Adel’s Family Reunion Time

Blood Claw Chieftain, Lord Hog, had a very fruitful “scouting” trip this time.

Not only did he figure out the specifics of the plague-ridden town in the Polluted Swamp, but he also obtained enemy information that helped Murphy advance the “design and development” of the next group dungeon onto the agenda.

Even more, he managed to secure a very lucrative gain for himself through his bold and thick-skinned tactics.

Though all ten command wands were imbued with poison from Lame Claw, considering that madman only needed the heart of a vampire to help Hog detoxify, the situation wasn’t all that bad.

On one hand, while the Blood Vulture vampires would inevitably not serve as the catalyst for Hog’s “self-rescue,” weren’t there so many Wolf Poison pups in the adjacent Kato area to the Smugglers’ Woodland?

With a bit of luck, the task could be completed in a day, with time for a round trip.

Secondly, Chieftain Hog, who had become adept at trading with players, didn’t even need to handle the matter himself.

Around midnight, when Hog returned triumphantly to the beasts’ den in Smugglers’ Forest with over a thousand Elite Skeleton Warriors in a “Street Cleaning Tiger” posture, he happened to encounter his “Dog-headed Military Advisor” playing games with a bunch of dumb little hyena wolf children in front of the den.

Hog called out with great joy:

“Little Wei Ming!

Over here!

I’ve got some good stuff for you.”

“Huh?”

Little Wei Ming, who had taken a brief respite from her “inspection work” in Smugglers’ Forest, was startled for a moment, then threw a handful of candy to the little hyena children whirling around her to let them play on their own, and she herself fluttered her wings and approached Hog and his imposing Seat Wolf.

It wasn’t just Little Wei Ming who enjoyed playing with the small hyena wolf children; many young players harbored a curious affection for these yet-to-grow pups.

It wasn’t that these people had the distasteful tendency of being “Fortunate Obsessed”; it was mainly because the immature hyena wolf children were fluffy with big eyes, and even their not-yet-ferocious faces seemed like walking plush toys.

However, the Jackals were rather protective of their young.

They were not likely to allow clumsy little players to approach their children indiscriminately.

There had been many incidents where overly tender-hearted young players wanted to feed them, only to be chased and beaten by ferocious female hyena wolf mothers.

The levels of these little players who roamed around Smugglers’ Forest at this stage weren’t too high, and since the protective behavior of the mothers was instinctual, the players could only curse their bad luck after being beaten.

After all, they were the product of nine years of compulsory education; hitting a mother in front of her child, an act not even a beast would do, was something these little players simply couldn’t bring themselves to do.

But Little Wei Ming’s group was an exception.

Because they had helped establish the Bloodclaw Clan, Hog granted them the freedom to move around in all Clan territories.

Other players who wanted to get a hunting horn that could summon nearby Hyena Wolfman Warriors to help in battle had to slog through quests to farm reputation, but now each member of the Silver Moon Pride Team had one in hand.

It was a private gift from Hog in his capacity as Chieftain.

And that was just the surface gain.

The hidden benefit was that when the Bloodclaw Clan was formally established, these female players’ reputations with the hyena wolf clan were already set to “Adoration.”

As long as Hog remained a Chieftain, Smugglers’ Forest was as good as a “player base” for the Silver Moon Pride Team; they could even suggest the direction of clan development to Hog and participate in managing the Bloodclaw Clan’s affairs, although they currently had no plans to do so.

With few in number, they couldn’t spare dedicated people to help Hog with management like other teams could; at most, they would offer advice to the Chieftain.

Furthermore, their “privileges” in the Bloodclaw Clan had even been recognized by the game’s development team.

For instance, the registration information at the Crimson Castle Administrative Office didn’t list the Bloodclaw Clan as an independent force.

Instead, these hyena wolf people were marked as “Warrior Escorts,” more specifically, their “Spokespeople” at the Crimson Castle were the few sisters of the Silver Moon Pride Team.

This essentially bound the Bloodclaw Clan and the girls deeply together from a plot perspective; any future plot development involving the hyena wolf clan wouldn’t lack the presence of the Silver Moon Group.

Of course, considering size issues, the rising Bloodclaw Clan could not yet play a unique role in advancing Transylvania’s major plotlines, but the feedback of benefits to the Silver Moon Team was significant.

Nevertheless, the potential benefits of personally nurturing a plot force were still enough to make other teams envious.

Players could see that as the influence of the Crimson Castle continued to expand across Transylvania, the Bloodclaw Clan would inevitably continue to grow with this expansion.

As long as they existed long enough, they would bring a continuous stream of subsequent benefits to the Silver Moon Pride Team.

It was like raising a goose that laid golden eggs.

The success of the sister team also inspired other player teams, with at least the student groups now starting to look for individuals like Hog in the Kato area.

The Happy Stick’s team also had an advantage in this area, as Happy Stick had just acquired a “Blood Descendant,” Melia Colando, who was clearly another “plot character.” Stick Brother guessed that if Melia’s plot continued to progress, he and his team might soon be able to start a “rebuilding mission” for the Gray Claw Faction.
