Although Jiang Ming wanted to rip it off, what he said was not unreasonable.
At the early stage of the game, the elimination rate of gold equipment was very high. Once the player leveled up, it would basically become of little use. The treasure map depended on luck, and the value of the pet egg also depended on what it would hatch. So, these three things given by the Demon Wolf King might sound tempting, but there was no specific information about these three things. If it happened that they were the lowest level, he would be devastated.
The Demon Wolf King roared repeatedly, and Chikage continued to translate. “It wants master to find the Demon Heart first and then negotiate the terms.”
Jiang Ming squinted his eyes and smiled. He took out a Demon Heart from his inventory and held it in his hand. He said to Chikage, “Tell it, I have found the Demon Heart. If it does not show its sincerity, then it can kill us. There is no need to negotiate.”
“Awoooo~”
The Demon Wolf King saw the demon heart in Jiang Ming’s hand that was exuding bursts of demon energy, and its eyes glowed with enthusiasm, its saliva drooling all over the ground.
Not only the Demon Wolf King, even the nearby demon wolves were pacing around in circles, with a similar frantic enthusiasm in their eyes.
That was because not only the Demon Wolf King could use the demon heart, but other demon wolves could also do the same. Not only that, if ordinary demon wolves were to ingest the demon heart, their abilities might surpass the Demon Wolf King, taking its place.
It was precisely because of this that several demon wolves couldn’t hold back their enthusiasm for the demon heart, and rushed towards the demon heart in Jiang Ming’s hand. But as soon as those demon wolves leapt out, they were knocked away by the punch of the Demon Wolf King, which had a sharp look in its eyes.
Jiang Ming saw that the demon heart had taken effect, so he directly put away the demon heart in his hand, ignoring the frenetic demon wolves nearby.
When monsters killed players, the items that the player dropped would not belong to the monster, so he was not worried that the Demon Wolf King would kill him because of the demon heart. Instead, it might even protect him, to prevent the demon heart from being dropped when he was killed.
“Master, it said that the gold equipment is level 10, and the pet egg was obtained by accident. The specific level is not known. It also said that if master gives it the demon heart, it will sign an alliance contract with master. If master is in danger, they will all set out to help master.”
The Demon Wolf King yelled in excitement, and Chikage helped to translate.
“Alliance contract?”
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. He had heard of this kind of contract in previous games. You could sign an alliance contract by doing tasks or reaching certain friendship points with NPCs.
The alliance contract was not so much an alliance as it was a “commander’s seal”. If the contract was centred around him, as long as he gave orders, the other party who signed the alliance contract with him must help him unconditionally. On the contrary, he was not obliged to help.
Jiang Ming didn’t expect that the Demon Wolf King was ready to sign an alliance contract with himself in order to get the Demon Heart. It seemed that there was really nothing else that it had which it believed would move Jiang Ming, so it had to come to this last resort.
“Okay, I agree. But I have to sign the alliance contract first before I can give you the demon heart.”
After signing the alliance contract, he could get help from the Demon Wolf King and its hundreds of thousands of clan members when in danger. In addition, once the Demon Wolf King swallowed the Demon Heart, its strength would skyrocket, and it was even likely to reach the Demon Spiritual Beast level. At that time, it would be of an even greater help to him. Thinking about this, Jiang Ming nodded and said to the Demon Wolf King.
Regarding Jiang Ming’s proposal, the Demon Wolf King shook its head and expressed its disapproval, but Chikage seemed to have said something to it again, which made it look at Jiang Ming in surprise, and then asked Chikage to translate, “Yes, but I hope you know that we will only be dispatched to help you when you are in a life-threatening crisis. If you use your rights recklessly, even if I die, I will not let you do whatever you want with the life of my people!”
‘Life of its people? Isn’t it for the players to slaughter?’ Jiang Ming thought to himself, but he didn’t say it out loud.
“I know that. Even if my life is in danger, I will not dispatch you, unless there is something special.”
Jiang Ming nodded and smiled.
Seeing that the Demon Wolf King had nodded and had no more opinion, Jiang Ming stepped forward, cut a small hole in his finger with a knife, and squeezed a few drops of blood onto the Demon Wolf King’s forehead.
The Demon Wolf King roared, and in an instant, the blood dripping on its head slowly spread to form a rune, and then entered its body.
After signing the contract with the Demon Wolf King, Jiang Ming felt that he had a special connection with the Demon Wolf King. This connection was very miraculous. As long as he wanted to, he could communicate with the Demon Wolf King in his heart.
“You can give the Demon Heart to me now.” Just as he marvelled at the contract, a message appeared in his mind. He glanced at the Demon Wolf King which was staring at him and smiled. He also kept his words and took out one of the demon hearts from his inventory and threw it towards the Demon Wolf King.
Seeing that Jiang Ming carelessly tossed such a valuable thing directly over, the Demon Wolf King was struck with consternation. It immediately leaped forward, opened its mouth huge like a bloody basin and swallowed the Demon Heart.
Seeing this, some demon wolves that were gathered around were pleasantly surprised, and they all jumped up and bit towards the Demon Heart.
Jiang Ming was taken aback for a moment, then his expression turned into a bitter smile. He didn’t expect that his unintentional action would cause such a big reaction from the wolf pack and increase the pressure on the Demon Wolf King. At the same time, he was thinking that the Demon Wolf King was so concerned about its people, but its people didn’t seem to appreciate it, even wanting to grab its things.
“Awooo!”
Fortunately, the Demon Wolf King’s authority still had its deterrent power. With a roar, it stunned dozens of demon wolves, and then opened its mouth and swallowed the demon heart into its stomach.
After the Demon Wolf King swallowed the demon heart, its soaring body did not fall back to the ground, but was carried mid-air by a black cloud.
Then, the weather suddenly changed, a group of thunderclouds appeared out of thin air, and stroke after stroke of lightning attacked the Demon Wolf King fiercely.
“Thunder Tribulation! I didn’t expect such a big movement when monsters advance!”
Jiang Ming stared in shock at the lightning in the sky striking down at the Demon Wolf King like descending dragons, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in shock.
As for the nearby demonic wolves, the moment the abnormal phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky, they all crouched onto the ground in fear, staring at the thunderclouds in the sky with terror. Even Chikage’s body sitting on Jiang Ming’s shoulder could not help but tremble. It seemed that they were very afraid of thunder and lightning.
…
Just as Jiang Ming watched the Demon Wolf King’s Thunder Tribulation in shock, the players in some monster areas near the Demon Wolf Valley also noticed the abnormal phenomenon above the Demon Wolf Valley, and they all showed their doubts.
“Young Master, look over there.”
In a team located very near the Demon Wolf Valley, a thin and tall man holding a dagger said to a gentle-looking and handsome white-shirted man at the front of the team.
Hearing the words of the thin and tall man, the man dressed in white looked at the peak of the Demon Wolf Valley. Seeing the thunderclouds and the roaring thunder and lightning above the Demon Wolf Valley, his eyes narrowed slightly. He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes snapped open, a touch of excitement appearing on his face.
“It seems that a monster is going through the thunder tribulation. Come, let’s hurry over. Monsters that can ward off the thunder tribulation must be a big BOSS. In addition, even though the rank of the monster who survived the thunder tribulation would be upgraded, it will be severely injured with only a little HP left. As long as we kill it at this time, we will definitely get a lot of good things!”
The man in white said and then rushed towards the Demon Wolf Valley.
It wasn’t just the man in white who thought so. Some other veteran players knew this, and they all headed towards the Demon Wolf Valley hoping to take advantage of the BOSS when there was only a little HP left!
