Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 193: Wolf King's Cooperation, the Future of the Divine Dog, and Prophecy
As Zong Shiyue's sneer ended, a shadow slowly condensed inside the glass box in the black box in front of Lin Feng.

It was the black shadow that he had unexpectedly seen before.

But now it is clearer, gradually turning into the shape of a wolf's head, floating on the cracked flesh and stone.

"Wolf King Ao?"

"Is this the Wolf King's true name?"

Lin Feng asked thoughtfully.

There were many third-level king beasts back then, but most of them were in the ocean.

Because the land has fewer biomass resources and has been plundered and ruled by humans for many years, the living space of other wild animals has been repeatedly compressed. Therefore, at the beginning of the catastrophe, not many third-level king beasts were born.

Otherwise, with the powerful strength of the third-level life form, which is comparable to a small nuclear bomb moving at high speed, it would be impossible for humans to rely on long-range firepower to quickly repel the mutant beast tide, retake the city, and establish a base.

But with the rise of the king beasts in the sea, many sea kings began to invade coastal areas, diverting human firepower and supporting the beast tribes on land...

With living space and breathing space, the wild beasts soon gave birth to many king beasts on land.

Fortunately, at that time, human beings had also made breakthroughs in their research on evolution, only two steps behind the birth of the king of land beasts.

But these two steps, in just one or two months, made mankind pay a very painful price.

The king beasts of land drove and led millions of mutant beasts to attack one base city after another.

At that time, Lin Feng, who had finally hidden in the base, could only pray to the beast tide outside the city to let them go amidst the bloody news of defeat.

Among these king beasts, the five most famous are the tiger king, the bear king, the pig king, the lion king, and the least famous wolf king.

They are found on all continents.

In the inland of East Asia where Lin Feng is located, a pig king was born. He is the toughest and most robust of the five king beasts.

The main reason was that wild boars were rampant in those years, and the explosive increase in their numbers provided the sample basis for the transformation.

As for the Wolf King, Lin Feng seldom heard of it, mainly because it was born in faraway North America across the ocean. There, wolves are predators at the top of the food chain, second only to grizzly bears.

Therefore, Lin Feng was confused at first about the existence of the Wolf King in the Taishan ruins. In his impression, there was no such third-level king beast in Lu.

Of course, we have no idea what it was called back then.

Zong Shiyue nodded and gave a brief introduction:

"Wolf King Ao, a single-word name."

"Back then, they gathered over a hundred thousand evolved wolves, drove away millions of mutant beasts, marched south and conquered ten cities in North America, and killed tens of millions of people..."

"Later, we reached a settlement with the Evolution Alliance, occupied one of the states, and began to build an underground refuge for the wolf tribe."

The king beast that killed tens of millions of humans!
When Lin Feng turned around and looked at the shadow again, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

The king beast that can achieve such a level must be extremely powerful and ferocious.

But if you think about it carefully, the plains in southern North America are very suitable for mutated beasts to carry out raids and attacks.

Yaks and bison similar to today's rock-horned horses, as well as large herbivores such as moose, have very strong impact force. After evolution and enhancement, the first stage can tear apart the formation and ignore bullet fire. The second stage can break through the city wall and withstand the bombardment of small artillery shells.

Although everyone in North America has a gun, the restrictions on large-caliber weapons and artillery are very strict, and the military industry itself has been in decline for many years.

After the original order was broken, it was impossible to reorganize production and produce large-caliber artillery in large quantities.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the Wolf King and his beasts devoured and killed tens of millions of people.

Just like the ancient Central Plains dynasties with lax military preparedness and private power structure, they would be attacked by barbarians from outside the Great Wall, have their defenses broken through, be plundered, and even lose their thrones.

But this also indirectly shows that the fully developed and evolved wolf tribe has accumulated rich foundation, which is why it can become a powerful force in the wasteland era.

Led by the late third-stage wolf king Ao, they can still plunder settlements and hunt humans.

"This guy is brutal and cunning. He implanted his own flesh and blood into the corpse wolf in the tunnel of the ruins station. That's why he's here now."

Zong Shiyue smiled sinisterly and continued:

"Fortunately, there aren't many third-level flesh and blood. Even if it's just a clone, it can only condense this little bit. It only has the consciousness of the Wolf King, but not one thousandth of its power."

