Volume 2: The Source of Life Chapter 2: Spirit Wolf

  On the second evening of entering the Desolate Forest, we finally passed through the dense forest and in front of us was a barren and wide mountain valley. A gust of wind blew by, stirring up clouds of sand and dust, as far as the eye could see, all around were mud and yellowish rocks.

  As I walked further in, the spiritual energy around me became denser than outside. Of course, if I couldn't see the spiritual energy now, I wouldn't have noticed this subtle change at all. Faintly, I heard Kaka say that it was because we were getting close to the Spiritual Hole.

  "Once we cross this valley of Kenlata Mountain, we'll reach Mapo Mountain!" Lin Miao Xian said with a delighted face.

  I turned my head and glanced at her with an expression I had long been accustomed to.

  Kaka Bu explained: "Lin sister has lived here for ten years and never left the house. This time she's been away from home for over a month, it's normal to be happy."

  Lin Miao Xian glared at her with a bad temper, but didn't say anything. The strict teachings of the Ling Hun Master had deeply penetrated her heart, and she wouldn't dare to offend this holy messenger, Kakabu, in any way.

  First time on a mission?

  I silently muttered to myself, gaining a deep understanding of Lin Muxian's indifference. It was like a young animal that had just left its mother, maintaining vigilance towards any unfamiliar thing.

  "Let's take a rest first, it's almost dark." I looked at the sky and saw that the sun had gradually set, the air was a bit sultry and the pressure was slightly low.

  "It may rain tonight!" I said again.

  Lin Mu Xian Dao said: "Let's hurry up and walk a bit further. When I came out, I saw that about five miles ahead, there is an earthen kiln that can block the rain."

  "I thought for a moment and replied: 'Okay, at least it's better than a tent.'"

  After leaving the jungle, our pace quickened a bit, and after half an hour, we arrived at the earthen kiln Lin Miao Xian had mentioned. To be precise, this was a recessed cliff, about two to three meters deep, with slightly higher terrain, and when the curtain of vines was pulled over the entrance, it seemed eerily quiet on that still night.

  The wind is picking up, the air pressure is getting lower and lower, the distant sky is dark and gloomy, with black clouds rolling in like ink.

  "You all eat something first and replenish your energy, I'll go find some rocks to raise the entrance. Tonight's rain is definitely not small!" After settling everyone in, I got up and walked out of the cliff cave, this kind of physical labor can't be done by women and children after all.

  If viewed from the air, the Kenlata Mountain Gorge starts from the south and stretches northward as far as the eye can see.

  The mountain valley is narrow, about 10 meters wide, with yellowish-brown stone blocks on both sides, slowly accumulating upwards, the lower part is less than 10 meters, and the higher part has more than 100 meters.

  There were few hard rocks inside the ditch, and those earth blocks were useless. They all became mud after being washed by rainwater. I silently picked up stones along the way, thinking about my future plans.

  Things have developed to this point, wanting to quietly and low-keyly enter the Nongshen Fortress and contact the Xingzhit Tower is obviously impossible. However, for now, everything is still going smoothly, currently the only loophole is the Soul Servant Seal, so as long as Lin Muxian is appeased, everything else won't be a problem.

  Hmmm... It's actually Kaka Bu, how can this little girl not see through it?

  What is the deep meaning behind her actions?

  I'm thinking, maybe I should find an opportunity to get rid of her, so as to avoid trouble.

  As I was pondering in secret, a sudden alarm sounded in my mind, and a chill lingered on the back of my neck. My heart skipped a beat as I abruptly turned around to look.

  On the cliff, a gray giant wolf about two meters long was looking down at me with an icy gaze devoid of warmth, revealing cruelty and bloodthirstiness.

  I slightly bowed my head, my eyes locked onto it, wolves are highly perceptive, they can sense your fear. This was the first time I had encountered such a large grey wolf, but gradually, I began to notice something unusual about this grey wolf.

