Mo Fan heard footsteps approaching from behind while he was counting the number of Carnage Poisonous Salamanders.

“Master, master, we are going to die for sure. A bunch of Carnage Poisonous Salamanders has shown up. My God!” Zhong Li was jumping up and down like a panicking hare.

Zhong Li had rarely seen Commander-level creatures in his life. A Carnage Poisonous Salamander had become a nightmare for him and his master. He never imagined seeing a whole group of Commander-level creatures. It felt like he had nowhere to set his foot on!

“Calm down, calm down now!” Mo Fan said casually.

“How am I supposed to calm down? I don’t have a son yet. I don’t have anyone to carry on my ancestral line!” Zhong Li exclaimed.

“Master, we should retreat for now. We can still make it if we leave now. I believe the Great Salamander Demon isn’t that strong, but these Carnage Poisonous Salamanders are quite deadly. We can think of another way so we won’t need to provoke so many Commander-level creatures at once,” Wang Zhouming advised him.

The truth was, Wang Zhouming was feeling a little scared too. Their Hunter Group was able to fight a few Commander-level creatures at a time, assuming they did not make a lot of mistakes while they were working together. However, there was no chance they were going to survive against more than twenty Carnage Poisonous Salamanders!

“The Great Salamander Demon is always hiding at the bottom of the lake, surrounded by its army of Salamander Demons. There’s no way we can kill it while it’s hiding in the lake. If I get to choose, I’ll get rid of it when it’s on land. Wang Zhouming, you will bring your men and sneak into the cave when I engage those Carnage Poisonous Salamanders. Don’t let the Great Salamander Demon retreat into the water. I’ll handle it once I’m done with these Carnage Poisonous Salamanders!”

Wang Zhouming and Zhong Li’s eyes widened when they heard Mo Fan’s plans.

Why did the master sound like he was only drinking a bowl of soup? These were a bunch of savage Commander-level creatures. Did he really think he could take them all on alone?

“Master, we should be more pragmatic…” Wang Zhouming said softly.

“I didn’t ask you to fight the Carnage Poisonous Salamanders. Stop wasting time and do as I say. If you let the Great Salamander Demon escape, I’ll break your bones and stick you into the Salamander Demons’ shells!” Mo Fan berated them coldly.

Wang Zhouming and Zhong Li had pale faces, but they had no choice but to accept the plan.

Luckily, their job was to sneak into the cave and stop the Great Salamander Demon from running away. They did not have to face the Carnage Poisonous Salamanders head-on!

Wang Zhouming led his team to a relatively safe spot. Zhong Li was crouching on the side. He whispered to Wang Zhouming, “Brother Wang, I’ll plan our escape path. Let’s retreat when the master is dead.”

Wang Zhouming nodded and said, “Brother Zhong Li, even though you are weak, you are good at sizing up the situation. I’m proud of you.”

The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was still dizzy, sleeping soundly in the Summoned Beast Plane. Mo Fan could not rely on him for the battle. The numbers of the Carnage Poisonous Salamanders had exceeded Mo Fan’s expectations. If a Super Mage without any special abilities was flanked by these starving Carnage Poisonous Salamanders, not even their bones would be left!

“There are fifteen of them climbing out of the water, and another seven in the cave,” Apas reported.

“How many of them can you take on?” Mo Fan asked.

“I don’t know how to fight,” Apas said bluntly.

“Don’t be so modest. How about this, I’ll take on the seven in the cave and leave the rest to you. Show me your courage as a Medusa, don’t let these lowly creatures strut around in front of your sacred bloodline,” Mo Fan said.

“Are you retarded?”

“Mind your words to your master. I’m warning you!” Mo Fan shot back.

“Ling~” Little Flame Belle came out of the Contracted Space on her own, as if she had smelled the scent of an approaching battle. She landed on Mo Fan’s shoulder, clenching her fist with a determined gaze, indicating that she was ready for the battle!

“Alright, I’ll let you roast those five creatures over there!” Mo Fan nodded.

Little Flame Belle volunteered to take on five Carnage Poisonous Salamanders. These creatures were not too strong for the Commander-level. Their strength was below average, thus Little Flame Belle would have no trouble fighting five of them at the same time.

Luckily, these Carnage Poisonous Salamanders’ main Element was Poison. If it was Water, Little Flame Belle might have struggled against them!.

“When can you be diligent and obedient like Little Flame Belle?” Mo Fan said to Apas.

“Are you done? I told you I’m not good at fighting,” Apas grumbled impatiently.

“I’ll Summon my wolves later. I’ll let you command them. Make sure there aren’t any casualties!” Mo Fan decided.

