"So amazing... No wonder the Adventurer's Association designated the Wolf Territory as an extremely dangerous area... I didn't expect there would be so many wolves..."
Looking at the huge wolf pack of at least a thousand individuals, Fischl couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
You have to know that this is not an ordinary pack of wolves. As a pack of wolves blessed by the devil, even the wolf cubs whose baby teeth have not yet fallen out have excellent combat power. Those adult wolves are enough to rival the elite knights in the Knights Templar.
"Well, this opportunity is very rare. You must show your strength as the alpha wolf."
Si Luo chuckled and loosened his arms around the two girls' shoulders, speaking in a teasing tone.
Under Andrius's command, these wolf packs have regarded Ying and Fischl as the new alpha wolf. After all, although Andrius can also give commands from a distance, he still has certain limitations as he cannot be on the battlefield in person.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Ying responded eagerly, tightening the sword in her hand.
This was the weapon that Si Luo had given her before. In order to take care of her as a girl, the weight and size of the sword were specially reshaped, and it can also perfectly transmit the elemental force that she controls.
"Let's first determine the location of those black wolves."
Compared to Ying who only thought about fighting, Fischl was much more rational. After holding back Ying who was about to charge forward, the princess turned her head and called over a giant wolf.
This was also the leader of the wolf pack before. Not only was he extremely powerful, he also possessed a level of intelligence far beyond that of ordinary people.
"Go and confirm the location of the Black Wolf troop and the geographical environment around that location."
Because they were dealing with a very serious matter, and there were no outsiders around, Fischl did not continue using immature language, and spoke in a very serious tone.
"..."
The giant wolf nodded in a very humane way, then bowed slightly to show submission to Si Luo and the others, then turned around and ran quickly towards the high ground.
“Although I don’t know where those black wolves came from, they were able to disperse the wolf pack here…Even if they took advantage of the attack, they definitely have strong strength.”
"So instead of fighting head-on and causing too many casualties, it's better to see if we can cause some disruption or damage to them before the battle."
"Hmm! As expected of Fischl, a veteran adventurer is reliable!!"
Ying nodded, then looked at Fischl with admiration.
"do not do that!"
Her Royal Highness the Princess turned her head away with a slight blush on her cheeks, and subconsciously glanced at Si Luo out of the corner of her eye.
"Whether you are the princess or not, these wolves are so lucky to have a leader like you~"
Si Luo did not disappoint the girl. He chuckled and took Fischl's petite body into his arms, then lowered his head and gently touched her soft lips.
"Well…"
You have to know that she is now being watched by thousands of wolves, so after being stunned for a moment, Fischl quickly pushed him away, and then subconsciously hid behind Ying.
And Si Luo did not continue to bully her. Instead, he chuckled and teased Paimeng in his arms, while listening to the discussion of the two girls beside him.
This was also what Ying and Fischl agreed to. Unless their lives were in danger or the incident was beyond their ability to resolve, Si Luo would try not to intervene and let them handle it on their own.
...
An hour later, Ying and Fischl, who confirmed the whereabouts of the black wolf, left with the wolf pack, while Si Luo took Paimon to stay and returned to the arena where Andrius was.
Anyway, they have their own protection, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. He has also confirmed in advance that those black wolves are completely within their ability to handle.
"You won't blame me for not doing it myself."
"Of course... this is their experience..."
Andrius reappeared and responded calmly.
What it has always cared about is the survival of the entire tribe. As a proud king wolf, it does not think that sacrifice in the fight is unnecessary. What's more, this should have been a war that belonged to the wolf pack itself.
"I have nothing to do waiting anyway... How about playing with me for a while?"
Si Luo nodded, then chuckled and looked at Andrius.
"Since we met, it seems that you have never taken your eyes off me."
"If you don't mind my appearance as a remnant soul..."
Andrius, whose thoughts were exposed, paused for a moment, then slowly stood up from the ground.
"I hope you can accept my challenge!!"
