Chapter 632: Faking Injuries, Demanding and Bluffing, Departure

As it turned out, people never found it troublesome when doing bad things.

Yu Yuan and Shadow Wolf were currently in such a state.

"Remember this carefully—this point is very important!" The distance between the two had shrunk to about ten meters.

And between them lay the [Wild Fang], that symbolic 'bond of peace.'

No choice.

One feared the other's endless tricks and ability to punch above their rank; the other feared the opponent's Life Level.

Only Old Dog, acting as the middleman, could give both sides any sense of security.

After all, one was the other's ancestor, and the other was a collaborator who had helped him.

Their credibility counted for something, at least.

As it turned out, Old Dog's… tooth had the same effect.

As the previous and current owners of the [Wild Fang], both knew that this fang carried a trace of Old Dog's will.

Yu Yuan eagerly laid out his plan.

"You don't need to know much. From now on, brainwash yourself: you just entered this Civilization Relic, got infected by spores, and then witnessed players fighting.

Artus killed Anta and that Blood Clan player, but Artus was also gravely injured. Just then, the Blood Clan woman who had been hiding in the shadows attacked Artus.

At the critical moment, Artus pulled out a serpent-shaped statue item, but right then, a figure—blood-red with a silver glow—appeared on that Blood Clan woman. She killed Artus before he could activate the serpent statue item."

Shadow Wolf frowned slightly.

"Will this work? A figure—blood-red with a silver glow? What's that?"

Yu Yuan waved his hand.

"You don't need to know that much. In your current situation, the less you know, the better. Only then will your performance feel genuine…"

Although Shadow Wolf didn't fully grasp the logic.

But perhaps because of the Wolf Clan ancestor's earlier attitude, he inexplicably felt a sense of trust toward Yu Yuan's words.

"Got it?"

Shadow Wolf repeated the information Yu Yuan had just given, paraphrasing in his own words.

"I just entered here and got infected by spores. My strength was compromised, so I hid… then I saw their fight… and the winner was a Blood Clan woman…"

Yu Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"That's it! Remember, only say these words when absolutely necessary."

With that, Yu Yuan tapped a few times on the Virtual Light Screen.

Bang—

A cracking sound came from nearby.

A small cluster of parasitic spores appeared in midair, drifting toward the two.

Yu Yuan looked at Shadow Wolf.

"Hang in there. These spores are your evidence of injury."

Shadow Wolf clearly resisted this. He took two steps back, and his energy automatically gathered.

"Hey, don't forget that Old—your ancestor told you to obey my every order!"

Yu Yuan said immediately upon seeing this.

"Don't worry, for the sake of your ancestor, I won't harm you. I'm doing this for your own good!"

Hearing Yu Yuan's words, Shadow Wolf let out a sigh.

After taking a deep look at the pendant in Yu Yuan's hand, he resignedly closed his eyes.

The next moment, the parasitic spores attached to Shadow Wolf.

"Ah—"

Instantly, visible wounds appeared on his body.

His fur became mottled.

Yu Yuan then pulled out the disinfectant spray he had found in the [Microbial Modification Laboratory] and sprayed it on the spores.

The spores died on the spot.

Revealing Shadow Wolf's pitiful state.

It had to be said, parasitic spores were terrifying. In just under three seconds, Shadow Wolf's fur was already stained with blood.

Even Yu Yuan couldn't bear to look.

He immediately tossed out an Epic-grade [Biological Enhancement Syringe].

"Use this!"

After saying that, he stepped back.

Shadow Wolf, enduring the severe pain, took the healing potion in hand.

After checking it to confirm it was safe, he jabbed it into his neck.

Werewolves inherently possessed remarkable regenerative and self-healing abilities. With the effect of this [Biological Enhancement Syringe] and Shadow Wolf's active acceleration,

his wounds visibly squirmed and began to heal.

The injuries closed up quickly.

Leaving only some patchy, bald spots in his fur.

Shadow Wolf looked at the uneven patches on his fur and frowned slightly.

"Are you sure this will work?"

"Just a token effort—having traces is enough! This is only a backup plan anyway. You might not even need to show your face!"

Shadow Wolf shrugged, indicating he didn't understand but would respect the decision.

Finally, his gaze fell on the [Wild Fang] in Yu Yuan's hand.

"Um, you should give my stuff back now. That was a gift from my ancestor."

But Yu Yuan had already stored the [Wild Fang] into the Rabbit Ring and looked at Shadow Wolf with a confused expression.

"Huh? What are you talking about?" His eyes were clear and innocent.

Shadow Wolf's mouth twitched slightly.

But considering the importance of the [Wild Fang], he continued anyway.

"The [Wild Fang]! I handed it to you only to confirm your identity, not to give it to you! Besides, that pendant only works on the Wolf Clan—it's useless to you!"

Yu Yuan finally showed a look of sudden realization.

"Oh, you mean that thing! Your ancestor gave it to me. He thought you guys were too useless—couldn't even handle a Blood Clan Duke. He said he was very disappointed…"

"So he decided to entrust me with the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Wolf Clan!"

"What!" Shadow Wolf looked at Yu Yuan in disbelief.

"Of course, you're still a promising junior he values. Given my relationship with him, you're practically my junior too. When the chance comes, I'll take you under my wing."

Yu Yuan's words instantly killed any desire Shadow Wolf had to argue.

Because he had no way to verify whether Yu Yuan was telling the truth. He couldn't go confirm it with his ancestor.

One was an existence above Gold, and the other was just a little Bronze-rank kid.

Logically, they shouldn't have had any connection at all.

But…

There was always a 'but.'

His ancestor had taken one look at Yu Yuan and ordered him to obey whatever he said.

Add that to the current situation.

If anyone claimed these two had no connection, Shadow Wolf wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

So, even though he felt Yu Yuan's words were utter nonsense and complete bullshit,

given the current circumstances, Yu Yuan had clearly made up his mind not to return it. Shadow Wolf seemed to have no other choice.

"Phew—"

Shadow Wolf felt that this expedition had been a huge loss.

He hadn't gained a single benefit.

He had taken a beating, used up two bottles of [Dawnlight's Flame], and on top of that, lost the [Wild Fang].

What a massive loss.

"Forget it, let's leave." He was mentally exhausted.

Hearing this, Yu Yuan's eyes lit up slightly.

"Huh? I bluffed my way through?"

Without any further hesitation, he activated the Highest Management Authority.

Selected to end the exploration.

As the final victor of this Civilization Relic.

The moment Yu Yuan made his choice, a confirmation prompt appeared on the Virtual Light Screen.

"Let's go!" Yu Yuan confirmed his choice.

The next moment, Yu Yuan and Shadow Wolf vanished from this Civilization Relic in a distortion of space.
