Chapter 326: Chapter 326: The Devious Nature of the Werewolf

In the world of the shelter game, at the edge of the ruins of the Desolate Canyon, Elder Lawrence and Sophia were making their way along a rugged path. They were doing this because they sensed the power of the blood moon emanating from the end of the road.Although Elder Lawrence had barely managed to cooperate with Irving and Shadow Celestial to defeat the terrifying monster lurking deep within the Abyss of Death during the final battle, he had exhausted all his trump cards in the process. At this point, Lawrence could offer Sophia only some information; he had become of little use otherwise. Sophia even felt that Lawrence was holding her back.

"When are we going to find the heart of the blood moon?" Sophia asked coldly, turning to Elder Lawrence.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Lawrence responded with a slightly trembling voice, "I can already sense the power of the blood moon. If we keep moving along this path, we will eventually find the heart. Even if the heart was once consumed by the terrifying monster from the Abyss of Death, it cannot be destroyed."

The heart of the blood moon they were referring to was, in fact, the heart of the Werewolf God. The Werewolf God had once completely controlled the power of the blood moon. When the Werewolf God fell, the power of the blood moon fused with its heart. Lawrence and Sophia had initially planned to separate the power of the blood moon from the heart using the characteristics of the Abyss of Death.

However, they had not anticipated that their actions would lead to a series of unexpected battles.

Sophia was extremely dissatisfied with Lawrence's response. "You told me the same thing two days ago. Two days have passed, and not only have we failed to find the heart of the blood moon, but the power of the blood moon we can sense is also getting weaker. The blood moon might have been completely destroyed.

Perhaps we should find other ways to enhance our own power instead of wandering around this ruin like headless chickens."

Sophia's tone was filled with anger. She felt that her actions were not befitting of a powerful werewolf. As the Werewolf Queen, Sophia believed she should command the werewolf army to crush all civilized worlds. Even if she couldn't lead the werewolf army to dominate the entire real world, she felt she should at least rule the shelter game world.

Elder Lawrence was somewhat speechless. He hadn't expected Sophia's temperament to become so peculiar. When he first met her, he thought she was quite naive, which is why he was willing to cooperate with her. His original intention was to use Sophia, but he hadn't anticipated that he would find himself at a disadvantage during their collaboration.

"Don't be so anxious! I assure you, we will definitely find the heart of the blood moon," Lawrence said, trying to reassure her.

Sophia scoffed at Lawrence's promise.

In Sophia's eyes, Lawrence was clearly too weak at the moment. She was contemplating how to exploit any remaining value he had to maximize her own gains.

After a short while of continuing their journey, they were blocked by a sudden mountain range that appeared out of nowhere. It was evident that this mountain had emerged due to a change in the terrain. Elder Lawrence looked at the unexpectedly appearing mountains and sighed. "It seems we can only take a break here for the night.

Although we are quite powerful, continuing our journey at night would be very dangerous."

Sophia was already extremely angry, and upon hearing Lawrence's words, her frustration only intensified. "You actually plan to stop and rest?! We haven't found the heart of the blood moon yet! We absolutely should not rest until we locate the heart!"

Sophia insisted that Elder Lawrence continue onward. Although Lawrence was very fatigued, he had no choice. His strength was far inferior to Sophia's.

Not long after they resumed their trek, they were suddenly confronted by a figure blocking their path. It was Shadow Celestial. Sophia had not seen Shadow Celestial before, so she regarded him with a scrutinizing gaze. Elder Lawrence was also somewhat surprised upon seeing Shadow Celestial.

"I've been looking for you for quite a while; I thought you had left this place. It seems you haven't given up on the search for the heart of the blood moon," Shadow Celestial said with a smile.

Upon hearing his words, both Lawrence and Sophia prepared for battle. They instinctively felt that Shadow Celestial intended to compete with them for the heart of the blood moon. Shadow Celestial, sensing their thoughts, smiled and offered an explanation.

"I don't think you need to be so wary! The heart of the blood moon is of no use to me! I simply wish to obtain more powerful chaotic energy. Therefore, only the chaotic artifact and things related to chaotic power are of value to me."

