A wave of fury surged straight to the Wolf King's head.
Where on earth did this human get the nerve to say she was in a hurry?
He was about to bring out the clan's supreme treasure! That was the supreme treasure!!! The most important thing to all wolf-race beastmen!
This hateful! Damned human!
If she didn't kowtow and offer a grand greeting, the Wolf King wouldn't say anything, but she was acting like she was at a convenience store, urging the cashier to hurry up and check her out!
It was truly...
The Wolf King was so angry that his head felt dizzy!
He was so dizzy that it took him a while to cool off before he realized something.
Wait a minute.
Who said he was going to give the supreme treasure to this person?
The Wolf King intended to carefully check the contract he had just signed again. As soon as he opened it, he saw the system panel pop up.
【Monitoring your risk of defaulting on an agreement. Special reminder: Beastmen who default cannot enter the retirement world, their descendants for three generations cannot work, and it will harm your family! It is suggested you think twice before acting!】
The Wolf King was stunned. Of course, he knew what this meant when it popped up.
It meant he had to fulfill the agreement with this human!
Otherwise...
The system had already listed the most basic penalties, but there was one more that he, as the Wolf King, knew deep down.
If he broke his word in the name of the Wolf King, the next Wolf King would no longer be chosen from his heirs!
The retirement world was a minor matter...
But losing the position of Wolf King was a major disaster!
Although he was a king high above the rest, he wasn't completely oblivious to the world outside.
Furthermore, living examples were right before his eyes; he didn't even dare to look at how the low-level wolf-race beastmen lived. If he let his descendants live such lives because of a contract with a human...
However, the only supreme treasure he could give this human was the wolf-race token on his body.
That was the King's token.
Once given to this human, it meant that no matter who became the Wolf King in the future, the entire wolf race would have to serve a human as their master!
To the beastmen, this was a tremendous disgrace!
An absolute disgrace!
The Wolf King gasped. He knew he had to choose between the entire wolf pack and his family.
"Haven't you decided yet?"
Cheng Shuili frowned slightly; she really was in a hurry.
What on earth was this Wolf King hesitating about?
The dust kicked up by his tail hitting the floor was about to cover the faces of the two wolves behind him!
Truly a wolf without any sense of morality.
When the Wolf King heard the question, his brows knitted even tighter!
He began to consider another path.
They were currently in a dungeon! Including him, there were six of them.
Although the three low-level wolf-race beastmen had average combat power, they were better than nothing!
Don't humans have an old saying? Two fists are no match for four hands!
They couldn't beat this human individually, but what if they all attacked together?
The Wolf King felt hope rising again. He took a slow step back and suddenly gave the order!
The clansmen standing on both sides were confused, but they reacted quickly!
The six wolf-race beastmen swarmed forward...
Three minutes later.
Cheng Shuili's shoe was pressed onto the Wolf King's face, and her long blade was stuck into the floor right beside his neck. Her brows were relaxed, yet the Wolf King was more terrified than when he had seen her frowning.
"Spare... spare my life! I beg you! Please spare my life!"
If only he had known better earlier.
Cheng Shuili calmly lifted her blade.
When she was suddenly attacked, she had indeed been a bit flustered, but after using 【Insight】, she had calmed down.
【Insight Activated】
【Name: Wolf-race beastman (Current Wolf King)】
【Origin: Unknown.】
【Weakness: Wolves are pack animals, and so are wolf-race beastmen. Only when nine beastmen attack a target together can they exert their full strength! I mean. Go ahead, they can't beat you. Also, stop looking at them one by one, and stop bothering me.】
Cheng Shuili: "..."
Why was the Abyss Ring getting more and more short-tempered?
After Cheng Shuili stepped hard on the Wolf King's face again, she suddenly realized that it seemed the ring took after its owner?
The Wolf King's face was twisted and distorted under Cheng Shuili's shoe, and the rough tread of the sole left a mark of humiliation on his noble features. Whimpering pleas for mercy came from his throat, completely lacking the majesty he had displayed when ordering the ambush.
But begging for mercy wasn't enough...
There was no sincerity in it at all.
"I'll count to three."
Cheng Shuili's voice was as light as a feather, yet it made all the wolf-race beastmen present tremble.
"Either hand over the supreme treasure, or I'll help you find a new king."
"One."
The Wolf King struggled to lift his head, but Cheng Shuili increased the pressure and stomped him back down.
His nasal bridge emitted a brittle, overwhelmed crunch, and blood flowed down his cheeks onto the floor.
"Two."
Wuwu.
The Wolf King really couldn't take it anymore.
He suddenly realized that there was no point in agonizing over his clansmen and family; saving himself was what mattered most!
"I'll give it! I'll give it!"
The Wolf King's voice was urgent and frantic. He tremblingly pulled an ancient, rustic wolf-tooth necklace from his chest. "This is the supreme treasure of our wolf race... The Fang of Austin..."
Cheng Shuili narrowed her eyes slightly and used the tip of her blade to lift the necklace.
The wolf tooth cast an eerie cyan glow under the light, its surface covered in fine, dense runes.
She checked the details directly.
【The Fang of Austin】
【Description: The supreme token passed down through generations of the wolf race, formed from the fang of the first Wolf King, containing the most primal wildness and power of the wolf-race bloodline. Only a king recognized by the clan may wear it, symbolizing absolute authority and the continuation of the clan's destiny.】
【Special Item Traits: 1. Bloodline Majesty: The wielder can release the unique majesty of the wolf race, which has a natural deterrent effect on beastman-type creatures (effect doubled against the wolf race).
Oath of the Wolf Pack: Upon activation, it can forcibly summon all wolf-race units (including beastmen) within a ten-kilometer radius, lasting for 30 minutes (cooldown: 24 hours).
Shackles of Kingship: If the wielder is not a member of the wolf race, all wolf-race members will passively pledge allegiance to them (this effect is irreversible unless the token is destroyed or voluntarily transferred).】
【Special Item Remark:
"The weight of a single tooth is worth more than ten million lives."】
It seems to be the real deal.
Cheng Shuili set aside her wariness and developed a bit of curiosity: "Who is Austin?"
If the Wolf King knew about the human's wariness, he would be especially heartbroken. If he hadn't only had this item on him, he definitely wouldn't have brought it out!
And this stinking human? She was actually still suspecting him of faking it!
Did he have the time? Did he have the conditions?
As for Austin...
The Wolf King's expression became more solemn. He tried to steady his voice to answer: "It is the name of the first Wolf King!"
Such a question... he should have been answering it while bowing, with his head lowered, filled with infinite respect for the first Wolf King.
Unfortunately, reality was always so cruel.
His face was still under this human's foot.
The Wolf King wiped away bitter tears in his heart. He couldn't help but let out two low howls, which were meant to be pleas for mercy, but he was stepped on again by this human who didn't understand wolf nature.
