Chapter 103: Section 104: Strong Life White Rhinoceros


    As Zhenjin hesitated whether to initiate his own plan, a series of shrill cries from bat monkeys echoed from the forest ahead.


    Zhenjin felt a stir in his heart, realizing, “It seems we have encountered a new group of bat monkeys.”


    “Woof, woof, woof!” the Blue Dog Fox Wolf barked a few times.


    The bat monkeys around Zhenjin flew out in droves, quickly disappearing into the bushes.


    After a while, the bat monkeys returned, bringing along even more of their kind.


    It was just like before when three bat monkeys dragged Zhenjin into the large troop. But this time, the number of bat monkeys was greater, over twenty of them.


    ...


    The bat monkeys landed beside the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, which began wagging its tail, emitting a strong fragrance.


    Under the influence of the scent, the Demon Beast Army of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf immediately gained over twenty new members.


    “Woof, woof, woof.” The Blue Dog Fox Wolf issued another command.


    The new recruits all leaped out, returning to their own groups.


    Moments later, they came back, bringing along over forty other bat monkeys.


    Clearly, the persuasion of these familiar faces was much more effective than that of the first batch of bat monkeys.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf repeated the process, subduing these bat monkeys as well. Sёarch* The n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Following that, it led its troops straight into attack. Most of the bat monkeys living in the forest ahead had already sworn allegiance, leaving only a dozen or so bat monkeys, including the Black Iron Bat Monkey leader.


    Under the olfactory assault of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, not a single bat monkey could escape; all of them became new comrades by Zhenjin’s side.


    “This efficiency is just too high!” Zhenjin couldn’t help feeling a chill in his heart as he witnessed this scene.


    The man-made magical beasts on the island were uncountable, meaning that the Blue Dog Fox Wolf could replenish its forces everywhere; there was a limitless supply of troops.


    Just this time, it had compensated for thirty percent of the losses incurred during the attack on the camp.


    Under the leadership of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, the Demon Beast Army continued forward.


    The forest was teeming with bat monkeys; it was the largest community of such wild beasts.


    In one morning, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf encountered three bat monkey troops. With some effort, its team gained five Black Iron Bat Monkey leaders, more than a dozen Bronze Flying Squirrels, and a multitude of common bat monkeys. The army had basically returned to its former presence.


    By noon, they encountered a group of Flying Squirrels.


    When the Demon Beast Army intruded into the Flying Squirrels’ territory, they were immediately attacked.


    Zhenjin was no stranger to these Flying Squirrels. He had once ordered the exploration team to cut down trees to make bows, set up the battlefield, and lured and hunted a group of Flying Squirrels, which had helped the team successfully solve the problem of food scarcity.


    Now, the group of Flying Squirrels encountered by the Blue Dog Fox Wolf was even larger, with three Black Iron Level Flying Squirrel leaders and one Silver Level Flying Squirrel chief.


    “Flying Squirrels can deliver electric shocks; a close-quarters encounter will greatly damage the bat monkey group.” Zhenjin was secretly pleased, familiar with the two Magic Beasts, and thus capable of assessing the strength of both sides.


    Unlike the bat monkey group, there were no Flying Squirrels in the Demon Beast Army, so there was no peaceful recruitment from the frontline.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf suffered heavy losses, which was very beneficial for the people in the camp.


    But at the next moment, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf let out a series of barks.


    The leader of the bat monkey group, a Black Iron Bat Monkey, flew up into the midair, took a deep breath, and then they all launched a sonic assault.


    The extremely piercing sound caused the air itself to ripple with translucent waves.


    Just as the Flying Squirrel group was about to rush in front of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, they were immediately engulfed by the sonic waves.


    The entire cluster of squirrels suddenly collapsed; most ordinary Flying Squirrels were directly killed by the sonic attack, the Bronze Flying Squirrels let out pitiful shrieks, and the Black Iron Flying Squirrels struggled, only the Silver Flying Squirrel leader kept its staggering posture and persisted in the charge.


    Flying Squirrels have weak vision but excellent hearing, this advantage became the key to overturning the battle under the sonic waves.


    “Bark! Bark!” With another command from the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, the nearby Silver Rhinoceroses immediately charged.


    The Flying Squirrel leader quickly dodged, but unfortunately, many squirrels behind it were trampled underfoot by the rhinoceroses, dying tragically on the spot. Among the dead was a Black Iron Flying Squirrel leader.


    Seizing the opportunity, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf wagged its tail, and its fragrance quickly enveloped the battlefield.


    The resistance of the Flying Squirrels rapidly diminished, and although the Silver Flying Squirrel continued to fight back, clinging to the Silver Rhinoceros’s body and fiercely biting into the rhinoceros’s right hind leg, unleashing a burst of intense electricity.


