Chapter 104: Section 105: Luring and Killing the Blue Dog Fox Wolf


    Zhenjin realized the true specialty of the Strong Life White Rhinoceros and while excited, also felt somewhat heavy-hearted.


    The Strong Life White Rhinoceros had not died, and with it, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf had eliminated the Flying Squirrel group, enlisting many into its ranks, securing a profit without loss.


    “Where is Zong Ge now?”


    “I deliberately left many obvious tracks along the way.”


    “Could it be that he encountered some mishap on the way?”


    Zhenjin grew increasingly anxious.


    ...


    As time passed, the power beside the Blue Dog Fox Wolf grew stronger, making Zhenjin’s assassination plan more difficult to execute.


    Once the Strong Life White Rhinoceros came back to life, it practically buried its head into the pile of food.


    It ate a massive amount of food, consuming all the tree fruit and grass leaves in the pile, leaving only the meat behind.


    Still not satisfied, the Strong Life White Rhinoceros started grazing on the grass on the ground.


    “It seems that although its recuperative healing is strong, it also consumes a great deal of energy within its body. Every time it recovers, it urgently needs external nutrition replenishment.”


    “Woof woof woof.” Right then, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf let out another bark.


    The bat monkeys and Flying Squirrels, hearing the command, scattered in all directions.


    They plucked the grass and tree fruit and gathered them by the mouth of the Strong Life White Rhinoceros.


    To hide his identity, Zhenjin went with the flow and did the same thing.


    It was his first time feeding a Silver Level wild Magic Beast, and the feeling was quite novel.


    With the help of these beasts, the Strong Life White Rhinoceros no longer had to move around painfully. It stayed put with an endless supply of food delivered straight to its mouth.


    After eating for quite some time, the Strong Life White Rhinoceros finally stopped feeding.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf then issued a command for the bat monkeys to grab the remaining Flying Squirrel corpses in their hands or pile them up on the Strong Life White Rhinoceros’s back.


    “This Blue Dog Fox Wolf is actually starting to store military rations!” The more he observed, the more Zhenjin feared the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.


    The troop set off again.


    Perhaps because it had just had a hearty meal, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf knew that the beast group’s combat power had greatly decreased, so it deliberately slowed down the pace.


    During the journey, they encountered two bat monkey groups and one Flying Squirrel group, most of which merged into the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s ranks.


    By evening time, the Demon Beast Army had arrived near a hill.


    The size of the army was now even greater than when they attacked the camp this morning.


    “The Blue Dog Fox Wolf has to be killed. As long as it lives, it will be able to subdue many Magic Beasts and launch continuous attacks on us!” Zhenjin’s desire to kill grew even deeper.


    The hill loomed high, with caves at its base.


    Three Monkey-tailed Brown Bears, all Silver Level Magic Beasts, lived in the caves.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf had its eyes on them and hid among the bushes to observe for a long time.


    “If the Blue Dog Fox Wolf were to subdue these three Monkey-tailed Brown Bears, the increase in strength would be too much,” Zhenjin worried.


    “But, this is also an opportunity!”


    After such a long time, Zhenjin no longer harbored any hope for Zong Ge’s arrival.


    He decided to initiate the assassination plan.


    “First, let the Blue Dog Fox Wolf deal with the three bears and weaken its strength. Then I’ll transform into a Silver Spear Scorpion and lure it to subdue me.”


    If not, Zhenjin, as a Silver Level gun scorpion, joining the Demon Beast Army too early might be used by the Blue Dog Fox Wolf to deal with the three Bears in their prime.


    However, what Zhenjin did not expect was, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf did not directly confront the three Bears.


    It first used a small part of the bat monkeys and Flying Squirrels to lure away the other two, leaving only the youngest Monkey-tailed Brown Bear behind. Then it led the main force to siege it.


    The Strong Life White Rhinoceros became the main force against the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear. Both Silver Level Magic Beasts were of the large type, their clashes resonating with great might.


    The Monkey-tailed Brown Bear stood up on its hind legs, even taller than the Strong Life White Rhinoceros. Its searing claws could easily pierce the Strong Life White Rhinoceros’s outer rhino hide.


