Chapter 36: Little Wolf's Revenge, the Gu Brothers

Ahwoo!

The furious wolf howl gradually drew near.

The Wave-Trampling Ox, whose Water Element Lotus had been spoiled by the Phantom Water Wolf, had been restless during this period.

Upon hearing the wolf howl at that moment, its heart stirred.

I never expected the Phantom Water Wolf to dare come knocking, seeking death!

The Wave-Trampling Ox angrily widened its bull eyes, glaring maliciously at the ill‑intentioned … Little Wolf.

The furious Wave-Trampling Ox's eyes visibly froze for a moment.

It still thought the Phantom Water Wolf had come for revenge, but it never imagined that it was actually a tiny runt not even as tall as its calf.

Little Wolf felt no fear at all despite the Wave-Trampling Ox's huge size.

At this moment, its heart held only anger over its mother's death!

When it opened its eyes, the first thing it saw was Gu Han.

To it, Gu Han had already become a father figure in its heart.

It had never seen its mother alive, so its impression of her was faint.

But during those days of flight, only its mother protected it by its side.

Little Wolf could never forget that.

Thus, it howled and summoned two Phantom Water Wolf clones, charging at the Wave-Trampling Ox from three directions.

Moo!

The Wave-Trampling Ox let out a heavy snort, its gaze full of contempt.

Even an adult Phantom Water Wolf is no match for it, let alone this little runt.

The Wave-Trampling Ox swung its pair of forehooves twice, charging forward with an unstoppable force to trample.

Only two consecutive impact sounds were heard, and Little Wolf's two Phantom Water clones instantly turned into two puffs of steam under the Wave-Trampling Ox's blow.

But the next instant, the Wave-Trampling Ox widened its bull eyes.

Because Little Wolf had vanished from its sight!

Immediately after, a sharp pain shot through its abdomen, making the Wave-Trampling Ox feel as if its belly had been ripped open!

Little Wolf slid in, its sharp claws slashing open the Wave-Trampling Ox's belly!

Moo!

In the agonized ox's roar, the Wave-Trampling Ox's eyes instantly turned scarlet, its four hooves madly stamping the ground, trying to crush the Little Wolf darting wildly beneath it.

But Little Wolf relied on its astonishing speed and the agility granted by its small size.

It easily dodged the Wave-Trampling Ox's repeated attacks.

Meanwhile, Little Wolf's attacks kept leaving wound after wound on the Wave-Trampling Ox's body.

The more violently the agitated Wave-Trampling Ox moved, the faster its Qi Blood drained.

Its breath soon grew gradually weak.

In the distance, Gu Han walked slowly toward the Wave-Trampling Ox.

He had originally thought he might need to give Little Wolf a hand, so as not to encounter danger when dealing with the Wave-Trampling Ox.

But now it seems he had still underestimated Little Wolf.

Not long after, in Little Wolf's play-like battle, the Wave-Trampling Ox's massive body collapsed with a crash!

Gu Han stepped forward and touched the Wave-Trampling Ox's corpse.

Absorb attributes.

Congratulations, host, you have absorbed 100 points of Qi Blood, 10 points of Water Elemental Force, and 30 points of Defense from the Wave-Trampling Ox's corpse.

Upon hearing the system's notification, Gu Han's eyes lit up instantly.

He never expected the Wave-Trampling Ox to be able to provide him with so much Water Elemental Force!

The demonic beasts skilled in Water Element he had encountered before gave him at most 1 point of Water Elemental Force.

And the Wave-Trampling Ox actually provided a full ten points!

Doesn't this mean that if he finds ten Wave-Trampling Oxen, he can gather enough Water Elemental Force for Little Wolf to break through its bloodline?

However, it seems that between a demonic beast's Qi Blood and elemental force, one can only absorb one type at a time.

According to the system's introduction, demonic beasts of one-star seventh rank or higher can let him absorb demonic beast blood qi.

The Wave-Trampling Ox clearly is a demonic beast with abundant Qi Blood, yet he failed to absorb its demonic beast blood qi.

Just think less, try some demonic beasts, and you'll know.

Before taking action, Gu Han's gaze fell upon the Wave-Trampling Ox's corpse.

Roasting the whole ox seems like a good choice.

……

On the other side, many Combat Soldiers and Logistics Soldiers in the camp were discussing when Lei Chao could return to the camp.

"It's already been about an hour, why hasn't that fellow Lei Chao come back yet?"

"Could Lei Chao have capsized in a gutter, having been screwed over by Gu Chen?"

"Come on, if they're only one or two minor realms apart, there's still a chance of an ambush, but Gu Chen is merely a Fifth Stage Martial Trainee—what could he use to ambush Lei Chao? It would be pointless."

Everyone was speculating about Gu Chen's fate, with only a few believing Lei Chao might have capsized in a gutter.

These busybodies were basically veteran soldiers, while the new recruits were basically worried, their brows furrowed.

"Gu Lin and the others are still training on the battlefield; they probably don't know Gu Chen might have encountered danger—I need to go tell them."

That person had just stood up when someone stopped them.

"If you go now, aren't you just going to harm Gu Lin and the others?"

Given the Gu Family Brothers' relationship, if they knew Gu Chen was in danger, they would certainly risk their lives to save him, and by then they themselves wouldn't escape this calamity.

Ah, do those generals and instructors really just stand by and watch those old soldiers bully us?

The instructors each have their own duties; Lei Chao and Gu Chen are merely going out on the surface, so the instructors couldn't possibly be idle and just follow them all the time, could they?

That said, I still feel indignant; Gu Chen, a person destined for greatness, dying at Lei Chao's hands is too great a loss.

If you're indignant, go help Gu Chen get revenge and kill Lei Chao.

If I had that ability, I'd be the first to go! Isn't there any?

The people discussing suddenly felt several cold gazes and instinctively turned their heads.

Immediately afterward, their expressions slightly changed.

Gu Lin, Gu Jing...

Gu Lin and the others had just finished training and walked over when they heard the discussion, and their faces instantly darkened like the bottom of a pot.

Gu Lin asked in a low voice,

Gu Chen's older brother and Lei Chao, which direction did they go?

They exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly,

Gu Lin, perhaps Gu Chen hasn't encountered danger...

However, before he could finish speaking, Gu Lin interrupted him,

I understand what you mean, but we can't just stand by and watch Gu Chen's older brother bear everything alone!

At this moment, they still didn't know that Gu Han had also left the camp.

If they knew, they would probably panic even more!

Yang Tian, could you tell me which direction Gu Chen's older brother left in?

Yang Tian looked at Gu Lin's expression, realizing that no matter how he tried to persuade, it was useless, so he could only point toward a direction outside the camp,

That direction.

Gu Lin nodded, then led Gu Jing and two others resolutely toward the outside of the camp.

Yang Tian's gaze wavered, and he said helplessly,

An hour has already passed; even if you rush over now, it's already too late.

If alive, we want to see the person; if dead, we want to see the corpse.

Gu Lin replied briefly.

He knew that the three of them were no match for Lei Chao.

But they couldn't let Gu Chen's corpse lie exposed in the wilderness!

In the eyes of all four, there was full resolve!

If we unfortunately encounter Lei Chao, then we might as well die together!
