Spiritual Beast
"Awoooo —"
In the maze realm forest, a loud and clear wolf howl suddenly broke the silence of the morning. In the low bushes, dozens of sturdy Black Wolves were leaping and running as fast as lightning.
Dozens of meters in front of the pack of wolves, a figure was running crazily. It was Tang Huan.
"Damn it, I've been in the maze realm forest for more than ten days. It's one thing that I haven't found a single low-grade gem, but I'm even being chased by this group of beasts while sleeping!"
Tang Huan was depressed in his heart, and cursed in his heart, but he did not dare to stop in his tracks.
In his previous life, he had seen wolves in the zoo, but those wolves were only the size of dogs. However, the wolves in the maze realm forest were all close to a meter tall, especially the one that looked like the alpha wolf. His body was as strong as a horse.
Just yesterday, Tang Huan saw a guy who should be a Stage Two Martial Disciples being torn to shreds by a few big black wolves behind him. In a short while, he was left with only a few bones.
Right now, there were dozens of Black Wolves chasing after him. Once he was surrounded, the result would be very tragic.
In the past ten days or so after entering the maze realm forest, Tang Huan had been extremely vigilant every night, constantly paying attention to his surroundings. After so many days, he was already so tired that he could not hold on any longer, and he did not encounter any danger in the past few nights, so he relaxed last night and had a good sleep.
However, he didn't expect to be discovered by the pack of wolves at dawn.
By the time Tang Huan woke up, the pack of wolves was already more than a hundred meters away. Tang Huan didn't even have time to pack up his tent, dry rations and the like, he grabbed the Fire Cloud Sword and ran.
Last night, Tang Huan had purposely chosen an empty place to sleep so that he could discover danger. In the end, this was actually very disadvantageous to him.
In this kind of area, the wolves were almost unstoppable when they chased after him.
Even if Tang Huan circulated his Genuine Qi and ran with all his might, he could not compare to the four-legged Black Wolf. Not long after, the distance between the two sides was reduced by half.
Fortunately, there was a forest not far ahead.
One hundred meters … Fifty meters … Thirty meters … Ten meters …
"Whoosh!"
Tang Huan shot into the lush forest like an arrow that had left the bow.
After a moment, Tang Huan chose a tree that was twenty to thirty meters tall, and like an ape, he climbed up to a tree branch that was about ten meters tall. Feeling that it was still a little unsafe, Tang Huan climbed a few more meters.
Then, dozens of black wolves rushed into the forest and surrounded the big tree.
"Howl!" That excessively sturdy alpha wolf howled, and several black wolves took a few steps forward, crazily gnawing on the tree trunk.
"A beast will always be a beast. Do you think that this …"
Seeing that, Tang Huan could not help but laugh out loud, but before he could finish, his laughter suddenly stopped, and his eyes revealed an unconcealable astonishment. The speed at which the Black Wolves gnawed at the tree trunk was shockingly fast. Tree debris flew from the corners of their mouths. Not long after, a circle of the tree trunk was bitten off.
At this rate, the tree, which would require two people to wrap their arms around it, would probably be broken in less than a minute.
"Howl!"
Pang Shuo's head wolf let out another heaven-shaking roar. It raised its head and looked up, its pair of dark green eyes seemingly revealing a mocking expression.
Hearing the cracking sounds coming from below, Tang Huan felt his scalp go numb.
"You guys are ruthless. I don't believe that you can eat all the trees in this forest!"
Tang Huan clenched his teeth and scolded. In a blink of an eye, he started to look around, and then quickly ran along the thick branches. After a while, his body leaped high up into the air, and landed on another big tree that was about ten meters away. But almost at the same time, the pack of wolves below once again surrounded him.
"Kacha, kacha …"
The Black Wolves that were gnawing on the tree trunk had changed a few more times, but the teeth-aching sound had once again resounded. Tang Huan only stayed for a short while before he had no choice but to change his position.
The cycle continued, and after about half an hour, the tree he was standing on had changed dozens of times.
The pack of wolves below him was completely on the same page. Wherever he went, they followed and began to gnaw at the tree trunk. Under such circumstances, Tang Huan did not dare to get down from the ground.
If he had known earlier, he would not have climbed up the tree. If he had continued to run in the forest, with the help of the trees, there might have been a turn for the better.
But now that things had come to this, it was too late for regret.
"I can't go on like this."
Tang Huan's mind raced, "This pack of wolves is really too difficult to deal with. If they stay under the tree for more than ten days and don't leave, even if they don't eat me, they will starve to death in the end. Furthermore, after starving to death, they will still become food for those beasts below."
While thinking, Tang Huan once again moved the big tree he was standing on.
"Awoo!"
The pack of wolves followed him again, but halfway through, the head wolf suddenly roared.
The pack of wolves immediately turned around and rushed towards another lush tree. In a split-second, the tree was surrounded.
"Hmm?"
Tang Huan was surprised, but he did not act rashly. From what he could see, it was very likely that the pack of wolves were getting impatient from chasing after him. This time, they had made such a move to change their target, and their goal was to lure him down from the tree. Right now, there were probably already Black Wolf lying in ambush in the surroundings.
In a blink of an eye, Tang Huan immediately counted, only to realize that the number of Black Wolves around the big tree ten metres away had not decreased.
The Black Wolf that was chasing him were all there!
"Awoo!"
Just as Tang Huan was feeling suspicious, the head wolf suddenly growled and took two steps forward. With a single claw, it slapped the slightly concave piece of bark to the ground.
In an instant, a hole the size of a washbasin was revealed.
"Yiya!"
Inside the hole, a small blue beast the size of a football was curled up into a ball, trembling, as if it was extremely afraid. Even standing at Tang Huan's position, he could see the tears flickering in its big black eyes, making it look pitiful.
"Awoo!" In the next moment, almost all of the Black Wolf s opened their mouths and roared. Their voices were filled with unconcealable excitement.
"Yiya!" "Yiya …"
The little blue beast squeezed in with all its might, its mouth emitting a tender cry. The tears in its big eyes could no longer be concealed, and a large string of tears fell down.
Tang Huan was not a compassionate person, but when he saw its miserable and pitiful appearance, he could not help but feel pity for it.
"This little thing can't be a Spiritual Beast, right? Otherwise, why would it have such a human-like expression?
"Tang Huan could not help but mutter. In this world, Spiritual Beasts were an extremely rare type of beast. They were able to absorb spiritual energy like humans, and their spirituality was extremely strong. Perhaps they were not strong enough, but they would usually possess some very miraculous and unbelievable abilities.
The pitiful state of the little blue beast made the pack of wolves even more excited. They could not help but approach the hole, their eyes filled with greed.
"Awoo!"
Seeing this, the head wolf bared its teeth and roared angrily. The surrounding wolves immediately came to their senses and did not dare to challenge its authority. They hurriedly retreated with their tails between their legs.
"Yiya, yiya …"
