Chapter 308: Fatal Sniper Shot, Xiao Wu's Forced Escape, Victory in the War
[Wolf Den · King: Eagle Eye, shoot down that bat for me...]
Yu Yuan's message was immediately seen by the Jackal team members.
Eagle Eye looked at the humanoid bat flying in his scope and began to hold his breath.
Hyena was reporting data beside him.
"Distance 1523 meters, wind speed level 3, humidity 65%, altitude 78 meters...."
Bang—
The moment Hyena finished reciting the data, Eagle Eye pulled the trigger.
The powerful recoil pushed Eagle Eye's body back slightly, and the air current kicked up dust from the ground.
The sniper bullet shot out from the muzzle, heading straight for the location Eagle Eye was aiming at.
Eagle Eye remained unmoved, quickly ejecting the spent casing and chambering another round.This time, he adjusted his position slightly and pulled the trigger again.
Then he continued ejecting and chambering, pulling the trigger for the third time.
The first bullet had already flown over fifteen hundred meters. Xiao Wu sensed the danger immediately. His high-speed flying body came to an abrupt stop, and his head jerked to the right.
A bullet grazed past his ear, flying right in front of his face.
Xiao Wu could even feel the residual warmth on the bullet.
But before he could react, a sense of crisis once again enveloped his heart.
However, his previous evasive movement was only halfway done. Trying to twist his body now would inevitably cause a brief moment of stiffness, which would be fatal.
Xiao Wu's reaction was still quite swift.
He directly folded the fleshy wings behind him, and his body plummeted downward.
The second bullet grazed past the top of his head. Although his movement was fast, the airflow carried by the bullet still tore a bloody gash across his scalp.
"Damn it...."
The curse in Xiao Wu's heart had just begun to rise when a sharp pain erupted in the area of his shoulder blade, accompanied by the faint sound of cracking bone.
In the next moment, his body lost balance and began to fall towards the ground.
Eagle Eye saw it clearly through his scope: a burst of blood mist erupted from the humanoid bat's shoulder blade, followed by the target plummeting towards the ground.
Eagle Eye immediately got up and moved positions with Hyena.
[Eagle Eye: Target's wing hit. Target down.]
The message was concise.
Yu Yuan had just used Shadow Stride to arrive at a patch of shadow.
He also saw that figure falling from the sky.
[Wolf Den · King: Well done!]
Hogg didn't care about the gunshots. His vision was focused solely on that damned bat that had suddenly fallen towards the ground.
He approached a utility pole, using his hands and feet to scramble up to the top in a couple of leaps. Then he lunged powerfully, his wolf claws already gathering force as he swung them towards the falling Xiao Wu.
"You... looking for death..."
Seeing the werewolf now right in front of him, Xiao Wu felt the threat of death, real and tangible.
He could no longer care about anything else and could only use his final trump card.
—[Bat Shadow]
Just as Hogg's wolf claws were about to slam into Xiao Wu.
In the next moment, Hogg's attack passed right through Xiao Wu's body, hitting nothing.
Looking closely, at the instant the wolf claws were about to strike him, Xiao Wu had transformed into dozens, even hundreds, of black-red bats that surrounded the werewolf Hogg.
These bats clearly possessed a spiritual effect.
Hogg, bitten by the bats, was suspended in mid-air, while the other bats seized the chance to attack him frantically.
That patch of sky was enveloped by the black-red bats.
Squeak—
The squeaking of bats was incessant. Hogg wanted to struggle and attack, but although these bats were small, with their numerical advantage, his limbs were firmly controlled by the bat swarm. In an instant, Hogg's body was riddled with bites from the bats.
His blood was completely devoured and absorbed by this swarm of bats.
Although Hogg was currently at his peak state, he had ultimately awakened too recently and simply didn't have the ability to counter this Blood Clan secret technique.
This process lasted less than ten seconds.
That swarm of bats transformed back into Xiao Wu, and only then did the werewolf Hogg fall towards the ground, landing with a dull thud.
Xiao Wu also tumbled to the ground.
At this moment, Xiao Wu had reverted to his initial appearance; the pair of fleshy wings on his back had vanished.
Xiao Wu now felt weak and powerless. He struggled to stand up but was clearly unable to muster the strength.
[Bat Shadow] consumed a massive amount of his origin blood. If he hadn't been forced into a corner just now, Xiao Wu wouldn't have used this move.
And the werewolf Hogg was in a similar state.
Hogg's figure had noticeably thinned out by a full circle. Xiao Wu's attack had taken a large amount of his blood.
The power that had surged within him earlier gradually faded away as his blood was massively depleted.
Hogg lay on the ground. After several seconds, he finally began to move.
Relying on the werewolf's formidable physical constitution, Hogg slowly climbed to his feet. The blood-red hue had faded from his body, revealing his most primal form.
He slowly walked towards Xiao Wu, revealing a grin that was both weak and ferocious.
"Stinking bat...."
Xiao Wu's gaze, however, fell on the fang encased in brass hanging on Hogg's chest. He naturally recognized this as the Wolf Clan's unique token, the [Wolf Clan Totem].
Only trial participants or Wolf Clan members deemed to have great potential by the Wolf Clan would possess this item.
The speculation that the big shot behind the Yu Yuan Shelter was a high-ranking member of the Wolf Clan was confirmed.
"Damn it! Even Bat Shadow didn't kill him."
"If I hadn't just happened to appear in the encirclement of that elite thug faction, relying on my Blood Slave Guard, taking him down wouldn't have been difficult at all!"
Even now, Xiao Wu still believed his encirclement by the Black Shield Police Department was an accident.
Because if the Yu Yuan Shelter could truly completely control an elite-level faction, his ranking definitely wouldn't be what it was now.
That couldn't be faked!
Now, watching the werewolf getting closer and closer, Xiao Wu understood that this invasion war ended here.
He stared fixedly at the approaching figure.
"Yu Yuan, you win this time. But your good days will soon be over! The Wolf Clan must die?"
Hogg listened to the words of the person in front of him, utterly confused.
What Yuan?
What was he talking about?
But Hogg paid no mind to any of this.
He opened his mouth wide, swung his sharp claws, and pounced towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu could already smell the foul breath exhaled by the werewolf and hesitated no longer.
The blood-colored badge on his chest directly shattered, transforming into a blood-red light that enveloped Xiao Wu.
"We'll meet again!" After leaving these words behind.
Xiao Wu had already vanished. Hogg's attack once again found nothing but air.
Yu Yuan, who had arrived near the two, ready to receive the fruits of victory, saw this scene. His brows slowly furrowed, and a contemplative expression appeared on his face.
"What's going on? This shouldn't be happening!"
The reason was that a mechanical prompt had already sounded in his ear.
