Chapter 1071 - Rise of the Wolf King
Chapter 1071: Rise of the Wolf King
Ice Storm told Meng Chao that her initial idea was very simple. She wanted to settle down temporarily in the Blood Skull Arena. On one hand, she wanted to trade between Black-corner City and Red-gold City. On the other hand, she wanted to collect information about the leopards from the wandering warriors who had fled from the Gold Clan to the Blood Hoof Clan. She wanted to know more about the customs and family pedigree of the leopards.
So that one day, she could play the role of a real panther warrior vividly and sneak into Red-gold City.
Besides, she could hone her totem power in the arena.
After all, in the land of Holy Light, although she had the talent to activate totems, she did not dare to use it in actual combat.
Obviously, the line-up to hunt down a witch and the line-up to hunt down a “Witch who uses totem power”were definitely two different things.
At that time, if she had dared to show even the slightest bit of totem power, she would have been killed by the night watchmen with her mother ten years earlier.
However, ice storm did not expect her talent in totem power to be so high.
After only a few battles, her innate talent was awakened from the depths of her bloodline.
Soon, she stood out from the Gladiators and became the trump card of the Bloody Skull Arena.
Even the master of the Bloody Skull Arena, Casanova bloodhoof, wanted to recruit her.
Unfortunately, the ice storm did not have the fortune to accept Casanova’s ‘good intentions’.
Firstly, during the blood bestowing ceremony, when she was surrounded by seven or eight witch doctors and priests, the power of the Holy Light in her body could not be hidden.
Moreover, the ice storm had no interest in joining the bloodhoof family to seize the so-called ‘glory’.
With her dual bloodline, she didn’t want to get involved in the 10,000-year war between the land of Holy Light and Tu Lanze and become a chess piece.
She just wanted to figure out the mystery of her birth.
And, she just wanted to avenge her mother.
There was one more thing ice storm didn’t say, but Meng Chao could guess it.
Although she said that she didn’t expect the scene of “Filial piety”.
After her mother’s death, her father was, after all, her last family member in this world.
Meng Chao estimated that when she was planning to go to the territory of the Gold clan, she felt a little “Homesick.”.
She did not know how to face her father who had left without saying goodbye 20 to 30 years ago.
She was even less willing to speculate on her father’s motive for taking away her mother’s important items back then, or even his motive for getting close to her.
Many things were best buried in the sands of time.
That was why she hesitated and stayed in black-corner city.
It wasn’t until the glorious era arrived and her identity was exposed by Casanova that she could no longer escape.
“Then, do you know the specific information about Father Now?”
Meng Chao Thought for a moment and asked, “As you said, your father suffers from a special congenital disease. His hair is much less than the other leopards, and his skin color is much fairer. With such obvious characteristics, you should be able to find out more or less about his current situation, right?”
“Yes.”
Ice storm nodded and said, “I found out that your father didn’t stay with the other leopards. Instead, he stayed with the leader of the Wolf Clan, ‘Jackal’kanus, and acted as his counselor.”
“What!”
Meng Chao jumped up as if he had been stabbed by an icicle.
“Huh?”
Ice Storm looked at him in surprise. “Why is your reaction so strong? Did I say something wrong?”
“No, no.”
Meng Chao took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Is your father staying with the leader of the werewolves?”
“Yes. The information I got from the travelers and the traders didn’t give my father much of a good review.”
Ice Storm said, “Because he was born with a disease, his hair was sparse, and his skin was fair, the clansmen thought that he lacked heroism. At the same time, he didn’t seem to be good at fighting. Although he wasn’t weak enough to become a rat, he was still a clown and a joke in the mouths of the Panther warriors.
“He didn’t seem to be keen on fighting, either, but he traveled around and collected lost heroic epic fragments as his biggest interest and lifelong job. He seemed to be continuing to play the role of a bard.
“In short, the Panther warriors all thought that he was a loafer who didn’t do his job. Naturally, he wasn’t qualified to hold an important position in the family.
“He ran into obstacles everywhere and asked for trouble. As time passed, he could only hang out with fellows like ‘Jackal’Kanus!”
“Is that so?”
Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.
He did not think that a high-level orc who had the courage to sneak into the land of Holy Light alone twenty to thirty years ago would be a ‘loafer who did not do his job properly’.
Compared to the warriors of the clan who were well-developed and simple-minded, he was more interested in this unusual leopard man.
The last sentence of the ice storm made Meng Chao slightly stunned.
“A guy like ‘Jackal’kanus?”
Meng Chao thought quickly and said hesitantly, “I’ve heard of this name before. He should be the wolf king who controls all the werewolves in Tu Lanze.
“Although in the Gold clan, the werewolf warriors are not a match for the Lion Man and the Tigermen in terms of fighting alone, their advantage lies in their strong reproductive ability and large numbers. The Wolf Clan’s army has made many meritorious contributions in the previous battles of glory.
