1589 Scorpion Lord Medusa, Part One (1/2)
Edited by Aelryinth
”Awoo~Awoo~” the Flying Creek Snow Wolf let out excited cries when he heard Mo Fan had Commander-level Soul Essences.
”Why are you even so excited? They are not for you, you are already at the Great Commander-level, it's a waste to give them to you,” Mo Fan scolded.
”Awoo~” the Flying Creek Snow Wolf uttered a series of cries with a wronged look. Unfortunately, Mo Fan did not understand a single word.
”Little Flame Belle, can you please interpret what your Uncle Wolf is trying to say to me?” Mo Fan asked.
”Yiyiyaya, doudou, dududu, wu~” Little Flame Belle was Grade Ten in interpreting the dog… the wolf language. She immediately understood what the Flying Creek Snow Wolf was trying to say and relayed the message to Mo Fan.
Mo Fan was able to understand Little Flame Belle with the help of the Soul Contract. He had no idea what she was saying, but he could roughly interpret it through his soul.
”So the Old Wolf is saying I shouldn't use the Commander-level Soul Essences to recruit more wolves, but use them on the Enormous White Wolves to help them evolve instead?”
”Ling!~” Little Flame Belle nodded.
”Awoo!~” the Flying Creek Snow Wolf almost burst into tears. The little creature clearly knew him better!
”He's right! If I recruit more of them, the strength of the army might not be balanced, and if the new recruits are from a different species, it's going to be troublesome if they aren't willing to take orders from the Old Wolf,” Mo Fan nodded agreement.
The Enormous White Wolves had been obedient, and they had worked for him for a long time. The Enormous White Wolves were all Warrior-level creatures in the Advancing Period, one step away from reaching the Commander-level. In fact, a few of them were already as strong as a Commander-level creature. It was indeed a better choice to help them evolve than recruiting new Commander-level creatures. These Enormous White Wolves would have no trouble evolving, judging by their strength.
”Alright, Old Wolf, you go ahead and choose eight of them who are ready to evolve; I shall turn them into Commander-level creatures!” Mo Fan made up his mind.
The Enormous White Wolves had been serving him well. He enjoyed having the simple-minded and violent Enormous White Wolves around, so it made sense to be giving the good stuff to them.
If he used the Soul Essences to help the Enormous White Wolves evolve, it did mean he was not increasing the capacity of the Summoning Gate. In other words, he had lost a chance at eight more Warrior-level creatures, but that was negligible compared to the current size of his army. It was more important for the wolves to be united. When the veterans like Big Wolf, Second Wolf, and Third Wolf became real Commander-level creatures, they would have more say in the army!
”Awoo!~” The Flying Creek Snow Wolf did not expect to have so many new brothers all of a sudden...
”How about this? I won't be Summoning you guys for a while, so you can go ahead and find yourself a mountain to expand your territory! Seriously, don't you feel ashamed to be living in a cave? You should at least have your own mountain! Otherwise, aren't you just embarrassing me if you tell the other Summoned Beasts that you are taking orders from me?” Mo Fan shared his plan with the Old Wolf.
The Old Wolf was excited once again.
He had long planned to expand his territory, but his pack was not strong enough to do so. The mountains with comfortable environments and plenty of resources were usually occupied by powerful beasts. They were asking to die if they tried to take over another beast's territory when they were not strong enough, but that was no longer the case...
Not only was his pack close to two hundred strong, he would even have eight extra Commanders under his lead. The untouchable mountains were now within his reach!
The Flying Creek Snow Wolf was overwhelmed by excitement when he imagined himself standing on top of the mountain and lifting his head under a moon that was within inches of him. His sexy howls would easily attract the attention of the female wolves nearby, while intimidating the restless male wolves, too! Any wolf packs weaker than his pack were going to submit to him!
Wasn't that exactly what he had been looking for when he was licking his own wounds and hiding in the corner of a cave when he was still a Spirit Wolf?

The tomb was deadly quiet. The echoes of a few coughs lasted for some time in the chamber.
Zhao Manyan opened his eyes. He immediately had a miserable face when he glanced around.
Why was he not lying on a comfortable bed with naked women lying on his sides when he woke up? Why did he have to wake up in a goddamned tomb beside the dark-faced, ugly Shreev?
Zhao Manyan stood up and walked around to loosen his bones. He had fully recovered. He looked at Mo Fan and saw the guy staring at the light of his Summoning Element instead of meditating.
”Mo Fan, what are you doing?” Zhao Manyan asked with a confused face.
”I'm helping my Summoned Beasts evolve,” Mo Fan replied.
”Is Little Flame Belle about to reach the Ruler-level?” Zhao Manyan asked curiously.
”It's not Little Flame Belle,” Mo Fan said.
”Oh, so it's the Flying Creek Snow Wolf, then? You're really something! How did you even manage to help him grow from a Spirit Wolf to his current level? Other Summoners wouldn't bother wasting so many resources on a Summoned Beast!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
”It's not him, either. I'm strengthening the Summoned Beasts of my Beast Tide...” Mo Fan explained.
”What?” Zhao Manyan was dumbfounded.
”Didn't you already see the Enormous White Wolves I Summoned before? I'm helping them to evolve,” Mo Fan expounded.
”Mo Fan, is your mind flooded by the Catastrophe Wave from before?” Zhao Manyan asked.
”No?”
