Accompanied by heavy footsteps, two more figures appeared on the endless expanse of the Great Prairie.

One was a Red Fox, but she seemed as if she had just emerged from flames. Her gently swaying four tails behind her left sparks of flames flying all around. Her limbs were adorned with rings made of flames, locked in a spot. 

These rings were quite beautiful and exquisite.

But more beautiful than them was the Red Fox herself.

With a slender and graceful figure, her beauty radiates from every movement. Even if one was not Human, one could still vaguely sense a kind of ‘allure’ from her.

Whereas the figure beside her was comparatively much more ferocious. It was a Humanoid figure with the head of a Bull, carrying a giant axe on his back. 

What was even more terrifying was the occasional fleeting dark purplish aura around him. Every flicker of the purple aura brought distortion in the air. It looked terrifying.

“So, they are Nine Tails and Bull Demon, the first and second in command of Misty Mountains?” Far away in the clouds, a Giant Silver Wolf’s eyes narrowed as a hint of dread flickered deep within them.  [Truly worthy of Misty Mountains. Just from their appearance alone, they exude such majesty.]

“Hmph…” Coldly sneering, the corner of Gorewolf King’s mouth curled up, his voice turning cold, “So what if they are from Misty Mountains! Since they’ve come to my Great Prairie, even if they’re a Dragon, they’ll have to prostrate before me.”

Saying this, Gorewolf King lifted his foot. When his feet landed, a violent wave of blood-colored energy surged through the air with a resounding boom.

At this precise moment, as if sensing something, Nine Tails and Bull Demon in the distance suddenly paused, looking at each other with a smile before focusing their gazes on the distant sky, where they could feel an uncanny wave of energy spreading.

“Gorewolf King…” murmuring to herself, Nine Tails’ lips curled slightly into a smile.

On the other side, Bull Demon tightly gripped the giant axe on his axe and stated with a chuckle, “Elder Sister, it looks like there’s going to be a big fight.”

“Indeed.” Nine Tails’ thoughts also agreed with his.

After all, they had prepared for this before coming here.

Similar to how many forces knew about Misty Mountains, Misty Mountains had undoubtedly researched them as well.

However, compared to their one-sided understanding of Misty Mountains, Misty Mountains knew a lot about their trump cards.

The reason for this was naturally because Misty Mountains had been calm for three years, while the entire continent was anything but calm.

Various Mutant Beast forces were fighting each other either overtly or covertly, endlessly.

All this while, the Earth Eye under Ling Er as well as Human forces were constantly gathering and sorting every piece of information.

As such, the intelligence about these Forbidden Zone and Treacherous Lands, more or less, was in their hands.

As for information about Misty Mountains?

Having remained in isolation for three years, apart from the famous Nine Great Beasts, everyone was mostly unaware of other powerful entities of Misty Mountains.

This lay Misty Mountains’ biggest confidence in attacking the entire continent. Others did not know how terrifying Misty Mountains was now.

However, before that, as the vanguards, Nine Tails and Bull Demon needed to test the waters.

After all, the reputation of the ‘Grassland Wolves’ wasn’t just talk.

*Yip…* As Nine Tails let out a long howl, flames-like Spiritual Energy enveloped her entire body. What was even more terrifying was that the ground and sky around her also caught fire with crimson flames.

Beside her…

“Let’s go!” With a roar, Bull Demon raised his giant axe, before his entire body shot like a cannonball with a thunderous blast, streaking across the vast grassland.

Looking from afar, it looked as if a straight black line was cutting through the grassland in half.

And at the other end of this black line were numerous Mutant Wolf Clans waiting in formation.

…

“Attack,” suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from an unknown location.

*Aooo~, Aooo~, Aooo~…*

*Aooo~, Aooo~, Aooo~…*

One after another, countless Wolf Howls drowned the entire grassland.

Their long howls were terrifying enough to make a child stop crying.

But now, such Wolf Howls number in the thousands.

At the same time…

*Thump, thump, thump…* Accompanied by the shaking of the entire grassland, a black wave appeared at the distant end of the grassland.

Upon closer inspection, it was actually a wave of countless Giant Black Wolves standing at three meters tall.

They were Black Storm Wolves, a terrifying Wolf Clan on the Great Prairie.

Possessing fearsome speed and powerful bodies, they were the best vanguard.

Following behind the Black Storm Wolves, with crimson eyes and blood-red fur, the Gorewolves surged forth one after another.

The Gorewolf Clan, although their numbers were less than 200,000, they were the most terrifying Wolf Clan on the Great Prairie.

Of course, besides the Black Storm Wolves and the Gorewolf Clan, there were many other Wolf Clans.

Among them, there were even several Giant Wolves towering like mountains, suspected to be Atavistic. 

And this was the Wolf Clan.

With the appearance of a tide of Wolves and endless Wolf Howls, it seemed as if one had entered the world of Wolves.

It was a terrifying and astonishing sight.

It made one’s limbs go numb.

In the face of such a mighty charge, the difference in ranks seemed to disappear.

Even an ordinary Tier-3 Transcendent could be submerged in this Wolf Tide in the blink of an eye.

However, this didn’t mean that quantity overwhelmed quality.

It was because among this mighty tide, there were also many Tier-3 Wolves.

Adding more to the dread, a three-meter-tall Crimson Wolf happened to be standing in the sky, his eyes filled with mockery.

The Giant Silver Wolf beside him also smirked slightly, looking at the two streaks rapidly rushing towards them.

However, the very next moment…

Their smiles froze.

Because, at this moment…

“Rise,” with a thunderous shout, the ground started shaking fiercely.

In that instant, as if enraged, the earth began to continuously sink.

*Boom, boom, boom…* With the ground fiercely quaking, the countless Wolves braked instantly

However, faced with this sudden appearance of the giant pit, most of the Wolves were caught off guard and fell into the pit one after another.

Immediately after…

*Aooo~, Aooo~…* Endless miserable wails echoed through the sky.

When everyone looked towards the source of the wails, they were shocked to find the giant pit painted red with blood, and countless dim lights flickering inside.

“Rat Tide!?” Suddenly, a cry of disbelief echoed as a sharp-eyed Wolf noticed that the dim lights were actually the eyes of countless Rats.

And what left him even more horrified was the sight of an endless black tide still pouring out from inside the giant pit.

*Squeak, Squeak, Squeak…* Hearing the sharp and scalp-tingling cries, countless Wolves were stunned, because at this moment, their endless Wolf Howls were unexpectedly suppressed by the hair-raising squeaks.
