"Find the heat source!"
After releasing the Red Queen, Xu Long gave the order.
There were more wolves here than he had imagined. Xu Long had raced over a hundred meters, yet he still couldn't see the edge of the pack.
"Master, there's a very strong heat signature 340 meters ahead and to the left."
The Red Queen's voice rang out, and Xu Long immediately raced in that direction.
These wolves were mediocre fighters; any D-rank reincarnator could easily beat them to death.
But a change in quantity led to a change in quality. The situation was already beyond what a few D-rank reincarnators could handle.
The only way was to catch the ringleader first. Once he killed the wolf king, the situation before them would collapse on its own.
Guided by the Red Queen, Xu Long soon found the wolf king.
The wolf king lived up to its title: majestic, mighty, and so handsome it could split the sky.
It was over four meters long and two meters tall.
Bright moonlight shone on its burly body, while its sharp teeth and claws gave off a cold glint.
"Awooo!"
The wolf king raised its head and howled at the sky. When the sound reached its wolf underlings, it drove them into an even greater frenzy.
The wolf king spotted Xu Long as he approached.
But as the undisputed overlord of this region, the wolf king paid no mind to a mere human and continued issuing orders to its underlings.
"What a stupid dog!"
Seeing how arrogant the wolf king was, Xu Long chuckled and charged straight at it.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Dozens of plum blossom darts and Spiral Needles made of high-speed steel shot toward the wolf king, threatening to tear it to pieces.
The wolf king didn't dodge. Instead, it gave its fur a vigorous shake.
The high-speed steel projectiles, which could easily tear an ordinary person apart, landed on the wolf king like a fist striking cotton, causing no damage whatsoever.
"Awooo!"
The wolf king howled again and glanced at Xu Long, its expression plainly mocking.
"Damn, you're looking down on me?"
Xu Long was genuinely a little angry. A wolf was looking down on him-if he could endure this, what couldn't he endure?
"Take this! Overbearing Dragon Repents!"
He opened with a killing move, aimed straight at the wolf king's head.
The movements of the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms were simple and direct, but its techniques were astonishingly powerful.
This set of palm techniques was fierce and violent, the ultimate in hardness and yang, and just the cure for all manner of flashy tricks.
A terrifying force rushed straight at it, and a look of shock appeared on the matchlessly arrogant wolf king's face.
If this palm strike hit, even it would be gravely injured.
Without a moment's hesitation, the keen instincts it had gained from countless battles made it choose to dodge immediately.
Boom!
The move was backed by tremendous force, its power utterly terrifying.
The wolf king dodged the palm strike on instinct, but it couldn't guard against the impact that followed.
The force struck the ground, blasting a crater two meters across into it.
Stones sprayed and dust filled the air. The enormous impact tossed the wolf king's rear into the air, and Xu Long planted a vicious kick right on it.
"Aw!"
Its cry was filled with anger, unwillingness, and deep despair.
Xu Long's kick had gone astray, nearly turning the wolf king into a wolf queen.
Bang!
Its huge, heavy body slammed hard into the ground. The wolf king's legs trembled, and its body shook wildly beyond its control.
One successful strike, and no mercy!
Xu Long sprang up and delivered another vicious kick.
"Awooo, awooo, awooo!"
Cock broken, balls crushed, tears flying!
As its body flew through the air, the wolf king thought of many things amid the excruciating pain.
My dozens of wives and concubines, each as beautiful as a flower-I can't bed them anymore!
My hundreds of well-behaved, adorable pups will have to call me Mom from now on!
Er Gouzi, who's been eyeing the wolf king's position all this time, might take advantage of the darkness to climb on top of me!
The wolf king was heartbroken. Its life as a wolf seemed bleak, its future uncertain, and the whole world had lost its meaning.
And all of this was that damned human's fault!
"Awooo, awooo, awooo!"
The wolf king roared furiously at the sky, wishing it could tear Xu Long to pieces.
Then it felt something being stuffed into its mouth.
A little sticky, a little leathery, like the small piece of rotten meat it had snatched from a wild dog's mouth to survive when it was young.
"What's this?"
The strange taste stirred the wolf king's painful memories, and for a moment it became lost in them.
But the wolf king was still the wolf king, and it soon came to its senses.
Unfortunately, it was jolted awake against its will: an utterly terrifying stench suddenly erupted in its mouth, nearly blowing the top of its skull off.
"Awooo, awooo, awooo!"
Its screams were piercingly shrill. After suffering the attack of that dreadful biochemical weapon, the wolf king passed out on the spot.
Foam poured from its mouth, and its body twitched involuntarily, as though it had been violated by the thousands of vicious wolves in the entire pack.
"Holy shit! Is it really that powerful?"
Even Xu Long was startled as he looked at the wolf king he had taken down with a single smelly sock.
He couldn't say whether he was happy or sad; he just felt utterly embarrassed.
If word got out that he had subdued the wolf king with a smelly sock, his reputation would be ruined.
"Although its balls are crushed, it's not like they're unusable! Bah, it's not like they can't be restored! Even if it's down to its last breath, the Main God can save it."
Xu Long muttered to himself, took out the Dog Collar, and put it on the wolf king.
Although he didn't know its exact stats, this wolf king's overall strength was definitely at D-rank, and it was among the best of that rank at that.
If he hadn't kicked it in the vital spot earlier, he probably would have needed quite a while to beat it into submission.
Xu Long decided to take the wolf king back. Even if he didn't use it in battle, it could still guard the house.
The Dog Collar could only control D-rank creatures; above D-rank, its success rate would drop sharply.
Besides, Xu Long wouldn't remain at D-rank for long. Once he missed this chance, finding a suitable one later wouldn't be so easy.
That brought him back to the problem: the Dog Collar was already around the wolf king's neck, but how was he supposed to wake it up?
Xu Long grabbed its head and shook it hard. Its tongue flopped out, but it still didn't wake up.
"What now? If I don't get back soon, those people will probably be dead."
Xu Long thought for a moment, then pulled out his other sock.
"Awooo, awooo, awooo!"
Its piercing screams were filled with anger, unwillingness, and deep despair.
The wolf king sprang to its feet, killing intent surging to the heavens around it.
It would go on a killing spree. It would tear that hateful human apart and devour him.
It would...
The wolf king fixed its dark green eyes on Xu Long. It didn't know why, but the more it looked at him, the more pleasing he seemed.
"He's been gone for ten minutes. He didn't run away, did he?"
"He definitely ran away. There are so many wolves, there's no killing them all!"
Chaos reigned all around, and the thick stench of blood kept forcing its way into their nostrils.
The wolves attacked with unbridled ferocity, the closest of them having pressed to within five meters.
These wolves were all around three meters long and could reach the group in a single stride.
Their sharp claws were as deadly as steel blades. Unless one's constitution attribute had been reinforced to over 50 points, one would be disemboweled in an instant and die without an intact corpse.
Yet aside from those with aspirations and convictions, the vast majority reinforced their strength attribute first, followed by agility and spirit.
Fewer than one in a hundred chose constitution.
