Discussing The Correct Posture To Enjoy Dog Food

Translated by Hua Li ^_~

Sorry for the verrrryyyyy late update! 😅

As the Burei tribe drew nearer, Meng Hao’s unease intensified.

The Burei tribe seemed unusually calm, so much so that Meng Hao found it unsettling. Due to this, he lingered outside the Burei tribe for an additional day before departing.

However, his efforts yielded nothing.

This did not ease Meng Hao’s worries, this lack of information heightened his agitation. In response, he raced back to the tribe at full speed, nearly missing the Rhinoceros Beast people hiding among the dry branches and fallen leaves.

Fortunately, Meng Hao spotted them.

Compared to the dark-skinned Rhinoceros Beast people, Meng Hao, blending with the snowy surroundings, was clearly better at concealment. The hiding Beast people remained unaware of the approaching threat.

“It’s freezing here. How much longer do we have to stay?”

“Soon. The Black Armored Beasts have already invaded the Wolf tribe, haven’t they? When they and the Black Armored Beasts are both weakened, we can—Hey, why did you step on me?”

But before he could get an answer, the heavy White Winged Wolf Beast person had just pounced on him and had already bitten off the other’s neck!

“The white orc of the Wolf tribe!”

After a loud shout, the Rhinoceros Beast people scattered, kicking up countless ice and snow. However, their hasty footsteps became a death knell for them.

Amidst the howling wind and swirling snow, they couldn’t see Meng Hao’s exact location.

However, Meng Hao had complete control of their movements. Given their speed, they were no match for him. In no time, Meng Hao had slain almost the entire group of twenty Rhinoceros Beast people! Now, with his claws pressing against the last one’s neck, he tore at his horn while roaring.

Although the Rhinoceros Beast person couldn’t understand his words, in extreme terror, he confessed everything he knew.

Having studied with the priests for many years, Meng Hao understood not only the universal language among females but also the language of the Rhinoceros Beast people, enemies of the Wolf tribe for generations.

—The Burei tribe smashed dragon eggs and killed the hatchlings of the Black Armored Beasts, putting the blame on the Wolf Tribe!

—The Revengeful Black Armored Beasts have already invaded the Wolf Tribe!

—The second batch of Black Armored Beasts has been attracted by the Swamp tribe and has entered the tribe; over a hundred Black Armored Beasts are already inside!

—The Burei and Swamp tribes have laid an ambush. They plan to wait until the Wolf tribe’s people and Black Armored Beasts are both heavily wounded, seize the females, and kill the cubs!

Meng Hao’s eyes turned crimson, and he took to the sky.

Faster.

Even faster!

The tribe must not be exterminated. Meng Hui must not die. The priest must not be harmed. Xiao Keng’er…

“Howl!”

Meng Hao roared, flapping his wings desperately against the wind and snow.

Meanwhile,

The Black Armored Beasts had finally broken into the interior of the tribe, charging towards the central priest’s hall.

A thunderous sound, then another.

Continuous impacts made the walls of the priest’s hall emit unbearable noises, and the ground trembled.

“Priest, what should we do? How can we handle this?”

“Merciful Beast God, please save us!”

Faced with the terrified females and cubs, the old priest’s eyes showed a hint of determination.

“Kind Beast God, Wo Qing, the wolf tribe’s priest, is willing to offer his life—”

Yuejin rushed onto the altar, grieving, “Priest, you must stop praying. You’ll die! We’ll be fine, the Beast God has always protected us. You can’t die; otherwise, the tribe is finished!”

Just wait a little longer; once the Beast God’s son returns, they’ll be saved!

Please wait a little longer!

Yuejin sobbed uncontrollably.

Now, many females and younglings understood the old priest’s intentions.

They pleaded in terror, “Priest, please don’t do this!”

“Priest, I can go to battle; you can’t sacrifice yourself!”

“Beast God, please listen to the prayers of your people, save us, Beast God…”

In the midst of desperate pleas, Gou Liang realized that many females and cubs had already prepared themselves to sacrifice their lives to protect the old priest, all with a resolute expression.

Counting the steps of Meng Hao, it was feared that the priest’s hall would not hold until he returned. Even if he did return, under the current circumstances, Meng Hao might not be able to protect the hall from the claws of the Black Armored Beasts right away.

Thinking of this, Gou Liang spoke in a deep voice, “Priest, is it true that the LongevityTree can rejuvenate with fresh blood and emit fragrance during the White Moon Season?”

“Yes, that’s correct. But, young one, you…”

Seeing Gou Liang taking out a withered Longevity Tree root and cutting open his own hands to smear fresh blood on it, the old priest immediately understood his intention.

