Please be my partner.

One wolf howl after another rang out in the forest.

A wolf king, who was as tall as a man, with a snow-white body and a tuft of silver hair between his eyebrows, called upon the wolf pack hunting in the mountains and forests at Mellen's request.

When the sound of the wolf's howling spread farther and farther, the wolf king came over and leaned forward slightly.

Melen stroked the wolf king's head with amusement. The wolf king narrowed his eyes slightly and his tail occasionally twitched.

Not far away, the Wolf King's guards were standing guard all around, but they kept looking in this direction with envious expressions.

Soon, the first group of more than ten wolves arrived. When they saw Mellen, their eyes lit up and they immediately transformed from wolves into dogs, looking like they wanted to pounce on him and ask for a pat.

The wolf king's cold eyes swept over, and the wolves immediately whimpered and dared not move.

The wolf king growled, then rested his head in Mellen's arms, declaring his sovereignty in this way.

Melen rubbed the wolf king's head, then patted him gently, and the wolf king reluctantly stood up.

He waved to one of the gray wolves. The gray wolf looked at the wolf king fearfully. When the latter did not respond, he carefully came to Mellen.

Melen first gently stroked the gray wolf's head to calm its emotions, then drew the blood of a lion-like extraordinary life from the wolf-shaped pendant and injected it into the gray wolf's body.

Although the lion whose blood was extracted by Melen had just come into contact with the extraordinary and had not yet awakened to the first level, it was much stronger than the gray wolf.

After being injected with extraordinary blood, the gray wolf didn't feel anything at first, but after just a few minutes, the skin under its fur began to turn red visibly. It stuck out its tongue and kept gasping, and each breath was scorching hot.

The gray wolf fell to the ground in pain, cracks slowly appeared on its body, and the blood in its body began to seep out, dyeing its hair bright red.

At the same time, the gray wolf's breath became weaker and weaker.

When the wolves saw the changes in the gray wolf, they all showed fear. They didn't understand what was happening, but they understood that the gray wolf was about to die.

The wolf king was calm and indifferent. With his wisdom as an extraordinary life form, he naturally understood what happened to the gray wolf. However, nature is such a world where the strong prey on the weak. If you don't become a hunter, you can only become a prey, that's all.

Mellen frowned slightly and gently stroked the gray wolf's hot skin. A wisp of spiritual energy flowed into the latter's body through his fingertips.

The wolf king seemed to sense something, and his eyes suddenly lit up, revealing greed and desire.

Of course, these greedy and longing desires were not directed at Mellen, but at... the gray wolf.

The wolf king could feel that the gray wolf contained an extremely tempting energy in its body, which made it want to eat the latter alive immediately.

However, after seeing Melen, the Wolf King suppressed these desires and waited quietly.

Melen guessed correctly. Spiritual energy was indeed the key to blood fusion. It acted as a lubricant, allowing the originally incompatible and even conflicting bloodlines to slowly merge together.

With the addition of spiritual energy, the gray wolf's breath quickly stabilized. The blood on its hair dried and fell off due to the high temperature, revealing a gray color mixed with a faint red.

Immediately afterwards, the gray wolf's aura began to rise rapidly, and it suddenly opened its eyes, and its originally black pupils turned into a fiery red.

"Ouch!~"

The gray wolf was extremely excited and howled to the sky, with sparks coming out of its mouth.

The other wolves seemed to want to follow suit, but the next moment they were swept by a heavy pressure, and they whimpered and dared not make a sound.

The gray wolf seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Turning his head, he saw the wolf king staring at him coldly, as if he was looking at a dead wolf.

"Gah..."

The gray wolf's last howl was distorted. He immediately lowered his head and came to the wolf king humbly to express his submission.

Seeing this, the coldness in the wolf king's eyes melted a little.

Ignoring the wolf king's training of his wolf pack, Melen began to sum up his previous gains.

Of course, we cannot gain any practical experience from this example. It is just a brief record of the extraordinary bloodline used by the gray-haired wolf and the amount of spiritual energy consumed.

Then the next one.

With the gray wolf's previous experience as a lesson, the wolves were all eager to respond to Mellen's call.

Melen no longer selected ordinary wolves like the gray wolf, but targeted ones, such as strong ones, thin ones, those with some extraordinary signs, those with extraordinary powers, and those who had completed the first level of awakening.

Fortunately, this wolf pack is quite large, and all kinds of wolves can be found.

During this period, not all wolves were successful, and there were also cases of failure.

Of course, most of the failures were due to the intense conflict between the body and the injected extraordinary bloodline. Melen realized that in order to successfully merge, he would have to pay a lot of spiritual energy, so he gave up on his own initiative.

