Arknights: Studying medicine can't save Terra

The black wolf was somewhat dissatisfied with Texas's cooperation:

"You saw me, but you didn't think of resisting, or even have the slightest thought of killing me. Has civilization corrupted you?"

I hope you won't make this trip just a waste of my time.

“Zaruo…”

Texas softly called the beast's name, her expression gradually turning strange: "You'd better not get agitated. Whatever you see, encounter, or experience later, don't do anything out of line, otherwise I won't be able to plead for you."

"Has civilization not only corrupted your will, but also clouded your mind?" Zaro's tail, covered in black mist, flicked impatiently twice.

Texas was somewhat helpless:

“I haven’t forgotten that promise. I was able to survive because of your promise, so I can accept your arrival, but not now.”

"Are you sure you're not mistaken about something?"

Zaro seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, baring his white fangs: "You think you have the right to bargain with me?"

"Don't do that, Zarro, it's for your own good," Texas kindly reminded him.

But her good intentions only made Zaro more irritable and dissatisfied.

He took another step, getting closer and closer to Texas.

He thought that his threatening act would make Texas show hostility and choose to resist or continue to run away.

But Texas remained motionless, showing no intention of even placing her hand on the weapon at her waist.

"What exactly is wrong with you?" Zaro was genuinely bewildered. "Do you really think you can peacefully dissolve our agreement by relying on the negotiation skills you learned from civilization?"

"Don't do this, Zarro, it's for your own good."

Texas gave a warning while winking at Zaro behind him.

Zaro instinctively turned around to look.

This glance not only made Zaro utter the voice of an emperor, but even caused his black fur to stand on end slightly.

One, two, three...

Five enormous beasts, their auras restrained, emerged from the depths of the town, scrutinizing him with a mixture of curiosity and pity.

Besides the giant beasts, Zaro also discovered a group of unusual creatures emerging from various corners of the town, constantly glancing at him with a look that Zaro found somewhat familiar.

He knows these creatures.

An ancient being from those Sarkaz settlements, from that strange group of creatures known as the Shapeshifter Cluster.

Zaro also recognized that look in his eyes.

That was the look of amusement on their faces as they, the wolf lords, selected the fangs and then watched them fight each other.

But now, He has become a source of amusement.

"Why are you all showing up in groups?" Zaro's fur became fluffy, and the black mist swirling around him pulsed uneasily. "What are you trying to do? This is between me and Fang, it's none of your business!"

Yela stroked her chin and nodded:

"This matter really has nothing to do with us. After all, we just came to help. The person in charge is this guy."

As they spoke, Yela stepped aside, and Zilin officially came into Zarro's view.

Zaro instinctively took a step back.

"And who are you? Why does your aura feel so strange? A giant beast? A human?"

A series of questions came out of Zarro's mouth.

"I am Qi Lin."

Qi Lin calmly said, "She's a friend from Texas. I already know about your agreement with her. Why don't we add another clause?"

"Please wait a moment. After I finish dealing with matters in Iberia, I will accompany Texas to Syracuse to keep our appointment. I will work with Texas to fulfill your agreement, how about it?"

"Wait, no, no!" Zaro had no time to care about that damn agreement anymore. He belatedly realized something. "The aura on you... you're that ridiculous holder of power!"

Qi Lin: "..."

Zhalo nervously rubbed his front paws on the ground a couple of times.

He never expected that his visit to find a fang that he had casually placed would provoke that damned being.

Even they, the beast lords, couldn't understand what that thing was. They only knew that it jumped around and treated power like a wholesale toy, giving it to whoever it pleased.

The situation had clearly spiraled out of His control, and Texas's warning was correct!

Zaro's large tail almost instinctively tucked between his two hind legs, but as the Lord of Wolves, he forcibly controlled his tail with his strong willpower.

"Ahem... Gentlemen, I think we need to have a calm and rational discussion."

Zaro tried his best to maintain his dignity as the lord of wolves. To prevent his tail from getting out of control, he even sat down on the ground and forcibly pressed it down.

Qi Lin looked left and right, puzzled, and asked:

"We didn't seem very excited."

Zarro: "...Yes, yes."

It's been so many years, so long that He has forgotten when he last felt this nervous.

Zaro suddenly felt an urge to stick his tongue out to cool down and relieve his emotions.

Even in their beast-lord form, they have no need for sweating or heat dissipation.

But... no matter how out of control the situation gets, we absolutely cannot lose our dignity!

He is the Lord of Wolves!

"Gentlemen, I will seriously consider your requests, but even you who want to disrupt our Wolf Lord's game need to give an explanation."

Zaro lowered his voice as much as possible, squatted on the ground, surrounded by black mist. At first glance, his aura was no less impressive than that of Qi Lin and the other members of the luxurious group.

Only Texas, standing next to Zaro, could clearly see that Zaro's tail was trembling slightly, threatening to go out of control at any moment.

