A strange blood-red mist had engulfed the purple mountains.

A female wolf wrapped in a venomous blood-red shroud was traveling across the peaks rapidly.

As it was sprinting, red lightning strikes fell on the mountains it passed and left behind clouds of poisonous insects.

The insects sucked the life of every living creature in the area dry. The mountains were home to hundreds of bird species. The she-wolf had brought a terrifying plague to the mountains along its trail.

The poisonous insects fed on the living creatures in a frenzy. The plants wilted and the animals were turned into bones. The whole place turned gray, as if it had just gone through a terrifying disaster.

The fortress on Bo City’s Snowy Peak Mountain...

The Battlemages were overwhelmed with fear after witnessing the terrifying sight from the top of the fortress, their eyes wide.

This was a Ruler-level creature!

Just a moment ago, the sky was clear and the mountains were pretty, but every living thing had wilted away as the rivers of the mountains were filled with blood under the dull sky.

They could not imagine what would happen if the she-wolf intruded upon a populated city. How terrifying would that be?

The fortress of Bo City was built between two magnificent mountains. Barbed fences were set up over seven kilometers to prevent demon creatures from entering the safe zone.

Could the barbed fences possibly stop the she-wolf Ruler that was able to jump between mountains?

The blood-red mist and clouds of venomous insects were approaching like a storm. The fortress of Bo City was as sturdy as a mountain wall, but it did not give the Battlemages any sense of security.

“She’s here!” the Lieutenant General stationed at the fortress shouted.

She had come, and she was far scarier than he had expected.

The morale of the Battlemages was crushed when they saw the deadly mist and venomous insects the Ruler-level creature had brought with it.

“General Nan, our Wizard Bird Hunter Group is the cause of this. We will bear full responsibility. Please protect the people at all costs so Bo City won’t suffer another calamity,” the leader of the Wizard Bird Hunter Group, Zhou Yuan, spoke up.

General Nan did not reply, still frowning.

The Ruler-level female wolf was right in front of the fortress!

She did not jump over the artificial barrier, even though it would not be that effective at stopping her. She simply stood on the path leading to the fortress.

She was fearless!

She seemed to think it would not take a long time to destroy the human fortress before continuing on her way.

—

A man in plain clothes was pushed forward from the Wizard Bird Hunter Group on the fortress.

His hands were tied. He was escorted by two Hunters of the Wizard Bird Hunter Group.

Thick vines flew forward and built a bridge to the ground.

The two Hunters escorted the man to the entrance of the fortress where the female wolf could see them clearly.

The female wolf had terrifying eyes. The deadly blood-red mist was leaking out between her fangs as she was breathing. The venomous insects were scattered around her in the sky. It felt like the wolf had brought an army to the fortress, even though she was alone!

“He...he’s the one who stole your pups!”

“Here are your children. We didn’t hurt them. We gave them...the best meat and fed them goat milk...” the two Hunters who were escorting the man spoke up in trembling voices.

The Hunters knew a Ruler-level creature had the same level of intelligence as a human.

Even though their actions were ridiculous, behind the fortress stood a peaceful city that had barely recovered from a great calamity in recent years. They had to do everything they could to pacify the female wolf!

Five wolf pups jumped down from the fortress. Each of them were as large as normal adult wolves.

When the five wolf pups were released and returned to the female wolf, a few of them howled and complained to their mother. Two of them did not forget to turn to the fortress full of Battlemages and howl angrily at them.

A Ruler-level wolf shrouded in a deadly mist and surrounded by venomous insects.

A fortress full of intimidated soldiers.

A man in his thirties kneeling on the ground with his hands tied on his back. The man was also a member of the Wizard Bird Hunter Group!

There was an unwritten rule among Hunters. They were not allowed to kidnap the young of demon creatures while their mother was still alive, nor were they allowed to bring the baby creatures back to a city!

Such deeds would result in unimaginable disasters to the locals, as the mothers of the creatures were typically vengeful, especially the wolf species!

The leader of the Wizard Bird Hunter Group, Zhou Yuan, was a rational man. They had chosen to leave without harming the wolf pups after killing the male Ruler-level wolf.

However, he did not expect someone else in his Hunter Group would lose his mind to greed and kidnap the wolf pups without him knowing!

The wolf pups had to be alive to be valuable, but the female wolf could easily track their scent trail back to the city!

It would be disastrous once she arrived at the city!

“We don’t have a choice. It’s the only option we have. Let’s hope this will pacify the female wolf,” Zhou Yuan muttered under his breath.

They were not abandoning their member and sacrificing him to the she-wolf to ask for her forgiveness because they were merciless. It was because if they failed to calm the anger of the Ruler-level creature, the city behind them would be flowing with blood again!

It had only been a Darkwing Wolf back then, but it had been enough to bring a blood bath to Bo City. The mother wolf was a hundred times stronger than the Darkwing Wolf. Bo City would not stand a chance.

The Wizard Bird Hunter Group had made a huge mistake! They had to ask the Ruler-level creature for forgiveness!

“Please forgive me! Please!”

“Please spare my life!”

The Hunter whose hands were tied was facing the mother wolf alone.

The savage and fierce Ruler-level creature was less than twenty meters from him. He felt like his heart was being torn to pieces. He only had a single thought in his mind: begging for his life!

“Look, they are unharmed… I didn’t do anything to them,” the Hunter begged.

The female wolf went up to the Hunter and sniffed at him. She seemed to be confirming whether the man was the one who had kidnapped her children.

After getting her answer, her eyes glittered coldly as she growled at her children.

The five wolf pups immediately lunged at the Hunter!

They bit his throat!

They tore off his limbs!

They tore his chest open!

They dismembered his body and drank his blood!

The five wolf pups ate the Hunter in front of the thousands of Mages on the fortress!

Many people turned their heads away. Anyone would find the sight unpleasant.

However, they did not dare show any signs of anger. What value was their dignity when they stood in front of the Ruler-level wolf?

“Please forgive us!” Zhou Yuan asked once again.

“Hear me...” a strange voice suddenly came from the mother wolf.

The people on the fortress were astounded. Was the mother wolf able to speak the human language?
