Oh My God! Earthlings are Insane! Chapter 1289 - The Supreme Goal

Chapter 1289: The Supreme Goal

Currently, both Meng Chao and “Jackal” Ka.n.u.s had found something incredible in each other. Their faces were full of question marks.

After their thoughts raced, they chose to hide their confusion at the same, at least maintaining a tacit understanding on the surface.

Simultaneously, Meng Chao keenly felt that when the Wolf King discovered his ident.i.ty as an Earthling, his hostility had greatly subsided, and his gaze had changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

Earlier, the Wolf King had gazed at him as though he was looking at the most dangerous enemy, and he would not hesitate to stab this enemy’s waist with a knife at the first opportunity.

Now, however, the Wolf King looked at Meng Chao as if he was looking at a juicy piece of meat. He was calculating how much value he could squeeze out of this meat.

Meng Chao was familiar with that kind of gaze because he was looking at the Wolf King with the same gaze.

At that moment, the sound of orderly footsteps came from the depths of the smoke around the two of them.

Meng Chao and the Wolf King felt a chill in their hearts concurrently.

They gestured for the other party to hide.

It was strange. Meng Chao felt that the Wolf King’s gesture also gave him a very familiar feeling.

It was as if the two of them could communicate freely using sign language without having to speak.

Affected by the Angel of Strength’s self-explosion, the entire land was like a frozen sea, full of ripples and folds.

Many parts of the soil had been overturned, revealing gullies that were several meters deep.

The two of them easily hid in the depths of a gully and covered themselves with a thin layer of soil, disguising themselves as real mounds of soil.

In the mounds of soil, their sharp eyes swept back and forth, gradually piercing the smoke and outlining the two teams of orc warriors.

As expected, the Lion King and Tiger King had temporarily stopped fighting.

They had gathered all the defeated soldiers who had survived the Angel of Strength’s self-destruction and formed two battle teams again.

These lion and tiger warriors had been heavily wounded by the evil energy contamination, the surging totem power around their bodies had been greatly weakened, and their totem armors had also become tattered.

Despite that, the bone-piercing stimulation had also raised their ferocity to the extreme, triggering the fighting will of a cornered beast.

They were searching in the mist.

It was unknown whether they were searching for the remains of evil energy puppets that had not been completely destroyed in an attempt to collect precious crystals from the enemy, or…

They were searching for the Wolf King and the guy who had attracted a large number of the evil energy puppet remains and almost led them to their doom.

However, the team of fierce lion warriors and team of fierce tiger warriors kept their distance from each other. Sparks popped up from time to time when they looked at each other.

Judging from their hostility and brooding looks, it was obvious that they could not separate themselves from the “ambush and ambushed” situation from earlier.

Both of them were seriously injured and had lost a lot of resources as well as manpower. Plus, it was likely that a third force with ulterior motives was lurking outside the smoke.

If it were not for those facts, the fierce lion warriors and tiger warriors would have likely fought at any moment and “renewed their relationship.”

Even so, they had the absolute advantage in numbers. They slowly searched Meng Chao and the Wolf King’s hiding places from the left and right. The orc warriors who did not leave a single gully unchecked still brought great trouble.

Meng Chao and the Wolf King looked at each other.

The two of them quickly made hand gestures.

The Wolf King suggested that the two of them strike first to catch the others off guard.

With their strength, they could possibly kill their opponent completely before the Lion King and Tiger King arrived.

However, Meng Chao felt that it was not safe to do so. It was better to clench his teeth and go into hiding. With these lion and tiger warriors still suffering from the interference of the self-explosion, their spirit energy and blood were boiling. Besides, they were dizzy, and there was an eight to ninety percent chance that the both of them would not be discovered.

After a series of exchanges, both of them frowned at the same time. Deep confusion appeared in their eyes once again. They did not understand why they could be so tacit with each other. They could communicate so much information with just their gestures.

Thinking about how Meng Chao could easily invade the Wolf King’s brain and steal his visual, as well as auditory signals, it seemed that he had not merely relied on the Ancient Dream Saintess’ amplification…

However, now was not the right time to think about those problems.

The two teams of lion and tiger warriors were approaching them.

Just as their pupils contracted simultaneously and they were about to make a decision, a sudden roar and the sound of intense fighting came from the distant smoke.

It seemed that a few wolf warriors had been running frantically, but they were blocked by the lion and tiger warriors. The conflict between the two sides instantly heated up.

