Chapter 48: Bo City Disaster (Part 2)

As Qin Chen rode his little Tianju forward, a six-meter-tall stone giant suddenly emerged from the ground behind the pack of demon wolves. The remaining five one-eyed demon wolves seemed like mere puppies in the eyes of the stone giant.

The stone giant grabbed one of the one-eyed demon wolves running towards the crowd and smashed it to the ground, creating two pits in the earth. The two one-eyed demon wolves were killed instantly.

This stone giant was Qin Chen's contracted beast, the Rock Emperor. The Rock Emperor possessed the abilities of burrowing and adjusting its body size. It could hide in the ground to ambush enemies and normally remain in a smaller form of one and a half meters tall to stay by Qin Chen's side. However, its true size was six meters tall.

«Roar!»

At this moment, Qin Chen had already approached the remaining three one-eyed demon wolves. Little Tianju suddenly accelerated, darting between two of the one-eyed demon wolves.

Simultaneously, the purple and blue wings on Little Tianju's back unfurled. One wing was accompanied by a sharp hurricane, and the other by fierce lightning. The wings turned into deadly weapons, slicing through the bodies of the two one-eyed demon wolves. In an instant, their bodies were cut as easily as tofu, and they died immediately!

«Kill!»

Qin Chen, riding on Little Tianju, charged at the last one-eyed demon wolf. He threw his magic wand sword like a spear. Over the past year, he had been training his body under extreme gravity, enduring inhuman tortures. His strength had increased from one time normal gravity to eight times. His power was now comparable to that of a warrior-level demon!

Although he did not use his full strength, the magic wand sword flew at incredible speed. The one-eyed demon wolf had no chance to dodge and was pierced through the eye into its brain. It fell to the ground within two seconds, leaving the magic wand sword embedded in its head.

As Little Tianju ran past the fallen demon wolf, Qin Chen bent down and pulled out his magic wand sword. Although the sword had pierced through the demon wolf's brain, no blood stained it. It remained as clear and pristine as if it had never been used.

Those who had been too terrified to move looked at Qin Chen as if he were a hero. The fearsome demon wolves that had terrified them were now slain by this young man! They had survived!

«It's safe now. Hurry to the safe zone.»

Qin Chen, riding the white horse, returned to the frightened people, dismounted, and helped a thirteen-year-old boy to his feet.

«Big brother, are you a mage? Are the demon wolves really dead?»

The young boy's heart was still pounding with fear. Seeing Qin Chen, who had effortlessly killed the demon wolves, he felt as if he were dreaming and hadn't yet woken up.

«I am indeed a mage, and the demon wolves are truly dead. Go to the safe zone quickly. As a boy, you must not freeze in fear next time you see a demon. A real man must stand tall!»

Qin Chen smiled and patted the boy's head before turning to leave. This was only the first group of people; there were more who needed his help. He couldn't stay here long.

«Big brother, my name is Zhao Rufeng. What's your name?» the boy asked loudly as the hero was about to leave.

«Qin Chen.»

For some reason, Qin Chen revealed his name. Normally, he wouldn't leave his name, but when the boy asked, he instinctively responded. It was a strange feeling, but he didn't have time to dwell on it. He quickly mounted Little Tianju and, along with the Rock Emperor, went to assist another group heading to the safe zone.

«Big brother Qin Chen, I will remember your words. A man should not freeze in fear. I will study hard, awaken my magic, and become a powerful mage like you!»

At that moment, the boy who had once frozen in fear of the demon wolves, Zhao Rufeng, transformed completely. He became diligent and kind-hearted, his inner strength growing. One day, when Qin Chen would meet him again, he would be astonished by the boy's growth and the unpredictable changes of the world.

When the first group of people arrived at the safe zone, Fang Lijun from the military immediately came to understand the situation. Under the red alert, they had lost contact with the city and knew nothing of its condition. This group of people was their best source of information.

«Hello, we're from the military. We need to understand the current situation in Bo City. Can you provide us with some details?» Fang Lijun asked the group directly.

«There are constantly demon wolves appearing in the city. If we hadn't escaped quickly, we would have been eaten.»

«We were close to the safe zone, so we don't know much about the city's condition. But I know there are demon wolves around the city, constantly invading.»

«There are also demon wolves near the safe zone. We encountered ten wolf-type demon wolves on our way here. If it weren't for a mage on a white horse who killed them, many of us wouldn't have made it here.»

After a series of inquiries, Fang Lijun gathered some information. There were many demon wolves constantly pouring into the city, and many outside as well. Some were ambushing those heading to the safe zone.

«Does anyone know the name of the mage on the white horse?» Fang Lijun asked curiously. She had no knowledge of such a mage in Bo City, someone capable of easily killing ten servant-level demon wolves. That person must at least be a mid-level mage.

«His name is Qin Chen. He is a hero!»

At this moment, the young boy Zhao Rufeng stepped forward and shouted. In his eyes, Qin Chen had saved everyone, including him, making him a hero.

«Yes, he is a hero. Without him, we wouldn't be here!»

Many of those saved by Qin Chen remembered his name.

«Qin Chen? This name is unfamiliar. Let's note it down and report it to Chief Zhang Kong.»

Fang Lijun carefully recalled and confirmed that she did not know this name. She stopped thinking about it as there were more pressing matters to attend to.
