294: Chapter 294 Are you turning your backs on all living beings?
A pack of Vicious Wolves appeared before the Beaver couple.
Their fur was gray all over, their eyes fierce, and their bared fangs were terrifying.
Their bodies were roughly three to four meters in size, larger than normal wolves.
Even so, they were not to be underestimated.
A Wolf Pack's teamwork is extremely formidable, capable of hunting prey or beasts several times their size.
However, what confused the Beaver couple was that the leading wolf king had its rear end facing them.
It didn't even turn its head to speak, making its actions completely baffling.
Notably, not only was its behavior strange, but its fur also stood out from the rest of the pack.
The other wolves were gray with a silvery sheen, but the back of the one suspected to be the wolf king was covered in black fur.
Its belly and limbs were snow white, without the gradient seen on the Vicious Wolves behind it.
The Beaver couple looked at these fifteen Vicious Wolves with terrified expressions, their hearts sinking to the depths.
At that moment, the leading wolf king spoke, startling the Beaver couple and making their hearts tremble.
But its words only plunged the Beaver couple into confusion.
They heard the leading wolf king scold the wolves behind it:
"Didn't this king say it? Whether facing enemies or prey, we must always turn our backs to them."
"Only then can we display our peerless grandeur!"
"..."
"But..."
A wolf wanted to speak up.
Turning their backs to other animals meant exposing their most vulnerable rear to them, didn't it?
Wasn't that equivalent to revealing their weaknesses to the opponent? Was that really a good idea?
"Enough nonsense! this king is the Wolf King, the Wolf King, understand?"
The Black-Haired Wolf King bared its fangs and repeatedly scolded the wolf that wanted to speak.
The others were berated into hanging their heads low. They exchanged subtle glances, looking at each other in bewilderment.
But there was nothing they could do. After all, the other was the Wolf King.
The Wolf King held absolute authority within the pack, and the wolves below could not defy it.
Of course! Defiance was possible, but challenging the Wolf King often ended in death.
After all, to become the Wolf King, one's combat prowess was undoubtedly among the finest.
The wolves sighed inwardly, silently turned around, and presented their rears to the Beaver couple.
As one wolf turned, its vertical pupils reflected the figure of the Black-Haired Wolf King.
In that instant, a fierce and resentful glare flashed in its eyes.
But it took no further action, turning around just like the other wolves.
"That's more like it!"
The Black-Haired Wolf King was satisfied.
Behind the Wolf Pack, the Beaver couple stared in stunned silence.
"Wh-what are these wolves doing?" the female beaver asked blankly.
"Are they playing some kind of game?"
The Male Beaver shook its head vigorously. It had no idea what these wolves were up to either.
Was it really okay to expose their backs like this?
But confusion aside, the Male Beaver quickly said to the female beaver:
"Dear, take this chance and get away from here now."
"No! I can't just leave you behind."
The female beaver stubbornly shook its head, unwilling to leave.
If it left now, it might never see its husband again.
The Male Beaver grew frantic, its anger showing as it roared:
"Dear, don't forget, we have two children."
"If we both stay here, what will happen to the children?"
As it roared, the Male Beaver pushed its wife away.
Tears welled up in the female beaver's eyes.
That's right... we have two children... I can't die here.
The female beaver gritted its teeth, as if making a firm decision. It closed its eyes, turned, and sprinted away.
It planned to seek help from the Hippopotamus as soon as it returned.
It only hoped its husband could hold on until then.
Watching its wife's retreating figure, the Male Beaver showed a relieved smile.
As long as its wife could leave safely, it would be at peace.
But at that moment, a black shadow, swift as lightning, shot straight toward the female beaver.
Before the Male Beaver could react, the shadow had already intercepted the female beaver.
That shadow was the Black-Haired Wolf King.
Now, it stood before the female beaver, its rear end facing it.
"Dear!?"
The Male Beaver was shocked. That wolf king was incredibly fast!
It had been facing away just moments ago. Such reflexes...
It truly lived up to being the Wolf King.
The Black-Haired Wolf King let out a light chuckle: "Madam! this king never said you could leave. How could you run off?"
The female beaver stared in fear at the Black-Haired Wolf King's back, its heart pounding wildly.
There was no escaping...
Truthfully, if not for the children, it wouldn't mind dying alongside its husband.
But with two children, if they both died, what would become of them?
From behind, the Male Beaver's shouts echoed.
It begged the Black-Haired Wolf King to spare its wife.
If its wife was spared, the Male Beaver was willing to be eaten willingly.
Hearing this, the Black-Haired Wolf King, still facing away, threw its head back and laughed heartily:
"Sir, what you say is truly amusing."
"this king has the ability to eat you both. Why would I bargain with you?"
"Besides, if I let your wife go, what about my pack?"
"Sir, Madam, calmly accept your fate."
"If you must hate something, hate your own weakness."
"If you were stronger, this day would never have come."
Despair washed over the Male Beaver and the female beaver. It seemed they wouldn't be returning today.
How they wished to see their children grow up strong and healthy...
"Next, you shall behold this king's majestic front."
The Black-Haired Wolf King paid no heed to the Beaver couple's feelings, continuing to speak calmly.
"To see this king's front is an honor for two mere Beavers like you."
Just as the Black-Haired Wolf King prepared to turn and pounce on the Beavers, its ears twitched.
Not just its, but the ears of the other wolves twitched as well.
They heard footsteps approaching from afar.
"I didn't expect there to be a small grove here."
"Why are so many trees fallen on the ground?"
"Hmm?"
"There's a situation up ahead."
King Kong: "Attention! Attention! Dogs! Dogs!"
The ones approaching from afar were naturally An Ke and his group.
They soon spotted the distant Wolf Pack and the Beaver couple.
An Ke's group was momentarily stunned.
Then, Barbie Hippopotamus was the first to snap out of it.
Seeing the Male Beaver pinned under a tree and the female beaver blocked by the Black-Haired Wolf King, it immediately let out a roar:
"How dare you, you little wolf pups?"
Barbie Hippopotamus charged forward in a rage.
In a single clash, it broke the Wolf Pack's formation, forcing them to abandon the Beaver couple and regroup.
Barbie Hippopotamus did not pursue. Instead, it went to the Beaver couple, asking if they were alright
while helping the Male Beaver free itself from under the tree.
The two young Beavers also came crying and running over.
As for An Ke's side...
They turned their attention to the Wolf Pack, which had not fled.
All fifteen wolves had their backs turned to them.
An Ke: "???"
The animals and wild men: "??"
Outside, the audience: "??"
King Kong: "What? Are you turning your backs on all living beings?"
"..."
