Chapter 107: Section 108: Perished by Howling at the Moon
The howl of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf stirred the winds and clouds, and Zhenjin felt a surge of blood boiling within him.
Pfft.
Suddenly, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and its howling was cut off.
It dropped its head, vomiting several more mouthfuls of fresh blood onto the ground, the blood mixed with streaks of green.
After vomiting blood, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf gasped with its mouth open, breathing rapidly.
It seemed to want to keep standing, not wanting to lie down on the ground again. But it was too weak, its condition dire, and Zhenjin could clearly see its forelimbs, which it used to support its upper body, trembling in the moonlight.
...
Finally, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf had no more strength and had to lie down on the ground again.
After resting for a while, it didn’t let the Bat Monkey treat it, but used its accumulated strength to raise its head and howled at the crescent moon in the night sky.
This time, the howl was even shorter than before.
Because the Blue Dog Fox Wolf quickly spat out blood again.
It lay on the ground again, and this time the rest lasted even longer. Its mouth and nose were frothy with blood, the only remaining ice blue wolf eye became very lifeless, as if covered with a thin mist, no longer clear and sharp.
As it gasped, its abdomen heaved rapidly, the extent of the heaving significant, conveying a deeply pathological impression, as if each breath it took was done with all its might.
After struggling to breathe for a long time, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf got up a third time and howled.
The howling sound was already very weak and lasted for an even shorter time.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf lay down on the ground once again.
A thought suddenly jumped into Zhenjin’s mind, “It’s going to die!”
The toxicity of the Green-Spotted Poison Moss far exceeded Zhenjin’s expectations.
Although Zhenjin was at least of Silver Cultivation, he was human. The Blue Dog Fox Wolf was a Silver Level Magic Beast, physically much stronger than Zhenjin.
“Perhaps its injuries were too severe, not only was one of its eyes blinded in a gang beating, but its tail was also broken by me. Afterwards, it kept running, and during the vigorous exercise, it lost too much blood.”
Then, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf howled a few more times.
The howls became increasingly deep and increasingly brief, like the cough of an old man.
But Zhenjin listened quietly, witnessing these changes, he did not find the plight of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf in the least bit funny, instead, he felt a strong sense of sorrow.
This Blue Dog Fox Wolf seemed to have grand ambitions, but it had reached the end of its life.
It still wanted to run, it still wanted to kill enemies, it still wanted to dominate the herd, but it indeed had reached the end of its life.
Finally, when it nearly collapsed, lying down on the ground, death arrived.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf seemed to sense it, unwilling to give up it tried to rise, trying to support its upper body with its forelimbs.
It couldn’t do it.
Despite exerting all its strength, it only managed to slightly wriggle its two front paws in the pool of blood.
Its already imperceptible breathing finally stopped.
Its gaze dimmed, becoming completely lusterless.
Its body lay motionless, like a sculpture.
Under the moonlight, a sculpture in a pool of blood.
The night breeze blew gently, causing its fur to flutter slightly. It seemed like the last remnants of its vitality, or perhaps its final defiance.
In the end, it was completely dead, its magic power rapidly dissipating.
Zhenjin’s emotions were complex.
Stranded on this island, he struggled to survive here; during this process, he had encountered many Magic Beasts. Python Vines and Molten Giant Turtles were as high as Gold Level. Gun Scorpions, Monkey-Tailed Brown Bears, and Blade Spiders had brought him close to death. But the one that left the deepest impression on him was the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
This was his second fight with the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
In fact, when he found the traces cleaned up by Zong Ge and his people, Zhenjin had already started matching wits and strength against the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
Afterward, Zhenjin saved the camp, supported the shipwright and others rapidly, and then accepted Zong Ge. Because of Zong Ge and the others, they held the camp, cracking the Blue Dog Fox Wolf’s treacherous tactic of feinting one way and hitting in another.
If he had made a wrong decision during this, Zhenjin might have led to a chain of failures, eventually being defeated by this Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
This morning’s camp battle was a turning point in Zhenjin’s struggle against the Blue Dog Fox Wolf. Hearing barking, he did not hesitate, relying on his intuition, he firmly caught this flaw, thus exposing the Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
Afterward, following a long pursuit which Zong Ge gave up on, Zhenjin persisted doggedly.
After severely injuring the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, Zhenjin knew the risk significantly increased, yet he still continued, willing to take the risk, his resolve still incredibly firm.
Finally, when he infiltrated the Demon Beast Army again, painstakingly performing a scene to deliver a fatal blow, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, severely injured, finally died.
