Chapter 1095: Chapter 1094: Instinct
Someone is attacking me and my wolves! My head hurts. My treasures are howling extravagantly; I can’t believe the ship is one of those damned ones from my camp—I refuse.
I must train my wolves to attack and reclaim my things. That belongs to me, it can’t be theirs.
Jiang Cheng set aside the notebook. He had essentially figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
A smuggler, they also engage in robbery. After robbing a wealthy merchant group one day, they had an internal conflict due to uneven distribution.
After a round of fighting, the smuggler was undoubtedly the victor. He seized a large amount of treasure, so he began to flee far away.
When he arrived at this planet, he did not expect to be attacked. Upon seeing this, Jiang Cheng connected all the elements and was almost certain that mermaids were attacking him.
As for why the mermaids suddenly launched an attack on the smuggler’s ship, Jiang Cheng found it puzzling.
In his eyes, mermaids are kind creatures. If not to protect themselves, they would never randomly attack other creatures.
There must be a reason for this. Jiang Cheng planned to ask the Mermaid Leader why they suddenly attacked a ship when he saw her.
According to the smuggler’s account, under the mermaids’ attack, his ship crashed and his treasure was taken by those mermaids.
Therefore, he wanted to kill those mermaids, but he also knew he wasn’t their match. After all, mermaids’ sonic attacks have a certain lethality. Even Jiang Cheng and Ba Lv, facing their sonic attacks, felt pain, let alone ordinary people.
Thus, the smuggler began to train his wolves who fled with him, which he described as his pets.
As a result, under the smuggler’s training, those wolves engaged in an unrelenting battle with the mermaids, which continues to this day.
The mystery in Jiang Cheng’s heart was solved. He had always wondered why these Sea Wolves had to fight the mermaids to the death. After all, the sea is vast and they have plenty of food sources. Now the reason is clear.
Now everything was clear, Jiang Cheng felt relieved. According to the smuggler, the existence of those Sea Wolves was solely for the destruction of mermaids. Given the chance, they would never let it pass.
As a result, Jiang Cheng’s ambush plan could be assured.
Just as Jiang Cheng saw nothing more of value and prepared to leave, he didn’t notice a huge figure appearing at the cave entrance.
Jiang Cheng finally discovered why the Sea Wolves were in constant conflict with the mermaids, even to the extent of battling to the death.
It turns out someone deliberately trained them. It seems these Sea Wolves are also creatures with considerable intelligence.
Now the only question remains: why did the mermaids suddenly attack the smuggler’s ship? After all, mermaids aren’t known for being hot-tempered and prone to attack.
Just as Jiang Cheng was preparing to leave, a huge figure appeared at the cave entrance.
Hearing the sound behind him, Jiang Cheng did not turn around. He moved quickly to the cave’s depths before turning to look carefully.
It was a massive Sea Wolf. Based on its fur color, Jiang Cheng deduced that this Sea Wolf was quite old.
Apparently this was the Sea Wolf’s place of rest. Perhaps due to its advanced age, its sensory perception had degraded, and it hadn’t noticed Jiang Cheng’s presence.
After wandering around the chamber for a while, the Sea Wolf lay down on a tattered sleeping bag. According to Jiang Cheng’s observation of Sea Wolf habitats, they seemed to be animals that enjoy living in groups. Jiang Cheng often saw Sea Wolves in groups of three to five, but this giant Sea Wolf was different from its peers in more than just size—it lived alone, independently of its kind.
In the cave, Jiang Cheng estimated this Sea Wolf must be the king of the others.
Jiang Cheng hesitated; before him lay a golden opportunity to kill the Wolf King. He couldn’t help but feel tempted. Killing the Wolf King would leave the remaining Sea Wolves leaderless.
However, if the Wolf King were slain, the remaining Sea Wolves would lack unified command, no longer coordinating attacks on the mermaids, or they might just roam around in small groups nearby. At that point, the fragmented state of the Sea Wolves wouldn’t favor Jiang Cheng’s planned strategy.
After pondering for a while, Jiang Cheng resisted the urge to kill the Wolf King for the sake of his successful plan and decided to abandon this opportunity.
"Small patience leads to greater profit," Jiang Cheng still remembered this old saying from Hua Family Country.
Suppressing the urge to kill, Jiang Cheng quietly left the cave.
"Teacher." Jiang Cheng had just appeared at the mermaids’ residence when Yanran promptly noticed him.
Ba Lv sitting next to her remained unresponsive.
It wasn’t that Ba Lv intentionally ignored her teacher, but because in Spiritual Power training, Ba Lv hadn’t reached Yanran’s level and couldn’t detect Jiang Cheng’s arrival.
Yanran, on the other hand, had progressed beyond the fifth layer of Spiritual Power training. Her perception far exceeded Ba Lv’s, allowing her to sense the air disturbances when Jiang Cheng was about to arrive.
This is one of the benefits of Spiritual Power cultivation.
In fact, the advantages of Spiritual Power training are not limited to sharpening one’s senses.
Spiritual Power cultivation not only visibly distinguishes an individual externally from others, but it offers greater benefits internally. In the process of refining Spiritual Power, the body’s four limbs, meridians, internal organs, nerves system, and respiratory and circulatory systems are all enhanced.
This achieves a balance of both internal and external cultivation.
Moreover, Spiritual Power provides astonishing benefits for Martial Arts training.
In Hua Family Country on Earth, anyone achieving success in Martial Arts emphasized Spiritual Power cultivation. Only through refining Spiritual Power did they truly step into the martial arts world.
This is also why Jiang Cheng places such importance on Spiritual Power training.
Yanran, in her Spiritual Power training journey, moved ahead of Ba Lv, thus experiencing more benefits of Spiritual Power cultivation than Ba Lv.
"Teacher, you’re back." Ba Lvluo obediently handed over a special drink made by the mermaids: "Teacher, you’ve worked hard, please rest a bit."
Jiang Cheng did not refuse Ba Lvluo’s kindness. He took the drink she offered, lifted his head, and drank it in one gulp.
"Not bad, it’s pretty good." Jiang Cheng praised, the drink cold with a subtle sweetness and a fresh seaweed flavor, quite enjoyable indeed.
Actually, Jiang Cheng didn’t need to replenish his energy through food like ordinary people do. When savoring something, it’s more of an instinctual satisfaction.
