Wolf Howls echoed from afar, initially distant but quickly growing clearer. Ye Tian glanced eastward and saw birds startled into flight from the dense forest, through the gaps in the branches, revealing hundreds of Scorpion-Tailed Wolves rushing toward this direction, led by a massive Scorpion-Tailed Wolf nearly ten feet long, entirely snow-white.
The speed of the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf was remarkable; it would occasionally stop to howl, seemingly directing its pack. Once the other wolves caught up, it would sprint ahead, reappearing at the front of the group in no time.
The Wolf Howls sounded mournful, and naturally, the giant bear engaged in battle with the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf could hear them. The bear's reaction was one of vigilance, though it showed little fear. In contrast, the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf appeared quite terrified yet somewhat expectant; it crouched low to the ground, whimpering softly as if welcoming a king's subjects.
Despite the sudden actions of its enemy, the giant bear did not seize the opportunity to attack. Instead, it stood upright again and roared toward the wolf pack.
"Ha ha, still a gentleman bear," Ye Tian mused as he shifted his gaze from the giant bear to the wolf pack, feeling a surge of excitement.
The Wolf King, as its name suggests, is the king of the Wolf Clan. The current behavior of this Scorpion-Tailed Wolf likely stemmed from pressure exerted by the Wolf King, or perhaps it feared punishment for straying from the pack; in any case, it looked quite frightened.
It was afraid because it was a wolf, but to Ye Tian, that Wolf King was merely a "friend" who would grant him a Spirit Beast Inner Pill.
In an instant, the wolf pack had traversed several dozen miles and arrived within less than a mile of their location. The giant bear seemed to sense that it was outnumbered by wolves; however, it showed no intention of retreating. Instead, it let out two furious roars and charged toward the wolf pack.
"Not only is it a gentleman bear, but it's also a deserving 'Heroic Bear'!" Ye Tian expressed with admiration. Indeed, whether animals, beasts, or humans share a common trait: they all possess different personalities—some fierce, some cowardly or cunning; some may flee in danger while others are fearless in battle.
Clearly, this giant bear belonged to the latter category.
Not long after charging out, the wolf pack met it head-on. As they drew closer to the ancient trees that grew denser, Ye Tian could no longer see the battlefield clearly; he could only hear the giant bear's continuous roars and the wolves' howls resonating throughout the Forest.
"What a fierce battle!" Ye Tian reflected. Beasts in nature and humans alike fight desperately for their own interests or even without reason.
Just as Ye Tian was lost in thought, the giant bear suddenly emitted an extremely furious roar; it must have suffered greatly due to being outnumbered.
A thought crossed Ye Tian's mind—this giant bear's peril was ultimately caused by him; he should lend a helping hand.
Actually, Ye Tian is not the kind of person who acts out of kindness. His desire to help was stirred by the courage of the giant bear facing a formidable enemy without fear. Once upon a time, he was just like that, and he would be so again in the future.
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian's figure moved as he intended to join the battle. However, just as Yuqi Tayan Jue was gaining momentum, a snow-white figure suddenly darted out from the Forest, vanishing in an instant with incredible speed.
"Eh?" Ye Tian turned back in confusion. He knew that the White Shadow must be the Wolf King without a doubt. However, it was strange that it did not join the fight; at the very least, it should be overseeing the battle. Why had it come here?
With doubts in his heart, Ye Tian temporarily set aside the matter of the giant bear. After all, it was a bear; if it were a human, Ye Tian would definitely prioritize saving them.
In his line of sight, he saw that the White-Furred Wolf King had stopped and was observing the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf that was cowering on the ground, trembling.
"What is it trying to do?" Ye Tian wondered curiously as he scrutinized the Wolf King.
The Wolf King stood about ten feet tall, comparable to an elephant. Its fur was silver-white, and its eyes were blood-red rather than the typical greenish hue found in other wolves. Its tail resembled that of a scorpion; however, unlike other Scorpion-Tailed Wolves, this one had a thick and long tail covered in white fur, making it difficult to recognize as a scorpion tail except for the stinger at the tip.
The White-Furred Wolf King remained still before the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf, merely lowering its head to sniff while its gaze was fierce.
The previously mentioned Scorpion-Tailed Wolf sensed the killing intent from the Wolf King but did not rise to flee or retreat. Instead, it remained prostrate on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
The expression in the eyes of the White-Furred Wolf King was extremely vicious, indicating that it was not contemplating how to deal with its subordinate but rather considering how to kill it.
Seeing this, Ye Tian frowned slightly. Although wolves are ferocious, they are also very united and generally do not engage in infighting.
Just as Ye Tian was puzzled, the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf let out a piercing howl. Ye Tian focused his gaze and saw a line of blood marks suddenly appear around its neck. Although there were blood marks, they were not particularly deep fatal wounds. It was evident that the White-Furred Wolf King intended to torture it to death through bloodletting.
"What a ruthless Wolf King..." Ye Tian was taken aback and began to speculate about what grave offense this Scorpion-Tailed Wolf had committed to deserve such punishment.
As the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf bled without dying immediately, it howled mournfully, expressing a deep unwillingness to accept its fate.
