The sky above Demon Wolf Valley turned grey and there was a cluster of dark clouds that were gleaming with thunder. About thousands of meters above the Demon Wolf King, the sky became even darker, and the lightning that came from it became denser and denser as the demon energy that was coming from it became stronger.

“Crack~”

A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm struck onto the Demon Wolf King’s body.

“AWoooooooo!” (The sound of a wolf’s cry)

After being hit by the lightning, the Demon Wolf King let out a painful howl. As its back was entirely burnt by lightning, there was a smell of burnt fur all over the place.

Then, the second lightning bolt struck. This time, the Demon Wolf King who was mentally prepared let out a howl out of rage. It swung its front paw in the air, forming a black, wind blade formation which collided with the lightning.

“Hong~”

As the both collided, it let out a loud noise and sparks shot in all directions. The sparks from the lightning flickered and hit most of the demon wolves that were crawling on the ground, directly killing them!

“Uh…. This place doesn’t look safe.”

When one of the sparks landed right in front of him, Jiang Ming was stunned. He muttered to himself before walking away.

After withstanding both the lightning strikes, the lightning stopped and did not continue hitting the Demon Wolf King. However, the dark clouds above it were not gone and there were still bright lights that intertwined amongst the clouds. The initial blue and white lightning became purple in colour and it looked like the purple lightning was trying to accumulate its energy for one last hit.

When the Demon Wolf King noticed the scene, it couldn’t help but tremble with a hint of desperation in its eyes.

“Misty River, looks like the last strike is taking a lot of time to accumulate enough energy, which means that it would be a very powerful one. I wouldn’t be able to resist it. Would you be able to help me?”

Jiang Ming had actually turned on the recording function and was looking at the thunder clouds above him. Suddenly, the voice of the Demon Wolf King appeared in his head. He was stunned for a moment as he stared at the Demon Wolf King.

“What? I’m so weak and you want me to help you?” Jiang Ming let out a helpless laugh.

“You only have to help me resist a small part of the tribulation. I’m sure you’ll figure something out,” The Demon Wolf King replied.

“Well, I guess I can try, but if I forcefully try to resist the lightning, I might end up dead. Even if I don’t, I would lose a lot of EXP. Am I gonna get something in return for risking it?” Jiang Ming quickly thought about it before replying to the Demon Wolf King.

When the Demon Wolf King heard what Jiang Ming said, it paused for a moment and then replied, “If you help me get past the Purple Lightning Tribulation, I promise to unconditionally do three things for you!”

“Deal!”

Jiang Ming laughed as he nodded his head. He didn’t continue bargaining with the Demon Wolf King as he knew that he shouldn’t go too far with it. Since he already managed to get a deal from the Demon Wolf King, it was time for him to stop, otherwise, it might backfire.

As both of them agreed with the terms, the Demon Wolf King descended and Jiang Ming climbed onto its back. Then, he looked upwards at the thunder clouds and was prepared for the arrival of the Purple Cloud Thunder Tribulation.

After looking at the sky for about five minutes, Jiang Ming’s neck started hurting. He got the Demon Wolf King to pay attention to it while he reached for his inventory and took out the Reaper’s customised mission scroll.

Jiang Ming didn’t use the scroll when Chikage handed it to him before this. Therefore, he didn’t know what the mission was about. Since he was free now, Jiang Ming decided to take a look at what the Reaper’s mission was.

Then, he crushed the scroll in his hand.

After accepting the mission, he took a look at the mission column.
