Ye Tianxin felt a sense of despair. If he were to be devoured by the wolf pack, it would be better to have stayed where he was and died at the hands of the Divine Dragon. At least then, he could have had a glimpse of what the Divine Dragon looked like. Being torn apart by wolves was just too humiliating.
"I can't let this happen; I need to think of a way..." In his panic, Ye Tianxin lost his composure. He had more than ten recovery Spiritual Pills in his bag, but he completely forgot about them and instead racked his brain for some ridiculous plan.
After a moment of contemplation without coming up with anything, the Wolf King continued to gloat, growling incessantly while its blood-red eyes scanned Ye Tian with a greedy, bloodthirsty glint.
"Go ahead and look! Once I recover, I'll take your inner pill and wipe out your Wolf Clan. Let's see if you can still laugh then!" Ye Tian cursed bitterly, unaware that since he approached this mountainous area, his perception of the beasts had gradually become anthropomorphized. In other words, he was treating the beasts like humans or unconsciously seeing himself as one of them.
However, Ye Tian did not notice this subtle abnormality. He continued to threaten the Wolf King: "I'll take your inner pill and roast it to eat; I'll make soup from it; I..."
At this point, Ye Tian suddenly remembered why he had ended up in such a predicament—he was searching for the Spirit Beast Inner Pill. But why did he need to find the inner pill? Because the effects of the Spirit Beast Inner Pill were far superior to those of ordinary pills... Spiritual Pill...
"Spiritual Pill! How could I forget about the Spiritual Pill!" Ye Tian exclaimed excitedly as he slapped his forehead. However, when he instinctively raised his hand, it slowly fell back onto his forehead due to his overwhelming weakness.
The Wolf King was startled by Ye Tian's sudden excitement and twitched slightly. Clearly, its recovery speed was faster than Ye Tian's; it would likely be fully healed in about half an hour.
Since Ye Tian had found a lifeline, there was no need to continue bickering with the Wolf King. He reached into his bag and fished out five recovery-type Spiritual Pills, swallowing them whole. Although it seemed like bickering, in reality, the Wolf King did not retort; it simply couldn't.
As the pills entered his mouth, pure and gentle spiritual energy spread throughout his body quickly. Wherever it flowed felt like tiny insects crawling around—tingling and very comfortable.
Ye Tian estimated that it would take about an hour for him to fully recover since these Spiritual Pills were just ordinary ones. However, that was sufficient for him because all he needed was to be able to move freely before the Wolf King recovered and the wolf pack arrived. Achieving that would only take about two incense sticks' worth of time.
Though he felt more confident now, Ye Tian still pressed his ear against the ground to listen carefully. At this moment, the howls of the wolf pack were faintly audible, but they would likely take another quarter of an hour to reach him.
"Ha ha! Still watching me? Just wait; I'll definitely skin you alive!" Ye Tianxin felt good and sneered at the Wolf King. Although the Wolf King possessed some intelligence, it did not realize that Ye Tian had consumed Spiritual Pills to regain strength. Therefore, facing Ye Tian's sneer did not intimidate it at all; instead, it continued to growl as if trying to mock him back.
"Don't come begging me later!"
Ye Tian knew he would definitely recover before the Wolf King did. By then, taking its inner pill would be a piece of cake. Just thinking about this made Ye Tian happy; although he had been frightened earlier, it was fortunate that there were no real dangers involved—much better than having to fight against the entire wolf pack just to obtain a Spirit Beast Inner Pill.
Tonight, there was no wind, and the dark clouds in the sky were so thick that they obscured the moonlight, leaving only a faint corner visible.
Ye Tian looked up at the sky in vain; he had wanted to calculate the time but was unable to do so. However, this did not affect his mood, as he could clearly feel his strength gradually recovering due to the effects of the medicine, and he was now able to reach about thirty percent of his full capacity.
A howl echoed from a distance, the sound of a wolf pack, which was much clearer than before.
The Wolf King heard its companions drawing closer, and a fierce light flickered in its eyes. It panted heavily, but this time it was not from exhaustion; it was from excitement.
"That foolish dog is still laughing; soon enough, you'll be the one crying," Ye Tian said with a laugh and a curse upon seeing this.
The Wolf King seemed to understand the word "dog" and knew what it meant. After Ye Tian's remark, its eyes glinted even more fiercely, clearly feeling insulted.
"Oh, you have some dignity, huh? You don't like being called a dog? If you really had guts, why did you hide among the wolves during the earlier fight?" Ye Tian continued to taunt the Wolf King playfully since he knew he would fully recover before the wolf pack arrived.
However, the Wolf King likely did not understand this statement. Still, it was quite perceptive and probably sensed that Ye Tian was mocking it. It bared its fangs and displayed a menacing demeanor.
Seeing this, Ye Tian continued to laugh and curse while the Wolf King kept showing off its ferocity. The two of them were locked in a battle of wills.
After about two incense sticks' worth of time, Ye Tian exhaled a breath of foul air and then stood up abruptly, brushing off the dust as he walked toward the Wolf King.
