?Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Dragon Lord is Interested_1 Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Dragon Lord is Interested_1 Zhang Ji finished speaking and waited for a moment before the other side replied.
After listening, Zhang Ji sighed softly and ended the communication.
“How did it go, Captain Zhang? No luck?” Chen Dalong, seeing the conversation had ended, couldn’t help but ask.
“No use, the Mutated Wolf King is too fast, and it has an extremely keen intuition for danger. Bullets can hardly hit it, let alone missiles.”
“As long as the hits aren’t precise, given the Mutated Wolf King’s defensive power, the shockwave from these small missiles can hardly inflict significant damage. Unless we utilize medium or larger ones…”
At this point, Zhang Ji couldn’t help but shake his head, “If we really use missiles of that level, it’s not just the Mutated Wolf King that’ll be destroyed, the entire Fifth Brigade would be done for.”
Hearing what Zhang Ji said, Chen Dalong felt an especially complex mix of emotions. He didn’t know whether to be happy about the strength of the mutated creatures or to mourn the decline of human weaponry.
Just then, the voice of Lord Parrot came through his Bluetooth headset, “Go and find out which direction the Mutated Wolf King has fled.”
“It must have reached Third Order, I think the Dragon Lord would be interested in taking it as a messenger.”
Chen Dalong felt a jolt of electricity rise from his tailbone to his brain, sending a shiver through his body.
There was no way around it, such news was too exciting for him.
A Mutated Wolf King that even small missiles couldn’t kill, was about to be taken under the Dragon Lord’s command. In the future, when he was on a mission, it might very well be the one protecting him.
Chen Dalong forcefully suppressed the various thoughts in his mind.
His face showed worry as he asked, “Captain Zhang, which direction did the Mutated Wolf King escape? Should we make preparations to prevent it from coming back to attack?”
Zhang Ji pondered briefly before answering, “It fled to the south. Although the Mutated Wolf King isn’t dead, it must be injured and has escaped deep into the mountains. For the time being, the likelihood of it returning for revenge is not significant.”
“However, it’s possible that it might retaliate against the convoys passing by at a later time. We should still find a way to deal with it.”
As he said this, Zhang Ji also felt a headache coming on. If the situation wasn’t handled well, there would definitely be big trouble later on.
The voice of Lord Parrot came through the Bluetooth headset again, “Next, I will lead the other messengers in pursuit of the Mutated Wolf King. Until I return, your security company is to stay put.”
Chen Dalong gave a light cough to signal his understanding.
The two of them hastily finished their lunch and then Zhang Ji led the command vehicle and a group of logistics personnel towards the front area.
He was going there to take command in person.
As for this location, Adjutant Zhao Zhong who was left behind would be in charge.
Such a major event naturally sparked discussion among the major security companies.
Even Qin Yaowen, who had just finished transporting the second batch of wood and followed the convoy back, immediately started inquiring about the situation.
However, Chen Dalong wasn’t interested in discussing or speculating with everyone.
To find out, he’d just wait for Lord Parrot to return, and everything would be clear then.
So he started arranging for the transportation of the mutated poplar trees back to the Yang City Research Institute.
Although the highway area of Donglin Mountain Range had been cleared and was now relatively safe, he still planned to arrange for an escort, just to be on the safe side.
But the Mad Dragon Security Company was already short on people, so after discussing with Qin Yaowen, they ultimately decided to entrust the task to the Heiyao Security Company.
He only assigned Li Huosheng to go there, for easier liaison with Professor Xu Liang.
…
While Chen Dalong was busy with these arrangements, Ye Feng was already directing the Flying Squadron to head straight to the recent battlefield.
It wasn’t just the Flying Squadron; under his command, the ground troops were also advancing quickly.
However, compared to the Flying Squadron, the ground troops had to avoid the military and security company personnel, which was a bit troublesome.
Of course, these were minor issues. As long as they could find the Mutated Wolf King, there was no way it could escape.
