Chapter 180: Chapter 180


The answer came swiftly. Before the headlights faded, gun barrels thrust through the windows, unleashing a hail of bullets like a torrential downpour. I ducked behind rocks to dodge the assault, but caught the scent of lycotine. At the same time, several loud howls of wolves came from the other side, followed by a figure brimming with violence and the aura of an exile pouncing out and charging directly at us! "Evil Wolf! They’ve teamed up with the hunters," I gasped, rage filling my heart as the white fur on my neck bristled. These evil wolves clearly made some kind of dirty deal with hunters, for which they even hunted their own kind. The hunters provided cover fire from a distance while the evil wolves used their melee prowess to pin us down. They fought fiercely and didn’t rely on emotions to fight. They cooperated very well and were excellent warriors, which had caused us a lot of trouble. We couldn’t help the injured companions, and the hunters shot at them as if they were practicing with a moving target. "Moonlight Pack! Retreat!" Ethan was in agony, his massive black wolf form blocking the front, clamping down on one evil wolf. I helped him fend off the others while Jacob and Keith held the flanks firmly. Xaver and Adrian struggled to drag the rescued werewolves backward. I even saw Celena’s little wolf cub lending a hand. The battle grew exceptionally brutal. Under the hunters’ cold gunfire and the evil wolves’ relentless obstruction, we were utterly exhausted. We paid a heavy price just to barely escape, vanishing into the darkness of the dense forest. The atmosphere was heavy when the wolves were counting their numbers. Although we successfully rescued the werewolves in the dungeon, we also lost some companions. Fortunately, Ethan and my team were all safe. Among the rescued werewolves were faces that had been imprisoned for many years and were almost out of hope, as well as some members of Kyle’s clan. But Kyle soon came to tell us sorrowfully that one of his most capable companions and several warriors were not among them; they had been separately imprisoned by the hunters. "We missed them... Damn it," Kyle’s voice was hoarse, pain and self-blame nearly overwhelming him. Just now, he fought alone with two fierce wolves, biting them so badly that they were howling and screaming, and he himself was covered in injuries all over. He had just lost his partner and was unable to rescue all his people, which made him very sad. I linked to Ethan and wanted to comfort him, but a stronger sense of unease pierced through the hearts of both him and me like an ice cone. Through the link of the Wolf pack, I felt a sharp sense of fear and crisis that originated from afar. That feeling came from the Wolf Pack cabin, from my young daughter, Aurora! Carl’s Perspective Inside the hunter base, I wiped the blood from my face expressionlessly. The newly promoted captain, Seyoum, stood respectfully by my side. "Chief Carl, the wolves rescued some test subjects from the dungeon." "Expected." Rage boiled within me. This wasn’t part of my plan. How did those wolves kill Seyoum’s predecessor and find the key? Damn it. "Our enemies are beasts driven mad by fury. Did that little traitor Brett really think I trusted him completely?" I muttered a few words, picked up a tablet and fiddled with it a few times. A clear light spot appeared on it, precisely at the location of the town where the Moonlight Wolf Pack belonged. "The miniature locator I carried for him really came in handy. Those stupid wolves have fully deployed their main force. Their town must be very empty now. " I stroked my chin, a cruel glint flashing in my eyes: "Stephen has already taken two teams of top players. One team went to take over their lair, that Wolf pack cottage, where there should still be quite a few little Wolf cubs that I like. Another team went to the hospital and dealt with Brett, the traitor, as well as the werewolves who might be there. A perfect plan. It’s time to make these monsters pay the price." Seyoum followed with a sycophantic laugh: "Understood, Boss Carl. You truly are a wise leader." Alright, when it came to sucking up, he was slightly better than his predecessor. Damn wolves, what will you do now? My blade is already pressed against your softest underbelly.
