As soon as Remus’ words fell, all the wolf beasts stopped.
They had cultivated for decades, and they naturally understood human speech.
The cultivators were also stunned for a moment.
What was this guy talking about?
Did favonovel.com just mention wanting to talk to the Wolf King?
Remus looked at the Wolf King, neither servile nor overbearing, and said, “I won’t take long, just a few words. It won’t affect you in any way and it won’t be too late to act after I’ve spoken!”
The Wolf King stared at Remus and finally moved, slowly descending from the mountain. Its steps were very steady, exuding the demeanor of a king.
As it moved, the moonlight filtered through the dense leaves, casting speckled lights upon it, making it appear even clearer.
The cultivators in the distance watched this scene with wide eyes. Even though they were far away from Remus, they couldn’t help but feel tense. After all, with the Wolf King being so large and of such high cultivation, it would have put pressure on anyone.
Remus lowered his voice a few notches and said, “You can sense that I am only at the Golden Stage. Even if you devour me, it won’t bring any nourishment to you…”
Humans seek demonic beasts for their inner pills; demonic beasts also eat humans for improvement.
The Wolf King remained expressionless, continuing to stare.
Remus then said, “In military strategy, there is a term called ‘Leaving a way out for a besieged enemy’. That is to say, when surrounding an enemy, you must leave a path open, so the enemy does not give up hope of survival…”
“Because once completely surrounded, the enemy will surely fight desperately, causing more severe casualties! Instead, by leaving a path open, you can reduce the enemy’s determination to die together, significantly reducing casualties!”
Hearing that, the Wolf King’s steps slowed a bit.
That tactic was also used among wolf packs, just not thought of in such depth. They intentionally left a gap when surrounding prey, forcing the prey to run toward it, making it easier to hunt.
Remus finally said, “I will be that bait here! You’ve seen the situation by now… The cultivators hesitate to come over, simply because they are wary of the risks. If you let me leave, they will doubt, be surprised, and more will tentatively come over…”
“At that time, you will have a greater harvest. Even if only one peak Nascent Soul cultivator comes over, they would be much better than me, wouldn’t they?”
As his words fell, the Wolf King completely stopped, its narrow eyes the size of a fist staring unblinkingly at Remus, pondering for a good ten seconds.
Suddenly, it said, “What a cunning human!”
Huh? Did it just speak human language?
The Wolf King’s cultivation must be much higher than that of Bucky.
With a calm smile, Remus said, “It’s not about cunning. If they can use me as bait, I see no reason I can’t do the same… Moreover, it’s beneficial for both you and me. Why not do it?”
Hearing that, the Wolf King was silent for a moment.
Looking up at the moon, it howled.
The sound reverberated through the mountains and forests, a silent command that halted the advance.
As if in response, the wolves that had descended the mountain paused, then turned, retreating back to their position.
In a synchronized moment of peace, they closed their eyes, and even the eagle beasts above followed suit, bringing the forest back to a state of tranquility.
Seeing that, Remus sighed in relief.
It was a success!
He turned back to wave at everyone and then continued forward.
All the cultivators in the forest were dumbfounded, their eyes wide with disbelief.
What happened to those wolf beasts?
Why didn’t they attack him?
“What… What exactly did they talk about?”
“This is impossible! Why would those wolf beasts let favonovel.com pass without attacking him?”
“Could it be that the wolf beasts have gone mad?”
They racked their brains but couldn’t figure out what happened, even doubting the reality of the scene before them.
It was too surreal!
“Perhaps, favonovel.com offered something?”
The person who had just suggested letting Remus go first frowned and said, “If I’m not mistaken, favonovel.com bribed them. He must have made some kind of deal with the wolf beasts!”
Everyone nodded in agreement, seeing that as the only possibility.
