Chapter 1813: Chapter 1811: Reaching a Consensus
"Awooo!"
The Xuanming Demon Wolf quickly nodded its head.
Seeing this, Chen Feng casually said, "Let me be honest with you. Your master is already dead. You’re currently without a master, so there’s no need for you to keep being loyal to him. You can regain your freedom, return to the deep mountains and forests, and become the overlord of the jungle. Given your current skills, I bet you can still do quite well on Earth, so there’s no need to be stubborn and keep opposing me. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
Upon hearing this, the Xuanming Demon Wolf’s eyes flashed with light, and it nodded.
Clearly, it wasn’t stubbornly loyal.
After all, wolves are naturally cunning and not as loyal as dogs to a single master.
Moreover, the Xuanming Demon Wolf was originally just an ordinary wolf.
But it was forcibly taken from its mother by Ming Kun and refined into a demon beast.
That’s why it became what it is today.
So towards Ming Kun, it wasn’t particularly loyal, just compelled by circumstances to obey Ming Kun’s commands, or else it would die.
And now that Ming Kun is dead, there is no need to continue to fear or be loyal to him.
As no one can restrain it after Ming Kun’s death, it agreed with Chen Feng’s proposal.
Seeing this, Chen Feng also smiled and said, "Looks like you’re not a fool. In that case, we can negotiate. It’s simple, I have a problem outside that needs solving. If you agree to help me, I will set you free. The premise is that you help me resolve this issue, and then we’ll go our separate ways. What do you think?"
The Xuanming Demon Wolf was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Chen Feng to suddenly propose such a condition.
It thought for a bit, and rather than being trapped in the Quagmire Dragon Swamp by Chen Feng, it might as well agree to Chen Feng’s condition, help him, and thus regain its freedom.
That would be a relatively fair trade.
Thinking of this, the Xuanming Demon Wolf didn’t hesitate and nodded.
After all, this was a great opportunity for it to get out. If it missed this chance, it would be difficult to leave in the future.
"Very good, then let me briefly explain the situation outside!"
Chen Feng slightly curved the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Outside, there’s a monster. Of course, the monster I’m talking about is more evil than you. It doesn’t belong to our Earth, but its purpose is to annihilate all life on Earth!"
"You heard right, all life, including you demon beasts, and there’s such a monster outside right now!"
"My two friends are battling it, but it’s very powerful, having reached Heavenly Rank Perfection, perhaps even stronger. My two friends can’t deal with it, so they need your help!"
"Your task is to use your extraordinary regeneration ability to be the bait and make it focus all its attacks on you. In simple terms, you’ll be the tank, drawing the attacks and bearing the damage!"
"Then, my two friends will attack the monster. The three of you will join forces to slay it. This isn’t just helping me, it’s helping yourself. If you want to continue living on this Earth, I think you should agree!"
"Awooo!"
The Xuanming Demon Wolf’s eyes flickered with light.
Although it wasn’t fluent in human speech, it could understand it, and its brain could think like a human’s. Hence, it fell into contemplation over what Chen Feng said.
A creature invading Earth is essentially an enemy of all earthly life, including itself.
As a wolf, a Xuanming Demon Wolf transformed by Ming Kun, Earth is its birthplace and nurturing ground.
So, protecting Earth is part of its responsibility!
In the past, as just an ordinary wolf, it couldn’t do much, but now, with an extraordinary regeneration ability, it can contribute to defending Earth.
Moreover, most importantly, by agreeing to help Chen Feng, it can regain its freedom and return to the vast forests.
Thinking of this, the Xuanming Demon Wolf hesitated briefly, but finally nodded.
"You’ve agreed, haven’t you?"
Chen Feng’s eyes gleamed with intelligence as he asked with a smile.
The Xuanming Demon Wolf quickly nodded.
"Very well, I also promise that once the monster is slain, you’ll regain your freedom. You can go wherever you want, as long as it doesn’t endanger human safety."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
"Awooo!"
The Xuanming Demon Wolf nodded.
"So let’s get things straight up front, we’ve reached an agreement, so you must do as I say. If I let you out and you have second thoughts, planning to betray or flee instead of helping, I’ll turn hostile and never acknowledge you again. Even if I have to lock you here forever, you’ll never get out, understand?"
Chen Feng’s eyes flashed with cold light as he spoke harshly.
Because wolves are naturally cunning, and although this Xuanming Demon Wolf is different from ordinary wolves, its nature is hard to change.
The story of the farmer and the wolf was one Chen Feng heard growing up.
One can trust most animals, but wolves and foxes are exceptionally cunning. This Xuanming Demon Wolf, having human-like intelligence, is even more cunning than ordinary wolves.
Given the situation, Chen Feng needed to lay out stern words to intimidate and bind the Xuanming Demon Wolf. Otherwise, if it gets out and not only doesn’t help but turns against him, it would worsen an already bad situation.
Hearing Chen Feng’s words, a hint of dread flashed in the Xuanming Demon Wolf’s eyes. Being confined here forever would indeed be a fate worse than death!
Moreover, despite its strong regeneration ability, its lifespan is limited.
If trapped without cultivation or absorbing nature’s spiritual energy, it would eventually die from spiritual energy depletion.
That would be too tragic!
Having thought this, the Xuanming Demon Wolf dared not hesitate, quickly nodding.
Finally at ease, Chen Feng smiled and said, "Very good, then cease your struggle state, and I’ll release you!"
The Xuanming Demon Wolf immediately became still.
Seeing this, Chen Feng commanded Tianqi World with a thought.
As the master of Tianqi World, he could control any part of it, including the Quagmire Dragon Swamp.
In an instant, the Quagmire Dragon Swamp opened a crack to reveal the massive body of the Xuanming Demon Wolf...
