Then let the witch offer her loyalty
Page 156
"The title of Wolf King is won with teeth and claws. You have never defeated us, and we have no reason to recognize your title of Wolf King."
"Similarly, if any of us can defeat you, then you must submit to this new king, won't you?"
Chen Moxin said many offensive things, but surprisingly, Lang Yue did not get angry.
Instead, she just stared coldly at Chen Moxin for a while, blinked, and her originally reddened irises slowly faded back to normal.
Her expression was no longer ferocious; instead, she was scrutinizing Chen Moxin as if assessing a challenger's qualifications.
“You’re right,” Wolf Moon said calmly. “If anyone can defeat me and win my heart, I will naturally recognize him as the new Wolf King.”
"Don't even mention establishing a spiritual pact, I'd even show my belly."
Yang Jie was somewhat surprised, not expecting Lang Yue to be so easy to talk to, and looked at Chen Moxin with a puzzled expression.
Chen Moxin smiled; this was exactly what he had expected.
During this period, he specifically spent money to hire a zoology professor as a consultant to learn about various ecological knowledge related to wolf packs.
In a wolf pack, challenging the alpha wolf is a common occurrence, and this behavior is usually initiated by a lower-ranking wolf.
If a lower-ranking wolf successfully challenges the old wolf king, it will replace the old wolf king and become the new wolf king.
Previously, Linbei City had sent witch hunters to try to subdue Wolf Moon by force, which was essentially an act of "challenging the Wolf King".
From this point of view alone, Wolf Moon is relatively amiable.
In a real wolf pack, if a lower-ranking wolf fails to challenge the alpha wolf, it will be at the mercy of the alpha wolf and may be driven out of the pack or even killed.
Wolf Moon only asks the losers to expose their bellies in submission, which is a very gentle approach.
Of course, it's also possible that she felt that surrendering by exposing her belly was more shameful than dying.
In any case, this kind of "challenge" is part of the wolf pack's ecosystem. Wolf Moon must have been used to it since it was a cub, so it naturally wouldn't find it offensive.
Moreover, according to the rules of the wolf pack, once a "lower wolf" launches such a challenge, the "wolf king" cannot avoid it.
Therefore, in theory, as long as you are not afraid of getting beaten up, you can openly challenge Wolf Moon to a fair and square battle for the Wolf King.
Realizing their current predicament, Yang Jie glimpsed a glimmer of hope and asked, "Wolf Moon, do you keep your word? You're willing to do anything to defeat you in this challenge?"
"Of course, I, the Great King, never lie," Wolf Moon sneered. "However, the specific details of the challenge must be according to my rules!"
...
The sun was high in the sky, but the dense shade of the mountains blocked out the sunlight, and the mountain winds howled all around.
Above the mountains, a military reconnaissance helicopter traversed the rugged, continuous mountain range, the airflow generated by its propellers sweeping through the trees and leaves.
"Command, this is the aerial observation post. We have observed SWAB-138 and its challenger, Hunter Yanmeng. Everything is normal at the moment."
The special forces soldier in the co-pilot's seat, carrying thermal imaging binoculars, watched the two red figures speeding through the mountains and shook his head with a hint of regret.
"However, this hunter's chances are probably gone too."
On the ground, Wolf Moon's figure flew at high speed through the forest, each step unleashing astonishing explosive power. His movements were as nimble and agile as a silver-gray wolf.
Whether it's mountains, ravines, or streams, all terrains are like flat ground to her. She can leap dozens of meters in a single bound, with the tuft of white down at the end of her ears drawing two white arcs in the air.
Jungle receded rapidly behind Wolf Moon.
As she passed through the last dense forest barrier, her view suddenly opened up.
Ahead was an open area atop a mountain, with a conspicuous metal post in the center and a bright red "finish line" flag fluttering in the sunlight.
This is the finish line of the "Racing Challenge".
Not far away, Yang Jie was leaning against a folding chair. He was dressed in casual clothes and wearing reflective sunglasses. He looked quite relaxed, as if he was enjoying this hard-won leisure time.
Yang Jie was not surprised to see Wolf Moon appear.
"Well, another one has failed."
He casually grabbed a whole piece of freshly cut raw beef leg from the table and tossed it into the air.
Before the meat even hit the ground, a gray figure leaped into the air.
Wolf Moon leaped into the air, biting the beef with perfect precision, then landed on the ground, darting towards a nearby pond. It devoured the beef while drinking the clear stream water.
