295: Chapter 295 The Eccentric Black-haired Wolf King!

Everyone was bewildered as they looked at the pack of wolves with their backs turned to them.

What kind of nonsense is this?

It doesn't look like they're trying to run away either.

"Hah! Could it be this pack of wolves plans to fart us to death?" Aman exclaimed in surprise.

"Is it possible..." Old Crocodile's tone carried a thoughtful note.

"...that our appearance scared them witless?"

"Hmm!" Jin Gang drew out his reply, "After all, This Muscle Man here is too fierce. It's normal for them to be scared."

"So giao! Muscle Bro is just that fierce." A-Giao, the perfect straight man, immediately chimed in with support.

"Muscle Bro, how do you plan to deal with them?"

"Naturally, it depends on what my dear master thinks. As soon as my master gives the order, This Muscle Man will charge right up and take care of them."

"..."

An Ke curled his lip imperceptibly, ignoring the back-and-forth between Jin Gang and A-Giao.

He did not issue a command.

Although these wolves were larger than normal ones.

They had not surpassed Old Crocodile, nor were they ancient species.

His Level 5 [Natural Affinity] could definitely influence them.

So, it wasn't a big problem.

At that moment, Barbie Hippopotamus had already rescued the Beaver.

Lifting this tree was no difficulty at all for a Hippopotamus with a body length of eight meters.

The Hippopotamus hurriedly asked, "Little guy, are you alright?"

The Male Beaver let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a wave of ease.

Its oval, shoe-sole-like tail twitched, and then it frowned slightly.

A bit painful... It seemed to be injured.

But it wasn't a big problem.

So, the Male Beaver shook its head, "I'm fine. I should be okay after resting for a few days!"

"Wonderful! Father of my children!"

The female Beaver, her voice choked with sobs, tightly embraced her husband.

Tears also welled up in the eyes of the two children, who wanted to go over and hug their parents.

A family should be complete and together.

But they were pushed away by the female Beaver, "You two go over there for now. Don't disturb us, husband and wife, in this moment of embrace."

The two little Beavers: "???"

Instantly, they didn't feel sad anymore.

Seeing this scene, Barbie Hippopotamus revealed a gratified smile.

It's good that they're okay! It's good that they're okay!

Immediately after, it turned to look at the Wolf Pack.

Even though the Wolf Pack was acting very strangely, with their backs turned to other creatures.

But the irritable "Barbie" didn't bother with overthinking it.

It opened its huge maw, a maw like an abyss, filled with thick, hard tusks.

A mouth like this was enough to intimidate many creatures and make them cower in fear.

While displaying this threat, the Hippopotamus roared out:

"Dare to bully my buddy? Looking for death!!"

As it spoke, the Hippopotamus roared again, "Are you prepared to face my wrath?"

"Right now, I am extremely irritable."

Opening its massive jaws, the Hippopotamus prepared to charge straight into the Wolf Pack.

Seeing the huge hippo charging towards them from the corner of their eyes, the Wolf Pack immediately bristled, their fur standing on end.

Right now, their feeling was akin to seeing a car speeding towards them.

The Wolf Pack immediately prepared to scatter.

However, the Black-Haired Wolf King shouted out, "Without my command, you dare to move?"

"Maintain your posture!"

"..."

"B-but..."

"Wolf King, if we don't react, we'll be wiped out."

"My King!"

"..."

The Wolf Pack cursed inwardly. Did this new Wolf King really have a screw loose?

Did he intend to let them wait for death?

But the rules of the wolf clan were strict; all wolves must obey the alpha. The Black-Haired Wolf King said to maintain posture, so they had no choice but to obey.

However, among the pack, that Vicious Wolf who had earlier given the Black-Haired Wolf King a fierce look could no longer endure it.

It intended to roar and resist this Black-Haired Wolf King.

But just as its body began to move, it heard the Black-Haired Wolf King speak calmly:

"Brother Hippopotamus, if you want to fight, that's fine."

"But could you wait a moment first?"

"This king..." He paused and corrected himself, "I feel I have encountered a kindred spirit, a sir with whom I can commune on a profound level."

"I intend to greet him first. The conflict between you and us can be settled later."

Hearing this, Barbie Hippopotamus, who had been charging wildly, immediately "slammed on the brakes."

It was somewhat confused and puzzled, "Kindred spirit? Profound communion?"

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

As an irritable old-timer, under normal circumstances, it wouldn't pay attention to any creature, only doing as it pleased.

But now was different. An Ke, this big shot, was right there.

What if the other party was referring to this big shot, An Ke?

Wouldn't that mean it was attacking the big shot's acquaintance?

That was absolutely unacceptable.

So Barbie Hippopotamus halted its attack, intending to ask An Ke first. As long as he said it wasn't him.

Then it would charge without hesitation.

Barbie Hippopotamus looked at An Ke, "Big shot, are you acquainted with them?"

Of course, he was not acquainted.

However, An Ke could be certain that the other party's talk of encountering a kindred spirit for profound communion was most likely referring to himself.

Because the other party was being influenced by his [Natural Affinity].

An Ke simply waved his hand, "Barbie, calm down for now."

"Let me talk with them."

Hearing this, Barbie nodded, then added in a deep voice:

"But, big shot, later I want them to give me an explanation."

"We hippos may be violent, but what we stand for is loyalty, and having no crocodile to sit on."

Old Crocodile curled his lip, correcting, "It's 'no evil left undone'!"

Day after day, trying to use us crocodiles as seats, huh?

An Ke chuckled lightly and agreed readily, "No problem!"

After speaking, he looked towards the Black-Haired Wolf King.

"Black Wolf, is the person you wish to converse with, me?"

He saw the Black Wolf point its rear end towards An Ke, making the latter's eyelid twitch.

Suddenly, he didn't feel like talking anymore and wanted to let Barbie continue, to charge and scatter this Wolf Pack.

Just as he was thinking this, the voice of the Black-Haired Wolf King came:

"That's right, sir!"

"This king..." He paused and corrected himself again, "I indeed wish to speak with you."

"Sir, upon seeing you, I felt as if bathed in a spring breeze, a sense of regret that we did not meet sooner."

"I am eager to befriend a capable person like you. May I ask, sir, how should I address you? And is it possible for us to become friends?"

This wolf seems to be on par with Old Crocodile.

No! Compared to Old Crocodile, this Black Wolf has an extra dose of chuunibyou flair, and even...

An Ke looked at the Black-Haired Wolf King, who had its rear end pointed at him.

He silently gave his evaluation: and a touch of eccentricity.

"Sir, what are you pondering?"

Seeing An Ke deep in thought without answering, the Black-Haired Wolf King inquired.

An Ke shook his head, indicating it was nothing.

Then he responded, "Of course, you can befriend me."

"But I'm a bit curious. Why are you speaking to me with your back turned?"

An Ke voiced his confusion.

This time, the Black-Haired Wolf King did not answer immediately.

It raised its head to look at the sky—no, more accurately, at the cavern's dome ceiling.

It exuded an aura of seasoned experience and loneliness.

After a moment, it finally spoke slowly, its tone profound:

"Sir, do you know what preference all big shots share in common?"

Not waiting for An Ke to answer, the Black-Haired Wolf King answered its own question:

"They all like to stand with their hands behind their backs, turning their backs to the multitude."

"And since I cannot put my hands behind my back, I can only learn to turn my back to the multitude..."

An Ke: "..."

The audience outside: "..."

"Is this wolf really that eccentric?"

...
