Chapter 501: Chapter 374: Hunting?_2 Chapter 501: Chapter 374: Hunting?_2 (Master……)

The Giant Wolf lowered its head towards Duanmu Huai, showing respect.

“No need for formalities, Omnis, the reason I called you here is simple…”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai explained his plan to compete in a race against the Horse Maidens, then looked at the White Giant Wolf.

“Can you do it?”

(Of course)

Omnis’s voice echoed again, and with a proud lift of its head.

(I am the Ancestral Giant Wolf, no one can match my speed. These mere horses stand no chance. Even on grassland, I can easily catch up to them and bite off their necks…)

“Stop, stop, stop, stop… it’s just a simple race, okay? No need for dangerous thoughts.”

(Understood, Master)

“……”

Would it really be okay?

Well, even if there were problems, they wouldn’t matter now. After all, this was his loyal Soul Card…it should obey him.

Should it?

Duanmu Huai climbed aboard the Giant Wolf, returning to the Horse Maiden he had faced before. Seeing the giant, pure white creature, even the serious looking Horse Maiden had a tense expression.

“What is this?”

“I plan to ride him for the race, is that okay?”

“Of course…it’s okay.”

Clearly, the Horse Maiden was hesitant about this Giant Wolf, but she still nodded.

“Then, this time you choose…”

“3000 meters.”

After discussing it with Omnis, Duanmu Huai made his choice. Based on what the Giant Wolf told him, “Horses have great bursts of speed and acceleration, but they lack stamina. As long as I keep pursuing them until they’re exhausted, I can easily hunt them.” Of course, Duanmu Huai quickly dismissed Omnis’s offer to share his extensive knowledge on hunting wild horses.

“Uh……”

As Duanmu Huai returned to the starting line, the Horse Maidens all seemed uneasy as they looked at the White Giant Wolf – it was clear that some primal fear still lingered within them.

“Alright then, let the race- begin!”

At the shout, the Horse Maidens at the starting line instantly bolted forward. Their speed this time seemed faster…

Wait… Duanmu Huai thought he might know why.

“ROAR—-!!”

Simultaneously, the White Giant Wolf leapt into action, racing along the grassland like an arrow launched from a bow, hungrily chasing the fleeing mares before letting out a low growl.

“EEEEK—!!”

The mere sound of the growl from creating havoc among the Horse Maidens, inducing a certain primal fear. They felt terrorized by this beast that seemed to be preying on them. This made them run faster, fearing that if they were left behind, their necks would be snapped by this terrifying White Giant Wolf!

Just thinking about this made some of the Horse Maidens feel phantom pains in their necks!

“They are fast…”

Riding the White Giant Wolf, watching the fleeing Horse Maidens, Duanmu Huai couldn’t help but comment. In fact, he could understand why. If wolves were let loose during a race, every runner would undoubtedly break world records.

(Hehe, they are nothing more than young ponies. They don’t understand how to pace themselves. Even as horses, they will tire if they run at full speed, gradually falling behind, and then I just need to catch the one lagging behind……)

“Just to clarify, these are not meals for you.”

(I know)

While talking, one of the Horse Maidens, just as Omnis predicted, had to reduce her speed due to exhaustion. At the same time, the White Giant Wolf accelerated like a predator locking onto prey and charged directly to her side. The sight of the Wolf, larger than herself, left the gasping Horse Maiden looking deathly pale. The wolf turned to look at her with a cold smile in his eyes, then opened his mouth and snapped at the air.”

“EEEEK—!!”

The next moment, that Horse Maiden fell to the ground, stricken with fear. Meanwhile, the White Giant Wolf simply sped along to the next target!

With the rush of the White Giant Wolf, the remaining Horse Maidens were thrown into chaos, never having experienced such a “battle royal” like race before. The tail-enders fainted one after another out of sheer terror, while the leaders, hearing the screams of their companions, were also terrified, causing the entire formation to dissipate. Soon, the sight that met Duanmu Huai’s eyes was that of the entire team of Horse Maidens utterly defeated, while he crossed the finish line, leisurely riding his White Giant Wolf.

And behind them, the Horse Maidens lay scattered – of course, not really.

“Does this count as a win?”

Returning to the Horse Maiden leader, Duanmu Huai sent back the White Giant Wolf and asked, after all, he was a bit nervous about the outcome. The leader, however, nodding.

“Indeed, this is your victory. It only goes to show that my companions lack training. The slightest danger throws them off. It seems they still need further training.”

Saying this, the Maiden leader castigated the Horse Maidens trembling on the ground as if they had survived a disaster, and couldn’t even muster an objection.

“You all have seen it.”

Turning her gaze from the fallen maidens, the leader looked towards the crowd.

“He has passed the test. Who among you would be willing to become this Demon Beast Trainer’s familiar?”

“……”

Hearing the leader’s words, the other Horse Maidens were hesitant. Then, a small Horse Maiden stepped forward with a big grin on her face towards Duanmu Huai.

“Big brother, I wanted to ask you something. If I become your Familiar, where will you take me?”

“That’s uncertain.”

Duanmu Huai considered for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders.

“After all, I don’t stay long in one place. I travel around, and there’s a fair share of fighting.”

“So, how many places are we talking about?”

“Hmm…… On a world scale, I guess.”

“World?”

At Duanmu Huai’s reply, the Horse Maiden paused for a moment. Then with a bright smile, she extended her hand-

“Then, big brother, I want to be your Familiar.”
