Chapter 317 - 323: Utterly Humiliated
The jackal wolfmen arrived at the cave.
Yegu returned from reconnaissance and reported, "The cave ahead is filled with traps. It seems these aliens have discovered us and have made advance preparations in the cave."
It turns out.
Luke and the others utilized the complex and narrow environment of the cave to make preparations.
Some members of the humans who received the "Hunter" legacy have the ability to set up various skill traps.
There is a group whose innate skills are setting traps, and these traps created by innate skills are far superior and harder to detect than Second Tier trap skills.
The cave space is just this size.
Once the jackal wolfmen walk into the net, there’s no way to avoid it.
As long as they step into the dense traps, triggered by all sorts of mechanisms, they are bound to be disturbed. Coupled with the narrow and tight cave space, the jackal wolfmen cannot deploy their formations effectively, and the Spirit Sword Bureau has arranged ambushes in five positions to cut them off from front and back, launching a siege.
By taking advantage of the complex terrain.
By relying on various traps.
By taking the first strike.
Certainly, they can deliver a heavy blow to the jackal wolfmen.
However.
The Spirit Sword Bureau obviously underestimated the strength of the jackal wolfmen.
Several high-level jackal wolfmen may not be considered very strong natives in the Spirit Realm.
But they are entirely different from the unintelligent lower beings. As native-born inhabitants, they understand the combat methods of the Spirit Realm better than humans, and are more adept at utilizing skills and items in actual combat.
Humans lack experience.
The old ways of the present world.
May not achieve the expected effect in the Spirit Realm.
Onu gave a very disdainful sneer, "Use Developing Dust, release the Ghost Wolves!"
Several glowing potion bottles were thrown into the cave, immediately releasing a large amount of white luminous dust. Once dispersed, they illuminated shadows, which were originally traps invisible to the naked eye.
Developing Dust can break invisibility.
Traps not exceeding the Third Tier.
Under the cover of Developing Dust, are clearly revealed.
A high-level jackal wolfman in a robe pulled a strangely dressed jackal wolfman Secret Art Master, seemingly a Spiritual Professional, from the troops. They began to chant complex and difficult spells, and soon, blue giant wolves were summoned out of thin air.
Level 10 Ghost Wolves!
Though their strength isn’t considered strong.
Merely Bronze Elite level!
But Ghost Wolves belong to the spirit body type of monsters!
They are immune to poison, binding, slowing, blindness, and exempt from most physical damage, and possess the ability to pass through walls. At this moment, twenty Ghost Wolves quickly rushed into the cave, attacking the traps revealed.
Bang!
A poison mist trap was triggered!
Bang!
A spike trap was triggered!
Bang!
A dizziness trap was triggered!
......
Over two hundred people were lying in ambush, intending to wait for the jackal wolfmen to walk into the minefield traps, only to find that the carefully laid out hundreds of traps were easily destroyed by these Ghost Wolves.
The people of the Spirit Sword Bureau felt something was not right!
However, even worse things happened next!
Over twenty manipulated Ghost Wolves, after wantonly destroying all the traps, immediately went into stealth mode, starting reconnaissance and search of the entire cave.
Finally.
The Ghost Wolves emerged from the cave walls where people were hiding.
They completed their reconnaissance mission and pinpointed the positions of the humans.
Thus, their remaining value is to catch them off guard and cause disturbance.
The Ghost Wolves attacked the rears of the magic professionals and spiritual professionals, causing chaos in the ranks.
Onu made the allocations.
Yeno and Yegu led one team.
The lean jackal wolfman with a hammer shield and the burly jackal wolfman with a double-bladed axe led another team.
Onu and another high-level jackal wolfman Secret Art Master led the rest of the troops.
"Kill!"
The timing was ripe!
Onu gave the order.
The high-level jackal wolfmen drank the prepared potions.
Other Jackal Wolfmen also began applying various BUFFs!
Three hundred Jackal Wolfmen, led by six leaders, swarmed into the cave.
The Jackal Wolfmen had locked onto the humans’ position. After rushing into the cave, they dispersed and simultaneously attacked different areas occupied by humans.
Completely different from expectations.
The Jackal Wolfmen didn’t follow the rules.
The ambush initially set was useless against them.
Instead, the scattered human forces gave the Jackal Wolfmen an opportunity.
Onu led the charge!
He swung his Battle Spear to knock away incoming arrows and magic.
The Warg opened its mouth and bit a human, tearing them in half.
