Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

His delayed action allowed the wolf rider to call for backup. "I should have calculated my inexperience in combat."

SWOOSH!!!

The goblin soldier's body was pierced, turning into a gaping hole from Emily's spear. She then took out two submachine guns in her hands and started shooting in bursts toward the other goblins.

Brrrrrr!!!!!

Each shot used specialized bullets strengthened with mana.

It wasn't something Emily usually used since what they were doing now was basically burning money.

Even though Emily didn't have a problem with money, she always made sure each dungeon run was profitable. But this one was supplied by Alex, so she just used it without care.

The bullets pierced through the goblin bodies, turning them into sandbags.

Feeling the danger, they didn't even use their abilities; the goblins quickly tried to run.

Rumble... Rumble...

Emily turned her gaze toward the herd of wolves approaching.

With a sigh, she asked telepathically, "What now, big bro?"

Alex frowned, looking at the area map.

He could see they needed to beat hundreds of wolves to clear the area, and that's if the goblins didn't come back bringing reinforcements.

Alex looked toward the direction the goblins ran; he couldn't let them escape no matter what.

There was one goblin warrior left, with two goblin raiders.

"You hunt down the goblins; I will hold the wolves here."

"Fine, be careful, bro," Emily replied reluctantly.

She didn't like the idea of leaving Alex alone, but from a strategic viewpoint, they couldn't let the goblins warn the others.

Even normal goblins would start sending squads out to look for the invaders, not to mention goblins with a high level of intelligence.

They also didn't know how large the goblin settlement in the area was or how many High Goblins they would need to face in total.

Alex cracked his bones, looking at the approaching wolf horde.

"Alright, let's do this."

He raised his hand, and the Warhammer started growing in size.

BAM! With one hit, he smashed three wolf skulls.

Alex threw three Awe Cubes toward them without looking, hoping some would survive.

He started moving, boosting his movement strength with qi.

Alex still hadn't learned any secret techniques at this time, so he could only use qi to boost his movement.

He focused his qi toward his legs, then jumped high into the air.

With the distance now, Alex could really see all the wolves in his viewpoint; the number made adrenaline rush to his brain.

With a calculated target in mind, Alex took out a smoke grenade and threw it to the ground.

BAM!

The smoke exploded, but it wasn't normal smoke; it was special tear gas. Alex took a gas mask from his storage and wore it over his face.

The effect quickly became obvious; the wolf howlers, who usually used their sharp sense of smell to their advantage, now found it to be their burden instead.

Their noses turned runny, with tears coming out of their eyes. This made them disoriented and panic.

Alex, observing everything from the air, laughed inwardly. "Even wolves can cry."

He then used his mana to amplify the hammer's size and weight before letting it drop in the middle of the pack.

Gravity did its work, turning the hammer into a meteor.

BOOM!!! The ground vibrated, and dust and smoke billowed up, mixing with the tear gas.

Now falling back to the ground, Alex started utilizing qi to protect his body from the fall. He then took out a rifle and started shooting at the wolves.

Disoriented and panicked, the wolves started trying to run away from the area.

Alex began shooting quickly, knowing the effect would not last long.

After they recovered, the wolves would turn back with even more fervor. After all, they still overwhelmed him in numbers.

Even with all those attacks, Alex had barely killed 42 of them.

There were still 127 wolves left to kill, and his mana was dwindling. Every transformation of the hammer took a toll on his mana.

BAM!

Alex landed on the ground and took out the new Warhammer from MingYue, the Embershift Hammer.

He had never used it before, but Alex remembered MingYue telling him there was a beast's soul inside, but with Vesa, there should be no problem.

The moment he infused his qi, the weapon started to vibrate, and the roar of a fox could be heard in his mind.

A similar thing happened with MingYue; after Vesa subdued the soul, information poured into Alex's mind, telling him how to use the Warhammer.

His lips raised into a grin; he was curious about the secret skill embedded in the Embershift.

"Volcanic Smash."

Alex smashed the hammer to the ground, and from the point of impact, searing hot flames burst out, igniting the wolves around him in flame.

He took the hammer from the ground and pounced at the wolf howlers.

Having finished killing the goblins, Emily returned quickly to support her brother.

But as she got closer, she could smell burning flesh and wood in the air. The closer she got, the more she could feel the heat on her skin, making her use qi to protect it.

When she arrived, her lips twitched.

Her brother didn't look like one who needed help; he was running around with a grin on his face, pouncing on the wolf monsters, if they could still be called that.

Half of their fur was burned down, showing the scorched skin underneath.

In Alex's defense, he didn't do it on purpose.

He was experimenting with qi usage, wanting to know how much flame could be ignited since the Volcanic Smash result surprised him.

All the wolves around him were burned to a crisp.

BANG!

Emily took out her submachine gun, shooting the wolf Alex pursued to death.

"Stop messing around, bro. See, the flame is starting to burn the forest.

The High Goblin Lord will quickly send someone to investigate."

Alex stopped in his steps and looked around, realizing the trees had been burned.