“Why? When you mentioned ‘Jackal’kanus, your tone was very contemptuous. is the reputation of this wolf king not too good
“Of course. You Don’t understand the situation of the gold clan, but everyone in Crimson Gold City knows about it. The so-called ‘Wolf King’Kanus is just a puppet of the lion and Tigermen!”
Ice Storm told Meng Chao that it was precisely because the werewolves’reproductive ability was far stronger than the lion and Tigermen. They were the tribe with the largest population in the gold clan and possessed the potential to become the clan leader.
Therefore, for thousands of years, they had been deeply feared by the golden clan’s “Two heroes”– the lion-men and the tigermen — and had suppressed them with all their might.
The internal strife of the golden clan was even more intense and mysterious than the internal strife of the Blood Hoof clan.
After all, the “Two heroes”of the Blood Hoof clan, the Tauren and the wild boar-men, were not famous for their Quick Wits.
The Tauren and wild boar-men, who knew everything, preferred to measure the diameter of their fists directly to decide who was the leader of the Blood Hoof clan.
On the golden clan’s side, the Tigermen, lion-men, werewolves, and leopard-men were all born hunters and backstabbing experts.
The show of these hunters fighting for power and benefits was a hundred times more thrilling and exciting than the bloody hoof clan’s.
After thousands of years of fighting in the open and in the dark, the lion-men and Tigermen who occupied the dominant position had long had a very mature method of controlling the large number of werewolves.
It was nothing more than threatening and bribing, dividing and suppressing, weeding out the strong and supporting the weak, stirring up conflicts between the various clans and settlements within the werewolves, causing the werewolves to be in a state of disunity.
In this state, any werewolf would find it difficult to convince the masses. If they wanted to rise to power, they would have to obtain the support of external forces, which were the lion-men and Tigermen. Step by step, they would sink into the quagmire, and in the end, they would not be able to control themselves or be loyal to them, they would be reduced to the puppet of the lion-men.
The ‘Jackal’Kanus was a textbook-like puppet.
“There are rumors that Kanus is not a pure-blooded werewolf, but a ‘gnoll’.”
Ice storm said, “Although the ‘Gnoll’and ‘wolf’clans are often mixed together, and the kinship between them is very close.
“However, compared to the werewolves who are qualified to challenge the lion-tiger duo, the gnolls are closer to the dog-men, and their strength is relatively weaker.
“After becoming the clan leader, Kanus tried his best to dispel the ‘rumors’and invited the respected Wolf Priestess to verify his bloodline. However, it should be confirmed that he possessed part of the gnolls’bloodline.
“Due to the limitation of his bloodline, Kanus was not very strong before he became famous. At that time, he had an extremely insulting nickname called ‘corpse-eating dog’.
“Of course, that doesn’t mean that he would really eat the corpses of his enemies.
“Instead, in order to survive, he played the role of dissecting the corpses of Totem beasts and collecting the fragments of totem armors and totem cores in the team that hunted totem beasts
“Is that so?”
Hearing this, Meng Chao was slightly stunned.
Wasn’t the so-called ‘corpse-eating dog’The Reaper of the Tulan civilization!
Who would have thought that the future “Doomsday Wolf”would still be in the same line of work as him!
“To perfectly gather all the materials on the totem beast, the level of technology is very high!”Meng Chao couldn’t help but say.
“That’s true.”
Ice Storm said, “However, the Tulan people don’t place much importance on the gathering work, they place more importance on combat strength. Only those who dare to face the totem beast head-on and fight with the fastest speed are the true heroes! “Those who only know how to use knives on the corpse of the totem beast will naturally be despised by others.”
“Then, how did this ‘corpse-eating dog’suddenly transform into the leader of the Wolf Clan?”Meng Chao listened with great interest and could not help but ask.
“Naturally, it is because this fellow has no dignity and backbone at all. He grovels to the lion-man and tigerman powerhouses and flatters them to the extreme.”
Ice storm said, “Ever since ‘Jackal’kanus became the leader of the Wolf clan, he ruthlessly suppressed and expelled a large number of wolf warriors who did not obey him. Many werewolves ended up in Black Horn City.
“I heard from the werewolf gladiators in the Blood Skull Arena that this guy joined a hunting team that mainly consisted of lion and Tigerman. He racked his brains to serve the lion and Tigerman powerhouses comfortably.
“One day, this hunting team received a mission to accompany a noble of the golden family to hunt a very rare totem beast.
“Along the way, kanus used all his skills to win the favor of the noble and became the noble’s servant. He could serve the noble all day long.
“As the noble’s position in the golden family became more and more grand, kanus naturally followed the fox and pretended to be the tiger. He relied on the power of the man.
“At this time, several powerhouses of the Wolf clan appeared one after another, which made the lions and tigers feel pressured.
“Therefore, after a series of open and secret battles, the powerhouses of the Wolf clan who might challenge the position of the Lions and Tigers died one after another. They either became origin warriors or disappeared without a trace in the wilderness.
“Kashava, the loyal dog who was loyal to the Lions and tigers, was put on the stage and became the ruler of dozens of towns and settlements of the Wolf clan
