Chapter 258: Chapter 0258: Snow Wolf Divine Beast_1
Looking at Xiao Baibai’s pet-sized stature, even Cold-blooded, who was not given to laughter, couldn’t help but want to laugh.
Where did this pet dog get the courage to rescue someone?
“What charm does Reaper possess, that An Le would disregard her own life for him, aside from that, even a dog would fight to the death for him?” Cold-blooded was left speechless.
Whimper, hiss!
Whimper, hiss!
Xiao Baibai growled at him.
Unfortunately, it was too small to make a loud noise, no matter how much it barked.
Cold-blooded walked over and kicked out with one leg.
Xiao Baibai bit onto his leg with lightning speed and tore off a small piece of flesh with force.
“Courting death.”
Cold-blooded swung his other foot up, kicking it away, causing it to roll far on the ground.
Just as Xiao Bai’s body came to a stop, it pushed off with its hind legs and lunged fiercely again.
Swipe!
A flash of white light streaked by.
A dagger sliced across Xiao Bai, causing a tuft of blood-streaked fur to flutter down.
Soon, Xiao Baibai’s body was stained red, its once beautiful fur marred by bloodstains.
Whimper, hiss!
Xiao Baibai still growled fearlessly.
“Come at me again, and you’ll end up like her.”
Cold-blooded pointed at An Le, who was barely holding on to life and threatened without caring if it understood.
Yang Xinyi’s heart clenched tightly, and she felt as if she was bleeding internally.
Looking at An Le, who lay on the ground close to death, and Xiao Baibai, whose body was stained with blood, she suddenly realized how useless she was.
A surge of emotion welled up from within her.
This person and dog, whom she did not know and the dog she greatly disliked, yet they both stood up and fought fiercely to protect her when her life was in the balance.
What was it that made them want to protect her, even at the cost of their own lives?
Whimper!
Xiao Baibai dug its front paws in the grass, its little eyes glaring at Cold-blooded, and charged at him once more.
Swipe, swipe!
The dagger sliced across Xiao Baibai again, creating two more cuts.
Hiss!
Xiao Bai also seized the opportunity to bite off another small chunk of flesh from Cold-blooded’s leg.
“Damn it!”
After being bitten repeatedly, Cold-blooded flew into a rage and headed straight for Yang Xinyi.
If this little dog was desperately protecting Yang Xinyi, it would surely come right to him.
Sure enough, Xiao Baibai saw Cold-blooded moving towards Yang Xinyi and charged at him without a second thought.
To rush over was to court death, its small head could hardly stop anything.
In a blink, Xiao Baibai was covered in wounds, incapable of bearing any more, and collapsed on the ground.
But its pair of small eyes still glared steadfastly at Cold-blooded, showing no fear.
“In my life, Cold-blooded, I’ve never admired anyone, but today I not only admire An Le, but also a dog,” Cold-blooded said. His gaze fell on Yang Xinyi as he coldly declared, “The person who protected you is dead, the dog that protected you is also dead, prepare to die!”
Yang Xinyi walked to Xiao Baibai’s side, her vision blurred by tears.
She gently picked it up, holding its bloodied body in her arms, a tear falling onto it.
She realized that despite her intense dislike for Xiao Baibai, in the end, it had fought to the death for her, even to the point of giving up its life.
Could a dog really do such a thing?
Even humans would not go this far.
In that moment, Yang Xinyi’s loathing for it vanished completely, for not all dogs only caused harm; they could also save lives.
Everything has two sides, not all dogs are good dogs, and not all people are good people.
Unfortunately, she realized it too late.
Now, she could only express her repentance to Xiao Baibai on the road to the afterlife.
Yang Xinyi’s tears cascaded onto Xiao Baibai, completely unaware that the Xiao Baibai in her arms was healing its wounds slowly and its body was beginning to transform.
