Da Yan, Donghai City.
Deep darkness enveloped the entire city. After the nuclear explosion, most electrical appliances had lost their functionality.
The light of the blood moon could not penetrate this profound darkness. Within the darkness, the illumination of most safe zones had completely vanished.
Humanity felt unease and fear towards the deep night outside the safe zones.
Once, countless blood-red malicious eyes had stared intently at the safe zones. Now, only deathly silence remained in the darkness.
And at this moment, this deathly silent darkness began to churn…
Unlike the deathly silence in other districts of Donghai City, the Binhai District was exceptionally lively at this moment.
Constantly erupting fire illuminated the dense darkness. Roaring night wolves charged madly towards the man standing on the giant blue hand.
But all they received in return was a colossal palm descending from the sky, or a blazing fireball exploding with a deafening roar.
Chen Luo frowned, looking towards the darkness hundreds of meters away. The light from his fireballs was no longer sufficient to illuminate that far, and the last few dozen elite night wolves had also slipped into the darkness.
However, if he pursued further, he would be moving away from the safe zone.
Just as Chen Luo felt a bit troubled, a profound malice emanated from the distant darkness.
Accompanying the emergence of malice were sounds of dull chewing.
"Something is about to come out..." The frequency of his mage's hand attacks began to decrease. Chen Luo focused more of his attention on the darkness a hundred meters away.
The darkness that enveloped the city was peculiar. It resembled fog, yet it lacked any form.
Under the enhancement of the "Eagle Eye" skill and the "Magic Eye" talent, Chen Luo already possessed a certain degree of night vision. However, without firelight, he still couldn't discern any changes within the darkness.
In the direction Chen Luo was looking, within the darkness, a terrifying wolf, five meters tall, was devouring a deserter whose head it had just bitten off.
Behind it were several identical terrifying monsters.
The elite night wolves, originally two meters tall and four meters long, were already formidable monsters for ordinary people.
But before these terrifying giant wolves, the elite night wolves were like children, utterly defenseless.
Their fur was not the common black of night wolves, nor the vibrant red that appeared when elite night wolves activated their bloodlust. Instead, it was a deep, dark crimson, as if endless blood had settled upon their pelts.
The terrifying giant wolf lowered its head and bit down. The severed head of the elite night wolf was completely engulfed by its maw.
As it chewed, thick blood gushed from between its sharp teeth.
Behind the terrifying giant wolf, scattered across the ground, were the mangled remains of dozens of elite night wolves. This was the fate of the deserter.
Suddenly, the terrifying wolf, in the midst of its chewing, seemed to sense something. It raised its head.
Where its pupils should have been, there was only a deep, abyssal blackness. Yet, it appeared to clearly see Chen Luo outside the darkness.
As if sensing Chen Luo's wariness, the terrifying giant wolf tilted its head back and completely swallowed the deserter.
After finishing its meal, it lowered its head again, its gaze fixed on Chen Luo outside the darkness. A human-like smile appeared on the giant wolf's lips.
But this smile was filled with malice.
...
Thump!
A dull thud echoed in the darkness!
Chen Luo once again slew all the surrounding night wolves that were attacking him, and focused his gaze on the direction of the sound.
No, it wasn't just one sound!
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The sounds grew closer, louder!
And the source of the sounds was not singular!!
These were the footsteps of some kind of monster!!
Chen Luo scanned his surroundings. He clearly sensed that new hunters had targeted him within the darkness, and these hunters were approaching!
His spirit was highly alert! His spells were ready to be unleashed!
The wolf pack also seemed to sense the change in atmosphere. The previously frenzied ordinary night wolves all stopped their attacks, growled at Chen Luo, and then gradually retreated into the darkness.
As the last ordinary night wolf disappeared back into the darkness, the entire battlefield became incredibly quiet.
After the cessation of combat, the light from the floating fireballs around him could only illuminate a hundred meters of darkness.
Both inside and outside this darkness, there was an eerie silence.
Only the increasingly approaching heavy footsteps reminded Chen Luo that danger was imminent!
"Come! Whatever means you have! I, Chen Luo, stand here! Take it all!"
Hearing Chen Luo's shout, the approaching footsteps abruptly stopped.
The next moment!
"ROAR!!!" A colossal roar erupted from all directions.
Accompanying the roars were ten terrifying giant wolves that suddenly burst forth from the darkness.
They stood at least five meters tall, each one resembling a small building.
And at this moment, these colossal monsters were charging towards Chen Luo with a speed utterly disproportionate to their size.
Amidst the roars, the monsters opened their cavernous mouths, revealing short-sword-like fangs, with flecks of scarlet flesh still clinging to them.
A hundred meters was a distance they could cross in an instant!
For them, they were the strongest beneath the Wolf King! They were beings of absolute high standing within the wolf pack!
"Finally, something with some bite!" Facing the sudden onslaught of monsters, Chen Luo showed no panic whatsoever.
The monsters' current speed surpassed even that of elite night wolves in a bloodthirsty state. If it were the Chen Luo from the beginning of the battle, he might not have been able to discern their movements.
But Chen Luo's strength was growing with every passing second!

In a meditative state, Chen Luo's eyes had transformed into dazzling golden pupils. As Eagle Eye advanced, faint, mystical patterns began to appear in Chen Luo's eyes.
They seemed to share some similarities with the magical trajectories of Eagle Eye, yet upon closer inspection, they exhibited distinct changes. This was the manifestation of the "Magic Eye" talent's solidification.

Within his mystical golden pupils, every flickering strand of fur on these ten terrifying giant wolves was incredibly clear. The sharpness of their short-sword-like fangs exuded a chilling glint.
The concrete ground beneath them cracked deeply with every step of their charge.
And Chen Luo, standing on the colossal mage's hand, facing the terrifying assault from all four directions,
Simply, snapped his fingers.
