Chapter 143 Xiaohei
On the other side, with the Wolf King's help, they finally managed to stop Biaozi's slaughter.
Both of the large creatures were somewhat strange; Biaozi's large, fan-shaped feet were enveloped in black, malevolent energy.
The wolf king was no ordinary creature either, exuding a chilling blue aura, even though it was at a disadvantage.
But with the help of the wolf pack, he fought a fierce battle with Biaozi, and the two were evenly matched.
Just as Ji Haobo was about to take out his revolver to provide support, a black figure suddenly appeared and launched a fierce attack on the wolf pack.
This situation took everyone by surprise, and Laura couldn't help but ask in bewilderment:
"What...what is that? I think it's a wolf too?"
"It was indeed a wolf, and a black wolf at that."
Ji Haobo was also very surprised; he hadn't expected such an unexpected turn of events.
"But...why is this wolf attacking its own kind, and it looks even more ferocious than Biaozi?"
When Lao Hu and the others heard that the dark figure was indeed a wolf, their mouths dropped open in disbelief at its behavior.
"Heh... You think they're the same kind, but a wolf pack isn't necessarily like that, otherwise this black wolf wouldn't be all alone."
Like Biaozi, it probably mutated and became an outcast, rejected by its tribe, and even became its mortal enemy.
Ji Haobo's explanation made the others nod in understanding; it did make sense. Suddenly, Fatty Wang thought of something and exclaimed happily:
"Brother Bo, if you subdue this black wolf and bring it back, the offspring that Tiger and the others have with it will probably all be fierce and domineering!"
The people nearby were excited upon hearing this, and Old Hu's eyes lit up. He really wanted a pet like that!
But Ji Haobo shook his head, pouring cold water on their hopes and leaving them completely dumbfounded.
"Your idea might not work. Black Wolf is probably similar to Biaozi. He has undergone a species mutation and is unable to produce offspring, just like a congenital castrator."
Otherwise, why is it the only black wolf in this pack, while the rest are all gray and white?
Although they didn't want to believe it, they knew in their hearts that it was probably very close to the truth.
"Ouch..."
When the wolf king saw the black wolf suddenly appear, it knew that if it continued fighting, the pack would be wiped out.
Helpless, it could only break free from Biaozi's claws, jump to the side and howl, preparing to lead the remaining few wolves in retreat.
But Ji Haobo, who was watching the battle, wouldn't have it and started firing continuously.
"Chirp chirp chirp..."
Before the wolf king could react, two bullets blew off most of its head.
The wolves panicked and fled. Biaozi and Black Wolf immediately pounced on them, and with a hail of bullets from the others, only six or seven managed to escape.
It was only because Ji Haobo showed mercy and deliberately left those wolves to go back; otherwise, the wolf cubs in their den would probably be dead.
After the battle, Black Wolf was about to leave, but Biaozi stopped it and growled at it a few times.
Seeing this, Ji Haobo slowly walked over, and the black wolf's golden eyes immediately stared at him warily.
"Don't worry, I mean no harm and won't hurt you."
Although Black Wolf certainly couldn't understand what he was saying, the spirit he conveyed could be sensed.
Therefore, when Ji Haobo approached, the black wolf did not display any fierce baring of its teeth.
Even when he reached out and touched the guy's head, it obediently didn't pull away, but instead squinted its eyes.
Ji Haobo smiled, secretly thinking that things were looking promising.
"Come on, let me take you out to eat."
Black Wolf was held by the neck and walked step by step toward the camp.
Old Hu and the others stared dumbfounded at the large creature that had been abducted, feeling a bit unreal. Was this wolf really that dull-witted? It was practically as silly as a husky.
"Fatty, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get a bowl of meat for Little Black!"
"Okay... I'll go right away."
Coming to his senses, Fatty Wang quickly turned around and went into the tent, soon placing a fragrant plate of meat at the tent entrance.
Black Wolf stared at the large bowl of meat, his mouth practically watering, but he didn't immediately go up to eat.
"Go ahead! Go ahead! I'll treat you to something."
Ji Haobo patted its head with a smile. The black wolf hesitated for a moment, then took a small bite before wolfing it down in big gulps.
It quickly devoured the entire pot of meat, and at the same time, it lowered its guard considerably.
"Little Black! If you come with me, you'll have this to eat every day from now on. Isn't that better than you eating and sleeping in the open?"
"How about it? Want to join Biaozi in living the high life, enjoying the good food and drinks, and having food served to you every day?"
Although Ji Haobo's deception was completely devoid of skill, Black Wolf still became Little Black.
The allure of a long-term meal ticket was simply too great, especially the delicious food it had just tasted, making it impossible to resist.
"Awoo...woowoo"
"Very good, a wise person knows when to yield. Xiao Hei, you're smart, you haven't disappointed me."
Ji Haobo stroked Xiao Hei with a broad smile, feeling very satisfied.
This guy is so handsome, with jet-black, shiny fur that feels like silk to the touch.
Its shoulder height is no less than that of the original Biaozi, only its physique is not as robust.
But this is normal, since wolves are naturally more slender than tigers.
What's even more remarkable is that after this little black creature mutated, its bloodline should be even more concentrated.
When it first appeared, a faint black aura emanated from its body, radiating an eerie chill, though it was still somewhat ethereal and had not yet fully developed its full power.
"Bo, can I pet Little Black?"
Laura looked at the enormous, handsome creature in front of her and felt a strong urge to play a few rounds with it.
"Come on! Little Black isn't that stingy."
Rumor has it that Black Wolf has genes from ancient dogs, but Ji Haobo doesn't know if it's true.
However, while he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about other people's closeness, he wasn't too resistant either.
After teasing it for a while, Ji Haobo sent it and Biaozi into the tent, while he turned around and collected the stiff wolf carcasses.
The next morning, as soon as Ji Haobo appeared, Xiao Hei ran over and rubbed against him.
"Hey! You're quite the foodie, aren't you? Go wait over there, the feast's coming up soon."
He strongly suspected that the reason this guy was so easily subdued was because he saw him as a long-term meal ticket.
After breakfast, the group packed up their tents and continued their search on the mountain.
Unfortunately, they still didn't find anything all morning. It wasn't until the afternoon that Xiao Hei, who was following them, seemed to understand their purpose. After letting out a "woof," he led the way.
At first, Ji Haobo didn't know what was going on, but when they arrived at a crack covered by snow, only half a meter wide, he realized that Xiao Hei knew about the underground crack.
He thought it made sense. The wolf pack was originally a descendant of Crystal Free Mountain. Perhaps the inheritance of their bloodline gave them the same instinct to protect the nine-story demon tower below.
