The moment they were surrounded by the pack of wolves, everyone was taken aback, because the number of wolves attacking them was much greater than the number of people in their team.
If it were just a matter of quantity, that would be fine; we might still have the strength to compete.
However, the truth is not so simple. This wolf pack not only outnumbered them, but was also stronger, with eight of them at the Nascent Soul stage.
The Demon Wolf King, protected by the pack of wolves, had already reached the early stage of the Fusion Realm.
On the other hand, the human team's Black Father is in the early stages of fusion and can fight against the Demon Wolf King.
However, during the distraction stage, the difference is as huge as a cliff.
There are only four people at the Nascent Soul stage: Hei Muran, the leader of the Hei family's guards, and one each from the Zang and Qu families. The rest are all at the Out-of-Body stage.
In other words, even at the Nascent Soul stage, they were already half as bad as the other side, which meant that they could only either seek peace or fight to the death.
Given such a clear disparity in strength, it was no surprise that everyone chose to try to reach a truce first. Hei Hongbo, also known as Hei's father, paused for a moment before stepping forward.
"Sir, we have no intention of disturbing you; we are merely passing by and have no intention of offending you. Would you be so kind as to allow us to pass?"
Like spirit beasts, magical beasts are all at the seventh rank and can speak human language. Coincidentally, the Demon Wolf King is at the seventh rank and in the Fusion stage.
Therefore, after Hei Hongbo finished speaking, the Demon Wolf King first scanned the crowd with his gaze, and finally landed on Hei Hongbo: "Unintentional offense? Stealing my child is considered unintentional offense?"
These words caused an immediate uproar. Not only was Hei Hongbo at the front of the crowd stunned, but the people behind him were also dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.
Some of the more clever ones even shouted in the crowd before Hei Hongbo could ask, "Who stole the wolf king's child? Return it to him right now!"
Of course, there were also those who held different opinions. Seeing that the Demon Wolf King did not start a fight directly, they assumed that the Demon Wolf King had a good temper and even tried to persuade him to make peace.
"Could it be a misunderstanding? No one would steal wolf cubs."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person who spoke was instantly locked onto by the Demon Wolf King, and in a flash, he was pulled in front of the Demon Wolf King, who stared at him with a chilling gaze.
"You mean I fabricated lies and framed you?" As he spoke, the Demon Wolf King's gaze swept over the man's neck as if he could bite it off at any moment.
Enveloped by murderous gazes, the man lost all his composure. His knees buckled, and he knelt down, pleading, "I...I dare not, Wolf...Wolf King, spare my life!"
Unfortunately, this time the Demon Wolf King did not hesitate. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and a beam of magical energy shot out at lightning speed.
The next moment, before Hei Hongbo could stop it, the person lying on the ground was cut in half and turned into two pieces.
With a loud thud, it crashed down, kicking up a cloud of dust, having been sliced to pieces by the Demon Wolf King.
Not only that, but even this person's nascent soul was crushed to death by the Demon Wolf King the moment his body was split apart. A cultivator in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm perished just like that.
Perhaps it was the blood that stimulated his senses, for the Demon Wolf King looked at the crowd again, his eyes filled with bloodlust and coldness: "Humans, hand over my child, or don't blame me for unleashing a massacre."
After saying that, perhaps feeling that verbal intimidation wasn't enough, it released its full power and swept it across the crowd.
If it weren't worried that the wolf cubs had already been contracted with someone and that its indiscriminate killing would endanger the children, it would want to kill all of these people right now, instead of just threatening them.
Thinking of the faint bloodline connection, the Demon Wolf King felt annoyed, and the intensity of his oppressive aura increased even further.
Hei Hongbo was also extremely shrewd. Seeing that the Demon Wolf King did not intend to use a fatal move, nor did he intend to stand against the other side, he only focused on protecting the Hei family members.
As for the others behind him, he only cared about whoever he felt like protecting. He didn't even bother to look at the Qu family members and Zang Wenxing, simply ignoring them.
As a result, almost the entire Qu family was affected by the oppressive force.
Except for the one in the Distraction stage who fared somewhat better, almost everyone else contributed a mouthful of blood, including Qu Ruxue and Zang Wenxing.
This was the first time Qu Ruxue had been treated like this. She knew that Hei Hongbo had done it on purpose, deliberately omitting the Qu family. She was filled with hatred, but there was nothing she could do, and she dared not make any rash moves.
The little wolf cub was currently unconscious inside the monster ring on her waist, and she dared not jump out at this moment, for fear of being discovered by the wolf king and endangering herself.
At the same time, Qu Ruxue cursed the Black Demon Tiger a thousand times in her heart.
What a useless piece of trash! It couldn't even catch a wolf cub properly, and it left clues that led the wolf to its location. Once this is over, she'll definitely give it a good beating.
Thinking of the exhilarating feeling after smoking the tiger, Qu Ruxue calmed down her anger a little.
As she was pondering how to escape if the Demon Wolf King didn't leave, she suddenly felt a cold gaze lock onto her.
She instinctively looked up and met the wolf king's bloodthirsty gaze: "Found it."
As these three words fell, Qu Ruxue felt her body fly up uncontrollably, heading straight towards the Demon Wolf King.
Thinking of what happened to that person, Qu Ruxue's pupils suddenly contracted, and she pointed at Shushu and Hei Wanran: "I'm reporting them. They tried to steal your wolf cubs."
This was like a huge calamity falling from the sky. Shushu was alright, as he already knew that Qu Ruxue was a person with no moral bottom line. But Hei Wanran was furious and started cursing at Qu Ruxue.
"You bitch, you're asking for death, and now you're slandering us. I didn't even know there were demon wolves here. What wolf cubs are you talking about? Do you think everyone is like you, who likes to steal? First you stole other people's men, and now you're stealing their cubs. I think you should stop calling yourself Qu Ruxue and start calling yourself Qu the Thief."
The more she cursed, the angrier she became. In the end, Hei Wanran even wanted to rush up and beat Qu Ruxue, but Shushu held her back.
As for why they weren't taken away by the Demon Wolf King, firstly, they didn't have the aura of the Black Demon Tiger on them, and secondly, they were stopped by Hei Hongbo.
What a joke! He turns a blind eye to people being taken away right under his nose, but if someone tries to harm his daughter or kidnap someone from his gang, he'll fight them to the death.
The Demon Wolf King and Hei Hongbo stared at each other for a while, neither willing to back down. Finally, the Demon Wolf King withdrew his gaze and looked at Qu Ruxue, who had been swept up in front of him: "Where is my child?"
Although it was a question, the Demon Wolf King's eyes had already begun to scan Qu Ruxue, finally landing on the demon beast ring at her waist.