Shadow Celestial's explanation did little to ease their suspicions. Sophia and Elder Lawrence remained on high alert. After a moment of contemplation, Shadow Celestial turned his gaze toward Sophia.

"As the most powerful werewolf still in existence, you must be very eager to obtain the heart of the blood moon, right? I can provide you with significant assistance in your search for it. I have already taken control of the Night Blades. With so many members, they can gather the most information."

Sophia looked at Shadow Celestial with her crimson eyes, fully aware that he likely had corresponding conditions. Thus, she chose to listen patiently. After finishing the first part of his statement, Shadow Celestial turned his focus to Elder Lawrence.

"My condition is very simple: hand Elder Lawrence over to me."

Upon hearing Shadow Celestial's words, Elder Lawrence immediately drew his staff. "I knew you came here with malicious intent! We will never cooperate with you! Sophia will not be swayed by your words!"

After saying this, Lawrence launched an attack on Shadow Celestial. However, his assault had no effect on Shadow Celestial. Shadow Celestial did not retaliate, as he was waiting for Sophia's response.

After contemplating for a moment, Sophia nodded and said, "No problem. As long as you can help me find the heart of the blood moon, I can hand it over to you for handling."

Sophia's response left Elder Lawrence in shock. He looked at her with terror in his eyes. "Why are you doing this?! Don't you trust me anymore?! Do you think Shadow Celestial is more trustworthy than I am?!" Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Faced with Lawrence's incredulous tone, Sophia replied calmly, "I don't believe Shadow Celestial is more trustworthy than you. However, Shadow Celestial is at least stronger than you; he can provide me with more assistance going forward. You are of no use to me anymore. Handing you over to him in exchange for his help is the last bit of value you have to me."

Sophia spoke these words with great composure. Lawrence finally realized he had overlooked a crucial factor: every werewolf has a cunning nature. Although Sophia had once been human, when she was in her werewolf form, her devious instincts would gradually take over. Sophia had been in her werewolf state for a long time, which meant that her sinister nature had completely dominated her.

"I shouldn't have cooperated with you from the start! Even if I did, I should have kept some cards up my sleeve!" Elder Lawrence lamented regretfully.

Sophia had no intention of saying anything more. In her view, any additional words would only delay her chances of obtaining the heart of the blood moon.

"I've decided to hand him over to you. When can you deliver the heart of the blood moon to me?"

Shadow Celestial was taken aback by how quickly Sophia agreed. After pondering her question for a moment, he replied, "In half a month's time, I will return here and bring the heart of the blood moon with me. We can establish a contract. If I fail to fulfill the terms of the contract, you will be able to draw immense power from me.

Even if you ultimately cannot obtain the power of the blood moon, the powers of chaos will still be very beneficial to you."

Sophia agreed without hesitation. "You're right! Then let's establish a contract! During this time, I will provide you with assistance! If you want to deal with Irving, I will supply you with plenty of information!"

Shadow Celestial was taken aback by Sophia's words. He had initially thought that collaborating with her would only allow him to control Elder Lawrence; he never expected Sophia to be willing to work with him against Irving.

"Why are you doing this? As far as I know, you were allies with Irving before," Shadow Celestial inquired.

Sophia responded coolly, "That was a long time ago. Although we were allies then, he didn't provide me with sufficient help. He couldn't grant me the powerful strength I sought. That proves that cooperating with him was not worth it at all."

Sophia's reasoning aligned almost completely with that of the werewolves. Even Shadow Celestial felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but inwardly reflect, "Cunning and cold-bloodedness are indeed the nature of werewolves! Even Sophia, who was once human, has become treacherous and ruthless since transforming into a werewolf."

Though Shadow Celestial said nothing outwardly, he had begun to grow wary of Sophia in secret. After all, if Sophia could stab Irving in the back so decisively now, she could just as easily do the same to him in the future.

"Then we have reached an agreement! Our upcoming actions will surely be successful!" Shadow Celestial said, wearing a forced smile on his face.