Watching the wolf corpse in the pool of blood, Zhenjin felt admiration, a full sense of achievement, and a faint sense of loss.
If it were a human, he would definitely salute and pay his respects. Perhaps in his later years, Zhenjin would reminisce about this moment… perhaps, in a snow-drifted cave haven, the elderly him would lie on a recliner, lit by the glow of the fireplace, surrounded by a group of children. His gaze would sink deep into memories, appearing somewhat bewildered, and he would comment, “That was a respectable opponent.”
But the Blue Dog Fox Wolf was just a Blue Dog Fox Wolf.
And Zhenjin was not human; he was merely a Black Iron Bat Monkey at present.
The Monkey-tailed Brown Bear and the Strong Life White Rhinoceros still stood guard by the wolf’s body. The bat monkey and flying squirrel groups hadn’t dispersed either.
The exotic fragrance emitted by the Blue Dog Fox Wolf still had some time before it completely subsided.
As Zhenjin composed himself, his gaze swept around, gradually heating up.
All these were good prey, each able to be absorbed and transformed by the Heart Core!
Zhenjin was increasingly adept at using the Heart Core.
One could say the Blue Dog Fox Wolf fell largely because of the Heart Core. Without the Heart Core, Zhenjin wouldn’t even have been able to chase it, let alone implement a seduction, ambush, and beheading plan.
“Look at this Monkey-tailed Brown Bear, such a plump body, look at its muscles, look at its bear legs.”
“And look at this Strong Life White Rhinoceros, its terrifying recovery power, what do I have to fear from injuries with it?”
“The key is this Blue Dog Fox Wolf. If I could emit that exotic scent, I could tame other demon beasts. On this island, I could practically walk sideways.”
“Of course, just by absorbing one Blue Dog Fox Wolf, it’s unlikely I could completely transform into one.”
No matter.
Zhenjin was full of hope.
This was the second Blue Dog Fox Wolf he had encountered.
“If there’s a second, a third and a fourth are surely not far behind?”
Howl—!
As Zhenjin contemplated this, suddenly, howls came from the southeast and the northwest of the forest.
Zhenjin’s face froze, and then his heart shuddered violently.
He was all too familiar with this howl.
The two howls from two directions meant there were two Blue Dog Fox Wolves.
It seemed his wish was granted as soon as he desired the third and fourth Blue Dog Fox Wolves—they appeared.
But Zhenjin couldn’t smile at all.
“So, it was calling for its companions before it died!”
“Through the howl, it seems to have left a will. What exactly did these Blue Dog Fox Wolves communicate?”
“Is the camp exposed? Are the gun scorpions, uncontrolled by the exotic scent, revealed?”
“No! These two Blue Dog Fox Wolves must also be killed. Take advantage of their isolation and kill them directly!!”
A strong desire to kill rose in Zhenjin’s heart.
He could ignore the scattering beasts for now. S~ea??h the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The newly appeared two Blue Dog Fox Wolves were the largest threat.
However, when Zhenjin used ultrasonic detection, he was surprised to find that these two Blue Dog Fox Wolves were not alone; each led a Demon Beast Army.
From the images depicted by the ultrasound, Zhenjin spotted familiar figures of bat monkeys, flying squirrels, and Monkey-tailed Brown Bears.
Besides these, there was a massive type of snake. This giant snake had a sharp protrusion on its head, a very large body, and a swollen tail.
“Not good! I can’t kill them in a short time.”
Zhenjin intuitively felt that if he were to mutate into a gun scorpion again, seeking to re-implement the seduction, ambush, and beheading plan, he might fall into a trap set by these two Blue Dog Fox Wolves.
Zhenjin abandoned the plan to kill the Blue Dog Fox Wolves and swiftly left the Demon Beast Army, morphing into a green lizard.
The green lizard broke into the Demon Beast Army’s security line again, attracting the Monkey-tailed Brown Bear, Strong Life White Rhinoceros, and groups of bat monkeys and flying squirrels by constantly spraying Acid Liquid.
Zhenjin led them in a circle and then transformed into a Black Iron Bat Monkey, rushing to the wolf corpse.
He transformed back into a Black Iron Green Lizard, took the wolf corpse, and left.
Without the command of the Blue Dog Fox Wolves, the Demon Beast Army, leaderless and with low intelligence, was easily fooled by Zhenjin’s simple trick.
He finally had the body of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf!
Hopefully, after the transformation by the Heart Core, Zhenjin could possess an organ capable of emitting the exotic scent.
