Chapter 660: Pursued
There were only two Lunar Wolf Kings that had ever been discovered until today.
One was Divine Sword Duxiu’s mount and it had already been killed by Landi. The other one was the pup of the Divine Sword Duxiu’s mount. That meant that at the present day, only one existed.
It had fur of silver and there was a crescent moon on its forehead, glowing a soft silver light.
Originally, he was well hidden. Almost perfect. No one knew he was the one that had taken the treasure.
But what made him feel helpless was that he did not expect that the last building would contain a living creature, and he even knew that he had received Divine Sword Duxiu’s inheritance.
Not only that, he had even exposed his ident.i.ty.
‘Fine, if I’m exposed then I’m exposed. But brother, if you are just as powerful as Lingjie has said with your power at the peak of Heaven Realm, I don’t need to even run. I didn’t expect that you would be so famous, but your power is quite weak, only reaching the Black Realm One Star. We’re done for. There are going to be a lot of people pursuing us after this!’ He thought to himself as he looked at the very beautiful, very cool Lunar Wolf King that he was riding on.
Now that things had already progressed to this point, he did not think too much about it after sighing.
He simply had to deal with them as they came.
He believed that the group of people would eventually relax on their hunt for him.
Compared to being targeted by Tathagata in Divine Dominion, these were small problems.
While Chuge, Stanza, and Lingjie were all very powerful and were on the Tianji leaderboard, these three could not threaten his life.
The Lunar Wolf seemed to be very familiar with Wuw.a.n.g Peak. It quickly ran past the cave and left where the treasure was.
The person on the lead that was chasing behind them was Chuge, followed by Stanza and Lingjie who were pursuing him at high speed as well.
“Boy, give up the treasures and I will spare you!” Chuge finally knew who was the one that pinned the blame on him. It was the man that sneered at him back in the Tianji Building. The moment he thought about that, he wanted to kill Jiang Feng even more.
Jiang Feng did not pay any attention to Zhuge and continued to run down Wuw.a.n.g Peak as he mounted the Lunar Wolf King.
As the Lunar Wolf King was a monster, its stamina and speed far exceeded a player’s stamina and speed.
Not to mention that as the players moved fast, their Inner Chi would also deplete very fast.
After half an hour, Chuge, Stanza, and Lingjie had almost expended all their Inner Chi. In the end, they chose to give up on chasing after Jiang Feng.
“Boy, just you wait. Never show yourself in front of me or I will kill you! And I will do it again and again!” Chuge roared out angrily.
“Boy! I advise you to just give up the treasures, or you will be pursued by the Nameless Tavern and G.o.d-Slayer Palace!” Stanza said.
“Just continue running! I am not chasing you anymore. Go. Run! I know what you look like now. As long as you do not give up that treasure, you will live the life of being pursued!” Lingjie said.
Jiang Feng did not respond to the three of them, but simply gave them all a middle finger, showing them a hand sign that the entire universe recognized.
Next, he left behind the three very angry people riding on the Lunar Wolf King.
“d.a.m.n it! Don’t you two have a lot of fans? Have the entire Leisi City chase him down! I will not rest until I have my vengeance!” Chuge said to Stanza and Lingjie next to him angrily.
“Alright,” Stanza and Lingjie nodded.
Originally, Stanza and Lingji thought it was Chuge that stole the treasure, and they were very unhappy with Chuge. But now that the truth had been revealed, the two of them did not want to make a powerful enemy. However, they were also quite interested in the treasure. Otherwise, they would not have come here. That was why they did not object to Chuge’s suggestion.
***
In order to stop anyone from being able to chase them down, Jiang Feng rode on the Lunar Wolf King and did not stop the whole way.
Only after the Lunar Wolf King’s chi had almost been depleted did it begin to slow down.
Once beside a stream, Jiang Feng then asked the Lunar Wolf King that was drinking the water, “Are you Divine Sword Duxiu’s mount? Why is your power so low?”
The Lunar Wolf King did not expect Jiang Feng to know the Beast Tongue and he was initially stunned. And then, his eyes flashed with interest. “Howl! I didn’t know that you could speak the Beast Tongue. Did you not hear what the people that were pursuing us said? I am not Divine Sword Duxiu’s mount, my mother was. But my mother had already been slain by Sword Saint Landi. The reason that I am following you is to avenge my mother’s death! It is also quite easy if you want to increase my power. All I need are some Moon Essence and Bright Moon Pill.”
“What is Moon Essence? What are the Bright Moon Pills?” Jiang Feng asked curiously.
T/L Note: Moon Essence appeared once earlier during the part when he was trying to save Sun Wukong.
The Lunar Wolf King then explained, “The Moon Essence is something that the Moon Lotus absorbs. If you can find the Moon Lotus, you can then get some Moon Essence. It can increase Combat Rating and Inner Chi. The Bright Moon Pill is a pill created using the Moon Lotus. Its effect is even stronger than the Moon Essence, but both of them are quite expensive!”
Jiang Feng then asked him, “Do you know the price of the Moon Essence and bright Moon Pill?”
The Lunar Wolf King nodded and said, “It is not that expensive. One drop of Lunar Essence is only 1,000 gold pieces. The Bright Moon Pill is slightly more expensive. One is around 50,000 gold pieces!”
“Sh*t, and you say that they are not expensive?!”
If he only needed them once, that was fine. But the Lunar Wolf King needed to feed on them long term, how many gold pieces would he need?
Even if his net worth was several million, just feeding him these would make him poor in less than a week.
The Lunar Wolf King then said, “Divine Sword Duxiu originally left 1,000,000 gold pieces for me. Unfortunately, I didn’t manage to take them with me, if not I could have given them to you so that you can buy these items for me.”
d.a.m.n it, 1,000,000!
He knew that the Lunar Wolf King was lying on a bed of gold coins, but because he could only somewhat have a look, he did not know its exact amount. When he heard what the Lunar King said, he regretted not opening that building first.
1,000,000 would be enough to buy an Earth-Rank Treasure.
“It’s alright. Follow me from now on, and I’ll do my best to help you grow,” Jiang Feng said. He had never said that he did not want the Lunar Wolf King, but he was simply whining about his power earlier.
While his power was slightly low, he could still at least help him out a little. Even if he brought him along, there were no losses to him. Not to mention that with the Monster Trans.m.u.tation System at hand, all he needed to do at the end was to give him some beast pills. He could still grow eventually.
“Help!”
Just as he was walking together with the Lunar Wolf King by the stream and thinking about where to next, he suddenly heard the call for help from afar.
“Master, someone is calling for help,” The Lunar Wolf King quickly said to Jiang Feng because his hearing was much sharper than his.
“Don’t call me master, just call me boss.”
He liked the t.i.tle boss to the point where he could not stop himself.
He thought that he was hearing things when he heard the call for help, but seeing that the Lunar Wolf King said the same thing, he was not simply imagining things. Someone really was calling for help.
“Come on. Let’s go and take a look!” Because he was being chased after by Chuge, Stanza, and Lingjie, three elites on the Tianji Leaderboard, he did not know where to go next anyway. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well go take a look. There might be some other opportunities waiting for him there.
