"No! Don’t kill me!" Suddenly, a young voice cried out.
All eyes were simultaneously drawn to the Big White Wolf that could speak human language.
Hua Jinyan frowned, lowering his voice, "You forgot the warning I gave you!"
The Big White Wolf was already regretting it, but it had truly been scared.
This human gave it a terrifying feeling.
Little Taotie wasn’t surprised that the Big White Wolf could talk; she stepped forward and comfortingly stroked its head, "Don’t be afraid, I will protect you!"
"Little Cub, he... is very powerful." You can’t protect me.
The Big White Wolf clearly felt the closeness of death, as if this powerful, old human could kill it in an instant, and no one would be able to stop him.
Little Taotie looked at Shen Cang with those clear, clean eyes, scattered with intermittent starlight, her voice held a note of puzzlement, "Why?"
She was asking herself why she couldn’t be allowed to live.
Shen Cang seldom had his orders questioned; momentarily speechless, he didn’t know how to explain the reason to the child.
After a long silence, Shen Cang spoke, "It devoured a Spiritual Body to activate its intelligence. Being a wolf, it is naturally greedy and will not be satisfied with its current state, continuing to devour Spiritual Bodies."
"Then just let it devour." Little Taotie tilted her head, her voice soft and tender.
At those words, everyone was surprised and looked at her.
Little Taotie appeared confused, "Did I say something wrong?"
Mo Haihao’s heart shuddered, "..." Zip it, stop your dangerous remarks! We were here to eliminate the wolf, but now you might get eliminated too!
Xiangxiang awkwardly tried to smooth things over with a smile, "Kids speak their minds, a child couldn’t possibly have any ill intentions—"
Her voice abruptly stopped, as Shen Cang’s heavy gaze swept over.
Xiangxiang shut her mouth, nervously sweating for Little Taotie.
After some thought, Hua Jinyan basically understood Little Taotie’s train of thought, and he stepped forward to shield her.
Little Taotie: "..." Humph! I’m going to drink lots and lots of milk when I get home!
Hua Jinyan met Shen Cang’s intense gaze and slowly, took off the Rainbow Relic from his wrist.
He placed the relic into a bag decorated with talismanic runes, rendering the relic’s effects null, and his peculiar constitution became evident, a cold wind whistling as countless dark Spiritual Bodies flew towards the Ancient Castle’s main gate, their appearances greedy.
Mo Haihao’s pupils changed, reflecting different colors, his eyes widened in horror, "Heavens! Hundreds!"
Xiangxiang couldn’t see them, but she felt the cold breeze and, piecing it together with Mo Haihao’s words, her entire being felt unsteady, she hid behind Mo Haihao, her voice trembling, "Hundreds of... Ghosts?"
A dark light flitted through Shen Cang’s eyes as he looked toward the dark mass at the entrance, just about to take action, but he found that a small figure was quicker than he.
Little Taotie was like an arrow released from the bow; her little fists glinting with Golden Light, knocking out an Evil Spirit with each punch, while her other hand captured something from the air, revealing a piece of chocolate in her open palm.
The Big White Wolf’s eyes widened; after being forcibly fed stuff from a glass bottle by the old fellow, it could vaguely see things within the bottle, but they used to be blurry.
But now it could see them clearly!
It seemed that after Little Cub had given it half a piece of sugar, it was able to speak human words, and now it could also see these things clearly!
The dark mass looked terrifying, but the Big White Wolf subconsciously swallowed its saliva.
They look... like they might be very tasty?
