Chapter 37
C37 – The Ugly Miniature Ferocious Beast
The High Priest responded with due reverence, “Certainly!”
Promptly, the clansman who was to lead the way hurried over.
Jiang Que followed the guide northward, toward where Roger was located. The miniature ferocious beast, seeing Jiang Que about to depart the valley, was visibly thrilled. Perhaps due to its excessive excitement, it clambered up Jiang Que’s right leg and perched atop his head. However, Jiang Que swiftly grasped the creature and tossed it down without ceremony.
Left with no choice, the miniature ferocious beast began to run, striving to keep pace with Jiang Que. After several minutes, it hatched a plan. Picking up speed, it darted ahead of the guide and clambered onto his head. The guide, not daring to oppose the actions of the Patriarch’s pet, proceeded with utmost care, careful not to jostle his head and dislodge the beast.
Jiang Que was indifferent to these petty antics. As long as the creature refrained from scaling his head again, it was free to do as it wished. Along the journey, he checked the Strongest Talent System.
Host: Jiang Que
Sphere of Influence: 12,000 square kilometers
Talent Bonus: 0.012x
The Four Great Armies had made commendable progress over the past several days. Jiang Que’s dominion had expanded beyond the valley, and his sphere of influence now spanned 12,000 square kilometers. Consequently, his talent bonus had risen to 1.2%. This meant his innate talent now surpassed the highest level within the Human Race by 1.2%. Although the effects on his daily cultivation were subtle, his talent bonus had seen a ten-thousand-fold increase from just over a fortnight ago. And this was merely the beginning.
After traversing hills and valleys, he arrived at his destination within half an hour.
“Patriarch!”
In a grove, Roger and the other clansmen hung their heads in embarrassment, unwilling to meet Jiang Que’s gaze. Jiang Que surveyed the group. Only Roger and a handful of clansmen had sustained minor injuries; the rest were unscathed. As there were no fatalities, the situation was within Jiang Que’s expectations, leaving him without discontent.
On Flame Mountain, there were ferocious beasts even Jiang Que could not vanquish, so it was entirely normal for Roger and his group to encounter unbeatable beasts. This was well within his predictions.
Jiang Que spoke up, “No worries. Fill me in on this ferocious beast!”
Relieved that Jiang Que wasn’t upset with them, Roger exhaled and quickly described the beast.
It resembled a massive black wolf, stretching about ten meters in length and standing five to six meters tall.
The beast was not only swift and powerful but could also emit a highly toxic black mist.
Moreover, it roamed exclusively in the open grasslands, rendering Roger and his team powerless against it.
“I’ve just checked the map. It’s a Level 14 Poisonous Wolf. I’m curious if Jiang Que has the strength to take it down.”
“It’s hard to say. Jiang Que managed to defeat a Level 10 Green Leopard when he was at Spirit Release Stage Level 1. Now, at Spirit Release Stage Level 6 and with mastery of the Cloud Stepping Spell, which allows him to move faster than sound, his power has significantly improved.”
“Even though the Level 14 Poisonous Wolf isn’t very large, its power is on a whole different level than the Level 10 Green Leopard.”
“What’s more, this Poisonous Wolf is quite sly. It sticks to the grasslands and can launch widespread attacks with its poisonous fog, making it exceedingly difficult for Jiang Que to take it down.”
“I believe Jiang Que has a high chance of defeating this Poisonous Wolf. His speed surpasses the speed of sound, and he’s capable of long-range attacks.”
“By leveraging his speed and the Thorn Fruit, he can launch distant attacks and wear down its stamina. That way, he could finish it off.”
“The intelligence of a Level 14 Poisonous Wolf is not to be underestimated. It’s unlikely to let itself be worn out by Jiang Que.”
The viewers in the live stream were debating whether Jiang Que could slay this Level 14 Poisonous Wolf.
The opinions were split, with a ratio of about six to four.
This meant that sixty percent believed Jiang Que might struggle to kill the Poisonous Wolf with his current abilities.
Meanwhile, forty percent were confident that Jiang Que could likely use his speed and long-range tactics to defeat the Poisonous Wolf.
“You all wait here. I’m going to check it out.” Without hesitation, Jiang Que moved through the small forest.
Jiang Que pondered, “Can I kill the Poisonous Wolf? There’s only one way to find out. Roger mentioned that although the Poisonous Wolf is agile, it’s not as fast as him and his group. If they can keep up with the Poisonous Wolf using a weakened version of the Cloud Stepping Spell, then I should have no trouble at all.”
He followed the direction Roger had indicated and left the small grove.
Before him stretched a vast grassland.
After walking several hundred meters, Jiang Que spotted a massive wolf with jet-black fur.
As he was about to approach, the miniature ferocious beast at his feet began frantically gesturing.
It seemed eager to take the lead and slay the Poisonous Wolf.
Jiang Que had no interest in entertaining its antics. Clutching a handful of Thorn Fruits, he made a beeline for the giant wolf.
Despite the miniature ferocious beast’s rapid growth in strength, it was only equivalent to a Level 4 ferocious beast at present.
A confrontation with the Poisonous Wolf would surely be fatal for the creature.
Feeling snubbed, the miniature ferocious beast sulked.
It darted past Jiang Que, charging full tilt at the Poisonous Wolf.
Jiang Que halted in his tracks.
Safety was paramount, and besides, the miniature ferocious beast wouldn’t die.
He reasoned, “If the miniature ferocious beast is keen on leading the charge, I might as well let it. It’s a good opportunity to gauge the Poisonous Wolf’s capabilities. Besides, keeping this miniature ferocious beast by my side at this stage seems to have its perks.”
The miniature ferocious beast confronted the Poisonous Wolf, yapping furiously at it.
The Poisonous Wolf glanced at the tiny creature, barely taller than a few centimeters and smaller than its own eyes, then dismissively turned away.
It utterly disregarded the miniature ferocious beast.
The miniature ferocious beast, having endured repeated mistreatment and disregard from Jiang Que, yet shamelessly continued to follow him, was clearly irate.
Infuriated by the Poisonous Wolf’s indifference, its golden fur bristled.
In a flash, the fur on the beast’s front transformed into a volley of golden steel needles, launching at the Poisonous Wolf.
In a flash, the front half of the miniature ferocious beast was laid bare, revealing even its tiny, matchstick-sized genitalia.
The golden hair needles were incredibly potent, yet the Poisonous Wolf’s fur boasted an even greater defense. Upon striking the Poisonous Wolf, the dense swarm of golden needles merely produced a series of metallic clangs before falling away.
“I can’t bear to watch this!”
“There’s no question about the gender of this miniature ferocious beast now.”
“This has to be the most brazen ferocious beast I’ve ever encountered.”
“It’s surprisingly powerful. The scanner indicates there are more than ten thousand hairs, each as hard as a steel needle. Furthermore, these hairs can launch at speeds of over three hundred meters per second, easily capable of piercing the body of a regular wild beast.”
“The method of attack is highly unconventional. While some ferocious beasts do use their hair as a projectile weapon, none are like this miniature ferocious beast, which doesn’t spare a single hair.”
Viewers in the live broadcast were finding it hard to watch.
