This time, none of them wanted to give in to the other. After seeing the amazing effect the water had on Brother Gou, nobody wanted to be left behind.
All these years, they had always been like this. In times of danger, they fought to be the one right in front so that their fellow wolves wouldn't be in harm's way.
But when it came to times like these, nobody wanted to trail behind the others either.
All of them ignored Jiang Ning's earlier instructions and just opened their bottles, then drank everything down. They were afraid of being slower than the next person.
"These stupid little bastards!” cursed Peter Pan. "Didn't we tell you to go one by one? Not listening to instructions now?!"
He had been so worried earlier that something might go wrong. But the way these fellows fought really touched his heart.
When faced with danger, everyone wanted to be right in front. When faced with good stuff, they also fought to be in front.
They couldn't be bothered with the earlier instructions. Once they opened their bottles, they drank everything down, then concentrated on what was happening to their bodies. They didn't dare to be too careless about it.
Drinking of this water carried its own fair share of risk, so nobody dared to let their guard down. If they weren't careful, they might lose their lives instead of improving their bodies. That would be terrible.
Jiang Ning and Peter Pan also remained on high alert and watched the wolves carefully. Even though the water had gone through a process, it was still dangerous and they had to watch for any signs of trouble.
Brother Gou stood to one side and also kept a lookout for the rest of the wolves, disregarding whether his own body condition had stabilized or not. He didn't want them to be in any danger.
In just a few moments, some of them began to groan. They had all tried to endure the pain, but the amount of pain they felt made even tough men like themselves groan uncontrollably. It was clear how terrifying the searing pain inside their bodies must be.
More and more groans and howls filled the air, and Peter Pan couldn't help but curse at them again.
"What did I tell you? I told you to do this one by one! What are all of you howling about? You're now a bunch of noisy idiots!"
But nobody was listening to him because the pain they were going through was too difficult for anybody to bear. Even though Number Five wanted to argue back, he didn't even have the strength to speak. His forehead was already perspiring profusely.
Even though Peter Pan's words were harsh, he still walked over to take a look at Number Five and made sure his life wasn't in any danger before moving onto the next person to check.
