Chapter 263 The Wolf King's Intentions, An Inevitable Battle

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, then thought about it again and realized that it was possible.

After all, his own convoy contained concentrated third-tier wolf king cells, and even the consciousness of a wolf king had been born.

Like Zong Shiyue, they all came from the Taishan Ruins Refuge.

Zong Shiyue had mentioned to him that once the seal on the underground shelter was broken, the landmine in the forbidden zone of the ruins would definitely detonate.

Even if Zong Shiyue did not want to come to the surface, after losing the suppression of the Wolf King's third-tier body, the pollution would soon spread and reach the vicinity of the Mount Tai ruins.

This eventually resulted in a large contaminated area.

Any living being that passes by is at risk of being infected and becoming nourishment for the resurrection of the evil god.

All Zong Shiyue did was hasten the arrival of all this.

Once the body of the third-tier wolf king loses its sealing function, the value of the wasteland wolf clan in terms of protection and existence naturally ceases to exist.

But the crisis facing the wolf pack is clearly not just this. Even if they lose their protected privileges, they can simply escape into the desolate wilderness where few people go, and from then on, they can survive by hunting wildebeest, living like dogs with their tails between their legs...

Perhaps they will not be subjected to large-scale slaughter by humans.

However, once the forbidden zone of the ruins loses its seal and erupts completely, it will definitely cover and contaminate the current main fortress of the refuge, the entrance to the Valley of Fallen Wolves.

At that time, the Wasteland Wolf clan will lose the most important thing in their race: the inheritance and legacy from the third-tier wolf king.

The source of the race's evolution was polluted and isolated, forever buried in the underground wolf king's tomb.

Therefore, even if the wasteland wolves do not suffer attacks and hunts, they will gradually decline because they have lost their place of inheritance. Until one day, the second-tier chieftain-level wasteland wolf behemoth also dies, and the clan will be reduced to the most ordinary evolved wasteland beasts, and it will be difficult for them to turn their lives around again.

This is why the highest leader of the Wasteland Wolf clan, the level 29 behemoth Wolf Ao, a late-stage second-tier being who has survived for thousands of years thanks to the radiation from the Wolf King's Tomb...

That's why they are so anxious and eager to expand the strength of their clan, hoping to cultivate a new generation of late-stage second-tier wild wolf behemoths with enough potential and strength to inherit the mantle of the wolf king during this six-year global migration!
The best way to advance quickly is through combat. Growing through battle and slaughter not only allows the new generation of wolves to regain their wildness and experience the baptism of war, but more importantly, it allows them to quickly accumulate a large amount of resources.

It's enough to allow an ordinary evolved wild wolf to quickly grow into a second-tier behemoth.

Violent destruction is always the fastest way to make money.

Back then, when the wasteland wolf pack emerged from the underground shelter, it was under the leadership of the mid-stage Tier 3 wolf king that they continuously conquered cities and territories, attacking and slaughtering one large human settlement after another...

Ultimately, not only did the size of the wolf pack increase several times, but Ao, the third-tier wolf king and leader, also advanced to become a terrifying existence at the late third-tier level, level thirty-nine.

Just one last step away from crossing that threshold and touching the realm of the gods, which is above the third tier.

Unfortunately, Wolf King Ao was suppressed by the gods, who coerced him into attacking the Mount Tai refuge, and he perished together with Zong Shiyue, who was about to complete his final transformation.

In a sense, the rapid rise of the wolf pack may well be due to the deliberate indulgence of the gods.

They intentionally created a level 39 king beast to hinder Zong Shiyue's transcendence.

However, the fact that the wolf king was willing to bow down and sacrifice himself back then probably involved other deals and considerations.

After all, Wolf King Ao's level 39 evolutionary strength was not fake; the resources consumed to reach this point were astronomical.

Even with the entire Holy City today, it might not be possible to create a being with an evolution limit of level 39.

Today, the Holy Spring Cult holds sway over a region, and within the entire Holy See, there is only one being who has reached the limit of evolution and become the acting divine messenger of the Holy Spring Lord—the Undying Saint in the Undying Holy City.

Therefore, in Wolf King Ao's view, he could exchange his temporary forbearance for the future succession of the wolf clan, directly having a late-stage Tier 3 wolf king as their leader, leading the wolf clan back to its peak...

It's a good deal.

This is why the wolf king's consciousness, condensed within the third-tier flesh and blood cells in Lin Feng's hands, was willing to cooperate and trade with Lin Feng to cultivate the divine dog into the new successor of the wolf king.

In its view, whoever becomes the wolf king, as long as there are no problems with the bloodline and genes, the wolf clan can be revived and rise again in the future.

The focus is on the birth of the third-tier wolf king, not on the relationship of this successor.

Even if the divine dog truly recognizes Lin Feng as its master, then the master of this king beast must at least possess the strength of the late stage of the third tier.

But this might not be a bad thing for the wolf pack.

