Chapter 899: Chapter 904 Xiluo Forest
Xiluo Forest.
An injured Sabertooth Beast with a wounded hind leg was frantically fleeing through the forest, pursued by a sleek Silver Wolf with snowy fur.
The Silver Wolf’s gaze was sharp, intently following the injured prey before it.
A trace of blood stained the white hairs around its mouth, making its protruding fangs seem to glint with a cold light.
Its strong hind legs suddenly pushed off, propelling the wolf into a fierce leap towards the Sabertooth Beast.
But just then, something unexpected happened.
In the space between the Silver Wolf and the Sabertooth Beast, a white light suddenly flashed, and the silhouette of a person flickered in and out of visibility.
The Silver Wolf’s pupils constricted as it hastily twisted its body in mid-air, and in its rush, it accidentally crashed into a nearby tree, allowing the Sabertooth Beast to escape with a flourish.
Visibly irritated, the Silver Wolf squinted its eyes and let out a series of low growls, displeased, it looked in the direction from where the white light had emerged.
After a brief bout of dizziness, Su Tang realized she had left the Wood Immortal Mansion.
She glanced around and suddenly saw a fierce Silver Wolf staring menacingly at her.
Su Tang’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately activated her protective shield, looking wary.
However, to her surprise, upon seeing her, the Silver Wolf paused and then was enveloped in a white light, shifting into a handsome young man.
The young man looked annoyed, "Female, you owe me a Sabertooth Beast!"
Su Tang was somewhat confused, "???"
The young man patiently explained, "Your sudden appearance scared off the Sabertooth Beast, so, you owe me."
This time, Su Tang understood.
Unfortunately, even though she understood, she couldn’t compensate the youth with another Sabertooth Beast.
As Su Tang hesitated over whether to negotiate with the youth to provide some other form of compensation,
the young man irritably ruffled his hair, "Forget it, there’s still some time. I’ll go hunt another one."
With that, the young man was ready to leave.
Su Tang quickly called out to him, "Wait, can you tell me where this place is?"
The young man replied curtly, "Xiluo Forest."
Xiluo Forest?
Su Tang felt she had heard this name before.
However, seeing the young man’s anxious and irritated expression, she added, "Sorry for making your prey escape."
"Hmm," the young man seemed impatient.
Su Tang pursed her lips and continued, "I got separated from my Tribe, and though it might be unreasonable of me to ask, could you please take me to your Tribe first? Of course, as compensation, I can give you this dagger I have!"
Su Tang lowered her shield and presented the dagger, which Gaiyin had mystically created for her before she departed, to the young man.
The sharp blade of the dagger glistened coldly in the sunlight, clearly not a common item!
The young man’s attention was captured by the dagger.
After only two seconds of hesitation, he nodded, "Alright."
Su Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
She followed the young man, walking in one direction.
Along the way, Su Tang couldn’t help but ask, "What’s your name? Why are you here alone? Where are your Tribe members?"
The young man’s face still looked rather youthful, as if he had just come of age.
Su Tang couldn’t understand why the Tribe would allow a newly adult Beastman to hunt alone in the forest—weren’t they afraid of accidents?
The young man replied seriously, "My name is Yin Zhe, of the Silver Wolf Tribe. I came out to hunt for the creature needed for the coming-of-age ritual."
With that explanation, Su Tang remembered.
