Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 489 - 461 Battle with the Wolf Pack
Lin Tian had found Xiahou Qingyi and Li Chong; the plane was already waiting for Lin Tian. The Dragon Emperor stood beside the plane, his face twisted into a bitter expression, but despite his reluctance, he had no choice—this was a senior officer's order.
From there to Wu'an City, with the speed of the plane, it would take half an hour. Lin Tian checked the time; it was already half-past eight. They would arrive at Wu'an City by nine, and they had to head back by eleven-thirty. He only had two and a half hours to rescue Bu Mengting and Shen Mengyi.
"Two and a half hours. Can I really save them?" Lin Tian couldn't help but ask himself.
He must, he absolutely must—for the senior officer, for Bu Mengting, for Shen Mengyi, for Xiahou Qingyi, for Li Chong, for all those who depended on him, who believed in him. He had to save them and make sure to return by twelve.

Feeling anxious and tormented all the way, half an hour later, the plane landed directly on the back mountain of Wu'an City.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a mountain road about one meter wide, the only passage leading into the mountain. The road was not steep but was overgrown with wild grass.
Lin Tian and the other two got off the plane. Lin Tian first made a call to Jiang Hui.
"Jiang Hui, I've arrived at the back mountain. Where are you and Wang Ying?" Lin Tian asked.
Jiang Hui was hurrying on his way and quickly replied, "Brother, I still need twenty minutes to get the guys to the back mountain."
Lin Tian spoke up, "We'll go in first. You guys hurry up and come to support us later, but be careful."
After hanging up the phone, he turned to Li Chong and Xiahou Qingyi and said, "They've led us here; there must be an ambush. Let's be careful."
Lin Tian led the way, and the three of them started walking up the mountain step by step.
After walking more than a mile, there was a forest ahead. On the largest and thickest tree, Lin Tian saw a sign with an arrow pointing to the 'left.'
This was all arranged by Zhang Ya; she held the initiative. Knowing it was a trap, they still had to charge in.
Afterward, every hundred or two hundred meters, arrows would appear, guiding Lin Tian's path forward.
As they walked, the remains of animals began appearing beside them—wild boars, goats, rabbits, and more, all incredibly brutal, with the smell of blood filling the air everywhere.
"Hold on," Xiahou Qingyi's eyes darted around as she spoke, "I keep feeling that this place is dangerous, as if dozens of eyes are watching us. I feel like we're being surveilled."
"What danger could there be here? It's probably just the many animal bodies and the heavy stench of blood that makes it feel a bit sinister. Let's hurry and leave this place!" Li Chong said casually.
Lin Tian shook his head, stopped, and looked around. He shared the same feeling as Xiahou Qingyi. One person might be wrong, but the instincts of two people must be right.
Lin Tian continued scanning the surroundings with his eyes, and suddenly, his pupils dilated—he saw a pair of glowing eyes staring intently at him.
"Wolves!" Xiahou Qingyi shouted.
One pair, two pairs, three pairs... a dozen pairs of eyes were staring at them. More than a dozen wolves had surrounded Lin Tian and the others, encircling them completely.
"This is a wolf den!"
Lin Tian exclaimed.
Lin Tian had heard since childhood that there was a wolf den in the hills behind, and people often died there, but in recent years, Lin Tian had spent his time in school and heard less of these rumors. Additionally, with the rapid development of Wu'an City, urban expansion, and smooth subway traffic, the hills had almost been dug out by half. Lin Tian originally thought that the wolf pack had died out, but now it seemed they were still alive.
"Awooo..." A gigantic White-headed Wolf King let out a wolf howl, followed by a dozen large black wolves diving down from the top of the mountain, baring their teeth and looking fierce.
To be honest, even though Lin Tian was now very powerful, he still had a natural awe for wolves, especially for wolf packs.
He had read Jiang Rong's "Wolf Totem." That book practically deified wolves, and Lin Tian had read it four or five times, which made him still hold a respect for wolves.
Lin Tian was reluctant to kill wolves, but now, it seemed he had no choice.
Lin Tian yelled, "Let's stand back to back and form an absolute defensive force, ensuring these wolves come but do not return."
The three of them quickly stood back to back, Xiahou Qingyi immediately pulled out the Qingluan Sword, Li Chong took out a one-meter-long broadsword, and Lin Tian, lacking a handy weapon, used a dagger to kill wolves.
A huge black wolf, taking the lead and diving toward Lin Tian, was the vanguard of the wolf pack, the colossal wolf described by Jiang Rong.
Lin Tian activated his Neural Response Speed Ability, and his dagger stabbed out at the fastest speed, aiming for the throat. Lin Tian's entire dagger plunged into the wolf's throat as the Black Wolf struggled fiercely, its claws wildly scratching, leaving gashes on Lin Tian's chest and corners of his mouth.
With a loud shout, Lin Tian forcefully threw the wolf, flinging it ten meters away, the dagger so deeply embedded that he didn't have time to pull it out.
Then, almost at the same time, five large wolves pounced towards the three of them.
Xiahou Qingyi, being the strongest and most domineering, swung the Qingluan Sword twice, the sharp blade killing two wolves.
Lin Tian released a Fireball, instantly burning one of the large wolves to death, and Li Chong also chopped down another. The remaining wolf, seeing it was no match, quickly fled and joined the rest of the large wolves, baring its teeth and growling at Lin Tian and the others.
The wolf pack, recognizing the strength of Lin Tian and his companions, didn't dare to attack blindly. They surrounded the trio, waiting for an opportunity.
Wolves are very patient. Ignoring their mission to retrieve Nidhogg, they could wear down Lin Tian and his two companions just by surrounding them.
The wolves had time and patience, they could afford to wait, but Lin Tian could not.
Lin Tian shouted, "You two hold on here, I'll go kill that White-headed Wolf King."
"I'm stronger than you, I'll go," Xiahou Qingyi shouted.
Rushing out alone would inevitably lead to an attack by the rest of the large wolves, and as the saying goes, even a master can be beaten by a chaotic fight. Even a strong person like Xiahou Qingyi didn't dare to rashly rush out, for if she was slow and surrounded, she would be torn to pieces by the wolf pack in an instant.
Lin Tian said, "No need for you to go, this started because of me, and I'll take full responsibility."
Seeing the worried expressions of Xiahou Qingyi and Li Chong, he added, "Don't worry, I have a plan."
Then, Lin Tian used the Flight Technique, activating his superpower within, and rose from the ground, flying directly towards the wolf pack's encirclement to attack the white-headed wolf.
This was the first time Lin Tian had used the Flight Technique in front of Xiahou Qingyi and Li Chong, leaving them bewildered, even stunning the wolf pack as they all stared at Lin Tian as if looking at a UFO.