A small number died from the fusion of two or three bloodlines.

Even so, three days later, there were more than twenty extraordinary wolves in the wolf pack.

Since then, the extraordinary blood that Melen had extracted along the way has been exhausted, and even the spiritual energy he harvested has been almost consumed.

Wolves are unruly creatures, especially after they gain power. The succession of the old and new wolf kings has always been determined through fighting, and there is no so-called normal transition.

The Wolf King himself is a second-level peak extraordinary life form, with pure blood and powerful talents. For now, it is no problem for him to suppress the current wolf pack.

However, Melen didn't want to see the wolf pack fall apart because of his actions. Besides, he was conducting experiments here, and the wolf king supported him without hesitation. There was no way he would let the wolf king suffer.

So when he left, he injected all the remaining spiritual energy he had into the wolf king's body.

I believe that with these helps, it will be just a matter of time before the peak second-level wolf king is promoted to the third level.

Before leaving, Melen did not tell the wolf king not to eat humans or anything like that. After all, in this land, humans are the top predators, and wolves would not provoke humans at will, so as not to bring about the disaster of extinction of the clan.

The wolf king quietly watched Mellen go away, then turned around to look at the extraordinary wolf pack gathered behind him, with cruelty and tyranny flashing in his eyes. Now it was time for him, the wolf king, to train the wolf pack.

A few days later, Melen arrived in the city of West Gamali.

This city, which originally had hundreds of thousands of people living there, became much more depressed after the attack by the Dream Fox. The original casualties were only one aspect; the subsequent large-scale population migration was the key.

Melen found a hotel that looked pretty good. The manager was very enthusiastic when he saw Melen, a outsider.

After arranging accommodation and ordering some local specialties, Melen also started chatting with the store manager with great interest.

Soon, the topic turned to the Dream Fox.

"Dream Fox!"

The store manager looked at Mellen and asked, "Are you here to become a fox hunter too?"

"Fox hunter?" Mellen shook his head in confusion and said, "I'm just asking casually. Fox hunter refers to someone who hunts dream foxes?"

The store manager nodded and said with emotion, "Ever since the Dream Fox attack more than three months ago, the entire city of West Gamali has been shrouded in a sad atmosphere."

"Since then, an organization called the Fox Hunter Alliance has been established in the city. The Transcendents whose loved ones have died are the main force of this alliance, and ordinary people like us also donate money and materials to support this alliance."

"Outside transcendents, as long as they aim to hunt Dream Foxes and pass a simple assessment, they can join the Fox Hunter Alliance and become a Fox Hunter."

Seeing Mellen's thoughtful expression, the store manager quickly said, "Young man, don't underestimate the identity of a fox hunter. Once you join the Fox Hunter Alliance and become a certified fox hunter, in addition to being able to obtain the latest information about the Dream Fox, you will also receive many benefits."

"After all, this is an extraordinary organization that all of us residents of West Gamali City fully support!"

Chapter 166 Information obtained

"Fox Hunter Alliance...?"

After the store manager left, Mellen ate the food while thinking about his next move.

There is no doubt that he cannot stay in Xigamali City for too long, so joining the Fox Hunter Alliance and obtaining relevant information about the Dream Fox from it should be the fastest way.

Seeing that the sky outside was beginning to darken, Melen gave up the idea of going out immediately and went back to his room to rest after dinner.

Although Mellen can survive without food or sleep for a long time with his current strength, he has never had the habit of abusing himself.

The next morning, after washing up, Melen left the hotel.

The Fox Hunters Alliance is quite famous in West Gamali City, and its headquarters can be found out with a little inquiry.

When he arrived and looked at the scene in front of him, Melen was a little surprised.

It was not as he had imagined. Everyone looked solemn, even bitter and resentful. Instead, it seemed quite lively.

After learning a little more about it, Melen discovered that although the so-called Fox Hunter Alliance still regarded hunting the Dream Fox as its highest goal, its actual functions were almost the same as those of an ordinary adventurer's guild.

But think about it, hunting the Dream Fox is only temporary after all. If the people who established the Fox Hunter Alliance had some brains, it would not be difficult to take this opportunity to stabilize this temporary force.

With the previous experience of the Dream Fox attack, the residents of West Gamali City should also be happy to have such an extraordinary organization that can protect the city.

Mellen came to the reception desk and explained his purpose. The receptionist directly handed him a simple information form, which required him to fill in his name, background, occupation level, etc. It was basically similar to the ones used by adventurer guilds in various places.

After completing the application, you can go to the next room and wait. Special personnel will come to conduct the assessment. As long as you can demonstrate the strength corresponding to your professional level, you can become an official member of the Fox Hunter Alliance.

