Chapter 97: First Independent Hunt

On the other side, Ke Si, also wounded in the fight, heard the commotion behind and, without turning his head, said:

"Get out! Who let you come here."

"What a huge temper you have~"

The newcomer spoke with a reproachful tone, then, as if unaware of Ke Si's anger, she swayed gracefully and leisurely walked to Ke Si's back.

Looking at the bruises on his body caused by that Snake Beastmen, You Ruo couldn't help laughing, "Since you broke through the Blue Rank, this is the first time I've seen anyone wound you like this.

I heard the snake venom you injected into that Snake Beastmen was ineffective; did I misunderstand something?"

I once had a good younger brother who could dispatch a Qing Rank Beastmen with his own snake venom, yet he gave away the antidote pills that could neutralize his own venom?

Ke Si closed his eyes and ignored her; You Ruo, seeing this, snorted a laugh and said, "You're kind to Chang Yue; when he pursues a female, you grant his request."

Seeing Ke Si still silent, You Ruo heard approaching footsteps outside, a faint smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and she said a final line to her younger brother:

"Considering Chang Yue's father's favor, when you test the medicine on him, be careful to keep at least one life for him; after all, his father saved you before."

After You Ruo and the male's footsteps completely faded from his ears, Ke Si finally opened his eyes, fetched his clothes from beside the pool, and covered his lower body.

Soon after, he went to the stone house where he always brought medicines for testing.

Chang Yue, transformed into a beast form, writhed on the ground in pain; he ignored his own suffering and asked, "Do you really like that female that much? She's only prettier than other females."

Even Ke Si must admit that the female Chang Yue favors is indeed very beautiful.

But doesn't the Youbuluo have beautiful females? The snake females are not only beautiful, but also well‑built.

Chang Yue heard Ke Si's question, but he was now tormented by Ke Si's new poison and could not speak; until the poison's effect waned a little, someone forced his mouth open and fed him a bitter medicine.

Chang Yue then slowly recovered, but as soon as he opened his eyes he saw the culprit that made his life worse than death, and a hint of resentment showed in his eyes.

But quickly, when Ke Si's cold gaze fell, his body instantly cleared.

"Witch Doctor, my apologies."

His voice was hoarse as he lowered his eyes and said.

"No next time."

Ke Si sat on the stone mound, his tone indifferent, "Don't forget you yourself volunteered to be the test subject for this medicine."

For that female, he was willing to sacrifice to this extent.

Ke Si couldn't understand, nor wanted to, he was merely curious why Chang Yue liked that female.

Clearly, she had never done anything for him.

Chang Yue muttered a low "Yes," and after regaining a bit of strength, he took the detoxifying herb Ke Si had prepared long ago and turned to leave.

At that moment, Ke Si's voice came from behind, "You haven't answered my earlier question."

Chang Yue pressed his hand against the stone wall, barely supporting his body, and without any hesitation said, "I don't like her; I only like the way she looks at my Beast Husband.

My father and I have never been able to get from our mother what we wanted, and I think she can give it to me."

Therefore, for this, he was willing to offer himself to Ke Si as a test subject for the poison.

This was also his second time being Witch Doctor's test subject; the first was when the Witch Doctor wanted someone to stay by his side, and he tested poison to earn the Witch Doctor's trust.

Chang Yue does not regret any of his decisions, but the Witch Doctor's poison truly has become more potent than before.

He even suspects whether the Witch Doctor has added his own venom to the newly made poison; otherwise, given his own toxin resistance, the Witch Doctor's usual new poisons wouldn't make it so hard for him.

Watching Chang Yue's figure recede, Ke Si couldn't help frowning; Chang Yue's reason was somewhat unexpected to him.

He began recalling his only two meetings with Yun Li, yet he couldn't recall anything special about that female's gaze, only that her eyes seemed especially beautiful when she smiled.

Realizing what he was thinking, Ke Si's expression darkened slightly, he rose and returned to the pool, but this time he transformed back into a beast form.

A massive snake about eight to nine meters long, its scales a gradient of deep gray, its mouth and chin milky white, opened its black‑stained jaws and swiftly plunged into the pool; soon the entire pool was occupied by the great snake, the water rippled outward, then gradually fell silent.

……

"Whoosh"

Arrows shot out violently from the female's hand, without hesitation piercing the Gray Boar's body; as the Gray Boar went berserk in agony, three more arrows followed, slashing across its body.

Startled, the Gray Boar tried to change direction to flee, but due to inertia it suddenly turned and slipped, crashing into a tree.

"Bang"

At that moment, arrows again relentlessly pursued.

However, this time the Gray Boar was obviously unlucky; its front leg was hit, so when it tried to fling its hooves to escape quickly, the injury delayed it.

Yun Li, seeing this, hesitated not a moment, firing two more arrows toward the Gray Boar, but this time she aimed at its escape route rather than its body.

The Gray Boar was now completely frozen in place, and as Yun Li approached, it huffed, staring intently at the female, its hooves digging the ground rapidly, as if it would pounce the moment she got close.

Yun Li drew her Bone Knife, without any hesitation stepped forward, and while the Gray Boar was unresponsive, plunged the knife deep into its brain.

"Argh!"

The Gray Boar struggled fiercely, Yun Li's strength insufficient to subdue the raging beast, and when the Gray Boar instinctively slammed into her, she suddenly half‑beast transformed, a beast head on a human body.

Even though Yun Li didn't open her mouth to bite, the Gray Boar's primal hunting fear made it bolt away instantly.

And the moment it fled, Yun Li fully beast‑transformed, lifted a foot and chased after it.

Half an hour later, Yun Li, in her Snow Wolf form, sat lazily beside the Gray Boar, unsure whether it was dead from exhaustion or fright, quietly waiting for her Beast Husband to arrive.

Well... it's rather hard to evaluate!

Gong Mei, who had almost witnessed Yun Li's entire independent hunt, stood not far away with her Beast Husband and sighed softly, "Is she hunting?"

She's basically just playing.

It feels like a well‑fed cub with nothing to do, chasing prey not to eat but out of boredom.

Gong Mei thinks she shouldn't have come along today.

Over there, Yun Li, seeing her Beast Husband, rushed into Leng Xiu's arms with a howl, "howl."

"Ew, it's really too stinky!"

She also wishes, as Leng Xiu said, to bite it in one go and kill it.

The gray pig was just too stinky; when she got close to it, she smelled a nauseating fishy odor, and she really couldn't bring herself to put it in her mouth.

Wuwuwu!
