Chapter 88: Chapter 86: Giant Wolf

This was Liang Zhou’s ability, the Giant Wolf Fenrir.

Pei Xianjue watched the Giant Wolf pounce on the Horse-faced Monster, blurting out in shock, "Hero?!"

A suspicious look crossed Feng Ling’s face. ’Why is Pei Xianjue so shocked? What is she surprised about?’

But now was not a good time to ask.

Because the Horse-faced Monster roared again and threw its chain, the iron hook shooting straight for the Giant Wolf!

The Giant Wolf moved like lightning. The moment the chain was thrown, its body was already leaping into the air. With a thunderous BAM, the wolf tackled the Horse-faced Monster to the ground!

The two were surprisingly similar in size.

With its fur bristled, the Giant Wolf even appeared larger than the Horse-faced Monster!

In this situation, it was difficult for the others to help. Getting too close meant risking getting their bones crushed.

The Horse-faced Monster raised a hand and straightened its other chain, blocking the wolf’s snapping jaws.

The Giant Wolf’s fangs caught in the links of the chain. It furiously shook its head, and in breaking free, it also ripped out one of its own teeth! It then let out a furious roar and kicked hard with its hind legs!

Its sharp hind claws tore open the Horse-faced Monster’s belly, spilling blood everywhere!

The Horse-faced Monster braced itself with one hand and struck at the Giant Wolf with the elbow of its other arm, only for the Giant Wolf to bite down hard on it—in a pure contest of physical bodies, a humanoid monster was at a disadvantage once it lost its weapon.

Whether it was the biting power of its jaws or the sharpness of its claws, the Giant Wolf clearly had the upper hand.

Unless this Horse-faced Monster had some other ability.

Feng Ling stood a short distance away, observing carefully as the two beasts fought. They both unleashed astonishing power, even breaking two nearby pine trees in their struggle.

She silently came to a conclusion: ’Other than its large size and great strength, the Horse-faced Monster has no other abilities.’

Under the Giant Wolf’s relentless attacks, the long horse face was covered in wounds, one of its eyes was blinded, and the gash on its stomach had become its greatest weakness.

The Giant Wolf lunged and bit down again, its fangs piercing the Horse-faced Monster’s gut!

The Giant Wolf shook its head, pulling a bloody string of something from the monster’s belly. The Horse-faced Monster let out a long, mournful cry as its massive body crashed to the ground.

The battle was over.

The Giant Wolf stepped onto the Horse-faced Monster’s enormous corpse. As if performing a ritual, it lowered its head, bit through its opponent’s neck, and let the blood gush out, covering its entire body.

As Feng Ling was admiring the scene, she heard Pei Xianjue ask Bao Changzhi in an irritated tone, "Baozi! What’s going on?! When did Hero upgrade his Card?"

"I don’t know. I was shocked too," Baozi said, shaking his head. He truly didn’t seem to know anything.

"What’s wrong?" Feng Ling asked them.

Pei Xianjue looked at her, her expression complicated, as if she didn’t quite know how to explain.

Baozi tried to placate her. "It’s actually a good thing, Young Miss. If Hero hadn’t upgraded his Card, we would have been in real trouble just now."

Feng Ling understood. She asked the two of them, "When he turned into a wolf before, he wasn’t this big, was he?"

Pei Xianjue nodded, her expression grim.

Feng Ling thought for a moment, then turned to ask Huangfu Miaomiao, "What Level do you see him as?"

Huangfu Miaomiao paused, taken aback for a second, and looked toward the Giant Wolf and the Horse-faced Monster in the distance.

Unsure which one Feng Ling was asking about, she answered hesitantly, "That wolf is a Boss Level entity."

"A Boss Level corresponds to an A-level Card Holder," Feng Ling recalled Su Yuqing saying. "Possessing any Card makes you C-level. Possessing a High-level Card and completing one digestion makes you B-level. Possessing a High-level Card and completing three or more digestions makes you A-level."

Just then, Liang Zhou slowly walked toward them.

He was still in his Giant Wolf form, but he wasn’t as large anymore, gradually shrinking to the size of an adult human before stopping.

"I have indeed digested no less than three times..." Human words emerged slowly from the wolf’s mouth, the voice considerably deeper, as if run through a voice changer.

Pei Xianjue stepped forward, her face flushed with anger, and questioned him, "Liang Zhou! I’m the one who paid for your Card, and the Cards you digested were gifts from me! I only had you digest one. How did you reach A-level?!"

The fact that she used his full name showed just how furious Pei Xianjue truly was.

The Giant Wolf licked the blood from its lips and replied unhurriedly, "Young Miss, I am very grateful to you. Without your support, I would never have owned a Card, nor would I have grown to A-level. That’s why I was willing to follow you into the Maze. Perhaps you only saw me as a hired thug you spent money on, but I have always followed you with the intention of repaying your kindness."

Pei Xianjue took a slow breath, trying to control her temper. "Hero, you and Baozi have been with me for seven years. I’ve treated you well all this time, haven’t I? I’m not blaming you right now, I just want to know—where, exactly, did you get those Cards from?!... Damn it!"

She couldn’t help but curse, her voice rising to an unbearable pitch. "Digesting Cards randomly can get you killed! Tell me, what’s your Pollution Value right now?!"

"Young Miss, you don’t need to worry about my Pollution Value..." The Gray Wolf sat down elegantly, its golden eyes fixed on Pei Xianjue. "And I don’t believe the Pollution Value has affected me at all. I am perfectly lucid right now, Young Miss."

Pei Xianjue sensed his underlying meaning and asked with a frown, "What are you trying to say?"

"Two days ago, I received an employment offer from the Supervision Bureau. Although the specific position hasn’t been decided yet, it’s confirmed that I will be appointed as a Deputy Captain of one of the branches," Liang Zhou said. "Therefore, from now on, I demand that everyone follow my command. Conquering this Maze will be recorded as a merit on my record. I believe... I should have that authority."

Pei Xianjue was utterly speechless. She couldn’t understand. Liang Zhou had said so much, done so much behind her back, just to obtain... the mere command of the team?

No...

’Perhaps I shouldn’t call it ’mere.’’

’Something so easily obtainable for me was perhaps something he had craved for a very long time.’

Pei Xianjue couldn’t describe her current feelings. She didn’t know whether to call Liang Zhou arrogant and conceited or overly humble and self-deprecating.

Just then, Liang Zhou spoke again. "The world has changed, Young Miss. Your family may be a cut above in terms of money and power, but that might not be the case in the future. The social classes will be reshuffled. Cards are everything... Just like right now. I’m A-level, and you... are B-level."

Baozi cautiously watched them both. This was the kind of conversation that could easily get out of hand. He quietly activated Lucky Heaven’s Spirit Healing Skill while also playing the peacemaker. "Hero, the Young Miss has always been good to us. Don’t do anything rash."

"How could I do anything rash? I’ve... always been doing my best to repay the Young Miss’s kindness..." Liang Zhou looked at Pei Xianjue. "So make your choice. Will you conquer the Maze with me, or with those Alien Species? I must remind you, Young Miss, besides me, no one here is a match for that kind of monster."
