As the package opened, the enticing aroma immediately spread in the air. Li Ge didn't realize that opening the food at this sensitive time and place could be the spark for a great battle.
She was completely unaware that because she had opened the food, the wild beasts that had been closing their eyes suddenly opened them, greedily looking at the tempting food in her white hands.
In fact, it wasn't just Li Ge. The other 'Dust' clan members were also starving, but they didn't dare to openly open their backpacks in front of the beasts. These people had lived with beasts for a long time and naturally knew that the smell of food could ignite the beastly nature of the corner. So, they waited for the first person to start eating.
Unfortunately, Li Ge, who had just woken up and was still confused, became the first 'crab eater.'
"Mo, this isn't soaked yet, it's edible. Come, here." Busy fiddling with the food in her hands, Li Ge didn't realize she had become a delicious 'food' in the mouths of the beasts.
The restless beasts began to scan Li Ge and the food in her hands. Some had even stood up, their fierce eyes revealing themselves in the equally agitated air.
The wolf king didn't look at the busy Li Ge, but coldly swept his gaze over a wild boar that was already planning to walk in this direction.
Except for the blind boar and the wolf pack that recognized the wolf king's power, the other beasts didn't think he was worth mentioning. He was just a slightly stronger wolf.
Obviously, the wild boar thought so too. It ignored the wolf king's menacing gaze and walked towards the corner where the man and wolf were.
Awooo…
To the surprise of all the 'Dust' clan members and the beasts, the wild boar hadn't taken a few steps when it was blocked by a tall, silver-gray wolf.
It was obvious that the wolf meant that if it wanted to pass, it had to step over his body first.
The wild boar, which had been tentatively trying to pass, couldn't withstand the wolf's block. It lowered its head and charged at the wolf with a snort.
Sharp and stout tusks stabbed at the wolf's belly. The wolf didn't allow the wild boar to be so presumptuous, especially in front of the wolf king. It also didn't retreat but opened its mouth and bit the wild boar's throat.
Snort, snort…
Awooo…
For a moment, the other beasts retreated, providing space for the two to fight. The wolf and the wild boar became gladiators in an arena, refusing to let go until the other was dead.
You came, I went, and blood inevitably stained the bodies of the wolf and the wild boar, spreading a bloody smell that made the onlookers excited. Perhaps because of the constant lightning and thunder above, the beasts couldn't control the brutal factors in their blood. So, when three other wolves of the same color but slightly smaller joined the fray, two larger wild boars also rushed in on the other side.
This escalated conflict shocked the 'Dust' clan people, who cautiously huddled against the walls, not daring to move.
Although she had seen Mo fight many beasts and large-scale massacres, Li Ge was still worried. After all, there was no escape here. If everything fell into chaos, she feared that the entire 'Dust' clan wouldn't be able to escape the beasts' mouths.
But to her surprise, soon, the first wild boar that had stood up was knocked down by the gray wolf with a powerful headbutt, and then heavily thrown out of the arena, twitching constantly.
This change made the beasts that had been watching realize that there was food. Seemingly at the same time, several large and agile beasts leaped forward to the wild boar that was no longer showing signs of life and bit down.
The smell of blood spread in this airless stone chamber, attracting other beasts to come and share a piece of the pie. Those who couldn't get close turned their gazes towards the injured wild boar and wolf.
The situation had gotten out of control. The injured wild boar and wolf wanted to run away, but it was too late. They roared and desperately dodged the attacks of the other beasts.
Li Ge trembled as she watched. She only felt sorry for the wolves who had come out to help Mo, but thinking of the large group of beasts, she knew she shouldn't ask Mo for help. She clenched her hands under her sleeves, the pain in her palms unable to bring her back to her senses.
Li Ge's abnormality didn't escape the wolf king's eyes. He didn't want to interfere. In his eyes, this world was naturally survival of the fittest. If you were weak, you shouldn't blame yourself for being eaten by other beasts. But the woman's tearful eyes and trembling body made the wolf king frown. He didn't even know why he couldn't bear to see her unhappy.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the wolf king slowly stood up and stood outside the arena, his two-colored eyes without a trace of mercy looking at the bloody scene.
Just as the gray wolf was about to be bitten through the belly by a leopard, the wolf king let out a howl.
Awooo…
This was different from the howling of other wolves tearing at each other. It was arrogant and absolute, a declaration of obedience.
The howl soared into the sky, and even the entire stone chamber trembled.
Silence. This was the only explanation.
Li Ge thought the situation would be controlled, but the beasts, many of which were large, didn't allow it. So, a huge lion stood up.
The beasts were excited to see this scene. They expected the arrogant wolf to be torn to shreds. But they didn't notice that a large boar with empty eyes had shrunk to the farthest corner.
Only that boar knew that this wolf, which didn't look bigger than them, was actually the most terrifying existence. And it had clearly felt a stronger power than before during their encounter in the rain.
That only silence seemed to last for a moment. Then, those beasts continued to tear at each other, and the wolf and the wild boar became gladiators.
The wolf king watched the scene calmly. When the leopard was about to jump, the wolf moved. He lowered his head slightly, his fangs glowing with a ghostly light, and stabbed directly into the opponent's throat.
The scene froze. Gasping sounds were like music.
The beasts froze in place, some biting the throats of others, some lying on the ground unable to move, and others chewing on the food they had finally obtained.
At that moment, everything stopped.
