Chapter 360 359. Challenge of the Wolf Leader
On the tenth floor of the dungeon, the open space in the center of the werewolf settlement.
At this time, all the werewolves, whether they chose to leave or stay, except Karen, gathered here.
As for Karen, she cared more about how to defeat Norris than the future of her compatriots.
The atmosphere in the open space was tense. Led by the old wolf with completely white fur but still tall, they formed a semicircle and confronted Xiao Lan and the other half-mushroom wolves who had chosen to leave but now returned to the tenth floor.
The old wolf leader took a step forward, digging his claws deep into the ground, as if ready to attack at any moment. "You expelled traitors... How dare you come back? Are you looking for death?"
Little Blue wasn't frightened at all. Instead, he said, "Did you know? Werewolves can actually turn into humans when they bask in the sun. In the Far North, relying solely on fur won't keep you warm. Delicious mushroom stew is really delicious..."
"What do you want to say?" Old Wolf interrupted his chatter.
"I mean, look here, there's nothing!" Xiaolan moved his shoulders and stretched his body, then took a step forward and faced the old wolf. "I, Ulfgang Shadow Howl Violet Hammond, challenge you to the position of leader according to the rules! I want to take everyone out with me!"
After Xiao Lan finished speaking, there was an immediate buzz of discussion in the room. Even the old wolf himself didn't expect that it would be the alpha wolf who challenged him.
After all, the current situation is favorable to Xiaolan.
It seems that the number of werewolves on both sides is similar. There are even many werewolves on the old wolf's side that have reached the LV50 level cap, which is a higher level.
But as we age, our functions decline.
Many of the young werewolves on his side are bound by their own prestige and long-standing tribal regulations, but in fact they are wavering in their hearts.
Although he spoke harshly, as if he wanted to bite Xiaolan and the others to death, he knew in his heart that he was the one who didn't dare to act rashly!
In that case, regardless of winning or losing, the tribe will be destroyed.
And Xiaolan actually challenged the leader of the pack, giving up his greatest advantage to fight him in a one-on-one duel?!
If you look into it, this is actually against the tribal rules. After all, Xiaolan and the others have been expelled and are no longer members of the tribe, so they are not qualified to initiate a challenge.
But the rules are dead, and the old wolf is alive. There is no reason to give up an option that is more beneficial to oneself.
He knew Xiao Lan's abilities well. He thought he was pretty good among the younger generation, but he was still far from being as good as him!
Looking at Xiao Lan, he was wearing nothing but a pair of white shorts made of unknown material.
Without equipment to make up for the gap, it is impossible to completely transform oneself in just a few months, right?
However, although Xiaolan's proposal was beneficial to Laolang, he was still angered by the challenge.
That time, Karen just wanted to take away her personal freedom, but now Xiaolan wants to take away everything!
How could Lao Lang not be angry?
"Good! Good! Good!" The old wolf laughed in anger, his murderous intent spreading like a substance. "Since you, a mushroom-stinking brat, are seeking death, I will use your blood to tell all my tribe the fate of traitors!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old wolf's body suddenly burst out with terrifying speed, and his sharp claws went straight to Xiao Lan's heart!
Faced with the old wolf's sudden lack of martial ethics, Xiao Lan was unable to react. In a hurry, he jumped back half a step too late and was stabbed in the chest by the old wolf's claw.
But only half of the finger was inserted before Xiaolan pulled it away.
So hard!
It's like wearing armor!
"Old thing! You attacked me by surprise!" Xiao Lan cursed immediately when he felt that he was almost defeated.
"Stop talking nonsense! The battle begins the moment you say 'Alpha Wolf Challenge'!"
Then, the two figures collided and separated violently at an astonishing speed, and their sharp claws tore through the air, making a sharp scream.
Every attack of the old wolf was cunning and ruthless, carrying with it the pure killing intent accumulated from years of fighting, and he focused on the vital points without mercy.
Its level and experience clearly suppress Xiaolan.
However, Xiao Lan's offensive seemed somewhat restrained. Facing the violent attack of the old wolf, he mainly relied on blocking and dodging. Even when he fought back, he subconsciously avoided the fatal points. It seemed that he was not determined to kill the old wolf.
This is a matchup that seems to have a huge disparity in strength.
However, the strange thing was that no matter how fierce the old wolf's attacks were, and no matter how many wounds the wolf claws tore on Xiao Lan's body, it could never cause any real serious injuries. Even later on, the initial injuries like the chest had actually stopped bleeding and started to heal!
The old wolf's breathing became heavier, and for the first time, disbelief and anger appeared in his eyes.
There was also a commotion among the wolves watching the battle. Some of the more perceptive werewolves had already realized that something was wrong. This battle, which was thought to end quickly with thundering force, was actually developing into a war of attrition.
Lin Jun was not surprised by this situation, and even felt a little disgusted with Xiao Lan's performance.
After all, for this "alpha wolf challenge", Lin Jun invested a lot of money in Xiao Lan!
[Physical Resistance LV10], [Regeneration LV6], [Mycelium Reorganization LV8], [Sharpness LV10].
Although they look naked, they are actually armed to the teeth!
Because of this, Lin Jun was quite dissatisfied with Xiao Lan's restrained behavior and kept whispering in Xiao Lan's mind, providing "wartime psychological counseling":
"Hesitation will lead to defeat! You'll be the one who gets killed if you're soft-hearted! Poke him in the eyes! Kick him in the groin! Don't show mercy! That claw he just struck was meant to rip you apart! Are you a werewolf? Where's your ferocity?!"
Under the instigation of Lin Jun's whispers, and the deadly and ruthless pressure from Lao Lang, the last hesitation in Xiao Lan's eyes was finally replaced by ruthlessness.
His attacks were no longer conservative; his movements became wilder and more deadly, and the shrieking sound of his claws tearing through the air became more and more shrill.
Seeing this, Lin Jun was finally satisfied, the time was almost right.
Just as the old wolf pounced again, its sharp claws colliding with Xiao Lan's blocking forearm, drawing blood and wolf hair, a few inconspicuous little mushrooms quickly and silently grew out from the old wolf's foothold!
Snap!
The old wolf crushed the mushrooms into pieces, and a slippery feeling came from the soles of his feet!
The old wolf's center of gravity suddenly lost balance, his left foot slipped suddenly, and his whole body tilted to one side uncontrollably, revealing a fatal flaw!
Xiao Lan didn't think about this, and was driven purely by fighting instinct. His sharp claws with [Sharpness LV10] easily pierced through the old wolf's chest!
The old wolf's forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. It lowered its head in disbelief, looking at the bloody wolf claw that had completely penetrated its chest and pierced through its back.
Before the severe pain could fully reach the brain, life force had already rapidly faded away with the rupture of the heart.
Xiaolan was also stunned. He didn't expect the battle to end so suddenly.
The old wolf opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but only blood gushed out.
Finally, its huge body fell forward heavily, splashing a cloud of dust, and it completely lost its life.
The entire werewolf settlement fell into deathly silence.
After a brief silence, the young werewolves behind Xiaolan who had followed and surrendered burst into wild cheers!
"We win!"
According to tribal tradition, the challenger who kills the old leader in a fair fight will become the rightful new king of the tribe!
It took Xiao Lan a long time to recover from his daze, and then he issued his first order as the new Wolf King:
The entire clan will move out of the tenth floor, and those who choose to stay will be considered expelled!
This time, except for a few, most of the werewolves followed Xiaolan.
