“Something is wrong.”
Cheng Fifteen punched an alien beast and sent it flying.
“Why are there suddenly so many infected alien beasts?”
The corruption infection required time.
Just like how corruption affected a person’s spiritual sea, it could not completely take over someone instantly.
But right now, Cheng Fifteen looked at the beasts rushing forward one after another, as if they had planned it together and launched an attack at the same time.
“One comes, I hit one.”
“Two come, I hit both.”
While speaking, Heiyun had already stepped on an alien beast’s head, crushing it.
The strong smell of blood spread through the air.
Somehow, Heiyun took out a pink butterfly flower and placed it inside the cloak.
Hidden in the darkness, Lin Suisui smelled the familiar scent.
Her nose became slightly sour.
Even at a time like this, Dad was still taking care of her feelings.
Lin Suisui tightly held the pink rose.
If only I could do something for Dad and Uncle Cheng…
After finally dealing with the alien beasts, the unformed corruption had already surrounded them.
Thick vines struck them away.
Cheng Fifteen pulled back a vine.
One of the wounds on it was releasing black smoke.
That was the place where it had been scratched by corruption.
This was troublesome.
His expression became serious as he looked at the increasing amount of corruption appearing from nowhere.
He shouted:
“Be careful! Don’t let them hurt you!”
“There’s something wrong with these things!”
It was only a tiny wound.
But it was already causing chaos in his spiritual sea.
His spiritual domain had always been stable and rarely fluctuated.
Yet this small injury had such a huge effect.
He couldn’t imagine what would happen to Heiyun’s spiritual sea, considering he was a powerful beast.
The unformed corruption was not difficult to deal with.
But there were simply too many of them.
While protecting Lin Suisui, Heiyun inevitably got scratched.
A violent feeling surged inside his body.
It screamed for him to tear apart everything in front of him.
Heiyun kept a cold expression and forcefully suppressed that violent impulse.
“Destroy this place.”
“Don’t hold yourself back.”
“Destroy everything.”
“Break it!”
“Get lost!”
The veins on Heiyun’s arm bulged.
He would never hurt his little cub.
Another wound appeared.
The collar around his neck gave off a red warning light.
He had already almost reached the limit.
How could the contamination power be this strong?
Cheng Fifteen’s expression became heavier.
These corruptions were completely different from before.
He suspected the corruption had evolved.
Those alien beasts were being controlled because of its terrifying contamination ability.
He looked at Heiyun.
The man’s face showed no abnormality.
Unfortunately, Yisang was not here today.
Thinking of a frightening possibility, cold sweat appeared on Cheng Fifteen’s forehead.
Could it be… these corruptions knew Yisang wasn’t here, so they chose today to go into a rampage?
Impossible.
Two months ago, they had just eliminated a wave of corruption.
How could it evolve intelligence in such a short time?
But the corruption back then did not have such terrifying contamination power…
If this was happening here, what about other places?
Cheng Fifteen’s heart sank.
A huge wolf tail swept through a mass of corruption.
Heiyun forcefully broke open a path and charged out.
“Go…”
The man’s voice was slightly restrained.
After successfully escaping the black mist, something was shoved into Cheng Fifteen’s arms.
“Take the little cub away.”
Lin Suisui was placed into Cheng Fifteen’s arms.
If something hadn’t happened to him, why would Heiyun hand Lin Suisui over?
Thinking of a possibility, Cheng Fifteen froze.
He looked at Heiyun in disbelief.
“You…”
The man was still the same silent and cold person.
His sharp eyebrows and eyes made people feel intimidated.
Only in front of the little cub did he reveal a slightly foolish and gentle side.
Heiyun didn’t have a collar.
He was different from Cheng Fifteen and the others.
He had suddenly appeared in the slums and had lost his memories.
Cheng Fifteen had no way to know his spiritual value.
But his tightly clenched fists, dark eyes, and the fine sweat covering his forehead all revealed that the man was not relaxed at all.
“Dad, Suisui won’t leave.”
Lin Suisui stuck her small head out from the cloak.
If Dad was handing her to Uncle Cheng, something must have happened.
She anxiously looked at him.
Heiyun looked at the little cub in front of him.
The little cub he watched hatch.
His only cub.
Yisang’s words echoed in his ears.
“You don’t know what kind of place the slums are.”
“You don’t know what kind of people live here.”
“She won’t survive here.”
The soft and adorable little cub, like an angel, should be loved and protected by everyone.
She should be surrounded by endless love in the central city.
Not running away with him in the slums.
The little cub’s tender hand grabbed onto a corner of his clothes.
A sour feeling filled Heiyun’s heart.
Another consciousness inside his spiritual sea continued screaming.
The signs of beast transformation had already appeared on his arm and neck.
After dealing with corruption for so long, even with Yisang’s calming abilities, Heiyun’s spiritual power had already reached the edge of collapse.
“Dad, don’t go…”
Lin Suisui held onto his clothes tightly.
She had a feeling.
If she let go…
Dad would not come back.
Enough.
This was already enough.
“Little cub, don’t be afraid.”
“Dad is going to fight the bad guys.”
When he spoke again, the man’s voice had become rough.
Under the little cub’s unwilling gaze, Heiyun rejected her request for the first time.
A huge white wolf appeared in front of them.
Without looking back, it charged toward the corruption.
Cheng Fifteen did not stop.
He carried Lin Suisui and quickly left.
A completely out-of-control Heiyun would become the greatest danger.
Lin Suisui’s eyes turned red.
Dad left to protect her.
A sharp pain came from her heart.
Cheng Fifteen scattered another group of corruption.
Behind them, faint animal roars could be heard.
Cheng Fifteen increased his speed.
Dark green vines formed a cage, firmly protecting the little cub inside.
“Roar!”
Cheng Fifteen suddenly stopped.
His expression became extremely ugly.
Several beastmen covered in black markings appeared in front of them.
Their pupils had already turned gray-white.
Their skin had a faint blue-green color.
The fur on their exposed arms had turned gray.
“It’s Uncle Xiong Li!”
Lin Suisui cried out.
The infected beastmen had completely lost their reason.
They roared and charged toward Lin Suisui and the others.
Cheng Fifteen carried the cub and dodged sideways.
Beastmen are already infected?
How could it happen so quickly?
Cold sweat dripped from Cheng Fifteen’s forehead.
The more dangerous the situation, the calmer he needed to be.
Without Heiyun’s huge figure beside them, it was strange.
But he still made people feel safe.
The beastmen attacked again.
The next moment—
“Boom!”
Countless vines burst out from the ground.
They covered the sky and trapped Xiong Li and the others.
Cheng Fifteen did not dare stay even one second longer.
A beastman’s strength was terrifying.
These vines could not hold them for long.
Angry roars already came from inside.
Carrying the smell of blood, a sharp wind swept toward them.
Cheng Fifteen could even feel that if he moved slightly slower, his shoulder would be pierced.
No matter how dangerous the situation became, the arm holding the cub remained steady and firm.
A foul smell was right beside his ear.
What had Xiong Li and the others been eating every day?
Why did their mouths smell so terrible?
Cheng Fifteen quickly dodged while carrying the cub.
“Uncle Cheng, behind you!”
The little cub in his arms suddenly spoke.
