A demonic glow rose into the sky in the distance. A strong gust of wind swept in all directions from the center of the white woods. The trees swayed like strong waves of an ocean. The broken leaves and trees scattered in the night sky.

The evil glow continued to grow brighter. Nighthawk stood on the head of the Light-Curtain Eagle, the strong wind blowing at his face. The man lifted his sharply-defined face, revealing a long scar that went from his neck to the back of his ear!

“This presence…” Nighthawk frowned. His expression turned cold too.

“What is it? You know what it is?” Mo Fan asked.

Mo Fan was well aware that the presence belonged to the Dreadful Curse Hell Hounds, but there was something different about it this time. It felt stronger and scarier!

“Can you see the scar on my face?” Nighthawk twisted his lips. He flipped his hair up to fully expose the scar.

Mo Fan was finally able to get a close look at the scar. It was terrifying. The lumps across the scar showed how deep and wide the wound had been!

“I thought I wasn’t going to live back then. I can still feel that I’m lying in my own pool of blood…” Nighthawk recalled the past with a painful look. He shook his head to clear his thoughts and said, “It’s the Dreadful Curse Hell Hound. When I was hunting down a criminal, it was his Dreadful Curse Hell Hound that bit my neck!”

“It’s indeed the presence of a Dreadful Curse Hell Hound, but the man is from the Research Union,” Mo Fan said.

Nighthawk nodded and said, “There isn’t just one person that owns the Dreadful Curse Hell Hounds, but judging from how strong its presence is, I’m afraid the guy has access to the Hell Forge Ritual!”

“Hell Forge Ritual? What does that mean?” Mo Fan was confused.

As soon as Mo Fan finished the sentence, three ghastly heads of Dreadful Curse Hell Hounds poked out from the canopy layer of the woods. Their eyes were swaying like fires, emitting an intimidating light. Dark red breaths were coming out between their fangs. The snow that landed close to them was evaporated by the scorching heat instantly!

The Light-Curtain Eagle subconsciously beat its wings to slow down when it felt threatened. The creature was obviously intimidated by the overwhelming presence of the deadly beast. It even lost its balance slightly when it felt the strong aura of the beast sweeping at it.

As they got a little closer, Mo Fan realized the three heads of the Dreadful Curse Hell Hounds were actually connected to the same thick neck, all covered in dreadful curses!

The neck had three heads on it, each with a different aura and color. Even the fierce light from their eyes was different!

“You have found yourself a formidable opponent. The man can already merge three Dreadful Curse Hell Hounds into one. He has forged three Dreadful Curse Hell Hounds into a Dreadful Curse Cerberus several times stronger than a Dreadful Curse Hell Hound!” Nighthawk said.

The Dreadful Curse Cerberus was at least five times bigger than a normal Dreadful Curse Hell Hound. The trees were over fifty meters tall, but were nowhere enough to conceal the creature’s size.

Its three heads loomed above the canopy. Two of them were roaring fiercely into the night sky, while the remaining one was staring at the canopy as if searching for something hiding in it.

The head with green burning eyes suddenly discovered something. The other two heads immediately locked murderous gazes on a slim figure weaving through the trees with her wind in the canopy!

The Dreadful Curse Cerberus dashed forward, and ramming the trees into pieces. They poked their heads forward, as if they were fighting for the chance to swallow Mu Ningxue down!

The beast’s speed and strength were absolutely terrifying. It had managed to catch up to Mu Ningxue even though she was making a run with her Nimble Wind. She kept switching her positions like an ice fairy. Whenever the Dreadful Curse Cerberus was about to catch up to her, she would make an urgent turn to distance herself…

The Dreadful Curse Cerberus kept charging forward, knocking down a huge bunch of innocent trees like it was running through a field of grain. It continued to change direction and pursue Mu Ningxue relentlessly.

The head engulfed in a green fire suddenly opened its mouth and spat out sinister green flames at her!

The green flames surged through the woods like a long green tongue, rapidly closing in on Mu Ningxue.

Mu Ningxue glanced back and saw the green flames. She also noticed the other two heads of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus were watching her closely. They would lunge in the same direction she was dodging into. She had nowhere to run to!

Mu Ningxue’s heart pounded heavily. The Dreadful Curse Cerberus was easily the strongest Commander-level creature she had ever encountered. Even her frost had no chance of suppressing its hellish aura!

If she did not have enough time to set up her ice, if her Ice Magic failed to suppress her opponent, there was no way she could take on the formidable beast!

As she thought, as soon as she tried to dodge, the moment she slowed down a little, the other two heads of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus lunged at her simultaneously. As they opened their mouths, the deadly aura circling them suddenly turned into a pitch-black cave with sharp fangs. They were not biting at her, they were trying to swallow her directly!

“Wind Wings: Six Wings Protection!”

The white Wind Wings extended and bent forward. They stacked on top of one another to protect Mu Ningxue!

The Six Wings Protection was an outstanding defensive spell of the Advanced Level, one of the uses of the Wind Wings. The only downside was, once the Wind Wings were used as protection, they would soon dissipate. It would take some time before the Mage could summon new Wind Wings again!

The wind surged wildly. The Six Wings Protection did resist the attack of the Dreadful Curse Cerberus, but Mu Ningxue also fell to the ground after losing her Wind Wings.

Without them, Mu Ningxue had no chance of escaping from the Dreadful Curse Cerberus. The Dreadful Curse Cerberus seemed quite intelligent. Every move it took had a goal in mind. It was gradually driving its prey into a dead end!