"Even the wolf's entire body can't take shape..."

"If you just want to use it to cultivate evolved meat, it's better to erase its consciousness as soon as possible to avoid any accidents."

"Just use your filter to shatter the genetic chain of that mass of third-level flesh and blood. This will erase the consciousness of this clone at its root. Then, pour the essence back into the minced meat. It won't affect its subsequent use."

Lin Feng looked at the twenty-level filter beside him and nodded thoughtfully.

Zong Shiyue was right. He did not need the Wolf King's assistance. The reason was that those who were not of my race must have different hearts. Moreover, Lin Feng's plan, whether it was to artificially cultivate evolved meat or to seek the inheritance of the Wolf King's Tomb, would forge a blood feud with the Wolf King.

Leaving it behind might lead to some danger.

For example, the relentless pursuit of an entire pack of wolves in the wasteland.

Lin Feng had already seen the size of the wolf pack at the Taishan ruins. Although it was not as powerful as it was back then, there were at least late-stage second-order patriarch-level giant wolves in charge.

There are five large wolf packs like this one with a size of nearly 10,000. The old wolf king left behind five of them, and none of them is something Lin Feng can deal with right now.

Not to mention that they all attacked together to take back the original flesh and blood that carried the wolf king's consciousness.

So as Zong Shiyue said, erasing it is the best option.

However, just when Lin Feng was tempted to take out the source filter, the fully formed wolf head shadow suddenly spoke:

"I sense the presence of a steppe wolf. There's a young wolf nearby that hasn't evolved yet..."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the lifelike wolf head in the glass box, and said directly:

"I will train it and help it seize your third-level body and the Wolf King inheritance from the Wolf King's Tomb."

The expected anger did not occur, and the wolf head that was condensed shook up and down, unconcerned:

"I just want to ensure the birth of a third-level wolf king who can lead the wolf tribe to continue to survive."

The Wolf King's eyes passed through Lin Feng and looked at Zong Shiyue who was slowly emerging behind him:

"You have cut off the connection between the Feicheng Sanctuary and the Taishan Sanctuary, causing the evil god, sealed for thousands of years, to return to the world..."

"According to the witch's prophecy, the dark turmoil was started by you and will end in your hands. You are the son of prophecy and the terminator of the chaotic world."

"Betting on you is also part of the plan." Lin Feng was confused by Wolf King Ao's words. He was a wizard and a son of prophecy, acting mysterious and sophisticated.

"Who is Wu? A third-level being among the beastmen? What is its prophecy? Why is it involving me again?"

Lin Feng asked a series of questions to the two conscious beings present.

Zong Shiyue frowned, his face solemn. Wolf King Ao's words reminded him of something:
"Witches are a kind of legend among the beastmen. They are the spiritual images they see when they advance through levels. They originate from a fragment in their genes that has never been activated..."

"Of course, this is a legend spread among the beastmen. It may also be that a certain beastman's prophet left a prophecy like this to guide the beastmen forward."

"I don't know anything else. As for the Child of Prophecy, it's probably the same as the savior rumor of mankind. In my opinion, it was deliberately passed down so that everyone could retain a glimmer of hope in this harsh wasteland."

Before Lin Feng could speak, Wolf King Ao immediately retorted:

"Wu carries the blood of hundreds of races, and is the common ancestor of all beastmen. His words have been verified one by one. It is not surprising that you were able to escape from the seal."

After saying that, the Wolf King turned to Lin Feng and said:

"You're willing to keep the evil god by your side, so why do you care about my existence?"

"That wolf cub hasn't started evolving yet, and its evolutionary path hasn't been finalized yet. It can be trained from a young age, without having to stick to the Wasteland Wolf line. During the trial at the Wolf King's Tomb, it will have a great chance of obtaining my remaining inheritance."

Lin Feng narrowed his eyes. This was his original plan:

"You mean you want to parasitize the divine dog and guide it toward the correct evolutionary path?"

"But why should I trust you? Even without you, I can still use the Wild Wolf Essence and your remaining third-level flesh and blood to quickly enhance the Divine Dog's strength, allowing it to stand out among the second-level wasteland wolves."

The Wolf King did not answer directly, but repeated a few words of the divine dog:
"You named it the Divine Dog. What a good name it is, with the word 'divine' in it."

