Chapter 192 Scaring the Ash Wolf King
On the other side, in the cave…
Li Xuan was eating roasted meat while checking all sorts of information about the main city. He was constantly setting up and issuing missions for the main city.
However, at this moment, Li Xuan raised his eyebrows. “Another one died? As expected, this steel mantis is too weak. It’s only suitable to be a servant.”
Li Xuan shook his head and activated his God’s Perspective. Soon, he saw an orange tree that had been cut down. The fresh and tender oranges were enough to make one drool.
“No. 1, go and get that orange tree back.” Li Xuan put away his God’s Perspective and ordered.
Whoosh!
No. 1 rushed out at high speed and left without any hesitation.
Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction when he saw this scene. “Although it’s a little weak, it’s indeed suitable to be a servant. Then, I’ll create two more to make it three.”
Li Xuan muttered and once again released the Mantis Puppet Creation Skill and continued to create steel puppets.
Following the large consumption of Soul Power, two new steel puppets gradually appeared, their metallic bodies emitting a cold texture.
“The consumption of Soul Power is really not small. To create a mantis puppet, it actually consumes 5% of my Soul Power. What a waste. Forget it, I’ll sleep. I should be able to recover after a nap.”
Li Xuan stretched his body and laid down in the grass to sleep, beginning to recover the Soul Power he had consumed.
Outside, at Ash Wolf Valley…
The smoke and dust slowly dispersed, revealing the ruined valley.
At this moment, the valley had turned into ruins. The originally beautiful grass, trees, and flowers had all been destroyed.
The entire valley was only left with a devastated land and the scarred Ash Wolf King.
At this moment, the Ash Wolf King was lying on the ground motionless. Its breathing became very weak, and it could not even stand up.
Fortunately, the white light kept flashing, healing its heavily injured body.
“When that steel mantis self-destructed, it held back. Otherwise, I might have already died!”
When the Ash Wolf King thought of the terrifying scene not long ago, a thick fear emerged in its heart. It had almost, almost died, and completely vanished into thin air
If not for that steel mantis choosing to self-destruct from afar and not getting too close to the Ash Wolf King, the Ash Wolf King might have already been finished.
“I don’t want to experience this kind of near-death state anymore. It’s too terrifying.”
The Ash Wolf King continued to heal himself. His injuries gradually improved, and he could slowly stand up. Even his hair had recovered to its original state. However, his internal injuries were too severe, and even his walking was shaky.
“I’ll continue to heal. I can’t let other Summoned Beasts see my weakness. At this moment, I can’t even defeat an Ordinary Rank Summoned Beast.”
The Ash Wolf King continued to work hard to heal itself. Gradually, its steps stopped swaying and it could walk slowly.
However, it clearly knew that it could only heal to this extent. If it wanted to continue to recover, it would need at least half a year.
“Let’s return to the cave. This is my territory. No one dares to approach it easily. If I rest in the cave for half a year, I might be able to recover.”
The Ash Wolf King slowly walked forward with its claws. However, it soon sensed something and hurriedly looked toward the entrance of the valley.
Then, the steel mantis that it was most unwilling to see appeared.
A steel mantis was carrying an orange tree and watching from afar. It did not have any intention of attacking.
However, the steel mantis raised the large blades on its forelimbs and made a gesture of cutting its neck.
Then, the steel mantis left, carrying the orange tree and leaving quickly.
However, the neck-slicing motion scared the Ash Wolf King so much that it broke out in a cold sweat. It no longer dared to walk toward the cave.
“No, I have to leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, I might not live past today.”
The Ash Wolf King hurriedly walked out. It was because it was too heavily injured, it could not run. It could only walk forward step by step.
Although there were many Summoned Beasts outside the valley, as long as the Ash Wolf King didn’t show any signs of weakness, no one dared to approach it. Therefore, it wasn’t particularly dangerous in the outside world.
In order to make itself look uninjured, the Ash Wolf King controlled the wind to blow its fur white and bright, without a speck of dust.
At the same time, it continuously released its aura, which was the Ash Wolf King’s unique tyrannical aura. It was as intimidating as a king in all directions.
After doing all this, it left as fast as it could and headed toward the red maple mountain.
Time slowly passed.
Soon, three hours passed.
