Chapter 46: Tricked
The beasts searched every corner of the house, but they still couldn’t find Lin Huanhuan.
Ya Qiu had to accept this. He said, “Maybe she went somewhere else. She couldn’t have left this rock mountain anyway. Go somewhere else and keep looking!”
Just the thought of that little female’s delicate and soft body made him drool.
No matter what, he had to have her!
The footsteps overhead faded.
Lin Huanhuan heaved a sigh of relief.
She took out all the hides stored in the cellar and distributed them to the females so that they could find a spot to rest.
After settling down, Lin Huanhuan helped Mu Xiang lie down on a clean and thick animal hide. Then, she took a wooden stick for her to bite so that she wouldn’t bite her tongue.
Lin Huanhuan lowered her voice and whispered in her ear, “For the sake of the children in your stomach, no matter how uncomfortable it is, you can’t scream. Do you understand?”
Mu Xiang tried to keep her eyes open. She stared at the ceiling and nodded.
All five of her mates were dead.
They died protecting her and their children.
She had to have the babies!
She wanted to avenge her mates!
Hatred gave birth to hope and a fighting spirit. Mu Xiang grabbed the animal hide under her and bit the wooden stick. She endured the tearing pain and pushed the child out of her womb.
Lin Huanhuan had never given birth before, nor did she know how to deliver babies. However, the other females had all given birth before. Some of them knew how to deliver babies.
Hence, the task of delivering the babies was handed over to the two experienced females. Lin Huanhuan stood by the side to help.
After much effort, everyone finally helped Mu Xiang give birth.
There were a total of nine wolf cubs.
Exhausted, Mu Xiang only had time to glance at the nine cubs before her eyes closed and she fainted.
Lin Huanhuan carefully wiped the mucus off the little wolf cubs and gently placed them beside Mu Xiang. Then, she carefully wiped Mu Xiang’s body.
The nine wolf cubs were very small, only the size of Lin Huanhuan’s palm. They were naked, and their skin was pink and tender. They looked especially like rats.
Lin Huanhuan extended her finger and gently poked one of the wolf cubs.
The little brat immediately opened his mouth and bit her fingertips.
The little wolf cub had no teeth and could only lick her fingers.
Lin Huanhuan felt a little itchy from the licking. In order to prevent her from laughing, she quickly retracted her finger and made a “shh” gesture at the nine wolf cubs, indicating that they should not make a sound.
She didn’t know if they understood, but they were very quiet the rest of the time.
When the females saw the cute little wolf cubs, the uneasiness in their hearts faded a little. They couldn’t help but smile in relief.
Seeing these little lives was like seeing hope.
Lin Huanhuan took out dried meat and pickled vegetables, distributing them to the females.
After eating the food, everyone seemed to be in better spirits.
Only when there were occasional footsteps above their heads did they tremble like frightened birds.
Lin Huanhuan let them sit around each other, leaning on each other for warmth.
The females gradually calmed down, and the fear in their hearts dissipated.
Although no one spoke, these females had already unanimously treated Lin Huanhuan as their backbone and trusted her more and more.
Lin Huanhuan did not know about the psychological changes in these females. She was still worried about the situation outside. She wondered how Lang Zhu was doing.
She was still sick and very weak. After the shock and torment, she felt her head begin to hurt again. Her muscles were sore, and her body was exhausted.
His eyelids grew heavier and heavier…
Unconsciously, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
One of the females picked up a piece of hide and carefully covered her.
…
As he chased after Ma Qing, Shuang Yun realized that something was wrong.
Ma Qing kept dodging them, but after running for a while, he would stop. When Shuang Yun caught up, he would continue to dodge with his clansmen.
Ma Qing’s actions made it seem like he was deliberately keeping them in suspense.
The more Shuang Yun thought about it, the more uneasy he felt.
He felt like something terrible was about to happen!
After chasing Ma Qing for three days, Shuang Yun finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. He decisively gave up on the pursuit and ignored Ma Qing’s deliberate bait. He quickly returned to the rock mountain with 200 clansmen.
When Ma Qing saw that they were going back, he immediately chased after them with his men, trying to stop Shuang Yun.
This made Shuang Yun feel even more uneasy.
Why was Ma Qing stopping them from going back? Was it because something would happen when they returned?
A thought flashed through Shuang Yun’s mind. He suddenly thought of the rock mountain! He thought of his clansmen who were guarding the mountain!
‘Oh no! We’ve been tricked!’
Shuang Yun was anxious and angry. He wished he could grow wings and fly back to the rock mountain immediately.
However, Ma Qing and the beasts of the Black River Wolf Tribe refused to let them go back.
Shuang Yun was finally angry.
The huge Frost Silver Wolf howled at the sky and jumped over to the enemy’s side.
The moment he landed, the fluffy snow immediately froze into ice and spread rapidly around him.
Ma Qing, who had always been calm, changed his expression slightly and exclaimed, “A one-star soul beast!”
He didn’t expect Shuang Yun to have awakened a soul beast!
After beasts awakened their soul beasts, they would become soul beasts.
The difference in combat strength between soul beasts and ordinary beasts was extremely great.
Furthermore, Frost Silver Wolf was a species that was born with ice attributes. After evolving into a soul beast, its lethality far exceeded ordinary soul beasts.
The beasts closest to Shuang Yun were all frozen by the snow.
Shuang Yun suddenly swung his wolf tail and smashed all the frozen beasts!
In the blink of an eye, he had killed dozens of enemies. As expected of a soul beast!
Ma Qing thought to himself, ‘I miscalculated!’
Almost all of the 200 people he had brought out this time were being led by Ya Qiu to attack the Rock Wolf Tribe. There were not many by Ma Qing’s side.
They were no match for Shuang Yun.
Ma Qing shouted, “Retreat!”
The beasts who weren’t frozen gathered around him and fled.
Shuang Yun did not chase after them. He immediately led the 200 beasts straight to the rock mountain.
At the same time, Bai Di sensed danger.
He immediately gave up on the mission to continue searching for Sang Ye and rushed home with Jiu Yuan and the others.
Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and the others returned to the rock mountain almost one after another.
When they walked into the cave, their eyes turned red from the scene in front of them.
The entire cave was full of blood, and the thick smell of blood filled the air.
The beasts that had been brutally killed were lying on the ground, their corpses broken.
Their originally warm home had now become hell.
Shuang Yun felt as if someone was choking him. He could barely breathe.
How did this happen?!
Bai Di barely managed to suppress his fear as he rushed into the cave and ran home.
At his door, he saw Lang Zhu lying in a pool of blood.
There were constant cries. They were the cries of the males who had returned home and saw their dead mates and family.
