Chapter 61 A Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf Appears
"I wonder if that brat is alright, and what about Xin Xia, and that Mo family boy? And how did that brat even know about the Black Vatican's plan?" Jiang Kun stared at the blood-stained street outside the hall, lost in thought.
However, Jiang Kun quickly regained his senses and asked a member of the magic association behind him, "Jiang Jing, how many members are still alive in our association?"
"There are still 128 people: 108 beginner mages, 19 intermediate mages, and 1 advanced mage," Jiang Jing replied respectfully.
"High-level mage? Jiang Jing, are you mistaken? Didn't the guild leader go to a meeting in a neighboring city? How could you have listed a high-level mage?"
"Yes, we already know of two high-level mages in Bo City: the Guild Master and the Commander of the Snow Peak Mountain Station. When did we get a third high-level mage?"
"·····"
The members of the Magic Association following Jiang Kun immediately started discussing, thinking that Jiang Jing had made a mistake. Jiang Jing coughed lightly and said seriously, "Ahem, I forgot to tell you some good news. Just yesterday, our President Jiang successfully broke through to become a high-level mage. Therefore, including the president, our Magic Association now has two high-level mages."
"What?! President Jiang has broken through! This is fantastic!!"
"President Jiang is awesome!!!"
"A high-level mage! In a small city like Bo City, that's a real expert!" The members of the Magic Association behind Jiang Kun were stunned for a moment after hearing Jiang Jing's words, and then they shouted excitedly.
Jiang Kun had actually broken through to the level of a high-level mage more than a decade ago. Zhan Kong's guess was always right; Jiang Kun had simply been hiding his strength. If it weren't for this crisis, Jiang Kun would never have revealed his high-level mage power. As a renowned genius in Bo City back then, it would have been strange if Jiang Kun hadn't broken through to the level of a high-level mage. However, after that incident, Jiang Kun concealed his brilliance and joined the Magic Association as an ordinary member.
As for why Jiang Kun would restrain his sharp edge, many people are unaware of the inside story.
"Jiang Jing, pass the word down that everyone should assemble immediately in the hall and prepare to leave," Jiang Kun said coldly.
"Yes." Jiang Jing finished speaking and ran off to inform the others.
A dozen minutes later, the thousands of surviving citizens and hundreds of members of the Magic Association had assembled in the hall. Jiang Kun stood at the second-floor railing, looked down at the dense crowd below, took a deep breath, and said, "Everyone, I am Jiang Kun, the vice president of the Magic Association. Perhaps some of you have heard of my name, but I think most of you haven't."
"Whether you've heard of me or not doesn't matter. What I want to say is that I'm deeply sorry that this disaster in Bo City has shattered many of your families. Due to the dwindling numbers in our Magic Association, we have had to abandon the search for other surviving citizens. Among them may be your separated wives or parents, but we must apologize because we simply don't have the resources to search for them anymore. We can only send the survivors to the safety barrier. I hope you can understand."
"What? They're actually going to abandon the search and rescue of the remaining surviving civilians?"
"What does your Magic Association mean? My wife and children haven't been rescued yet, how can you give up the search? You can't do this, you have to continue the search, my wife and children may still be alive."
"Sigh, we've already sacrificed enough for the rescue of our Magic Association, we have no reason to sacrifice anything else for them."
"Shut up! Your wife and children aren't dead, what right do you have to talk to us?"
"·····"
As soon as Jiang Kun finished speaking, the hall became noisy again. Some cursed Jiang Kun and his group for being heartless, some understood them, and some even said they wanted to join the Magic Association and fight alongside them.
Jiang Kun glanced at the chaotic hall and said loudly, "I'm here to inform you. Those who want to leave, come with me in half an hour. Those who don't want to leave, I'll leave you with medicine and food. Alright, everyone go and get ready. We'll meet in the hall in half an hour."
After Jiang Kun finished speaking, he turned and left, ignoring the still chaotic hall.
·······
"Great, only two kilometers left to the safety barrier, everyone keep it up!" Mo Fan, who was walking at the front, said.
Under Jiang Han's leadership, the vanguard team's coordination became increasingly close after several bloody battles. When facing ordinary servant-level demons, Tang Yue and Jiang Han hardly had to worry, as Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Zhang Xiaohou could handle them.
After passing through the commercial streets and the mountains outside the city, the vanguard team will be able to successfully reach the safety barrier of Bo City.
"Mmm, we're almost there." Ye Xinxia leaned against Jiang Han's back with a sweet smile.
Jiang Han scanned the chaotic street with a wary expression. The street was unusually quiet, which made him feel uneasy. He raised his right hand and said, "Stop. Don't you think it's too quiet here?"
"Isn't it better to be quiet? We wouldn't dare pass through here if it weren't quiet," Zhao Kun said, puzzled.
Having participated in the city's demon-hunting team, Mo Fan quickly understood what Jiang Han meant. He said incredulously, "Jiang Han, are you saying there are high-level demons here?"
"How is this possible? It's so... mmm." Zhao Kunsan's words were cut off by Mu Bai's hand covering his mouth.
Jiang Han led Mo Fan and the others to hide in a residential building. He raised his right hand, put his index finger to his mouth, and made a "shh" gesture, signaling everyone to shut up and not speak.
About half a minute later, the ground began to tremble, and dust began to fall from the residential buildings as they shook. This made Mu Bai, Zhou Min, and the others hiding in the buildings hold their breath, and their faces even showed astonishment and fear.
"Thump thump thump thump!!!!"
Heavy footsteps approached from afar, each step causing the apartment building to tremble. The noise terrified Zhao Kun, who was hiding in the building, so much that his face turned pale and his legs trembled. If Mu Bai hadn't been supporting him, he probably would have collapsed to the ground.
"call!!!"
A foul-smelling breath came from not far away, the exhaled breath forming chaotic air currents that swirled on the ground in the street.
A huge silver wolf head emerged from a flat building in the distance, its head covered with ferocious bone spikes. The massive wolf head had three enormous eyes, each one blood-red and filled with a savage aura.
This behemolang was none other than a War General-level warrior.
"Gulp!" It seemed to swallow hard, and the huge wolf head looked directly at the residential building where Jiang Han and the others were hiding.
"Damn it, why is this big guy looking this way?" Xu Zhaoting cursed on the spot in anger.
"You guys retreat to a distance, I'll go and take care of this Bone-Spiked Wolf." Jiang Han said, handing Ye Xinxia, whom he was carrying on his back, to Mo Fan, and then quickly rushed out of the residential building towards the Bone-Spiked Wolf not far away.
"This..." Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting, Zhou Min and the others were all taken aback by Jiang Han's "recklessness".
Yes, that's right. In the eyes of Mu Bai, Xu Zhaoting, Zhou Min and others, Jiang Han was too "reckless". They had never seen Jiang Han's true strength. They only knew that Jiang Han was a mid-level mage. But how could a mid-level mage be a match for a warrior-level bone spike wolf?
"What are you standing there for? Get out of here. This is not a battle you can participate in." Tang Yue glanced at Jiang Han, who had rushed out, and began to organize the rest of the vanguard team to evacuate from the residential building.
P.S.: I have a splitting headache and a persistent high fever. Updates may be unstable, sorry!