The two lion and tiger warrior teams that were about to step into Meng Chao and the Wolf King’s range were shocked when they heard the sound. They immediately turned their guns and rushed toward the source of the fighting sound.

Meng Chao and the Wolf King breathed a sigh of relief in unison.

“What should we do?”

Meng Chao perked up his ears and paused for a while. Then he said in a low voice, “Your last few subordinates seem to be besieged by the lion and tiger warriors. Should we go and rescue them?”

“No need.”

The Wolf King closed his eyes. Through the fierce fighting and the shrill screams, he outlined the battlefield in the distance.

A moment later, he opened his long and narrow eyes and shook his head calmly. “We should hurry up and go to the top of the Holy Mountain. Both the Lion King and Tiger King know how to open the Holy Mountain temple. Those wolf warriors are just bait. The bait has to be real enough to attract them.

“Next, we can only compete to see who’s faster.

“If we can seize every second and enter the Holy Mountain temple before the next s.p.a.ce change, we will be able to buy four to six hours more time than the Lion King and Tiger King. Perhaps, this is the key to our success in seizing the ancestral spirits’ heritage!”

“What about your subordinates?”

Meng Chao deliberately said, “I think that it must be challenging for you to create such an outstanding team of wolf and gnoll warriors. You must have poured an ocean of resources on them.

“And since they are willing to follow you to the depths of the Holy Mountain to carry out the dangerous mission of plotting against the Lion King and Tiger King at the same time, they must be loyal to you and trust you to the extreme.

“So, are you going to watch this group of loyal warriors die tragically by the Lion King’s fangs and the Tiger King’s sharp claws?”

“Hmph…”

The Wolf King sneered and bared his fangs. “Picturesque Orchid Lake’s glory was forged from endless flowing blood. Every one of my subordinates has know from the beginning what they have to do and what kind of danger they will face. They would even fall into disrepute and eternal d.a.m.nation.

“However, for our supreme goal, they… no, we are already prepared. They are willing to sacrifice everything at any time. Even if they die without a burial ground, even if our names don’t appear in any war epic, even if our souls aren’t allowed to enter our ancestral spirit’s palace!”

To the Turan orcs, for their “souls to not be allowed to enter their ancestral spirit’s palace” was the most serious curse.

The Wolf King’s words and determination that came from the bottom of his heart when he spoke stunned Meng Chao.

“Supreme goal? What is that?”

Meng Chao could not help but probe. “To help you defeat the Lion King, Tiger King, and all the compet.i.tors from the five great clans to become the War Chief and the Turan King?”

“That is only the first step to achieving the goal.”

The Wolf King looked at Meng Chao deeply and said with an extremely serious expression, “Listen, I know that you absolutely won’t believe my words right now, and I also know what you really think of me.

“After saving the Ancient Dream Saintess and seeing through all my arrangements in the Red-gold City and the depths of the Holy Mountain, you must think of me as a sinister and cunning ambitious person. You think that I’m a guy who’s skilled at persevering and backstabbing, a b*stard who will do anything to achieve his goal, a schemer who treats everyone as chess pieces and chips, a schemer who works with you on the surface, but in reality is constantly calculating how to kill his opponent, a mastermind, a butcher, and a devil.”

“Uh..”

Meng Chao said, “You’re going too far, Wolf King. Don’t look down on yourself so much. You’re not that bad.”

“No, I’m indeed that bad.”

The Wolf king calmly said, “However, as long as you’re lucky enough not to die in the following days, one day you’ll understand that only by being this bad can you save everyone.”

“Save everyone?”

Meng Chao frowned.

In the Turan vocabulary, which advocated killing, loved destruction, and loved death, “save” was a very strange and difficult word.

Yet, when it came out of the Wolf King’s mouth, it sounded so natural and smooth.

It was as if he had said it countless times.

“So, the Wolf King’s goal is to save all of the Turan people?”

Meng Chao thought to himself that such an idea was a little unconventional for the Turan orc.

It was completely different from the Doomsday Wolf’s character in the later generations!

“It is to save everyone…”

The Wolf King stubbornly emphasized the p.r.o.nunciation of that particular word.

Then, he climbed up from the ravine and casually said, “Let’s go. Oh, right, I haven’t asked you your name. Although you can’t tell me your real name, you should at least have a code name.”

“My name is…”

Meng Chao thought for a moment and said, “Reaper.”

“Reaper…”

“Jackal” Ka.n.u.s repeated the name a few times, and confusion appeared in his eyes again. He muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear, “How strange.. Why have I never heard of this name before?”
