A white pickup truck that was turning grey was climbing up the Snowy Peak Mountain station.

Just as it entered the station, torrential rain suddenly began to pour down. In an instant, the entire mountain range was enveloped by the continuous rain. An orange mist emerged on mountain peaks in the distance.

“The goods were almost ruined. Fortunately, I got here just in time.” Mo Jiaxing jumped out from the truck as he looked at rain outside with a lingering fear.

“How can the rain have colours on it? Strange!” a few veterans in the station remarked.

“Yeah, it looks like the colour of urine, hahaha!” another Hunter laughed.

Mo Jiaxing passed by them as he greeted some of the familiar faces with a smile. As he heard the people discussing how the rain was weird, he couldn’t help but look at the sky that was covered by a curtain of rain.

Either way, this rain really was strange…

…

Three days later…

Forty Kilometres away from the city in northern region was a Small military station with two hundred Battle-mages.

The station was normal, the man guarding the northern checkpoint was a direct subordinate of Zhankong, Wan Duanfeng.

Wan Duanfeng was the Army Captain of a regiment with a thousand people, an Intermediate Earth Mage. In terms of guarding Bo City, there was no one who was more remarkable than him.

Wan Duanfeng wore a conjoined leather raincoat, he stood in the middle of the rain with a dignified and solemn bearing.

His gaze was attentively watching the forest that was drenched by the large rain. Suddenly, a light ball flew out from the back of the mountain hill as it broke through the yellow rain. In the dark skies, it let out a weak light.

“Brilliant Light?” Wan Duanfeng widened his eyes, and his expression immediately sank.

Brilliant Light was the Basic spell of Light Mages. The purpose of Light Mages within the Army were very important, as they are able to transmit messages and locations.

This Brilliant Light was similar to a primitive signal bullet. Monsters had no perception toward this kind of light, and if they were to watch it, it could easily cause blinding harm to their eyes.

If the soldiers were to use any other technological equipment to transmit messages, it’d be like sending the surrounding Monsters their GPS location. This kind of Brilliant Light had became a strategy to expel Monsters and transmit signals.

“Commander Wan, that… that is a warning signal, why is group three sending a signal to us? Could it be that a Monster is escaping?” a Battlemage to the side asked.

As he finished speaking, yet another Brilliant Light cut through the rain from afar, once again turning increasingly bright.

At this moment, all the Battlemages standing guard at the checkpoint were startled.

Two Brilliant Lights!

A Yellow Alert?

…

The Alerts were divided into seven different levels.

White: Safe Zone.

Green: Monsters are rarely seen.

Yellow: Monsters are frequently seen and hunt in groups.

Orange: Dangerous Monster Infested areas.

Crimson: Monster population are innumerable.

Purple: Monster kingdoms, can slaughter innumerable strong mages.

Black: Monster Empires, Forbidden Zones, Dead Zones.

Four years ago, Bo City had set off an Yellow Alert. Back then, there was precisely a Brilliant Light radiating from the back of the mountain. At that time, there were at least three hundred Monster scattered in the vicinity of the safety boundaries!

Today, two staggered Brilliant Lights were seen, this meant an Orange Alert.

Once this Alert went off, it signified there were hidden threats and a crisis in the city.

The Yellow Alert was quickly solved by Boss Zhankong back then. However, with the appearance of an Orange Alert today, it meant that there were at least a few thousand Monsters roaming the vicinity of the safety boundaries!

Heavens, Bo City hadn’t sounded off an Orange Alert for the last ten years!

_Static Noise!_

A Static sound arose.

Just when everyone thought this was a joke, the Walkie Talkie on Wan Duanfeng’s shoulder began ringing.

The rain poured down onto the faces of the hundreds of Battlemages, revealing stunned expressions. With the exception of the sounds of rain and Captain Wan Duanfeng’s Walkie Talkie’s Static noise, the surroundings were very silent.

Wan Duanfeng pressed the receive button, beneath the drifting rain and put it to his mouth. “Hello.”

“Captain Wan… we were attacked by a group of beasts, our Light Mage…The Light Mage died, we are unable to continue firing off the Brilliant Lights.” The voice of Squad Leader Zhou Jin was coming over the phone.

Wan Duanfeng felt a chill run through his body, the hand that was holding the phone began to tremble.

“If Bo City is able to survive this disaster, please apologize to Boss Zhankong, and apologize to Pan Lijun.” Zhou Jin’s voice was gloomy and hoarse, carrying reluctance.

Wan Duanfeng’s face was fiercely twitching, his eyes carried a deep sorrow and anger.

