Intercepting

After venturing deep into the Bowang Mountains for some time, Chen Ze could no longer contain his curiosity and asked Chen Fu a question.

"Boss, what exactly is our objective this time? You're being so secretive and well-prepared, and you wouldn't tell us anything at the post station."

"Yeah, what good stuff does the captain have that requires the entire Battle Axe Squad to be mobilized?" Gao Gu couldn't contain his curiosity after Chen Ze said that.

"Stop!" Chen Fu stretched out his hand, and everyone stopped. Chen Ze and the other five looked at Chen Fu with great anticipation.

Chen Fu said in a low voice, "This target is particularly important. The reason I didn't mention it at the post station was because I was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would overhear and cause unnecessary trouble."

"Our only goal this time is to find a heavily injured advanced-stage warrior-level three-eyed demon wolf. The injuries I sustained were from an accident during our previous battle with the three-eyed demon wolf, but this only confirms that the three-eyed demon wolf doesn't have much strength left."

"An advanced-stage Three-Eyed Demon Wolf... how much would its corpse be worth?" Chen Ze's eyes gleamed upon hearing this, but he quickly realized, "Boss, while an advanced-stage Three-Eyed Demon Wolf is valuable, it's also enormous. We can't possibly take much with us!"

"Are you stupid? This time, in order to eliminate the demons of Bowang Mountain, the Magic Association specially lent us a storage magic tool. We can use it to take the corpse of the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf back. Otherwise, I wouldn't have set my sights on the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf."

Chen Fu glared at Chen Ze, then glanced at the team members and gave a serious order.

"We only have one goal this time, so we should try our best not to provoke other demons during the process, avoid them if possible, and try not to get injured. Once injured, we may not be able to achieve our expected goal."

After Chen Fu finished speaking, everyone nodded solemnly with serious expressions.

"Set off!"

Seeing this, Chen Fu waved his hand and led the group to their destination, following the marks left by the scouts in the group.

……

"Captain, there's a three-eyed wolf resting about 300 meters ahead." Wang Min, who had been walking at the front of the group, suddenly darted out from the edge of the bushes and said to the others.

"Come on, take us to see this place! We've been in Bowang Mountain for so long, and apart from that Blood-Veined Giant Rat we encountered before, we haven't run into a single general-level demon. It's really bad luck." A look of joy appeared on Zhang Tian's face.

Wang Min led the Skyfire Squad to the edge of a thicket of thorns without making a sound. Through the tangled thorns, they could see a large, three-eyed demon wolf lying there resting with its eyes closed fifty meters away.

"This three-eyed demon wolf is huge, and the aura it exudes is terrifying!" Rou Rou said cautiously, sensing the murderous aura emanating from the three-eyed demon wolf.

"Judging from the aura it exudes, this three-eyed demon wolf is at least at the advanced stage. We are no match for it. Let's leave slowly and not wake it up," Zhang Tian said in a low voice, frowning.

"An advanced-stage Three-Eyed Demon Wolf?!" Lin Chen was taken aback. If he could kill it, its wolf soul would definitely be of exceptionally high quality. Unfortunately, he couldn't defeat it.

Just as Lin Chen was about to retreat with the others, he suddenly smelled a strong stench of blood.

Following the direction of the bloody smell, Lin Chen noticed that the three-eyed wolf's waist had many areas without fur, and its flesh looked like pieces of charcoal, indicating that it had been burned by flames. There was also a long wound on its abdomen.

"Captain, it seems to be injured, and it looks quite badly injured," Lin Chen reminded him.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Skyfire Squad looked in the direction Lin Chen was pointing and also noticed the wounds on the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf's body.

"I was wondering why the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf hadn't noticed us when we were so close. Turns out he's injured!" Wang Min patted her head and exclaimed softly.

Liu Meng rolled his eyes at Wang Min and said, "I thought you were confident you could bring us this close, but it turns out it was just a lucky guess. At first, I thought the smell of blood was from the demon wolf killing too many animals, but now it seems it's from its own severely injured body."

"Wang Min, look!" Liu Lin was examining the area closely with binoculars when she suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "This three-eyed demon wolf has markings on it. It looks like they were left by Zhao Feng, the scout from the Battle Axe Squad."

"Yes, I recognize it." Wang Min took the binoculars, observed the three-eyed wolf's body for a while, and nodded.

"It seems this demonic wolf was prey of the Battle Axe Squad. The injuries it sustained earlier were also caused by the Battle Axe Squad. No wonder Chen Fu was bandaged up like a dumpling when he came back," Zhang Tian said thoughtfully.

"Awoo!"

Just as the Skyfire Squad was discussing among themselves, the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf, which was lying on the ground, suddenly stood up and let out an angry and unwilling howl towards the sky.

The Skyfire Squad members were immediately startled, all thinking they had been discovered by the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf.

After the three-eyed wolf howled once, it howled a few more times in a low voice, then chose a direction and continued to head deeper into the mountains and forests.

At this moment, all the members of the Skyfire Squad turned their heads and focused their attention on their captain, Zhang Tian.

"Captain, this is a heavily injured advanced-stage Three-Eyed Demon Wolf. If we kill it, even leaving Bo City right now would be a huge profit!" Liu Meng said excitedly.

"Captain, that three-eyed demon wolf is leaving quickly. If we miss this opportunity, we'll miss it forever. If the axe-slaying team finds it again, we'll be at a huge loss!" Liu Lin urged from the side.

"Yes, Captain, please make a decision quickly." Even the usually gentle Rou Rou couldn't help but say.

Zhang Tian gazed at the three-eyed demon wolf that was getting further and further away from his group, pondered for a while, and finally spoke.

"If Heaven gives us an opportunity and we don't seize it, we'll only suffer the consequences! The Battle Axe Squad always claims we were wrongly accused of stealing their Three-Eyed Demon Wolf, but this time they've truly encountered their prey, and a severely wounded one at that. If we don't take it, wouldn't we be letting down the mess they've made of us?"

Having received Zhang Tian's affirmative reply, Wang Min took the lead in taking action.

"Wind Tracks - Drifting Shadows!"

A blue star trail appeared, and a gust of wind swirled around Wang Min. Under his mental control, Wang Min's body transformed into a blue shadow, following the trajectory of the wind, and instantly appeared a hundred meters in front of the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf.

The three-eyed wolf was stunned when it saw Wang Min suddenly appear, and then it rushed towards Wang Min.

As the three-eyed demon wolf drew ever closer, Wang Min remained calm, using her mind to manipulate the yellowish-brown stars into a rapid star trail.

"Ground wave - collapse!"

In an instant, the ground of the entire mountain forest rippled noticeably, forming a zone of quicksand.

This caused the Three-Eyed Demon Wolf to not only fail to charge at Wang Min, but instead to continue sinking, while the rest of the Skyfire Squad took this opportunity to catch up.

Zhang Tian glanced at Lin Chen, who was following closely behind his group, and kindly reminded him, "Lin Chen, the strength of this Three-Eyed Demon Wolf is far inferior to your summoned beast. You should just stand aside and watch; we can handle it."