    Yet the Strong Life White Rhinoceros was a tad heavier. When it charged, the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear did not dare to take it head-on but had to dodge proactively.


    The two were evenly matched, but don’t forget the Blue Dog Fox Wolf at the side commanding the bat monkey and Flying Squirrel army.


    The bat monkeys and Flying Squirrels occasionally rushed in to help the Strong Life White Rhinoceros, harassing or attacking the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear.


    The Monkey-tailed Brown Bear did kill many bat monkeys and Flying Squirrels, but this also allowed the Strong Life White Rhinoceros to seize opportunities to attack. It remained at a disadvantage with no chance to turn the tables unless the two Monkey-tailed Brown Bears that were lured away returned in time.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf continued to bark commands while releasing a fragrant scent.


    Finally, after six demon-level bat monkeys and Flying Squirrels died, the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear was defeated, its morale dropping to the limit. First it turned to flee, but after not running far, it slowly tapered its pace, remaining in place.


    A few breaths later, it was completely attracted by the fragrance, slowly turned back, approached the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, lay down on the ground, and exposed its neck to the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, showing submission.


    “The Demon Beast Army has grown again!” Zhenjin sighed in his heart.


    All throughout, the other two Monkey-tailed Brown Bears never returned.


    The difference between having intelligence and not was too great.


    For the Blue Dog Fox Wolf to deal with other man-made magical beasts was like a dimension-reducing blow.


    However, next, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf didn’t go to subdue the other two Monkey-tailed Brown Bears, but instead had the bat monkeys scavenge the cave, pulled out many blocks of ore, and then led the troop away, settling nearby to rest.


    “This wolf is definitely a qualified commander; it knew the exact combat state of the entire army.”


    Zhenjin followed the main force, with the bat monkeys around him starting to heal each other.


    They used ultrasound to cauterize their wounds, thereby stopping the bleeding.


    As for the Strong Life White Rhinoceros, it had already stopped the bleeding on its own due to its Recovery Power. And shortly afterward, the blood and flesh wounds on its body began to crust over.


    “In a little while, the scabs on the rhinoceros might just fall off. It’s as if time itself has accelerated!”


    The newly subdued, limping Monkey-tailed Brown Bear began to devour ores voraciously.


    It could heal itself rapidly by consuming a large quantity of ores. Zhenjin had a profound, life-and-death understanding of this fact.


    Meanwhile, the most dazzling performer, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, lay quietly on the ground, unmoving with its eyes tightly shut, and emitting weak breaths.


    “It seems very tired.”


    “Is it because it has been frequently emitting scents, especially after subduing the second Silver Level Demon Bear?”


    Zhenjin also keenly observed that the outer circle of bat monkeys began to show some of their natural monkey behavior again, becoming more scattered and less cohesive than before.


    “These are the first batch of bat monkeys. It has been roughly ten hours since they absorbed the scent.”


    “In that case, the duration of the scent’s effectiveness is less than ten hours. That’s because, in the meantime, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf has repeatedly emitted its scent and conquered many beast packs. These bat monkeys also replenished their scent absorption during this process.”


    After spending nearly a day with the main forces, Zhenjin finally obtained the intelligence he desperately wanted at this moment.


    “I can’t wait any longer,” Zhenjin stealthily slipped to the outskirts and, seizing the right moment, dashed into the forest.


    After distancing himself from the Demon Beast Army, Zhenjin transformed, mutating into a green lizard.


    He spat out a ball of acid onto a stone.


    The acid quickly corroded the stone, forming a hemispherical depression on its surface.


    Then, he transformed into a gun scorpion, immersing the scorpion tail spear into the stone bowl.


    Zhenjin was experimenting; he wanted to maximize the threat of his scorpion tail.


    The acid couldn’t corrode the scorpion tail, but it also couldn’t stay on the spear point for long.


    Zhenjin’s attempt failed.


    “Wait a moment, I have one more transformation,” Zhenjin looked at his scorpion tail and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck.


    He thought of the green-variegated poisonous moss.


