Chapter 257: Imprison This Little Chick!

Cheng Shuili frowned, nodded, raised a hand to wipe her face, bloody fingertip pointing forward, she softly uttered four words: "Kill them all."

The wolf pack moved.

The stench they kicked up while charging even overturned the roadside guardrails.

The one-eyed werewolf led the charge; the flamethrower from the rocket launcher blasted the bluish-gray giant-claw monster into minced meat. The other werewolves either swung chainsaw-like claws to rip open the pus-filled monsters, or unleashed terrifying leaping ability, jumping up to bite off the specters' necks with their fangs!

The moment those semi-transparent specters were torn apart by wolf fangs, they actually emitted a real sound of flesh ripping.

Su Rui's spear almost slipped from her grasp.

She watched a werewolf pull the reverse-joint leg bone of a humanoid creature with its teeth, then smash another monster's head with that bone, her stomach involuntarily clenched.

"Lao Da..." she swallowed hard, "These are..."

"My brave subordinates."

Cheng Shuili had already grabbed the little chick; the tiny thing trembled in her hand like sifting chaff, constantly letting out soft "ge-ge" chirps.

Cheng Shuili merely sheathed her longsword, silently drew a dagger, pressing its tip to the chick's neck; after holding back again and again, she finally steeled herself, trying to shove this thing into her territory.

But she obviously forgot a procedure; as expected, a familiar pop-up appeared before Cheng Shuili.

【This monster does not belong to your private property and cannot be brought into your personal territory!】

Cheng Shuili took a deep breath, controlling her emotions.

This thing can lay eggs.

Kill it and there's nothing left; she wants to imprison this little thing! Make it lay eggs for the rest of its life!

Cheng Shuili pulled out a territory servant card, tapped the chick's head with it, then held the card between her fingers, swapped out the dagger, and used the tip to lift the chick's chin, forcing its black-bean-like eyes to meet hers.

Her voice was lowered to an extreme, carrying a kind of chilling gentleness:

"Listen, little thing." She shook the territory servant card in her hand, "Either you obediently sign this and give me two eggs every day..."

The dagger suddenly slid down, lightly scraping the screeching chick's down; a few tufts of yellow fluff floated to the ground.

"Or I'll let you experience this right now..." Cheng Shuili's lips curled into a savage arc, "What is hot-water depilation."

The chick's pupils suddenly constricted, its down puffing up all over.

It shook its head frantically, its tiny wings fluttering like two small fans, emitting urgent "jiji" chirps, as if saying "I'll sign, I'll sign."

Cheng Shuili nodded in satisfaction and used the card on it.

Unlike when used on players, the card instantly glowed scarlet, turning into a chain-like pattern that wrapped around the screeching chick's ankle.

"Very well." She released her hand, letting the chick plop onto the small wooden box, "From today on, your name will be..."

Cheng Shuili frowned, thought for a moment, then said: "Egg Chief."

Su Rui, listening nearby: "......"

Alright, that name is pretty clear.

Cheng Shuili stuffed the chick into her territory, turned around and carefully observed the current battle situation.

To Cheng Shuili's surprise, these monsters were immune to bullets, yet not to rocket launchers.

What is this?

Even the highest martial arts fear RPGs?

Cheng Shuili glanced at the battlefield before her, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly.

The werewolves were practically conducting a one-sided slaughter; those monsters that looked fierce and horrifying appeared utterly feeble before modern weapons.

A monster consisting entirely of pus-filled flesh had just wriggled to the center of the road when a single rocket blasted it into a rain of blood.

The bluish-gray chunks of flesh splattered onto the asphalt, emitting a "hiss-hiss" corrosive sound.

"Lao Da..." Su Rui gripped her spear, voice trembling, "Shouldn't we do something?"

Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes, suddenly noticing the three-eyed monster stealthily retreating.

Its bluish-gray skin was covered in bullet holes, yet the wounds weren't bleeding; instead, they were slowly healing.

"That leader is trying to flee." Cheng Shuili drew her longsword, the blade flashing cold in the sunlight, "I'll take care of it."

She was about to rush out when the one-eyed werewolf stopped her.

"My lord, please let us handle this." She bowed respectfully; the rocket launcher on her shoulder had already been reloaded.

After a simple aim, a single rocket salvo instantly shattered the monster's body.

Cheng Shuili: "......"

She felt a bit envious.

Really, she also wanted a rocket launcher.

Too bad she hadn't known this earlier; otherwise, she could have bought some from the Rat King on the black market.

Cheng Shuili and Su Rui stood at the back, essentially becoming onlookers, as if these monsters weren't aimed at them.

The battle lasted a total of ten minutes; after the final monster was dealt with, the one-eyed werewolf stood in place, wiping off the blood on herself, she seemed to want to touch her face, but didn't notice the blood on her hand, directly giving herself a bloody makeup; this sluggish beastman still hadn't realized.

She frowned, turned, walked up to Cheng Shuili and knelt on one knee, "My lord, it's settled."

Cheng Shuili looked at the werewolf's face, smeared with blood into a mess, the corner of her mouth twitching. She hesitated, then took out a few clean sheets from the Abyssal Ring and handed them over: "Wipe your face."

The one-eyed werewolf blinked, took the tissue and wiped roughly twice, ending up spreading the blood more evenly.

Su Rui watched from the side, frowning, couldn't help but step forward to take the tissue: "Let me do it."

She deftly wiped the werewolf's face clean, revealing the bluish-gray fur underneath and the savage scar running across its left eye.

The werewolf seemed unaccustomed to being cared for like this, its ears twitching uneasily.

"Thank you." She whispered her thanks, voice still hoarse.

Cheng Shuili surveyed the surroundings; the battlefield was littered with monster carcasses and bloodstains, with several werewolves gathering valuable parts from the monsters, their movements practiced as if done countless times.

"Do you often hunt these monsters?" Cheng Shuili asked.

The one-eyed werewolf nodded: "These monsters appear daily around the territory; to protect the ordinary folk, our patrol squad rotates and regularly clears them out."

Territory?

The wolf clan also has its own territory?

Cheng Shuili's heart stirred: "How is the territory now?"

"All is well." A flash of pride crossed the wolfman's single eye, "Following the king's orders, we have built defensive fortifications and reclaimed farmland. Although just implemented, the lives of ordinary beastfolk are already much better. King, everyone is very grateful to you."

Cheng Shuili raised an eyebrow.

She had not given any orders to the wolf clan; certainly someone was spreading false information, and the wolves she knew in the wolf clan were few.

If that's the case... it should be Laolang who did it?

The speed is still quite fast.
