Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 292 - 189: The Secret of the Sea Disaster and the New Wolf King
Their Beastman mates shielded them, glaring furiously at the wildly laughing Gray Wolf City Lord. Veins bulged all over their bodies, making them look like enraged Fierce Beasts. "If you dare harm our cubs, we’ll rip your throat out even if it costs us our lives!"
"Heh, what bold words. Don’t you see who has taken this city? This city will ultimately be mine for the taking!"
The Gray Wolf Clan Leader’s expression darkened. He instantly appeared behind the Beastman, his bestial claws piercing through the man’s chest. He ripped out the bloody heart, which was still beating in his filth-covered hand. "See that? This is what happens when you resist me! There’s only one path for those who dare defy me: death!"
The crowd instantly fell back in a panic, their faces draining of color. "He’s... he’s a Seventh Rank Beastman!"
"I’d like to see who else dares to resist me! Men, kill those cubs too. Let’s give this bunch of ignorant fools a good show!"
The little cubs shrieked in terror, huddling together and trying to run, but their legs were bound by vines, leaving them completely immobile.
A lion cub was dragged several meters across the ground by a Wolf Beast. He struggled desperately, his tear-filled eyes looking toward a spot in the crowd as he cried for help. "Waaaah, Papa, save me! Waaaah... I don’t want to die, I’m not even grown up yet..."
He screamed for help until his voice was hoarse, but no one could save him. Even the father he had always seen as a hero could only roar in despair.
The lion cub desperately clawed at the ground, his breaking nails staining with blood. Like a vengeful ghost, he scraped ten scarlet streaks of varying lengths into the dirt.
Just as the Gray Wolf’s claws were about to pierce his body, another arm, crackling with the power of lightning, viciously slammed the Gray Wolf into the ground.
BOOM! The newcomer’s strength was astounding; the entire ground trembled from the impact.
He gripped the Gray Wolf’s snarling, blood-spewing head and smashed it viciously into the marble of the square, creating a deep crater. The foundation in that spot instantly shattered into pieces.
"Whose city is this? Do you know? How dare you lay a hand on this city?" Ling Hong stared down at the mangled, snarling face beneath his hand. His jade-green eyes burned with killing intent, and his sharp nails looked ready to rip the man’s skull open.
The sharp edges of the shattered stones dug cruelly into the flesh of his back. The Gray Wolf City Lord’s muscles spasmed violently from the pain. "BLEGH—" He vomited mouthful after mouthful of blood.
Ling Hong had dislocated all four of his limbs. They hung limply, leaving him powerless to resist, like a beast led to the slaughter.
"You... you are—" The Gray Wolf’s face was pressed to the ground. His bloodshot, savage eyes swiveled bizarrely toward the arm by his side, staring at the seven bands on the newcomer’s wrist in utter disbelief.
’How could this Wolf Beast become a Seventh Rank Beastman at such a young age? And even though we’re both Seventh Rank, how was I so easily overpowered?!’
But he would never get the chance to ask. With a twist of Ling Hong’s wrist and a sharp CRACK, the Gray Wolf was completely decapitated.
The Beastmen watched this sudden turn of events in utter shock.
Everyone, whether from Gray Wolf City or Beast Gathering City, was so shocked they forgot to breathe.
"He! He killed the City Lord!" a Wolf Beast shouted, finally snapping out of it.
Wolf packs often exhibit a strange phenomenon: the males will devoutly follow the strongest Wolf King, but once that king is replaced, they will unhesitatingly submit to the new one.
And so, a surprising scene unfolded.
Ling Hong had expected a tough fight and had arranged for the Eagle Beasts circling overhead to bring bows and arrows for suppression. But to his surprise, the Beastmen of Moon Wolf City instantly shifted into their bestial forms and prostrated themselves on the ground, expressing their submission to him.
...
When Ling Hong returned to Sheng’an City with the Beastmen, he found that An Jin was gone. After asking Chi Li and the others, he learned that she had left for the deep sea with Gu Yin and Xi.
Although he didn’t know why she had gone to the deep sea, Ling Hong had always trusted her choices. He had considered going with her, but due to his species’ limitations, he couldn’t survive in the deep sea.
’Besides, that Snake Beast is by her side.’ Although Ling Hong disliked him, he still acknowledged his capabilities.
"In that case, we’ll proceed with the rest of the mission according to her plan." ’In her absence, I’ll handle these tedious administrative matters for her.’
...
Meanwhile, An Jin and the others had arrived at the coast. Gazing out at the boundless ocean, they were all struck with a sense of awe.
Many of the rivers on the continent had already frozen over, but the vast, endless ocean surface remained calm, its waters slowly churning. The moment a snowflake landed on the ocean’s surface, it was instantly devoured by the water.
Under the bleak sunlight, shimmering white waves rippled across the vast, calm surface of the sea. No one could possibly imagine that in the next half-month, a colossal sea disaster that would swallow everything was about to occur here.
"Ah Jin, don’t worry." Seeing her staring intently at the sea, Xi was afraid she was developing a fear of the deep ocean. He comforted her in a soft voice, "You have my Shark Pearl inside you, so you can breathe and swim in the sea just like the Merfolk. Just relax."
Gu Yin narrowed his eyes at Xi, then let his gaze fall back on An Jin. He gave a slight curl of his lips. "No wonder. I was just wondering how I was going to get you into the sea. I never expected that his Shark Pearl was with you all along..."
