In an extremely remote and desolate place, in a secluded canyon devoid of any greenery, thousands of wolf demons gathered.

The canyon is called Shattered Rock Valley, and the monster clan that occupies it is a wolf monster clan known as the Valley Wolf Clan.

The Valley Wolf Clan was originally just an ordinary branch of the wolf demon clan, nothing special. Until four years ago, when the Valley Wolf Clan's leader, Xi Yan, unexpectedly obtained a sample of the blood of the great demon Yuan Yuan, his strength increased by leaps and bounds, leaping from a mid-level demon to a great demon, and the situation changed.

According to the tradition of the wolf demon clan, Xiyan, who became a great demon, defeated the alpha wolves of various tribes, unified most of the wolf demon clan, and gathered the elite demons of each tribe in the valley, which resulted in the scene of thousands of wolf demons living together in one place, a sight that the wolf clan had not seen for a long time.

This is how it's been circulating, but Xi Yan, one of the people involved in the legend, knows that there's a major error in it.

The fallacy lies in the fact that the blood that transformed Xi Yan was not something he obtained by chance, but rather something he found under the guidance of someone he summoned from hell.

In a corner of the valley, in a cave designated as a forbidden area by the entire wolf clan, Xi Yan reverted to his true form and lay quietly. This wolf king's true form, however, did not resemble a wolf at all.

Its body was completely hairless, covered instead in hard, black snake scales. Its eyes were not the cunning emerald green or earthy yellow of a wolf, but rather cold, dazzling golden pupils like a snake's. In its wide-open mouth, its tongue had transformed into a forked snake's tongue. This wolf king, with such a appearance, slightly opened its mouth and exhaled a breath carrying deadly venom.

"Hello, my friend, is there anything I can do for you to come here today?"

The one that Wolf King Xiyan called a "friend" was the very same hellish visitor who had helped him find Yuan Yuan's blood.

“Xiyan, what I’m about to say is very important to you, so I hope you will listen carefully.”

The girl, though possessing a beautiful face, was expressionless and somewhat cold. She held a seemingly ordinary crystal ball in her hand. After Xi Yan nodded solemnly, she spoke softly.

"Just as I said when we first met, Lord Yuan Yuan sprinkled his own blood throughout the world in order to select some qualified guards through this blood. We, the forces in Hell, have also selected agents in the lower realm, hoping to establish a relationship with him by helping our agents become his guards."

The person lying in the cave with their eyes wide open, spouting nonsense with a straight face, is none other than Wangliang, the leader of the weapon-type faction [Power]. This vile woman, taking advantage of her ignorance of the situation in Hell through her stream eye, tells lies without the slightest embarrassment.

In fact, the leaders of all the forces in Hell knew that Yuan Yuan's purpose in spreading his incarnation's blood throughout the world was to collect bloodline information from various species through this blood.

When Yuan Yuan feels he has gathered enough information, he will reclaim the blood. At that time, it won't just be the blood of Yuan Yuan's avatar that will be reclaimed; all life forms that have fused with Yuan Yuan's blood to enhance their strength will have all their blood drained in an instant due to the close fusion of their own bloodline with Yuan Yuan's blood, becoming part of Yuan Yuan's bloodline reservoir.

Knowing all this, knowing that the wolf before him would not have a good end, Wangliang felt no pity whatsoever. Born from a Zanpakuto, he had no capacity for compassion for life.

She raised her hand, held up the crystal ball, and displayed it to Xi Yan, speaking softly.

"This is your chance."

As spiritual energy flowed into the crystal ball, the seemingly ordinary crystal ball began to reveal its extraordinary nature. The center of the crystal ball, which was originally slightly murky, gradually became clear and transparent. However, Xi Yan could not see the demons on the other side through the crystal ball, because a strange scene appeared in the clear center of the crystal ball.

In the center of the crystal ball, a little girl dressed in ordinary clothes knelt on the ground. Beside her lay another little girl whose head had rolled off the ground and whose lower body was a mess.

Tears streamed down the surviving girl's face, yet a twisted smile remained. Without wiping away her tears, she pressed her hand to the ground, then, as if pulling something out, she exerted a sudden upward force. Incredibly, she pulled a long sword, as tall as herself, gleaming with a chilling light, from the earth.

Gripping her long knife tightly, the girl stumbled out of the room. Outside, a group of burly men stood blocking her way, each in a different posture but all with threatening expressions, seemingly trying to intimidate the little girl and tell her to mind her own business. However, they all froze when they saw the long knife in the girl's hand.

