The Wolf God's Gift (1)
Ren Fang, Langyue, and the Little Black Cat headed forward. Soon, they arrived at the mysterious place on the ninth floor.
There was nothing else in the mysterious place except for a huge golden wolf, which was crouching on the ground with its head facing upwards, seemingly howling at the sky.
The golden giant wolf was very majestic, looking like a proud emperor.
Langyue approached the golden giant wolf and respectfully saluted. This was the ancestor of the Wolf Clan, and as a descendant of the Wolf Clan, it was natural for it to show respect to its ancestor.
Ren Fang and Little Black also politely bowed to each other to show their respect.
"Hey, Langyue, call your ancestor out! Get him to agree to give this tower to Fanxin. He absolutely loves this tower!" the Little Black Cat urged. It had been friends with Fanxin for over a decade, so naturally it wanted to help Fanxin obtain Wolf Valley.
"I understand, but I can't guarantee whether it will work out or not."
Langyue nodded, glanced at the golden giant wolf, and said, "Ancestor, if your soul is still inside the golden giant wolf, please show yourself! We really want this tower, and we hope you can give it to us."
It said it three times in a row, and after it said it three times, it sat there waiting.
However, to its dismay, it waited for more than ten minutes, but the golden giant wolf did not react at all.
"Looks like this won't work," Langyue said helplessly.
"That's impossible. Fanxin could sense danger, then this giant golden wolf must be alive. Otherwise, how could it possibly threaten him?" the Little Black Cat asked, somewhat puzzled.
"That's true."
Langyue hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and began to examine the giant golden wolf, trying to find out the reason. If the tower were inanimate, Fanxin wouldn't be able to sense danger. The fact that Fanxin sensed danger meant that there was something strange about the tower.
After checking everything, Langyue still couldn't find anything unusual. It was immediately frustrated, unsure what to do.
"This is made of metal, isn't it!" The Little Black Cat approached the golden giant wolf, tapped one of its paws, and said.
"It looks somewhat similar, but I'm not sure if it is," Langyue said. It was somewhat distracted, as it had not yet discovered the secret of this tower.
"Give it a try!" the Little Black Cat said after a moment's thought.
"Hmm, what are you planning to do?" Langyue asked warily.
"I'm going to try burning it with a brown flame to see if it's really metal," the Little Black Cat immediately replied.
"No, absolutely not! This is my ancestor!" Langyue said firmly. As she spoke, she stood in front of the Little Black Cat to prevent it from causing any trouble.
"What kind of damn ancestor is this? Its descendants have come to see it, and it just ignores them. I think it's just a statue, nothing special. I'll just smash it!" the Little Black Cat shouted unhappily. It wanted to help Fanxin get to Wolf Valley, but now Wolf Valley was hostile towards Fanxin. However, they couldn't figure out why. Naturally, it was furious.
"Don't do anything reckless, or I'll fight you to the death!" Langyue glared and shouted.
"Fine, you want to fight? Who's afraid of who!" The Little Black Cat snorted and shouted.
"Then come on!" Langyue snapped, immediately launching an attack on the Little Black Cat. The Little Black Cat showed no mercy, retaliating fiercely. A cat and a wolf were locked in a fierce battle.
Seeing the two fighting fiercely, Ren Fang helplessly rubbed her head, too lazy to try and stop them.
Because they have different ideas, even if she tries to stop them, they might still look for an opportunity to fight. So, she simply ignores it and lets them fight until they get tired and stop.
She searched the area on her own, looking for any clues.
Ren Fang thoroughly examined the golden wolf king's body but found nothing suspicious. She frowned, stared for a long time, and then her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Could it be that they're going to use a blood oath to bind it to the master?" Ren Fang recalled something that happened when Fanxin obtained the Wind and Sand Tower; it seemed he had used a blood oath to control it. If Wolf Valley was doing the same, wouldn't that make things much easier?
"I have an idea!" Ren Fang shouted.
Langyue and the Little Black Cat, who had been fighting fiercely, suddenly stopped. They rushed to Ren Fang and asked curiously, "Method? What method?"
"Blood oath," Ren Fang said.
"Blood oath? Is that reliable?" Langyue asked skeptically, as it had never heard of such a thing before.
"I've seen it work, and it's very effective. However, I don't know if it will work in Wolf Valley. But, we can't lose anything by giving it a try, and what if it really works?" Ren Fang said.
"Alright, let's give it a try! But whose blood should we use?" Langyue asked.
"This is Wolf Valley, the slumbering place of the Wolf Clan. Your blood should be the most reliable." Ren Fang pondered for a moment before saying.
"Alright then!" Langyue said without hesitation. It went to the golden giant wolf, then bit its front paw and dripped the blood onto the wolf's body.
Langyue hadn't held out much hope, after all, it had never heard of this being effective. However, it suddenly discovered that after it dripped its blood, the golden giant wolf emitted a radiant light, shining brightly and appearing extremely sacred.
"Hmm, it works?" Langyue's eyes lit up, and then it didn't hold back, drawing out a lot of blood from its body and spraying it on the golden giant wolf.
A moment later, the light grew stronger and stronger, so bright that they couldn't open their eyes. Even with their eyes closed, it was still extremely dazzling.
After a long while, when they felt the light was no longer so dazzling, they immediately opened their eyes and looked ahead.
They discovered that the golden wolf statue was gone, replaced by a real golden wolf, brimming with life, curiously observing them.
"Are you the Wolf God?" Langyue stepped forward and asked.
"You are a descendant of the Wolf Clan, not bad, your bloodline power is not weak." The golden giant wolf glanced at Langyue and said, "That's right, I am the Wolf God, but I am a deceased Wolf God, now I am just a wisp of a remnant soul."
"Oh, I see. Now that you're awake, I want to discuss something with you. Could you hand over Wolf Valley to us?" Langyue asked immediately, as if remembering something.
"Heh, you want it? Fine, take it! We're already dead, this is useless to us." The golden giant wolf pondered for a moment, then said, "I saw everything you did inside the tower. Since you helped me regain my freedom, I'm going to give you something as a gift, and I hope you won't refuse."