Onu unleashed a Third Tier Skill, immediately shooting spear rays like raindrops toward the crowd, penetrating and repelling them before they could approach, instantly killing several who couldn’t even drink potions to heal.
Other high-level Jackal Wolfmen fought bravely too.
And they were well-prepared.
Even if it was a battle of potions or Skill Scrolls, humans couldn’t match these Jackal Wolfmen, not to mention in a direct confrontation, the power gap between the forces was too large.
Luke swung his burning Great Sword at a Jackal Wolfman.
But was blocked by a skinny Jackal Wolfman wielding a Hammer Shield.
Beside him, a Grade 9 team elite was slashed in half from head to toe by a burly Jackal Wolfman with a dazzling axe ray from his Double-Bladed Axe.
"Oh fuck!"
Luke cursed.
The skinny Jackal Wolfman’s shield flashed.
He released a massive force, pushing Luke back several steps.
A short hammer followed at an astonishing speed, smashing into his chest and shattering the armor.
Luke spat out blood, his Great Sword sparked with electricity as he attempted to counterattack, but was interrupted and stunned by a Shield Strike. The skinny Jackal Wolfman swung his Warhammer at his head, while the burly Jackal Wolfman’s Double-Bladed Axe sliced through another Spirit Sword Bureau Grade 9 elite’s waist.
This time, New York Spirit Sword Bureau was in big trouble!
High-level Jackal Wolfmen had more strength, skills, and experience than humans!
Even though Luke’s strength was considerable, at Xu Tianhua’s level, it was hard to win a fair duel with a high-level Jackal Wolfman, let alone in a dire situation?
Chris cast a Draining Spell to pull Luke back from the edge of danger, then retrieved a strong green Area Attack Scroll and hurled it at the two advancing high-level Jackal Wolfmen and their forces.
"No way!"
"They are too strong!"
"Our ambush and traps have been completely detected."
"Now everyone is scattered, continuing like this will be terrible!"
"Diana, you and Luke lead people to retreat, I’ll hold them off for a while!"
Diana cast several heals on Luke, looking worried, knowing what staying behind to delay meant, "Chris, you..."
Chris unleashed a Wind Blade to repel the skinny Jackal Wolfman, then activated his Innate Skill, releasing a barrier glowing blue light, blocking the burly Jackal Wolfman’s fierce attack for now, but he couldn’t hold for long.
Luke gritted his teeth, "Diana, the plan failed, quickly notify others, we’re retreating!"
No time to think.
The two and several teams swiftly retreated.
Chris and a dozen teammates started resisting fiercely.
Chris’s Magic Barrier had excellent Defense, and as long as his Spiritual Power hadn’t run out, the barrier wouldn’t be broken. Chris initially had over 100 points in Spiritual Power and temporarily boosted it with Equipment and potions to 300 points.
However, it could only stall for a moment.
Chris’s Spiritual Power quickly couldn’t keep up with the consumption.
The skinny Jackal Wolfman led the team to shatter the barrier, and the burly Jackal Wolfman charged in, swinging his massive Double-Bladed Axe to decapitate the strong Magic Professional, while the other dozen teammates were also mercilessly slaughtered.
Xu Tianhua led the team to set up a defense.
Luke’s group fled back in embarrassment, but then the skinny Jackal Wolfman, burly Jackal Wolfman, and twenty or thirty fast Jackal Wolfman Assassins chased closely.
Xu Tianhua waved: "Attack them!"
Qin Mu cast a Silence Curse, interrupting the Jackal Wolfmen’s charge.
Thirty Magic Professionals and dozens of bow crossbows attacked simultaneously.
The two high-level Jackal Wolfmen halted their forces, stopped the chase, pulling back a distance, roaring at humans, but with too many humans upfront, they wouldn’t attack rashly, waiting for other Jackal Wolfmen to arrive was crucial.
Luke’s group returned in embarrassment.
Only two hundred people went out initially to ambush Jackal Wolfmen, now only seventy to eighty came back alive!
Others were either already dead or still being attacked, unable to escape back.
This was truly a big embarrassment!
New York Spirit Sword Bureau felt very ashamed.
Luke’s face was dark, "Xu, the Jackal Wolfmen are indeed stronger and craftier than we imagined, it seems we can’t hold them off..."
Xu Tianhua sneered with contempt in his heart, and said coldly, "The base must not be lost, let’s delay time now, hold this exit, wait for Hang Yu and Zhao Ming to come!!"
