Chapter 97: Chapter 97 - Life in Danger _1
The Wolf King laughed roguishly. "Touched, aren’t you? Want to cry? Go ahead and cry; no one is going to make fun of you."
"Get lost!"
Qin Feiyang kicked out. This guy really is incorrigible.
The Wolf King skillfully dodged and chuckled. Noticing Ling Yunfei nearby, he asked, "Why is he here?"
His gaze instantly turned icy!
"He knows who I am now." Qin Feiyang briefly explained the situation.
"Is that so?" The Wolf King’s eyes gleamed. He turned to Ling Yunfei and said, "And how do you plan to thank me, Brother Wolf?"
"Who’s talking?" Ling Yunfei was baffled.
The Wolf King could currently only communicate through mental transmission, so Ling Yunfei hadn’t heard any of the conversation between the Wolf King and Qin Feiyang. When a voice suddenly sounded in his head, he was greatly startled!
But then, realization struck him. Only he, Qin Feiyang, and the Wolf King are here. Who would call himself Brother Wolf? Unquestionably, it has to be the wolf in front of me.
He looked down at the Wolf King, puzzled. "Why should I thank you?"
"Hehe, seems like you don’t know yet." The Wolf King looked at him disdainfully. "Do you think, with that little brain of yours, you could have escaped Steward Ling’s pursuit?"
Ling Yunfei was stunned. He had indeed thought he escaped Steward Ling using his own abilities. But now that the Wolf King mentioned it, and he thought about it carefully, there did seem to be many suspicious points.
The Wolf King said, "Let me tell you, if your brilliant, handsome, and dashing Brother Wolf hadn’t secretly helped you, you would have been killed by Steward Ling long ago. In the end, it was also Brother Wolf who went to ask the Bear King for help."
"So that’s how it was." Ling Yunfei came to a sudden realization and quickly cupped his hands. "Thank you, Brother Wolf. And thank you too, Qin Feiyang."
Without a doubt, it must have been Qin Feiyang who asked the Wolf King to secretly protect him.
"Just saying thanks is useless," the Wolf King said shamelessly. "How about this? From now on, you become Brother Wolf’s little follower. I’ll make sure you eat well and live extravagantly."
"Uhh..." Ling Yunfei was taken aback. Becoming a wolf’s follower? Wouldn’t that be too humiliating?
The atmosphere became a bit awkward.
At this critical moment, Qin Feiyang stepped forward and chuckled. "Alright, stop fooling around. We have important business. Do you know where the Bear King’s lair is?"
The Wolf King stated arrogantly, "Nonsense! Is there anything under the heavens or on earth that Brother Wolf doesn’t know?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"Would it kill you to boast less?" Qin Feiyang couldn’t help but roll his eyes. It’s true what they say: old habits die hard.
He looked at Ling Yunfei and said, "The White-Eyed Wolf knows where the Bear King’s lair is. The only problem now is how to break out of this nest of poisonous creatures."
Ling Yunfei pondered for a moment, then said, "I’ll go out and lure them away. You two take the opportunity to find the Bear King. Just don’t forget to come back and collect my body."
Qin Feiyang asked, "Aren’t you afraid of dying?"
"Death? Everyone’s afraid of death!" Ling Yunfei’s gaze was resolute, his voice firm and resonant. "But since I’ve already promised to be the sword in your hand, I should naturally be at the forefront, clearing obstacles for you."
Qin Feiyang stared at him intently. "Aren’t you afraid your mother will grieve?"
"I..." Ling Yunfei hesitated.
"Alright, I’ll go out," Qin Feiyang said. "As a son, filial piety should always come first. Frankly, sometimes I envy you. Although your life has been tragic, at least your mother is still by your side. But me? Even seeing her once is an extravagant hope." He shook his head, laughing self-deprecatingly.
Ling Yunfei was startled. "Could it be that your mother has already... passed?"
"She’s still alive. But between her and me lies an insurmountable chasm, a natural barrier that’s difficult to breach." Qin Feiyang sighed deeply, swallowed a Detoxification Pill, and then left the ancient castle.
Ling Yunfei frowned and looked down at the Wolf King. "Brother Wolf, don’t you think Qin Feiyang has a lot on his mind?"
"Brother Wolf knew that long ago," the Wolf King chuckled, his words filled with deep camaraderie. "But if he doesn’t say anything, Brother Wolf won’t ask. The only thing to do is to silently help and support him."
「Outside!」
WHOOSH!!!
SQUEAK!!!
HISS!!!
Qin Feiyang held a torch in one hand and Blue Snow in the other, darting through the jungle with lightning speed.
All around him, swarms of poisonous creatures shot out from the tall grass, bushes, and treetops, baring their fangs as they lunged at him! Their bloodcurdling screeches were enough to make one’s scalp tingle!
This is bad. There are too many poisonous creatures. If this continues, I’ll be devoured alive, Qin Feiyang’s face turned grim.
In less than five breaths, his entire body was covered in poisonous creatures, tearing at his skin. Several venomous spiders had even ripped through his flesh and were burrowing into his body! He had no idea how many different toxins were already coursing through his system. Even the Detoxification Pill couldn’t neutralize them in time!
A wave of dizziness swept over him.
CRACK!
BOOM!
Just as he was preparing to enter the ancient castle, lightning flashed across the sky, followed by deafening thunder!
The poisonous creatures on Qin Feiyang’s body, as if startled, scurried back into the undergrowth. In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.
WHOOSH...
SPLASH...
A fierce wind began to howl, and a torrential downpour commenced! The long-brewing storm had finally arrived.
Giant, ancient trees were instantly bent by the wind!