“Mmm.” Apas was more satisfied with the new arrangement, yet she was still uncomfortable. Mo Fan had completely treated her as his fighting pet!

She was a noble Medusa, the third-in-line for the Queen Medusa’s throne. Why did she have to follow this perverted man around to do his dirty jobs? She sighed in despair, thinking that she could only blame herself!

“Dimensional Summoning: Beast Tide!”

Lunar-white Star Patterns appeared in the surroundings. The Star Orbits rapidly formed seven brilliant Star Patterns, constructing a Star Constellation.

The Star Constellation unleashed its energy, opening a huge gate connected to the Summoned Beast Plane. It stood firmly there in the damp woods on the Cave Island.

The dimensional gate was higher than the canopy. Its light immediately attracted the Carnage Poisonous Salamanders’ attention. The red creatures were incredibly slow in their reactions. They only now realized there were humans hiding on their island!

A fleshy Carnage Poisonous Salamander let out a roar. Its body was incredibly bloated, especially its belly, and its short and muscular limbs were struggling to support its weight. Its belly was moving along the ground like a bulldozer, smashing the rocks and the boulders in its way into pieces!

The Carnage Poisonous Salamanders considered flesh beautiful. The fleshiest Carnage Poisonous Salamanders had a higher status among them. Eight Carnage Poisonous Salamanders soon reached the dimensional gate that Mo Fan had established.

The Carnage Poisonous Salamanders were savage and ruthless. Mo Fan initially had some woods as cover nearby, but when the eight Carnage Poisonous Salamanders showed up, they simply razed the trees to the ground. The dense woods were like a small patch of grass to the Commander-level creatures!

Mo Fan was soon surrounded by the Carnage Poisonous Salamanders. Meanwhile, Wang Zhouming and Zhong Li were in the cave, preparing for their escape. However, they were still waiting out of the virtue of their profession. They wanted to witness Mo Fan’s death… if the employer was dead, the contract would be terminated!

“Come out here and destroy these shameless female salamanders!” Mo Fan yelled, standing in front of the dimensional gate.

Excited cries came from inside the dimensional gate. The Moon-Devouring White Wolves were rather huge, the kind of wolf that could walk on two feet. They had to slightly lower their heads to squeeze their way out of the gate!

When the Enormous White Wolves evolved into the Moon-Devouring White Wolves, their bodies no longer had explosive muscles. The Moon-Devouring White Wolves’ muscles had distinctive lines, as if they were professional bodybuilders. The bones of their limbs, necks, and backs were perfectly symmetrical, granting them a balance between strength and speed…

Their back limbs were more developed and stronger. They had more ways to attack and were more aggressive after they no longer had to rely on their front limbs to move around. Mo Fan was satisfied with what the Enormous White Wolves had become. He knew that giving the Soul Essences to them was the right choice!

The Moon-Devouring White Wolves were extremely impatient. Their eyes glittered as soon as they left the dimensional gate. They could not move their gazes away from the Carnage Poisonous Salamanders!

Big Wolf pounced at the fleshiest Carnage Poisonous Salamander without waiting for Mo Fan and Apas’ order. Big Wolf was the rough yet observant kind. Mo Fan recalled the scene of him blocking the tunnel with his body to protect the team from the Underworld Warriors in the Pyramid.

Big Wolf was only an Enormous White Wolf back then. He seemed to have realized that sticking with Mo Fan was going to guarantee him a bright future after he evolved into a Moon-Devouring White Wolf. Therefore, he was always the most diligent one whenever he had a chance to be on duty!

“Big Wolf, that one belongs to Little Flame Belle. There’s a fleshier one that way. Go get her!” Mo Fan quickly stopped Big Wolf.

Big Wolf put on emergency brakes and skidded a certain distance across the woods from momentum.

His heart skipped a beat when he realized Little Flame Belle was already fighting the creatures!

Little Flame Belle was their little ancestor. They would not dare to provoke her even the slightest. Big Wolf immediately locked his gaze on a fat Carnage Poisonous Salamander after the friendly reminder from Mo Fan!

The Moon-Devouring White Wolves would normally sprint with all four limbs. Their powerful back limbs allowed them to sprint between the trees. Big Wolf leapt over a few skinny Carnage Poisonous Salamanders at the front and pounced at the fleshy Carnage Poisonous Salamander behind them!

The fleshy Carnage Poisonous Salamander was terrified. Where did this reckless Commander-level wolf come from? Why did it have to target her when there were so many other Carnage Poisonous Salamanders around?

The big and fat Carnage Poisonous Salamander turned out to be the big sister among the Carnage Poisonous Salamanders. She quickly summoned two skinny Carnage Poisonous Salamanders to her aid to keep Big Wolf busy!
