Chapter 10: Must Be Vigorous

Walking out of the cave, the air was very heavy.

This time’s duel will not have a high chance of victory.

Even I don’t have the resolution of certain victory!

However, on this earth, there are some adamantly dedicated men. They are well aware that hope isn’t in their cards, but they would still willingly take out a hundred percent of their courage to rise and struggle. My hope is distant and distinct, but it doesn’t mean I’ll definitely lose. This, precisely, is worthy of me to spare no effort.

The last Snow Wolf can be seen as a well-known figure of this generation of Snow Wolves. Ever since he was born, he had grown bigger than all the young wolves, rapidly becoming the forerunner of this generation.

At least I have the feeling that this Snow Wolf has the possibility to become the Attacking Wolf Pack’s boss.

My heart was slightly nervous, really.

Win or lose, it all ends here.

“Aiya ya, just how long has it been? I just took a nap and you turned into this appearance?”

Hearing this voice, I knew at once. Yao Yao had gotten out of bed.

That’s right, it’s definitely gotten out of bed. The prodigy that can sleep for two months, in this world, I’m afraid it’s only this Yao Yao.

I didn’t think about my reply. With the appearance I have now, I don’t want to stay by the brook any longer than I need to. Seeing the ugly scars all over my body, I only grieved.

My das.h.i.+ng appearance was gone forever.

Particularly since I even broke off half of my small tail yesterday.

I don’t know if I can find a partner.

“Xiao Hui Hui, your tail?” Yao Yao asked with a face full of amazement.

I swept her a glance. She was just as pretty as she was two months ago. Her skin was free of any wrinkles, and definitely no marks from sleeping. Elder spots are even more useless to bring up. But that plaster of smile at the corner of her mouth still couldn’t escape my eyes.

“I couldn’t sleep one night, and was a bit hungry so I ate it. In addition, don’t call me Xiao Hui Hui. I’m almost an adult wolf by now.”

I replied to her like this.

Anyway, I can’t tell her that my tail was chopped off by an opponent.

“An adult wolf? Where are you an adult?”

Following that was a strange period of taciturn silence.

I followed her line of sight and discovered that she was examining my lower half. That investigating expression, made me feel at loss at what to do.

Wolves do not have the habit of wearing clothes.

Somewhat covering the precious treasure, I started to walk on the road of awkwardness.

“It’s not very big. This is considered adult?”

I discovered the benefit of having long fur on my face for the first time. I don’t ever have to worry about blus.h.i.+ng anymore.

Being called small by other people, I can’t bear it. If it was a male, I would have already rushed up and fought him to death. But if it was female, I would be ashamed and unable to show my face.

“What are you shy about? You’re even trying to cover up. Ones bigger than this one, this Older Sister has seen them all!” Yao Yao said with a face full of indifference. “I heard that whether that is big or small, is decided by your heredity.”

“Really?”

So it’s not me in question.

“It’s to console you!” Yao Yao spread out her hands and blinked her large eyes, saying with a face filled of innocence. “Being a wolf, don’t be so serious, this joke is such a hard thing to come! Hehe!”

That innocent expression and innocent manner of movements along with that ending hehe, brought the greatest harm to my young and weak spirit.

If I need to say who I hate the most in this lifetime, then never mind the top of the list, Yao Yao is the list.

I plainly knew that talking with this guy would anger me to death. But after not conversing with someone for two months, I had already held back to the point of exploding!

Yao Yao was the only person I could pour my heart to in this strange world, the only one I can say everything to. If I don’t talk too long, I would go crazy from holding it in.

After talking to her for a bit, now I’m starting to really reminisce about those tranquil days.

I closed my mouth and slowly headed toward where my target was.

“Hey, hey. Why aren’t you paying attention to me?”

When I found my mission target, Yao Yao’s clamoring also ceased.

I had to say, after saying a few words to her, my spirits had recovered a lot. At least I wasn’t as nervous or oppressed anymore.

I seem to have caught another prey today, a healthy and st.u.r.dy white deer. The snow white fur pelt without horns should be a female. A pair of miserable large eyes really provoked tender affections.

If a young human girl saw this, hearts would definitely emerge in their eyes and take it back home as a pet.

Unfortunately, what it met was a pack of wolves.

“That white deer is so pitiful!” Yao Yao said with a sigh.

I’m not going to be meddling in other people’s business. The overflowing compa.s.sion of my heart has not moistened to the point of worrying about organisms from other species.

I am also barren of love.

My opponent from a few days ago sat by a group of adult wolves, staring at that poor white deer. I’m afraid this time’s hunting course also has his share.

“Today’s final battle, are you confident?” Yao Yao also knew that the Mission has reached its critical point and quietly asked me.

“A little bit.”