The reason why Wolf King Ao was forced to submit back then was because there were no other royal beast forces left in the wasteland. Even the only uninhabited habitats were barren lands deep in the wasteland, where even Wolf King himself could not survive...

Therefore, forming an alliance with a powerful human being, even if it means groveling as a subordinate, is better than fighting alone against the combined might of all the top human powers.

After all, one of the most basic conditions for Lin Feng to subdue the divine dog is to first solve the problem of the dog's food source.

For this reason alone, even Wolf King Ao would be willing to work for Lin Feng, as long as there is enough high-quality food.

Lin Feng was naturally aware of this as well.

Wolf King Ao chose to make the deal simply to leave the Wasteland Wolf clan another way out.

In Lin Feng's view, the Wilderness Wolf Clan's development over the past few thousand years has been stagnant, and even shows signs of regression.

The reason for this actually lies with the current leader of the wolf clan, Lang Ao.

It has lived for so long that the wasteland wolf clan has become accustomed to the existence of such an ancestor, and will only live under its protection, rarely growing much.

With the protection of the gods, the Wasteland Wolf Clan will not face any survival or extinction crisis in this wasteland, even if they do not strive to become third-tier king beasts...

The current Wilderness Wolf Clan is actually not very useful.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have waited until the crisis of extinction was imminent before thinking they should make an effort.

The wolf clan, which has been lying low for thousands of years, can only bully ordinary second-rate forces. However, when facing first-rate forces, such as ordinary royal cities at the bottom level, they lack the domineering presence that Wolf King Ao once had.

Today, only one old, twenty-nine-year-old giant wolf remains of the Wildlands Wolf clan, upholding the prestige of the once-kingly beast clan.

Unfortunately, in the Valley of Fallen Wolves, it could still unleash its full power at level 29 thanks to the radiation boost from the Wolf King. But now that it has left the Wolf King's Tomb, it is unknown how much combat power it will have left and how long it can hold out.

According to the Salvation Army's White Night, apart from their leader Wolf Ao, the Wasteland Wolf clan only has three other giant wolves at the early stage of the second tier.

As offspring of Wolf Ao, their evolutionary level has been stuck at the early stage of the second tier for too long, so much so that even if Wolf Ao wanted to pass on his own source essence, he couldn't find a suitable mid-stage second-tier giant wolf successor.

This was also one of the reasons why Bai Ye initially wanted to persuade Lang Ao to join forces in attacking Oasis Town.

Although Oasis Town is poor in resources, the number and strength of its advanced evolved beings are also quite weak.

However, this place has a well-established rockhorse industry, which has given rise to a large number of rockhorse warriors, and most importantly, Li Hao, the head of the Li family, a mid-stage second-order existence in the rockhorse evolution path.

Killing Li Hao would allow Lang Ao's offspring to advance to the mid-stage of the second tier, thus completing the handover of the Wolf King's Tomb guardianship.

However, Lang Ao refused Bai Ye's invitation at the time, because the reason why the Wilderness Wolf Clan was able to continue was because of the protection agreement of the gods back then, and the Holy Spring Cult is still abiding by this agreement.

Within the territory ruled by the Holy See, no being of the second rank or above is permitted to take action against the Wilderness Wolf Clan or the Wolf King's Tomb in Fallen Wolf Valley.

If the Steppenwolves join White Night's operations and launch an attack on Oasis Town, which is under the control of the Holy See, even if the target is only a local family power... it will be considered that the Steppenwolves have broken the agreement, and the Holy See will no longer provide protection in the future.

For the sake of Li Hao, to lose sight of the bigger picture, Lang Ao isn't that foolish.

But as Lin Feng destroyed the shelter's tunnels, severing the Wolf King's third-tier body, the seal on the underground evil god was broken...

The non-interference agreement that Lang Ao adhered to became nothing more than a piece of waste paper.

Then Li Hao of the Li family, along with the entire Oasis Town, will become a delicious meal for the Wasteland Wolf Clan.

In particular, Oasis Town is located near the forbidden zone of the scorching sun, thousands of kilometers away from the nearest large settlement, the Holy City, and is on the edge of the Papacy's territory...

If we attack Oasis Town, as long as we ensure that all the humans die in the wolves' jaws, the news will not leak out in a short time.

Even the traces of the Wilderness Wolf Clan's attack were directly erased by the purification effect of the blazing sun's rays.

What was originally a risky undertaking that would have been counterproductive has now become a crucial cornerstone for the rise of the Wasteland Wolf Clan due to various favorable conditions...

If Lin Feng were Lang Ao, he certainly wouldn't let go of such a crucial opportunity.

They might even take the initiative and strike first, arriving at the crossroads in Oasis Town before the Holy Spring Festival.

Using the Sun Restricted Zone behind them, they launched a surprise attack to intercept Oasis Town, and set up a pocket-shaped semi-circular encirclement in advance, which would inevitably leave all the evolved people and vehicles of transportation in Oasis Town within the Sun Restricted Zone.

During the brief intervals of observation, Lin Feng had already noticed and deduced the intentions of the Wilderness Wolf Clan, and naturally understood the way to break the deadlock.

