C99 Finry's wolf
Zero looked at the corpse in front of him.
This was a young soldier. The green appearance under the helmet and the freckles on his face meant that this soldier was not older than twenty years old. However, this young life had already disappeared into the wilderness. His neck was almost bitten off, and the muscle fiber s that were torn apart stretched all the way to his chest. His head and body were at a weird 90 degree angle, and from the surface of his neck, dense white vertebrae were pierced out, exposing to the air.
There were also huge and deep marks on the soldier's body. He had been dragged out by something sharp, and from the wounds, it looked like a huge claw.
He touched the soldier's body with his hand and found that his shoulder blades and sternum had been broken and almost shattered. This was caused by the impact of the blunt force, and most of the muscle fiber in the body showed signs of pulling and cracking.
Thus, in Zero's mind, the corpse was bitten by a wolf on the neck, and the animation model that was swung back and forth until it crashed onto the ground took shape.
Wolves were animals that would eat for the convenience of their food. While biting open the neck of a prey with its sharp fangs, it would shake the neck muscles to shake the prey, knocking it to the ground and using the force of impact to tear apart the prey's body. Not only wolves, but other species such as crocodiles also use this method of attack.
Seeing this, Zero immediately thought of the Corpse wolf. However, whether it was the corpses, claw marks on the armoured vehicles, or the footprints on the ground, all of them showed that the ones who attacked the Phoenix City's army were not ordinary mutated organism s.
No matter if it was the shape or the strength of the Corpse wolf, it could not leave any traces of killing on the spot. At least there was an army with armoured vehicles. Zero had never heard of a Corpse wolf capable of killing all of them.
The shadow of death loomed over everyone in the caravan. Even the armed troops had met with an accident. They did not dare imagine that a few of them could survive the encounter with this unknown creature. When they thought of this question, they thought of zero. Probably only this brilliant Sniper Specialist would have the possibility of escaping.
The pale Campbell told the caravan to continue their journey. Only by entering the Phoenix City would the merchants feel safe.
In the course of the following journey, wreckage such as these chariots and soldiers appeared one after another on the caravan's path. The corpses that had their bellies ripped open caused Campbell's heart to jump. It was only when Phoenix City was in sight that the corpses finally disappeared.
Su Yun silently calculated and came to the conclusion that the nearest body was less than 200 kilometers away from Phoenix City.
After seeing the Phoenix City, Zero knew that the creatures that attacked the army were very smart.
In fact, the Phoenix City was a fortress city that was built using a dam. In the past, the towering dam had become an artificial barrier to defend against the attacks of all kinds of dangerous monsters in the wilderness. Other than the Cannon with high fire speed installed on multiple points of fire, the Phoenix City even had four surface-to-air missile defense systems. However, thinking of the fact that this city was close to the Death Ridge, it was reasonable for them to have this level of firepower.
At the city's entrance, Zero saw a gigantic Phoenix coat of arms. Campbell told him that this city was made from nothing, and that the city was built by the military officers and citizens of the Morin. The reason they built this fortress city was so that it could be reborn like a phoenix. This was also the origin of the Phoenix City's name.
After a series of complex security checks and the determination of the merchant caravan's background, the city was finally developed for Campbell and the rest.
Carrying the heavy locomotive, they passed the alloy gate which was constructed from the foundation of the dam, and saw a city on the surface that looked like the Raging Reef City. It was surrounded by a dam facing the highway and a mountain range at the back of the mountain range. However, unlike the Raging Reef City which used to use the style of the old city buildings, the Phoenix City's were straight and clean streets, and a planned city formed by numerous buildings that looked the same.
Phoenix City's strict and precise city style reminded Zero of the army.
In fact, there were many tanks and soldiers shuttling through the city, but the citizens seemed to be accustomed to this.
Even in the city, Zero saw many obstacles. These checkpoints seemed to have just been set up not long ago. Whether it was the equipment or personnel, they were all clearly not in place. It gave Zero a feeling of hastily setting them up. He even saw a truck full of wounded soldiers passing by, which added a sense of gloom to the city.
Campbell also felt that the atmosphere in the city wasn't right. Even though the Phoenix City was a stronghold type city, they still used military means to manage it daily. But today, the Phoenix City was a little nervous, as if defending against an attack from something. The people of the city seemed to have been left behind in their houses. It was rare to see one or two, but they were all hurrying along.
After passing the third checkpoint, a rough voice sounded: "Isn't this Campbell? I haven't seen you for half a year, and I thought you were dead. "
A middle-aged officer walked out from the checkpoint's sentry post. His short hair made him look very energetic. But his eyes and movements did reveal exhaustion, the officer walked to the front of the SUV, and Campbell jumped down to nod his head and bow as he said: "Sir George, it's been a while. You're still as energetic as ever. "
"Bullshit, you're blind. Didn't you see that I was tired like a dog? Where did your bullshit come from?" The officer rudely replied, immediately getting slapped on the leg by Campbell's lackey.
Campbell laughed awkwardly: "Maybe I'm a little tired, and didn't realize it, so you don't mind."
He then asked: "Sir George, what happened in the city? To tell you the truth, we saw your army on the way here. But the living beings have become corpses, and that frightens me. "You know, I'm a businessman, and I don't have much guts …"
George looked at Campbell in disdain and said, "Don't worry, those damn Finry's wolf can't even touch a single hair on you in the city. Unless you find it hard to live and go out in the wilderness yourself, then I am sorry, Phoenix City's current army is not luxurious enough to send out a team of soldiers to protect you, Sir Campbell. "
Hearing the three words "Finry's wolf", the fat on Campbell's body strongly trembled, and the merchant shouted: "How is this possible? The Finry's wolf kind of creature doesn't live in the Frost Forest of the Northern Lands, why would they come to the vicinity of Phoenix City?"
"You're asking me, but who should I ask?" George rolled his eyes and ended his conversation with the merchant.
George made a gesture, telling the soldiers at the checkpoint to let the caravan pass. However, after hearing the news about the Finry's wolf, Campbell seemed to have lost all his spirit, as he sat on the SUV with his head down, crestfallen. There were many records of this type of demon wolf in the monster notes. Other than the Finry's wolf's enormous body, coupled with its strength and agility, it was also innately able to use the power of the ice element Su. Therefore, they were also known as demonic wolves, meaning that they were magical wolves.
In the general danger assessment of the continent, Finry's wolf were recognized as monsters with a level three risk. Level three was already equivalent to a butcher's assessment of danger. However, there was only one butcher out of hundreds of living corpse s, while the Finry's wolf s were moving in groups. Imagine, if there were dozens of butchers attacking together, then the hundred people army of Phoenix City would be annihilated without any suspense.
