Chapter 650: Fire Demon Wolf
Gu Qingyuan strolled along the mountain road. The flames of the torches along the way swayed, illuminating the branches on both sides of the road, making them look like slender ghost shadows.

He stared at the flames for a while, then took out a piece of white stone from his sleeve. There was a pattern carved on it with red paint. It was a token that the high priest had given to Gu Qingyuan.

Sometimes, living longer means more experience, time is the best teacher, and in this world, the high priest who has entered his old age is the foundation of the entire tribe and a wise man.

He did not directly agree to Gu Qingyuan's proposal. Not to mention that Gu Qingyuan seemed like a faith peddler who promoted heretical evil gods, the mere fact that it involved the faith conflict of the entire tribe and the attitude of the sacred beast was enough to make the high priest lose a lot of hair.

Giving the token had already shown his attitude, and they were living in peace. The high priest did not send anyone to watch Gu Qingyuan's every move, but let him roam around, even though this was a forbidden area that outsiders could hardly set foot in.

Gu Qingyuan was used to making deals with smart people, and the old and experienced high priest could hardly be called a fool. Going up the stairs, Gu Qingyuan quietly felt the rhythm of the flames, and the next second, he disappeared without a trace.

In the huge cave, there is overwhelming magma, which is constantly flowing and surging, emitting suffocating fire poison and miasma.

Deep inside the cave, there is a towering rock surrounded by a sea of ​​magma. Wisps of fire and smoke envelope the entire space, and the fire mist is everywhere. Behind the steaming fire, there is a looming beast shape.

With black scales, a single horn on its head and sharp fangs, it looked like a wolf-like beast perched on a protruding boulder. Through the diffuse fire, one could see the broken scales and two deep bloody holes on its abdomen.

Its body is so huge that the size of an ordinary person is not even as big as the spikes on its claws. This is the sacred beast of the tribe, the Fire Wolf.

Although it is named a sacred beast, it is difficult to conceal the vicious aura of Huohuo as a top predator. It is an evil beast at the top of the food chain, but compared to other giant beasts, it is closer to humans.

In other words, no matter which giant beast it is, whether it protects humans or not is actually a difference in strategy. In the final analysis, they are all keeping humans in captivity, but some are just draining the pond to catch fish and devouring flesh and blood indiscriminately, while others are just taking it slow and long-term.

How can such a huge disparity in strength lead to equal interactive status? Mercy from the superiors can provide temporary peace, but occasional anger can destroy everything. The countless lives and bones of the Holy Stone Tribe are enough to prove this.

After all, when the tribe was prosperous, the grand sacrifice every ten years and the blood offering every five years could not be delayed for a moment. It required the most spiritual children and the most vigorous warriors in the tribe to devote themselves to the arms of the sacred beast and become one with it.

This is no less than cutting meat with a blunt knife, which will wear away the strength of the tribe bit by bit. However, without the protection of the sacred beast, the entire tribe will be destroyed at any moment. Only by staying alive can there be hope. The choice is obvious.

It is precisely because of this that the foundation of the Holy Stone Tribe has always been maintained at a certain level. They are neither weak nor strong, and they cannot die, but it is also difficult for them to prosper. They are just trying to survive. Just like countless tribes in the entire wilderness, they are still relatively lucky. After all, there are countless tribes in the wilderness that have disappeared in history.

The only thing that can break this strange cycle is the fight between giant beasts. The war between the Holy Stone and the Teng Snake was caused by the attack and plunder of the two giant beasts. However, the Fire Demon Wolf was at a disadvantage in the battle with the Teng Snake. The demon wolf twitched its nose and soon discovered the uninvited guest in the cave. Its erect animal pupils quickly stared at the newcomer: "Human, who are you?"

Its predatory nature made it difficult for it to restrain its brutality, but the silent invader was enough to calm the magic wolf. After all, its current condition was not very good, otherwise what would have greeted Gu Qingyuan would not have been a test, but a spewing of fire.

Gu Qingyuan stared at the magic wolf. With his current size, it was like heaven and earth for him. The huge size represented unparalleled strength. The mere breathing of the magic wolf was like a strong wind to ordinary people. It didn't even need to make any other movements. Its existence itself was a disaster.

The Fire Wolf, which possesses the power of fire, has the power to influence the climate of an area. Wherever it resides, the surrounding temperature will continue to rise with the fire it exhales, and water vapor will evaporate, extracting moisture from the soil and air, turning the nearby land into dry soil. This is merely the impact of the fire circulation in its body and its vital signs.

Facing the demon wolf's inquiry, Gu Qingyuan said, "Are you interested in changing your profession, a mount or a pet?"

This was tantamount to a provocation. Even though the residual poison left by the old opponent was still lingering in the body, the demon wolf still exploded. A fierce light flashed in its yellow eyes, and countless sparks burst out from its mouth and gathered together.

Just as it was about to spew out a huge column of fire, the next second, the magic wolf was like an asthma patient who was terminally ill. It kept gasping for breath and coughing. It was about to choke out a breath. Even the flame that was accumulating power was extinguished. It spewed out large amounts of black smoke from the depths of its throat, and the entire cave became smoky and foul.

Before the demon wolf could react, in its violent emotional fluctuations of surprise, it discovered that everything around it was getting bigger, no, it was getting smaller!

Soon, it changed from a towering giant wolf into a tiny animal that was shorter than Gu Qingyuan's calf. It looked more like a dog than a wolf.

Gu Qingyuan looked at the 'puppy' in front of him and pinched its head: "You are so rude. I don't have the habit of looking up all the time to communicate. I have to put up with you. I hope you don't blame me."

The demon wolf was terrified. Its original black scales turned into black hair, and its huge body shrank rapidly. That was not the end. It found that even its fire-controlling divine power had disappeared. Without the blessing of power, the originally comfortable cave became unbearable. The continuous high temperature continued to impact its senses. For the Fire Demon Wolf, heat was a rare feeling.

"Woof woof woof woof!"

As soon as it opened its mouth, it mastered a foreign language. Gu Qingyuan patted its head, and the demon wolf spoke human language: "Who are you? I don't think I have seen you before. There is no hatred between us. If there is any misunderstanding, I think I can explain it."

The situation reversed, and the demon wolf quickly learned to be polite, and heard the person in front of him say:
"I'm just a passerby. There's no misunderstanding or hatred between us. As for me coming to see you, it's just a coincidence. Congratulations, you won the prize by chance!"