Even when facing someone who frightens him, the proud Wolf King still retains the courage to challenge, even though he is just a remnant soul at this moment.
“Though I don’t mind…”
Anyway, whether it is in its prime or in a residual soul state, it makes no difference to me.
"But since you feel regretful, then..."
An invisible barrier suddenly enveloped the entire arena, covering the storm summoned by Andrius and the arena ground below.
Immediately afterwards, the wolf king's originally illusory body solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the temperature of the cold air in the air also dropped sharply, causing Paimeng, who was originally on Si Luo's shoulder, to shiver subconsciously, and then quickly hid in Si Luo's clothes.
Although with her current physical strength, she would not necessarily lose even if she had a head-on fight with Andrius.
"This is…"
For the first time, Andrius' voice was filled with violent emotions. Feeling the long-lost feeling of energy filling his body, this wolf king who had survived the Demon War until now had once again regained his peak state.
"That way, there won't be any regrets."
Si Luo moved his shoulders casually.
Come to think of it, apart from giving that Doomsday Beast a few punches at the Black Tower Space Station, he seemed to have not moved his body for a long time - of course, exercise in bed doesn't count, otherwise the difficult positions he and Black Tower played with would, in a sense, be more strenuous than fighting.
"I don't know how you did it...but..."
"I won't hold back!"
Andrius' mouth opened slightly, and the visible coldness even froze the air, turning the entire arena into a vast expanse of white. Then his huge body disappeared silently in the venue.
"..."
In order to prevent himself from being too bored, Si Luo deliberately blocked all his senses and suppressed his body's strength to a level similar to Andrius.
After confirming Paimon's safety through the ritual inside his robe, Si Luo no longer hesitated. He leaned back suddenly, dodging the attack from Andrius's sharp claws. He then grabbed its front paws and lifted it up with force, then threw it heavily to the ground.
"You really understand~"
Si Luo did not take the opportunity to pursue, but casually took a few steps back and provoked Andrius at the same time.
"Don't worry about the surrounding environment. I have already set up a barrier. No matter how we fight, it will not affect the outside world."
"..."
Andrius would naturally not be angry because of this level of provocation. Rather, it could be said that it now somewhat understood the thoughts of those humans who had challenged it in the past.
The King Wolf of the North Wind condensed a large amount of frost on the ground, and at the same time summoned a storm again that began to rage within the barrier. It then hid in the storm again and began to look for Si Luo's flaws.
Chapter 40: Solving the Black Wolf, the Wolf King's Dream
On the other side, Ying and Fischl led the wolf pack to the location of the black wolf. They first used the terrain to block the black wolf's retreat with huge rocks, causing the entire group to panic. Then they rushed forward and started a head-on confrontation.
Since the wolves here are Andrius's tribe, most of them have a certain amount of wind or ice elemental power, while the black wolf has all kinds of elements, and the attacks of its claws seem to be corrosive, which looks very dangerous.
However, various elemental forces were mixed together on the battlefield, and the elemental reactions produced after gathering directly triggered one explosion resonance after another.
Although the fighting power of the black wolves was somewhat beyond expectations, they had the advantage of being the first to strike. Coupled with Ying's unparalleled posture holding the sword, after just over ten minutes, the black wolves began to consider retreating.
However, their retreat had already been blocked, so they were forced into a corner little by little and began their final resistance.
Half an hour later, after killing the last black wolf, Ying leaned against the mountain behind him, panting. Looking at the long sword in his hand that was not stained with a drop of blood, he could not help but sigh.
"Huh... I didn't expect these black wolves to be so difficult..."
"The filth from the abyss will surely be crushed under the power of this princess."
"Miss, what you mean is that if your strength hadn't improved a lot recently, you would be in danger this time."
Oz still maintained his elegant posture, quietly resting on Fischl's shoulder, helping the girl convey her inner thoughts. That gentle voice made it impossible to associate it with the night crow that was summoning thunder everywhere just now.
"indeed…"
Ying nodded in agreement.