…
The Miaojiang clan records state: atop Thunder Mountain dwells a beast with the appearance of a dog and the face of a civet cat, covered in white fur. It can regenerate and transform its body, turning misfortune into fortune when in peril. Having resided in the deep mountains for hundreds of years, even tigers and wolves fear it. Sometimes it can become a six-feet-tall Vicious Beast, commanding all other animals.
This passage has been handed down through several generations in the Thunder Mountain clan records.
The gist is: Atop Thunder Mountain, there lives a wild creature that looks like a dog but has the face of a civet cat. It is covered in snow-white fur and possesses the abilities of self-repair and transformation. Every time it encounters danger, it can turn misfortune into fortune. This creature has lived in the deep mountains for hundreds of years, feared by all the fierce beasts in the mountains. Sometimes, it transforms into a two-meter-tall formidable Vicious Beast that rules all other beasts.
At this moment.
Lying in the arms of Yang Xinyi, Xiao Baibai was inflating at a visibly rapid pace.
By the time she realized it, Xiao Baibai had already grown to the size of a police dog.
And it wasn’t stopping there, it was still transforming.
Cold-blooded was stunned and after a long pause exclaimed, “A Genetic Beast, how is this possible?”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
He had automatically assumed that any animal capable of transformation had to be a Genetic Beast; no other animal could possibly have such ability.
However, Genetic Beasts, due to genetic research, are all hairless with bodies as tough as copper skin and iron bones, which doesn’t at all look like Xiao Baibai’s incarnation as a large, majestic, and beautiful Snow Wolf.
In just a few seconds, Xiao Baibai had turned into a one-meter-eight-tall Snow Wolf with an imposing aura that seemed to swallow the sky.
Diamond-sharp fangs, long wolf teeth, fiery red eyes.
Limbs thick and long, exuding a powerful explosive force.
Woo!
A wolf howl pierced the heavens.
All sorts of animals within a kilometer, upon hearing it, trembled in fear.
The Snow Wolf suddenly sprang into action, pouncing towards Cold-blooded with the swift speed of the wind.
“Damn it.”
Cold-blooded had never dreamed of such a situation; everything before his eyes completely overturned his understanding.
Regrettably, at that moment there was simply no time for him to think further, the Snow Wolf was already lunging at him.
The shock within Cold-blooded’s heart was incomparable.
Xiao Bai had been a tiny thing before him but now, it was his turn to be a tiny thing in front of the Snow Wolf.
Ding!
His dagger struck the Snow Wolf’s paw, motionless.
The Snow Wolf’s paw was actually harder than a dagger.
Whimper!
The Snow Wolf roared, its speed suddenly increasing, becoming so fast that only a shadow was visible.
The next moment, Cold-blooded felt a pain on his back as wolf claws left three deep gashes, excruciatingly painful to the bone.
And that wasn’t all; soon after, Cold-blooded felt continuous pain all over his body. He became scarred in an instant, suffering even worse than when he had injured Xiao Bai before.
The speed was too fast; he had no power to resist. This was a one-sided battle.
Cold-blooded knew it was retaliation, payback for the harm he had caused it just moments ago. This was an animal with emotions much like a human.
He wanted to fight back, wanted to flee, but unfortunately, the Snow Wolf was far too fast, more than twice as strong as him.
Soon, Cold-blooded was covered in scars and bloodied all over, with no fewer than fifty claw marks.
He fell to his knees, unable to stand up again.
Only then did the Snow Wolf cease its attack, approaching him with a pair of wolf eyes, looking down upon him with the haughtiness of a king.
Such were the eyes of a human, for Cold-blooded saw contempt, provocation, and an imperiousness in its gaze.
Huff!
A wolf howl broke through the sky.
With a swipe of the Snow Wolf’s paw, Cold-blooded’s neck was severed, blood gushing out wildly.
In the end, a once-fearsome assassin lay on the ground, more dead than he could ever be.
Yang Xinyi looked up at the magnificent beast that seemed to be the king of all animals, speechless for a long time.
“Is that really Xiao Baibai?”
