The leader of the black-clad men, the one with the photo, was still conscious, lying on his back on the ground, drenched in blood, trembling all over as if he had seen a demon, his teeth chattering: "Wolf, wolf, the wolf is coming—"
His trembling hand fumbled inside his clothes, finally pulling out a pistol, but before he could fire a single bullet, the gun was swatted away by the massive beast!
The photo man let out a sudden shriek and passed out.
A strange, raspy breath came from the monster’s throat, as if it were sneering at the cowardice of the man beneath its feet.
Then, it abruptly turned, fixing its cold gaze on the only two people left on the scene!
Suddenly locked in the monster’s stare, and with that vicious, predatory look in its eyes, Qiqi felt her entire body stiffen, her mouth opening but no words coming out... The creature before her looked very much like a wolf—massive in size, with sharp, pointed ears, emerald-green eyes, and a fluffy tail... And it bore a striking resemblance to Rong Yi’s original form, but why was it so much larger than him?
Although Rong Yi’s original form was bigger than an adult husky, it was still within the normal size range for a wolf... But this monster was three or four times larger than Rong Yi, already looking as big as a horse... And it had gleaming white fangs and eyes as huge as brass bells! When it howled at the sky, blood dripped from those cold, shining teeth—truly a blood-drenched, gaping maw!
"Owww—"
The monster raised its head and let out a long howl, and even the moonlight seemed to dim in an instant! Sand and stones flew through the air, trees swayed violently, and a faint, panicked commotion came from the guests in the villa...
Qiqi’s throat made a gulping sound as she shivered, quietly stepping back...
Lu Wei wrapped his arms around her from behind, then, trembling, pulled her behind him...
"Qiqi, run!" he ordered in a low, swift, and decisive voice.
Was he planning to face the monster’s attack alone?
But even Lu Wei’s body trembled in the wind as he stood before the enormous beast—his upright, snow-white figure like a dying autumn leaf, quivering with fear.
"Let’s go together!"
Qiqi suddenly grabbed Lu Wei’s arm from behind, giving him a firm look; Lu Wei paused briefly, and then they both broke into a sprint!
With a "whoosh," before they could run five meters, the monster leaped in a single bound, blocking their path!
It loomed over them, coldly staring down at the two like ants, its fur bristling all over.
The giant beast was right there, glaring angrily, and Qiqi felt like she might faint!
No, she couldn’t faint! She had to stay calm!
Qiqi pinched her thigh hard, took a deep breath, and then let out a whisper as faint as a mosquito’s buzz: "Rong... Rong... Rong Yi?"
She had no other choice—she had to try anything!
Lu Wei was slightly startled.
Hearing the girl’s words, the monster paused for a moment, its green eyes flickering a few times.
Then, it looked at the girl with a strange expression, seeming somewhat confused, and tentatively extended one of its front paws.
Only then did Qiqi notice a large, scorched patch of flesh on its massive paw, as if it had been corroded by sulfuric acid.
Had that whole bottle of concentrated acid splashed onto it?
But the tip of the monster’s front paw revealed sickle-like claws, and as Qiqi watched those cold, gleaming claws draw closer and closer to her face, her mind went completely blank, unable to think of anything else...
