Chapter 540: Capturing Giant Wolves
The alpha wolf’s collapse seemed to trigger a chain reaction.
The Giant Wolves that had eaten the fresh meat all staggered and then fell to the ground, feeling utterly disoriented.
“They’re down?”
“All of them!”
The wolfmen, with their keen night vision, clearly observed the situation outside in the darkness.
After confirming that all the Giant Wolves had collapsed, the lurking wolfmen emerged.
Li Ke waved his hand, his voice a mix of excitement and urgency.
“Quickly, everyone move fast! Carry all these Giant Wolves back!”
Capturing Giant Wolves, though requiring effort, wasn’t overly difficult, especially with the specialized formula.
By simply soaking fresh meat in a concoction prepared with the formula for half a day, then retrieving it, the meat would acquire a special scent that repelled other beasts but was irresistibly alluring to Giant Wolves.
This scent could also travel quite far.
Giant Wolves, with their keen sense of smell, would quickly track it down.
Once they consumed the doctored meat, as the drug took effect, the Giant Wolves would soon feel weak and fall unconscious.
At that point, the lurking wolfmen merely needed to carry the unconscious Giant Wolves back to the prepared Giant Wolf Den.
Gazing at the massive Giant Wolves, Li Ke felt his heart pound uncontrollably, brimming with excitement.
This time, their wolf tribe was truly about to rise!
With this surging emotion, Li Ke’s reverence for Luo Ji grew even stronger.
Their progress was immediately reported to Luo Ji, who was naturally overjoyed by the news.
Swift Wolf Warriors and Wolf Riders, he had always held high expectations for these two special wolf tribe units.
At the same time, he was very curious about the Giant Wolf mounts for the Wolf Riders.
Once Luo Ji’s interest was piqued, there was no stopping him.
He immediately decided to personally visit the wolf tribe.
While inspecting the development of the beastman tribe, he also wanted to see what these so-called Giant Wolves truly looked like.
“Your Majesty, where are you off to?”
Just as he stepped out of the Hall of Political Affairs, he ran into Gawain, who was heading his way.
Over time, Gawain no longer used the informal “my lord.”
After all, such a player-specific address would sound strange and out of place in Myriad World Civilization.
Moreover, his current status was strictly Luo Ji’s subordinate.
Out of a sense of duty, Gawain smartly switched to addressing him as “Your Majesty.”
“Oh, Gawain.”
Luo Ji said casually, glancing at him.
“I’m heading to the beastman tribe. Do you need something?”
Since Gawain began following him, Luo Ji had always treated him well.
As he had said initially, they were, after all, of the same kind.
As long as Gawain diligently served him, Luo Ji wouldn’t bother him for no reason.
Gawain had clearly figured out this aspect of Luo Ji’s character.
Coupled with their shared background, even though he now called him “Your Majesty,” his manner of speaking wasn’t as utterly deferential as others.
Upon hearing that Luo Ji was going to the beastman tribe, Gawain’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Your Majesty is going to the beastman tribe? Please take me along! I’d like to see it for myself.”
During this period, Gawain, who had been frequenting various restaurants, had naturally learned about the existence of beastmen in Myriad World Civilization from the storytellers.
He was very curious about what beastmen looked like.
However, beastmen and humans didn’t interact very closely.
Beastmen were often seen in White River City, Giant Wood City, and Azure Water Lake City, which were closer to the beastman tribe.
But Mirror City was farther away, so unless Luo Ji summoned them, beastmen were rarely seen under normal circumstances.
“Oh, alright then.”
Luo Ji seemed indifferent to Gawain’s request.
It wasn’t a big deal anyway.
The only difference in bringing Gawain along was that it wouldn’t be convenient to ride horses.
After all, with their short stature, goblins’ short legs couldn’t even reach the stirrups when on horseback, so how could they ride?
Gawain himself clearly understood this.
After Luo Ji agreed, he eagerly instructed his goblins to prepare a carriage.
“Your Majesty, perhaps you’d like to try our goblin tech carriage?”
Unlike the carriages of their ancient Celestial Dynasty, the carriages produced by Gawain’s goblin civilization had a style more akin to those of medieval Europe.
The entire enclosed carriage was very spacious, and it even had proper doors.
When the door opened, Luo Ji could clearly see two rows of seats inside, arranged for passengers to sit facing each other and chat.
The seats were also covered in soft animal fur, looking quite luxurious.
Upon entering the carriage, Luo Ji settled into a seat.
The unexpectedly soft sensation of the fur cushion made his eyebrows twitch slightly.
“Is it filled with cotton?”
“Your Majesty is brilliant…”
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Luo Ji quickly cut him off, seeing Gawain about to launch into another bout of flattery.
“Save the flattery and get to the point!”
Gawain, now familiar with Luo Ji’s personality, wasn’t too afraid, and he chuckled.
“It’s not cotton, it’s goose down.”
“Hoh, you’re quite extravagant?”
Luo Ji teased Gawain.
Goose down was far more expensive than cotton.
Gawain scratched the back of his head, looking a little embarrassed.
“Well, I’m still a Goblin King, after all. My personal carriage can’t be too shabby.”
As they spoke, the carriage had already left Mirror City.
Luo Ji glanced out the window, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes again.
“This carriage is quite fast, and it’s so stable even at this speed, not much bumping.”
Luo Ji typically disliked riding in carriages for two reasons.
Firstly, carriages weren’t as fast as riding a horse directly; he could probably make two trips on Liaoyuan Huo in the time it took a carriage to make one.
His time was precious, and carriages significantly impacted efficiency.
Secondly, carriages were too bumpy; a ride would leave him feeling shaken, making it less comfortable than riding a horse.
Gawain’s carriage wasn’t entirely bump-free, but the amount of bumping was very small, not enough to make one uncomfortable.
Hearing this, Gawain grinned proudly.
“Why else would it be our goblin tech carriage?”
“Your Majesty, this carriage has been specially treated for shock absorption. Plus, with this goose down cushion we’re sitting on, it further reduces the feeling of bumps.”
“Also, the axle and wheel sections have been scientifically redesigned. Though more complex, it allows the carriage to run much faster than ordinary ones!”