However, this matter still needs to be discussed with the church's higher-ups.

After putting down the binoculars, Lin Feng immediately replied to Ding Yi:
"It shouldn't have been made by the Wolf King's consciousness. It only has a small piece of third-tier flesh and blood, and it has been suppressed by other mutated flesh and blood, so the energy fluctuations are very weak."

"It can cover an area of ​​at most a hundred meters in radius."

"But once the wasteland wolf clan launches its attack and the evolved wasteland wolves get close to their settlement, things might change."

"Let's temporarily halt the research to avoid being detected by the chieftain-level Wild Wolf, which would make us the target of their combined attacks."

"Just use the lead plate black box I brought out from the underground ruins to load it. Let Chen Shanshan do this. She has second-level strength and won't be affected much."

Ding Yi nodded:

"Understood, I'll take care of it right away."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Feng glanced at the gradually disappearing black lights in the distance, confirming that the Wasteland Wolf clan had stopped ten kilometers away and planned to ambush them before leaving the watchtower on the church.

Back inside the church, Lin Feng immediately found Shen Yue and asked her to inform the bishop that he had important matters to discuss.

Shen Yue hesitated for a moment:

"It seems that His Holiness the Bishop has gone into seclusion to pray. There has been no news of him since yesterday. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the secret prayer room to disturb him. If you want to get him out of trouble, you can find other priests, such as Father Suan."

"He has now been granted temporary administration by His Holiness the bishop and is in charge of Oasis affairs for the time being. He can command the church's high priest and send a few low-level minions out of the village without any major problems."

Lin Feng frowned slightly. Bishop Zhang Hui's seclusion at this crucial moment meant either he was preparing for the final battle or he was undergoing surgical modifications.

Father Su An has three portions of level 20 life essence from second-tier wild wolves, enough to create three second-tier wild wolf warriors.

But this thing is of a very low grade.

If it's used to help a level 19 Grand Priest advance to level 20, it's more than enough, and the fusion of the Wild Wolf gene with the human body is still quite complete.

But Bishop Zhang Hui is already at level twenty-nine!

In terms of conversion, the abundant holy spring power within his body is equivalent to dozens of times the level 20 life essence. Therefore, using the wild wolf essence to modify the bishop is far less effective than using the grand priest.

It's even difficult for them to enter a frenzied, beast-like state. At most, under intentional stimulation, they can grow steel fangs or claws, unique characteristics of the Steppe Wolf.

However, its strength will not be too high, probably not even as good as Lin Feng's level 26 refined steel wolf fang, which is used to forge an armor-piercing wolf spear.

So, Bishop Zhang Hui's current seclusion might be to fully absorb the high-level holy spring water, which is the power of the third-level holy spring.

Praying is also for the purpose of better absorbing the high-level holy spring water and restoring oneself to peak condition.

With this in mind, Lin Feng decided to first go to the Grand Priest in the command and control room to check the scene ten kilometers away and confirm that the Wasteland Wolf Clan had not yet launched an attack.

At the same time, the high priest should have a secret way to contact the bishop.

Even Father Su An probably didn't know this, let alone Shen Yue, who had just advanced to the late stage of the first rank.

After saying goodbye to Shen Yue, Lin Feng immediately returned to the church and entered the control room, which was secretly built in the middle of the Oasis warship, through a secret passage.

The two high priests are still guarding the place, and after a day of rest, they have gradually recovered.

After showing the Oasis key, the two immediately let them pass.

As the alloy gate slowly lifted, Daisuke looked at Lin Feng with some surprise.

Because the arena battles had just ended, the control room had also shut down the ultra-long-range monitoring to conserve energy.

They went down and then returned, but I don't know why they came.

Lin Feng's expression was solemn, and he spoke in a deep voice:

"Check the surveillance footage; something's up."

The Grand Priest immediately understood and led Lin Feng into the command and control room, which was filled with large screens.

More than a dozen people were stationed in front of the computers, most of them using sensors and cameras from the Oasis warship to monitor the warship's operational status and supervise personnel in various units.

Regarding the situation near the oasis, only one row of four screens was retained, corresponding to the front, back, left, and right sides respectively.

More are within five kilometers, less within ten kilometers, mainly because long-term high-definition focusing is costly in terms of both energy consumption and wear and tear on the camera.

Therefore, it is rarely held unless it is a ring competition.

Lin Feng then instructed the Grand Master to retrieve the information displayed ten kilometers away.

Within ten kilometers, the image is relatively clear, and it can focus on displaying a range of one kilometer in width.

Beyond ten kilometers, the image quality begins to gradually decline and even becomes somewhat distorted, making it possible to see objects more than five meters away.

As the telephoto lens extended and retracted, the focused image gradually appeared before everyone's eyes...

The crowd erupted in uproar!
Many people gasped in shock!
A dense swarm of gray, wild beasts lay neatly prostrate in the shadow of a mountain, poised to pounce...
