Arc 5 Chapter 2 Part 2

The wind whizzed past Shen Jiayan’s ears and the tiny branches felt like whips as they hit his face. Shen Jiayan quietly leaned over the Snow-Toothed Beast’s body, gently tugging on the heavy fur on its neck.

That fluttering little drone flying in the air staggeringly tried following them, but its speed was no match and absolutely could not keep up with them.

After running for a while, the dark and dense clouds accumulated, rolling over in the sky, as if they were about to fall down. Immediately following were bean-sized raindrops smashing down from the sky, gradually stringing down in succession. Finally, it poured down in torrents from the sky, as if the sky had collapsed.

The rain came down so heavily that Shen Jiayan couldn’t even open his eyes.

What was even more troublesome, was that this rain was not filtered rain like those in the Safe Zone. Rather, it was water that had not been treated in any way. At the beginning, there was only a faint sting when it hit the body. Later on, the skin began to become inflamed and fester.

If this situation continued, it would undoubtedly be very dangerous.

The people of the Program Team also squeezed out a cold sweat for An Xin. They did not know why in such a situation, he was still reluctant to crush the safety capsule. However, if An Xin did not break it, there was nothing they could do. They couldn’t just forcibly rush over to save the person, right?

This was not in accordance with the rules of the program.

The drone shot and filmed, then the image on the screen completely broke off——the rain had corroded it so much that it completely lost its functions.

At this time, everyone, including the Program Team, had completely lost track of An Xin’s whereabouts.

The Program Team panicked and they were ready to send a Rescue Team to search for An Xin’s location. It was just then that they unexpectedly saw An Xin’s whereabouts through Mo’s channel. The Program Team finally put their minds at ease: It’s good that the person is still alive!

But very soon, the Program Team found out that it was too early for them to feel relieved.

When Shen Jiayan broke into the cave, Mo was roasting two Long-Haired Mice.

These Long-Haired Mice had always been timid, hiding in dark and damp corners which made them difficult to catch. Their fur was smooth and shiny, which had always been highly sought after by the nobility. But in this place, they were not so attractive because the meat on their bodies was so pitiful.

Seeing Shen Jiayan breaking into his private domain, faint displeasure flashed through Mo’s face hidden under the mask.

Mo placed the half-baked Long-Haired Mouse near the fire to continue roasting it, then step-by-step, walked towards Shen Jiayan with an oppressive feeling. Mo touched the thick layer of fat under the skin of the Snow-Toothed Beast, and was very satisfied with the way it felt. He then asked in a deep voice, “Did you catch this strange Beast?”

“No.” Shen Jiayan shook his head, his round eyes filled with caution, “It’s only following me temporarily.”

This man in front of him did such actions and asked such questions, making his intentions clear at a glance. Furthermore, judging from the fact that he could catch the Long-Haired Mice, it was obvious what kind of strength the other possessed.

“It’s very simple. You have two choices.” Mo looked at the Snow-Toothed Beast, which was trembling under his palm but did not dare to resist, then he calmly started saying, “For the first, since you brought it here, we’ll roast it and you can stay; or for the second, if you don’t want to, you can take it with you and leave my cave.”

Shen Jiayan looked at the pouring rain from the sky outside and slightly frowned

Shen Jiayan pursed his lips and placed his fingertips over the Snow-Toothed Beast’s mouth. The water from the space slowly flowed from his fingertips to the mouth of the Snow-Toothed Beast.

The Snow-Toothed Beast licked Shen Jiayan’s hand and shook its body to remove the rain from its fur, seemingly recovering some energy.

Shen Jiayan appeasingly stroked the fur on the Snow-Toothed Beast and softly coaxed it, “Good boy, let’s go find another cave.”

""

Shen Jiayan’s body was in a terrible amount of pain right now. Even though the space water had the effect of recovery, it could not keep up with the speed of corrosion from the rain after all. He originally planned to find a cave to rest in for a while, then use the space water to wash themselves. But now, it seemed that these plans would have to wait until the next cave was found.

In any case, he would never let this Snow-Toothed Beast be roasted and eaten by this man.

Just when the Snow-Toothed Beast carried Shen Jiayan and was ready to rush outside, Mo suddenly grabbed the Snow-Toothed Beast’s hind legs, causing it to stagger and directly throw Shen Jiayan off its back.

Mo steadily caught Shen Jiayan, his exposed eyes were dark, gloomy and unclear, “I changed my mind. You can stay.” Mo glanced at the Snow-Toothed Beast again, unreconciled and unwillingly supplemented, “I won’t roast it.”

A moment ago, when the strange Beast carried Shen Jiayan on its back to leave, Mo suddenly felt a familiar energy from Shen Jiayan’s body. It was the same as the energy that had been sealed within his body since childhood, giving him an inexplicable sense of affinity.

For this reason, he wanted this An Xin to remain. He wanted to fully understand what the energy in his body actually was and whether it had something to do with himself.
