Chapter 775: Chapter 747 Demonized Creatures

Li Chen quickly sensed it, the odd smell wasn’t really a smell at all but a strange energy.

This energy contained some bizarre force that even Li Chen couldn’t clearly define.

It was as if it could make a person become restless.

Li Chen turned his head and saw that the expressions on the faces of the Nether Army soldiers beside him had also become somewhat odd.

Only Ning Wangyang remained calm as ever.

"Be careful, there is a strange energy here that can affect the mind," Li Chen said.

As he spoke, Li Chen reached out and tapped each Nether Army Warrior, sending True Qi into their brains to protect them from the invasion of this scent.

The forest at night is very dangerous.

However, this danger was only relative to ordinary people. It’s just that this forest was a bit more dangerous.

Li Chen didn’t care about this and continued to move forward.

Catherine was still waiting for their rescue, they didn’t have much time to delay any longer.

"What’s wrong?"

Li Chen frowned when he saw Ning Wangyang suddenly stop in his tracks.

"Over there," Ning Wangyang pointed in a direction.

Li Chen looked in the direction Ning Wangyang pointed to.

There, near a large tree, a rabbit covered with grey fur was squatting motionless, seemingly watching them.

In the forest, such rabbits were very common.

But Li Chen immediately noticed something amiss.

Since when did rabbits grow fangs?

The rabbit that appeared before Li Chen and the others, although mostly maintaining the appearance of a normal rabbit, had two long fangs protruding from its upper jaw.

Bloodstains seemed to coat those long fangs.

"What is this?" Suddenly, Li Chen saw a snake appear on another side, however unlike ordinary snakes, this one had a pair of small bat wings on its back.

And under the ’snake’s’ belly were two sharp claws.

After thinking for a moment, Li Chen quickly determined that the animals’ mutations were likely due to the strange energy in the forest.

"Hiss—"

All of a sudden, both the rabbit with fangs and the mutated snake lunged at Li Chen and the others like lightning.

Their speed was almost unbelievably fast.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have been hit instantly.

But Li Chen was not ordinary, nor was Ning Wangyang.

Li Chen’s knife, Ning Wangyang’s sword, were simultaneously unsheathed.

And in the same moment, they returned to their respective scabbards.

The fanged rabbit and the mutated snake both dropped to the ground, their bodies severed.

"It seems, this place really is unusual." After carefully inspecting the bodies of the two animals, Li Chen didn’t find anything special—as if their mutations were just ordinary genetic anomalies.

But are genetic anomalies that common? And to encounter two genetically mutated creatures at once right in front of them?

Li Chen didn’t believe this was a coincidence.

"Everyone, be careful, the animals here have mutated," Li Chen spoke, "This place might be more dangerous than we imagined, stay alert to your surroundings."

"Yes!" The group of Nether Army soldiers, upon seeing the two slain mutated creatures, nodded in unison.

"Awooo—"

Just as everyone’s voices fell, a wolf’s howl sounded from not too far away.

Hearing this sound, both Li Chen and Ning Wangyang’s expressions became more solemn.

This forest seems much more complicated than they thought; even animals like rabbits could become extremely aggressive, so what about other animals?

He didn’t believe that the inherently ferocious animals would become docile under the influence of this aura.

Soon, a pair of red-glowing eyes appeared within everyone’s sight.

"As expected." Seeing the red-glowing eyes, Li Chen felt certain in his heart.

A wolf’s eyes can reflect green light, which at night, resembles ghostly flames.

However, at this moment, the wolf that appeared before them had eyes reflecting red light!

Moreover, Li Chen noticed that this wolf seemed to be much larger than an ordinary wolf, almost as big as the giant wolf leader he had decapitated outside Miao Village.

But judging from its aura, this red-eyed wolf seemed even stronger than that giant wolf leader.

The claws on the wolf’s legs were extremely sharp, and their length had even surpassed the red-eyed wolf’s toes. The metallic luster they gave off was somewhat horrifying to behold.

But soon, Li Chen and the others discovered that this red-eyed wolf was not acting alone.

More red lights began to appear behind this red-eyed wolf.

This wolf was evidently a sentinel-like presence within the wolf pack; the howl they had heard earlier was its call to its companions.

Seeing the emergence of these red lights, the Nether Army tightened their grip on their weapons.

A wolf pack made up of dozens of red-eyed wolves appeared before Li Chen and the others, confronting them.

Both sides were observing each other, seemingly estimating the strength of their opponents.

Although the red-eyed wolves were mutated, their animal instincts remained. Instinctively, they felt that the people before them were not to be trifled with.

Nevertheless, it seemed as if some inexplicable power was continuously urging them to attack quickly.

The pack of wolves fell into a conflict.

"Aroo!"

Just then, a huge roar suddenly came from behind the wolf pack.

In everyone’s field of vision, a giant wolf, clearly larger than the other red-eyed wolves, emerged.

Just based on size alone, if the giant wolf were to stand up, it was estimated to be over two meters tall.

Even while standing on all fours, the head of the giant wolf was almost level with a person’s height. It was the first time Li Chen had ever seen such a large wolf.

The giant wolf walked out from among the pack, its gaze locked onto Li Chen and the others. Then, suddenly, it let out a ferocious roar and tensed up in an instant.

It was about to attack!

However.

"Whoosh!"

Ning Wangyang hadn’t even seen clearly, only sensing a blur as if someone had charged towards the giant wolf.

The next moment, Ning Wangyang was shocked to find that Li Chen had returned to his original position, and he also heard the sound of a weapon being sheathed.

Red Moon was returned to its scabbard.

And before everyone’s eyes, the giant wolf, which had been tense and seemed ready to explode at any moment, now became rigid.

A massive wolf’s head slowly slid off the giant wolf’s neck, the cut surface as smooth as new.

This unlucky giant wolf had died before it could even show its prowess, at the starting line.
