Chapter 49 Bloodstained Alert
"Boss Zhan Kong, you can't be impulsive now. Searching for Jiang Han is probably unnecessary. Even the Bone Spike Wolf couldn't survive the bombardment of that thunder dragon, Jiang Han might already be..." Bai Yang's voice trailed off at the end.
Bai Yang cursed inwardly, "That kid better die there, so I don't have to take matters into my own hands."
"Shut up, what do you know?" Zhan Kong shouted.
As soon as Zhan Kong's order was given, seven or eight Guardian Masters were ready to go and search for Jiang Han. But just as they were ready, a streak of light rushed toward the Xuefeng Mountain post station.
After the streak of light landed on the wall, Zhan Kong and the others could see who it was. It was Jiang Han, but he looked terrible. His whole body was blackened, and blood was even seeping from his charred skin.
"Boss Zhan Kong, quickly call a medic to give me a recovery. That really hurts, damn it!" Jiang Han cursed as he walked into the command room.
Seeing that Jiang Han was alright, Zhan Kong breathed a sigh of relief and ordered, "Go and summon Zhan Mingqing and Huo Yan."
In the time it took for the medic to arrive, Zhan Kong walked up to Jiang Han and teased him with a smile, "You brat, how well-done are you now? I can smell the aroma of meat. Can you just sprinkle some cumin on them and I can eat you?"
"Get lost! Can't you say something nice? I just said that and I helped you take care of over a hundred one-eyed demon wolves and one bone-spiked ferocious wolf. Instead of thanking me, you're in the mood to mock me." Jiang Han said, quite annoyed.
"Look how petty you are. It was just a joke, and you're getting angry." Zhan Kong said with a chuckle.
"Hey, I didn't expect Instructor Bai Yang to still be alive," Jiang Han said casually after noticing Bai Yang.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yang instantly became displeased and shouted, "Jiang Han, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean? If it weren't for your Black Vatican's meddling, would Bo City have suffered this disaster? Would I have been punished by heaven? Damn it, you still have the nerve to ask me what I mean? Do you really think I don't know your Black Vatican's identity?"
"What are you saying? This is slander! You know what slander is, right?" Bai Yang retorted in a panic.
"Whether you're framing someone or not, you know best," Jiang Han replied coldly.
Bai Yang continued to defend himself, saying, "Boss Zhan Kong, you can't believe Jiang Han's words. This kid might hold a grudge against me for what happened during the wilderness training, so he's framing me as a member of the Black Church. You have to believe me."
"Alright, kid, you should take a break. You're almost at the door, and you're still in the mood for jokes like this," Zhan Kong said with a chuckle.
Zhan Kong signaled the others to take Jiang Han away. Bai Yang was still their comrade-in-arms, and if they attacked Bai Yang because of Jiang Han's two words, what would the other Guardian Masters think of him? However, this also made Zhan Kong more wary of Bai Yang.
While Jiang Han was being taken away to receive treatment from the medic, the demons outside the Xuefeng Mountain post station began their attack. The one-eyed demon wolf that Jiang Han had just dealt with using the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning Punishment was only a part of the demon army.
The number of dark figures in the forest continued to gather, growing ever larger. Those pairs of scarlet eyes, like countless stars, adorned the hazy, brownish-yellow rain. The sheer number of these one-eyed demon wolves was enough to send chills down one's spine!
This is the Bloodstained Alert, a catastrophe powerful enough to destroy a city!
"All members of the first, second, and third patrol squads, go up the city wall and engage the one-eyed demon wolf." After Jiang Han went down, Zhan Kong began to deploy the next task. After the blood-red alert was issued, they needed to buy time for the people in the city to evacuate to Dao'an.
"Yes!!!!!" Hundreds of Dharma Masters roared in unison.
As soon as the defenses of Xuefeng Mountain Post Station were completed, hundreds upon hundreds of one-eyed demon wolves launched their charge. Facing the charging wolves, dozens of fire mages simultaneously unleashed fire spells to attack them. The leading one-eyed demon wolves suffered heavy casualties under the fierce attacks of the guard mages, but a small number still managed to break through the defenses and reach the city walls.
A one-eyed demon wolf dodged countless fires and ice vines and finally rushed onto the city wall of the post station. It stared at the stunned guard mages and stuck out its scarlet tongue, with even foul-smelling saliva dripping from its mouth.
"Fierce Fist!!!"
The squad leader, who reacted first, ignited a raging flame in his right hand and punched the one-eyed wolf that had charged up the city wall. The one-eyed wolf's fur instantly burst into flames upon being struck, and it fell from the wall in despair.
After taking down the one-eyed wolf, the other members of the team began to praise them.
"As expected of the captain, a mid-level mage, he's far beyond our reach."
"Yes, Fierce Fist is much stronger than Fire Blast. It took down the One-Eyed Demon Wolf with just one punch."
"If I had another two years, no, just one year, I could break through to the level of a mid-level mage and use the Fierce Fist."
After the squad leader dealt with the one-eyed wolf, he turned around and began to reprimand his team members, "You must remember, you can never let your guard down. Anyone can be killed at any moment..."
"Thunderbolt, Lightning, Crash to the Top!!!"
Dark clouds filled the sky, and a bolt of purplish-blue lightning struck the squad leader from behind, slamming into the Bone-Spiked Wolf that was about to ambush him. The Bone-Spiked Wolf, who had just finished off the squad leader, was blasted off the city wall by the sudden lightning strike.
The squad leader, realizing what had happened, was filled with lingering fear. If Jiang Han hadn't intervened in time, he would have been killed by the Bone-Spiked Wolf's claws.
"Young Brother Jiang Han, thank you so much for earlier," the squad leader said sincerely.
Jiang Han waved his hand and said, "I was just doing it on the side. We still need you guys here. I'll go find Boss Zhan Kong now."
"Well, Brother Jiang Han, you can go with peace of mind. Leave this to us. As long as we have a breath left, we will never let the demons set foot in Bo City."
"Yes, absolutely no demons will be allowed to set foot in Bo City!!!"
After leaving the city wall, Jiang Han went to the command room of the Xuefeng Mountain Post Station. Thanks to the treatment he received from the medics, his injuries were almost completely healed. (Medics: Most of them are healing mages, but there are also ordinary medical personnel.) Zhan Mingqing and Huo Yan, who treated Jiang Han, were both level three initial-stage healing mages, which was why Jiang Han was able to recover in such a short time.
As soon as I entered the command room, I heard a mage reporting to Zhan Kong on the situation inside Bo City.
"Report, Boss Zhan Kong, a large number of demons have appeared in Bo City. Bo City requests our military support."
"How is that possible? How could there be demons in the city? Our Snow Peak Mountain Post Station hasn't been breached yet, has it?" Zhan Kong asked, puzzled.
The mage said somewhat awkwardly, "Currently, the reason why demons appeared in Bo City has not yet been determined."
"No need to investigate further. The demons that appeared in the city likely entered through the tunnels dug by the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat. I worked for the city's demon-hunting team for a while. As for why the Giant-Eyed Blood Rat would dig tunnels, it's probably the work of the Black Vatican," Jiang Han said calmly.
After noticing Jiang Han's return, Zhan Kong asked, "Are you alright, kid?"
"Yes, he's mostly recovered. Before I came, I had Teacher Tang Yue and that old guy Mu Zhuoyun notify the Magic Association and the Hunter's Alliance respectively, so the situation in the city shouldn't be too serious."
"Okay, I understand. You'll leave with the Fifth Squad later to support Bo City," Zhan Kong said.
