Wolf King Cave Entrance.
Qin Shou took small steps to the entrance, his sensitive nose twitching slightly, putting his mind at ease.
Inside the cave, he smelled the scent of many wolf pups, so stepping inside shouldn't result in the Wolf King kicking him out.
*Humph! Who isn't a baby too?*
Thinking this, Qin Shou put on a naive expression, widened his eyes, and clumsily raced into the cave.
Though the cave was pitch black, for the eyes of the Sha Po Wolf Clan, it was nothing.
"Awoo awoo..."
The pups' tender howls echoed in the cave, accompanied by deep wolf growls, making Qin Shou a bit surprised.
*It seemed that there was more than one adult Sha Po Wolf in there.*
Using the Big Big Wolf Transformation Card, Qin Shou also naturally understood the meanings of these wolf howls.
The adult Sha Po Wolves took on roles similar to caretakers, feeding milk to the pups.
After a moment, Qin Shou reached the depths of the Wolf Cave, where he saw several large mother wolves lying down to rest, with dozens of Sha Po Wolf pups playing joyously around them.
Looking at the pups with sizes comparable to ordinary adult wolves, Qin Shou glanced at himself.
*He was indeed malnourished.*
At this point, one of the pups noticed Qin Shou's presence, immediately leaving its companions to come to his side, sniffing around with its eyes full of wonder.
"Awoo..."
The pup howled at Qin Shou, then grabbed him by the scruff and ran over to the mother wolf nearby.
It nudged its head against Qin Shou, indicating him to drink milk.
*Qin Shou was vexed.*
*Who wanted to drink milk?*
*Did he believe I would blow up his head?*
The mother wolf noticed the pitifully small pup Qin Shou, casually pulling him close to her belly, urging him.
"Awoo..."
Qin Shou let out a wolf roar, signaling he wasn't hungry, then leaped over the mother wolf to continue moving deeper.
These mother wolves were only Danger Level 8, presumably not the Killing Wolf King.
Qin Shou speculated that the Killing Wolf King should be a Dangerous Nine Stars Monster.
Once he handled the Wolf King first, this Sha Po Wolf Group would become an ideal place to farm monsters.
*Just thinking about it made him a little excited.*
"Awoo..."
Suddenly, a deep growl emerged from the darkness, followed by an enormous wolf claw slowly pressing down from above.
"Not good, I've been discovered!"
Qin Shou's heart jolted, a bright blue Star Power surged throughout his body, causing soil to splatter as he narrowly dodged the incoming claw.
Instinctively looking up, Qin Shou saw a silver-white giant wolf akin to a small mountain, bowing down to gaze at him, its blue eyes emanating light.
Killing Wolf King, Horror-level Monster!
Qin Shou sensed the violent energy contained within those eyes, shocking him internally.
*The Killing Wolf King was unexpectedly a Horror-level Monster, making his plans seem futile.*
The greedy snake was not truly of the Dragon Clan, faced with a Horror-level Monster, it could only meekly await its fate.
Even with all his Beast Cultivation, Qin Shou wouldn't be a match for this terrifying Wolf King.
*Plans had to change...*
*No, plans were canceled, find an opportunity to slip away.*
Meanwhile, the giant claw missed its mark, causing the silver-white giant wolf to pause slightly, its eyes filled with wonder.
"Awoo..."
The giant wolf growled softly, its blue eyes remained gentle, lacking the violence Qin Shou anticipated.
*Qin Shou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, thankful in his heart.*
*Luckily, the Star Power cultivated by humans and the energy within monsters both derived from Earth Core Energy, so the difference wasn't vast.*
*Otherwise, he would've certainly been doomed this time.*
*Since he hadn't been exposed, it implied the Wolf King was merely playing with him...*
*Old wolf being playful!*
Just as he was thinking this, the Killing Wolf King suddenly lowered its body, with the blue light in its eyes flickering, as if pondering something.
"Awoo..."
After a moment, the Wolf King let out a low growl, summoning several mother wolves in the cave to come over, lowering their bodies, awaiting orders.