Without uttering a word, the girl effortlessly wielded the long sword, which was clearly too long for her, and easily decapitated the man in front of her.

And so, the killing began.

P.S. It's a new month, and I only have one monthly pass besides the one I cast myself, not a single tip. I'm so disappointed.

Chapter Sixty-Six: Compassion (Part Five)

Looking at the girl in the crystal ball, who had slaughtered everyone in the village and stood amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, Xi Yan subconsciously stuck out her black, forked tongue.

"Creating weapons out of thin air? No, that's not right. That knife was made quickly by extracting suitable materials for weapon forging from the ground. That ability isn't too special. She's clearly just an ordinary person, yet she seems to have been born knowing how to fight. Has her fighting instinct been enhanced? That ability is somewhat useful. As for that endurance and stamina far exceeding that of her kind, that's rather enviable. Wangliang, tell me, how much blood did this lucky little girl obtain?"

"I was right about you from the start, you're a big idiot."

The demon tilted its head, its face still expressionless, but a hint of mockery flickered in its eyes.

"Look closely, does this girl have any snake-like features?"

Xi Yan was startled, staring intently at the girl in the glass sphere who had no snake-like features whatsoever. A human-like expression of shock appeared on his enormous wolf face. He then remembered that when he first obtained the snake blood and before it fused with his own, his body retained its original wolf-like appearance, and his abilities remained almost unchanged.

But while maintaining a human form, this girl has already acquired multiple abilities. How much snake blood has she obtained? A hint of fanaticism flickered in the golden pupils of Xi Yan's eyes.

Sometime later, a mask had appeared on the face of the demon, its features twisted and grotesque with greed. The voice emanating from beneath the mask had become ethereal, a voice so powerful it could easily draw out the deepest, most hidden greed within anyone.

“Xi Yan, Xi Yan, you should underestimate this girl’s good fortune. What she obtained was not something as insignificant as snake blood. What she obtained was that snake’s eye. That’s right, a snake’s eye, an organ from that great one.”

The wolf king, like a cold-blooded snake, rapidly flicked his forked tongue, his eyes gleaming with a cold and greedy light.

The greedy face on the demon mask became even more lifelike, as if there really was someone greedily watching everything in the world.

“Xi Yan, Xi Yan, think about it. You paid a huge price for a piece of snake blood, while that girl obtained a treasure far superior to yours by sheer luck. You are the king of the wolf clan, a powerful being destined to enter hell. The snake eye should be yours, while that girl is just a mortal, an ordinary person. What makes her worthy of having the snake eye that belongs to you?”

"Snake Eyes belong to me."

It breathed heavily, and a low roar echoed through the creek cave, creating rolling waves of air.

Satisfied with Xi Yan's reaction, Wang Liang spoke softly.

"That's right, Snake Eyes is yours!! Go, take this crystal ball, follow its guidance, kill that damned thief and her accomplices, and take back what belongs to you."

With a howl that sounded like both a wolf's howl and a snake's roar, Xi Yan crashed through the cave ceiling and shot off into the distance.

In the dust-filled cave, Wangliang watched Xiyan depart into the distance, smiled eerily, and the greedy mask stuck to her face seemed to come alive, howling as it rushed into Xiyan's body, making his howls even more frenzied.

In a dense forest, Lehei, unaware that a conspiracy against him had already begun, was holding a little girl, chatting with her while trying to find the nearest human settlement to buy her some clothes.

After all, dress-up games are still quite appealing to some people with particular interests.

Suddenly, Le Hei stopped in his tracks, looked up at the sky, and his expression turned grim. He could sense a powerful killing intent aimed at him, or rather, at the girl in his arms, rapidly approaching from not far away. It was probably about to enter his field of vision.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lehei quickly constructed a hidden, defensive formation and placed the girl inside.

"Remember, whatever you do, don't go out..."

Le Hei, who was telling the girl not to come out, suddenly narrowed his eyes, his pupils constricting in shock and disbelief. Before he could even turn around or cast a demonic energy shield around himself, Le Hei spread his arms wide and stood firmly in front of the girl.

Just as Lehei opened his arms, countless enormous, jet-black orbs of demonic energy crashed down, leaving afterimages. They easily broke through the fragile demonic energy protective layer that his body instinctively activated, and slammed into his back, pinning his feet into the ground.

