Chapter 722: Chapter 12: Wolf King (3)

It was planning to force a breakout.

But the moment it moved, Blake fired a precision shot that landed right in front of it.

The Wolf King shuddered and stopped in its tracks.

Before long, Shen Xin arrived, gun in hand.

The scene was already under control. That’s when he saw the injured Wolf King.

"You’re one tough bastard, daring to take on a gray wolf!" Shen Xin said in disbelief, stroking Tian Kui’s head.

’And you actually won.’

Lin Wei kept his rifle aimed at the Wolf King and warned, "Shen Xin, be careful."

Coyotes looked like dogs. They weren’t that scary.

But this thing in front of him was terrifying just to look at.

To be honest, before the operation, Shen Xin had wondered if he could take on the Wolf King with a police baton or something if guns weren’t enough to suppress it.

After all, he’d fought Tiger Stripes and Tian Kui before.

But now, actually standing in front of this beast, all that courage vanished in an instant.

The creature was genuinely huge, its presence utterly intimidating.

Shen Xin glanced over at the eager coyote.

’What a mess.’

But he was already here. Shen Xin composed himself and walked forward.

The Wolf King stared at him without blinking.

Its eyes were cold and indifferent, its brow furrowed. The pupils were constricted, emitting a chilling glint.

And, of course, there were the fangs, as long as a pinky finger.

With such a ferocious appearance, Shen Xin felt it would be extremely risky even to press the muzzle of his gun against his head.

It wasn’t like a coyote; its size was on a whole different level.

If this thing made a last-ditch attack, he would definitely be severely injured.

But as they locked eyes, Shen Xin keenly noticed a slight tremble in the Wolf King’s gaze.

’This thing is smart. It must know what kind of situation it’s in.’

Shen Xin turned and pressed the muzzle of his gun against Tian Kui’s head. Then he pointed at Tian Kui and asked the wolf, "Do you want this to happen to you?"

Tian Kui froze, tilting its head to look at Shen Xin.

[What are you doing? I didn’t do anything to you.]

[Be careful. Don’t let it go off by accident.]

Shen Xin raised his gun. BANG.

The Wolf King flinched violently.

Shen Xin once again aimed the gun at Tian Kui and asked the wolf if it wanted the same.

’I guess this counts as a threat.’

Behind them, the alpha female let out two sharp cries.

He didn’t know what she was saying.

The Wolf King glanced back.

It saw its packmates, trembling in fear.

They weren’t just its kind; they were its family.

Smart as it was, it knew the consequences of resistance.

A few gunshots, and its entire family would be wiped out.

In the silence, the Wolf King turned its head and let out a low growl at Shen Xin.

’It feels like it’s asking what the hell I want.’

Normally, there should be a process of suppressing its wild nature and independent will, of beating it into submission.

But with this creature, Shen Xin didn’t dare tell it to roll over, or to slap it on the head if it disobeyed.

’There’s really no need to take the risk. Bullying the coyote is enough.’

Thinking of this, Shen Xin turned and told Lin Wei to bring over the model of the wolf-dog.

’Just a meet-and-greet, the usual routine to ask for information.’

Lin Wei didn’t ask why, just turned and went to get the model.

A short while later, the model was delivered.

Shen Xin placed it in front of him. Regardless of whether the wolf could understand, he pointed to the model to show what he was looking for.

As expected, it didn’t understand.

The Wolf King stared at the model before it, completely bewildered.

Shen Xin suddenly had an idea and waved the male coyote over.

’You’re both wolves, more or less. You should be able to communicate with each other.’

He slapped the coyote on the head, signaling for it to convey his meaning to the Wolf King.

The coyote, resentful, started yapping at the Wolf King.

In response, the Wolf King immediately took on a ferocious look and bared its fangs at him.

"Get to the point," Shen Xin said, delivering another slap.

’This guy is probably gloating, just running his mouth. I don’t even need to hear his thoughts to guess what he’s yelling about.’

The male coyote flinched, and its tone changed.

It even barked twice at the model.

The Wolf King looked at the model again. This time, it seemed he understood Shen Xin’s intention.

Silently studying the model for a long while, he suddenly cried out and slowly backed away. But instead of returning to his family, he moved to the side, toward the encirclement, and cried out to Shen Xin again.

Shen Xin’s heart skipped a beat. Its reaction... it felt like...

’Don’t tell me he actually knows this wolf-dog!’

Shen Xin quickly gestured for his team to open up the encirclement.

Sure enough, the Wolf King turned and bolted out.

Its family tried to follow, but it quickly barked two sharp commands, and the gray wolves all stopped.

Only then did it look back at Shen Xin and cry out once more.

’It even plays by the rules. It’s leaving me hostages.’
