130: The idea of raising a King-level monster
When the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf saw that giant black shadow, it knew it would probably be difficult to escape.
Facing hundreds of Fungus Monsters on the ground, it could still rely on its agile movements and complex terrain to escape, preventing the monsters on the ground from keeping up with it.
But with the opponent's forces also in the sky, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf felt a sense of despair. Was it truly going to meet its end here today?
As the giant black shadow slowly descended, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf already felt the pressure of that aerial overlord. It was clearly a High-Level Lord Rank flying monster, just like itself.
However, the scent similar to the black monsters on the ground and its completely dark appearance already revealed its identity.
"Let's choose this one for the War God Palace assessment. It's High-Level Lord Rank. Using it as an assessment token won't tarnish the organization's reputation."
"Only a few hundred Beast General Level monsters and tens of thousands of Beast Soldier Level monsters? When did the numbers become so small?"
Qiao Yu, sitting on the back of the Black-crowned Golden Eagle, watched the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf staring menacingly at the sky, deep in thought.
The Fungus Monsters now had a maximum army size of over a hundred thousand, but this was merely child's play compared to the total number of monsters in a city.
If Qiao Yu wanted to expand into the sea, an army of over a hundred thousand monsters would still not be enough.
The number of monsters in the sea could be thousands or tens of thousands of times greater than on land. If there were a hundred million monsters on land, there could be hundreds of billions of fish monster groups in the sea.
And Qiao Yu's Fungus Monster count was only a mere hundred thousand. Even with extraordinary defensive capabilities, this was only under the premise of not encountering King-level Monsters.
Qiao Yu could deduce from this Lord Level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf that there must be other Silver Moon Fierce Wolves in this city.
Wolf packs, wolf packs, wolves are social creatures, and the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf is no exception. This Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was clearly just a young member of the pack, out hunting and gaining experience.
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf that Luo Feng took advantage of before was likely just an ordinary member of the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf pack, not particularly strong. This Lord Level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, however, was probably a direct Bloodline member of the pack, having received focused training. Thus, it could possess High-Level Lord Rank strength in its youth. Once it became a King-level Monster, it could begin to take over the pack.
However, if Qiao Yu chose to kill this Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, it might cause a chain reaction, leading to retaliation from the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf species.
After hesitating for 0.00001 seconds, Qiao Yu instantly made a decision.
"Damn it, I already have an army of black god fungus. I can't die anyway, so why be afraid of a King-level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf pack? And I still want to develop in the sea? At worst, I'll just wipe out the entire Silver Moon Fierce Wolf pack."
Qiao Yu directly ordered the Black-crowned Golden Eagle to attack the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.
"Screech!"
A sharp cry echoed through the sky. The Black-crowned Golden Eagle swooped down towards the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf on the high-rise platform, unleashing its full flight speed of several times the speed of sound, its two sharp claws like swords.
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf had long been watching the Black-crowned Golden Eagle, its entire nervous system stretched to the limit. The moment the Black-crowned Golden Eagle attacked, its taut nerves snapped like a broken string.
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf used its absolute maximum strength to dodge the Black-crowned Golden Eagle's attack.
The Black-crowned Golden Eagle's claws tore through the reinforced concrete of the high-rise building as if it were tofu, shaving off one-third of the building's top floor.
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's eyes were resolute, staring intently at the Black-crowned Golden Eagle, constantly guarding against its next attack.
Having always been protected by its pack, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf now faced a life-or-death crisis for the first time.
Even after it ventured out to train alone, if it encountered a situation it couldn't win, it would choose to flee immediately rather than fight head-on. Therefore, it had basically never experienced a true life-or-death crisis.
Although its strength had steadily increased to High-Level Lord Rank, it had been stuck at this Rank for several years, unable to take that final step to reach King-level standard.
However, this life-and-death battle gave it a feeling that its Bottleneck was loosening, and this feeling made the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf overjoyed.
Two plumes of white mist spewed from the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's nostrils. The fear in its heart had been replaced by excitement. It had a premonition that as long as it could survive this life-and-death battle, it would be able to Breakthrough to King-level and become a King-level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf.
The Black-crowned Golden Eagle evidently noticed the change in the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's emotions and also perceived the changes in its body.
The Black-crowned Golden Eagle relayed this information back to Qiao Yu, who, upon learning of the situation, also became interested.
This was a moment to witness the birth of a King-level Monster firsthand.
Qiao Yu also had his own considerations. If he were to directly pit these hundreds of thousands of Fungus Monsters against a King-level Monster, it might actually waste a lot of time.
A single King-level Monster naturally posed no threat to Qiao Yu. He could even use a monster tide tactic to wear it down and kill it.
However, King-level Monsters often form stable, large-scale packs, and with their intelligence, most already know that human Martial Artists will target them one by one. Therefore, King-level Monsters often gather into packs, forming a protective umbrella that even super-strong human Martial Artists dare not attack.
This was also why Qiao Yu didn't dare to directly seek out King-level Monsters. He wasn't afraid of fighting alone, but he was afraid of a dozen or even a hundred King-level Monsters attacking together.
In such a situation, even if Qiao Yu could revive infinitely, his overall strength would definitely be weakened, which might then affect Qiao Yu's own development speed.
But it was such a coincidence to encounter a High-Level Lord Rank Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, and one that was on the verge of becoming a King-level Monster, just one step away.
If Qiao Yu could help this High-Level Lord Rank Silver Moon Fierce Wolf advance and cultivate it into a King-level Monster, then Qiao Yu's Fungus Monsters would effectively have the qualification to enter the King-level.
As long as the King-level Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was devoured and absorbed, the fungal nest could produce King-level Fungus Monsters, thus giving them the strength to contend with King-level Monster packs.
If this could be used as a springboard to conquer a King-level Monster pack, it would be equivalent to possessing countless King-level Monsters. At that point, Qiao Yu could be said to be invincible on land, and even Emperor-level Monsters would probably be unable to withstand Qiao Yu's fungus army.
Although Emperor-level Monsters are extraordinarily powerful, if they encounter hundreds of King-level Monsters attacking in turns, they can only suffer defeat.