“Child, stop this. Your blood alone is not enough.”

Outside, the Black Armored Beasts paid no attention to the Wolf people’s resistance.

Stubbornly, they continued to slam against the stone walls. They had already detected the delicious scent of females and cubs hiding behind the stones, even more enticing than the Wolf people. They were determined to devour them all, leaving no skin or bone behind!

The barricades of the priest’s hall were about to be breached!

The old priest, with a heavy heart, prepared to cut open his own palm. Yuejin, who had once been a priest, understood that the old priest was already at the end of his strength. If he were to be injured again, he might not survive much longer. He immediately stopped him, cutting his own palm instead.

“Female blood is the best! Everyone, come help!”

Yuejin shouted.

Ga’er was the first to respond, and other older females quickly followed suit.

Drop by drop, the fresh blood quickly gathered into a stream, flooding the Longevity Tree root.

Boom, boom!

The barricade of the priest’s hall cracked open. The scent of female blood made the already agitated Black Armored Beasts even more excited. They roared, pushing aside the Beast people blocking their way, and intensified their attacks.

“Not enough! We need more blood!”

The females surged forward, replacing those who had already given blood and cutting their palms open.

As more and more blood was infused, it almost turned into a small river!

Finally, the LongevityTree root began to absorb the blood, revitalizing with life.

Gou Liang was delighted, but at this moment, the stone wall was breached. It was too late!

A powerful gust of wind and snow poured into the hall through the broken opening. The head of the Black Armored Tyrannosaur sneaked in, and the females and cubs screamed in terror, fleeing desperately.

The old priest’s face changed drastically. He was about to recite the vow of blood sacrifice to exchange for life!

Gou Liang decisively cut his wrist and pressed it against the LongevityTree root. He loudly prayed, “Beast God, my name is Lang Xi. Please, in your dreams, spare a thread of divine thought to help me give birth to the root of life!”

【Xiaosi, administer the life-inducing potion!】

【System: Understood, Master!】

Without waiting for the system to act, a brilliant white light spun rapidly out of the snowstorm.

This force of prayer did not immediately fulfill Gou Liang’s wish. Instead, it lingered around his wrist and palm, restoring his wound to its original state. Only then did it enter the Longevity Tree root. Suddenly, the root, which had withered after entering the White Moon Season and required the Silver Moon Season for rebirth, swelled up. The blood turned into the best nourishment, not only making it emit fragrance again but also rapidly producing new shoots. The scent of the Longevity Tree, capable of repelling the Beast creatures, spread throughout the entire hall.

“Roar!”

The Black Armored Beast let out an unwilling roar, but, fearful of the scent of the Longevity Tree, quickly pulled back the half of its body that had entered. It turned its attention to the relentless Beast people.

Surviving a catastrophe, no one dared to breathe a sigh of relief, not even making the slightest sound.

The Wolf Chief who had been fiercely fighting the Black Armored Beasts rushed in, showing a slight change in expression only when he saw that most females and cubs were unharmed.

He said, “Priest, I have arranged for someone to escort you, the females, and the cubs away. The Burei tribe’s people are ambushing outside. If we fight with the Black Armored Beasts until exhausted, they will definitely take advantage of the situation. So, we must send you away first!”

“No. The Silver Moon Season is still more than thirty days away. Females and cubs won’t survive. This Longevity Tree root, under the power of prayer, can support for a day. You must give your all…Otherwise, the tribe will share life and death together.”

The old priest said in a deep voice.

Even if they left, they wouldn’t survive.

If they miraculously survived, it would likely be the Burei tribe seizing them. Then maybe the females would have a slim chance of survival, while others… watching Lang Xiong covered in blood and the bewildered cubs, the old priest rejected Lang Xiong’s proposal.

“I understand.”

Lang Xiong turned and left.

“Axiong!”

Ga’er shouted, and the Wolf Chief’s steps paused. But He didn’t turn back, leaving.

“Beast God, Beast God, please bless the tribe, we implore you…”

The tearful prayers converged into a sincere chant.

At the moment Meng Hao returned, he saw the tribe in ruins, completely unrecognizable.

Collapsed houses, the bodies of Beast people who traded their lives for the Black Armored Beasts, a snow-covered ground stained with fresh blood…

The battle circle was approaching the priest’s location, and the scent of female blood was so strong that Meng Hao could smell it even in the chaotic blood atmosphere.

How could this happen? Could it be…

His ice-blue eyes turned blood-red in an instant.

“Howl!”

Meng Hao howled to the sky and flew towards the Black Armored Beasts. He tried to attract their attention with his snowy white fur, and he succeeded.

