Chapter 268 - 268 He's Simply Not Human!
268 He’s Simply Not Human!
A huge black wolf stood in front of the pack of wolves, staring straight at the man in black. Strangely, there was no killing intent in its eyes, but it was full of suspicion.
It kept twitching its nose, as if it was trying to confirm something.
The man in black also knew that the wolves had no intention of killing him, but he had been followed by the wolves for three days, and he didn’t know the reason. He was running out of patience.
The black wolf lowered its head and slowly took two steps forward. It didn’t take an attacking posture. Instead, it seemed to be getting closer to the man in black to confirm something.
“What do you want to confirm?”
The man in black seemed to have seen through the black wolf’s thoughts. He laughed at himself after asking the question.
He should have gotten used to this kind of loneliness, but why was he talking to the wolf now?
Therefore, that saying made sense. The longer he interacted with people, the more he liked animals. Even if it was a group of cunning and cruel wolves, he could still talk to them.
Although he felt that it was ridiculous to talk to the wolf, the man still reached out his hand and let the black wolf smell the back of his hand. At the same time, he was surprised to find that the black wolf’s tail was actually wagging gently.
Wolves weren’t dogs, but when expressing their closeness and submission, they would also wag their tails like dogs.
Although the black wolf’s tail was wagging very slowly and with a very small range, the man in black could see it very clearly.
Was it expressing its goodwill to him?
Not only did the man in black not clear his confusion, but he was even more confused.
He was very sure that this was the first time he had encountered this pack of giant wolves. At that time, he and the wolf pack had been walking in the mountain ridge and the valley in peace. Obviously, the pack of wolves had not been chasing him at that time, but they had suddenly turned around and rushed toward him.
He relied on his ghostly skills and didn’t put the wolves in his eyes. It was only when he found that he couldn’t shake off the pursuit of the wolves no matter what he did that he began to get serious.
If it was not for the fact that he did not detect any killing intent from the wolves, the man in black would have killed them all after being tracked for a day. How could he allow them to follow him for three days?
But now, these wolves were actually showing him a sense of closeness. What was going on?
No matter how intelligent the man was, he could not guess the real reason behind this.
“I still have a mission, so I can’t waste my time with you in this deep mountain. If we’re fated to meet again in the future, let’s meet again.”
The man in black subconsciously felt that the wolves could understand him, so he said to the black wolf directly.
As expected, the black wolf nodded slightly, turned around, and left with the wolf pack.
A crack appeared on the black clothed man’s ice cold face. He had never thought that getting rid of this pack of wolves that had been chasing him for three days would only require such a short sentence.
However, he didn’t lose his composure for long. After the wolves disappeared into the forest, he turned around and continued to walk deep into the mountains.
Two days later, the man in black walked out of the mountain range, pursed his lips and whistled.
Not long after, a handsome black horse galloped from the distance and stopped in front of him. It kept nodding and raising its hooves to show affection.
This black horse was exactly the same as Mo Ruyue’s, except that there was a whirlpool-like hair on its forehead that could distinguish the two horses.
“Let’s go,”
The man in black mounted the horse and patted its neck. Then, he shook the reins and the man and horse rushed out almost instantly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
An hour later, the man was already sitting in a room in an inn.
This was the best sky room in the entire inn. There was a package on the table in front of him, and he didn’t look like he was resting, but rather waiting for someone.
Soon, there was a rhythmic knock on the door, and the man in black immediately responded, “Enter.”
The door opened, and a luxuriously dressed young man walked in with a smile.
“Ah Ying, you’re the fastest to complete the task again. You’re indeed the number one in the building. No one can compare to your speed and quality!”
As the man spoke, he walked to the table and sat down. He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it in one gulp, ignoring the fact that the tea was already a little cold.
“Hey, you should pay more attention to the quality of life. This tea is not authentic herbal tea. Even if you drink it warm, it is better than cold tea. It is a pity that this pot of good tea is worth 100 taels of silver.
“Stop being so long-winded, check the goods, and pay up.”
The man in black didn’t respond to him at all. He didn’t even bother to say a few more words.
Alright, alright, alright. You’re the boss. You’re really hard to please.
Although the young man’s tone was resentful, his actions were not sloppy at all.
After he opened the package, a white porcelain jar was revealed. He then carefully opened the lid a crack, and a strange fragrance immediately hit his face, making him quickly cover the lid again.
“Good fellow, you really managed to get it?”
The young man looked at the man in black in surprise. There was only a small gap, but the whole room was filled with that strange fragrance. He didn’t need to look carefully to know that the items for this mission were definitely inside. There was no way to fake it.
This was a double S rank mission that had been hanging in the building for many years. It was to go to the depths of the mountain range and retrieve that treasure.
Who knew how many people had died in the mountains to complete this mission, but this man called Ah Ying had only been in the building for two months, and he could complete this super difficult mission without any effort. He was not human!
Jealousy flashed in the young man’s eyes, but he quickly hid it with a smile.
“Congratulations, Ying. After completing this mission, you’re now the top killer in the tower. Even the tower master has to give you some leeway. In the future, this brother will still need your help, so you can’t refuse!”
As he spoke, he took out a tourmaline ring from his pocket and placed it directly beside the hand of the man in black.
The color of the tourmaline was excellent, and the lines were natural. It was obviously carved directly from a huge piece of tourmaline, and its value itself was very shocking.
This is the reward for this time. As usual, you can open the divine-level treasure chest of the capital’s ‘Jin Bao’ bank. The things inside are all yours.
The man in black picked up the ring and put it on his left thumb. Without saying another word to the young man, he got up and walked out of the door.
“Hey, you’ve earned a lot this time. Can’t you treat me to a good meal? At the very least, this bro is also the person who pulled the strings for this mission of yours. You wouldn’t refuse to give me this little benefit, right?”
The young man shouted from behind him, but the man in black acted as if he didn’t hear him. Instead of taking the stairs, he jumped over the railing and jumped down. Soon, there were screams from all over the place.
“This person never takes the normal path.”
The young man shook his head and stopped chasing after her. Instead, he sat down at the table again.
His hand had just touched the teapot when another figure flashed into the room and closed the door behind him.
