Time passed slowly . The moment when one was awaiting the arrival of challengers would always be unbearable and exhausting . This was even more so for Bai Xiaofei’s group as they waited for an existence that could potentially destroy them all .
Meanwhile, the Toxic Overlord Butterfly, who had escaped from the fight earlier, was gasping for breath on top of a massive tree . What happened earlier was truly too shocking for him . When he thought back to what he had experienced, shock was the only thing he felt .
“Is it time for me to start following a royal as well? I keep having a feeling that things are going to change here in the Infinite Mountain Range,” muttered the Toxic Overlord Butterfly . He then took out the torn map he had received from Bai Xiaofei . Sensing the bizarre undulation within the map, he eased up somewhat . If he relied on strength alone, he would not catch the fancy of any royals . Thus, he needed something else, and this torn map would be the best offering for a royal . In any case, he no longer had any chance of obtaining the complete map . Since that was the case, there was no harm in using it to get a strong backer .
While the Toxic Overlord Butterfly was busy thinking about his future plans, the silent forest suddenly erupted in clamor . Greatly shocked, the butterfly refocused his attention on his surroundings . Unfortunately, it was too late . A figure flashed past and instantly pressed the Toxic Overlord Butterfly to the ground . Then, a massive silver wolf appeared . The wolf’s sharp teeth could be clearly seen as drops of viscous saliva dripped onto the Toxic Overlord Butterfly’s body .
“You must have escaped from the source of the aftershock . Tell me . What’s happening there?”

A calm voice rang out as a wolf, looking similar to the wolf pressing the Toxic Overlord Butterfly to the ground, appeared . This new wolf was three times larger than the wolf on the butterfly, and his entire body was covered in golden fur . The golden wolf slowly walked out of the woods, and behind him, a silver wolf was following closely .
“L-Lord Gold!”
“Did you not hear our lord’s question?” asked the silver wolf on the Toxic Overlord Butterfly, interrupting the stuttering butterfly .
“There is an injured royal magical beast, a human below the King Rank and two Earth Infants guarding the injured royal . But now, a Berserk Gorilla and an Earth Demonic Bear are there as well . I reckon that royal won’t survive much longer,” replied the Toxic Overlord Butterfly . Despite the panic he was in, he was still able to maintain clear thought and clearly articulate all he knew .
“So it’s really a royal . Do you know which royal?” asked the golden wolf with joy in his eyes .

“A fox! But I can’t see clearly which magical beast it is exactly, as she has used some unknown method to transform into a half-humanoid form . ”
“It’s actually a fox?” the golden wolf cried out in alarm; the joy in his eyes became even more apparent .
“Lord, the message we received from the Earth Demonic Bear was that he had encountered a powerful enemy . I doubt the situation is as simple as what the Toxic Overlord Butterfly has said,” said the wolf behind the golden wolf in a low voice . His voice was filled with caution .
“The fox clan has been waning for many years . It is impossible that this royal has reached the Transmogrify Rank . So she must have used some secret technique to assume a human form . In this situation, she is at most a King Rank magical beast . What is there to fear?” said the golden wolf with a sneer . He was filled with confidence .
The golden wolf added, “But your words make sense as well . We just need to be careful . ” Although he was strong, he was not willfully arrogant, as was clearly shown from the words he had spoken .
“Lord, what should we do to this butterfly?” asked the silver wolf on top of the butterfly . When the butterfly heard the question, he started shivering .

“Lord! I have a treasure to offer you! I wish to become one of your underlings! I will obey all your commands!” offered the Toxic Overlord Butterfly . He knew that this was the last chance he had to swear fealty to this wolf .
“Oh? Treasure?” replied the golden wolf . His eyes lit up as his interest was piqued .
“This is it! An ancient map! Although I only have one of the three pieces, the other two pieces are on the two other King Rank magical beasts . I can lead the way for you!” said the Toxic Overlord Butterfly as he quickly sent the map to the golden wolf . The golden wolf scanned the map before a smile formed on his face .
“This is indeed no simple object . You did well,” said the golden wolf, immediately placating the butterfly’s anxious heart . But what the golden wolf said next sent a chill up the butterfly’s spine .
“However, we are already here so I don’t need you to lead the way . Just hand me your strength as well . That will be sufficient,” said the golden wolf casually . The moment he said that, a cold glint shone on the silver wolf’s claws as the butterfly was instantly split into two . His magic core rolled out, and after the silver wolf picked it up, he presented it to the golden wolf .
“This is your reward . A King Rank magic core is enough for you to grow stronger . There is a royal fox waiting for me there!” said the golden wolf . He was in an excellent mood . After saying those words, he started leisurely heading toward Hu Xian’er’s location .
“Thank you, lord!” said the silver wolf with his head lowered before quickly following behind the golden wolf . The Toxic Overlord Butterfly had not fled too far . In short, the three wolves were in fact not too far from Bai Xiaofei’s location . Therefore, even though they walked slowly, it did not take them long to reach . But what they saw when they arrived caused all their joy to vanish . The golden wolf had underestimated everything that was happening here .
Several beasts had been killed, their dismembered bodies strewn everywhere . The three wolves were unable to see how they were killed . In fact, it was even hard to see that these were the bodies of actual magical beasts . The golden wolf had relied on his sharp nose to come here . But now that he had arrived, apart from the stench of blood, there was also a stink and spicy smell lingering around the ruin . Here, let alone following the trail based on smell, even breathing was difficult .
Since they could no longer rely on smell, they could only rely on their eyes . But this ruin was completely empty . Only numerous marks left behind by battles could be seen .
“This is a spectacular disguise . But if my guess is right, you are all still here!” the golden wolf roared suddenly after frowning for a while . His loud voice reverberated around the ruin, yet he received no reply . Such straightforward bait would not work on Bai Xiaofei .
“You two, start howling!” ordered the golden wolf in a cold tone . Anger started rising within him when he saw that his attempt at baiting had failed . The two silver wolves stepped forward, braced for the vile smell, and stood at the center of the ruin . Before howling, they took in a deep breath, a deep breath that nearly caused them to faint from the vile smell . Fortunately, they were King Rank magical beasts, and their physique helped them survive the vile smell . Next, terrifying sound waves spread out from the two wolves . Everything around them started crumbling apart upon the sound waves hitting them .
