At the same time, it exclaimed in shock as well.
That human being could speak their language?
That was absolutely unbelievable.
"Woo…"
The wolves heard Darryl's words and bristled before stopping and zeroing their gazes in on Darryl. They were confused.
'How did that human know how to speak our language?'
The wolves did not let their guard down amidst their confusion. They stared at Darryl intently, letting out a series of low growls as if preparing to attack.
The man on the hill was caught between both nervousness and vindication.
'That slimy b*stard had tried to take advantage of my group sister by showing off his beast-taming skills! His courage is commendable, but it will not do much. He has angered the wolf pack now—there is no way things will end well for him.'
The man was certain that Darryl had overestimated his skills and angered the wolf pack. He did not know that Darryl had used his internal energy to speak the wolves' language, which caused unease among the beasts.
Just then, in front of the forest.
As he was face-to-face with the wolf pack, Darryl's face was the picture of ease. He flashed a toothy grin at the wolf king and said, "Calm down. I'm not trying to start anything with you.
"Also, I'll tell you the truth while I'm at it—the Four Congenial Beasts and I go way back. I'm sure you know who the Four Congenial Beasts are, right? So I'm telling you now, going against me won't do you any good.
"Nothing will happen as long as you listen to me."
Darryl's face was the picture of ease as he spoke, but his chest pounded slightly.
Back when he had the beast taming loop, he would not fear any beasts at all. However, he did not have that anymore and could only rely on speaking their language. What if the wolf king did not buy it?
"Woo…"
The wolf king let out a series of howls. Then, it responded in wolf language. "Honorable Master, I didn't know you were friends with the Four Congenial Beasts! Forgive me for my insolence earlier."
The wolves behind the wolf king came to surround Darryl as well, licking his hands and legs.