_Static Noise!_

After saying this, he hung up the Walkie Talkie. In the process of the call, Wan Duanfeng was able to hear clamorous roars. The roars sounded as if they were right next to his ears, his heart was palpitating.

Wan Duanfeng put down the Walkie Talkie in his hand with a despairing soul. He tightly closed his eyes, the pouring rain paining him, and it seemed even more swords were stabbing into his heart.

Wan Duanfeng was still able to imagine the next second when the Squad Leader Zhou Jin let out a grieving shriek.

He was dead, he was definitely dead. There was no one who was more clear about that than Wan Duanfeng; a person who was using the Walkie Talkie in that situation was definitely not capable of surviving!

“Sound off the… Crimson Alert!” Wan Duanfeng took a deep breath. His eyes no longer had traces of sadness, it was replaced by the resolve of a soldier’s hard work.

“Crim… Crimson Alert?? You’re not joking with us are you, Captain Wan?!” The Battlemage at his post had a disbelief on his face.

Beneath the curtain of rains, the Battlemages guarding their posts were all dumbstruck. For them, the Orange Alert was already causing turmoil. As for a Crimson Alert…

That was a calamity!

The Crimson Alert was the most dreadful calamity. Some people could live their entire lives without seeing a Crimson Alert, whereas those who had experienced a Crimson Alert might not be able to step out of that shadow for the rest of their lives!

“What are you being distracted for, hurry up and do what I told you to do!” Wan Duanfeng practically roared.

These blockheads. Delaying the sounding of Crimson Alert by even a second could cause the death of hundreds of people!

_Awuuuuuu!_

_Awuuu! Awuuu!_

_Roar!_

Suddenly, a series of roars that shook people’s hearts came from the back of the mountain. It was as though the back of the mountain had series of lightning bolts hitting it, making the entire mountain tremble.

The aftermath of the trembling reached the station, the giant stone barrier in the station also wavered slightly.

_Awuuuuuuuuu!_

In the vast curtain of rain, a fuzzy figure suddenly jumped out. He emerged on top of an stately pine tree’s utmost summit.

Beneath the rain, the proud and aloof creature that resembled a King clearly had the body of a Wolf, yet it was arching its back as it stood there. The three eyes on his fierce skull let out an incomparably vicious red light.

The Monster was overlooking this checkpoint station of the human city from afar. It was… It was like it was looking at penned-up sheep.

“Three… Three-eyed… Three-eyed Magic Wolf!!” a young Battlemage to the side shouted with a trembling voice.

As he said this, the Three-eyed Magic Wolf that was proudly standing on top of the pine tree suddenly had shadows scuttling forth behind it. Those shadows occupied the tall trees as they gathered around the Three-eyed Magic Wolf like it was a military officer.

More and more of the shadows appeared. Their red and savage eyes were like stars decorating the dim rain. One glance caused the men’s entire bodies to feel a chill, and their scalps went numb!

“This… this many!”

Multiple packs of One-eyed Magic Wolves began to appear on the hill. They simultaneously raised their heads as they howled toward the sky that was raining down. The entire mountain was covered by their voices.

“They’re calling, they’re continuously calling for their comrades!” A Summoner who had done research into the Beast Language stated, his face completely stunned.

Heavens, that place already had over three hundred One-eyed Magic Wolves. With that many One-eyed Magic Wolves calling out at same time, just how many more Monsters were they calling for?!

At this moment, the Battlemages who guarded the station finally understood why they sounded off the Crimson Alert!

The Monsters were attacking!

Multiple packs of Monsters were attacking!

This was a calamity, an unforeseen calamity!

A heavy rain, followed by hundreds and thousands of Monsters who were frantically rushing in!

Bo City had been fighting with the Magic Wolves for many years. It was like the Magic Wolves were no longer able to suppress the thirst in their hearts! They were gathering beneath the commands of higher level Magic Wolves before they frantically attacked the defence line of Bo City!

A dark green tide covered the mountain, formed by numerous One-eyed Magic Wolves.

They were frantically running and howling. The small Snowy Peak Mountain station trembled fiercely.

The eyes of the numerous Magic Wolves were filled with hatred and cruelty toward the humans waiting beneath the heavy rain. They planned on eating all the living people!

Beneath this kind of frightening sound, even the Mages seemed incredibly small. At this moment, they were coming to fight off the Monsters!

For many of the Battlemages, they would never forget the scene of groups of One-eyed Magic Wolves racing over… ah, it was unlikely that they would forget it, because there wouldn’t be many who would necessarily survive the day!
