Chapter 27 Love’s... Sustenance

Chapter 27 - 27 Love's... Sustenance"Alright, Lao Qin, not much time to talk. They're calling me now. We'll chat once we've found a place to settle." *Beep beep...* The communicator was disconnected, and Qin Shou's face darkened. *This guy dared to leave the city with the Dangerous Seven Stars Kill Wolf group, getting too bold.* Qin Shou remembered watching Long Xia grow up. *He knew exactly what Long Xia was capable of.* *This tag-along character, though not very skilled, had learned a bit of Qin Shou's essence.* *Not good at fighting, but adept at reading people and situations.* *When danger arose, escaping should have been no problem.* *Qin Shou wasn't too worried.* After playing by the small pond with Zhi Yin for a while, he came over to the stone table and took a few big bites of Two-headed Dog meat. The Two-headed Dog meat transformed into energy and was gradually digested. Qin Shou took the opportunity to sit cross-legged on the ground, regulating his breathing rhythmically. *Exhale...* *Inhale...* The energy was gradually absorbed by his body, and his star power slowly strengthened. Meanwhile, the only sound in the cave was Zhi Yin's playful giggles. Night fell. Under the moonlight, the wolf pack howled at the sky, beginning a new hunt. Qin Shou awoke from his meditative state and started to prepare the spices. What monster would the Sha Po Wolf Group hunt tonight? Barbaric Bull Beast? Black-horned Mountain Goat? Or the Seven-Colored Deer? Heh, just slowly wait. Patience in love's nurture, no rush. *Beep beep...* Half an hour later. While playing with Zhi Yin, Qin Shou noticed the communicator flickering rapidly. "Lao Qin, save us! Hong Cong's Skeleton Giant Lizard attracted so many Kill Wolves, we're surrounded..." Long Xia's voice was very soft, as if afraid of being discovered by something. Qin Shou raised an eyebrow. *No wonder there had been no movement for so long; they had fixated on Long Xia's group.* *If delayed any longer, those Kill Wolves would really have fed Long Xia to the pack.* With this in mind, Qin Shou took out the Big Big Wolf Transformation Card, stored Zhi Yin into the system space, and quietly left the cave. ... In a mountain gully dozens of miles away from the wolf den. "Awwoooo..." At this moment, the dense wolf pack howled at the sky, eyes glowing green in the dark, filling the surrounding dozens of yards with a forest green, causing deep unease. "Hiss!!" Among the wolf pack, a Skeleton Giant Lizard over ten meters long let out a threatening sound, hissing continuously, its dark eye sockets betraying heart fear. Next to it, a smaller Bronze Beast Taotie protected Ye Ning, uneasily hissing. On the other side, Lin Xiaomei's Flame Fox Tail transformed into rings of fire, deterring the Kill Wolf group from making rash moves. On the back of the Skeleton Giant Lizard, Hong Cong scanned the crowd, his face grim. "Where's Long Xia?" Ye Ning shook his head. "No idea. As soon as the wolf pack appeared, that kid disappeared." "Damn, that kid can run fast!" Hong Cong cursed. Lin Xiaomei recalled Qin Shou at that moment, hesitating, "Could Long Xia have gone to find the Wolf King?" Ye Ning replied coldly, "Lin Xiaomei, you give too much credit to that guy." "Exactly. That kid saw the Kill Wolves and didn't even warn us ahead of time. Such a selfish person shouldn't have been with us in the first place," Hong Cong said. Lin Xiaomei shook her head, "Long Xia is a friend of Qin Shou. I believe he's not that kind of person." Qin Shou... The two thought of Qin Shou's Dragon Beast, suddenly exchanging a glance. They had heard Qin Shou went outside the city to hunt monsters, which was why they voluntarily approached Lin Xiaomei. *Since Qin Shou was working so hard, what excuse did they have to slack off?* Going on like this, *the gap would only widen over time.* And Lin Xiaomei said Qin Shou could rescue comrades from the Sha Po Wolf group. *If Qin Shou could do it, so could they!* With this thought, *their eyes firmed,* they guided their Beast Cultivation to confront the Kill Wolf group. "Attack!" "Charge!" At their command, the Skeleton Giant Lizard and Bronze Beast Taotie reluctantly howled, much intimidated by the wolf pack, not daring to advance. Ye Ning: "..." Hong Cong: "..." Lin Xiaomei's eyes questioned, What were they doing? From the shadows, Long Xia observed and silently cursed, *Big fools.* The Sha Po Wolf group was not something to be trifled with. *Unless absolutely necessary, a head-on fight was the worst strategy, only leading to quicker death.* At this moment, he was covered with Werewolf Warwick's saliva. As fellow members of the Kill Wolf family, this saliva effectively masked his scent. This was how he managed to escape from the wolf pack's encirclement. He'd just sent a message to Qin Shou. *He didn't know if that Dragon Beast flew fast enough to save Lin Xiaomei in time.* He had heard Dad Qin was very fond of that girl. *If she died here, Long Xia would definitely end up on Dad Qin's blacklist.* *Considering this possibility,* Long Xia signaled Werewolf Warwick to be ready for rescue at any moment. *His Beast Cultivation could blend into the Kill Wolf group, rescuing Lin Xiaomei shouldn't be too hard.* As for those two guys... *They'd be left to fate!* "Awwooo!!" Suddenly, the Dangerous Eight Stars Kill Wolf howled from afar, and the dark mass of wolves lunged forward. "Awo..." "Hiss!" "Whizz whizz!!" The wolf howls echoed continuously as the Skeleton Giant Lizard and Bronze Taotie struggled to handle the overwhelming number of Kill Wolves. Lin Xiaomei's flame whip protected Hong Cong and Ye Ning, allowing them to manifest their star power within the fiery circle. "What do we do now? We can't break through!" Ye Ning condensed the head of a Taotie Beast to repel the incoming Kill Wolves, his face grim. "Hiss!" Hong Cong's star power transformed into a massive lizard tail, swatting a Kill Wolf away. "Wait for the right moment and break through in one direction." Lin Xiaomei's flaming whip sent several Kill Wolves flying, their wounds singed to a crisp. "The fewest Kill Wolves are on the west side, we can break through there..." "Awwooo!!" Before she finished her sentence, the wolf pack suddenly erupted into chaos, and a Dangerous Eight Stars Kill Wolf, towering at eight meters, emerged from the darkness. "This is bad, it's a Dangerous Eight Stars Kill Wolf!" The three were astonished, overwhelmed with despair. What had happened here to bring the Kill Wolf group from dozens of miles away? *There was no escape!* Meanwhile, preparing for rescue, Long Xia immediately pulled back his head. A Dangerous Eight Stars Kill Wolf, combined with the wolf pack's attack, spelled doom for anyone trying to intervene... "Geez... Lao Qin, for the sake of your future wife, I'm really putting my life on the line here..." Long Xia took a deep breath, hesitated no more, and gritted his teeth as he charged out of the dense woods with Werewolf Warwick... "Awwooo!" At that moment, a fierce wolf howl echoed from the distant sky. The Kill Wolves heard the howl, their actions froze, and then they couldn't help but lower their bodies, trembling as if fearing something. The three caught their breath, looking up to see under the moonlight, a silver light rapidly expanding. Accompanied by the roar of energy jets, the silver light rushed into the wolf pack at meteor speed. "Boom!!" The ground shook violently, sending sand and stones flying, instantly driving the Kill Wolf group back dozens of meters. *Exhale...* As the dust dissipated, a Steel Wolf over nine meters tall, radiating a chilly glow, appeared before them. "Beast-shaped Mecha!" Hong Cong exclaimed.
