadn't been much time before they fought after all.
All of the party members including Cylius were exhausted at the moment.
So it was no wonder he could only cast one spell. If he had known Cylius' intelligence stat though, he surely wouldn't have been fooled by him.
"AHH" the grieving voice of Bik came out suddenly before also ending just as suddenly.
The last shriek of Bik excited the wolves even more as they feasted on his body delightfully. In mere moments, all of his body had been consumed except the bones. The scene was a gruesome scene; a bunch of large wolves with blood on their mouth and a skeleton still with traces of blood on it made one scared.
[You party member Bik had died]
The notification came, confirming the death of Bik.
As the wolves finished feasting, they looked at Cylius hungrily but didn't attack him, they only stayed in the same place while looking at their leader.
Strangely, their leader had ordered them to not do anything to this weak human.
Still, there were wolves that couldn't fulfill their hunger and disobeyed their leader to attack Cylius. The result? The said wolves ended up getting killed by their own leader.
Their difference in strength was obvious, it was an instant kill.
Now, he was going to stir up trouble and make it so that Liam can't enter their party again.
If he was right, Liam should be on the way to bait the group of wolves after him to Jin and Anna to escape on his own. So he will also be heading towards Jin and Anna.