The Wolf King was filled with fear; it never expected that this human would recover so quickly.
"Feeling fierce? Why don’t you keep being fierce? Why aren’t you using your fangs to scare me?" Ye Tian squatted down in front of the Wolf King and pried open its mouth, tapping its sharp fangs with his fingers.
Insulted, the Wolf King immediately growled in anger. By this time, it had also recovered somewhat, and its growl was noticeably louder than before.
The Scorpion-Tailed Wolf had extremely keen hearing and smell. Although the wolf pack was still ten miles away, they could already sense the low growls of their leader. They raised their necks and howled in response, expressing their anger at the insult to the Wolf King while also conveying their loyalty.
Ye Tian turned his head to look around, estimating that it would take at least three incense sticks' worth of time for the wolf pack to reach this place. He then relaxed and prepared to retrieve the inner core.
Crack...
At the moment when it let its guard down, the Wolf King snapped its jaws and bit down hard on Ye Tian's finger. Even though Ye Tian reacted in time, a piece of flesh was still scraped off by its exceptionally sharp fangs.
His finger immediately bled profusely; had he been even a moment slower, it would have resulted in his finger being bitten off completely.
Ye Tian was furious and reached out to pry open the Wolf King's mouth again. However, the Wolf King had already regained much of its strength, at least enough to bite down with force. Despite Ye Tian's repeated attempts to pry it open, he was unsuccessful and couldn't help but curse, "You're still so stubborn even when death is imminent!"
This statement perfectly described the current situation of the Wolf King, and after scolding it, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh.
Awooo!
Just as Ye Tian was laughing, a gray shadow suddenly darted out from the forest, moving swiftly toward his throat.
Ye Tian was startled; he had made a mistake earlier by underestimating the pack's hierarchy. The Scorpion-Tailed Wolf that had suddenly lunged at him was clearly one of the more powerful members of the pack, which explained why it could leave its companions far behind. It was only now that Ye Tian understood why the White-Furred Wolf King had been "bantering" with him. The reason was simple: it was fully aware of its subordinates' abilities and wanted to catch Ye Tian off guard or provoke him into staying and confronting it while waiting for the capable Scorpion-Tailed Wolf to come to its aid.
Realizing this surprised Ye Tian; the White-Furred Wolf King's cunning was deeper than that of many humans. Given time, transforming into a human would not be difficult for it.
However, surprise aside, there was something far more important than surprise that needed to be dealt with: the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf had already lunged within half an inch of him, ready to bite his throat.
Bang!
With a swift motion of his arm, accompanied by a muffled sound, the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf was sent flying backward, crashing into a large tree before finally coming to a stop.
Just now, Ye Tian had used Jujutsu; at the critical moment, he had leaned back just enough to narrowly avoid the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf's bite while simultaneously striking out. Although Thunder Palm could only unleash three layers of power, killing a Scorpion-Tailed Wolf was not particularly difficult.
However, what surprised Ye Tian was that after being struck away, the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf did not die. Instead, it shakily got back up again, indicating that it was indeed more formidable than other Scorpion-Tailed Wolves; it must be one of the White-Furred Wolf King's elite warriors.
Though it managed to rise again, it was clear that it was on its last legs—weak and with a slightly caved-in skull indicating that it had sustained serious injuries.
Awooo!
The White-Furred Wolf King was somewhat taken aback upon seeing its most valued subordinate fail, and it immediately let out a hoarse howl, likely issuing orders for another attack.
Ye Tian would not give it the chance. Even severely injured, it remained a threat; no one could guarantee whether it would muster its last ounce of strength to protect the Wolf King.
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian charged forward and struck down on its head once more. After the sound of Thunderstorm, although the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf did not suffer the gruesome fate of having its head explode, its green eyes rolled back, clearly indicating that survival was impossible.
Howl! Howl!
The White-Furred Wolf King was furious, but not at Ye Tian; rather, it was directed at the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf that had fought to save it and died in the process. Its expression seemed to scold the latter for its incompetence, showing no signs of sorrow whatsoever.
"Truly hopeless!" Ye Tian scoffed and shook his head. This Wolf King was indeed a tyrant; not only did it fail to cherish the life of its loyal general, but it also berated him harshly simply because he could not save it, completely disregarding the general's dedication and loyalty.
"You are nothing but a disgrace, even if you were to take on human form!" Ye Tian pointed at the Wolf King and shouted one last remark before unleashing three strikes that killed the Wolf King, tearing open its abdomen to obtain a pure white Inner Dan.
With the loss of the Wolf King's Inner Dan, the aura of the Wolf Clan's ruler instantly dissipated. In the distance, a mournful howl erupted from the wolf pack, echoing through the forest and striking fear into hearts.
Ye Tian furrowed his brow; he truly could not understand what merits this Wolf King possessed that made so many wolves adore and pledge their loyalty to it.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Ye Tian took off running. His strength had not fully recovered, and he was certainly no match for the wolf pack. Now that he had obtained the Wolf King's Inner Dan, he needed to leave quickly because it would not be long before the wolves came hunting for him.
