Chapter 14: Conquest! Sweeping!

In the tranquil forest, there was only the sound of swallowing.

Lu Chuan unceremoniously swallowed the goat that Xiaoqing and the other two had hunted into his belly, and after using 【Rapid Digestion】 to absorb it, he immediately looked at them.

"Let's go, keep looking."

"Since we've already come out, we naturally have to return fully loaded."

"You all should also think carefully about whether there are any powerful beasts nearby worth attacking."

"Big Brother."

Xiong Da's eyeballs rolled around, a flash of cunning appearing in them: "I remember, there is a wolf pack ahead; they have been active in this area and are very arrogant."

"The beasts living nearby are often bullied by the wolf pack, going hungry one meal and full the next."

After saying this, it lowered its gaze, staring tightly at the position of Lu Chuan's neck, feeling very expectant.

In fact, it had previously had a conflict with the aforementioned wolf pack; at the time, it had found the carcass of an elk and wanted to save it for a nice meal, but the wolf pack active in this area caught the scent and came running over in a pack.

Although Xiong Da did not fear any single wolf one-on-one, the opponent's numbers were simply too great, and after trying for a while, it could only abandon the elk carcass and flee, but it had kept this humiliation in its heart.

Now, with the powerful boss Lu Chuan backing it, Xiong Da wanted revenge.

Hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded, not doubting it, "Since that's the case, let's go find this wolf pack and give them a taste of their own medicine."

"Yes!"

"Awoo—"

Not long after Lu Chuan and the others moved forward, wolf howls continuously rang out in the forest, sometimes near and sometimes far, as if they were passing on information.

Soon, a few gray wolves appeared and disappeared in the grass; seeing the four behemoths, they retreated vigilantly and gradually ran out of sight.

Lu Chuan had originally thought the wolf pack was afraid of them.

But shortly after, a tense atmosphere suddenly descended upon the forest.

At this moment, just opposite Lu Chuan and the others, in a dense forest not far away, a behemoth lowered its body and, in a hunting posture, moved forward bit by bit along the shadows of the trees.

This behemoth was huge in size, with its shoulders alone over three meters high, and its gray fur was like steel needles, swaying slowly with the breeze in the forest.

Within its cunning eyes, a glimmer of intelligence radiated, as if it were sizing up these four uninvited guests, Lu Chuan and his group.

Following its appearance, the low growls of the gray wolves in the surroundings gradually increased—one, two...

In just over ten seconds, dozens of gray wolves appeared from all directions around Lu Chuan and his group, firmly surrounding them in the middle.

Snap—

When the sound of a tree branch being snapped underfoot rang out, that behemoth finally appeared in sight.

Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes and looked over, seeing the Langwang baring its teeth slightly, staring at him with a vigilant expression, its four limbs moving slowly as if it could not help but want to attack.

Moreover, the Langwang seemed to be able to tell that among the four beasts, he was the most powerful! "Good!"

"I was just looking for you."

Lu Chuan sensed the opponent's ambition and could not help but snort coldly: "You want to eat me, but don't I also want to eat you?"

"Langwang, oh Langwang, your good days have come to an end."

Thinking of this, he used the ability of 【Soul-Seizing Pupil】 and instructed Xiaoqing, Xiong Da, and Xiong Er, "You all watch out for the wolves in the surroundings; leave this Langwang to me."

"Yes, Big Brother!"

"Please rest assured, Big Brother, we will never let any wild wolf get close to you."

Soon, Xiaoqing, Xiong Da, and Xiong Er began to form a triangle, firmly guarding Lu Chuan in the middle, staring at the other wolves with chilling killing intent.

At this very moment, Lu Chuan stood in the gap between Xiaoqing and Xiong Da, staring at the Langwang. "Late Mortal Realm, your strength is not bad, but... I am already in the Awakening Realm; you are not enough to look at!"

It was precisely because he knew the strength of this Langwang that he had the confidence to resolve it.

At this moment, Lu Chuan did not say a word and directly unleashed 【Spirit Snake Swift Step】, charging toward the Langwang.

The latter's heart skipped a beat, and it subconsciously dodged, but a sound of breaking air suddenly came over.

Boom—

The Langwang turned its head to look and saw a giant tail whipping toward it.

It made a prompt decision and dodged the giant tail sweep after a few crawls, but a foul wind suddenly rushed out before it, in which a terrifying danger seemed to be hidden.

"Corrosive Poison Mist!"

Lu Chuan gave a low shout in his heart, and a large mass of black poison mist sprayed out, wrapping the Langwang inside in almost the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the Langwang's heart pounded wildly, and realizing that this poison mist was extremely terrifying, it hurriedly pulled back to retreat.

Rustle—

Because the black mist blocked its vision, the Langwang could only hear a rustling sound; by the time it felt that the sound had reached close by, Lu Chuan had already rushed out, opened his bloody maw, and bit down on it.

"Hehe, you can't run away!"

Soon, Lu Chuan tightly coiled around the Langwang; the latter's heartbeat became increasingly violent, yet it was unable to break free.

"I surrender! I am willing to surrender, please spare my life, Big Brother!"

"Wouldn't it have been better to do this sooner?"

Lu Chuan had not originally intended to eat it; after receiving the Langwang's plea for mercy, he immediately unleashed 【Soul-Seizing Pupil】, making it his underling, and then instructed Xiaoqing and the other beasts.

"Stop fighting, everyone is on the same side."

"Gray wolf, calling you 'Little Gray' isn't good, and you don't have other Langwang brothers... from now on, just call you Huitailang."

"Thank you, Big Brother, for bestowing the name!"

Huitailang felt a surge of nervousness in its heart; seeing that the hostility from Lu Chuan, Xiaoqing, and the other beasts toward it had vanished, it hurriedly expressed its sincerity, "Big Brother, is there anything you need me to do? Just give the order."

"Hmm, you are sensible."

Lu Chuan nodded, pondered for a moment, and then instructed it, "Find all the beasts nearby."

"Yes!"

With the addition of the wolf pack, Lu Chuan's forces grew further, and the gray wolves were all experts at searching and tracking, directly engaging in battle and devouring beasts everywhere under his command.

In just three short days, Lu Chuan added two more strange beasts of the late Mortal Realm to his ranks—a giant tiger and a giant leopard.

The giant leopard, in particular, was covered in black fur, and its eyes shone like gemstones.

"Hmm, from now on, you shall be called Hu Dali and Heibao."

Looking at the two new underlings before him, Lu Chuan bestowed names upon them as per his usual custom, and the latter naturally expressed endless gratitude, their moods incredibly stirred.

During this period, Lu Chuan also obtained a few Strange Fruits; after devouring them, he directly accumulated over eighty points of Evolution Value, which could be called a bountiful harvest.

Upon joining his ranks and learning of Lu Chuan's thoughts, Hu Dali reported directly, "Boss, in this area now, only the Laoyuan to the north has yet to submit. I think we can go over and take a look."

"The Laoyuan to the north..."

Hearing this, Lu Chuan cast his gaze toward the northern jungle, a grim look appearing in his eyes, "A fine Laoyuan, I understand..."
