Ch6 - It has evolved!

Yu Xingqiao looked at the darkness, the pair of glowing green eyes making his scalp tingle.

On the game screen, the little black ball suddenly moved. 

Jun Lu sensed danger above the cavern.

He quickly calmed down, because of the previous health potions and the signing of the pet contract, he had recovered some strength. Although the injury was still very heavy, at least it would not affect his movement.

 

He jumped gently and landed exactly on top of the Wind Wolf’s head.

“Bo Ji Bo Ji—— Bo Ji Bo Ji——“ 

From today onwards, your name will be Arashi.

 

Jun Lu said to the wind wolf.

“Awooo——”

The wind wolf howled towards the sky. Either it was because of the contract or the drop of blood it had just licked, changes were happening to its body, although incomplete.

 

As its contracted person, Jun Lu could clearly feel this.

“Bo Ji Bo Ji——”

Let’s get out and leave this place.

Jun Lu gave the order again, he knew that his demon master was still watching him. He couldn’t let himself be put in a desperate situation again; he had to find a way to save himself.
He had to show his master that he wasn’t that weak and had greater value! 

The Wind Wolf carried the little black ball on his back and leapt up from the rock cave.

It used to need the rock wall to get out, but now, with just a jump, it rushed up high in midair.

The figures that were peering into the cavern entrance scattered in all directions. 

Yu Xingqiao’s game perspective changed with the wind wolf’s jump. It was like entering a loading animation, although he was still able to operate the game, such as viewing information, the plot direction was no longer under his control.

And as the wind wolf jumped mid-air, he finally got a good look at the environment his family’s cub was in.

This was a barren land, with rubble scattered everywhere, and there were holes in the ground as if an acid rain had rained down and caused the ground to erode.

And the figures that had just appeared at the entrance of the cavern finally revealed their true faces. 

It was a pack of wind wolves.

They looked exactly like the one he just contracted, with the exception of a sharp horn on their heads, each of them were big and tall with shiny coats. Just by looking at the aura and the fierce energy in its eyes, it was much stronger than the wind wolf he had contracted.

 

Ah, no wonder the cub was not happy, so he contracted the weakest one?

Yu Xingqiao felt that he had been pitted by the system, but seeing that there were still two pet grids, he felt better again. 

When these two grids get unlocked later, he must choose carefully and contract two even more powerful ones for the cub!

While he was thinking, the Wind Wolf carrying Jun Lu had already landed on the ground, and it didn’t seem to have any intention of catching up with its own kind. As soon as its limbs touched the ground, it ran wildly.

However, the wind wolf was known for its speed, and the group behind it was its own kind and stronger than itself, so they quickly closed the distance in a short time and caught up to surround them.

The atmosphere was stagnant, and the battle was about to start. 

After the distance was closed off, you can clearly see how strong and robust this group of wind wolves were, and Arashi looked extraordinarily small in front of them.

One by one, their eyes glowed green under the moonlight, like they would pounce at any moment to tear it and its master apart.

Arashi stood on a piece of broken rock, his paws clenched into the cracks, teeth bared, with his turquoise eyes staring straight at the wolves in one direction.

The wolves in that direction parted left and right, revealing a lane. A wolf with a shiny silvery-white coat, taller and stronger than all the other wolves present, slowly walked out. 

Like it was taking a leisure stroll, with elegant steps, it appeared with the posture of a king.

Yu Xingqiao, who was silently watching the drama, felt cheated.

He casually tapped on this wolf and found that the detection was also only 10 gold coins, so he converted a thousand gold coins with diamonds and then tapped pay.

The information about this wolf popped up. 

It was similar to the information of the wind wolf he saw before, the only difference lay in ……

This one was the alpha wolf, the leader of this wolf pack.

It was at its peak state, and in terms of skill description, it was also quite stronger than the one he had contracted for Jun Lu.

As soon as he thought of this, Yu Xingqiao regretted it and inevitably began to worry. 

The cub won’t be in trouble, right?

“System, what will happen if the cub is killed by this pack of wolves?”

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

He hadn’t seen how many lives the cub has, the mall also didn’t seem to have any resurrection potions, and the game opened in the wilderness. There was no novice village with resurrection points or a cub house, much less a safe zone.