The highly toxic demonic power corroded the clothes and destroyed the flesh. What splattered was not fresh blood, but a foul-smelling liquid formed from the decaying flesh.

Lehei could sense the enemy's strength. Facing such a formidable foe, he wasn't confident he could protect the girl, so he planned to hide her and face the enemy alone. However, he hadn't anticipated the enemy's haste; they launched a fierce attack before he could even see them. Miscalculating, he had lost the initiative and, to protect the girl, could only shield her with his own body from the ensuing attacks.

Clenching his teeth, Lehei swallowed the blood that had risen to his lips and forced a smile at the pale, terrified girl, trying to comfort her. However, the almost continuous spheres of demonic energy behind Lehei and the splattering putrid liquid rendered his smile utterly ineffective.

The girl frantically reached out, wanting to touch Le Hei's body, but was afraid of disturbing him, so she could only freeze in mid-air.

"Give me back my snake eyes! Give them back!!"

The roaring monster hurtled towards them, its demonic energy orbs surging as its black scales extended and pierced deeply into Le Hei's chest.

Finally, Lehei could no longer hold back the blood in his mouth, and it gushed out, splattering fragments of internal organs all over the girl's face. The demonic energy ball then stopped. The wolf king's right paw remained embedded in Lehei's chest, its massive head reaching over Lehei's shoulder to the girl, howling madly.

"Give it back! Give it back to me!! Give it back to me now!!"

Despite the imminent danger of the wolf's jaws, the girl showed no fear. She blankly peeled a piece of blackened internal organs from her face, and a crooked smile gradually appeared on her face, while a faint golden light slowly emerged in her eyes.

"Hehe, I finally caught you."

The sudden familiar voice startled the girl, the gold in her eyes gradually faded, and tears slowly slid down her cheeks.

With his head bowed, Le Hei's eyes were hidden in the shadows cast by his hairline, a ferocious smile twisting his lips. One hand gripped the wolf's paw against his chest, while the other reached over his shoulder and choked the wolf king's throat.

"Don't yell at other people's most precious treasures and spit on them, you disgusting lunatic!"

P.S., Ah, I saw a reader's review today, and that's when I realized where my problem lay. [Is this what they mean by "the onlooker sees more of the game"?] However, even though I know where the problem is, I can't fix it right away, since I'm currently taking exams. After I finish my exams on the 14th, I'll revise the outline. So, for those of you who don't like the current style, please bear with me for another ten or so chapters. [bows]

Chapter Sixty-Seven: Compassion (Part Six)

A violent surge of demonic power erupted from Lehei's hand, which was gripping the wolf king's throat, seemingly capable of easily tearing the enemy's throat and taking his life.

However, the reality was that Lehei's demonic power could not break through the wolf king's defense at all. Although he sent the wolf king flying far away and smashed a series of trees, the wolf king did not lose a single scale.

Adjusting his posture in mid-air, the Wolf King created a turbulent ball of demonic energy beneath his feet, then stomped hard on it. Instantly, the demonic energy exploded like a detonated bomb, and the Wolf King used the force of this explosion to rush towards Le Hei again at an unbelievable speed.

Although the explosion of demonic power was extraordinary, the Wolf King's scales provided excellent defense, leaving him completely unharmed.

"Powerless, powerless, powerless! Powerless attack! Powerless defense! Powerless gaze! Powerless movement! You're powerless in everything, so what makes you think you can stand in front of me! You powerless piece of trash, get out of my way!!"

As the wolf king roared and charged toward Le Hei, it unleashed a barrage of demonic energy balls at him, attempting to suppress his movements.

With a grim expression, Le Hei opened his mouth wide without a word, and with a sudden inhale, the incoming demonic energy orbs rapidly shrank as he swallowed them. His eyes coldly fixed on the Wolf King, Le Hei opened his mouth again, and instantly a huge orb of demonic energy, a mixture of the Wolf King's black demonic energy and his own emerald green demonic energy, exuding a strong sense of danger, flew out, heading straight for the Wolf King's head.

Although the speed of the demonic energy ball launched by Lehei was not fast, the Wolf King's linear speed, boosted by the explosion, was so high that he had no time to turn and could only rush straight towards the demonic energy ball.

However, the wolf king showed no panic in the face of this dangerous situation. He grinned and opened his mouth wide, raising his forked tongue to reveal nearly twenty pieces of black pearls embedded in his mouth.

