Chapter 97: The Survival of the Wolf Clan
Gliding? After thinking about it, there didn’t seem to be anywhere to use this.
But having a few of these strange items can’t hurt.
On the other hand, Zane looked at the black beetle the size of a pen cap in his palm, unsure of what to say.
Sacred Demon Beetle!
With such a powerful name, yet it was actually such a small bug.
He was really afraid of accidentally squashing it.
Sacred Demon Beetle:
Rarity: None
Level: 1
Health: 3
Physical Attack Power: 0
Magical Attack Power: 0
Physical Defense: 0
Magical Defense: 0
Skills: None
Strength: ☆
Agility: ☆
Intelligence: ☆
Spirit: ☆
Stamina: ★
Its attributes matched its diminutive size.
A super weak panel, with growth even lower than the basic skill of the summoner’s little butterfly.
This thing… is hopeless, right?
Sigh…
Sensing his master’s frustrated gaze, the little beetle lifted its head, its curved horns raised high, looking rather impressive.
The design wasn’t bad; at least it was his first pet…
No, it seems it can’t even be considered a pet, since it can’t enter the pet space.
Does that mean it can’t be revived? This reward is really troubling.
…
After finishing the Tower of Forgetting, everyone seemed quite tired and expressed a desire to find a more relaxed place to level up, so as usual, they split into two teams to train at Shattered Rock Ridge.
The monsters at Shattered Rock Ridge were between levels 23-24, which still provided a fair amount of experience for them.
Moreover, after leveling up, the effects of level suppression were almost negligible, so fighting wouldn’t be that difficult.
While fighting earlier, they used quite a few Calm Heart Pills, and almost all the potions given by Cute Orange had been consumed.
They urgently needed to gather more Focus Stones, and by the way, level up Cute Orange to a level 4 Alchemist.
However, many players had already flooded into Shattered Rock Ridge, and players’ levels were catching up over time, which meant that Focus Stones would soon be discovered by others. They had to hurry up and gather more resources while there was still time.
Zane and Starry wouldn’t participate.
On one hand, they were already completely familiar with the rock monsters’ battle patterns and were fully capable of leveling up on their own. On the other hand, Zane, at level 24, and Starry, at level 26, couldn’t gain much experience in Shattered Rock Ridge and had to find a new place.
Starry sat on the Gray Wolf, while the little beetle quietly rested on Starry’s head, and despite her being ridden by this woman, her master surprisingly remained calm.
Zane had tried to kill a few small monsters to level up the beetle, but its experience bar didn’t budge at all, and it seemed eager to jump out, only to be quickly caught back by Zane.
Come on, with 3 health points, jumping out might directly lead to death!
After circling around the city, there were indeed many quests available, but almost all were from the surrounding low-level maps.
It seems that high-level quests aren’t that easy to come by.
Speaking of which, it had been some time since he last checked on the Gray Wolf King; he didn’t know how many times it had been killed by players?
Grey Ridge Plain was the closest leveling area to Yunshui City, and on the first day players flooded in, they already harbored ill intentions toward the Gray Wolves. Not to mention, it had almost been a week, the level 15 Black Iron grade boss was hardly enough to be seen, it was likely that at the moment of respawn, it would attract a large number of players to besiege it.
Ten minutes later.
Zane arrived at the Grey Ridge Plain, which was already crowded with players. The call for companions from the Gray Wolf had become ornamental because once a Gray Wolf respawned, it would be targeted by frenzied players.
Suddenly, a deep, low growl came from behind him. “Fengchen Yanhua! We’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”
Zane was startled.
Turning around, he unexpectedly saw the Gray Wolf Mick.
The one who warned him not to go near the forbidden areas.
“It’s you?”
“Indeed, thanks to you liberating the forbidden area, that ominous voice in my mind has finally dissipated,” Mick’s voice was filled with emotion.
He wasn’t wrong; you truly were a mole!
But it seemed he was back to normal now.
“Do you know where that guy has gone?”
Mick obviously knew who he was referring to. “On that day, I sensed his power growing weaker and he headed northwest.”
“Northwest? What’s there?”
“… I’m not sure, I’ve practically spent my entire life in Grey Ridge Plain, never ventured to further places.”
“Alright…”
“Enough about that, I came to find you for something important.”
“What?” Zane doubted whether he misheard.
“To be precise, the leader has something to ask of you.”
…
After crossing through inconspicuous mounds, he could no longer see other players.
“The leader is right inside, you can go in by yourself,” Mick’s expression was tense; he needed to keep watch here, or it would be over if humans discovered him.
“Okay!” Zane nodded.
Looking at the cleverly arranged stones around, one really wouldn’t notice anything behind them unless they came close.
“Child… you’ve finally come,” the Gray Wolf King’s voice was filled with weariness, no longer possessing the commanding power it once had over the pack.
“Leader, what has happened?”
“Alas,” it sighed helplessly, “We Gray Wolves have occupied this Grey Ridge Plain for too long… too long.”
“I once thought we could stand against humans.”
“But… I was wrong. These damned adventurers have nearly wiped out the Gray Wolves completely!!” The Gray Wolf King’s eyes flickered with raging fire but quickly extinguished.
“…” Zane’s heart skipped a beat, good heavens, is he about to give a PK quest? It’s not his style to actively kill ordinary players.
“Your pet is no longer the same; I can feel the terrifying power contained within her, but unfortunately, not every Gray Wolf has the capability like you.”
“So—”
Is it going to be issued? Right, it seems I just saw quite a few of Yuhua’s people; they also have an organization leveling here.
In that case… let’s use them as numbers!
“I request you, in the name of the leader, to help our Gray Wolf clan explore a new place to survive!”
Sure enough, is it a combat mission? Alright, I accept… what? The script is wrong!
“Ding”
System Notification: The Gray Wolf King has issued you an S-level quest “Survival of the Wolf Clan,” will you accept?
“…” S-level quest?
“Leader, shouldn’t we teach those adventurers a lesson?”
“No, they are too numerous and powerful for you alone to handle.”
I can!
“The Grey Ridge Plain is still too close to human cities. I think if we can find a new place to live, the situation will improve,” the Gray Wolf King pondered.
“Even if you say so… where am I supposed to look…”
“I heard there is a polluted human village to the west, where the undead creatures have already left. I don’t know why, but this must be a chance given to us by fate! You can go there and try your luck!” The Gray Wolf King spoke passionately.
Damn! That village was liberated by me!
“If… you’re unwilling to accept, that’s fine; it’s just that the Gray Wolf clan may cease to exist…” Its expression was one of infinite sadness.
Playing the emotional card? Aren’t you supposed to respawn?
System Notification: From now on, if the Gray Wolf King is killed more than 10 times, the Gray Wolf branch storyline will be permanently closed.
!!
Zane quickly checked the forum; the respawn time for the Gray Wolf King was… 6 hours!
This means they only have 2 and a half days left?
Suddenly, he heard a commotion from players behind him, “See! I told you there’s definitely something here; the boss originally respawned here. No wonder we haven’t seen it for more than 6 hours.”
