Chapter 49 (1/2)

Shen Zhe nodded secretly, completely ignoring his friend’s shock.

The beast didn’t submit after being beaten up for such a long time. It was obvious that the beast was unyielding. However, it conceded once it received the herb liquid, which was definitely the key element.

It seemed that the medication was useful for both human beings and beasts, at least more useful than Pearl Chicken.

He lowered his head and saw that the Blue Fox had fallen asleep after taking the herb liquid.

“Let’s go back!” Shen Zhe stood up.

They were there only to catch the Blue Fox. They could return since the beast had been tamed.

Zhao Chen complained after seeing that the beast had eaten the complete Pearl Chicken.

They picked up the fox and extinguished the fire to leave the cave.

They had barely stepped out when Shen Zhe felt goosebumps all over his body. He hurried to pull Zhao Chen back.

“What’s wrong?” Zhao Chen was confused.

“Look…” Shen Zhe pointed at the front.

Zhao Chen raised his head and his heart turned cold.

Infinite green eyes surrounded the cave in the dark woods. A gigantic wolf with white hair on its forehead was slowly walking towards them.

“Is this… the iron-toothed wolf king?”

Shen Zhe was cold.

The wolf pack and the wolf king that Ms. Bai had described were there!

The cave was surrounded by them.

The purple iron-toothed wolf king was on par with a Martial Artist at the peak of level one. Even Ms. Bai had to retreat when they had faced off.

While Shen Zhe had progressed considerably, he was certainly no match for hundreds of iron-toothed wolves and a wolf king. Even fleeing could be highly unlikely.

“The iron-toothed wolves’ habitat is far away from here… Were they attracted by the fragrance of the Pearl Chicken?” Zhao Chen shivered.

The habitat of the iron-toothed wolves marked on the map was dozens of kilometers away. So, they had never been worried.

Why were the wolves suddenly there?

“The Pearl Chicken is attractive, but most of its fragrance was restricted to the cave. They must’ve been around all the time!” said Shen Zhe in a low voice.

The Pearl Chicken couldn’t have attracted them if they were dozens of kilometers away. The only explanation was that they had been prowling nearby!

Besides, he had heard a howl when he was fighting against the Silver Lion earlier.

“It seems that they didn’t return to their previous habitat after Ms. Bai escaped…”

According to Ms. Bai, the wolf pack and the wolf king had chased Ms. Bai to the mountaintop. They might’ve sensed the intruders the moment Shen Zhe and Zhao Chen reached the mountaintop.

No wonder Shen Zhe felt that they were being watched all the way.

“What do we do?”

Zhao Chen was shivering as he looked at him.

The wolf pack seemed certain that they couldn’t escape, so they simply stared at them as if they were cooked ducks.

“I’ll distract the wolf king so that you can escape!” said Shen Zhe solemnly.

Zhao Chen was there because of him. His conscience would remain forever guilty if anything were to happen to Zhao Chen.

“Distract the wolf king? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”

Zhao Chen was rather shocked.

His friend was in stage seven and had grasped a battle technique. However, a wolf king and hundreds of iron-toothed wolves were their enemies…

How could Shen Zhe defeat them?

He would definitely be shredded by the wolves if he charged at them.

“I’m a fast runner! Besides, you’re also experienced in being chased by dogs; it should be easy for you to deal with the general iron-toothed wolves if I distract the wolf king. There may be a chance for you to escape…” said Shen Zhe.

“You…” Zhao Chen clenched his fists.

“Cut the crap. Do what I said!” Shen Zhe waved his hand and took a deep breath before he glared at the iron-toothed wolf king.

The wolf king was much larger than normal wolves. The magnificent pressure from the beast was even greater Ms. Bai’s.

“Iron-toothed wolf, the woman who caused you trouble last time was my teacher. That had nothing to do with the person behind me. Just come at me…”

Shen Zhe roared and unleashed all his power. He felt that he was a giant made of iron.

“Hoooooo!”

The iron-toothed wolf king didn’t charge at him; it simply roared.

Sha! Sha! Sha!

The wolf pack split apart and a Silver Lion walked over through that passage.

It was exactly the one that had fought against Shen Zhe earlier, but its look was a far cry from the previous intimidator it was. It was Swollen and bruised, obviously badly wounded.

The Silver Lion was followed by a few daunting iron-toothed wolves which seemed to be escorting it.