The unreserved infusion of demonic power caused a fragment to light up rapidly. A weak summoned creature from hell suddenly appeared between the Wolf King and the demonic power sphere, and before it could react, it was swatted into the demonic power sphere by the Wolf King's claw.

In an instant, the unstable demonic energy ball exploded. The inferior synthetic beast, which had just been summoned and hadn't even had a chance to see its contents clearly, was instantly blasted into scattered pieces of flesh and blood. Most of its body components were completely annihilated.

Although the explosion of the demonic energy ball was powerful, it had been detonated beforehand. The wolf king, not being at the center of the blast, suffered no harm except for a few drops of blood seeping from under some of its scales. Those minor bleeding wounds were completely healed by the great demon's powerful regenerative abilities as the wolf king moved out of the blast radius.

Before the wolf king's jaws could close, demonic power surged into another fragment, and instantly another synthetic beast appeared before him. Without the slightest hesitation, the wolf king swung its sharp claws at the newly appeared synthetic beast. Summoned from a mere fragment, the synthetic beast's strength was only equivalent to a mid-level demon, and it was torn in two without any ability to resist under the wolf king's claws.

The instant the chimera was torn apart, before the blood could even spurt out, a ghostly light flashed from the wolf king's claws. Instantly, all the blood from the chimera's corpse was drawn out, forming a thin film of blood that adhered to the wolf king's claws. With the appearance of this blood film, the wolf king's already dangerous claw strikes became even more terrifying, whipping up a foul-smelling gust of wind as it lashed out at Lehei.

Although the Wolf King's series of actions were swift, they still gave Le Hei time to react. The deadly sense of danger made Le Hei subconsciously transform back into its true form, a giant snake with two sharp horns piercing the sky on its head and an emerald green body.

The giant snake lowered its head, its long, sword-like horns stabbing straight at the wolf king.

The blood-red wolf claws collided with the emerald green snake horns. Silently, the wolf claws sliced ​​the snake horns into several irregular fragments and smashed half of the giant snake's head.

Having dealt with Lehei, the Wolf King didn't utter any harsh words, nor did it slow down to intimidate the girl. Instead, it maintained its high speed and charged towards her, its still-blood-red claws aimed directly at her head, as if it would crush her skull at any moment.

However, just before the wolf's claws were about to touch the girl, a bright green snake tail lashed out, firmly blocking the blood-red wolf's claws, and then suddenly exerted force, sending the wolf king flying.

A giant, emerald-green snake coiled around the girl, its body shimmering with a faint blue light, its tongue flicking dangerously. The snake's shattered head had somehow regenerated; aside from the fact that it hadn't fully healed and only half a sharp horn remained, it showed no signs of injury.

Looking incredulously at the wolf king who had been sent flying, Lehei stretched his body, still unable to believe that he had actually used his fragile tail to withstand an attack that even his hardest horns couldn't withstand.

"Is this the effect of the Magic Furnace that Father mentioned? It's amazing! I just wanted to become stronger, and I actually became stronger instantly."

The wolf king, sent flying, leaped up, ready to launch another attack. But suddenly, a somewhat ethereal mask of greed emerged from his body, silently disintegrating into a cluster of light points that covered every corner of the wolf king's body. Covered by these light points, the wolf king's movements abruptly froze, then he immediately moved again, uttering the same words as the demon in the distant valley: "Game change, round two begins."

Le Hei stared intently at the smoke trail created by the wolf king, not daring to relax for a moment. Although he had successfully knocked the wolf king away, the sense of danger surrounding him had not diminished in the slightest; in fact, it had just intensified.

A dark figure slowly emerged from the smoke. The wolf king seemed to have lost its previous madness and savagery; its gait was elegant, reminiscent of certain felines.

The wolf king's eyes became calm, as if he was no longer the tyrannical monster, but rather a hidden mastermind.

"Interesting. What is this? An ability? A forbidden technique? An artifact effect? ​​It can actually increase your strength by so much."

Before Lehei could answer, the Wolf King continued speaking on his own.

"But it doesn't matter anymore. No matter what your abilities are, it can't change the fact that you are destined to fail."

With each word he uttered, the Wolf King's body grew several sizes larger. In the time it took to utter two sentences, the Wolf King's body had more than doubled in size, and his demonic power had also more than doubled.

"I will leave you with a complete corpse, so that you may be able to watch me kill the girl you desperately protected and take what should belong to me from her body through the eyes of your own dead body."
