Chapter 36 Terrifying Talent
After Jiang Han took Ye Xinxia back to her aunt's place, he received a call from the city's demon-hunting team. Cai Tang's anxious shouts came from the other end of the line.
"Jiang Han, where are you? Hurry up and come to the Banyan Tree Street area in the old town to help us. We have encountered a one-eyed demon wolf in the advancement stage. If this one-eyed demon wolf completes its advancement, many people in the old town will suffer."
"Okay, I'll be right there," Jiang Han replied casually before hanging up the phone.
In an abandoned construction site on Banyan Tree Street in the old town, a one-eyed, crimson-red demonic wolf struggled frantically under the shadow of lightning, its bony spurs appearing and disappearing intermittently. On a high platform beside the one-eyed wolf, Cai Tang hung up the phone and immediately shouted to Xu Dahuang, "Captain, Jiang Han said he's coming right away!"
Xu Dahuang, who was being supported by Fei Shi, coughed and ordered, "Everyone, stall for time as much as possible until Jiang Han arrives. Fan Mo, continue to use the Thunder Seal to suppress the One-Eyed Demon Wolf and prevent it from completing its advancement."
"Yes." Mo Fan continued to release lightning seals to suppress the One-Eyed Demon Wolf's advancement.
"Awooo!!"
A loud wolf howl echoed throughout the abandoned construction site. The purple arcs of electricity wrapped around the one-eyed demon wolf's body were beginning to lose their grip on its advancement, and crimson bone spikes continued to emerge.
"This is bad, the aura of this one-eyed demon wolf is getting stronger and stronger, I can't suppress it anymore," Mo Fan said with difficulty.
Fei Shi looked at the one-eyed, crimson-red demonic wolf and cried out in horror, "Oh no! This one-eyed demonic wolf is about to advance to the level of a warrior-class Bone Spike Wolf!"
Boom! The one-eyed wolf slammed its right paw into the ground, the powerful impact sending Mo Fan and Xiao Ke flying.
"Are we going to die here?" Xiao Ke said, a little scared.
Mo Fan screamed inwardly, "Damn it, Jiang Han, hurry up and come here! If you don't come soon, I'm going to die here. I wonder if Xin Xia and Ning Xue will be sad for me after I die."
After losing the suppression of the Thunder Seal, the crimson one-eyed demon wolf raised its head and howled wildly. Its black fur was gradually covered by white, and its wolf body continued to grow larger. Bone spikes on its back burst out of its body, and several huge bone nails grew on its huge head. The original huge one eye split into two eyes, and a vertical eye on its forehead opened.
"It successfully advanced; we ultimately couldn't stop it." Xu Dahuang slumped to the ground in despair.
"Awooo!!!" The howl came from the Bone-Spiked Wolf's mouth, as if it was mocking the humans who had just stopped it from advancing, and also proclaiming its power.
Faced with the Bone Spike Wolf, a warrior-level creature, the novice mage was utterly powerless and could only await his slaughter.
"This...this is the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf?" Mo Fan murmured, looking at the Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf's enormous body.
Boom!Boom!Boom!
The Bone-Spiked Wolf strode toward the humans who had just tried to stop it from advancing. Its claws slammed into the ground, causing the earth to shake violently. The once dilapidated abandoned construction site was now filled with falling building materials that crashed to the ground with tremendous roars.
"Someone, please save us! Are we going to die here?" Xiao Ke said, her voice choked with sobs.
Xu Dahuang struggled to his feet and shouted, "All team members, prepare for battle!!!"
After speaking, Xu Dahuang's right hand unleashed another burst of crimson flames, fiercely blasting towards the approaching Bone-Spiked Wolf. The flames struck the Bone-Spiked Wolf's fur, creating a massive explosion.
But after the explosion, the newly advanced Bone Spike Wolf was completely unharmed—no, not even a hair on its head.
"Ice Vines - Cover!"
