Chapter 977: Chapter 975: Wildling

Ignoring the pain from the collision, Wufu deftly twisted and pinned the long-haired child beneath her. She removed his hand that was dug into her shoulder and noticed his fingernails—sharp, long, black, and very dangerous.

"Oh my, are you trying to be a zombie with those fingers?" So terrifying.

Whether he understood her words or was subdued by her, the long-haired child’s hand was caught by her, and he didn’t struggle to pull it away; he just glared at her with his eyes.

Wufu then looked over, his eyes were amber and very bright. But his hair and face were covered in fur, all messy, leaving her unable to figure out what this creature was.

"Are you a human?" she asked.

The long-haired child didn’t answer.

"Master." Chi Yi ran over, drawing his sword and harshly pointing it at the hairy child on the ground.

The aura of violent ferocity that the long-haired child was exuding had subsided, but upon sensing Chi Yi’s hostility, it surged back up, watching him warily, ready to attack.

Seeing this, Wufu raised her eyebrows, waved her hand at Chi Yi, and said to the pinned hairy child, "I’ll let you go, and we won’t fight anymore, okay? Nod if you agree, otherwise, I’ll shove you back into the boa’s belly."

The long-haired child stared at Wufu, seemingly discontent.

Wufu chuckled, "Not speaking, I’ll take it as a yes." Then she slowly released her grip.

Once she completely let go, the long-haired child shot up from the ground at incredible speed, and to everyone’s astonishment, he used both his hands and feet to sprint across the ground and quickly climbed up a tree.

So fast!

Wufu was stunned, looking at Chi Yi, "What kind of cultivation technique is that?" It seemed so beast-like.

Chi Yi furrowed his brow and said, "This person isn’t quite right."

Naturally, he wasn’t right; no normal person is like this. Plus, from the looks of it, he seemed like a wild man.

"What happened?" Ah Jiu rushed over. Seeing her shoulder red and clearly injured freshly, his gaze deepened, "Are you hurt?"

Wufu glanced at her scarlet shoulder, nonchalantly waved her hand, and said, "Just a minor accident." Saying this, she gestured toward the tree with her lips.

Ah Jiu looked over, and beside him, Master Gui also saw the long-haired child and asked, "What is that?"

"I think it’s probably a wild man?" Wufu said, rubbing her chin.

"There are wild men in this place?" Su Luo found it strange; the person didn’t seem very old.

"That’s why..." Wufu shrugged, finding it unexpected too.

Ah Jiu asked, "Is this creature what you rescued from the boa’s belly?"

Wufu nodded and said, "Yes. It was still breathing, likely the boa’s last supper, swallowed whole but not completely digested before we killed it. Lucky for the child."

Ah Jiu scoffed, "Ungrateful wretch, not knowing what’s good, kill it."

"Yes."

"Hey, hey." Wufu quickly intervened, "Don’t be so serious, he’s just a child, and I’m fine."

Ah Jiu snorted, dissatisfied, "He injured you."

Master Gui, listening on the side, glanced at Wufu’s shoulder, then at Ah Jiu. Wasn’t his tone too serious and protective, like he was speaking to a sweetheart?

"Anyone suddenly waking up and seeing strangers would react strongly, be on guard, let alone if this child has been living here all along. Forget it, I won’t fuss." Wufu waved her hand and instructed Chi Yi, "Quickly skin that boa, find a place to wash, I seem to remember there’s a lake not far from here."