    He could transform into this highly toxic plant.


    The next moment, the Demon Crystal in Zhenjin’s heart consumed more energy, and a peculiar blood light flickered on the scorpion tail.


    After the crimson light faded, the golden scorpion tail sprouted a layer of green moss.


    “Success!” Zhenjin rejoiced inwardly; this was his first time trying such an endeavor.


    In the form of a Silver Spear Scorpion, Zhenjin began charging toward the Demon Beast Army.


    Soon, the bat monkeys in the corps cried out in alarm.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf quickly opened its eyes, lifted its head, and listened to the bat monkeys’ cries.


    Following that, it barked a few times and took off running, starting a chase.


    The bat monkeys, Flying Squirrels, and rhinoceroses all followed closely behind.


    “That wolf is actually running? Isn’t that too cautious?” Zhenjin quickly noticed this and felt quite frustrated.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf was slippery; if it kept dodging, Zhenjin’s beheading plan might fall through.


    Zhenjin had many transformation options, but the strongest was still the Silver Spear Scorpion, followed by the Black Iron Green Lizard.


    “Is it because I’m at the Silver Level that the Blue Dog Fox Wolf chose to retreat?”


    “What if I become the Black Iron Green Lizard?”


    Zhenjin shook his head.


    Becoming the Black Iron Green Lizard, the likelihood of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf retreating on its own was slim. But Zhenjin couldn’t confront the Blue Dog Fox Wolf in this form. The Strong Life White Rhinoceros alone could make Green Lizard Zhenjin unable to escape.


    Zhenjin could also become the Fat Ball Flying Fish to hide his tracks. But the Blue Dog Fox Wolf had bat monkeys by its side, which didn’t rely on sight but rather used echolocation.


    The Fat Ball Flying Fish couldn’t allow Zhenjin to stealthily approach the Blue Dog Fox Wolf; he would likely be besieged by the bat monkey group before that and possibly torn apart by the Black Iron Bat Monkeys.


    “I won’t give up just like that!” Zhenjin chose to persist.


    After several pursuits, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf finally stopped fleeing and instead charged toward Zhenjin. Sёar?h the N?vel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Zhenjin was momentarily overjoyed, only to then find himself in a predicament.


    He had to confront the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear and the Strong Life White Rhinoceros, two great Silver Magical Beasts, while also wary of a potential sneak attack from the Blue Dog Fox Wolf. Lastly, swarms of bat monkeys and Flying Squirrels continued to harass him, launching sneak attacks from time to time.


    Relying on his tough scorpion shell, Zhenjin gritted his teeth and held on for quite a while until his shell was covered with claw marks. He then began to retreat.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf barked twice, straining its weakened body to emit a strong scent again.


    Deep down, Zhenjin remained indifferent, but on the surface, he showed hesitancy and reluctance.


    Then, he followed the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear’s example and obediently turned back, crawling toward the Demon Beast Army.


    As the Blue Dog Fox Wolf barked, both the Strong Life White Rhinoceros and the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear ceased troubling Zhenjin and actively cleared a path for him.


    And so, Zhenjin arrived in front of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, lying on the ground with his scorpion tail drooping, no longer poised to strike.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf seemed very excited; at the brink of exhaustion, it had managed to subdue a third Silver Magical Beast—its luck was too good!


    It circled Zhenjin, observing its newly recruited subordinate from all sides.


    In the moment the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s gaze drifted, Zhenjin suddenly attacked; his giant pincers stretched out and forcefully clamped onto the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s tail.


    The tail was so fragile it almost got clipped off by Zhenjin in one snatch, causing the Blue Dog Fox Wolf to let out a earth-shattering scream of pain.


    It turned to face Zhenjin, its instinctive reaction not to flee but to pounce!


    But its invincible blue fangs managed only to indent the scorpion shell slightly, leaving a few tooth marks.


    Zhenjin was overjoyed, and his scorpion tail shot out like lightning.


    The Blue Dog Fox Wolf tried to dodge with all its might, but its left eye was still pierced by the scorpion tail!


    “Die!!” Zhenjin roared in his heart.
