131: King-level Silver Moon Ferocious Wolf
Qiao Yu's plan was to nurture this Silver Moon Fierce Wolf into a King-level Monster. This way, he would only need to wait for it to promote to the King-level before devouring it. Then, by having the System analyze the King-level Monster's genes, he could use that data to let the fungal nest give birth to King-level Monsters.
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf likely didn't anticipate that the so-called entirely new species it was facing was merely a race evolved from Qiao Yu alone.
If it knew that the monster it had been fighting for so long was merely a Puppet-like creature, its Dao Heart would probably shatter instantly.
Qiao Yu commanded the Black-crowned Golden Eagle to attack the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, but he required the eagle to make the wolf feel a sense of life-and-death crisis as much as possible without actually killing it.
Thus, an interesting scene unfolded: the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf constantly dodged the Black-crowned Golden Eagle's attacks, but the eagle would always press its advantage, making it difficult for the wolf to evade.
However, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf did not intend to remain suppressed by its enemy. Even as it dodged, it began to slowly Move its body toward the building complex, attempting to use the structures to block the Black-crowned Golden Eagle's field of vision.
Under Qiao Yu's orders, the Black-crowned Golden Eagle was not overly ruthless and cooperated with the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's Moves, allowing the opponent to successfully hide within the building complex.
At this moment, facing a life-and-death crisis, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf constantly stimulated its potential. It even felt the muscles throughout its body throbbing, as sensations of soreness, numbness, swelling, and pain traveled across its surface. Its body, which was originally the size of a bus, now seemed to be gradually swelling and growing even larger.
Seeing the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf hide in the buildings, the Black-crowned Golden Eagle did not press too closely, giving the wolf a chance to catch its breath. But after a few seconds, it began its fierce assault again. It could be said that the wolf could breathe, but not much.
Sharp talons swung wildly in the air, and concrete buildings split in half by the Black-crowned Golden Eagle could be seen everywhere, the incisions even appearing perfectly horizontal.
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf leaped and dodged through the various buildings. It felt that it was only one step away from the King-level. If it could kill this Black-crowned Golden Eagle, its strength would surely reach the King-level.
Hiding in the shadows, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf stared fixedly at the Black-crowned Golden Eagle with a ferocious gaze. It could no longer wait for death; it had to take the initiative to attack and fight the eagle to the death. Otherwise, this feeling of an impending Breakthrough would soon vanish without a trace.
Just as the Black-crowned Golden Eagle continued with its next claw strike, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf seized the gap in the eagle's attack—even if it was only 0.01 seconds—and struck like lightning!
The Black-crowned Golden Eagle only felt a flash of silver lightning arrive in an instant. It suddenly appeared before it and took a vicious bite out of its wing.
"Crack!"
The sound of a bone snapping rang out. When the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf heard this sound, it was overjoyed. This was in the bag!
Even though it knew it had the upper hand, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf did not let go. Battles between Advanced Monsters were often decided by a single moment of negligence.
The Black-crowned Golden Eagle's momentary lapse just now had allowed it to find a flaw for a counterattack. If the eagle escaped because the wolf let its guard down, it would likely be the one to die in the end!
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf continued to exert even more force with its jaws, combining it with head shakes and tearing. Even if it couldn't break through the outer skin's defense, the bones inside would suffer comminuted fractures, rendering the Black-crowned Golden Eagle unable to fly.
The Black-crowned Golden Eagle was not entirely defenseless. It used its beak, which was sharper than steel, to repeatedly strike the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's head. However, the skull was also the hardest part of the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's body.
Only the rhythmic 'thump, thump, thump' sounds, like the striking of a wooden fish, could be heard.
Unfortunately, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's original Rank was quite a bit higher than the Black-crowned Golden Eagle's, and its defensive capabilities were equally formidable.
With the Black-crowned Golden Eagle's beak, it couldn't break open the wolf's head in a short time. For a moment, the scene was locked in an awkward stalemate.
On one side, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf was viciously biting the Black-crowned Golden Eagle's wing; on the other, the eagle was ruthlessly pecking at the back of the wolf's head. Neither would yield, and the situation was deadlocked.
But at this moment, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, still tearing away, felt the silver moon in the sky. Its radiance was showering down upon its body like scattered specks of light.
This moonlight triggered genetic changes within the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf. Universe energy constantly poured into its body, and the specks of moonlight seemed to attach themselves to its genetic chains.
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's body expanded visibly. If it was the size of a bus just now, the current Silver Moon Fierce Wolf could be said to be the size of a large truck.
After feeling the changes in its body, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf's gaze became playful.
At this moment, it had already reached the King-level standard. It no longer cared about the Intermediate Lord Level Black-crowned Golden Eagle before it.
Its bloody maw was now large enough to swallow half of the Black-crowned Golden Eagle's wing. The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf bit down hard on the wing and began to chew.
"Crunch~ Crunch~"
The sound of bones shattering echoed repeatedly. Pain filled the Black-crowned Golden Eagle's eyes, while the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf exceptionally enjoyed this situation of breaking through during a life-and-death struggle and then killing its opponent.
Two kilometers away, Qiao Yu stood on a rooftop, watching the entire battle.
Originally, with the enhancement of the black god fungus, the Black-crowned Golden Eagle would have been fully capable of wearing the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf down. By taking advantage of the wolf's inability to recover, it could have ground it to death. But under Qiao Yu's deliberate control, the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf had successfully been allowed to promote to the King-level Monster standard.
"Now I can start reeling in the line!"
Qiao Yu looked at the battlefield and smiled. On the ground where the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf and the Black-crowned Golden Eagle were fighting, the earth had already been covered by countless Mycelium, turning into a pitch-black expanse.
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf obviously noticed this as well but didn't pay it much mind. This negligence doomed it to become just another member of Qiao Yu's Fungus Monster army.
The fungus Black-crowned Golden Eagle now appeared to be on its last breath. This was also a situation Qiao Yu had intentionally created. If not for the eagle's dying state deceiving the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf, it probably would have fled immediately upon noticing something was wrong.
By now, the black god Mycelium had completely surrounded the battlefield. One, two, four, eight, sixteen... Fungus Monsters were increasing exponentially, trapping the Silver Moon Fierce Wolf in the center.
The Silver Moon Fierce Wolf also realized something was wrong. It released the wing it had been biting and turned to look at the countless monsters surrounding it, its heart skipping a beat.
But then it thought: it was already a King-level Monster. Even if it couldn't win the fight, surely it could still outrun them?
"Run!"