"I didn't expect that doing that kind of thing could actually improve my strength..."
"Anyway... things here should be over. I wonder what Si Luo is doing now."
Looking at the wolves licking their wounds around them, Ying found it difficult to feel happy for the first time.
Perhaps this is war. Although it was just a fight between two wolf packs, even though they had the upper hand, the wolf pack on this side still suffered nearly one-third of its casualties.
"Let's go back and take a look first."
...
When Ying and Fischl returned to the vicinity of the arena, what caught their eyes was the ice and snow storm that once again covered the entire arena.
“This is what happened…”
Ying's expression became a little more serious, especially when she realized that Si Luo and Paimon were not here, she obviously quickened her pace and rushed over.
However, just as they arrived in front of the cold wave that seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, the circular space in front of them suddenly dissipated, and then the scene inside the arena came into view.
The giant blue wolf with a solid body, like a domestic pet dog, was crawling in front of a figure in a messy manner.
"You still have a lot of room for improvement. I hope you can give me some surprises next time."
Si Luo stood in front of Andrius with a comfortable expression, and spoke with a chuckle.
It is obvious that although Andrius's combat power is not low for a demon god, he mostly relies on his own powerful abilities. In terms of skills alone, he is too immature.
"Well...it's my pleasure...man...Si Luo!"
Andrius lowered his head to him in submission - even the God of Wind, whom he once followed, had never caused him to have such emotional fluctuations.
Si Luo not only helped it recover its body, but also taught it combat skills... Most importantly, Si Luo also solved its uncontrollable cold constitution -
Although the aloof North Wind Wolf King does not get close to anyone, perhaps only the former Wind God knows that there is a warm fantasy in his dream.
"Well...but these blessings are not given to you for nothing. I hope you can keep your promise."
Si Luo didn't care much about Andrius' attitude. After all, for him, this was not even a piece of cake.
"This is what you are doing?"
At this time, Ying and Fischl also jumped into the arena and approached him with some doubt, as if they had not yet figured out the specific situation.
"Nothing, just a little idle talk."
Si Luo chuckled and turned around, looking at the girls' somewhat embarrassed posture, then reached out and touched Ying's head affectionately.
"As for you guys, it looks like things are going smoothly."
"Yes! All the black wolves have been eliminated without a single one left!"
Ying nodded, then looked at the giant blue wolf behind Si Luo who still had its head on the ground.
Compared to the somewhat unreal appearance when they first met, Andrius now seemed to have a real entity. His hair had become extremely three-dimensional, and the originally cold aura on his body had disappeared. There was even a warm and comfortable feeling.
"Thank you for helping the wolves..."
Andrius stood up from the ground. His tall figure was like a small mountain, bringing a great sense of oppression to Ying and the others.
But unlike his intimidating appearance, Andrius' voice was very friendly.
"You will be the wolf pack's closest companions from now on... and, although these are only insignificant rewards, please accept these gifts of gratitude."
Along with a cool breeze, two extremely sharp and huge teeth, as well as a blue crystal and a purple crystal appeared.
"This is?"
"This is my lost tooth... and a special crystal that concentrates elemental power..."
Andrius responded quietly.
"This type of crystal can refine the corresponding elemental power... Unfortunately, there are only two crystals that match your element."
In fact, this kind of crystal is more precious than Ying and the others imagined. Generally, crystals with elemental power are mostly used as energy, but this kind of top-level crystal is concentrated to the extreme, and the elemental power inside it is even exquisite enough to touch the realm of the devil.
Although just one pill wouldn't bring about an exaggerated improvement, it could at least allow them to take their strength to a higher level.
"The magic arrow of the night... It is calling out my holy name loudly, praying for the purple lightning of punishment to shoot down the enemy of fate!"
After hearing Andrius' words, Fischl moved away from Si Luo without hesitation, and then pressed the crystal directly on her Eye of God. As the electric arc spread, the girl's eyes lit up slightly, revealing a very excited look.