After finishing the meat, she habitually licked the back of her hand and let out a satisfied burp.
Just then, a series of loud noises came from the jungle ahead of the finish line.
Accompanied by the heavy, rapid sound of running, a burly figure stumbled and rushed out from within.
Yan Meng was covered in sweat, his eyes were bloodshot, his chest heaved violently with rapid breathing, his legs trembled slightly, and one of his shoes had even flown off. He looked quite disheveled.
When he saw Wolf Moon licking his hands at the finish line and the contemptuous look he was being given, Yan Meng lay on his back on the ground, sighing weakly like a salted fish.
A week ago, after negotiations between the Administration and Wolf Moon, Wolf Moon presented his conditions regarding the "establishment of a spirit contract".
Wolf Moon stated that she would only form a spiritual pact with someone stronger than herself.
In other words, you need to defeat her in the "Wolf King Challenge" first.
In response to this, Wolf Moon proposed three challenges: a racing challenge, an eating challenge, and a duel challenge.
To put it simply, it's a competition of who can run the fastest, who can eat the most, and who can fight the best.
Whoever can defeat Wolf Moon in all three challenges will voluntarily relinquish the title of Wolf King and submit to the other party.
There are no barriers to starting a challenge; anyone is welcome.
But whoever loses must expose their belly to her as a sign of submission.
A week has passed, and several witch hunters have already challenged Wolf Moon.
But without exception, they all failed in the speed challenge.
I simply can't outrun them!
As per Wolf Moon's request, the racing challenge was to be held in the wild.
The management bureau has specially designated a remote, steep, and uninhabited area in the mountainous region north of the Twin Cities for racing challenges.
Both sides must start from a designated starting point and traverse treacherous terrain such as shrublands, scree slopes, cliffs, and rapids.
Every witch hunter is familiar with off-road racing like this; their first test during special training is armed off-road racing, so they are very good at it.
But Wolf Moon's speed was simply too abnormal!
As a heterogenous psychic, her physical abilities far surpassed those of ordinary people.
In addition, she grew up with wolves, so the wild environment was like home to her, and running around was truly "as easy as walking on flat ground".
According to real-time speed measurements taken by observers on the helicopter, Wolf Moon's average off-road speed reached an absurd 200 kilometers per hour, twice as fast as the cheetah, the king of land sprints.
Moreover, according to Wolf Moon himself, this was just "a casual trip".
These little Karamis right now are simply not good enough for her to unleash her true speed.
Just as Yan Meng was lying on the ground sighing because he had failed the challenge, Lang Yue walked over and kicked him: "Hey kid!"
She looked down at Yan Meng with disdain, hands on her hips, ears perked up, her expression full of mockery and smugness, as if she were looking at a ungrateful little wolf cub that she had beaten flat.
"You lost. Now, obediently show your belly!"
Yan Meng was filled with resentment, his face flushed red, his gaze shifting between Yang Jie and the others who were watching the commotion. His lips moved as if he wanted to argue, but in the end he was too ashamed to play tricks on a child and could only admit defeat.
He gritted his teeth, lifted his sweat-soaked training vest that clung to his body, revealing his eight-pack abs.
Wolf Moon was practically bubbling with glee. She looked defiantly at Yang Jie and the others not far away, her voice high-pitched and arrogant: "Who else?!"
Yang Jie glanced at the list in his hand and pulled his sunglasses down a little: "Let me see... There's another challenger, Lei Lie, who, like Yan Meng, is a heterogenous psychic."
"However, to be fair, how about we reschedule for another day? After all, you've already made a trip today, and you must have used up a lot of energy."
"Hahahaha!" Wolf Moon suddenly burst into laughter. "Stamina? Are you kidding me?"
She stepped on Yan Meng's stomach, who hadn't even had time to get up yet, causing him to let out a low growl.
The way he stood on someone's stomach, so arrogant and haughty, was incredibly overbearing.
"He's just a small fry like me. He couldn't even force me to use one-tenth of my strength. What kind of challenge is that? I haven't even warmed up yet."
"Stop talking nonsense. That guy named Lei Lie, get out here. I'm in a good mood today, so I'll give him a two-on-one battle."
Yang Jie didn't say much; he was just a referee and a spectator anyway, so he waved to the back.