"I'm sorry, this wasn't my arrangement, it was my brother's." Qi Lin's main point was to reason with him. "Once he's done with his work, I'll help you get an explanation from him."

Zarro: !!! !!!

What's wrong with you, girl?

Can't you give me a way out?

Yela and the others stood behind Qi Lin, trying hard to suppress their laughter.

Qi Lin may appear aloof on the outside, but she's actually quite naive inside!

Faced with Zaruo's silence, Qi Lin frowned slightly, interpreting his stunned reaction as dissatisfaction with the answer.

“If you insist on getting an explanation right now, I can only give it a try,” she said softly.

“Wh...what attempt?” Zaro almost couldn’t control the tremor in his voice.

"Actually, I could sense that there was an elder with me."

Qi Lin looked past Zhalo: "If it were you, you could also give an explanation on behalf of Qi Yan."

A bone-chilling cold suddenly crept up Zhalo's back.

He turned around somewhat stiffly and saw a white wolf silently crouching beside Texas, its golden eyes, as pure as the first rays of dawn, calmly locking onto him.

"Awoooooo... What the hell are you?!"

Zaro's frightened barking echoed in everyone's ears.

Chapter 1118 Zaruo: Would you believe me if I said I'm actually a Northeast Wolf?

Zaro could no longer maintain his composure. His buttocks bounced off the ground as if he had been kicked, and his limbs thrashed about in a frantic manner, trying to get away from Qi.

His tail ultimately couldn't escape the fate of going out of control, shrinking tightly between his two hind legs. His back arched with tension, and the black mist swirling around his body suddenly expanded outward before quickly retreating back to cling to his body.

Everyone present stared at Zaro in astonishment, not understanding why He would react so dramatically to Qi's appearance.

Even Qi was visibly stunned for a moment.

He bowed his head and carefully examined himself, confirming that this transformation was normal, with no missing limbs or revealing his true form.

Moreover, even if He made such a mistake, there's no reason why a beast lord should be so terrified.

Zaro was completely terrified, his fur standing on end, as he growled hoarsely:

"You're already dead! How did you manage to escape death? Don't come near me, you monster!"

Qi's eyes narrowed.

Qi Lin and the others also showed unfriendly expressions.

Is this wolf lord really unable to see the situation clearly?

In this situation, he still dared to make provocative remarks!

Zaro, however, seemed to have lost his mind from fright, and continued to retreat, growling wildly:

“You are not our compatriot, nor are you a colossal beast born from the primordial chaos. You are already dead. What right do you have to continue living in this world in our guise?”

Qi's large tail twitched twice in confusion, and he asked in return:

"You beast lords are also dead beasts, why do you accuse me like this?"

"There's no information about you in the Originium!" Zaro's voice was hoarse. "What do you exist on?"

"By the grace of my people," Qi replied.

"You are lying!"

Zhalo tucked his tail between his legs, baring his teeth and making threatening growls in his throat: "Your soul is shattered, yet so pure. You are a beast that should have died completely. You are a lord who should not exist!"

Qi lifted his front paw slightly.

He had an urge to slap this guy who couldn't speak properly.

This action caused Zaro's fur to stand on end even more, making the wolf appear several sizes larger than before.

"Hehe, it seems I arrived at just the right time."

As Zaro was shouting himself hoarse, Ducarre arrived at the scene unhurriedly.

He gracefully adjusted his exquisite suit and said with a smile, "Is this just a snack before we watch Qi Yan make his move?"

“Shut up, you filthy bloodworm!” Zaro glared fiercely at Ducarre with his bloodshot eyes. “You have no right to speak here!”

Ducarre: "..."

He thought that since everyone had surrounded the beast lord, they had already gained an absolute advantage, so he was just showing off a little to elevate his own status.

The reality turned out to be completely different from what he had imagined.

Seeing everyone looking over, Ducarre was clearly losing face.

"And who do you think you are?" Ducarre retorted sternly. "A savage beast roaming the wilderness, has the hunt of the Tikkaz been absent from you for too long?"

Do you want to fight?

Zhalo was seething with anger and had nowhere to vent it.

“Sure, are you going to take on all of us one-on-one?” Ducarre spread his hands towards the crowd around him.

Qi Lin hesitated for a moment, then reminded her:

“We have no intention of clashing with this beast master; on the contrary, we are trying to persuade Him to make our actions easier.”

Ducarre: "...I'll listen to my senior!"

As the former ruler of the royal court, having fought Qi Yan head-on for three hundred rounds and witnessed many great scenes, Sarkaz decisively seized this opportunity to slip away.

With no outlet for his emotions, Zaro became even more agitated and began brainstorming solutions to get out of his predicament.

While Zaro and Ducarre were exchanging heated words, Qi was also quietly reflecting on Zaro's remarks.

He didn't come up with an answer, but he had a vague guess.

The source of everything may lie with Qi Yan.

His existence may be similar to that of the Witch King.

A person who should not exist, and a god who should not exist.