The White-Furred Wolf King paid no attention and simply stood quietly nearby while scanning its surroundings. Its keen sense of smell detected Ye Tian's presence.
However, Ye Tian was hidden high in the ancient trees, not only obscured by the lush branches and leaves but also elevated far above the ground where the wind was strong, making his presence not particularly obvious. Therefore, although the Wolf King sensed Ye Tian's existence, it could only roughly determine his location without pinpointing it.
In a moment, a grayish-white speckled Mother Wolf quickly ran over, her eyes filled with sorrow. Wolves possess a certain spirit, and these intelligent beasts were no exception.
The Mother Wolf circled around the dying Scorpion-Tailed Wolf, moving rapidly while occasionally emitting mournful whines. The White-Furred Wolf King roared upon seeing this, then opened its mouth to bite; first, it bit the Mother Wolf so she couldn't move, and then it bit open the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf's chest and abdomen. It extended its claws to viciously scratch, and moments later, it crushed and swallowed the heart.
At this moment, Ye Tian finally understood what crime the Scorpion-Tailed Wolf had committed. It must have been involved with the mate of the Wolf King and was discovered afterward, leading it to distance itself from the pack. However, out of loyalty to the Wolf Clan, it encountered an invading giant bear within their territory and fought valiantly but in vain. Thus, it called for its companions, fully aware that this would also bring punishment from the Wolf King. That was why it lay on the ground waiting for death.
Understanding this brought great sorrow to Ye Tian's heart. Although it was said to be an affair, judging by the Mother Wolf's expression, it seemed that both had mutual feelings for each other. Moreover, there were many Mother Wolves in the pack; it must have been that the Wolf King abused his power to claim the Mother Wolves for himself and forcibly separated them. This was truly despicable.
Seeing this scene, many thoughts swirled in Ye Tian's mind. The most poignant realization was that the strongest being in this area must maintain a calm and gentle disposition; otherwise, it would inevitably lead to numerous tragedies.
"Wang Tianba is narrow-minded and reckless; if he obtains the Divine Dragon Treasure..." Ye Tian immediately thought of Wang Tianba. If he were to acquire the Divine Dragon Treasure, given his bandit nature, not only would the Cold Family suffer, but perhaps all of Spirit Martial Town would be in peril.
"I cannot allow this treasure to fall into his hands!" Ye Tian resolved firmly while increasingly finding the White-Furred Wolf King displeasing to his eyes. This wolf resembled a villain and reminded him too much of Wang Tianba.
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian took action. He unleashed Yuqi Tayan Jue, targeting the head of the White-Furred Wolf King.
The speed of Yuqi Tayan Jue was astonishing; within ten zhang (approximately 33 meters), he reached his target in an instant. With the assistance of Martial Origin Power and from a height of about twenty zhang in the ancient trees, Ye Tian's figure appeared right before the White-Furred Wolf King with just one leap.
The White-Furred Wolf King was highly alert; as soon as it sensed Ye Tian's presence, it reacted swiftly when Ye Tian appeared. It leaped away from "the captured lady" and "the body of its subordinate," making a direct escape toward its pack.
"Old thief, don’t escape!"
Perhaps seeing shadows of Wang Tiankuang and Hu Lue in this White-Furred Wolf King fueled Ye Tian's anger. In his eyes, this was not just a Wolf King but a combination of those two figures.
However, the reason why the White-Furred Wolf King could hold its position was due to its strength; its leaping speed was not at all slower than Yuqi Tayan Jue. Moreover, since Yuqi Tayan Jue primarily focused on sudden charges rather than long-distance pursuits, Ye Tian found himself unable to keep up. In just a few leaps, he had already fallen about ten zhang behind the White-Furred Wolf King.
"Quite fast at escaping!"
Ye Tian cursed, realizing that if he couldn't catch up, there was no need to pursue any further; as long as he didn't fall behind, that would suffice.
A man and a wolf swiftly dashed through the dense forest, and before long, the clear sounds of wolf howls and bear roars echoed ahead.
The Scorpion-Tailed Wolves were numerous, and the giant bear was powerful with a deep voice; both sides' roars were extremely loud. Earlier, when Ye Tian was at a distance, he felt nothing unusual, but now that he was close, he could hear the intensity of the battle far exceeding his expectations.
At this moment, the White-Furred Wolf King had already blended into the pack of wolves, while Ye Tian arrived later and paused at the edge of the battlefield.
"Hiss..."
Although Ye Tian had experienced considerable bloodshed and had tortured opponents in fits of rage before, the scene before him still made him gasp in shock.
The ground was littered with severed limbs and broken bodies. Many Scorpion-Tailed Wolves had their brains splattered from the giant bear's strikes. The ground was covered in red and white matter. The giant bear was also not unscathed; although the scorpion tail's poison couldn't kill it, its massive abdomen had been slashed open in several places by sharp fangs, dark red intestines spilling out continuously. Its left eye socket was a blur, clearly indicating that its eyeball had been gouged out by a wolf's claw...
"What a brutal scene..."
Roar!
Just as Ye Tian lamented this, the White-Furred Wolf King concealed among the wolves let out an angry roar. Hearing the Wolf King's command, hundreds of Azure Eyes instantly turned towards Ye Tian.
