The golden full moon hung high in the sky, casting shadows among the drifting clouds.
For Gu Masters, the bright moonlight was excellent news.
Outside the village, a brutal battlefield lay sprawled.
Wolf corpses piled up from the pits, already reaching half the height of the village wall. This gave the charging Lightning Wolves a good platform to leap from.
Some ordinary Lightning Wolves could even jump over the wall and land inside the village, relying on their jumping and clawing.
However, these Lightning Wolves would often stumble from the height difference, only to be immediately targeted and killed by the waiting Gu Masters.
Fang Yuan was currently standing at the top of a tower, surrounded by several other Gu Masters, continuously firing Moon Blades and other attacks into the wolf horde.
Overlooking the battlefield, the towers were the main firing points. Gu Masters cooperated with each other, eliminating a large number of Grand Lightning Wolves.
"Kill, kill, kill! Wipe out these wolf bastards!"
"Nana, I will avenge you!!"
"Hold on, just hold on a little longer. The safety of the clan rests on our shoulders."
The surroundings were filled with noise; some people were crazy, some were vengeful, some were shouting slogans.
Fang Yuan stood coldly, firing Moon Blades from his hand while observing the battlefield.
Even though the moon was bright, visibility was still not as good as during the day. Three Raging Lightning Wolves stood still in the back, their figures faintly visible.
As long as they weren't damaged, any number of Lightning Wolves were just cannon fodder. Even the Grand Lightning Wolves were merely higher-level sacrifices.
Suddenly!
A Raging Lightning Wolf leisurely took a step forward, opened its massive maw, and spat out a ball of lightning.
Rank 3, Exploding Thunder Gu!
This lightning ball was not very large, only the size of a millstone. But it was entirely deep blue, condensed with a vast amount of electrical energy, and incredibly fast.
In the blink of an eye, it violently bombarded Fang Yuan's tower.
The battle had been deadlocked until now. Many Gu Masters were fighting numbly. When the lightning ball struck, they had no time to react.
Water Shield Gu, White Jade Gu!
Fang Yuan had just raised his defenses. In the next instant, his vision was filled with blazing white light.
Boom!
The deafening explosion nearly ruptured his eardrums.
An invisible force surged, sending him flying high.
Amidst the ravaging thunder, the Water Shield only lasted for two breaths before collapsing. The residual current struck Fang Yuan's body. Despite the defense of his White Jade Gu, he was still numbed by the electricity.
Plop.
He fell from a height of three or four meters. The White Jade Gu was not the Rainbow Garment Gu; it couldn't reduce the impact force, and Fang Yuan's back ached from the fall.
He quickly scrambled to his feet, blinking rapidly, tears streaming down his face.
After three breaths, his vision slowly recovered.
The original thick stone tower was now only half standing, countless charred fragments of corpses scattered on the ground. A large hole had been blasted in the outer wall, and Lightning Wolves poured through it like a tide into the village.
The Raging Lightning Wolves had finally joined the battle!
The power of a thousand-beast-king level being was truly extraordinary.
The several Gu Masters who had just been standing on the tower beside Fang Yuan were now completely obliterated, leaving only Fang Yuan alive.
In his aperture, the Water Shield Gu, looking like a jellyfish, was very listless.
If the Water Shield is broken multiple times in a row, the Water Shield Gu will not be able to withstand it and will dissipate.
The same was true for the White Jade Gu.
Gu worms are often both powerful and fragile.
Take this Exploding Thunder Gu, for example. The lightning ball it fires is powerful and fast, making it very hard to defend against. But it also has a drawback: it cannot fire continuously. It needs a few breaths to recharge before it can fire the second lightning ball.
Boom!
But just as Fang Yuan stood up from the ground, another lightning ball flew over.
"I didn't expect this Wolf King to be housing two Exploding Thunder Gu!" Fang Yuan's expression changed, and he quickly dodged.
He tried his best not to activate the Water Shield Gu again, only using the White Jade Gu for defense.
"Beast! Do not be arrogant!" At the critical moment, a figure appeared in midair, radiating golden light, and forcibly intercepted the lightning ball.
An Elder had made his move!
But one Elder was not enough. Soon, two more Elders stepped forward to fight side by side.
To hunt a single Raging Lightning Wolf, at least three well-coordinated teams of Gu Masters were required. If it was against Rank 3 Gu Masters, at least three were needed to hold it off.
The Raging Lightning Wolf took heavy steps, breaking away from the pack. Wherever it went, the wolves made way.
It began to trot, then moved faster and faster, lowering its head to charge at the village wall.
Seeing this, Rank 1 and Rank 2 Gu Masters fled in panic.
Only the three Elders remained in their original positions.
This area of the battlefield was tacitly cleared for them.
The three Elders engaged in fierce combat with this Raging Lightning Wolf.
Soon, the other two Raging Lightning Wolves also attacked the village, opening up battlefields in two other locations.
Nine Elders and three Raging Lightning Wolves formed three major battle groups. Wherever they went, thunder exploded and bamboo buildings collapsed. Most Gu Masters or Lightning Wolves caught in the battle groups met a bad end.
The Lightning Wolf horde was still surging in, but Fang Yuan no longer participated in the battle. Instead, he stayed in a corner of the battlefield, watching the three major battle groups from afar.
