Chapter 756: Chapter 756

Seeing the three Fire Wolves’ repeated lunges fall empty, not even grazing the hem of Fang Bai and his company’s clothing, the Wolf King amidst the wolf pack let out a howl into the sky.

Hearing the Wolf King’s howl, the three Fire Wolves rapidly retreated, standing at their previous locations, and then each let out a series of howls as if responding to the Wolf King’s call.

Men have their words, beasts have their language.

Fang Bai and his two companions knew that this was likely the three Fire Wolves communicating with the Wolf King.

The initial attacks of the three Fire Wolves were as swift as lightning and thunder, impressively powerful, and yet Fang Bai, along with Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe, darted and weaved through the wolves’ cross lunges with movements smooth as drifting clouds and flowing water. Though the entire encounter was spine-chilling, none of the three sustained any injuries.

Seeing how Fang Bai led them to dodge and weave through the Fire Wolves’ attacks with ease, Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe’s fear finally vanished, and their understanding of Fang Bai’s prowess deepened further.

They knew that, with Fang Bai’s superb movement technique, leading them both to safety out of "Fire Wolves Valley" was evidently not an issue.

Only, Fang Bai’s expression didn’t seem to indicate any intention of leaving.

The Wolf King also seemed to realize that Fang Bai was no easy human to deal with; with several low howls, it summoned the Fire Wolves that surrounded Fang Bai and his group back to its side. Then, a dozen Fire Wolves lined up, channeling their Essence Energy, with cold light in their eyes and their fiery-red fur bristling, they slowly advanced towards Fang Bai and his companions.

The dozen Fire Wolves, as if trained, formed a line, their released Essence Energy converging together and pressing towards where Fang Bai and the others stood. Wherever they passed, grass and stones on the ground were stirred up by the energy.

Fire Primordial Qi is the most scorching force among the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy; the combined Fire Primordial Qi of the dozen Fire Wolves seemed like waves of heat lashing out. Both Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe could feel the temperature around them rapidly rising, their exposed skin on their hands and faces feeling scorched; their clothing also seemed as though it could ignite at any moment.

Fang Bai said this calmly while keeping his gaze on the pack of Fire Wolves opposite him.

Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe obeyed Fang Bai’s words without second thoughts and quickly positioned themselves behind him.

To their astonishment, it was as if behind Fang Bai was another world entirely; as they stood there, the feeling of being scalded by high temperatures disappeared, replaced by a cool sensation.

They didn’t realize that this was because Fang Bai had released a strand of his Water Element Qi, countering the onslaught of Fire Primordial Qi from the Fire Wolves.

"These Fire Wolves are quite cunning! They’ve realized they can’t kill us, so they’ve changed their tactics, trying to force us out of ’Blazing Flame Valley’!"

Fang Bai said with a smile as he watched the menacing, slowly advancing Fire Wolves.

"Then... then, Senior Fang, should we leave?"

Zhao Yuhe asked timidly.

To be honest, as soon as Zhao Yuhe saw those Fire Wolves, she felt frightened at heart and very much wanted to turn around and leave this dreadful place for good.

Fang Bai said, "We can leave after I subdue these Fire Wolves. There’s no rush!"

Zhao Yuhe had been relieved to think they could leave ’Fire Wolves Valley’ safely, and never expected Fang Bai to still consider slaughtering the wolves; she said with a distressed face, "Senior Fang, there are so many Fire Wolves, they’re not easy to kill!"

Fang Bai responded in surprise, "Who said I was going to kill them?"

"You say ’subdue,’ but isn’t that just killing them?"

Zhao Yuhe wore a look of confusion.

Fang Bai couldn’t help but laugh and said, "When I say ’subdue,’ I mean to tame them, to have them listen to me from now on!"

Not only was Zhao Yuhe stunned, but Wu Caiyun also looked shocked. Both women thought they had heard wrong.

Zhao Yuhe said, "Have them... listen to you? How is that possible? They’re not cats or dogs, but ferociously savage Fire Wolves! They eat people..."

Fang Bai smiled and replied, "Fire Wolves are not like common beasts. Having absorbed the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy here, they have gained a hint of spiritual awareness. As long as they can be subdued, they will be more obedient and loyal than those cats and dogs!"

After a pause, he added, "My plan is to tame them so that they continue to guard the Spiritual Medicine on Blazing Flame Mountain. That way, we won’t have to worry about other martial artists picking them!"

While Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe were still trying to process what Fang Bai had said, Fang Bai had already taken a few steps forward to meet the dozen or so Fire Wolves.

Fang Bai’s eyes shone with a strange light, extending his Divine Sense stealthily to envelop the dozen Fire Wolves while letting out a series of rising and falling howls.

What Fang Bai was using was a secret technique known as the Beast Taming Scripture. This technique first controlled the beast’s brain domain through Divine Sense, and then communicated with the beast through howls, to achieve complete control over it.

The howls emitted by Fang Bai were a very peculiar language, said to be created by a deity with Heaven Opening and Earth Splitting powers in the ancient times, capable of communicating with all creatures in the universe. Fang Bai had learned this miraculous ability during an opportunity in his past life.

The Beast Taming Scripture could even tame Immortal Beasts in the Immortal Realm that could command wind and rain, let alone the Spirit Beasts in the Hidden Sect World that had just developed a hint of spiritual awareness. Even though Fang Bai’s current Cultivation Level was far inferior to that in the Immortal Realm, subduing these few Fire Wolves was still an easy task.

In an instant, the dozen Fire Wolves were controlled by Fang Bai’s Divine Sense. He communicated with them using his howls, calming them down.

Very soon, the scorching Fire Primordial Qi on the bodies of the Fire Wolves dissipated, the fierce light in their eyes vanished, replaced by reverence and submission.

Fang Bai stopped his howling and strode up to the dozen Fire Wolves, pausing beside the Wolf King.

"Senior, be careful!"

Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe, who stood in place without daring to move, exclaimed with a gasp when they saw Fang Bai reach out to touch the Wolf King’s head.

However, the women’s worries were obviously unnecessary. When Fang Bai reached out to touch the Wolf King’s head, not only did it show no sign of resisting, but it also obediently laid down. As Fang Bai’s palm stroked it, it let out a low "woo woo" sound and wagged its tail high, resembling a cat or dog trying to please its master.

Watching the most powerful Wolf King among the Fire Wolves become as docile and obedient as a kitten under Fang Bai’s touch, Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe were dumbstruck as if in a dream.

Fang Bai beckoned to the stupefied Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe.

Wu Caiyun and Zhao Yuhe exchanged glances, sheathed their long swords, and then cautiously approached Fang Bai, who was standing among a group of Fire Wolves.
