Chapter 728: The Wolf King Yields
The reason why the white-dress serpent demon's expression was filled with horror, and why she couldn't help but gasp…
…was because she identified SS-tier information from these black insects!
Yes…
She wasn't mistaken!
These were indeed SS-tier black insects!
As everyone knew…
Contracted creatures were also divided into tiers.
An SS-tier contracted creature meant that the summoning skill was SS-tier, equivalent to an Order Skill.
But the problem was…
She couldn't sense any trace of Order Power flowing!
What did this mean?
It meant that these contracted creatures were SS-tier even without the premise of Order infusion!
"But… even if these black insects are SS-tier, they still can't stand up to the ice wolves, who are mostly over level 140, right?"
The white-dress serpent demon felt a tinge of worry.
However…
The next second, Ling Zhan completely dispelled her concerns!
Buzz!
Buzz!
Buzz!
Under the astonished gazes of both the Ice God Wolf and the white-dress serpent demon, Ling Zhan didn't stop summoning!
SS-tier Thorn Flower Demons!
SS-tier Goblin Archers!
SS-tier Goblin Warriors!
SS-tier Lightning Wolves!
SS-tier Slimes!
…
In an instant…
Countless SS-tier contracted creatures appeared, and the previously spacious icy valley was instantly packed with these dense, overwhelming creatures!
The wolves that had surrounded Ling Zhan earlier suddenly found themselves surrounded instead by these seemingly comical but overwhelmingly intimidating contracted creatures!
At this moment…
Each of these contracted creatures, with their overwhelming attributes, locked their eyes on the ice wolves.
These wretched wolves dared to encircle their master?!
Did they eat bear hearts and leopard guts to have such audacity?!
Surely, they didn't think we, the "beginner-tier" contracted creatures, were easy to bully, right?!
As if answering their own thoughts…
A Goblin Warrior with bulging muscles and an aura as fearsome as a Martial God swung a massive punch at the head of a nearby level-140 ice wolf!
Whoosh!
The goblin's fist, cloaked in terrifying power, carried the aura of a Martial God.
If this punch landed, the ice wolf's skull and brain would undoubtedly shatter on impact!
Thankfully, the wolf reacted swiftly, tilting its head and narrowly avoiding the deadly strike!
Boom!
The Goblin Warrior's missed punch smashed into the ground, causing it to crack and shatter. The entire icy valley trembled, and signs of collapse began to emerge!
"Holy crap! What the…"
The other ice wolves, witnessing the terrifying power of this punch, couldn't help but flinch!
Honestly…
Their strength wasn't weak at all.
A level-140 monster's combat power should be equivalent to a level-130 Professional.
Since monsters couldn't undergo job changes, and their bloodlines weren't anything special, their combat power was comparable to a level-130 fourth-tier Professional.
In the Radiant Secret Realm's Snowfield, that was already incredibly strong.
If they fought a group of Professionals, these wolves would surely hold their ground.
Yet…
After witnessing the Goblin Warrior's punch, they were utterly terrified!
Terrifying!
Absolutely terrifying!
Was this really a "beginner-tier" contracted creature?
Why did its power feel so overwhelming, making even level-140 monsters like them tremble in fear?!
However…
The wolves didn't have time to think further.
The Goblin Warrior's first punch marked the official start of the battle.
The SS-tier Slime immediately lunged at the closest ice wolf!
The ice wolf snorted, slashing at the slime with its sharp claws.
Slash!
In an instant, the slime was split into several pieces.
Just as the wolf sneered…
Glug, glug…
The divided slime showed no sign of harm, instead attaching itself to the wolf's body!
Then…
Awoooo!
A pitiful howl echoed as the wolf's body was corroded, half of it dissolving into nothingness under the slime's terrifying acidic power!
Meanwhile…
The other SS-tier contracted creatures didn't hold back, launching devastating attacks on the ice wolves!
Within less than ten seconds, hundreds of level-140 ice wolves fell to the SS-tier creatures' relentless onslaught!
Hovering above, the white-dress serpent demon was completely stunned.
And…
So was the level-157 Ice God Wolf!
His gaze shifted to Ling Zhan, who sat atop a black insect, looking at the sky with a vacant, absentminded expression.
This…
"Ice God Wolf, here's my advice: yield now while you still can!"
"If you wait any longer, even you might not survive!"
"Think about it—why would I, a 150-level Ice Frost Python, willingly serve this human as a follower if he weren't extraordinary? Can't you see why?"
"Would you really risk your life for a few stalks of Supreme Ice Spirit Ginseng?"
The white-dress serpent demon transmitted her thoughts to the Ice God Wolf.
The Ice God Wolf's handsome face twisted with conflict.
Monsters of this level possessed intelligence comparable to, if not surpassing, humans.
Naturally, the Ice God Wolf understood the wisdom of self-preservation.
But still…
That Supreme Ice Spirit Ginseng was something he had guarded for so long!
It was supposed to be his ticket to breaking through level 160!
"Hurry up and decide! Will you die, or will you hand over the Supreme Ice Spirit Ginseng?!"
The white-dress serpent demon pressed him further.
The wolf pack was on the verge of being annihilated by these terrifying contracted creatures!
"Fine! Stop! Senior! I yield! I'm willing to hand over the Supreme Ice Spirit Ginseng!"
Finally, the Ice God Wolf chose to surrender.
Gone was his earlier arrogance.
He had no choice…
While he valued the Ice Spirit Ginseng, he couldn't hold onto it now.
Ling Zhan, snapping out of his apparent daze, calmly walked to the wolf den.
Under the Ice God Wolf's pained gaze, he collected the most precious stalks of Supreme Ice Spirit Ginseng into his storage ring and left without another word.
"Senior, where are you headed next?" the Ice God Wolf couldn't help but ask.
The white-dress serpent demon chuckled. "Senior plans to pay a visit to the Ice Soul Bear King for a chat."
The Ice God Wolf: "…"
Oh, come on!
Is this human planning to strip the Snowfield of all its treasures?!
He's even targeting the Ice Soul Bear King?!
Who is this human?! Isn't the Radiant Secret Realm supposed to only allow level-140 Professionals at most?
How could this human's strength so thoroughly exceed a typical level-140 Professional's?
