Chapter 512: He’s Quite Active
Kunlin clutched his chest in discomfort. He felt something peeling away from his heart, bit by bit.
But after escaping his heart, it suddenly fused with his blood.
The more Qiao Xixi danced, the more distinct the pain in his heart became, until he finally knelt on the ground, letting out a pained grunt.
Qiao Xixi’s movements didn’t stop. She opened her eyes and looked at Kunlin. Strangely, she didn’t see any overflowing black-red mist on him.
’If Yun Ming were still hiding in his body, there’s no way he could conceal himself from my purification.’
’It seems Yun Ming really has been stripped from Kunlin’s body.’
Before she could finish one Sacrificial Dance, Qiao Xixi stopped. It was mainly because Kunlin looked like he couldn’t hold on much longer.
She walked to Kunlin’s side and asked, "Are you all right?"
After the Sacrificial Dance stopped, the pain in Kunlin’s heart quickly dissipated.
His face slightly pale, he raised his head and shook it. "I’m fine."
"Xiao Yao, why did Kunlin have that reaction just now when I was performing the Sacrificial Dance?"
"Host, his body was previously invaded by a monster. There will be some residual monster aura in his body. Your purification ability also affects that aura, so his body is impacted."
"Then is there no way to eliminate the residual aura in his body? What effect will that aura have on him?"
"Logically, you should be able to purify it. But based on how he looked just now, it seems he can’t withstand it. If you try to purify it by force, he might die. If the residual aura is weak enough, it won’t have any effect."
Hearing Xiao Yao say this, Qiao Xixi was finally completely relieved.
She didn’t make Kunlin go patrol outside the tribe anymore. Instead, she had someone take him directly to a stone house to rest.
After Kunlin left, Feiyan came into the house, walked to Qiao Xixi’s side, and pulled her into his arms.
"What was that all about with him just now?"
"There’s probably some residual monster aura in his body, but it’s not a big deal. Let’s just let him stay for now."
"He’s certainly eager. It’s not like our tribe doesn’t have any Wing Clan males."
Qiao Xixi patted his hand. "City Lord Huang Yue sent him. In any case, he’s a high-ranking Wing Clan beastman. If something really happens, he can be of help."
「In the mountain forest outside the tribe.」
Sunxiao slithered through the mountain forest with his long tail, crossed a river, and finally arrived near Sangze’s position.
Sunxiao came ashore, opened his tracker to check the location, and confirmed once again that Sangze was just a short distance ahead.
But he didn’t rush forward. Instead, he looked up and summoned the Wing Clan males in the sky.
"You guys fly ahead and see what the situation is."
The Wing Clan males nodded, flapping their wings and soaring back into the sky.
They flew forward quickly for a stretch and felt an unusual aura from a distance.
"There seems to be someone up ahead."
Hearing this, several males quickly looked down at the mountain forest below them. What they saw stunned them.
Down in the forest below, a black panther beastman, covered in a black aura, was fighting a group of Black Bear Beast males.
Those Black Bear Beast males were massive. In their beast forms, they were twice the size of the black panther male.
The black panther male let out a furious roar and swiped a claw at the foremost Black Bear Beast male. The Black Bear Beast male’s huge body was sent flying by the blow.
"That’s Lord Sangze! Quick, go tell Lord Sunxiao!"
Sunxiao hadn’t stopped; he was just a bit slower than the Wing Clan males.
Hearing the commotion from the sky, he looked up, and a Wing Clan male landed in front of him.
"Lord Sunxiao, we saw Lord Sangze up ahead! He’s being besieged by a group of Black Bear Beast males."
Sunxiao’s serpentine pupils narrowed, and he couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
As he got closer to Sangze’s position, he saw from a distance several Black Bear Beast males charge at Sangze together, their burly bodies slamming viciously into him.
Sangze was knocked flying.
Sunxiao’s serpentine pupils turned into ice-cold slits. He transformed into his beast form and shot forward with lightning speed. Just as Sangze was about to crash heavily to the ground, Sunxiao flicked his long tail and quickly coiled it around him.
Sunxiao’s appearance immediately drew the attention of all the Black Bear Beast males.
The leading Black Bear Beast male glared angrily at Sunxiao. "Who are you? Are you with him?"
Sunxiao placed Sangze on the ground. The depths of Sangze’s mismatched eyes were filled with a frenzied rage. But when he tried to charge forward, the power in his body was like an invisible giant hand, viciously restraining him.
"Damned thing!"
Sunxiao gave Sangze a quick glance before turning to the Black Bear Beast males.
"How did you all start fighting?"
The Black Bear Beast male pointed angrily at Sangze. "He killed the cubs of our Black Bear Tribe."
Sunxiao’s gaze turned cold as he looked at Sangze. Sangze met his eyes, his expression changing. His eyes were full of innocence. "I didn’t! I haven’t harmed any cubs. When I got there, the cubs were already dead."
"You were the only one there when we arrived. Who else could it have been but you?"
"Stop wasting words on them! Kill them both!"
’Sunxiao’s serpentine eyes swept over them. The star-ranks of these Black Bear Beast males aren’t low. They’re probably from a large, nearby tribe.’
Seeing Sunxiao remain silent, Sangze thought he didn’t believe him either.
"Sunxiao, I’m sure my mind was clear. I really didn’t harm any beastmen."
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly turned crazed. "What’s the point of talking? Kill them all!"
With that, he transformed into a cloud of black mist and charged out.
Sunxiao didn’t say another word, whipping his long tail to meet the attack.
The Black Bear Beast males had thought their numerical advantage meant dealing with Sunxiao and the other would be a piece of cake. But after a chaotic brawl, the Black Bear Beast males were repeatedly beaten back.
"How is that snake beastman so strong?! Retreat! Let’s retreat for now!"
Receiving the order, the Black Bear Beast males quickly retreated.
Sangze wanted to give chase, but as he moved, he was once again grabbed by that invisible giant hand inside his body, which pulled at him until he collapsed limply to the ground.
A cold, chilling sneer formed on Sangze’s lips. He plopped down on the ground. As he raised a hand to wipe the blood from his face, the fresh, metallic scent made his body stir with agitation again.
He glanced at the corpses of the Black Bear Beast males on the ground. "Big snake, do you think their blood is sweet?"
The words had barely left his mouth when a long tail swept over and viciously slammed him to the ground.
The colors in Sangze’s mismatched eyes shifted as he glared at Sunxiao, displeased.
"You’re trying to cement your reputation as a monster."
Sangze scoffed, unconcerned. "I... was born a monster."
Sunxiao’s expression was cold. "Tell that to Xixi yourself."
Sangze’s face changed slightly. He tugged his lips into a displeased line and slowly climbed up from the ground.
"Go back and tell the little female that after I go to Tiger Beast City, find Sanggu, and stomp his head in, I’ll return."
"Jin Ling and Xijing are already in Tiger Beast City. They’ll find the forbidden medicine’s formula. Your condition is unstable. Come back with me first."
Sangze didn’t move. "No. Unless..."
