Chapter 978: Chapter 976: Wolf Child
The group worked together to skin the entire Boa, and Tie Hanyang and his brothers came over to join Wufu and the others. He helped Miss Jiang cremate Jiang Chengâs body and persuaded them to leave. Otherwise, with their injuries and weakness, continuing the journey would only lead to more deaths. Why lose more people here?
Jiang Qingmu had long lost her initial vigor and also wanted to let her second uncle rest in peace sooner. She decided to take the remaining people and leave. As for whether there would be dangers on the way back, that was their own concern.
"Will Big Brother Tie come with us?"
Tie Hanyang gave a simple smile: "If Young Master Xiao Wu doesnât mind, my brothers and I would shamelessly follow along."
They werenât foolish. After the fight with the Boa, they naturally understood the strength of Wufuâs group. In this perilous Cloud Realm, having more people was better than the three brothers fighting alone.
Wufu smiled and said, "Why would I mind? Big Brother Tie and the others are strong allies, which is exactly what we need." He paused and added, "Big Brother Tie, Iâll call you brother, so donât address me as Young Master, just call me Xiao Five."
Tie Hanyang, not the shy type, laughed and said, "Alright, Xiao Five."
Master Gui raised an eyebrow, well, this Xiao Five is quite the natural at making friends. Does he truly know where these people come from?
Tie Hanyang, with a deep unique Inner Strength, could decimate half a life with his Iron Sand Palm if used at Full Power, and he was also skilled in swordsmanship.
The other two, Tie Yong and Ren Zhengyang; one had a hook-spiked Iron Whip and a plethora of hidden weapons, while the other wielded an iron fan and was excellent at Qinggong.
Having good relations with these people was equivalent to having more friends in the Jianghu.
With that, the group set off towards the lakeside.
Perhaps due to their battle with the overlord, there wasnât a trace of animals or beasts in the vicinity.
"Young Master, that wild child is following us," Chi Yi reported as he approached.
Wufu stopped and looked back, sure enough, the child was following them not too far behind, his bare body full of scars, though he seemed indifferent. Wufu couldnât help but frown.
She wanted to go over, but the child darted into the forest with a swoosh, so she gave up.
Soon, the child reappeared, trailing behind them again.
"Ignore him," Ah Jiu said, pulling Wufuâs hand, "Who knows what heâs about, better not get too close to him."
"Itâs alright, he probably doesnât mean any harm," Wufu said with a smile.
Ah Jiu, however, disagreed, as he felt a deep malice emanating from the child.
Wufu walked over and waved at the wild child, but he didnât come out. She then said, "If you donât come out, you canât follow me."
After a rustling noise, the child jumped out, looked at Wufu for a moment, and ran towards her on all fours.
Ah Jiu swiftly moved to Wufuâs side.
The wild child immediately stopped two meters away, half-crouching, glaring and baring teeth at Ah Jiu, growling menacingly.
Only then did the group notice that this childâs teeth were sharp and pointed, who knew how they were honed to such a state.
"Doesnât he look like?" Wufu squinted her eyes and asked Ah Jiu.
"Like what?"
"A wolf."
Ah Jiu looked over, from his head to his teeth to his fingernails, crouching like that, indeed he did resemble one a bit.
Just then, a wolfâs howl came from afar.
"Ah-woo," the child howled in response.
The groupâs expressions slightly changed.
"Wolf Child?" Wufu stared wide-eyed at the wild child.