The tall Lei Lie ran over quickly. He was wearing a simple tracksuit, had dark skin, and honest eyes. He chuckled as he ran, and when he got to Lang Yue, he extended his hand in a friendly manner: "Hello, hello, please guide me from now on."
"Get your claws off me!" Wolf Moon slapped Lei Lie's hand away without any politeness, then put her hands on her hips and looked up at him. "Hmm... this kid looks pretty big, but I wonder how capable he is."
After saying that, she waved her hand and said, "Go back the way you came. Ying, who gets to the camp first, charge!"
Chapter 199 No, Sister
As soon as he finished speaking, Wolf Moon transformed into a silver-gray afterimage and rushed out of the finish line, leaping into the dense forest.
Her limbs are very coordinated. She can run on her legs like an ordinary person, and when she encounters obstacles, she can also jump and move around like a wild animal by crawling on her hands and knees.
Wolf Moon ran swiftly through the forest, dodging thick vines and leaping over protruding boulders. Occasionally, when she encountered damp, slippery mossy ground, she would use her hands and feet to push off the trees and turn, leaping lightly among the trees with wild yet graceful movements.
As it ran, its furry wolf ears suddenly twitched, swayed twice, and then stood up abruptly.
This is a signal that some kind of unusual noise has been detected.
"Hmm?" She tilted her head slightly in surprise and glanced back.
Behind them, a burly figure was seen rushing towards them.
Lei Lie's body was as strong as an iron tower, but his tall stature did not affect his agility. His steps were fast and steady, and he was very good at taking advantage of the situation.
Whenever there was a thick tree blocking his way, he would grab it with one hand and use his shoulder to bump it, using the momentum to turn and then sweep past it.
When encountering rugged terrain, he always jumps just the right distance, easily leaping over it without wasting time by lingering in the air, maintaining peak efficiency at all times.
"Shh-"
Soon, Lei Lie overtook Lang Yue and sped past her.
The crisscrossing wind pressure lashed against Wolf Moon's face, making her ears curl back.
Wolf Moon stared at Lei Lie's retreating figure, a grin spreading across his face, revealing sharp teeth, and a fierce, excited light gleaming in his eyes.
"Um..."
She let out a low growl, as if savoring a long-lost thrill, then paused, her whole body suddenly sinking down like an arrow ready to be released.
"This kid's pretty good." Her pupils contracted sharply, and a strong fighting spirit appeared between her brows. "Then I'll play with you seriously."
...
From the air, this mountainous area presents an unprecedented spectacle.
Two figures flew one after the other at an incredible speed through the winding mountain range. Wherever they passed, it was as if an invisible force was tearing the earth apart. Trees along the way shook violently, grass lay flattened, and dust swirled up like waves rolling to both sides.
The commotion startled the birds, who scattered and flew away in alarm. Wild animals inhabiting the forest also fled in panic, desperately trying to get away from the direction from which the sound came.
In the sky, the bureau's reconnaissance helicopters were trying their best to track the two.
The observer stood by the hatch, holding onto the hoisting rope, and kept his eyes glued to the situation below through binoculars.
In the footage, two figures vying for dominance, accompanied by dust, resemble two rapidly moving blades, carving furrows and gullies through the mountains and forests.
"Faster!" the observer shouted urgently into the cockpit. "They're too fast, we're going to lose them!"
The pilot, slamming his fist on the control stick, cursed, "We can't go any faster! We're already at 350 kilometers per hour, and the aircraft is practically shaking to pieces!"
The observer was speechless and could only watch helplessly as the two figures disappeared into the distance, gradually vanishing from the edge of his field of vision.
...
At this moment, the race between Lang Yue and Lei Lie had entered a heated phase, and they relied on their skills and physical abilities to overcome various complex terrains one by one.
"Wow—"
With a sharp turn, Wolf Moon spun almost close to the ground, kicking up a cloud of yellow dust half a person's height. Then, it used its hands and feet to step onto thick trees, leaping over a steep cliff several meters high. Upon landing, it didn't stop and continued to rush forward at an exaggerated speed.
Lei Lie followed closely behind, suddenly stepping onto the rocks and springing up. The solid rock surface was shattered, and the shattered rocks fell in all directions, making a loud cracking sound as they hit the ground.
He somersaulted in mid-air over the edge of the cliff, then crashed into the mountain path ahead with a thud, relentlessly chasing after Wolf Moon.
Wolf Moon heard the noise and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.
She thought she had created some distance, but now it seemed that the two were neck and neck.
