43 Chapter 43: Powerful existence! (1/2)
The mother continued to stare at Duan Li as the cub ran towards her. Her stare made Duan Li felt as if the tip of a sword was being pressed right in front of his throat right now. If he dared to move even a muscle, he will definitely die without a doubt!
”Little buddy! Please tell your mother that I was the one who had saved you!” Duan Li was praying for himself inwardly.
Arrff Arrff!
The cub then appeared to be communicating with its mother as the latter listened attentively. Her gaze was gentle and full of warmth as she nodded after listening to everything that her child has to say.
Duan Li couldn't help but to remember his own mother that was now alone back at the Xuan village.
The mother of the cub then turned to look at Duan Li as that suppressive aura of her's was reigned in.
”Human, it seems that according to my son, you had protected him from danger and even healed his injured leg. For this, I am in debt with you.” said the wolf as it nodded.
Duan Li was a little bit startled when the wolf communicated to him this way. It was because of two things. One, is that it spoke in human language. Two, is that it communicated with him directly through telepathy!
As far as his memories goes, he had never encountered a talking beast as such, except the peculiar talking tree, Ancestor Zong. Unable to contain his curiosity, Duan Li asked slowly.
”You.. can talk?” said Duan Li.
”Indeed. We are of the species called Fenrir from the ninth region. My name is Milvia, and my son here is Daelius.” replied the mother.
Milvia...?
Daelius...?
Why does their name sounded so foreign to him?
Noticing the expression of Duan Li, the mother called Milvia chuckled.
”It is natural for you to find our names foreign to your tongue. After all, we came from the Norse world.”
”The Norse world?” said Duan Li as his brows furrowed together. Somehow, he had once heard of this word in his memories. But he just can't recall it entirely.
”Never mind. Human, are you willing to take a look at my injuries?” continued the mother.
Upon hearing her request, naturally Duan Li wasn't able to refuse. After all, this wolf in front of him was so intimidating even in its weakened state!
Thus, he had no choice but to acede to her request with a nod as he walked closer.
...
Somewhere in the sky...
”You fool! What do you think you are doing?!” shouted the old man as he rose from his sitting position.
He had just managed to recover over half of his total strength and hoped that Duan Li could buy him some more time. Instead, the other party was about to try and heal the Fenrir!
For the old man, even if he was at his peak right now, the odds of him fighting it out against a mythical creature from the Ninth region would at most be a draw. This was because each mythical creatures in the Ninth region has a heaven-revolting strength!
Thankfully, this Fenrir here was only at the early stage of the immortal ascension realm, the same as him. If it were to be any more than that, he would definitely had to risk his life to protect this region if it suddenly turned hostile!
Suddenly, he felt a towering pressure over him as a voice resounded into his mind through telepathy.
”Guardian, please be rest assured. I mean no harm and has only accidentally passed through here as I tried to escape from my pursuit.” the voice said with a monotone.
The old man was a little bit surprised as he didn't expect for his whereabouts to be located that easily by the Fenrir.
”Why should I trust you?” he replied cautiously through telepathy as well.
”I shall waste no effort in explaining myself to you more than once. If you believe me, good. If you don't, then come. We shall fight it out to the end!” replied the mother as its aura slowly rose.
Kuh!
The old man could feel from the increasing pressure alone that, eventhough the Fenrir was currently injured and their realm is of the same level, the Fenrir was more stronger than him by a few notch!
After all, a beast was born with more strength to them compared to a human since birth.
”Fine! But if I sense that you were about to do any harm, even if I have to sacrifice my life on the line, I will kill you!” replied the old man coldly as his aura also surged out rapidly.
Boom!
Boom!
A clash of aura was happening right now above the sky as the old man pushed the pressure exerted onto him by the Fenrir.
Trying to bare your fangs against me?
That would depend if you have the capability!
It is true that you are a little bit stronger than me, but so what? I have a lot of treasures I can use to increase my powers!
Who's afraid of whom?!
...
The mother did not bother to reply to the old man above the sky as its gaze followed the approaching Duan Li.
”Hmm... these bite marks are fairly deep... If I wanted to heal it at my current suppressed state, it would take me a few days... Guess I'll have to unseal my cultivation states to the level 3 then!” said Duan Li to himself as he cupped his chin.
Boom!
