210 Trade complete (1/2)

When Ren Xiaosu looked at the Wolf King's strange expression, he said, ”If you don't want the Lord of Wolves of Mount Kun, I still have other things that I can offer you.” He took out a pistol and asked, ”Do you want this?”

The Wolf King kept quiet as it reverted back to its calm expression.

Ren Xiaosu put away the gun. A man and a wolf were sitting next to each other on this mountain path with the moonlight shining down upon them. It was an atmosphere that could only be described as exceptionally harmonious.

”Do you want this?” Ren Xiaosu took out a bottle of antibiotics Old Wang gave him before they parted ways. Although he did not fall sick as often now, he could use it to save the students in case they fell ill.

However, the Wolf King still did not respond.

Ren Xiaosu pulled out a dazzling array of items like a hammer, shovel, pot, etc., but the Wolf King still remained unmoved. Ren Xiaosu sighed, ”If you are gonna be so picky, I won't be able to return your favor.”

Wait a minute! He still had one item he didn't take out. At this moment, Ren Xiaosu brought out a vial of black medicine from his storage space. ”Do you want this?”

When Ren Xiaosu said this, he did not hold any high hopes while pulling the stopper off the vial. But when the Wolf King sniffed and caught a whiff of the smell in the air, it suddenly nodded to Ren Xiaosu.

Ren Xiaosu was momentarily taken aback as he did not expect the Wolf King to really understand human language.

He threw the vial over and the Wolf King picked it up with its mouth as it got up. Ren Xiaosu could finally let out a sigh of relief. It looked like they were not going to be lacking any meat from now on. ”I never expected that you'd need something like this while in the prime of your life.”

When the Wolf King heard that, it looked a little confused. It didn't seem like it realized what Ren Xiaosu had just given it. It was just that there was an inexplicably attractive smell emanating from the vial into the air. It was not the smell of the medicine that attracted it, but a smell of mystery that originated from the palace.

Then the man and the wolf parted ways. After a brief exchange, Ren Xiaosu felt that his relationship with the Wolf King had become a little closer. At the very least, they were now trading partners or something like that. As long as they were not enemies, anything was fine.

In the wee hours of the same night, everyone at the outpost was jolted awake by the noisy howling of the wolves. Everyone put on their clothes as they walked out of their houses and looked towards the mountains. They could not tell where the howling was coming from.

Li Qingzheng was wearing a military overcoat and wondered, ”What's the matter with those wolves in the middle of the night? They've been howling for over an hour already. Are they out on a hunt?”

Ren Xiaosu felt a little guilty. ”They probably are. Who knows?”

”Could they be gathering their allies to attack the outpost?” someone wondered.

”That's unlikely. They wouldn't need to gather their allies to attack our outpost. We'll all be dead if just a few hundred of them came to attack us,” someone said.

”Aren't we putting ourselves down too much by saying that?” a soldier said.

Ren Xiaosu said in seriousness, ”That's what you call self-awareness….”

However, Ren Xiaosu felt a little guilty because he suspected it might have something to do with the black medicine he had given the Wolf King that caused the wolves to behave so abnormally.

For the next two days, the Wolf King did not send any additional game from their hunts to the outpost. After they cut off the dirtied part of the roasted goat, Li Qingzheng and the others continued eating it with relish. However, Ren Xiaosu did not have any appetite for it anymore.

It was not a matter of whether the meat was dirtied or not, but in Ren Xiaosu's opinion, that spit represented an insult from the high and mighty family members of the organization.

But of course, it was mainly because he was not hungry.

Li Qingzheng lamented as he sat at the edge of the campfire and looked at what remained of the goat, ”I wonder what happened to the wolves. Why aren't they sending us food anymore?”

”They're probably exhausted.” Ren Xiaosu sighed. He was thinking about if he should have clearly explained the effects of the medicine to the Wolf King. After all, there was quite a difference between using it externally and internally.
