The wolf king was stunned when he saw the ape kingâs strange dress up and then noticed the fruit peels under his feet. He asked, âWhat are you doing?â
âIâm being targeted by the snake beastman. These things can conceal my scent,â the ape king explained simply.
The wolf king instantly flew into a rage. âHe wants to kill you? Feral beasts are really barbaric. We shouldnât have let him stay on Bai Qingqingâs account back then!â
âItâs too late to say this now.â The ape king interrupted the wolf kingâs furious words, looked at him with an anxious gaze, and asked, âWhere did you put your transparent crystals?â
âIn my bedroom. You have an urgent need for them?â
âQuickly give them to me!â The ape kingâs tone sounded even more anxious. He even acted roughly, grabbing the wolf kingâs shoulders.
The wolf king looked at him, feeling perplexed. He then led him to the highest floor.
The wolf kingâs family members were also immersed in the joy from the rain and hadnât slept. The female in the room was chatting happily with her mates, her words showing her great admiration and respect for the tiger king.
The ape kingâs countenance immediately turned ghastly pale and he glared at them coldly.
âCough!â The wolf king feigned a cough and the beastmen in the room immediately fell silent. They then got up and greeted the ape king respectfully.
However, this âape kingâ sounded very piercing to him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDo you guys have matters to deal with when itâs already so late?â The wolf kingâs female asked softly.
The wolf kingâs replied in a gentle tone, âWeâll leave right after taking something. You guys should have an earlier rest. Donât sleep too late.â
âMm.â
After picking up the transparent crystals, the two kings went downstairs to the 5th floor where it was quieter.
Two shadows were cast on the ground of the dim roomâone tall, the other strong.
âGive me the transparent crystals.â The shadow that looked wider and stronger had its hand reaching out to the other. The ape kingâs voice sounded hoarse and there was a clear tone of desire in it.
For some reason, the wolf king suddenly drew back his hand and asked, âWhy do you need so many transparent crystals? Where are yours? And the tiger kingâs? Arenât they enough?
âItâs⦠because of the prayer for rain this time around?â The wolf king tried to ask.
âEn,â The ape king replied patiently, then reached out his hand toward the heavy animal skin bag that the wolf king was holding.
The wolf king instinctively dodged, feeling increasingly perplexed. âThe rain has come. Why do you still need the transparent crystals?â
Transparent crystals were the fixed assets of the City of Beastmen. When the beast tide came, the transparent crystals could be used to replenish the warriorsâ stamina. When females fall sick, they could be used as a life-saving measure. Half of the transparent crystals in the City of Beastmen had been used to pray for rain this time around, so itâd be a lie to say that the wolf kingâs heart wouldnât ache.
âDo you still not understand? Bai Qingqing wants her males to kill me!â The ape king bellowed hysterically, his eyes gleaming with a strange green glow. âGive me the transparent crystals and Iâll be able to level up into a three-striped beastman.â
âWhat?â The wolf king was shocked. Using transparent crystals to fill up the gap to reach a three-striped beastman?
The reason the wolf king was in unconditional submission to the ape king was because of the City of Beastmen. He felt that only one that was intelligent was suitable to lead the City of Beastmen. The ape king was the best beastman candidate for the role.
However, what did he just hear? The ape king had used up half of the City of Beastmenâs transparent crystals and was now even asking for his. Even if it was because he wanted to save himself, the price to pay was too great. The transparent crystals were the City of Beastmenâs wealth!
The wolf king couldnât help but tighten his grip on the bag, giving his assurance in a low voice. âIâll go look for the leopard king. I believe that he wonât sit by and watch.â
The ape king suddenly fell silent as he took a deep glance at the wolf king. No one knew what he was thinking.
The wolf king assured once again. âThe City of Beastmenâs citizens wonât allow them to do this either. Donât worry.â
âAlright,â the ape king replied.
The wolf king heaved a sigh of relief and quickly turned to head out. Suddenly, all the hair on the back of his neck stood up, with every single pore scream âdangerâ!