[If a cub dies, you can pick another cub to raise, and there are many poor cubs in the Miracle World waiting to be adopted by their owners.]

This was the subtext that Yu Xingqiao read out loud, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. 

Admittedly, he had only been playing for a while and had no prejudice against other cubs, but the little black ball was, after all, the first cub he had raised, and it certainly meant something different.

“I have decided to change the destiny of this cub, how can I stop halfway?” Yu Xingqiao frowned and said seriously.

[Death is also a way to change destiny.]

Yu Xingqiao froze. F$ck, can this still be the case? This system is too terrible ba!

“Can’t resurrect?” He asked, “I can spend money to buy resurrection chances.” 

Obviously, kryptonite had extraordinary significance to the system, but Yu Xingqiao’s inquiry did not immediately get an answer.

After ten seconds or so, the system box surfaced again.

[Each encounter is a different journey, instead of thinking about resurrection, you should just work harder]

[Right now, it is not a sure defeat, please do not be discouraged. If you need assistance tools, you can go to the mall to buy them oh~] 

In the previous paragraph, Yu Xingqiao was stunned. Until the end, the nature of the system was exposed.

It seemed that this setting couldn’t be changed.

There was always a feeling of unease.

At this time, some changes occurred in the game, and Yu Xingqiao had to temporarily put away his thoughts and focus on the game, ready to face a vicious battle alongside the cub.

Only to see a chat bubble suddenly appear on the head of that head wolf. 

“Hand over the light …….”

Yu Xingqiao blinked, not expecting this wolf to have lines!

 

“Awoo——” Arashi bared his teeth, just by looking at its expression clearly stated in denial.

The other wolves also followed suit and howled. 

For a while, the game screen was buzzing with “Awoo” chat bubbles, and the alpha wolf’s eyes became even colder.

It seems that this wolf is the only one who can talk.

Yu Xingqiao thought, and its target is his family’s cub!

But why? The main quest described that the cub only blackened when he suffered a huge change, could this be related to the main plot?

He secretly wrote down this clue and continued to watch the development of the plot, ready to teach this pack of wind wolves a lesson. 

The bubbles above the pack of wolves’ heads finally subsided.

At this moment, the alpha wolf emerged with the sentence, “Those who disobey, die!”

What a drag! Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but spit out.

Arashi, who was standing on the rubble, became more and more fierce. 

“Awooo——”

“Those who were expelled are not qualified to challenge the Wolf King.”

“Awooo——”

“I’m scared? It seems that you haven’t understood the situation clearly.” 

The two wolves conversed back and forth, and finally, the alpha wolf’s eyes showed a few moments of contempt. That contemptuous expression, Yu Xingqiao also began to hate it after looking at it.

Based on the conversation between these two wolves, it was not difficult to see the story behind this.

Arashi turned out to be a lone wolf expelled by the pack. No wonder it looked so skinny, and when it met its kind, instead of recognizing each other, it started running away without even thinking about it.

“Fine, I’ll allow you to challenge me.” 

“I will bite through your throat like what I’ve done to your father, and let you die in despair.”

As the alpha wolf’s words fell, Arashi’s turquoise eyes started to glow with a red tint, and his eyes were filled with hatred and sadness.

 

Surprisingly, it was revenge for killing its father!

Yu Xingqiao lost all good feelings towards the alpha wolf. 

At this time, he saw the little black ball suddenly called ‘Bo Ji Bo Ji’ twice, then jumped off the wind wolf and gently landed on a higher rock next to it.

Under the moonlight, it was quiet and peaceful, as silent as a cosmic black hole.

The wolves in the pack, however, were somewhat stirred up. Staring at the little black ball, their saliva flowing downward.

What was wrong with these wolves? Did his family’s cub look that delicious? 

Yu Xingqiao was a bit puzzled.

At this time, a few wind wolves rushed forward towards the rubble, ignoring their leader’s order as if they wanted to jump up and ……

They couldn’t move!

Only to see the shadows under those wolves feet, as if they had come to life, suddenly contracted towards the middle and tightly bound their masters! 

[Cub unleashed Shadow Bind.]

Yu Xingqiao took a look at the game log and couldn’t help but praise, his family’s cub was great!

The other wind wolves calmed down, and the alpha wolf showed his teeth with some scruples.