For this purpose, he directly possessed the Mutated Sparrow, then had the Mutated Sparrow stand on the back of the Mutated Eagle, proceeding at the fastest speed.
What made him slightly regretful was that the loyalty of the Mutated Eagle was only 95%, preventing possession; otherwise, it wouldn’t be so much trouble.
In just a few minutes, the Mutated Eagle had already reached the high skies of the battlefield, then slowed down and began to search starting from the south side.
Besides the aerial search, there was also activity on the ground.
The fastest, the Big Yellow Dog, was only two minutes slower than the Mutated Eagle and soon arrived at the battlefield.
Then, following the scent of fresh blood, it rapidly tracked the scent.
But the Mutated Wolf Pack was indeed quick; it took nearly 2 kilometers of chasing for the Big Yellow Dog to find them by a pond deep in the Donglin Mountain Range.
A giant white wolf nearly 5 meters tall was standing by the lake, grooming its fur.
At the moment, its snow-white fur was slightly scorched, clearly a result of the aftermath of a small missile blast.
But that was only the fur; not many bullet holes could be seen on its body, and its breath was still strong.
For the Mutated Wolf King, this was probably no more than a light injury.
“True to being a Third Order Mutated Creature, if it wasn’t for the wolf pack, it probably wouldn’t even need to flee,” Ye Feng couldn’t help but remark.
The initial number of the wolf pack was unclear, but now, there were only 15 wolves left.
Among these 15 Mutated Wild Wolves, amazingly, 7 had reached the Second Stage; such a ratio was rather alarmingly high.
Fortunately, their injuries were very severe. S~ea??h the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Otherwise, one Third Order Mutated Wolf King leading 7 Second Stage Mutated Wild Wolves would have been a challenge for Ye Feng, and even if he could subdue them, his side would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
However, it was no surprise that Second Order Mutated Creatures couldn’t withstand armor-piercing rounds, let alone small missiles. Being hit by the shockwave of an explosion and not dying was already a stroke of great fortune.
As for those First Order Mutated Wild Wolves, their fate could be described as tragic, given that even a stray shrapnel from a missile could end their lives.
The most severely injured Mutated Wild Wolf had its abdomen torn open with its intestines visible – had it not been a mutated being, it would likely have died on the spot.
But now, it was simply clinging on; unless it could receive a large amount of Spiritual Energy for healing, death was just a matter of time.
After observing for a moment, Ye Feng concluded: subduing all of them wouldn’t be a problem.
Indeed, Ye Feng didn’t plan to subdue just one Mutated Wolf King; he intended to subdue the entire wolf pack to form sufficient combat power.
After all, those Second Stage Mutated Wild Wolves had broken through on their own and clearly belonged to the category with “exceptional talent.”
They were definitely worth cultivating.
While pondering these thoughts, Ye Feng controlled the Mutated Eagle to slowly land on a tree.
The Mutated Wolf King, which had been grooming its fur, immediately sensed danger and looked over, even issuing a wolf howl.
But the Mutated Eagle remained unmoved, and the two stood at an impasse.
The Mutated Wolf King instinctively felt uneasy and wanted to lead the wolf pack away.
However, seeing some of the severely injured Mutated Wild Wolves unable to move, it had no choice but to stay behind and continue the standoff with the Mutated Eagle.
When a threat is made evident and you’re forced to keep constant vigilance against it, it effectively weakens your sense of impending danger.
This was the case with the Mutated Wolf King; under normal circumstances, its acute danger perception would have made it difficult for an encirclement to be formed silently.
But when its attention was entirely on the Mutated Eagle, encircling it became much easier.
In the sky, the Mutated Eagle, Mutated Black Crow, Mutated Bats, Mutated Parrot, and two Mutated Sparrows took their positions first.
On the ground, the Mutated King Cobra, Mutated Big Yellow Dog, Mutated Hedgehog, Mutated Mouse, and 5 Mutated Buffalo also gradually arrived, completing the encirclement.