Then he gave his reasons:
"In addition to helping the divine dog achieve perfect evolution, I will also assist it in recruiting the five wolf tribe teams that were under my command back then."

"Before you enter the third stage, this is a powerful boost! Especially for you, if you want to evolve through the Immaculate Stage and ascend to the third stage king, the resistance you will face will be an entire wasteland world!"

"You don't need to believe me. You just need to understand that we have a common enemy: the gods of yesteryear. They are now in a deep sleep, but as the seal is lifted, they will awaken one by one."

"By then, the entire world will come to an end. You and I will become their food, helping them to completely transform into stepping stones for God..."

Hearing this, Lin Feng turned around and looked at Zong Shiyue.

The latter nodded silently:
"Once the dormant gods absorb the essence of all life forms and become omnipotent, they will use the entire world as their backyard, and we, the people of this world, will become their food."

"Their goal is to use the entire planet to sustain themselves. However, before that, only the strongest one, after killing the others of their kind, can ascend to the throne of godhood and control the world."

"The way to shepherd is to use the planet as pasture, all living things as grass, and raise the late third stage creatures as food."

Lin Feng took a deep breath and then looked at Wolf King Ao:
"One last thing. Since your consciousness is still there, why don't you revive yourself?"

"Your third-level body is uncontaminated and has been hidden deep at the bottom of the shelter for many years. You can leave after the seal is lifted and lead the wolf tribe again."

"This is more convenient and cost-effective than training a new successor."

In fact, this is also what Lin Feng is worried about.

Wolf King Ao will invade the body of the divine dog, use the level of his own cell evolution to suppress it, and gradually seize control of this body.

Similar to taking over another's body.

When this was mentioned, Wolf King Ao realized that he and Lin Feng were not on the same wavelength, or what the other party was worried about was nothing to him.

Because it has lost its ability to lead.

Thinking of this, Wolf Head sighed:

"Back then, the gods not only ordered me to invade the ruins of Mount Tai, but also took away a portion of my life essence."

"They've already digested and absorbed all of this. It's like they've got something on me. The next time we meet, I won't even have the chance to abandon my clan and escape."

"I can only become food in their mouths."

"And from now on, the entire wolf clan, generation after generation, will rely on my life essence to advance to the third-level king beast, and then return to being slaves and food."

"They have already devoured the former wolf tribe, squeezing out every last bit of value."

"So whether I am resurrected or not is meaningless. I cannot help you defeat the gods, nor can I lead the wolf tribe out of the fate of slavery."

"I can't change anything now. I can only place my hopes on my descendants. I hope that among them there will be someone with exceptional talent, forge their own path, and ultimately defeat me, ascend the throne, and become an even more powerful Wolf King."

"This is one of the reasons why I want to stay. Besides the fact that you, as the son of prophecy, have great potential to help the wolf tribe, I also want to use the divine dog, which has not yet evolved, to experiment with my conception that I've had for thousands of years."

After the explanation, Wolf King Ao added:
"Our cooperation doesn't need to begin now. You can consider it for a while. The Divine Dog will need another half a month to officially begin its first evolutionary awakening..."

"During this period, I will help you cultivate the evolved meat and control the amount of radiation emitted. You only need to place the enhanced meat or evolved meat in the box."

"But my energy reserves won't last long. Let's make a decision quickly."

As the wolf king spoke, his voice became softer and softer, and the condensed shadow of the wolf head gradually dissipated.

All that remained was a piece of meat stone in a glass box.

Lin Feng closed the black box and looked at Zong Shiyue:

"In your opinion, how much of what it says can be believed?"

Zong Shiyue frowned slightly and slowly raised one hand:

"About 60 to 70 percent. At least the explanation it gives does exist, and it's quite reasonable."

"However, the way to prevent the divine dog from being influenced and controlled is to separate Wolf King Ao's consciousness from his flesh and blood and transplant it into another being."

"In this way, its influence on the divine dog is reduced to a minimum, and there is no need to worry about it being secretly replaced."

Lin Feng nodded and asked another question:

"Ever since I woke up in the wasteland, I've been hearing rumors of a savior. Most of the top powers believe that they are the one destined to save humanity and the world..."

"Is this true? In other words, does the ability to predict the future really exist?"

　Flu outbreaks have been frequent recently, so please remember to wear masks.

　　I've been a little bit affected and feel very uncomfortable.
