Chapter 304: Digging Into My Territory?

The mutated wolf dog was very eager to fight, making Zhang Mu wonder why it was so excited.

Approaching step by step was a pair of eyes deeper and colder than any other emerald, coming closer.

It must be the Wolf King!

Using a flashlight, Zhang Mu saw the appearance of the Wolf King, noticing it was the same size as other mutated wild wolves, unlike other leader beasts who were usually larger than their kin.

Unlike other mutated wild wolves, the Wolf King didn’t look fierce, instead walking steadily and gracefully towards them.

Even though its size didn’t stand out from the rest of its kind, its demeanor made it clear that it was the Wolf King.

The mutated wolf dog’s eyes never left the Wolf King since the moment it emerged from the pack. It didn’t even glance at the other fierce first-order mutated wild wolves.

The Wolf King nodded in a human-like way as he looked at the mutated wolfhound approaching. Suddenly, a deep growl came from the Wolf King’s throat, lasting for a while and seeming to convey rich content.

Zhang Mu, standing nearby, was puzzled. The mutated wolfhound, upon hearing the Wolf King speak in the language of beasts, suddenly calmed down, looking as if it couldn’t believe what it heard.

The Obsidian Beetle also seemed to be in a daze, not saying a word. Zhang Mu, who didn’t know what was happening, urged it, “What’s going on?”

The Obsidian Beetle, sounding somewhat incredulous, slowly told Zhang Mu, “The Wolf King said it smelled the scent of that dead dog, and wants the dead dog to follow its pack.”

The dead dog carries remnants of their wolf clan’s bloodline, along with pure energy that it sensed within the dead dog. If the dead dog follows it, the Wolf King can help the dead dog develop a complete wolf bloodline and advance.

The reason the dead dog cannot advance to second-rank yet is because its bloodline is impure.

However, the condition to help the dead dog is to let it follow the wolf pack and assist the Wolf King.”

Zhang Mu was stunned. This skinny stray dog was undermining him right in front of his eyes? No, his dog?

It turns out that the wolf pack’s goal is not to hunt but for their own mutated wolfhound!

However, he’s not taking him seriously at all.

He was about to teach a lesson to the second-rate Mutated Wolf King, but was stopped by the Mutated Wolfhound, who growled softly.

“That dead dog told you not to act,” translated Obsidian Beetle in time.

Upon hearing Obsidian Beetle’s words, Zhang Mu instantly stopped his actions, suppressed the restless Blood Lotus back into his body, and asked seriously, “Do you really want to go?”

The mutated wolfhound first whimpered a few times, then began to growl loudly.

Even without the translation from Obsidian Beetle, Zhang Mu probably guessed the meaning of the mutated wolfhound.

Among their group, only itself was struggling to advance to second-rank, only itself was holding back the whole team, it craved power.

The message transmitted by Obsidian Beetle was indeed similar to what he had just guessed, the mutated wolfhound felt increasingly useless.

Zhang Mu smiled lightly, rubbed the fluffy head of the mutated wolfhound, and said, “Who said you’re useless? I rely on you for scouting and traveling, don’t I?”

Halfway through speaking, Zhang Mu saw the determination and stubbornness in the mutated wolfhound’s eyes, smiled gently, and said, “If you want to go, go ahead. When I rescued you, I promised to let you leave when you wanted to go.”

I, Zhang Mu, keep my promises.

If you want to leave, you can go.

If you don’t want to leave, just with these thousands of wild wolves and a second-rank Wolf King, even if we can’t defeat them, we can create an opening.”

As Zhang Mu spoke, his words carried a hint of coldness and a thirst for battle.

The mutated wolfhound rubbed its head against Zhang Mu, licked his face, and this time, Zhang Mu didn’t avoid it, instead patting its back.

Yuan Rui’s eyes were filled with tears, it was so sudden. She was very intelligent and could guess what was happening from Zhang Mu and the mutated wolfhound’s expressions and conversation.

When the mutated wolfhound approached to say goodbye to her, Yuan Rui directly hugged its neck, incoherently saying, “Don’t leave, please. If you go, Little Black’s back is too hard. I can’t hold on, please don’t go!”

The mutated wolfhound just growled softly, trying to be gentle, comforting the woman who had always groomed and fed it.

The mutated wolfhound nuzzled for a long time, Yuan Rui finally let go. She knew she shouldn’t be stubborn at this time, but she couldn’t help it.

When Obsidian Beetle arrived, it shrank its body size and ignored the mutated wolfhound, just said something in animal language to it.

“Don’t follow those stinky wolves who haven’t advanced to second-rank yet. When the time comes, don’t go out and tell others that you’ve been with me. I can’t afford to lose that reputation.”

After the farewell ceremony, the mutated wolfhound slowly walked towards the wolf pack.

The Wolf King looked at the mutated wolfhound walking towards him with great satisfaction, because the earth-element on its body was so pure.

But just as the wolf pack received the command from the Wolf King to leave, the mutated wolfhound suddenly stopped, let out a loud and high-pitched howl that was almost like a wolf’s howl.

Just as they were about to leave, all the wild wolves turned back, staring intensely at the mutated wolfhound behind them. Their expressions seemed as if they felt they had misheard something, collectively glared at the mutated wolfhound with malicious intent, ready to pounce and tear it apart at any moment.

At that moment, Obsidian Beetle’s voice slowly echoed in Zhang Mu’s heart, with a hint of hesitation.

“That dead dog said it wants to fight the second-rank Wolf King.”

Wolf King won and left with the wolf pack.