    After letting out a high-pitched and short scream, the Silver Rhinoceros shuddered violently and then loudly toppled to the ground.


    It was knocked unconscious, with wisps of white smoke coming out of its open mouth and nostrils, its body internally electrocuted in an instant.


    “Great! This Silver Rhinoceros is going to die.” Zhenjin said, delighted.


    But at that moment, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf suddenly sprang into action.


    It had been standing still from the moment the two beast groups started fighting, barely moving an inch.


    Now it abruptly switched from stationary to motion, faster than a loosed arrow!


    It was Zhenjin’s first time witnessing the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s full-powered charge, covering a hundred meters in just a few breaths with ease.


    It reached the side of the Silver Rhinoceros, giving the Silver Flying Squirrel a vicious swipe with its paw.


    The Silver Flying Squirrel was sent flying, crashing to the ground and rolling a great distance away.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf pounced on it, opening its jaws wide for a bite!


    The Silver Flying Squirrel, seemingly drained from the recent effort of electrifying the rhinoceros, fell into a feeble state and couldn’t retaliate in time, let alone unleash another electric shock.


    Just like that, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf clamped down fiercely with its jaws, its sharp wolf teeth instantly piercing and mangling the Silver Flying Squirrel.


    After a dreadful scream, the life force of the Silver Flying Squirrel plummeted to nothing, and it was killed by the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s bite.


    “Doesn’t it want to subdue the leader of the Silver Flying Squirrels?” Zhenjin wondered.


    At the same time, the young man secretly rejoiced, “This encounter with the Flying Squirrel group led to the Blue Dog Fox Wolf losing a Silver Rhinoceros, only recruiting two Black Iron Flying Squirrels, and very few Bronze Level and ordinary Flying Squirrels survived. It’s suffered a great loss!”


    The Flying Squirrels that were still alive, under the fragrance of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, now one by one submitted.


    The two sides, which just moments ago were locked in battle to the death, now obediently aligned with the Blue Dog Fox Wolf and coexisted peacefully as if it had always been that way from ancient times.


    Once subdued by the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, different species could coexist harmoniously.


    This was rather terrifying.


    “The even more terrifying thing is that the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s command could directly control the Black Iron Bat Monkeys to launch a collective sonic attack.”


    “Why didn’t they use this tactic when they attacked the camp earlier?”


    “Was it because they were afraid of being discovered and ambushed for a beheading during on-the-spot command?”


    Zhenjin speculated and once again felt a wave of palpitations at the wisdom of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.


    Whether it was Zong Ge or Zhenjin himself, once they discovered the existence of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, they would definitely charge and strive to eliminate this most critical existence.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf clearly knew this, so it had always kept itself well hidden.


    “Thinking carefully, in terms of timing, the first opponent the Blue Dog Fox Wolf led the Demon Beast Army against was Zong Ge and Sanda’s group,” Zhenjin recalled the entire sequence of events.


    “Zong Ge drove away the Silver Rhinoceros, and the formidable combat strength of Sanda and the others might have caused the Blue Dog Fox Wolf to misjudge.”


    “Since they were all humans, it likely didn’t realize the divide and conflict between Zong Ge and Xi Suo’s factions. Thus, it didn’t show itself during the attack on the camp but commanded from a far distance, not utilizing the full strength of the entire Demon Beast Army.”


    “Perhaps it considered joining the battle itself, but I had already appeared by then, and my darts could threaten the Black Iron Bat Monkeys. Seeing such a battle situation, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf ordered a retreat. Hence, the Silver Rhinoceros only charged once before withdrawing. Maybe it was too far away, or maybe I didn’t notice, but in any case, I didn’t hear the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s howling.”


    “Afterward, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf went to hunt the shipwright, Xi Suo, the Big guy, and others, but it was repelled by the joint efforts of myself and Zong Ge.”


    “Today, during the logging, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf again took charge of the camp but finally suffered heavy losses, forcing it to keep its distance and replenish its forces everywhere.”


    In the previous attacks, Zhenjin, Zong Ge, and the others had not detected the presence of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf. It was not until the attack this morning that Zhenjin heard a dog bark, catching on to something amiss.


    “Woof, woof, woof.” Next, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf began to command the bat monkeys to clean up the battlefield.


    The bat monkeys gathered the bodies of the dead Flying Squirrels, while those that surrendered entered their own nests, moving out all the stored food and offering it to the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.


    Soon, there was a pile of food in front of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.


    The food was placed next to the Silver Rhinoceros, which remained motionless.


