I Have Unlimited Dantians

Chapter 129: The Wind Wolf Pack

"Haha, Young Master, you’re overthinking it. If a Beast Tamer wants to tame a Demon Beast, they have to defeat it first. That Tie Lan is only at the Peak of the Body Emergence Realm. Forget the Wind Wolf King—she can’t even beat a single Ordinary Wind Wolf. Tame it? Hah! The moment she reveals her Beast Tamer talent, the pack will probably tear her to shreds!"

Jiangg Youx laughed.

A Beast Tamer’s Beast Taming Qi gives them an absolute advantage against Demon Beasts, but everything has its pros and cons, like two sides of a coin. If the Beast Taming Qi fails to tame a Demon Beast, it will trigger a backlash, and the beast will want nothing more than to kill the tamer on the spot.

If they knew Tie Lan was a Beast Tamer, the Wind Wolf Pack would probably charge over without hesitation and tear her to pieces!

Beast Taming Qi can suppress Demon Beasts, and Demon Beasts see those who wield it as their natural enemies. It’s as simple as that.

"This..." Wei Chen hesitated.

"Those who would achieve great things can’t be concerned with trivialities. She’s just one woman, and there are plenty who are prettier and more alluring. Why should you, Young Master, give up this opportunity for her?" Jiangg Youx said, seeing his hesitation.

"Fine!" Wei Chen gritted his teeth, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

’The Luoyong Mercenary Corps and the Iron Rock Mercenary Corps have always been rivals. Now, the latter suddenly has another expert among them, not to mention their ambiguous relationship with that Copper-Armed Giant Ape. If I let these people leave here alive, my corps’ standing will definitely be threatened. On the other hand, if we eliminate them, the Iron Rock Mercenary Corps will suffer a devastating blow!’

"Young Master, although I’m not a Beast Language Master, I happen to know how to mimic a Wind Wolf’s howl. We just need to find a hiding spot outside the valley. I’ll imitate a wolf’s cry and can definitely lure the Wind Wolf Pack over. When they discover Tie Long and the others in the valley, they will absolutely kill them without hesitation!"

Wei Liao’s small eyes blinked a few times as he laid out the vicious plan.

A Beast Language Master was one of the special talents. They possessed a Beast Language Dantian, which allowed them to produce beast speech and freely converse with all kinds of Demon Beasts. A similarly renowned talent was the Universal Language Master, who possessed a Universal Language Dantian and could speak all kinds of human languages.

The languages of the human and Demon Races were not uniform; in fact, the language of every kingdom was different. Much like English, Chinese, French, and German, each had its own heritage and nuance. A Universal Language Master could understand and speak these various languages without needing to learn them—a talent that was certainly not weak.

Special talents weren’t so easy to come by. Although Wei Liao wasn’t a Beast Language Master, his ability to mimic a Wind Wolf’s howl was still quite a skill.

Of course, his howls could only express the most basic meanings, like a Wind Wolf’s anger or anxiety; he couldn’t actually communicate with them.

While Wei Chen and his group were plotting their vicious scheme, everyone in the valley had found a suitable spot to lie down.

"Hey, what do you think Yangg Yun’s true strength is?"

"Looks like he’s at the Qi Nourishing Realm, probably. Why?"

"Are you stupid? How could someone at the Qi Nourishing Realm command such respect from a Copper-Armed Giant Ape at the Peak of the Armor Realm?"

"Isn’t he a Beast Tamer?"

"The Young Miss is also a Beast Tamer, so why didn’t the Copper-Armed Giant Ape submit to her? Besides, did you hear him? He actually said he could help the giant ape advance to the Qi Sect Realm within half a year. He wasn’t just bragging, was he?"

"You’re right... I didn’t even notice until you mentioned it! But we’d better not talk about it. Whatever his strength is, as long as he’s not against us, it’s none of our business..."

A quiet conversation drifted from two mercenaries who were resting close together.

