Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 661 - 317: Lure, Rivalry, Joint Kill

As Han Tao, a Rock Horse Warrior, completely unleashed the aura contained within himself...

The Level 22 Desolate Wolf Beast, upon catching the scent, suddenly opened its eyes from its fake slumber, as if injected with adrenaline, with its blood circulation skyrocketing several times over in excitement. It opened its mouth full of Wolf Fangs and quickly leapt out from its hiding stone pile.

Among the Three-headed Desolate Wolf Beasts of the Desert Wolf Race, it ranked second.

To be precise, the current Desert Wolf Race only has three Tier Two Early Stage Leaders because they are not evolved giant wolves from the Old Earth Era, but a branch that adapted to the harsh wasteland environment on the surface, evolving over thousands of years.

The leader commanding the Evolved Desolate Wolves, Wolf Ao, is actually not a ruler born within the Desert Wolf Race.

But a remnant existence from ancient ancestors.

Therefore, unlike other Tier Two Peak existences, Wolf Ao’s sustained consciousness does not come from the Desert Wolf Race, but from the Tier Three Wolf King radiation within the Wolf King’s Tomb.

This point, although seemingly insignificant, is intimately related to the development of the race and the birth of the Tier Three King Beast.

In other words, the next Wolf King can only emerge from the current members of the Desert Wolf Race, as even though Wolf Ao desires to inherit the Wolf King’s position, it lacks a sufficient race foundation to share the pressure of absorbing the Wolf King Source Material.

The consequence of forceful absorption would either be shattered sanity by fierce high-tier energy, turning into a monster like a wolf corpse, or directly exploding to death.

So the new Wolf King can only emerge from the current Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beasts.

That is, from Wolf Da, Wolf Two, and Lang San, the real leaders of the Desert Wolf Race.

They are not Wolf Ao’s direct offspring nor do they have any blood relations with each other. They were chosen by Wolf Ao during their evolution due to their talents, absorbing Wolf Ao’s Evolutionary Source Material, endowing them with the ancient evolving wolf bloodline.

In this way, they can retain their identity in the current Desert Wolf Race, while activating the ancestral bloodline to better absorb the legacy of the Tier Three Power from the Wolf King.

Of course, Wolf Ao’s actions were also for himself, so that after the birth of the new Wolf King, he could linger around it and rely on the Tier Three Power to continue surviving.

And for the current moment, as for the three wolves, with turmoil approaching and a Tier Three Wolf King about to be born, their competition with each other far exceeds cooperation.

The most advantageous, Wolf Da, although already at Level 23 in evolution, is only a step away from advancing to Tier Two Mid-stage, far ahead of the others Wolf Two and Lang San.

But Wolf Da is inherently foolish; although it has gained intelligence, it is not wise, with an intelligence quotient on par with an average human, only about ninety.

However, Wolf Da is quite fierce, with astonishing combat power, or in other words, is inherently savage, fully inheriting this characteristic of the wolf race.

In contrast, Wolf Two appears amiable and meek externally, but is scheming and suspicious internally.

This time, it, along with its underling Lang San, devised a plan to lure the target into the valley, setting a trap while arranging the strongest Wolf Da in the direct battlefield to apply pressure.

Meanwhile, it hides in the dark.

The plan was to ambush the human rescue team that was arriving, but Wolf Two clearly knew that if the human strong ones arriving had power or numbers too great, it would decisively choose to observe from a distance, or even escape early.

If the rescue force was manageable, it would wait until both sides were exhausted in battle, then emerge to reap the benefits.

In this way, unless the Human Evolvers were too weak, directly torn to pieces by Wolf Da, Wolf Two, acting as the backup, could fully seize the greatest advantage, becoming the ultimate winner of this ambush.

But what Wolf Two did not expect was the enemy would voluntarily walk into death, and it was an extremely weak Rock Horse Warrior.

Of course, another Tier Two Mid-stage Human Evolver lurking nearby was also detected by Wolf Two’s perception.

This indicated that humans intended to lure it out actively and then rely on a Tier Two Mid-stage Evolver to deal with a Tier Two Early-stage Desolate Wolf Beast.

Realizing the human’s intentions, Wolf Two did not feel any fear because it knew very well that although it wasn’t like Wolf Da, its Level 22 evolution power was enough for a Desolate Wolf Beast to match an ordinary human Tier Two Mid-stage Evolver.

As for the Rock Horse Warrior voluntarily stepping forward to die, with only Tier Two Early-stage strength, Wolf Two only needed one Wolf Howl Intimidation to shake the opponent, scaring the Rock Horse Warrior out of combat courage.

Therefore, this battle for Wolf Two was straightforward; as long as it could withstand the harassment from the human Tier Two Evolvers, it could easily secure the blood and flesh of a Tier Two Early-stage Rock Horse Warrior.

Taking this opportunity, Wolf Two, whose strength had been accumulating for years, could make a giant stride into Level 23, standing side by side with the now strongest in the Desert Wolf Race, Wolf Da.

The Tier Two flesh and blood from the Rock Horse Warrior would have effects identical to the Rock Horse Giant Beast, just in smaller measure, yet it could stimulate the Tier Two Cells inside the Desolate Wolf Beast, accelerating their proliferation and division, advancing to a higher level.

Previously, Wolf Ao led the Desert Wolf Race to attack Oasis Town to kill a large number of Rock Horse Warriors, especially Patriarch Li from the Li Family. As a Tier Two Mid-stage Rock Horse Warrior, his blood and flesh could propel one of the three early-stage Desolate Wolf Beasts into Tier Two Mid-stage.

It was just unexpected that, suddenly, the originally Tier Two Mid-stage Level 26 Evolver Li Hao broke through at the battlefield, becoming an extremely rare Tier Two Late-Stage Rock Horse Warrior.

He could rival a Tier Two Late-stage Rock Horse Giant Beast, and for a Tier Two Early-stage evolving Desolate Wolf Beast, such an evolutionary food would not just be an opportunity to break through bottlenecks but a treasure enhancing its evolutionary potential significantly.
