“War? Who are you trying to scare?!”
Zhou You immediately flared up. To provoke him in his own home and still be so arrogant?
Without thinking, he took out a bigu pill, ate it directly, and swallowed it despite the nausea.
Seeing this, the Wolf King’s pupils contracted, and his eyes showed apprehension.
Humans were far superior to demons in alchemy. Taking a pill before battle must be for strengthening one's power.
The Mountain Chicken King also felt that something was wrong, secretly alarmed.
“When has our Earth Dog Clan ever been cowardly?”
Zhou You snorted, “Don’t say I look down on you all, but if we really fight, it’s hard to say who will live and who will die.”
With that, he roared, “Brothers and sisters!”
The pack of Earth Dogs surged, their roars shaking the canyon.
Each one bared their fangs menacingly, their sharp claws digging into the ground, ready for a great battle.
The Wolf King’s expression changed drastically; he was currently inside the canyon. “Dog… Dog King, we are all of the same race, what… what do you mean by this?”
Zhou You took a step forward, “You came uninvited, did you submit a visiting card?”
“Vis… visiting card?”
The Wolf King swallowed, what was that? He had never heard of it.
Zhou You said coldly, “I treated you politely, yet you kept barking like a dog. Is that being reasonable?”
The Wolf King instinctively retreated, feeling somewhat in the wrong.
Zhou You pointed a large hand at the Wolf King, “You said our clan forced relations with your clan. Wasn’t that to help you proliferate more descendants? What does having many descendants mean? It means combat power! Our Earth Dog Clan has excellent bloodlines, what are you Wolf Clan? Your bloodline isn’t even as pure as the Blood Shadow Wolf clan. Are you taking yourself too seriously?!”
The Wolf King lowered his head, “I… I didn’t… didn’t mean that, it’s just… it’s just…”
Zhou You snorted, “You wouldn’t think that I could sit in this position without doing anything, would you? I could destroy a seventh-grade Dog King, so I can’t destroy you? Are you stupid, or are you foolish?”
The Wolf King trembled, unable to utter a single word.
“And you.”
Zhou You then looked at the colorful Mountain Chicken King, “Instead of always thinking about becoming a phoenix, why are you acting like a big-tailed wolf here?”
The Mountain Chicken King was stunned, “Can a chicken become a phoenix?”
Zhou You reprimanded, “Look at your spineless, useless appearance. You were one family fifty thousand years ago, and your bloodlines are inherently connected. What about phoenixes? Do they have more heads than you, or more eyes? Can’t you even think about surpassing them? Replacing them?”
The Mountain Chicken King lowered his head, shame evident in his eyes.
“Simply incurable.”
Zhou You rolled and widened his eyes, “In my life, I hate unpromising people and demons the most. All you know is to flaunt your power at the lower levels. If you really have the ability, then improve yourselves and become top-tier.”
The Mountain Chicken King trembled, “But I’m just a chicken.”
“What about a chicken?”
Zhou You spat, “Who stipulated that chickens can only be eaten or sold? Refuse to be defined, understand?”
“Refuse to be defined?”
The Mountain Chicken King muttered to himself, and suddenly there was light in his eyes.
Zhou You looked up, “I have a dream. In my dream, chickens are not just for sale, and Earth Dogs are not just for guarding homes. We must live out our true selves, returning to our original nature. Even if it’s just a chicken, it must be an independent chicken!”
The Mountain Chicken King spread his wings, knelt on the ground, tears flowing from his chicken eyes. “Great Dog King, Xiao Ji will engrave your profound words in his heart and never forget them.”
Recalling his life as a chicken, his definition was to be sold, to be eaten, belonging to the bottom of the food chain.
The Wolf King knelt on his front paws, “I humbly request, great Dog King, to give me a chance to reform. My clan is willing to intermarry with your clan to create the newest bloodline.”
He was both surprised and terrified, fearing that he would be devoured the next moment.
“I am a very simple person,”
Zhou You’s Left Hand loosened his scabbard, “If you respect me, I naturally won’t take your lives. However, food has been somewhat scarce lately, which is quite troubling.”
The Wolf King hurriedly said, “From now on, wherever the Earth Dog Clan passes, just say the word, and our territory can be freely used for foraging.”
The Mountain Chicken King also interjected, “I am not talented, but I have raised some humans and made them raise chickens for my clan. I have also opened a chicken farm and am willing to provide fifty thousand eggs to the great Dog King every month.”
Zhou You smiled, “Very good, I’ll call you Xiao Ji…”
After speaking, he felt awkward again, “Mountain Chicken King, Wolf King, both of you performed very well, I am very satisfied. As long as both of you sincerely repent, I personally am very willing to work hand in hand with you all to eliminate the human race.”
The Wolf King was invigorated, “Great Dog King, I seem to have already seen your future, adorned with a halo, like a war god descending upon the world, becoming the most top-tier existence.”
Zhou You laughed heartily, “Young Master is already top-tier.”
For a moment, there were wolf howls, Earth Dog barks, and chicken clucks.
Zhou You asked again, “By the way, tell me, have there been any special occurrences recently?”
The Mountain Chicken King flapped his wings and landed, “Great Dog King, it is said that the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, two hundred miles to the northeast, has not been peaceful recently. The Snake King has always been sinister and vicious, acting arrogantly and domineeringly. Rumor has it that he might expand his territory.”
The Wolf King also said, “For some unknown reason, that fellow has broken through from fourth grade to seventh grade in just ten years.”
Zhou You’s mind stirred, “Could it be that he ate some extraordinary spiritual item?”
The Mountain Chicken King respectfully said, “The specifics are unknown, but his momentum is very fierce.”
The Wolf King thought for a moment and said, “It is said that the Snake King can even poison a Vajra Bear whose strength is close to eighth grade. Other demon races have rumors that he might transform into a Flood Dragon.”
“Transform into a Flood Dragon?”
Zhou You was somewhat surprised.
There were rumors among the people that a large snake becomes a python, a large python becomes a boa, a large boa becomes a Flood Dragon, and a large Flood Dragon becomes a true dragon.
But whether this was actually the case, and what the specific transformation trend was, Zhou You was not clear.
It was just that some titles often did not change.
For example, once the title of Snake King was set, even if he transformed into a python, he would not be called Python King.
Also, such rumors could often only be taken as reference, not as rigid rules.
For example, before Zhou You entered Ye City, there was a fourth-grade demon beast, the Turbid Boa.
The Turbid Boa had a massive body and outstanding abilities, but he could absolutely not be the Snake King’s opponent.
“It sounds like there must be something special that enhanced his strength.”
Zhou You’s thoughts raced, and he had the idea of seizing it.
As his thoughts settled, Zhou You smiled, “As long as I am here, I don’t think he would dare to invade. However, demons without foresight will surely have immediate worries. Since this Snake King is not honest, for our future peaceful days, we must deal with him first.”
