After giving instructions to the others, Mu Ci immediately used his domain power to traverse the nearby forest.
He had to reach the wolf den before the remaining demonic wolves and wolf bandits could react and wipe them out completely.
Guided by the endless forest plants, Mu Ci moved with incredible speed, like a phantom in the forest. His familiarity with the route even surpassed that of the Frostwind Demonic Wolves, without the slightest deviation or error.
Dozens of kilometers passed in an instant, and Mu Ci arrived at a cave.
Looking at the human remains scattered before the cave and the aura emanating from within, Mu Ci's expression grew increasingly cold and stern, his eyes filled with chilling killing intent.
His Abundant Domain silently shielded all auras, sensing the signs of life within the cave.
Golden lightning gathered in Mu Ci's hand, and the surrounding air gradually distorted due to the fluctuations in his emotions.
Step by step, he walked to the cave entrance, his icy gaze sweeping over everything inside.
The Frostwind Wolves and wolf bandits remaining in the cave's wolf den had clearly noticed the uninvited guest.
Although their animal instincts constantly alerted them to danger, and their feet unconsciously retreated, they were already cornered at their doorstep; how could they possibly escape?
Seeing Mu Ci wielding the Golden Thunder Spear, the leader of the ten-thousand-year-old wolf bandits roared, and then all the wolves in the cave bared their gleaming white canines and swarmed forward.
There was no escape; they could only fight for their lives.
But unfortunately, they faced Mu Ci, a being whose normal combat strength rivaled that of a Title Douluo, coupled with the endurance of his Abundant Power.
How could these beasts possibly budge him?
This time, Mu Ci held nothing back. Golden light flashed on his Xuan Deer Golden Horn, and the Demon-Slaying Golden Thunder intertwined in the cave, forming a sea of lightning. The unimaginable explosion and intense heat instantly swept away all the creatures in the cave.
He had already scanned the cave with his domain; besides the wolves, there were no other survivors.
Those plundered from various villages and caravans all died under the torment of the demonic wolves.
After all, demonic wolves and wolf bandits have no mercy; survival of the fittest is their law.
The thunderous roar lasted for dozens of breaths before gradually subsiding.
Most of the dozens of demonic wolves and wolf bandits left guarding the cave were reduced to ashes by the golden lightning, with only one still intact and breathing.
Mu Ci carefully examined the wolf bandit's physique and features such as canine teeth and fur that could indicate age, and roughly deduced that it was the oldest in the entire pack, and calling it the wolf king wouldn't be unreasonable.
After all, wolf bandits also had some human blood, and their growth rate far exceeded that of soul beasts.
With sufficient food, they could perhaps grow to the equivalent of hundreds of years of lifespan in a year.
Tap tap—
the only surviving wolf bandit looked at Mu Ci walking towards it, his wolf eyes filled with endless fear and hidden bloodlust, but severely injured and on the verge of death, he no longer had the strength to even howl.
Mu Ci walked to a spot not far from the wolf bandit, a hint of surprise still lingering in his eyes.
Although his scattered golden lightning wasn't as powerful as when it was concentrated, it was still more than this wolf bandit, who was only about 20,000 to 30,000 years old, could withstand.
However, Mu Ci didn't delve too deeply into it; if he wasn't dead, he'd just finish him off.
Mu Ci raised his right hand, extending a slender index finger, and streaks of golden lightning converged into a single point.
"Beings like you should be called abominations!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden point of light was suddenly ejected.
Dense electric light, like a plasma bomb, formed a golden lightning sphere five meters in diameter, centered on the wolf bandit's body, which lasted for several breaths before gradually disappearing.
Just as Mu Ci turned to leave, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a dark crystal left behind by the wolf bandit in the deep pit.
Tiny specks of golden lightning still flickered on its surface, but they couldn't cause any harm.
Mu Ci turned around, rubbed his chin, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.
He immediately waved his hand, and a streak of soul power pulled it up from the bottom of the pit.
He examined the crystal in his hand for a moment, finding nothing particularly remarkable. However, through the exploration of his Abundant Domain, he discovered an extremely dense, unusual earth element.
But it was subtly different from the earth element of the Douluo Continent, suggesting it was likely an item that had fallen from another world.
Such occurrences weren't unprecedented in the Douluo Continent; spatial fluctuations and rifts could easily connect different worlds, making it unsurprising that other life forms or objects might have come from there. For
example, the Evil Eye Tyrant of the Sun and Moon Continent.
Mu Ci studied it for a while longer, realizing he couldn't understand it in the short term, so he stored the item in his soul tool, intending to deal with it later when he had more free time.
When Mu Ci emerged from the cave, countless towering trees began to sprout from the earth, their thick, dragon-like roots weaving through the mountains.
After a violent earthquake, the cave collapsed with a deafening roar, burying everything beneath a deluge of earth and rocks.
When the roar subsided, Mu Ci waved his hand again, and azure-gold light flashed across the scene. Countless plants and trees began to grow wildly, instantly transforming the area into a forest like the surrounding landscape.
Mu Ci looked at the changed mountainside and sighed.
It wasn't that he didn't want to bring back the remains of the victims, but rather that he simply couldn't find much left to take.
Hundreds of wolves had infested the area; how much flesh and bones could possibly remain?
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Mu Ci began his journey back to Tianhan City.
Hotel room.
When Mu Ci returned, he saw Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er sitting on the sofa in the room, still not resting.
"Brother Mu Ci, how did things go?"
The two women immediately rose to greet Mu Ci upon his return.
"I've eliminated the remaining Frostwind Wolves and wolf bandits in the wolf den, but unfortunately, none of those who were abducted survived."
Hearing Mu Ci's account, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er fell silent, unsure how to comfort him, and the atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy.
Mu Ci, seeing the two women's expressions, spoke up.
"Alright, it's all over now. At least with our intervention, the civilians inside and outside Tianhan City are no longer threatened by these wolf bandits."
"You fought for so long, why didn't you rest?"
Seeing Mu Ci change the subject, Shui Bing'er regained her serene smile.
"Lord Loran found a piece of the left arm bone of a thousand-year-old Frostwolf among the wolf pack and personally delivered it."
As she spoke, Shui Bing'er took out an ice-blue bone from her soul tool and offered it to Mu Ci.
However, Mu Ci didn't take it, but pushed it back and shook his head.
"The soldiers guarding the city also deserve credit for tonight's events. Didn't you give them some gold soul coins as compensation?"
"I did, but the city lord refused. He said the corpses of those demonic wolves alone were enough to generate ten years' income for Tianhan City, so he didn't want any more."
Mu Ci understood and smiled at the two women.
"In that case, let's get some rest."
An hour later.
Mu Ci sensed Shui Yue'er's return and felt somewhat helpless.
"Yue'er, you..."
"I don't care!"
The Abundant Domain quietly enveloped the room, preventing any further sound or aura from escaping.
