After a slight hesitation, Xiao Jie still didn’t oppose.
"I think it’s better for everyone to decide by voting."
Hidden Dragon said nothing; it was just like saying nothing at all.
In his heart, Xiao Jie thought, I definitely don’t want such a big responsibility, but opposing it isn’t going to happen either. Might as well just let everyone vote, especially considering everyone’s current attitude seems to be in favor of fighting.
This way, he could achieve his purpose without taking responsibility... Could this be considered triggering "social niceties"?
Thinking this, Xiao Jie felt a bit uneasy. If it had been any other day, he would have prioritized everyone’s safety.
Could it be that he was still influenced by that Evil Man’s theory? Had it twisted his nature?
Then again, he felt somewhat speechless. Xiao Jie, oh Xiao Jie, what are you pretending for? Every man for himself, heaven and earth be damned, everyone here is out for themselves; where do all these pretentious thoughts come from?
While his thoughts were scattered, Hidden Dragon had already launched the vote in the group.
The voting was almost instantaneous, 38 to 5; most people chose to fight.
Hidden Dragon also made up his mind instantly. He didn’t like responsibility, but once the action was decided, he was very decisive, "Then let’s get on with it."
Dong Lingzi (obtained the Wolf Demon): "So, do you all have an answer?"
"Sorry, Dong Lingzi, Wolf King Chi Mei Jian has plagued Luoyang Town for many years, killing countless humans; I must not let it live today."
"Hehe, your words are really amusing. The wolves and cubs in my cave, haven’t they died enough over the years? When I was down on my luck and first came to the mountains to recuperate, I ordered the Wolf Clan not to provoke humans. Yet hunters from outside kept coming, killing many of my people.
So I taught Chi Mei Jian some Martial Arts and Taoist Skills, having him protect our kind. However, the killing didn’t stop, the hatred couldn’t subside.
The more you kill, the more hatred there is.
Listen to me today, if we can stop fighting right now, from now on, Hundred Wolves Cave and Luoyang Town should not interfere with each other, wouldn’t that be wonderful? Otherwise, if we start a fight, I fear that in Wolf King Hall, it’ll be a field of corpses and rivers of blood!"
"A man’s resting place won’t let others sleep soundly; Old Wolf, save your breath, let’s just get this done."
"Go ahead, President, just a bunch of defeated soldiers, kill them all."
"Give the order, President!"
People were making noise all around, their eyes red at the thought of what these two BOSSes might drop, especially after the recent encirclement that killed over a hundred Wolf Soldiers and Wolf Spirits—not to mention a few Wolf Essence Captains and two Demonized Giant Wolves, while not a single player was harmed, which was no wonder everyone was so spirited.
In front of them were just a dozen Little Monsters, four Elites, two low-health BOSSes, fighting them would be like playing.
Hidden Dragon also said solemnly, "Elder, no need for more words, if you don’t want to get involved, just leave. But Chi Mei Jian must die today."
He didn’t quite put it bluntly—if the White Wolf left now, they could just kill Chi Mei Jian first then gang up on White Wolf later. That would be much simpler.
He also commanded on YY.
"Once the battle starts, the melee group will hold the BOSSes, and the ranged group and assassin group will instantly take out those priests!"
But White Wolf was not fooled; it sighed, "Well, it seems that people and wolves really can’t live in peace after all, I hope you all won’t regret your choice."
Saying that, it stood up from the couch and walked slowly towards the people, growing larger with each step. By the time it reached the front line of wolves, what was once a slender and short stature had grown to six or seven meters tall.
Claws like knives, red eyes like lanterns, its huge form casting a vast shadow under the firelight, looming over everyone’s heads.
Even Dong Lingzi’s voice became fiercely sharp, shouting, "Since you refuse to leave, you might as well stay!"
"Attack!" Hidden Dragon and Dong Lingzi shouted almost simultaneously.