Three Black Armored Beasts immediately roared and charged towards Meng Hao. He didn’t evade until his provocative shouts and glaring white fur attracted over a dozen Black Armored Beasts. Only then did he turn and flee.

“Brother! Don’t!”

Meng Hui cried out in misery.

“Meng Hui, stop! Don’t let Meng Hao sacrifice himself in vain. Killing the Black Armored Beasts is what you should do!”

Azan, who was closest to Meng Hui, shouted.

The Wolf beastmen of Wolf Tribe, who heard Meng Hao’s sad departure as bait to lead away over a dozen Black Armored Beasts, had different reactions. However, their eyes, filled with fierceness, were directed at the remaining twenty-something. They were determined to kill them, not letting their companions sacrifice in vain and, more importantly, not allowing the Burei tribe’s conspiracy to succeed!

Kill them!

“Meng Hao has returned…”

“Xiaoxi, don’t go!”

Ga’er held tightly to Gou Liang, afraid that he might step out of the safety zone protected by the Longevity Tree root.

Unlike the females who heard the sorrowful departure of Meng Hao as bait to lead away over a dozen Black Armored Beasts, Yuejin’s tense nerves loosened. he fell to the ground instantly.

“It’s great, it’s great…”

The son of the Beast God had returned, and the tribe would be fine. It would definitely be fine.

Gou Liang looked at Yuejin, and this blind trust made him really not know what to say.

Taking a deep breath, Gou Liang ordered Lang Fei, who was guarding in front of him and Ga’er, to send people to burn hot water and send fur to the females. The females and cubs, highly nervous now, hadn’t felt the cold and discomfort brought by the snowstorm. However, they would likely fall ill over a large area after the battle.

With the casualties among the Beast people and the looming threat from the Burei and Swamp tribes…

The situation for the Wolf Tribe is worrying.

Gou Liang’s brows furrowed.

【System: Master, I suddenly remembered something… Have you ever thought about where the loop point in this world is?】

Gou Liang suddenly recalled that among the failure data released on the mission forum, except for Executor No.00102, none of the Executors who failed witnessed Meng Hao becoming the Beast God’s son.

According to Yuejin’s memory, Meng Hao became the Beast God’s son under circumstances where the Executor violated the rules, and when the vital signs of the mission target disappeared, the mission world would enter a new loop.

In other words, the loop point of this world is before Meng Hao becomes the Beast God’s son.

Could it be?!

Gou Liang took a deep breath, suddenly focusing on the system monitor.

Meng Hao was already surrounded by a group of Black Armored Beasts, deeply engaged in a fierce battle.

The Black Armored Beasts were the continent’s top ferocious beasts, not only with tough and impenetrable skin but also twice the size of regular Beast people in their beast form. Their sharp claws and wings made them dominate both land and air.

The battlefield that was once a blind spot now turned into a small blind spot, covered in snow, mud, and fresh blood, all indicating the intense battle.

Gou Liang clenched his heart, wishing he could rush out now, regardless of whether it meant death or OOC!

Hold on, Meng Hao.

However, Meng Hao couldn’t hold on and fell to the ground, becoming the prey of the Black Armored Beasts.

【Ding, Attention Executor No.00401, mission target’s vital signs in critical condition. Please find a way to save.】

【System: Master, what should we do?】

GouLiang took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.【Exchange for a healing item, adjust efficiency to the second level. Make sure to keep him alive.】

【System: Yes, Master!】

“Brother!!”

Meng Hui’s desperate shout echoed in the priest’s hall, bringing tears to the old priest’s eyes.

Gou Liang quickly tore off a piece of longevity tree bud the size of a fingernail and ran outside.

“Stop him quickly!”

“Xi’er!”

“Brother!”

Ga’er and Lang Fei stopped him immediately. Gou Liang looked at the old priest, “I recognize that voice as Meng Hui’s. Something must have happened to Meng Hao, right? Let me go!”

“What can you do when you go out?

”Lang Xi, please calm down, this will only distract Meng Hao.”

The old priest tried his best to comfort him.

“I’m not going to die, I’m just praying for him… Priest, I won’t let him die, absolutely not!”

He broke away from Ga’er and ran out of the wind hole that was hit by the black-armored beast.

With ice and snow covering his hair, Gou Liang quickly took the small Longevity Tree bud, sticking it to his forehead, praying, “Beast God, my name is Lang Xi. If you can hear my prayer, please convey my voice to my dearest one… Meng Hao, hold on. I’m waiting for you; I’m waiting for you to bring me back home. If you dare to die, I’ll go accompany you immediately! Meng Hao, Meng Hao, can you hear me talking?”

