Chapter 736 Heavenly Wolf Peak!
"Chen, Klu has just reported that the Clan Leader of the Fierce Tiger Tribe has already led the remnants to join the Mammoth Tribe. By my estimation, it won't be long before they make their move against the Azure Dragon Tribe. What should we do next?"
Lian Hongshang's beautiful eyes flickered as she gazed quietly at Li Chen, filled with ripples of worry.
To this, Li Chen seemed unconcerned. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Any news from the Black Wolf Tribe?"
Lian Hongshang shook her head and said, "No news. Ever since Little Dragon devoured the Fierce Tiger, it has kept an even lower profile. It's said that the Mammoth Tribe has called upon it several times, but the Black Wolf has always found various excuses to decline. It seems to want no part in this chaos!"
Li Chen let out a cold laugh, "It will definitely get involved; it's just that the situation isn't clear yet, and it's waiting to see who will come out on top!"
After speaking, Li Chen fetched a map of the Barbaric North and began to study it closely.
Finally, his gaze settled on Wild Wolf Mountain.
That Black Wolf is naturally cunning and it's unknown where it hides. Seeking it out in the vast Barbaric North is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, Li Chen planned to make double preparations by going to Wild Wolf Mountain, where Spiritual Power was abundant, to try his luck. Perhaps he could find some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to help Jiao Long quickly complete its transformation. Only then would they stand a chance in the upcoming battle with the Mammoth Tribe.
Li Chen stared at the map for a while, then turned to Lian Hongshang and said, "That silly Little Dragon is about to transform, and I plan to take it to this place to awaken its second Divine Skill!"
Lian Hongshang blinked her eyes and asked, "When will you go?"
Li Chen thought for a bit and said, "Sooner rather than later—we'll leave tomorrow morning. As long as Little Dragon completes its transformation, we'll have the strength to confront the fifth-level Demon Beast Mammoth Giant Beast!"
Lian Hongshang nodded obediently and answered, "Mhm, okay. Then, take care of everything. I'll handle things here, and we won't lose our rear guard!"
Li Chen smiled faintly and gently leaned over to kiss Lian Hongshang's tempting red lips.
Lian Hongshang slowly closed her eyes, clumsily responding to Li Chen.
After an intense kiss, the two of them began to bare their souls to each other. Like melting orange candy, both soul and body fused into one in a moment.
After a night of intimacy, the next morning before dawn, Li Chen set off with Jiao Long to Wild Wolf Mountain.
After a whole day of trekking through mountains and rivers, cutting through thorns and brambles, Li Chen and Jiao Long finally arrived at their destination as the sun set.
The main peak of Wild Wolf Mountain is Heavenly Wolf Peak.
It is said that in the past, this was the territory of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf, which is how the peak got its name.
In fact, not just here, but the entire Barbaric North reverence it as a god.
However, more than three thousand years ago, during a life-and-death battle between the Human Clan and the Barbarian tribes, the battlefield had been pushed here once.
Although the Howling Moon Sky Wolf was a Sixth-level Late Stage Peak Demon Beast, it could not withstand the siege of several dozen top human experts and fell.
In that battle, the human top experts also suffered over fifty percent casualties, with heavy losses, and no longer had the strength to push into the depths of the Barbaric. The plan to completely exterminate the Barbarian tribes was thus abandoned.
Heavenly Wolf Peak soars into the clouds, its top completely out of sight.
Li Chen stood on the spot and released his consciousness to search!
There is an extraordinary abundance of Spiritual Power at the top of the mountain, which suggests that indeed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures have been nurtured here.
With this in mind, he patted Jiao Long on the head and said, "Let's go up and have a look!"
With a low growl, Jiao Long and Li Chen set off towards the peak together.
The mountain wind howled, and the tree shadows swayed, making rustling sounds.
Just then, a piercing wolf howl shattered the silence of the mountain forest.
This was soon followed by continuous wolf howlings.
Li Chen was surprised and released his consciousness to search.
The feedback he received made his expression darken instantaneously.
He saw hundreds and thousands of Wild Wolves gathering like numerous streams flowing into the sea.
Other Demon Beasts, regardless of type or size, all left their nests, fleeing desperately ahead of the others.
These Wild Wolves reached the base of Heavenly Wolf Peak but did not come up. Instead, they knelt on their front legs and worshipped devoutly.
"Roar roar!"
Right at that moment, the Jiao Long on Li Chen's shoulder suddenly sprang out and let out a roaring howl.
All of a sudden, every Wild Wolf turned their eerie green eyes to look in their direction.
Although Jiao Long had a bloodline suppression over these Low-level Demon Beasts, it could not withstand the siege of a wolf pack.
Moreover, Heavenly Wolf Peak was a Holy Land in the hearts of these Wild Wolves, not tolerating the desecration of any other being.
After Jiao Long finished its roar and noticed that the hills were swarming with Wild Wolves, it sensed something wrong and turned its head to look at Li Chen.
Li Chen, with one hand holding his forehead, was covered in a face of embarrassed sweat.
At this moment, he wished he could go up and give this fool a thrashing. With no strength to face the wolves alone, why are you howling? Just looking for trouble, right?
"What are you standing around for? Get moving!"
Li Chen grabbed the mini-sized Jiao Long like a chicken and, like a cheetah running at high speed, dashed towards the peak of the mountain.
The leader of these Wild Wolves was a sleek-furred Black Wolf.
It was the Black Wolf Tribe Totem, the Black Wolf, who had come here for refuge!
Black Wolf looked up at Li Chen's fleeing figure, and in its deep green eyes, a burning excitement filled.
"It's like there's a road to heaven you refused to take, and yet you found your own way to hell!"
It let out a roaring howl and ordered a group of Wild Wolves to surround and chase after Li Chen and Jiao Long.
"Roar roar!"
Jiao Long roared furiously, shot out like lightning, and bit directly into the neck of a Wild Wolf, killing it on the spot.
Li Chen swung his fists wrapped in thunderous prints, striking upon the bodies of the Wild Wolves and smashing them into a pulp then and there.
After such a battle, they arrived at the top of the mountain.
There was a cave here named Heavenly Wolf Cave, the former lair of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf!
Li Chen stood in place, releasing his consciousness to probe around.
However, he was firmly blocked by the defensive barrier inside.
"Such a powerful barrier, there must be some unknown secrets hidden in this cave!"
After pondering for a moment, Li Chen summoned Jiao Long back into the Beast Pet Space, while he adjusted his True Yuan Breath to the same frequency as the barrier inside, and used a flash move to pass through quickly.
Inside the cave was pitch black, devoid of any light, similar to flowing ink.
After walking several hundred steps, Li Chen found the place littered with bones and even some rusted weapons.
It seemed that quite a few people had come here before.
But they were all unlucky, as after entering, none had ever come out again, buried forever in this sunless cave.
It seems that there are indeed many dangers inside, and caution is the order of the day.
After all, these bones in front of him were a warning from those who came before!
