Ultragenic Warlord

Chapter 806: Disaster-Grade Wolves

Upon receiving the golden mammoth's orders, the mammoth warriors hurriedly grabbed the elderly and children around them and rushed off toward the valley.

The golden mammoth also made his move. He picked up the mammoth elder and three children as he galloped toward that narrow path of salvation.

Before the lifeforms could surround them all, the mammoths ran away.

The elder shouted, "Remember what I told you before?"

"Do you have any suggestions, elder?"

"There's no time. Quick, sacrifice us elderly. We can delay the lifeforms for a few precious seconds!"

The golden mammoth ignored the elder and continued to run for his life.

The elder cried out, "Did you hear me? Toss us aside!"

The golden mammoth replied, "Elder, we're a step away from sanctuary! How could I bear to let you all down now?!"

The elder was simultaneously infuriated and touched. "You—"

Just then, a white wolf leapt past the mammoths and blocked the entrance to the valley, causing the mammoths to stumble back.

The wolf was none other than the leader of the wolf pack.

The golden mammoth allowed the elder and children to get off him as he unsheathed his sword in rage and roared, "Just how far are you going to go?!"

As the other genetic lifeforms approached, the elder despaired. "Is this the end of the mammoth herd...?"

Just then, a blinding flash of light came from the sky, illuminating the entire snowfield, as though a sun had suddenly appeared amidst the world of frost. This was an exceptional phenomenon: the skies of the mammoths' world was always clouded. It was eternal winter, and ice and snow were all the mammoths knew.

White dragons of light soared through the air like meteors, manifesting into reality. Their roars shook the entire snowfield as they descended to the ground.

The lifeforms that had been intending to attack the mammoths were all struck down by the dragons. Light flared from all around them, lighting up the path forward for the mammoths.

The golden mammoth smiled in relief and gratitude. This familiar attack—he knew who had come to their rescue.

The wolf pack, thinking victory was imminent, never expected this devastating blow. They were crushed in an instant.

The golden mammoth took the opportunity to send the leader of the wolf pack flying as he shouted, "Rush into the valley, now! I'll hold these lifeforms back!"

The mammoths rushed down the path toward the valley as though their lives depended on it. More lifeforms gave chase, but they had to face the golden mammoth, first.

The golden mammoth's plain, unadorned blade sent all the lifeforms flying. A pool of blood formed where he stood, and the limbs of fallen lifeforms were strewn all around him. The golden mammoth smiled as he glanced up at the sky again—in thanks for Li Feng's assistance.

"[Dance of the Incandescent Wyrm]!" Li Feng summoned dozens of serpents, flaring with blinding light. The dragons seemed to be burning with light; their bodies were covered with pale white flame. They swept through the hordes of lifeforms and held them back.

The pale white fire spread over the lifeforms that struck them and lit up the clouded world, which remained in a perennial half-darkness. The dragons, almost like messengers of heaven, vanquished all the mammoths' foes.

The golden mammoth stood guard at the entrance of the ?valley as Li Feng devastated the battlefield from above. Man and mammoth seized control of the battlefield, causing the errant lifeforms to quail despite their superior numbers.

These lifeforms weren't idiots. The mammoths were at the weakest they had been in decades, maybe centuries, and they were juicy prey indeed.

However, no lifeform wanted to die. It was evident that the mammoths would get away, and there was no need to keep fighting against the golden mammoth and Li Feng any longer. Some of the lifeforms began pulling back, angering the leader of the wolf pack. He had planned this ambush for an entire week, and he had sought out the help and cooperation of these other races—only to have his plan ruined at the last moment!

He harbored a grudge against the mammoths because his very father had been hunted down by mammoth warriors. He had waited for many years for a chance to seek revenge. How could he give up on this opportunity? As he howled, he shot forward in a flurry of ice.

Even the golden mammoth, who had lived in this frozen world for his entire life, found it difficult to deal with a barrage of snow.

The leader of the wolf pack pounced toward the golden mammoth and knocked him flying.

Li Feng was shocked by the strength that the wolf leader had displayed. He had been tailing the mammoths for quite some time, and he was also keeping half an eye on the wolf leader.

When the wolves first launched an assault against the mammoths, it was Li Feng who had helped the golden mammoth out. However, the wolf leader had only attacked a scant few times, and Li Feng had been unable to get a good sense of its true strength.

Given the speed and strength with which it pounced toward the golden mammoth, however, Li Feng now recognized that it was at least a pseudo-disaster-grade lifeform, if not one in full.

The wolf leader howled again, as though informing its pack that it would take care of the golden mammoth while the pack and other lifeforms rushed into the valley.

With their leader holding back the golden mammoth, the other wolves and lifeforms immediately grew bolder.

"[Arclight Dragon's Imprint]!" Li Feng, now clad in a suit of dragon armor, waved his left arm.

A seal of light materialized around him as a gigantic dragon's claw appeared in the air like a pillar of light. It swiped at the wolf pack, leaving large furrows in the ground and sending the wolves at the forefront careening into the air.

Meanwhile, the golden mammoth charged forward at the leader of the wolf pack like a mad bull, raising the froststeel sword in his hand up high and barreling toward him.

As he swung his sword down, the ground beneath him cracked and left a deep pit behind. Snow drifted into the air, hundreds of meters high.

However, the wolf leader was nowhere to be seen. With its extreme speed, it had easily dodged the golden mammoth's telegraphed blow.

As Li Feng's dragons cried out, a white dragon descended from the air and smashed the wolf leader into the ground.

Li Feng smirked as he relaxed his arm, motes of light gathering around him.

The golden mammoth struck again with his blade as the wolf leader roared. A blizzard formed around the wolf leader, and the mammoth was forced to defend with his blade.

A beam of light crashed down onto the wolf leader like a bolt of lightning, tearing the blizzard apart and illuminating the snowfield.

"[Light's Bulwark: Dragon's Teeth]!" Li Feng charged up for a stronger attack. Concentrated light-attuned genetic energy surrounded him, condensed, and fell from the heavens, piercing the head of the wolf leader.

The wolf leader, who was sizing up the golden mammoth, had no attention to spare for Li Feng.

The golden mammoth was himself a disaster-grade lifeform, while Li Feng's was even beyond that. As a result, the cooperation between Li Feng and the golden mammoth allowed them to easily take down the wolf leader together.

Even so, despite the fact that the back of his head had been pierced clean through, the wolf leader was still struggling. Li Feng frowned. "The core isn't in his head?"

The core tended to be located in a disaster-grade lifeform's head or chest, where the heart would have been. To kill a disaster-grade lifeform for good, they would have to remove its core from its body...