“Awooo——” At this time, Arashi took two steps forward and stopped in front of the stone where the little black ball was. 

That fierce expression seemed to be saying: Your opponent is me!

Its figure was so petite, probably only half the size of the alpha wolf, yet the light in its eyes was so firm, without the slightest flinching and cowering.

Even Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but change his mind about it.

Good boy! It was worthy of being his family’s cub’s contractual partner! 

The alpha wolf stared at Arashi with a deadly glare, only to see its turquoise pupils flashing with light, and a wind blade was flung at Arashi without any warning!

While Arashi was dodging, the alpha wolf took the opportunity to pounce on it.

 

Their battle had unknowingly started.

Yu Xingqiao watched nervously, ready to help at any time. 

The other wind wolves, on the other hand, acted indifferently. Like they were watching a show and had nothing to fear, none of them thought that Arashi would win.

This really would make people very upset.

Go for it! Yu Xingqiao stared at the battle between the two wolves and couldn’t help but hold his breath, silently cheering for Arashi.

“Bang——”

Unfortunately, in the end, a skinny body was still slammed to the ground. Arashi laid on the ground, struggling with its limbs, but couldn’t seem to get up. 

“Tick Tack——”

A wound tilted down from above the wolf’s eye, scratching his eyelid, with blood gurgling out and many more slashes from the wind blade on his body.

The blood stained its fur and flowed all over the ground.

A black shadow blocked the moonlight that was shining on it. 

“This is what happens when you don’t measure your own strength.” The alpha wolf looked down at it from above, and a sentence came out from the top of its head.

Yu Xingqiao was about to die from anger.

“Awooo——“ “Awooo——”

At the sides, the pack of wolves even cheered. Screaming for their leader to bite Arashi, who failed the challenge, to death. 

Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help himself and wanted to help, but just as he poked the alpha wolf’s eye with his finger, the system box popped up.

[This is a duel belonging to the wolf king, no one is allowed to interfere. Otherwise, the party being helped will be disqualified, please consider carefully whether to step in.]

Yu Xingqiao couldn’t help but be dumbfounded, he totally didn’t expect there to be such a rule!

He looked at Arashi who had fallen to the ground. 

It was staring at its opponent with a deadly glare, and its only sole remaining eye was flowing with anger and unyieldingness.

Yu Xingqiao had heard the story about wolves, which was told to him by his brother, who said that wolves were cunning and ferocious by nature, yet they had their own principles, united and lonely, contradictory and full of charm.

 

He couldn’t help but hesitate.

It was obviously just a bunch of data, but he felt that this lone wolf expelled by the pack would rather not get his help even if it died in a duel, right? 

What’s more, it had a deep blood feud with this alpha wolf.

The battle in the game continued.

The alpha wolf made its final declaration and opened its mouth to bite the neck of its defeated opponent—— just like what it did to its father.

However, something unexpected happened! 

Arashi, who had fallen to the ground and could not get up, suddenly twisted his head and stabbed the soft abdomen of the alpha wolf with the sharp horns on his forehead.

The alpha wolf was caught off guard and could not help but scream and wail.

And this was not the end yet.

A burst of electric light ran out from the base of the sharp horn and quickly spread to the whole body of the two wolves. 

The lightning flashed and crackled in the night. And although blood was still flowing from its mouth, the small-statured wind wolf was not affected by the lightning at all.

On the contrary, the alpha wolf, which was twice as big as it, was in a very bad condition.

Yu Xingqiao was a little surprised. He inadvertently swept a glance at the pet bar and found that the wind wolf had changed at some point.

The original silver-white wind wolf avatar had two more lightning bolts around it, and he hastily tapped on it to take a look and found that its information had also changed completely.

It had evolved! And the rarity had changed from A to S.

After two minutes, the Lightning Assault ended.

The alpha wolf crashed to the ground with a bang, the silvery-white fur on its body had become scorched black, and it was twitching and foaming at the mouth.

When he got closer, he could see the scorched wound on its abdomen was already cooked through. It sizzled with traces of white smoke floating out, so he couldn’t see the blood flowing out. 

Yu Xingqiao looked at this scene and did not realise that he had started salivating.

This kind of smell….fragrant.

The author has something to say.

Yu Xingqiao: got hungry.
