Chapter 315 314. Fun

Lange and Karen were not the first werewolves to sneak down after Xiaolan, but the third group.

The first two groups of young werewolves who returned are now being held captive with Xiao Lan.

Two strong old wolves came forward and held Lange and Karen's shoulders respectively.

Karen didn't resist, but she wasn't afraid either. She stared at the chief with her wolf eyes and asked loudly in a voice that everyone could hear:

"Ulfgang is right, the outside world is a thousand times better than this cramped little place!

You old guys are willing to huddle here and rot, I don't care! But you still want to restrict me?

Can you control me and all the young wolves?

What are you going to do? Kill all the wolves that escape? Or lock us up forever?

I tell you, once I'm released, I'll go out again! And I won't come back next time!

Not only will I not come back, but all the wolves that go out will never come back!

When the time comes, will you old bones come out to catch us?"

Bang!

A heavy fist hit Karen's face hard, and a bloody wolf fang flew out on the spot.

The one who attacked was an old wolf who was extremely angry. Karen spat out a mouthful of blood and just glanced at him with an indifferent look.

This completely infuriated the opponent, and just as more fists were about to fall, the old wolf's swung claws were firmly grasped by another older but equally powerful hand.

"Chief?" The old wolf who took action looked at the old chief who tried to stop him in confusion, but still obediently stepped aside.

"Karen, we should stay here and wait for the Demon Lord's return. This is the long-cherished wish of our heritage. Leaving here would be a betrayal to the Demon Lord."

Their eyes met, but Karen did not see anger in the old patriarch's eyes. There was only pain, helplessness, and even a hint of pleading in his eyes.

The complex look in the patriarch's eyes made Karen hesitate for a moment, but soon, his strong sense of self and desire for freedom overwhelmed this trace of pity: "That's not the long-cherished wish of all werewolves! That's you, the long-cherished wish of you old wolves! As for the Demon King?"

Her voice suddenly rose, filled with determination. "We didn't see him when we were born! He didn't show up when our parents were killed by humans! Even now, where is he? You may not know this, but some werewolves in the tribe have a lot of complaints about that demon king, but I don't! Because I never felt that he had anything to do with me! Not to mention the loyalty you mentioned!"

As if he had anticipated Karen's answer, the last glimmer of light in the old patriarch's eyes dimmed, and he just took a step back silently.

"How dare you blaspheme the Demon King like this! You deserve to be bitten to death!" Some old wolves roared angrily and wanted to pounce on Karen and tear him to pieces.

The old patriarch raised his hand to stop them, and even signaled to release his grip on Lange and Karen.

Soon, Xiaolan and six other young werewolves who had been imprisoned were brought out and retreated to Karen and the others.

"You guys go," the old patriarch said in a heavy voice, "don't come back."

"Chief! We can't let them go! Otherwise, the other young wolf cubs will..."

"If anyone else wants to leave," the old patriarch looked around, "then go with them. I won't restrict those who want to leave... I can't restrict them anymore."

His gaze finally fell on Karen. "Karen, you're right. Waiting for the Demon King's return is my lifelong wish. Therefore, I will stay here until my death, along with those of my tribe who still believe in this long-cherished wish. As for you, leave now, and never come back. The next time we meet, I'll bite your throat out."

The young wolves looked at each other and exchanged opinions in low voices.

In the end, in addition to the nine werewolves who had already gone down, three more young werewolves came out with gritted teeth.

There are far more young werewolves than this, and naturally there are more than a dozen who yearn for the outside world, but the vast majority of werewolves cannot make the choice to change their destiny like Karen did.

A total of twelve werewolves were permanently exiled from the tenth floor where they had spent their entire lives, under the gazes of many complicated people.

…

Just half a day later, Karen appeared in the Fire Demon Cave again.

At this time, Norris and Qiong had already left.

The three young werewolves who had stepped into this place for the first time were looking around curiously, feeling extremely surprised by everything around them.

Little Blue opened his wolf mouth wide, looking back at the empty stairs behind him, then at Karen who looked calm, and finally pointed at himself with his paw, looking confused: "No... Wait a minute? Why am I exiled?"

He was originally thinking that he would find an opportunity to sneak down and play again after his confinement was over!

Now, the opportunity is right at my doorstep, and I don’t even have to “sneak away”.

Karen crossed her arms, but didn't bother to explain.

At this time, a bird flapped its wings and flew over, landing on the little blue furry head.

Xiao Lan twitched his nose and sniffed - hmm, it was that familiar yet subtly different smell again.

After a moment, Little Blue said to the other werewolves: "Big Mushroom asked us if we were in trouble and asked if we wanted to visit his mushroom garden!"

"Huh? How do you communicate?" a werewolf asked curiously.

"That's it!" Xiao Lan directly pulled aside the thick hair on his chest, revealing the faint traces of gray-white mycelium that had been intertwined with his skin and flesh.

For these young werewolves who had lived their entire lives on the tenth floor, the concept of "parasitism" was completely unknown. They gathered around in amazement, asking how to acquire this "communication ability" and expressing their desire to try it themselves.

After getting the consent, everyone was full of anticipation.

Lin Jun was not in a hurry to parasitize, but instead asked Xiao Lan to take the werewolves to the mushroom garden to settle down first, and discuss other matters later.

…

Twelve werewolves.

This number is much smaller than Lin Jun expected.

I originally thought that I could take away at least half of the more than one hundred werewolves!

This is all "thanks" to the old werewolf chief and...Karen.

The original plan was to let the yearning for freedom spread quietly among the werewolf tribe, so that as many werewolves as possible could witness the beauty and vastness of the outside world through repeated "outside experiences".

After the hearts of most young werewolves have been aroused, they will be encouraged to take as many of their fellow tribesmen as possible away.

But no one expected that Karen, who was strong-willed and capable of taking action, would trigger all this in advance.

The old patriarch was also extremely decisive. He immediately expelled all the young werewolves who showed centrifugal tendencies in the name of "exile", completely eliminating the possibility of the "dangerous ideas" continuing to spread.

This harsh way of dealing with the situation did temporarily deter the other werewolves who were restless but dared not act, and suppressed their desire to go down and find out what was going on.

Although in the long run, this move will not change anything, as it is the general trend.

But in the short term, it did effectively delay Lin Jun's plan to incorporate the entire werewolf tribe.

Faced with the unexpected setback in his plan, Lin Jun did not feel angry.

On the contrary, it's quite entertaining!

While he was steadily advancing his plan, the other party was struggling and resisting with all his might, even in such an ugly manner... This scene was also one of Lin Jun's pleasures.
