The Tower of Vicious Wolves (1)

"Are you sure this is okay?" Ren Fang asked worriedly.

This wolf was already no ordinary creature. It had actually managed to produce so many wolves. Although they were not real wolves, they definitely had formidable attack power, because she could sense danger coming from them.

They knew nothing about the wolf, and going straight to its den was like a lamb walking into a wolf's jaws. It was an extremely dangerous move.

"Heh, it's all right. We're not easy to bully either. If they really think we're soft persimmons they can squeeze, they'll have to pay a heavy price," Fanxin said with a laugh, waving his hand.

He looked at the little wolf as he spoke, telling it that if it wanted to target them, it had better weigh its own strength first. If it wasn't strong enough, it had better behave itself.

The little wolf was very displeased to hear Fanxin's threat, but it said nothing in response.

"All right, I'll let Little Black know right away." Seeing that Fanxin insisted, Ren Fang said no more. She took out the Den Den Mushi and called Little Black, telling it to come over immediately.

After the call, she put the Den Den Mushi away.

Before long, Little Black flew over from the harbor and landed on Ren Fang's shoulder.

Seeing so many wolves there, Little Black froze for a moment.

"What's going on?" Little Black asked in confusion.

"Don't ask for now. Just follow us," Fanxin scolded Little Black. Then he turned to the little wolf and said, "All right, lead the way!"

The little wolf nodded and dismissed the pack of wolves it had created. Then it led Fanxin, Ren Fang, and Little Black Cat toward the tallest mountain on the island.

After walking for nearly two hours, they reached the foot of the mountain.

The little wolf then struck the ground with its right forepaw. The earth immediately split open, and a huge pit appeared before everyone. It was so deep that its bottom could not be seen.

"Just follow me and jump down," the little wolf said, glancing at Fanxin and the others. With that, it jumped in first and quickly disappeared from sight.

Fanxin took Ren Fang's hand, and the two jumped down together.

Fanxin had worried that they would fall too fast and injure themselves on landing. But after entering the pit, he discovered a buoyant force acting on him, slowing his descent. He was descending steadily.

"There's a buoyant force? That's good. I was really worried just now."

Only when Ren Fang saw the buoyant force below did she breathe a sigh of relief. She had been about to use her flight armor, because the bottom couldn't be seen, and there was no telling how deep the pit was. Jumping down like that without knowing anything would have been courting death.

"All right, focus and watch your surroundings. We don't even know why that little wolf came looking for us," Fanxin said.

"True. It came looking for us out of nowhere. It's really strange," Ren Fang said.

"All right, we might have to fight later, so prepare yourselves," Fanxin said. He didn't know what would happen either, but he knew no one came calling without a reason. Whatever the little wolf wanted with him, it definitely wasn't going to be easy.

"Mm, I understand," Ren Fang replied with a nod.

"Little Black, use your Mechanical Eye to take a look below. See what's down there," Fanxin said to Little Black.

He couldn't see anything with his naked eyes; everything around him was pitch-black. He could only rely on his senses to judge whether it was safe.

"Okay, don't worry. I've been monitoring our surroundings the whole time," Little Black Cat replied with a nod.

"Good. From now on, stay on full alert. Let's explore this underground place and see just what this wolf's background is." With that, Fanxin said no more.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally felt their feet touch the ground.

"This way. Hurry and follow me." The little wolf's voice rang out as soon as they landed.

Fanxin nodded and immediately led Ren Fang after it.

After passing through a pitch-black corridor, they finally entered a place with light.

As soon as they entered, Fanxin saw countless wolves lying there with their eyes closed, apparently asleep.

When they walked in, all the wolves woke up and looked at them hostilely, as though they had seen their enemies.

"None of you cause trouble, or the wolf king won't be happy," the little wolf scolded the wolves growling in their throats. The wolf king had sent it to bring Fanxin here; if it failed to protect Fanxin and the others, the wolf king would surely be furious.

When the hostile wolves heard that Fanxin was the person the wolf king wanted, they immediately stopped daring to target him and the others, because they were afraid of the wolf king. They lay back down on the ground and went to sleep.

"Let's go," the little wolf said to Fanxin, then continued forward.

After passing through five or six enormous rooms, they followed the little wolf to a huge tower. It had nine stories and was covered in countless colors. There was no telling whether it had always been that way or someone had made it so.

A gigantic wolf lay in front of the tower. Its fur was golden, and its whole body radiated a dazzling golden light.

"Wolf king, I've brought the person you wanted," the little wolf said respectfully, looking at the giant golden wolf lying on the ground.

Hearing this, the giant golden wolf slowly opened its eyes and looked at Fanxin. Fanxin noticed that its eyes were golden too, which was very strange.

"Hey, wolf king, what exactly did you want me for? We don't seem to have anything to do with each other, do we?" Fanxin asked curiously.

"Heh, aren't you afraid of me?" the giant golden wolf asked with a laugh.

"Tch, I haven't provoked you, so why should I be afraid of you? Besides, I know you brought me here because you definitely need to ask me for something. That gives you even less reason to attack me, right?" Fanxin said with a smile.

"Heh, you're quite a bold young man. That's right, I do need you for something. But if you fail to do it for me, you will die here. Understand?" the giant golden wolf said coldly.

"Oh, so you're planning to attack me, is that it?" Fanxin said, frowning slightly.

"That's right. No one knows about this place. Even if the navy came here to investigate, they wouldn't discover our existence. We don't want others to know, because if they did, they might threaten our existence. Of course, if you help us accomplish this task, we won't attack you even though you know about us," the giant golden wolf said. "But if you fail, we won't let you leave, because you might reveal our existence."
