Gao Wu: I became the minor villain that the protagonist was about to destroy.

"That's right!"

Lei Hao kicked out fiercely, sending Yuwen Lin flying.

"Well...."

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

The intense pain caused Yuwen Lin to curl up like a boiled shrimp, lying on the ground groaning in agony.

Just as Lei Hao was about to kick Yuwen Lin a few more times, Luo Wen stopped him.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished asking the question yet."

Just then, the pupils of the remaining three henchmen contracted, as if they had seen something terrifying.

With a thud, Luo Wen and Luo Hao fell to the ground. They immediately felt a chill run down their spines. They turned around abruptly and saw a giant wolf, at least 3 meters tall, walking out from beside a large tree.

A typical dire wolf is only about 1.5 meters tall, but this one is twice that size.

"Young Master Lei... there really is a big wolf..."

Rowan shouted, "On alert!!"

The panicked underlings quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly stood up. The man at the front was named Rock Mountain. True to his name, his awakened ability was Rock Iron, which is considered a relatively rare ability among defensive abilities.

[Rock Iron: When activated, the body structure transforms into rock iron, reducing agility by 50% but increasing constitution by 3 times and strength by 1 time.]

"I...I'll go stall them!"

With that, Yan Shan, wielding the Iron Turtle Shield, charged towards the Demon Wolf. The other two responded, "We're here to help you!"

As they spoke, one man held a long spear and the other a long sword, and they launched a feint attack on the two sides of the demon wolf.

At this moment, Luo Wen, his expression grave, said, "Young Master Lei, we need your help. The three of them alone can't handle this mutated demonic wolf!"

Lei Hao nodded: "I know. With me here, this wolf is doomed!"

Lei Hao: S-level, Vein-type

Inherent Characteristics: [Thunder Seal: Can be created, grants control over the power of thunder, increases the power of thunder-attribute combat skills by 30%. When attacking an opponent with lightning, a layer of Thunder Seal will be applied to the opponent, increasing the lightning damage they receive by 15% and reducing their movement speed by 5%. It can stack up to 5 times. When the Thunder Seal is stacked to 5, it will fuse into Thunder Mercury, which will apply a thunder-attribute attack to the enemy within 5 seconds. The lightning will remain within the Thunder Mercury and will automatically detonate after 5 seconds, with a power of 4 times that of the thunder-attribute attack received within 5 seconds.]

Acquired Trait: [Martial Artist (Green Blade): Increases the power of blade-type martial arts techniques by 1.8 times.]

Lei Hao stretched out his right hand, and a katana appeared in his hand. A purple crystal floated behind him, and lightning surged from his body. This was the artificial lightning crystal spiritual source that Lei Laohu had given to Lei Hao, which allowed him to use spiritual energy in the Awakening Realm.

Then, his body flashed with lightning, and he rushed towards the demon wolf.

At this moment, the Undying Wolf was extremely fast, and it was able to easily withstand the attacks of the three without suffering any damage.

The wolf dodged the gun-wielding boy's shot by sidestepping to the side. Then, it spun around and its thick tail whipped through the air like a raging whip.

Yanshan hurriedly stepped forward with his shield, and his wolf tail lashed out at the shield. The immense force dented the hard iron tortoise shield.

Under the immense force, Yan Shan's body was sent flying backward, crashing into a giant tree and breaking it in two, leaving him unconscious.

Just as the demonic wolf was about to launch its attack, a flash of silver light appeared. The immortal demonic wolf showed no intention of dodging, and a willow-leaf throwing knife was seen embedded in its eye.

Rowan was stunned by what he saw. If a normal creature's eyes were attacked, it would be in so much pain that it would go crazy. But this alien wolf that he thought of did not make any move, as if it did not feel any pain at all.

"Everyone be careful! This wolf is strange!!"

Lei Hao scoffed, "Strange? Watch me electrocute him into a dead wolf!"

"Lightning strike!"

Lei Hao flicked his right hand, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his hand, striking the demon wolf's body directly.

"Excellent, Lightning Seal application complete!"

Just as Lei Hao was about to launch a further attack, the demon wolf suddenly flashed and disappeared from its original spot, appearing in front of the boy holding the long sword. It quickly raised its wolf claws and swung them out.

The speed was so fast that the sword-wielding youth had no time to react and was sent flying by a single claw strike.

Upon seeing this, Lei Hao roared in fury, "Damn beast!!"

At this moment, Rowan warned, "Young Master Lei, be careful!"

As he spoke, he quickly moved towards Lei Hao, and with a flick of his right hand, three willow-leaf throwing knives appeared in his hand. He then swung them forward, and the willow-leaf throwing knives accurately pierced the Undying Demon Wolf's other eye and nose.

These are the most vulnerable spots of the demon wolf, but at this moment, these most vulnerable spots have no effect on the demon wolf whatsoever.

The wolf ignored him completely, inserting the hidden weapon into its body and heading straight for the boy with the gun beside it, as if it didn't need to use its eyes or scent to hunt its prey.

"Damn it! What kind of monster is this?! How did it lock onto its target without sight and smell?!"

Taking advantage of the terrain and under the cover of the trees, the gun-wielding youth moved swiftly and stealthily. Lei Hao seized the opportunity to unleash another lightning strike, which landed on the demon wolf. The lightning arc on the demon wolf visibly grew larger, which meant that his lightning seal had not failed.

"Lure it over!"

Upon hearing Lei Hao's shout, the gun-wielding youth hurriedly circled around towards him.

Despite its enormous size, the wolf encountered no resistance in the forest, moving through the sea of ​​trees as if it were in an empty place.

Standing on the tree, Lei Hao watched the demonic wolves that kept coming. He wrapped lightning around his katana, seized the opportunity, leaped up from the air, and plunged the katana into the back of a demonic wolf.

A large amount of lightning surged from the lightning crystal behind Lei Hao, and the surging lightning poured directly into the body of the demon wolf from the long sword.

In an instant, lightning burst forth from the demon wolf's body, with numerous arcs of lightning dancing across its surface. This strike caused the demon wolf's body to emit a pungent, burnt aroma.

Just then, the wolf's crimson eyes gradually disappeared, leaving only cloudy pupils, making it appear as if it had been dead for a long time.

"thump!"

The wolf, having lost its strength, collapsed stiffly to the ground.

Lei Hao jumped off it, looking solemnly at the strange demonic wolf that he found so eerie.

Luo Wen rushed forward: "Young Master Lei, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, how are the two of them?"

"I just checked. He's not dead, just seriously injured. He'll be fine after some rest."

"Okay, that's good. It's no longer suitable to linger in the secret realm today. We should leave."

Luo Wen said, "I think so too. I feel that this matter is not that simple. It seems like it was specifically targeted at you, Young Master Lei."
