Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Wolf King
"What on earth is going on, is Ma Han dead or not, and what’s with that last young man who stayed behind, could he be Ma Han’s accomplice?"
"What accomplice, that’s a comrade who walks the road to the underworld together, use your brain, it doesn’t matter if there are two or twenty of them, it’s just a matter of dying sooner or later."
"That’s right, actually from the beginning, Ma Han was doomed to die. The only difference was whether he would die at the hands of Zhou Yuan or by the Wolf Brigade."
"Just wait, it won’t be long before two corpses are hung up on the flagpole at the gate."
At the entrance of the Wolf Brigade Headquarters, there’s a very symbolic thing, that is a giant flagpole ten meters long, made entirely out of Demon Beast bones.
This flagpole is usually bare, but sometimes, there would be a few corpses hanging from it now and then.
These are the people who dare to oppose the Wolf Brigade.
And Ma Han, under the watchful eyes of the public, killed one of their squad leaders, and rumors say that he had killed another one in the mountains before, so his fate was sealed.
But in the next moment, the bustling crowd suddenly came to an abrupt halt, and the scene became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone had an expression as if they had seen a ghost, every face was filled with shock and amazement, eyes wide and mouths agape. 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
In their line of sight, two people were actually walking out from the Wolf Brigade Headquarters.
Not anyone else, it was Lin Feng and Ma Han, the ones they were just discussing and believed to be certain to die.
The crowd suddenly exploded into an uproar.
"How is this possible, they’re not dead?"
"No way, although the leader of the Wolf Brigade is not present, the captain of the Wolf Cavalry is a genuine Great Martial Master, and along with the Ninth Layer Demon General, plus a dozen fully-armed and most elite Wolf Cavalry, how can it end up like this?"
"Could it be that the Red Wolf Captain showed great mercy and let them go?"
Everyone looked bewildered, they just couldn’t understand how Lin Feng and Ma Han, two men destined to die, could so boldly walk out of the Wolf Brigade, afterwards, some bold ones couldn’t contain their curiosity and rushed inside to check. What they found was nothing but ruins left from the battle, except for a few desiccated corpses.
"This, is this the Red Wolf?"
"And this, isn’t this the cavalry captain?"
Each person gasped in shock, looking at those desiccated corpses, feeling chills in their spines.
...
"Lin Feng, I didn’t expect your strength to be so powerful. It hasn’t been long, and you’ve already broken through to this extent, you can even contend with a Great Martial Master."
Ma Han’s face was full of astonishment. Everything that happened just now still had him somewhat unable to recover.
Lin Feng smiled; "Let’s live around here for the time being, it’s a pity we didn’t find Lu Keke."
Ma Han fell silent for a moment, "Lu Keke must have been taken away by their leader. Since the leader isn’t at their headquarters, he must have gone into the mountains. Lu Keke’s Chewing Grass Deer Star has recently communicated a Talent Skill that greatly enhances healing effects, so I think, for the time being, her life is not in danger."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng said, "Even so, we must rescue her immediately."
Ma Han nodded, "But considering the vastness of the Hu Ben Mountain Range, how can we know where they are? Are we supposed to just sit here and wait passively? You should know, anything that requires their leader to personally take action is definitely no small matter. I estimate they won’t return for at least ten days or half a month."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "That’s precisely why I didn’t kill those few Wolf Cavalry."
Ma Han’s eyes lit up, "You mean..."
...
Inside the Hu Ben Mountain Range, a twenty-or-so-person team, not numerous, yet each a strong and elite soldier, and every one of them a martial master. Among them, no less than five were of the Ninth Layer. Leading them was a shrewd middle-aged man, without bulk or tattoos, looking like an ordinary businessman. Yet, everyone showed him utmost respect.
He was the leader of the Wolf Fang Battalion, known as the Wolf King.
"Big brother, here’s some water."
A small team captain respectfully offered a bowl of clear water.
The Wolf King nodded, "How much further to our destination?"
"It’s close. The place where my men found that Fierce Jackal was just three miles from here. After crossing over the next mountain, we should be able to see the marker we left. Big brother, this is a pregnant she-Fierce Jackal."
The captain’s eyes sparkled as he spoke.
The Wolf King nodded as well, "This time your squad has done a good job. The Fierce Jackal is exceptionally bloodthirsty and savage, and their numbers are quite rare. They are a type of wolf Demon Beast that can directly confront leopards and tigers head-on. They’re considered to be a very formidable existence within the Hu Ben Mountain Range. Each adult is of the Demon Level. Right now, encountering a pregnant one is an opportunity that comes once in a blue moon for us. If we can wait for this Fierce Jackal to give birth before we take action, we could not only get the materials from an adult Fierce Jackal, but most importantly, we could get a litter of Fierce Jackal offspring. With a bit of training, our Wolf Fang Battalion’s Wolf Cavalry can expand even further, and these will be stronger than the ordinary Green Wolves - Fierce Jackals!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd’s faces were flushed with excitement, and they too were thrilled. The Wolf Cavalry were quite impressive, gallivanting on their mounts every day. It was because their squad had stumbled upon a Wolf Nest without adult Green Wolves to guard it; they captured all of them and easily trained them to become mounts, including a mutant Red Wolf.
This incident had long been the envy of many other squads.
Meanwhile, on the other side, a girl sat with dust on her cheeks and her hair in a tangled mess. However, from the small medicine pouch hanging at her waist, it was clear that this was Lu Keke. Right now, her hands were emitting a greenish glow as she was healing a wounded person.
"Girl, how old are you this year?" The injured man couldn’t help but try to touch Lu Keke’s cheek.
"Alright, Dazhuang, the boss said no one is allowed to lay a finger on her. If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you," another person said. Upon hearing this, the man immediately withdrew his wandering hand.
Lu Keke gave both men a look of disgust, then went to the side, hugged her knees, and stared blankly at the moon.
In her mind, she suddenly recalled that night, that young man, also sitting outside by himself, silently watching the moon. At that time, she thought he was strange – it was just the moon, was it really that beautiful?
But now, Lu Keke felt the moon truly was beautiful.
Flap flap
It was at this moment that a noise was heard.
