"Hmm?"
Suddenly, in Sakurako's perception, the Ya Lang pack split into two sides: "Are these guys trying to encircle us?"
"Kouen, Hong Maru!"
"Leave it to us."
The Ogres named Kouen and Hong Maru both came from the Red Ogre clan; they were a brother and sister.
The brother was named Kouen, and the sister was named Hong Maru.
Genetically, the two were also Hong Maru's cousins, so they joined their big cousin's team early on and became members of the Red Ogre group.
"Woof~~"
The long howls of the wolf pack came from all directions, frightening the traveling Goblins.
The Goblin Village Chief's already aged body trembled even more, but he still feigned composure, trying his best to comfort his surrounding clan members and tell them not to be afraid.
"It's Ya Wolves!"
The Village Chief's son saw the figures speeding through the darkness, and the fear of wolf beasts spread throughout his body.
"Don't panic!"
Their village was closest to the Storm Dragon's cave.
The Village Chief was the oldest Goblin and the first to surrender to Sakurako, so he was appointed by the Ogres as the temporary leader of this group of Goblins.
"Everyone, pick up your weapons, and have the women and children stand behind!"
The old Village Chief's voice trembled slightly, but he still gave the correct command.
Soon, all the Goblins formed a circle, protecting the women and children behind them, while they themselves picked up their tattered weapons 163, standing ready.
'Even weak Goblins will fight with all their might for survival.'
Seeing this, Sakurako nodded slightly, somewhat acknowledging these Goblins.
"Ya Wolves, if you stop here, we can pretend nothing happened."
The Kouen and Hong Maru siblings used magic to amplify their voices, conveying their stance to this group of Ya Wolves: "If you come any closer, it will be war with us Ogres!"
"Woof~~"
However, this group of Ya Wolves did not intend to give up the fat meat within their grasp.
So many Goblins gathered in one place saved the Ya Wolves the trouble of plundering them individually.
If they could devour them all in one go, the Ya Lang Clan would surely gain a large amount of magic essence, thereby standing out in the crisis-ridden forest!
"Tsk."
Souren's figure merged with the night. He watched the Ya Wolves' movements and transmitted, "Make your move; they've made up their minds to be our enemies."
"We're really being underestimated."
The Kouen and Hong Maru siblings exchanged glances, then released the suppression on their own magic essence.
At that moment, the aura of an A-rank monster, which had been unnoticeable to the outside world due to their restraint, swept over all the monsters on the field like a tsunami.
Whether it was Goblins or the Ya Lang Clan.
Under this terrifying demonic might that came crashing down, all of them fell into a momentary daze.
"What?!"
The Ya Lang Leader's fur stood on end, his eyes filled with disbelief: "This magic essence!!"
"No, impossible, how could such a thing happen?!"
"Why are the Ogres so strong?!"
"You, you are not Ogres at all!"
With the Ya Lang Leader's knowledge, it was naturally impossible for him to have seen the legendary Ogres.
Throughout the entire Jura Great Forest, not counting Toreni and the other Tree Elves, B+ was the pinnacle of all monsters.
As for A-rank higher-tier demons, that was a rank that only named monsters could reach!
In other words, the two red-haired Ogres in front of him were named monsters!
No!
It wasn't just the two of them!
There was also Sakurako, and Souren, who had appeared behind the Ya Lang pack at some unknown time, completely cutting off their retreat path into the forest.
"Four, four Ogre-level Ogres!"
The Ya Lang Leader's heart was filled with regret at this moment; he hadn't expected such a reversal.
They, who were clearly the hunters, had now become the prey suffering an ambush.
"Retreat!!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the Ya Lang Leader immediately let out a wolf howl to retreat.
He had miscalculated.
He had thought it was just a few ordinary Great Ogres leading the Goblins.
But Ogres...
Let alone four Ogres, even one was not something they could contend with.
Think of Hong Maru's confrontation with the Pighead Clan army in the original story.
A casual strike of Black Flame Prison could turn hundreds of Pighead Clan members into (aeae) ashes.
The Kouen and Hong Maru siblings' current strength was definitely not inferior to Hong Maru in the original novel.
To eliminate these five hundred Ya Wolves would only be a matter of minutes.
"Woof~~"
Without hesitation, all the Ya Wolves instinctively followed their leader's command, fleeing in every direction.
"Stop them!"
"Don't let a single one escape!"
Sakurako gave the command to Souren, who spread his arms and threw out a large quantity of ice-crystal-like threads, instantly covering the entire battlefield.
[Gap Crystal Silk]
This was an additional skill inherited from the space element possessed by Bai Luo.
It could cut space and extract tiny threads.
These spatial threads could not only bind enemies but were also incredibly sharp, comparable to the most top-tier divine weapons.
"Space Manipulation: Threading the Needle!"
A stream of light shot out from Souren's palm, constantly appearing and disappearing in space, connecting all the crystal threads that enveloped this space.
"Clap!"
Sakurako clapped her hands together, and an invisible barrier already enveloped all the Ya Wolves.
The next moment, the circular network woven by Souren began to glow with prismatic light, shimmering like a transparent kaleidoscope.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
A group of Ya Wolves frantically rushing forward only felt a fleeting stream of light in the darkness ahead.
They ignored it and crashed into it head-on.
And so...
"Woof?"
The figures of the wolves in front disappeared, only to reappear in other directions, and they went from having their backs to Sakurako and the others to facing them and rushing wildly.
"???"
At this point, all the Ya Wolves were bewildered.
"What's going on?"
The Ya Lang Leader realized that things had exceeded his expectations.
These Ogres had used some unknown method to seal off the surrounding space.
That circle of transparent mirrors was like a mirror, teleporting the wolf pack back, making it impossible for them to escape the range covered by the barrier.
"What should we do?"
Souren watched the Ya Wolf pack running around like headless chickens, then came to Sakurako's side and asked her how to deal with these Ya Wolves.
"Master should need them."
Bai Luo's attitude towards monsters was mainly to recruit and subdue them.
"Roar!!"
On the other side, dozens of Ya Wolves, seeing that they couldn't escape, began to attack the Goblins.
However, Kouen and Kougetsu had already locked onto them; how could they give the Ya Wolves a chance to harm the Goblins?
"Clap!"
Kougetsu casually waved her hand, and nearly a dozen giant wolves, the size of lions or tigers, immediately flew backward like broken sacks.
"Woof woof woof..."
The girl had already held back her strength, but with the terrifying arm strength of an Ogre, just a casual blow like that almost cost these Ya Wolves their lives.
