Chapter 1465: Chapter 1468: Jungle Overlord: The Terrifying Bug Queen
"Well, well, today I refuse to believe I can’t tame you. You’ve really grown bold, haven’t you?"
Ling Xiao touched his aching chest. His ribs were automatically healing, something he didn’t even need to worry about.
Right now, he had to keep his eyes on that Silver Moon Greedy Wolf.
Although this creature was just a beast, its battle techniques were baffling, as if it had undergone special training.
"Could it be a beast with a master?"
Ling Xiao suddenly thought of the overlord in this primitive jungle, and the direction from which the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf emerged was precisely there.
Could it be that they were actually together?
"Useless, it’s been half a day and you can’t even handle a mere human. What’s the point of keeping you?"
Just then, a furious shout echoed from deep within the jungle.
At the same time the voice rang out, the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf actually crouched on the ground, letting out fearful whimpers.
What’s going on!
Ling Xiao was dumbfounded. The Ancient Ferocious Beast that had been so menacing just moments ago was now acting so pathetically?
At this moment, a Sky-covering Big Hand emerged from the dense forest, reaching out to slap the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf.
It intended to kill the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf.
"Senior, please spare it!"
Ling Xiao shouted hurriedly.
The Sky-covering Big Hand paused mid-air, casting a massive shadow on the ground.
"Human, you want to plead for it? Don’t forget, it was trying to kill you just now."
A commanding voice asked.
"I just think it’s been dutiful enough. Wouldn’t it be a waste to kill it like that? After all, it’s a purebred Ancient Silver Moon Greedy Wolf."
Ling Xiao actually just didn’t want the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf to die. Otherwise, how would he get hold of it?
Let it live for now, and deal with other matters later.
"You make a good point, but if you want it to live, you must give me the battle intent of the Ancient Golden Crow and Ancient Heavenly Demon from your body."
The voice demanded domineeringly.
Ling Xiao frowned.
This overlord in the depths of the jungle knew he had acquired the Ancient Heavenly Demon and Ancient Golden Crow. It truly seemed extraordinary.
It appeared there was no other choice now, but to take it one step at a time.
In any case, if the Sky-covering Big Hand swung down, it could slap him dead with a single strike. He had no chance to escape.
Perhaps it would be better to go over and check things out first?
"Senior, the Ancient Golden Crow and Ancient Heavenly Demon are indeed troubling my body. I’d be glad to have them gone. If you can help me, that would be great."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Where are you, Senior? I will come over."
"Yin Yue, bring him over."
The Sky-covering Big Hand finally withdrew, and then the commanding voice rang out.
The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf gave a low howl, then looked at Ling Xiao. In its clear eyes, there actually appeared a trace of gratitude.
"You don’t need to thank me. I was originally planning to capture you as a pet. If you died, I’d be at a loss."
Ling Xiao shrugged and said.
The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf gave him a long look, then turned around and headed in the direction from which the Sky-covering Big Hand had extended.
Ling Xiao followed closely behind, sensitive to the increasingly terrifying pressure.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ling Xiao saw a person.
This person was extremely ugly.
The most terrifying thing was, her hair was actually a writhing poisonous snake, and her clothing, upon closer inspection, was made up of frightening poisonous scorpions.
The place where she sat was also a bed piled with insects.
What on earth is this creature?
Ling Xiao sucked in a cold breath.
He had seen ugly people, including the Sixth Evil Star, but never someone so terrifying and disgusting.
It was hard to determine the woman’s age, but judging by her appearance, she seemed forty to fifty years old.
However, according to her bone structure, it seemed as if she had lived for tens of thousands of years.
A cold smile lingered on her lips as she looked faintly at Ling Xiao.
The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf had already crouched down, trembling all over as if in fear.
"Truly useless. What’s the point of keeping you around for so many years?"
The woman glanced coldly at the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, and with just a look, made it fly backwards, crashing into a large tree before bouncing back again.
The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf’s strength lay in attack and speed. Its body wasn’t that resilient, hence it sustained significant injuries.
Ling Xiao could sense the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf’s anger, but it dared not resist.
This woman was too powerful. If it resisted, the likely result would be death.
For a wise Cave-heaven Beast, survival is, of course, the top priority.
As long as it stayed alive, there would always be a chance for revenge.
"You blame me for killing your master and want revenge. But after over a hundred years, you’re still this useless. I’ve given you the chance; do you dare attack me?"
The woman looked contemptuously at the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, filled with disdain and coldness.
Ling Xiao was deeply shaken.
The Silver Moon Greedy Wolf, which had made him so embarrassed earlier, was being humiliated by this woman without daring to fight back.
Who was this woman, anyway?
Was she the overlord of this primitive jungle that the strong ones outside referred to?
Ling Xiao couldn’t know, and he didn’t even dare release his soul power to investigate.
His instincts told him that doing so would be useless and might even harm him.
The woman’s gaze shifted from the Silver Moon Greedy Wolf back to Ling Xiao.
After a slight mocking smile, she spoke, "Do you still think you can leave here alive?"
"Senior, you jest. Nobody likes dying. If Senior can spare my life, then I can offer the Ancient Heavenly Demon and Ancient Golden Crow."
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
Although he felt uncomfortable about saying it, he was sincere.
If he could leave alive, what did it matter if he lost the Ancient Heavenly Demon and Ancient Golden Crow?
He still had the powerful Undying Sword Intent, which was no small gain.
"Heh, I’m not joking. No one’s ever left here alive. Even if I agree, my little friends won’t."
She laughed, and the snakes, insects, rats, and ants around her stared at Ling Xiao, who could clearly sense their malevolent intentions towards him.
"Senior, I really meant no offense. I was just chased to the depths of this jungle, inadvertently disturbing your solitude. I hope for your understanding."
Ling Xiao felt a sinking sensation in his heart. This person clearly didn’t want to let him leave easily.
But what exactly did she want, he still couldn’t figure out.
Because if she had only wanted to kill him, there was no need to have brought him here.
"Were you the one who caused all that commotion just now?"
Finally, her question got to the heart of the matter.
Ling Xiao’s heart twitched a bit nervously. Answering this question poorly could land him in trouble.
After a moment, he smiled and said, "You jest, Senior. How could a merely Fourth Cave Heaven Realm martial artist like me cause such a commotion? It was the Sixth Evil Star of the Black Crow Empire, a Soul Clansman, with the ability to communicate with different worlds."
Anyway, the Sixth Evil Star was already dead, and blaming a dead person meant there would be no evidence to contradict him.
