The vehicle was driving in thick fog, surrounded by shadowy dead tree limbs.
The road surface is covered with gravel and dust, and it is obvious that no vehicles or pedestrians have passed here for a long time. The surroundings are quiet, except for the roar of the engine and the sound of wheels rolling on the gravel, and there are only the occasional chirping of insects and birds.
Alice looked around through the car window and sounded uneasy: "The atmosphere is so depressing... It feels like a scene that often appears in horror movies."
"That's because most of the scenes in similar movies were taken from the swamps of the world, so of course they look familiar." Jesse, a former actor, explained.
Heather was driving the Thunderbolt, and Tifa was holding his waist and sitting in the back seat. Neither [Seeing Color] nor [Yuan] noticed any suspicious sounds or breaths.
It didn’t matter that the demonic wolf was highly vigilant, but why didn’t even the Midgar Python launch a sneak attack? Is this still a worldly swamp known for its dangers? Heather felt like her group was on a spring outing.
The strange sense of voyeurism at first disappeared. Except for the thick fog and unpleasant smell, the earthly swamp seemed like a paradise without any competition from the world.
After driving for about twenty minutes, the surrounding fog gradually dissipated, and the muddy swamps on both sides of the road gradually turned into solid rocky ground.
"You just came here like this? Is this really the worldly swamp that is said to be inhabited by the Midgar Python?" Jesse looked unbelievable. She had heard many terrible rumors about the worldly swamp in the theater troupe.
Barrett crossed his arms and nodded seriously: "It seems that those Midgar pythons are also afraid of our avalanche! Hmm!"
"No, someone took the first step and solved these troubles for us."
As he spoke, Heather pointed forward.
Beside the road ahead are solid rocky mountains, with many giant dead trees standing around them. On the tall and huge dead branches, hanging upside down are many weird giant pythons with unusually large bodies. This kind of giant python has a long head on its head. It has a deformed single horn, and the structure of its mouth is different from that of ordinary pythons. From a distance, you can see dense white sharp teeth, and the scales on its body are said to be difficult for even bullets to penetrate.
But even such a powerful giant python has deep knife marks on its body that almost cut it off, and its smelly blood dyes the earth and dead trees red. These giant pythons are either hanging upside down in the trees, or they are chopped into several pieces and scattered on the ground. This dry forest was rendered into a blood-red corpse snake forest.
Ale screamed in fright, and Old Bill covered her eyes, his beard trembling continuously.
Yuffie and Alice on Heather's side also looked pale, because the scene in front of them was too shocking.
"This kind of stab wound... belongs to Sephiroth!" Cloud said with certainty. Apart from Heather and Sephiroth, no one else in the world could deliver such a terrifying blow.
Heather made a brief estimate: "About fifteen Midgar pythons were killed here, and the largest one was forty-two meters long. It seems that this level of monsters can no longer stop Sephiroth's pace. .But it’s good, at least it’s confirmed that our route is consistent with his.”
"Indeed, just continue pursuing this route." Claude nodded.
At this moment, Heather suddenly raised her hand to signal everyone to stop: "Well... I have found the goal of this trip."
Following his gaze, everyone discovered that there were black shadows shaking next to the giant python corpses, and countless green light spots shaking. Then a demon wolf as big as a calf slowly held the flesh and blood of the giant python in its mouth.
Walking out, his eyes were fixed on Heather and the others.
Barrett held down the arm-mounted rotating machine gun on his right arm with his left hand: "These cunning beasts will wait for Sephiroth to kill the giant python and sneak over to devour the giant python corpse, but obviously our new flesh and blood is more in line with their taste.
.”
"Maybe they also know how to store food? More food is always good." Alice tilted her head and expressed her opinion.
"It doesn't matter what the reason is, am I the only one who discovered that they have blocked all roads?" Yuffie screamed in fright.
At some point, demonic wolves were everywhere, and there were more than three hundred demonic wolves all over the mountains and plains.
Heather looked around leisurely and said with a nostalgic tone: "Ah, it reminds me of the night I met Barrett and Jesse. The number of magic wolves that night was not as many as now."
"I think about it. At that time, I thought Tifa was the wife of the village who was forcibly taken by Heather. Now that I think about it, it's not too different." Jesse directed the red comet to get out of the truck.
He joked.
Tifa blushed: "Jesse! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Just, don't talk nonsense, Jesse." Alice, who was inspecting the magic crystal inlaid on the metal staff, helped.
"This time I will not sit still and wait for death like I did then." Barrett laughed and raised his arm machine gun, aiming at the approaching demon wolves in front of him.
"Once and for all?" Claude held the hilt of the sword behind his back and looked at Heather.
"certainly."
Heather transformed a golden cross sword into her hand and spoke in a relaxed tone. To deal with such a low-level demonic wolf, there was no need to use powerful weapons like the 'Narachuan' and 'Burning Fruit'.
Only the new member, Yuffie, grabbed the huge cross shuriken uneasily: "Really, do you really want to fight? The number is a bit different, isn't it?"
"If you're scared, just get in the car." Heather was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with her.
"Who, who are you scared of? I am the beautiful ninja Yuffie!" After being stimulated by Heather, Yuffie became less scared.
Everyone surrounded Old Bill's family's truck in the center, all ready to go.
There was a sad wolf howl in the distance, and all the demon wolves seemed to have heard the order, and they all rushed towards the convoy at the same time.
"That's right, let me experience the unparalleled feeling of mowing grass!"
Heather laughed loudly and threw the absolute royal power in her hand. The golden cross sword turned into a stream of light and instantly blasted the demon wolf closest to it into pieces, then the second one, and the third... completely shattered.
After killing eleven demon wolves, he suddenly stopped castrating. Heather tightly held the thin golden chain connected to the end of the sword hilt in the distance and swung it horizontally. The absolute royal power immediately turned into a terrifying sickle and launched a large-scale attack on the demon wolves.
Sweeping slash.
In the distance, the high-level magic [Big Thunder] cast by Alice bombarded the wolves one after another, constantly exploding limbs and spreading the smell of burnt meat. Barret and the red comet formed a dense firepower network.
, the storm of bullets forced the wolves in front to get closer, and the flying bullet casings kept hitting the road surface.
Even if occasionally a powerful elite demonic wolf breaks through the hail of bullets and rushes nearby, it will be split in two by Cloud's heavy sword, or blasted into ice shards by Tifa's heavy punch. Their duty is to protect long-range enemies.
Be a teammate.
Yuffie jumped to the top of the truck, and the huge cross shuriken she threw with force turned into a whirlwind of death, constantly harvesting the demon wolves that tried to attack the truck. The throwing technique of the huge cross shuriken was very clever, and it always hit the target in a graceful arc.
The line is back in Yuffie's hands.
As the battle situation reached a stalemate, the mournful wolf howl sounded again, but this time it was obviously much closer.
The Demon Wolf King is about to take action himself.