"Thunder Seal!"
"Earth wave displacement!"
The ice and purple arcs of electricity attacked the Bone Spike Wolf, and the ground rippled like a surging river, slowing its advance.
However, unlike Jiang Han, Mo Fan and his group did not have the blessing of a spirit seed. Their basic magic attacks had little effect on the Bone Spike Wolf, only slowing it down a bit.
When Cai Tang and Fei Shi saw that their attacks had caused no damage to the Bone-Spiked Wolves, despair appeared on their faces. They knew they were going to die, and how many people in the old city of Bo City would perish at the hands of the Bone-Spiked Wolves after their deaths was beyond their control.
The Bone-Spiked Wolf approached Xu Dahuang, Fei Shi, and Li Wenjie, baring its sharp fangs as if mocking their incompetence. The wolf swung its sharp right claw at Xu Dahuang, but just as the claw was about to strike, countless crystalline ice locks burst from the ground, enveloping Xu Dahuang, Fei Shi, and Li Wenjie.
Boom! The loud noise traveled far and wide, and even ice shards flew in all directions.
"Thunderbolt - Top-Down Strike!"
A bluish-purple lightning bolt flew down from the sky, blasting the Bone Spike Wolf far away!
After the Bone-Spiked Wolf regained its footing, its white fur turned charred black, and even purplish-blue arcs of electricity coursed across its body.
"Alright, leave this to me," Jiang Han said calmly as he walked over from a distance.
When Mo Fan saw Jiang Han arrive in time, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought he was doomed.
"Jiang Han, are you really sure it's okay to give you this Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf?" Xu Dahuang asked, enduring the pain in his body.
Surprisingly, Cai Tang didn't mock him. Instead, she asked, "Jiang Han, are you sure you can handle it? If you can't deal with that Bone-Spiked Wolf, try to delay it as much as possible. I'll contact the Mage Association right now and ask them to come and help."
"Heh, do I need support from the Mage's Guild?" Jiang Han said disdainfully.
"You!!" Cai Tang was so angry at Jiang Han that she couldn't speak.
Jiang Han stretched and said casually, "It's been a while since I've done any exercise. Today I'll use this Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf to loosen up my muscles."
As Jiang Han spoke, he strode toward the Bone Spike Wolf that had been struck by lightning. With each step he took, ice formed on the ground.
Just as Jiang Han was about to reach the Bone-Spiked Wolf, a pale blue ice-type star map appeared beneath his feet. A crack appeared in the frozen ground, and countless ice crystal chains flew out, binding the Bone-Spiked Wolf tightly. No matter how the Bone-Spiked Wolf struggled, it was to no avail.
Xiao Ke exclaimed excitedly, "Jiang Han is amazing!"
"Holy crap, Jiang Han is terrifying!" Fatty exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, this guy is amazing, his talent is absolutely monstrous." Li Wenjie nodded in agreement.
Xu Dahuang looked at the bound Bone Spike Wolf and sighed, saying, "It seems that this kid held back when he fought me a while ago. That makes sense. If he wasn't that powerful, Boss Tong wouldn't have praised him so much."
"His ice-type talent is terrifying; even Ning Xue might not be able to match him in ice-type abilities," Cai Tang murmured softly.
Looking at the Bone Spike Wolf that Jiang Han had subdued in an instant, Mo Fan thought to himself, "Is this the power of mid-level magic? It's so strong. I wonder when I'll be able to break through and become a mid-level mage."
As the city's monster-hunting team praised Jiang Han's actions, the Bone-Spiked Wolf, which had been struggling violently, gradually stiffened, and even white ice shards appeared on its fur.
After a few breaths, the Bone Spike Wolf was completely frozen, enveloped in huge ice crystals.
Without the support of the Snow Dragon Blade, it would be impossible to freeze the Bone Spike Wolf directly into an ice sculpture, but it can freeze it in place.