“Only a little?” Yao Yao said with a tone of disdain. “Then you should simply admit defeat since there isn’t any punishment for failing the mission this time.”

I choked.

I could help but have doubts on whose side Yao Yao was standing by.

Her dismissive tone made me even more indignant. If I lost, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to raise my head up in this lifetime. I’ll certainly be despised by this millennium-old loli for a lifetime.

This fight, I cannot afford to lose.

The Snow Wolf Race’s greatest strength isn’t close combat, but ranged skills.

The reason why I could defeat that many young snow wolves was not because I was strong. It was because the snow wolves haven’t learned to use their skill yet, or even if they have, their threat level still isn’t high.

If I were to go challenge the ones I defeated again one by one, I would definitely only win a few. The others have all grown up, so even if they aren’t as strong as this time’s opponent, they have definitely grown a lot.

When they become full-fledged predators, the me who has no blood relations.h.i.+p with them, I’m afraid……

“Lineage Missions are very hard to come by. If you fail and can’t obtain the Crystal Stone, it’s very likely you will be driven out of the Snow Wolf Pack. You absolutely must not have delusions. If the leader wants to drive you out, your Foster Mother will also comply. In this world, death is quite likely if you have no strength or the protection of a pack!”  

After Yao Yao finished saying these words, she disappeared.

I ran in front of my opponent and provoked him without a trace of politeness. He followed me to a vacant place.

Very quickly, a lot of Snow Wolves that received the news also came by and surrounded us. I could also be considered a celebrity.

Standing in the middle of the circle, I saw Miki. I also saw Foster Mother, and Big White standing on a hill far away like a piece of giant rock.

I had a feeling that he was also gazing here.

My opponent has no intention of underestimating me. His body is half crouched, and he let out an “ao ao” sound.

I couldn’t help but attack first, desperately running over. Without skills, the only way I could win is by closing the distance. Once I’m close to them, his Ice Edge skill will be akin to sc.r.a.p. Once I bit down on his body, as long as I don’t let go, then that “Gale” skill effect to increase speed will also not be able to appear.

This is the combat experience I had gained through hundreds of battle.

The opponent knew my goal at first glance, and a cyan cyclone cloaked his body as he rapidly pulled away from me. My pounce drew nothing but empty air

Failing to achieve my objective was also within my expectations. Every single time I challenged a wolf, there were occasionally other wolves watching from the side. This move was outdated.

But I still had hope. Every time the Snow Wolf released their Ice Edge, they would all stop to charge up power. Then, I will have the hope of getting close.

Sure enough, after the opponent had put some distance between us, he opened his large mouth and a snow white Ice Edge was about to appear.

I took this opportunity to rush over, but I was a step too late. His charging process was fast to the point of being excessive. Faster than yesterday’s opponent by half, I just happened to be on a collision course with his Ice Edge!

If I took this. .h.i.t, even if I didn’t die, I would be seriously injured.

In that split second, I think I heard Miki’s and Foster Mother’s grief filled cries.

I was really unsatisfied, I was not reconciled to losing like this.

In the time of crisis, my potential was stimulated. The moment that the Ice Edge was about to land on my body, I twisted, crookedly managing to avoid lethal harm. However, the Ice Edge still left behind deep wounds on my ribs.

I fell to the ground and the blood flowed like water.

I once more stood up, swaying as I stood up. I told myself that I “cannot lose”.

Once I lose, I’m afraid it’s death.

Rather than being divided up and eaten by the Old Snow Wolves, rather than being driven out by the Snow Wolf Pack, rather than dying under the old Loli’s disdain, I would rather die with a bang in battle.

In any case, I lived for two more months, it’s not a total loss!

The Ice Edge that flew over was obviously not as powerful as before. The launching speed had also clearly slowed. I once again relied on my wealthy battle experience that should have allowed me to dodge it, but I suffered. The price this time was one of my hind legs, it was nearly chopped off by the Ice Edge.

I once again stood up. The me who has lost too much blood, felt very cold.

The surroundings were extremely quiet. I could hear nothing, as if I was living in a dream.

Foster Mother was blocked by a couple of adult Snow Wolves, and Miki was also rigidly confined. The wolf pack will not allow other wolves to interfere in a fair duel.

The absolute majority of the Snow Wolves had gathered together and coldly stared at my opponent and I.

They must be quite resentful of me bullying their children, so they all coldly stared at me.

The Wolf Pack’s Rule, is that if you flee from your opponent, or tuck in your tail to beg for mercy, you lose.

However, I have less than half of my tail, plus, the other side may not necessarily know the signals. In the case I conceded defeat, yet still get hit, wouldn’t I have died of persecution?

Let this bitter battle come to an end!

Just when death was written in my heart, closing my eyes to meet the final Ice Edge, I suddenly heard the System’s Beep.