*Qin Shou was puzzled, as he saw the Wolf King suddenly push him with its giant paw, growling a few times.*
"Awoo awoo..."
Several mother wolves glanced at Qin Shou, then followed with their own confused growls.
"Awoo..."
On the side, Qin Shou was taken aback, understanding the Wolf King's intention.
Due to revealing his strength earlier, the Wolf King mistakenly thought that the young wolf pup already possessed Danger Level Six prowess and was considered a once-in-a-lifetime talent for the Sha Po Wolf Clan.
From now on, he was the key subject of training in the Sha Po Wolf Group.
*He was equivalent to a prince, destined to be the future king of the Sha Po Wolf Clan!*
Qin Shou twitched at the corners of his mouth.
*All those documentaries from the past life were for nothing.*
*The old Wolf King fostering the young Wolf King sounded so absurd.*
*Yet events unfolded precisely this bizarre way.*
*What have you learned from humans over these years?*
...
Outside the Wolf Cave, the Killing Wolf King slowly walked out of the entrance, letting out a long howl towards the sky.
"Awoo..."
Instantly, countless Sha Po Wolves glanced toward the Wolf King, lowering their bodies in response.
The Wolf King pushed Qin Shou forward, howling several times, and subsequently, many Sha Po Wolves rose to join in a long howl, welcoming the future king.
"Awoo..."
Qin Shou reluctantly joined in with a howl, feeling emotional internally.
*He initially aimed to be an undercover agent, yet against all wishes, accidentally became the group's favored member.*
*Life is like a play, regardless of whether you possess acting skills.*
*In truth, I'm a human!*
...
As night fell with a chilling wind, the howl of wolves sounded now and then.
Qin Shou, looking utterly dejected, walked out from the Wolf Cave, wiping milk stains from his mouth, gazing up with sorrow.
*Never could he have imagined that Qin Shou would end up having to drink wolf milk.*
He smacked his lips...
*Unexpectedly, the taste wasn't bad, it was akin to a divine enjoyment for this juvenile form.*
He realized that after digesting a bellyful of wolf milk, the Star Power within him was slowly growing stronger.
*Since it was this way, he might reluctantly accept nature's bounty!*
Qin Shou's face broke into a smile.
"Awoo..."
At this moment, several Sha Po Wolves dragged a gigantic Barbaric Bull Beast's corpse to the mountainside, catching Qin Shou's attention.
*Beef... hot pot!*
Thinking of hot pot, Qin Shou's legs transformed into shadows, frantically rushing to the Barbaric Bull Beast's corpse.
Seeing this, several Sha Po Wolves gently placed down the Barbaric Bull Beast's corpse, lowering their bodies, growling to show submission.
As the Wolf King-appointed future Wolf King, Qin Shou could genuinely do as he pleased.
"Swish!"
Qin Shou extended sharp wolf claws from his ten fingers; the claws flashed, cutting off a large leg from the Barbaric Bull Beast, shouldering it as he swaggered away.
From afar, Qin Shou's small stature was entirely obscured by the cow leg, making it appear as if the cow leg moved on its own to the uninformed.
Arriving at a cave on the mountainside, Qin Shou chased out the family of Sha Po Wolves residing there, occupying the cave alone.
*He could do whatever he wanted!*
Setting up a barrier to block the scent.
Qin Shou returned to his original form, drew out his tools, and began cooking.
*No chicken stew with mushrooms tonight; it's Barbaric Bull hot pot!*
Hot pot, a uniquely Huaxia culinary creation with a long history, suitable for all ages.
...
Under the night at the foot of the mountain, clusters of blood-red glimmers emerged in the dark, alongside deep-roaring sounds, advancing toward the mountain peak where the Sha Po Wolves resided.
The black clouds dispersed, and moonlight scattered upon the earth.
Under the silver gleam, the blood-red glimmer dimmed slightly.
Faintly visible were Two-headed Dogs, each with bone spurs and covered in a cyan hue, lurking beneath the night, constantly closing in on the mountain top.
And the source of the blood-red glimmers was the bloodthirsty eyes of these Two-headed Dogs!
