The Legendary Man Chapter 708-Meanwhile, there was a werewolf on the surface of the frozen river, and it was sniffing vigorously to track Kathleen and the others down.
Right then, the werewolf heard the sounds that resembled guitar strings breaking on the ice in the distance.
When it realized that the sounds were getting closer by the second, it saw a crack the size of a thumb spreading across the icy surface.
Lowering its head, it then saw the crack spreading past under its feet.
All of a sudden, the sound of an explosion rang out in front of it.
The werewolf immediately turned forward and saw two figures breaking through the icy surface dozens of meters ahead. After that, it saw two figures propelling toward the sky.
Meanwhile, Kathleen was frowning because she had exuded her spiritual sense to a radius of fifty meters away the moment she broke through the ice surface.
She instantly noticed there were three werewolves in the area, and they were still hunting her down.
Upon getting out of the frozen river, she unhesitatingly kept her handkerchief and dashed in the direction she came from. Charleigh’s army had been chasing after us from the south. Although Chanaea is in the south, I might actually run into a whole army of werewolves if I were to head in that direction. I have a better chance of making an escape by running toward the north.
At that moment, Kathleen couldn’t afford to care about anything else. She used spiritual energy to drag Layla and Killian along while she charged forward.
On the frozen river, there were approximately ten werewolves present a hundred meters around Kathleen.
When they saw Kathleen escaping with the others, those werewolves quickly lifted their heads and howled.
Following those howling, Kathleen heard continuous howling coming from the mountains on the other side of the river behind her. Judging by the sound, there were possibly hundreds of them right behind.
“I knew it! You guys are all there!” Kathleen ate a Spirit Rejuvenating Pill before raising her hand and grabbing onto a werewolf that jumped on her. She then tossed the werewolf backward and jumped into the forest. In there, she started a raging fire.
Remdik was sparsely populated, so those uninhabited areas deep inside the mountains had never been taken care of. With gigantic trees everywhere, the fire burnt fiercely.
Although the fire couldn’t do much, it could definitely force the werewolves to go around the fire. Hence, Kathleen could at least buy herself some time.
As she moved, she continued setting the forest on fire. Needless to say, those trees went up in flames with little effort. After that, she used her fan to fan out a gust of wind.
Indeed, that was the most efficient way of increasing the intensity of the fire.
Meanwhile, werewolves could be seen running on all four of their legs to chase after Kathleen.
Kathleen couldn’t help but feel goosebumps all over her skin when she stood on top of the mountain and saw those werewolves. There are literally hundreds of them coming my way. Since there are so many of them, it’s safe to assume that Stellario and Winston are very unlikely to still be alive.
A grim expression appeared on Kathleen’s face when she turned to look at Layla and Killian.
Moments later, she took out a jade bottle and lightly tapped the bottom of the bottle to release a white cloud of mist.
“Charge!” Kathleen used her fan to fan the cloud of mist downward. By the time it had spread ten steps away, it turned into a fog with a width of tens of meters, and it kept expanding.
A werewolf ran past the side of the mist, and it became slightly contaminated. However, its eyes quickly reddened after it had just taken a few more steps forward.
“Ow!”
The werewolf howled before running straight into an old tree.
Upon impact, the werewolf started coughing out blood.
Yet, it seemed as though it was unaware of what was going on and knocked into the tree violently once again.
At the same time, another werewolf ran past the mist, and by the time it reappeared on the other side of the mist, its target became the other werewolf that had been running into the tree.
The white powdery substance was the extract of the failed Breakthrough Pill that Kathleen had spent a lot of money to acquire.
Breakthrough Pills could force cultivators to improve their cultivation levels at a critical moment.
Although the pill was extremely powerful, it also had an extremely low success rate.
Besides, there were only three people who specialized in it.
As for the failed products, they were extremely poisonous.
Not only could it not help increase spiritual energy and cultivation level in a short period of time, but it could make a person go crazy due to the unstable drug effect.
Kathleen had been collecting them for the rainy days. Little did she expect that she would be using those pills at that moment. That cloud of mist is worth hundreds of millions. It’s such a shame I won’t be able to observe the changes in the werewolves up close and personal. However, it can definitely slow them down, so it’s worth it. What I didn’t expect is that this might end up wiping out Charleigh’s army!
With that in mind, Kathleen continued dashing into the distance.
On the frozen river behind, Charleigh and the werewolves were still chasing after Kathleen.
There were werewolves all over the mountains, and as they were rushing into the fire, they were all howling ferociously.
By then, the powder of the Breakthrough Pill that Kathleen had released was scattered all over the area with the help of the wind.
When Charleigh saw the werewolves howling as they were running up the mountain, he realized something was amiss.
As an Archmage, he was obviously not worried about the fire.
However, he could feel that every time he took a breath, the magic power in his body seemed to be uncontrollable and became extremely violent.
Charleigh immediately jumped in alarm and waved his wand in the air to create a barrier around his body.
Although he could do that to protect himself, the same couldn’t be said about the werewolves.
In fact, the werewolves weren’t even capable of reasoning.
When Charleigh altered the werewolves’ genetics, he allowed those Superior Realm cultivators to transform into werewolves with Grandmaster Realm ability.
However, the catch was that those werewolves would lose their rationality.
In other words, Charleigh’s army was purely a weapon he created.
Besides, when Charleigh was introducing some alterations, he even programmed them to only take orders from him.
Remdik’s unique martial art, magical contracts, and the genetic intervention of science and technology were the three different cultivation methods that allowed Charleigh to create that army of his.
However, it also became an Achilles’ heel for Charleigh’s army.
Upon deploying his army, he ordered the werewolves to hunt Kathleen down.
Since they had already found Kathleen, the werewolves seemed to have gone berserk as they rushed up the mountain.
By the time Charleigh noticed the weird thing about the fire, more than half of his werewolves had already rushed into the range of the failed Breakthrough Pill.
In the distance, the stimulated werewolves had started killing each other against the backdrop of the flames in the middle of the mountain.