Caught off guard, Qin Feiyang was also sent flying. He hastily grabbed onto a large tree to steady himself.
Then, with a thought, the Wolf King and Ling Yunfei appeared beside him.
The Wolf King howled excitedly, "Wow, this is so refreshing!"
"Refreshing my foot! Hurry up and lead the way!" Qin Feiyang roared, unable to stop a curse from slipping out. This White-Eyed Wolf is utterly unreliable! How can he still be in the mood to shout and yell at a time like this?
"Alright, alright," the Wolf King nodded repeatedly, scanned the surroundings, and then dashed to the right, calling out, "Follow Brother Wolf!"
Wolves are naturally nocturnal creatures; night and day made little difference to their vision.
But Qin Feiyang hadn’t run far before he suddenly collapsed to the ground, completely motionless.
"Qin Feiyang!" Ling Yunfei immediately rushed forward and turned Qin Feiyang over. His expression changed drastically!
Qin Feiyang’s face was frighteningly pale, like that of a corpse. His lips, however, looked as if they were coated in ink. His breathing and heartbeat were extremely faint—clear signs of impending death from poisoning!
At this moment, the torch in Ling Yunfei’s hand was extinguished by the fierce wind and rain. For them, this was undoubtedly making a bad situation worse!
"Brother Wolf, Qin Feiyang is fading fast! Come quickly and look!" Ling Yunfei cried out helplessly in the downpour.
Hearing this, the Wolf King spun around and raced back. Seeing Qin Feiyang’s condition, its pupils reflected utter dismay as it roared angrily, "Didn’t he take a Detoxification Pill beforehand? Why is this happening?"
Ling Yunfei said anxiously, "The Detoxification Pill can indeed counteract poison, but he has at least a dozen types of toxins in his body now. He’s too deeply poisoned! If we don’t find a solution soon, I’m afraid he won’t survive!"
"Dammit!" the Wolf King cursed, then urged, "Quick! Get Xiao Qinzi onto my back! I’ll take you to the Bear King; he might have a way!"
Ling Yunfei hastily lifted Qin Feiyang and mounted the Wolf King’s back.
Fortunately, the Wolf King’s eyes glowed in the dark. And fortunately, the lightning flashes above illuminated the sky, preventing complete darkness. Otherwise, Ling Yunfei would have struggled even to get onto the Wolf King’s back.
"Keep giving him Detoxification Pills!" the Wolf King instructed, then began to howl wildly as it galloped away at full speed.
But its howls were drowned out by the rumbling thunder!
「Less than an hour later.」
The Wolf King arrived, panting heavily, before a ravine. Carrying two people and running continuously for so long had exhausted it to the point where it couldn’t even howl anymore. But it gritted its teeth and continued into the depths of the ravine.
THUD!
Halfway there, its legs suddenly gave out, and it toppled over! All three of them tumbled into the mud.
"Xiao Qinzi!" the Wolf King cried in alarm. It tried to get up, but its limbs were weak and had even lost feeling; it couldn’t move at all.
"Brother Wolf, is the Bear King here?" Ling Yunfei asked.
The Wolf King replied, "Yes, yes, yes! He’s in the deepest part of the ravine! Hurry and carry Xiao Qinzi to find him!"
After Ling Yunfei carried Qin Feiyang away, the Wolf King gathered its last remaining strength and let out a final, earth-shattering howl.
Subsequently, it completely collapsed, falling into the mud, washed over by the rain, and slipped into unconsciousness.
This howl echoed through the night sky, so powerful that even the thunder couldn’t drown it out!
ROAR!
The next moment, a loud, sonorous beastly roar sounded from the deepest part of the ravine, as if answering the Wolf King.
Upon hearing this roar, Ling Yunfei was ecstatic. He executed the Return to Origin Step and dashed off wildly!
Soon, a flicker of firelight entered his vision.
CRACK!
A bolt of lightning struck down, its blinding light illuminating the night sky. Although it was only for an instant, he saw clearly: at the far end of the ravine stood an immense peak towering thousands of feet high. In the darkness of night, it loomed like a ferocious beast lying in ambush. At the foot of the mountain was an enormous cave, from which the firelight emanated.
Next to the cave stood two colossal figures. They were the Bear King and its cub!
"Why is it you?" Seeing Ling Yunfei, the Bear King was quite surprised.
THUD!
Ling Yunfei rushed before the Bear King and immediately dropped to his knees in the mud, pleading, "Senior Bear King, I implore you to save Qin Feiyang!"
The Bear King was momentarily stunned. It lowered its head to look at Qin Feiyang, cradled in Ling Yunfei’s arms, and its pupils suddenly contracted!
"Quick, bring him inside." It turned and walked into the cave.
Ling Yunfei hastily got up and quickly followed.
Although it was a bear’s den, it was surprisingly tidy, clean, and very spacious. Even with the Bear King’s massive frame, it could move about freely. In the center, a bonfire burned, illuminating the entire cave.
The Bear King said, "Put him there."
Ling Yunfei nodded, gently laying Qin Feiyang on a pile of dry grass, then retreated to one side.
The Bear King bent down, observed him carefully for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Did you feed him many Detoxification Pills?"
"Yes, at least seven or eight..." As Ling Yunfei spoke, his expression suddenly changed. "Is there a problem?" he asked.
The Bear King shook its head. "No, no. In fact, it’s thanks to you constantly giving him Detoxification Pills that his life was sustained. Otherwise, he would have died long ago."
Ling Yunfei breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then, Senior, do you have a way to save him?"
"I’m not sure." After a moment of contemplation, the Bear King shook its head.
The color instantly drained from Ling Yunfei’s face.
