Chapter 2024 - 2013: Even Wolves Have Feelings—How Much More So for Humans
Swish~
The ghostly figure moved swiftly, and Lin Zifeng chased towards the direction of the deep mountains, only to be shocked to find that Mo Xiangxi was nowhere to be seen!
"Impossible! I clearly locked onto his aura, how could it just disappear?" Lin Zifeng had chased into a large river deep in the mountains.
The water of the large river flowed down from the mountains, with the massive waterfall crashing against the rocks with a roaring sound.
Gazing at the rushing river, his eyes of perception suddenly opened, scanning the surroundings for Mo Xiangxi’s whereabouts, but amidst the rushing waterfall, he could not find his aura...
"Damn it!"
Lin Zifeng cursed angrily.
Mo Xiangxi had clearly escaped along this river; no matter how much he planned, he didn’t account for this hurdle.
"It seems heaven wants to let you live a bit longer," Lin Zifeng said coldly.
However, he knew Mo Xiangxi should not be far, although the river had concealed his aura, hindering Lin Zifeng’s tracking.
"Old dog Mo! Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I will hunt you down! Never doubt my resolve!"
A long howl, like rolling thunder, stirred the surroundings, the rushing river spraying droplets into the sky, falling like a shower of rain.
When Lin Zifeng returned to the battlefield, the battle was still ongoing, but out of nowhere, seven or eight Sub-Saints were fighting relentlessly with the handsome man and his group.
"It seems the grasslands are truly a place where dragons and tigers hide," Lin Zifeng sneered. These seven or eight Sub-Saints were quite a tempting sight.
The equivalent of seven or eight Elemental Power Seeds; now that his cultivation had greatly increased, as had those around him, what they lacked were things like Elemental Power Seeds.
"Leave the Elemental Power Seeds behind!"
Lin Zifeng looked down, and the Heavenly Painting Halberd flew from his hand as fast as lightning, quickly striking one down, causing a crystalline Elemental Power Seed to ascend.
"Such a pure Elemental Power Seed!" Lin Zifeng exclaimed, effortlessly capturing the Elemental Power Seed in his hand.
The primordial energy was abundant, much purer than an ordinary Sub-Saint’s Elemental Power Seed.
"Hey kid, hurry and fight! Damn, I’m almost exhausted," the handsome man panted. These experts had all surged out from the small town.
"Dead dog, this Elemental Power Seed is for you." Lin Zifeng casually tossed the first Elemental Power Seed’s benefits to the handsome man.
"Great, great, great, this is exactly what I need right now," the handsome man grinned, grabbing the Elemental Power Seed and crushing it with force, then greedily absorbing its energy.
"Boom!"
Lin Zifeng charged into the battlefield, once again striking down a Sub-Saint, tossing the easily obtained Elemental Power Seed to Jia Zhenjing.
"Old Jia, here’s a benefit for you!" Lin Zifeng shouted.
"Great, great, great!"
Jia Zhenjing caught the Elemental Power Seed and started absorbing it, learning from the handsome man.
Then, Lin Zifeng struck down several more Sub-Saints, distributing Elemental Power Seeds to the old man, Nangong Bing, Zhan Long, and Chen Bubai.
Distributing benefits to those around him strengthened the unity of the entire team.
Besides, if you don’t share benefits with others, who would follow you to fight to the death?
Soon, the eight Sub-Saints were all slain by Lin Zifeng, and throughout the dense forest lay the corpses of hundreds of grassland wolves, wolf blood staining the forest, while some grassland wolves, although not dead, lay on the ground struggling in pain.
Just after the victory, a young wolf with a slashed belly lay in a pool of blood, struggling continuously, but no matter how it struggled, it could not get up.
Beside the young wolf, a mother wolf with one badly wounded eye, bleeding, guarded vigilantly, glaring coldly at Lin Zifeng and his group but never leaving, not attacking, constantly baring its teeth to protect the young wolf.
The young wolf struggled to stand, but again fell powerlessly into the blood.
"Even beasts have feelings." The handsome man walked over, showing a humane smile.
Jia Zhenjing stepped forward, stopping his killer, looking firmly at the blood-streaked mother wolf.
"Forget it, let it live. These grassland wolves value loyalty and justice, no need to kill them completely."
The group watched as the mother wolf guarded the young wolf, while the little wolf’s resilience was strong, continually struggling in the blood pool.
Jia Zhenjing, feeling compassionate, slowly approached, and as the mother wolf attacked him, his primordial energy shielded him, and pure primordial energy slowly flowed into the young wolf’s body, allowing the struggling little wolf to slowly rise.
Seeing this, the mother wolf’s eyes shifted from cold and fierce to no longer so harsh or cruel.
"Today’s matter didn’t concern you, yet you troubled us. Let there not be a next time, don’t come out again." Jia Zhenjing smiled subtly, satisfied as he watched the little wolf rise.
The young wolf howled a few times and quickly ran with the mother wolf into the depths of the forest.
After the mother wolf ran a distance, it unexpectedly stopped, turned its wolf head, and those fierce eyes looked back at the group with a grateful expression, then swiftly disappeared into the forest following the young wolf...
"Even wolves have such loyalty and righteousness." The old man sighed as he gazed at the sky.
"Indeed. If wolves can be loyal and righteous, so should people," Nangong Shui smiled.
"Brother Lin, is Mo Xiangxi dead?" Black Hawk stepped forward to ask.
"No, he got away," Lin Zifeng shook his head. This attempt to surround and kill Mo Xiangxi was deemed a failure.
But Lin Zifeng had resolved, even if Mo Xiangxi fled to the ends of the earth, he would find and kill the man!
"This man cannot be left alive, no matter where he runs, no matter the means, he must be killed," Lin Zifeng vowed fiercely.
"Brother Lin, we’re close to the West here. What if Mo Xiangxi enters the West? Do we pursue him there?"
Bu Chen pondered for a moment, considering how Inner Mongolia was close to the West. If Mo Xiangxi infiltrated the West, it would be a big trouble, since the Western powers were vast, with so many neighboring countries.
The West was not just a single country; it encompassed dozens of countries. Offending the West would be a huge loss.
"Who cares! What’s there to fear! Who gives a damn about the West? If they interfere, we’ll beat them until they cry," the handsome man spat.
"The West, although lacking Eastern cultural depth, is as mysterious as the East. We might encounter Western old monsters, I’ve heard Western werewolves and vampires are formidable, I’m afraid then..."
The old man expressed his concerns, wary of the potential dangers in the West.
The Western dark history was significant; all sorts of beings existed there.
Provoking certain old monsters would be tremendously troublesome.
After all, Huaxia was just one country whereas the West consisted of dozens, full of masters and difficult to gauge.
