Chapter 2120 - 1878: Taken Hostage
After killing Lang Hai, Song Yun stared at Shen Wu’s corpse for a long while.
Although they had only been together for a day and night, he had an indescribable feeling towards this Mutant Giant Wolf.
After all, Shen Wu was outside the electric grid, and it was Song Yun who risked his life to rescue him.
But Song Yun never expected that Shen Wu did not die at the hands of the Insect Spirit Clan; in the end, he died at the hands of his own master.
In comparison, dying at the hands of the Insect Spirit Clan might have made Shen Wu feel better.
Lang Hai said Shen Wu was a beast, but in fact, he was worse than a beast.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Song Yun completed the circulation of True Qi, and his injuries recovered by thirty percent.
Otherwise, even Lang Xiaoran might have been humiliated by Lang Hai.
"Song Yun, I’m so scared!"
Lang Xiaoran threw herself into Song Yun’s arms, still feeling lingering fear about everything that had just happened.
Song Yun only felt Lang Xiaoran’s body soft and comfortable in his arms.
But now was not the time for romance; he had to recover quickly. Otherwise, if they encountered other members of the Beast Spirit Clan, they would be in real trouble.
"Let’s leave here first."
Song Yun, holding Lang Xiaoran, gestured to Gu Feng.
After going through so much, Gu Feng no longer had an indifferent attitude towards Song Yun and followed his command obediently, walking over.
Song Yun and Lang Xiaoran leaped onto Gu Feng’s back.
"You guys should come along too."
Song Yun looked back at the four Mutant Giant Wolves who had lost their master and called out to them.
The four Mutant Giant Wolves, obviously respectful of Song Yun, let out a low howl in response and then followed behind Gu Feng.
With their master dead, the Beast Spirit Contract was dissolved, and now the four wolves were free.
...
Eight hours later, in a hidden cave, Song Yun’s body finally fully recovered.
Such a fast recovery speed was entirely thanks to.
This Body Refining Technique could enhance the body’s overall functions, including recovery ability.
"You’re awake."
Lang Xiaoran, seeing Song Yun wake up, handed him a chicken leg and said, "This was caught by Gu Feng and the others outside, and I just finished grilling it."
When she looked at Song Yun, her eyes were full of sweetness, like a newlywed bride.
Song Yun smiled, took the chicken leg and started eating, asked, "Where are Gu Feng and the others?"
Lang Xiaoran pointed to the cave entrance, "He’s there with the other four wolves, guarding."
"Oh." Song Yun nodded, then said, "By the way, your Gu Feng seems more robust than other giant wolves, but why is his strength so weak?"
Lang Xiaoran gave a wry smile, "Song Yun, you might not believe it, but Gu Feng is actually the guardian beast of our Wolf Spirit Clan."
"No way?" Song Yun curled his lips and said speechlessly, "The guardian beast of the Insect Spirit Clan, Sawtooth, is so strong. Why is Gu Feng so weak?"
Lang Xiaoran said, "Because Gu Feng has not yet awakened. He must meet someone he is willing to submit to. After forming a Beast Spirit Contract, his power will fully awaken. He has been in the Wolf Spirit Clan for countless years but has never awakened. It is only recorded that he was incredibly powerful once."
As she spoke, Lang Xiaoran remembered the guardian beast of the Insect Spirit Clan, Sawtooth, and showed a puzzled look on her face, "Right, how did you know Sawtooth would leave before?"
Song Yun said, "You know that Mutant Beasts have the bloodline of weak demon beasts, right?"
Seeing Lang Xiaoran nod, Song Yun continued, "That Sawtooth is a descendant of a creature called the Purple Gold Insect. Although the Purple Gold Insect is strong, it is very timid and will immediately flee after killing a creature."
"That Sawtooth was parasitized by an unknown tentacle monster, which made it violent, forming a new insect mutant beast. However, the timid and cowardly nature of the Purple Gold Insect was inherited."
"In contrast, those tentacles are very violent, and unless controlled by a master who has signed a Beast Spirit Contract, they will kill anyone who harms them without restraint. So, I lured Chong Li to attack the tentacles, and thus, the tentacles killed Chong Li."
"Once Chong Li was dead, Sawtooth lost its human control, and the nature of the Purple Gold Insect emerged, which made it flee immediately."
After hearing Song Yun’s explanation, Lang Xiaoran’s eyes sparkled with admiration, "Song Yun, you’re amazing! How do you know so much?"
Song Yun smiled, holding Lang Xiaoran in his arms, "I read it in a book."
This was not a lie; it was indeed from a book.
He then asked, "By the way, Xiaoran, Chong Li mentioned your marriage to Mang Hen of the Python Spirit Clan. What’s that about?"
Hearing this, Lang Xiaoran showed a sorrowful expression, "In our Beast Spirit Clan, there is a rule that as soon as a girl turns eighteen, she must marry."
"Last month, I just turned eighteen, and Mang Hen from the Python Spirit Clan proposed to our Wolf Spirit Clan."
"The Python Spirit Clan is very powerful, ranking among the top in the Beast Spirit Clan. And Mang Hen, in particular, is an outstanding youth, much stronger than Chong Li, even surpassing some of the older generations."
"My father values Mang Hen highly and hopes to form an alliance with the Python Spirit Clan through this marriage to strengthen the Wolf Spirit Clan. So he decided to marry me to Mang Hen."
Song Yun hugged Lang Xiaoran tightly, asserting dominantly, "That Mang Hen really doesn’t know what’s good for him, daring to fight me for a woman."
Lang Xiaoran giggled sweetly and continued, "Of course, I don’t want to marry Mang Hen. Fortunately, there’s a rule in the Beast Spirit Clan that a man must defeat a woman to marry her. So, I went to explore the Daxia Ruins, hoping to find treasures to enhance my strength and defeat Mang Hen."
