Chapter 271 Kidnapped
The day after Lucy set out to the Orc Prairie to look for the dwarf blacksmith, Mad Wolf was invited to meet with Ironhead Commander. The meeting place was chosen in a hidden valley, surrounded by rugged rocks and dense bushes that wrapped the entire valley tightly, like a natural barrier that completely isolated the outside world from prying eyes.
Mad Wolf rode a vigorous black horse and arrived on time at the appointed time. He was wearing a set of black leather armor and a sharp long sword on his waist. The scabbard was engraved with mysterious runes, which flashed coldly under the sunlight. The Iron Head Commander had been waiting here for a long time, accompanied by several confidants. Each of them was of burly stature, and their eyes revealed the unique ferocity and vigilance of the wolf clan.
"Mad Wolf, you're finally here." When Commander Tietou saw Mad Wolf, a barely perceptible smile appeared on his face, and he walked up and said.
Mad Wolf dismounted and nodded slightly in response. His eyes quickly swept over the Iron Head Commander and his cronies, and he was secretly alert.
The two sat down next to a huge rock, and the Iron Head Commander waved his hand, signaling his confidants to leave. When there were only two of them left, the Iron Head Commander took out a map from his arms and spread it on the rock.
"This is the power distribution map of our five major tribes." Leader Tietou pointed at the map and said, "Currently, the tribe of the old wolf king is the strongest, with more than thirty legendary masters. Although the other four tribes are slightly weaker, the number of legendary masters added up is no less than seventy."
Mad Wolf looked at the map with a frown on his face. Such a huge number of experts was far beyond his imagination. He originally thought that with his and Chen Xian's plan, plus the support of some external forces, he would have a chance to compete for the position of Wolf King. But now it seems that things are much more difficult than he imagined.
"Commander Tietou, since you took the initiative to contact me, I believe it is not just to tell me these?" Mad Wolf raised his head, looked directly into Commander Tietou's eyes, and asked.
The Iron Head Commander smiled and said, "Of course. Since I have decided to betray the old Wolf King, I have made preparations. As long as you are willing to fight for the position of Wolf King, I can bring my troops to support you. Moreover, I have already greeted the brothers from several other werewolf tribes. As long as you are still the bloodline of the old Wolf King, they will not easily rebel."
Mad Wolf's heart moved. If it was true as Commander Ironhead said, then his chances of winning the position of Wolf King would be greatly increased. But he also knew that Commander Ironhead must have some ulterior motive in throwing out the olive branch so easily.
"Commander Tietou, I appreciate your kindness. But I want to know, what is your purpose in doing this?" Mad Wolf asked calmly.
The Iron Head Commander laughed and said, "That's great! I won't hide it from you. The reason I did this is, first, I can't stand what the old wolf king did. He is too selfish and only cares about his own interests. He doesn't care about the lives of ordinary werewolves like us. Second, I also want to gain more power and resources under the rule of the new wolf king."
Mad Wolf pondered for a moment and felt that what Commander Tietou said made some sense. However, he did not agree immediately, but said: "Commander Tietou, this matter is of great importance, I need some time to consider it."
Commander Tietou nodded and said, "I understand. Please consider it and I will wait for your reply. However, time is running out, so you'd better make a decision as soon as possible."
In the next few days, Mad Wolf and Iron Head met frequently to discuss various details. They made a detailed plan, including how to win over the forces of other tribes, how to weaken the power of the old wolf king, and how to launch an attack at a critical moment.
Meanwhile, at Fox Brewery, Chen Xian was following the progress of Mad Wolf and Lucy every day. He was busy directing the operation of Old Fox Brewery while waiting for news from Lucy. However, a few days passed and there was no news from Lucy.
"What's going on? Why is there still no news about Lucy?" Chen Xian felt a little uneasy. He knew that Lucy's journey to the Orc Prairie was long and full of dangers.
Although Lucy is smart and resourceful, and has practiced the Nine-tailed Fox technique, she has no opponents below the sixth level. Even if she encounters a sixth-level opponent, it should not be a problem for her to survive.
But according to the news brought back by Mad Wolf, although there has been no news of any Saint-level masters, there are more than a hundred legendary masters in the wolf tribe. The number of people at the legendary level is more than that of the entire human race.
With Lucy's strength, if she encounters a legendary level, her charm is not enough to affect the other party, which would be very dangerous.
Although Chen Xian was worried, the spiritual energy reserves in his body were less than 3 layers, barely enough to tie with the legendary realm. If he risked his life, he could exchange one for one with a semi-saint.
Moreover, in this world without spiritual energy, every time he fights, his spiritual energy decreases and cannot be replenished.
The reason why he chose to build the winery in the Langya Mountains was that he discovered that there was a faint spiritual energy emanating from the nearby mountains.
The cave on the cliff was not formed naturally, but was dug out by him in order to dig for spiritual stones.
Although he found some spirit stones the size of a fingernail here and there, they were not enough to fill the gaps between his teeth given his current Nascent Soul stage cultivation.
Moreover, this mountain is so huge that with his Nascent Soul stage consciousness and the fusion of the tree spirit, he can easily find the spiritual stones inside the mountain.
But digging a hole also consumes spiritual energy. If he keeps digging, the amount of spiritual stones he gets may not be enough to make up for the energy consumed by digging the hole.
So he could only stay in this cave every day to absorb the meager spiritual energy emitted from it. Although it was a little less, it was better than nothing.
Two days later, a secret letter was finally delivered to Fox Winery.
After reading the contents of the letter, Old Fox was horrified and quickly found Mad Wolf and asked him to give the letter to Chen Xian.
After Chen Xian read the contents of the letter, his previous worries were confirmed.
Lucy has been kidnapped.
The one who kidnapped her was the dwarf blacksmith. The dwarf demanded a ransom of 100,000 yuan from Chen Xian and his men, or he would kill Lucy.
"Brother Stoneheart, you must save Lucy. She is the last hope of the fox clan!"
"These damn dwarves should not have been allowed to settle in the Orc Plains."
Old Fox's face no longer had its former cunning look, but was filled with worry for Lucy.
"Don't worry, the other party will send me a letter to prove that Lucy is safe."
"Besides, it may not be the dwarves who kidnapped Lucy."
Hearing this, Old Fox, who looked worried, fixed his eyes and said in confusion, "Didn't the letter say that the dwarves kidnapped him?"
In response to him was Chen Xian's confident look. Old Fox slapped his head and said, "I know."
The Mad Wolf on the side looked at Chen Xian, then at Old Fox, with a puzzled look on his face.
"What are you talking about? Who else could have kidnapped Lucy if not the dwarves?"
In response to him, Chen Xian and Old Fox both showed understanding expressions.
"Old Patriarch, let's calculate the time. The first batch of Fox Wine is about to be shipped out of the factory!"
Old Fox nodded, and Chen Xian continued with a slight smile on his face.
"Then tell them that Fox Wine will have to wait a while, and we will notify you when it will be shipped out."
"Be careful." Old Fox changed his previous worry and the cunning look returned to his face.
The mad wolf at the side scratched his head fiercely, "Aren't you talking about rescuing Princess Lucy? Why are you talking about Fox Wine again?"