Although the mercenaries didn’t quite understand Nie Yun’s actions at first, they all figured it out later.

How could he make a Copper-Armed Giant Ape at the Peak of the Armor Realm so obedient without some means of subduing it!

"If I had his kind of strength, my life would be complete!"

"Tell me about it! To make a Copper-Armed Giant Ape at the Armor Realm so afraid, just how powerful is he? Could he already be at the Peak of Qi Sect?"

"Did you see how Jiangg Youx’s expression changed so quickly when they shook hands? He probably suffered a major loss!"

After some discussion, Nie Yun’s status in everyone’s minds rose dramatically. One by one, they looked at him with eyes full of worship.

Everyone worships the strong, and mercenaries even more so. Although they had never seen the young man fight, in their hearts, he was definitely a supreme expert on par with, or even stronger than, Jiangg Youx!

In contrast to the others’ adoration, Tie Lan grew increasingly agitated, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She just couldn’t figure out what this young man was up to. ’Could he really like me?’

’I have to get this idea out of his head...’

Tie Lan silently steeled her resolve.

’I might be carefree, but that doesn’t mean just anyone can like me. Even if this young man is powerful and extremely talented, he’s just a lecher who can’t walk straight at the sight of a girl, and that’s truly detestable!’

’These people...’

During his time in the mountain forest, Nie Yun had been using cultivation to replace sleep. Although he was now lying down with his eyes closed as if asleep, he was actually cultivating the entire time. Cultivation made one extremely sensitive to their surroundings, so naturally, he heard everyone’s discussions.

Hearing their words, Nie Yun couldn’t help but smile wryly. ’Looks like my efforts to keep a low profile have been useless...’

’Oh well, I’ll just go with the flow. If that’s what they want to think, let them. It’s not like I can kick them out if I’m not leaving myself!’

AROO! AROO!

Just as Nie Yun was smiling wryly to himself, a sharp wolf’s howl suddenly echoed from outside the valley. The cry was tragic and mournful, as if the wolf had encountered grave danger and was calling for its kin.

’Hmm? Something’s not right about that sound!’

Although Nie Yun wasn’t a Beast Language Master, he had dealt with Demon Beasts and Demons extensively across his two lifetimes. ’Logically, a wolf would only make such a tragic howl if it were gravely injured,’ he thought. ’Our group is just resting. What could have possibly attacked and made a Wind Wolf at the Peak of Gang Formation Realm cry out so wretchedly?’

’I’ll go take a look...’

At that thought, Nie Yun leaped to his feet. Just as he was about to walk out of the valley, he heard a rustling sound behind him. Turning his head, he saw that Tie Long and Tie Lan had also gotten up.

Mercenaries lived lives of dancing on a knife’s edge, so a mournful howl like that had woken all of them.

"Everyone, stay on guard here. We’re going out to take a look!"

Tie Long instructed the others, then led Tie Lan to follow Nie Yun out of the valley, heading in the direction of the wolf’s howl.

AROO! AROO! AROO! AROO! AROO! AROO! AROO...

The three of them hadn’t even left the valley when a series of Wind Wolf howls suddenly erupted in the distance. It seemed as though countless Wind Wolves had heard their packmate’s tragic cry and were rushing to help. Wind Wolves were extremely fast; one moment the sound was still several kilometers away, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed to be only a few hundred meters from the valley!

"Why are there so many Wind Wolves here?"

Hearing these howls, the expressions on both Tie Long and Tie Lan’s faces changed. Even Nie Yun’s face was terrifyingly grim.

"Uncle Tie Long, why are there so many Wind Wolves? This is bad! Wind Wolves always travel in packs. If they get here, we’ll probably all die! We should run, quickly!"

Tie Lan said anxiously, understanding the danger.

"Run? Wind Wolves are the most vengeful of Demon Beasts. If they arrive and find no one, they will definitely track us by scent. Besides, they move like the wind. Now that they’re this close, it’s impossible for us to escape!"

Nie Yun’s expression was grave.