Of course, the minimum standard for this formal membership is first order.

When the receptionist saw that Mellen had entered the third level in his occupational rank, his expression suddenly changed. He said respectfully, "Please wait a moment. I will go and ask the Vice President for instructions."

Mellen nodded casually and was led by the receptionist to a small room next door.

After settling Mellen, the receptionist trotted all the way to the vice president's office. After getting permission, he pushed the door open and saw that in addition to the vice president, there was another person in the office. Judging from their casual demeanor, they should be strong people of the same level as the vice president.

The receptionist did not dare to delay and respectfully handed Mellen's application form to the vice president.

Aleku, the vice president of the Fox Hunter Alliance, took a look at it and showed surprise. He first waved his hand to let the receptionist go, then said to another person in the room, "A third-level expert actually wants to join the alliance."

Aleku's friend, Beru, laughed and said, "Doesn't this just show how strong the alliance is?"

Aleku shook his head and said, "How can this be called growth? Most of the people who join are attracted by the information about the Dream Fox. They have no sense of belonging to the Alliance at all. They can't be considered the strength of the Alliance at all."

"The Fox Hunters Alliance still lacks many things if it wants to survive for a long time."

Then, he changed the subject and said, "I'm going to see if this new member has the real stuff."

Beru nodded and said, "Let's go. I'll go with you."

After a while, the two of them went to the room where Mellen was.

The moment they pushed the door open, Mellen turned his head, and at the same time, a spiritual pressure that was heavier than that of an ordinary third-level professional spread out slightly.

Aleku and Beru felt the pressure and their expressions changed at the same time.

Seeing this, Mellen restrained his strength. He did this only to avoid the possible tedious assessment, not to provoke, so he naturally stopped while he was ahead.

Aleku and Beru also understood what Melen meant, but the strong naturally have privileges, so they didn't take it seriously.

Aleku, the Vice President of the Fox Hunters Alliance, immediately said enthusiastically, "Heroes truly emerge from youth. It's a blessing for the Fox Hunters Alliance to have such a young, Level 3 expert join us."

After exchanging pleasantries, Aleku introduced himself, "Hello, I'm Aleku, the vice president of the Fox Hunters Alliance, and this is my good friend Belu."

Melen said: "My name is Melen, and I am a traveler."

After hearing Melen's self-introduction, Aleku immediately understood and said, "So, you joined the Fox Hunter Alliance because you are interested in the Dream Fox and want information and intelligence about it, right?"

Mellen nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, that's why I came here."

Aleku nodded and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. As long as you target the Dream Fox, we, the Fox Hunter Alliance, will recognize you as a Fox Hunter."

When saying this, Aleku's voice was a little low, and it seemed to contain an unbreakable bone-chilling coldness.

Belu sighed and said, "The disaster in West Gamali City may not have been caused intentionally by the Dream Fox. This can be seen from the fact that it has been trying its best to avoid further conflict with us..."

"Hmph!" Aleku snorted coldly, interrupting Beru and saying, "That beast is just scared! Besides, even if there's something hidden, it can't deny the fact that it caused tens of thousands of casualties!"

Melen agreed with this statement.

It is said that "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha instantly".

But, you, a criminal, say you've cut ties with the past, and we, the victims, are supposed to pretend nothing ever happened?!

Do not!

If Buddha wants to forgive you, that is Buddha’s business. What we need to do is to send you to see Buddha.

Beru sighed, knowing that he couldn't convince his good friend, so he said no more.

Aleku looked at Melen and said eagerly, "Mr. Melen, I'll have someone compile the latest information about the Dream Fox and present it to you. Let's discuss the more specific arrangements first."

"Since you're aiming to become the Dream Fox, would you like me to introduce you to a suitable team? If so, I'd need your basic class information, or at least your ability preferences."

"Of course, you can choose to act alone, but I have to remind you that the Dream Fox is powerful and cunning, possessing strength close to the limit of the third level. It is far beyond the ability of an ordinary third level to deal with independently."

Aleku spoke sincerely. To him, any strong man who hunted the Dream Fox was his half-brother.

Mellen shook his head and said, "I'm more accustomed to acting alone."

Aleku nodded. He had seen many similar situations. After all, the strong, especially those who were promoted to the third level in the current era, all had their own pride.

Next, the three of them began to exchange pleasantries. Of course, it was basically Aleku and Melen who were talking about the Dream Fox, and Beru would occasionally interject.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door, and a civilian staff member of the alliance came in and respectfully handed over a file bag.

After Aleku took the document bag, he handed it directly to Melen and said, "This is the latest information compiled by the Alliance regarding the Dream Fox."

Mellen nodded and said, "Thank you."