  Due to the need for running, a wolf's hind limbs are stronger than its forelimbs, and its claws are shorter compared to other carnivorous beasts. However, this gray wolf is an exception. Its strong forelimbs, sharp and long claws, and the thick fur covering its neck and entire body make it look unlike a normal wild wolf.

  I took a slow and deep breath, stepped forward towards it, and examined it carefully. But at this moment, it let out a long howl towards the sky, then turned its head and ran up the mountain cliff, disappearing in an instant.

  "Hmph, freak!" I shook my head and didn't think much of it, turning back along the road.

  Rumble!

  The sky was filled with thunder and heavy rain poured down in big drops.

  Inside the cliff cave, Kaka was reading a book under the emergency light, Lin Muxian was playing with his bracelet in a daze, and I had nothing to do, so I told them about my encounter with the gray wolf earlier.

  "That's the Spirit Wolf!"

  I nodded and turned my gaze towards Kakabu, knowing she would definitely give me a comprehensive answer.

  As expected, Kakabu said: "The Spirit Wolf is a variant that has been dyed with spiritual power. At first, because the Soul Master needed two door beasts to look after the house, they caught two wild wolves, but unexpectedly, after several generations, due to the thicker spiritual power in the spring eye than outside, the wild wolf slowly underwent variation.

  "After realizing this, other sects followed suit, and later even caught young wolves in the spring eye to raise them. With such careful cultivation, the ability of the gate beasts has become stronger and stronger. Now, the two gate beasts guarding outside the Star Tower have already had the strength of nearly seventh-level Soul Masters. As for the spirit wolf you saw earlier, it is a descendant born from the hybridization of the gate beast."

  "I see! Haha!" I chuckled and nodded slightly.

  The wind and rain outside are getting stronger, it's already late autumn, the night temperature is very low, although I'm wrapped in a thick blanket, there's still a hint of coolness in my mind.

  I curled up and moved over to Lin Miao's side, "Master, it's cold, let's go to sleep early."

  The cave is not spacious, and three people lying down will not be crowded, but it's also not very comfortable.

  Lin Mu Xian's beautiful eyes flashed a hint of suspicion, and she coldly stared at me, saying: "What do you want to do?"

  "I'm going to sleep, I'm exhausted today, and I have to rush again tomorrow. How can I do it if I don't rest well?" I said solemnly.

  "Oh, I see!" Lin Miao Xian suddenly pulled open the woolen blanket wrapped around her body, revealing the not-so-thick autumn clothes inside.

  People's psychology is very strange, in the daytime Lin Mu Xian always wore this autumn clothes, at that time there was no feeling, but when she pulled away the blanket covering the outside, this autumn clothes seemed to be implicit again, as if it were underwear.

  At this moment, the lights seemed to have softened.

  "But at this time, Lin Muxian said: 'Meditate, the spiritual energy here is thicker than outside, and cultivating it will have twice the effect with half the effort.' After speaking, he sat cross-legged."

  I was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly laughed at myself and gazed at Lin Muxian's beautiful curves with clear eyes.

  That night, the ancient waves of Gula Mountain surged with spiritual energy towards Duanbi. After several days, Duanbi was reborn, but the Free Heart also lay dormant.

  The color has changed from pale red to light white, and the lotus flowers on people's heads can no longer be seen. However, spiritual power has been replenished in the past few days, and it has improved slightly.

  Today I have some free time, just in time to replenish.

  I sit cross-legged and enter a meditative state.

  Spiritual energy pours in from the heavenly canopy, surging into the freely rotating heart. Time passes slowly, and the color of the free heart gradually deepens.

  But at this time I didn't know, after I entered concentration, Lin Miao Xian opened his eyes again, turned his head to look towards Kaka Bu, the two people's gazes met, both revealing a hint of bitter smile.

  P: Uh, the next few chapters might be a bit*.
