In the dense forest, there were many trees, making the terrain inconvenient for the massive Earth Azure Dragon.
However, for the Shadow Demon Wolves, this terrain was the perfect hunting ground.
To prevent the Earth Azure Dragon from fighting at a disadvantage and for her own safety, Huo Xian’er’s decision was the right one.
Otherwise, with just these thirty or so Shadow Demon Wolves, they could easily wear down the Earth Azure Dragon to death.
These Shadow Demon Wolves were not of low level, most of them were above First Rank, Fifth Level.
For First Rank demons, a difference of one or two levels wasn’t significant.
Therefore, the large number of Shadow Demon Wolves posed a great threat.
Unless someone like Ye Ling found a place easy to defend and hard to attack, or found an open area where the Earth Azure Dragon could fully exert its strength.
The Earth Azure Dragon had been running at full speed for a long time, but for a creature not adept at speed, it was indeed difficult.
That’s why the Shadow Demon Wolves behind them had all caught up by now.
“Huff! Huff!…”
Huo Xian’er could even hear her Earth Azure Dragon panting heavily.
For the large and heavy Earth Azure Dragon, such intense running was indeed challenging.
Looking around, she couldn’t find any open area.
Huo Xian’er bit her lip and looked helplessly at the approaching Shadow Demon Wolves behind her.
She gently patted the Earth Azure Dragon’s back and softly said, “Alright, stop here.”
Even if they didn’t stop now, they would be caught soon.
If they continued running, it would only exhaust the Earth Azure Dragon further.
It was better to conserve some energy to face the Shadow Demon Wolves’ attack.
Facing the suddenly halted Earth Azure Dragon, the Shadow Demon Wolves quickly surrounded Huo Xian’er again.
Each Shadow Demon Wolf had saliva dripping from their teeth.
Their ghostly green eyes stared intently at Huo Xian’er and the Earth Azure Dragon.
In their eyes, these two were already their food.
“Since we can’t escape, we have to fight. I refuse to believe I can’t pass even the first stage of the test.”
Huo Xian’er was not one to give up easily.
Though a woman, as the daughter of the Huo family head, Huo Xian’er had her pride.
Facing the numerous Shadow Demon Wolves, Huo Xian’er decided to confront them head-on.
“Earth Azure Dragon, Roar of Dominance!”
Huo Xian’er patted the Earth Azure Dragon beneath her and coldly commanded.
Receiving the order, the Earth Azure Dragon nodded slightly.
Its eyes, like amber stones, suddenly widened.
Then, the Earth Azure Dragon opened its massive mouth and let out a deafening roar.
A wave of sound spread in all directions.
The ground trembled, and trees collapsed.
One could see how powerful the Earth Azure Dragon’s roar was.
The Shadow Demon Wolves surrounding Huo Xian’er retreated in fear under the immense sound wave and pressure.
Their ghostly green eyes showed a hint of terror.
This was the suppression of a higher-ranked demon over lower-ranked ones.
If the Earth Azure Dragon were strong enough, it could even kill these demons with just its roar.
“Awooo!”
Except for the Shadow Demon Wolf leader, the surrounding Shadow Demon Wolves hesitated.
Should they continue attacking their target?
“Awooo~!”
Seeing its subordinates wanting to retreat, the Shadow Demon Wolf leader let out a roar.
It seemed very dissatisfied with its cowardly subordinates.
With their leader’s roar, all the Shadow Demon Wolves had no choice but to continue surrounding them.
“Damn it! Demons with leaders are always so troublesome.”
Huo Xian’er frowned.
If it weren’t for this leader, she would have already escaped.
The encirclement grew tighter, and Huo Xian’er’s situation became more dangerous.
“Awooo!”
The first Shadow Demon Wolf finally launched its attack.
However, the ever-alert Earth Azure Dragon was not unprepared.
It turned around and swept its thick tail, smashing it heavily into the Shadow Demon Wolf.
“Awooo!”
The Shadow Demon Wolf howled in pain and flew out quickly.
“Thud!”
It crashed into a tree trunk and fell to the ground, motionless.
Whether it was dead or alive, no one knew.
The other Shadow Demon Wolves, instead of being deterred, seemed stimulated and attacked simultaneously.
The Shadow Demon Wolf leader also didn’t sit idly by and attacked at the first opportunity.
At this moment, Ye Ling, who had been resting on a tree branch, was suddenly awakened by a shake.
It seemed something had hit the tree, causing the trunk to shake.
Waking up from his sleep, Ye Ling rubbed his eyes.
Beside him, Blood Phantom stood quietly, showing no intention of moving.
Without Ye Ling’s command, Blood Phantom wouldn’t act on her own.
“What’s going on below? Who’s the unlucky one getting surrounded now?”
From the high tree branch, Ye Ling looked down, but it was too dark to see clearly.
However, he could tell that a battle was happening below.