    Under the watchful eyes of all the beasts, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf began to enjoy its lunch—the Bronze Flying Squirrel—first.


    Its sharp teeth easily tore through the Flying Squirrel’s flesh and snapped its bones.


    Before long, the Bronze Flying Squirrel was reduced to a pile of bones and remains, with most of its flesh, innards, and brain matter ending up in the stomach of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.


    Only after the Blue Dog Fox Wolf barked twice did the bat monkeys start moving, selecting food from the pile to eat.


    From this, Zhenjin discovered that the bat monkeys were actually omnivorous. Because some bat monkeys began gnawing at the Flying Squirrels, while others picked up ground tubers and nuts.


    Zhenjin didn’t want to appear too unusual, so he followed the bat monkeys to the pile of food. Not wanting to eat raw Flying Squirrel directly, he chose a piece of tree fruit.


    He had eaten this kind of tree fruit before. After leading the exploration team to exterminate the Flying Squirrel group, there were many such fruits in their food storage. After confirming the fruit wasn’t poisonous, Zhenjin found it to be quite delicious, sour and sweet.


    However, his actions at this moment aroused the curious gazes of the surrounding bat monkeys.


    Zhenjin took a bite of the tree fruit.


    “Ah ptooey ptooey ptooey!”


    His entire tongue went numb in an instant, and an intense bitterness attacked his heart from his tongue, almost causing him to vomit on the spot.


    The surrounding bat monkeys, seeing Zhenjin in such an embarrassing state, couldn’t help but squeak and laugh wildly, constantly hopping around, uncontrollably joyful!


    Some even pushed Zhenjin, looking at him as if he were a fool.


    “It seems that this kind of food is harmful and not beneficial to bat monkeys, or else it wouldn’t give them such a painful taste experience.”


    Zhenjin didn’t stoop to the level of these wild beasts; he threw away the half-eaten tree fruit in his hand and turned his attention to the numerous Flying Squirrel corpses in front of him.


    Zhenjin couldn’t help but be tempted, “Although the Silver Flying Squirrels were eaten by the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, once these Flying Squirrel corpses are absorbed by the Demon Crystal in my heart, I’ll be able to transform into a complete Black Iron Flying Squirrel. I wonder what the experience of discharging electricity is like?”


    “And this Silver Rhinoceros is also close to death. Although it doesn’t have any special skills, it’s still a Silver Level Magic Beast. If I could absorb it, no matter what it transforms into, it would be an enhancement.”


    The Silver Rhinoceros had been motionless on the ground ever since it was electrocuted.


    The white smoke that had been billowing from its mouth and nose was no longer there, its eyes still rolled back, its breath declining more and more, now almost completely vanishing.


    “It’s really about to die.”


    Despite being tempted, Zhenjin did not act rashly.


    Because after the Blue Dog Fox Wolf finished eating the Flying Squirrel leader, it lay down beside the Silver Rhinoceros, seemingly preparing to eat the rhinoceros next.


    But next, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf remained motionless.


    As time passed, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf quietly lay beside the Silver Rhinoceros, as if waiting for something. The other bat monkeys and Flying Squirrels, without further orders from the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, gathered around it and did not disperse.


    After about fifteen minutes, the Silver Rhinoceros suddenly stirred.


    Zhenjin thought he was seeing things.


    But immediately thereafter, he sensed the Life Breath of the Silver Rhinoceros rapidly intensifying. Previously barely perceptible, but its breathing soon became as robust as usual.


    Next, the Silver Rhinoceros’s rolled-back eyes suddenly spun back into place.


    Its massive body gave a violent shudder, and then its limbs seemed to regain strength as well; after flailing about, it miraculously stood up once again.


    “Does this Silver Rhinoceros have such strong Recovery Power?”


    Zhenjin was quite shocked.


    The Silver Rhinoceros was nearly dead, the electric shock it received must have charred its insides. But still, it tenaciously survived with its flesh’s self-recovery ability, it came back to life!


    The Silver Rhinoceros’s standing made the surrounding bat monkeys and Flying Squirrels disperse. Before this, many bat monkeys and Flying Squirrels had already been standing on the rhinoceros, treating it as a dead thing.


    Only the Blue Dog Fox Wolf slowly stood up, with an unsurprised demeanor.


    Zhenjin suddenly realized, “So, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf wasn’t intending to eat the rhinoceros; it was waiting for the rhinoceros to recover.”


    “This Silver Rhinoceros looks unremarkable, but its Recovery Power and life force are too strong. It might as well be called the Strong Life White Rhinoceros!”


    “If I could absorb it and possess that level of self-recovery ability, wouldn’t I no longer have to worry about getting hurt?”