The Ash Wolf King was lucky enough to come to the Red Maple Mountain. It lay on the top of the mountain and quietly observed the surroundings, in case it was attacked.
It did not dare to go to the Mountain Crane Area because the other party would definitely kill it while it was weak. Therefore, the Ash Wolf King could only quietly recuperate here.
However, the Ash Wolf King did not know…
At this time, Li Xuan had already woken up and turned into a black-robed person. He brought three steel mantises and headed towards the direction of Red Maple Mountain.
At the foot of Red Maple Mountain, a group of human reincarnators who had returned from the Mountain Crane Region walked slowly. Through the skill of a Conversation Beast, they did not need to chat in the chat channel to be able to talk to each other.
They were the group of people who were unwilling to pay the Honor Points. Originally, they had decided not to return to the Ash Wolf Area and went to the Mountain Crane Area.
In the end, the Mountain Crane Area was too dangerous. Many of them had died and had no choice but to return.
“The Mountain Crane Area is too dangerous. Several reincarnators have died. We can only return to the Ash Wolf Area. However, Li Xuan is too evil. Paying 10 Honor Points a month is equivalent to robbing money.”
“That’s right. We should resist together and refuse to pay Honor Points together. After all, unity is strength,” a red rat said angrily.
“I’m afraid it’s very difficult. Li Xuan is too strong. Our strength combined can’t beat him…”
“But we can suggest that Li Xuan reduce the Honor Point payment to 1 point. That way, we can accept it.”
“You wish. With such a high benefit, Li Xuan will definitely not give up. Unless someone has powerful strength to defeat Li Xuan, otherwise, Li Xuan will not reduce the Honor Point payment.” “This…”
Everyone’s expressions were somewhat ugly. This was because Li Xuan was too strong. They simply could not defeat Li Xuan with their own strength.
“Eh? Look at the peak of Red Maple Mountain. Isn’t that the Ash Wolf King? It’s actually here!” someone said.
“It’s indeed it. This is a very powerful Summoned Beast. It was once the lord of this region. Unfortunately, it has also stepped down. Its authority has been revoked, so it probably doesn’t have a place to stay.”
“Wait, I’ve thought of a way. We can work together with the Ash Wolf King and fight for a piece of territory from Li Xuan’s hands. It can be considered an autonomous region…”
“With the Ash Wolf King’s strength and us working together, we might be able to succeed. Even if we fail, we can still lower the price of Honor Points,” the red rat suggested.
“This is a good idea. The Ash Wolf King doesn’t have a place to stay, so he will definitely hold a grudge against Li Xuan. As long as we show our sincerity, we will definitely be able to convince the Ash Wolf King.”
“Yes, yes, yes. We have a lot of materials. Through the exchange of interest, we will definitely be able to convince the Ash Wolf King.” The Big Mouthed Beast hurriedly nodded.
The group felt that this idea was feasible. After discussing for a while, they headed towards the peak of Red Maple Mountain together.
However, they had just reached the peak when a terrifying aura swept over, scaring the human reincarnators so much that they did not dare to go forward.
After discussing, they sent out a myna that could talk to the Ash Wolf King.
“Lord Ash Wolf King, we want to make a deal with you.” The myna reincarnator flew up and spoke to the Ash Wolf King from afar.
“What Deal?”
The Ash Wolf King’s aura was extraordinary, and he spoke indifferently like a king.
“It’s like this…”
The myna quickly recounted Li Xuan’s evil deeds, adding all sorts of embellishments.
Furthermore, the myna promised many benefits, and even took out many good things to persuade the Ash Wolf King.
The Ash Wolf King listened quietly. Seeing that the materials the other party took out contained healing materials, the Ash Wolf King’s eyes lit up.
“Sure, I just happen to be planning to take back my authority. In a few days, I’ll be able to break through to Silver Rank. When that time comes, I’ll definitely be able to take back the authority that belongs to me,” the Ash Wolf King said proudly.
Silver Rank?
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, but then they were ecstatic. One had to know that Silver Rank was very powerful. After reaching Silver Rank, no one dared to underestimate the Ash Wolf King. Even if they could not take back their territory, they could still obtain an autonomous region.
Then, they could survive in the Ash Wolf King’s territory and pay fewer taxes. Therefore, everyone looked happy.