Meng Hao, Meng Hao…

For the first time, he felt the chill of the White Moon Season, the bone-piercing cold that made Meng Hao unable to stand. His body had lost the strength to support him, and the ferocious Black Armored Beasts were tearing at his flesh with their sharp fangs, rendering him helpless.

His vision turned blood-red, consciousness began to blur, and he couldn’t hear anything or breathe.

But at that moment, he suddenly heard a call.

Meng Hao.

For a moment, he couldn’t remember that this was his own name, but he remembered this voice.

It was the most cherished voice, always filled with laughter and warmth. At this moment, it was covered by sadness and weeping.

——You promised never to let him cry again.

A thunderous sound echoed in his mind.

“Meng Hao, where are you?”

“Don’t die, Meng Hao. Don’t leave me…”

“If you die, I’ll accompany you! Wherever you go, I’ll be with you…”

No, I won’t let you die, absolutely not!

“Howl!”

Meng Hao roared, suddenly feeling a surge of strength in his body, bursting with infinite potential. He leaped up and pounced on the Black Armored Tyrannosaur that had bitten off his leg.

Kill them!

I won’t die, Xiao Keng’er won’t die. No one can harm him!

The Black Armored Beasts, enraged by his sudden revival, fiercely attacked, targeting specific areas — tail, wings, limbs, head, abdomen. They wanted to tear this White Beast person into pieces and devour him!

However, in that instant.

Flames erupted from the white wolf’s forehead, instantly covering his entire body. The Black Armored Beasts, scorched and injured, wailed in agony. They tried to escape, but the flames exploded, engulfing over a dozen gigantic Black Armored Beasts, turning them into ashes in an instant.

Amidst the raging flames, a winged wolf stood up, spreading its wings engulfed in fire, flying into the sky.

“Howl!”

The might of thunder, intimidating the universe.

The Beast people involuntarily stopped their attacking actions, looking up. They saw several blue lightning bolts striking down from the gray sky, landing on the Black Armored Beasts.

The enormous Black Armored Beasts turned into charred remains, crashing down to the ground, loudly collapsing and becoming scattered black ashes.

Yue Jin widened his eyes, “It worked…”

“Meng Hao!”

Gou Liang ecstatically exclaimed.

At the moment when the lightning struck, the old priest sensed something and immediately supported Lang Fei’s hand, trembling and swiftly walking towards the opening.

Females in the hall, puzzled, followed the old priest with their cubs.

They looked up and saw the giant flaming winged wolf in the sky.

The Flaming Winged Wolf roared again, then descended to the ground. As it landed, the intense flames receded from its tail, revealing the white fur covering the entire body. The flames finally retreated to the wolf’s forehead, condensing into two burning red flames.

Harnessing the power of thunder, with the Red Moon Fire between its eyebrows…

“Beast God… Son of the Beast God…”

The old priest murmured.

The white wolf in front of them was twice the size of Meng Hao. Its ice-blue eyes were calmer than its original coldness, devoid of any trace of the Beast people’s aura. It looked down at the battered Beast people, causing them to bow their heads in submission. Even Meng Hui dared not make eye contact.

“Indeed, He is the Son of the Beast God… Wo Qing, the priest of the Wolf Tribe, pays respects to the Son of the Beast God!”

The old priest was the first to recover, kneeling down.

Others were shocked and frightened, not fully recovering from the Black Armored Beasts’ attacks. They instinctively followed the old priest, kneeling down and addressing him as the Son of the Beast God, burying their heads in reverence.

“Meng Hao… you’ve returned!”

“Lang Xi, stop!” The old priest exclaimed in shock.

“Don’t go over, Little Xi!” the wolf patriarch shouted.

Then, Gou Liang rushed forward without hesitation, “Meng Hao!”

The giant white wolf’s tail swept over, resisting the approach of the ordinary Beast female. It seemed to be resisting the proximity of the ordinary Beast female and intended to sweep him aside. The wolf patriarch and others were on edge!

Gou Liang jumped onto the large tail.

The giant white wolf cherished him and carefully lifted him to its front.

Gou Liang stepped on its nose, touched its face, confirmed that it was unharmed, and then leaned on its face, bursting into tears, “You jerk, you scared the hell out of me!”

“Howl…”

Hot tears fell into the giant white wolf’s forehead, scalding the red flame tattoo. The giant white wolf couldn’t comfort him, anxiously transforming back into a human form.

Meng Hao tightly hugged Gou Liang, “Don’t cry. Xiao Keng’er, I’m back…”
