Chapter 11 Mutant Gale Wolf
Suddenly, a deafening roar boomed through the forest, carrying boundless majesty, like the roar of an ancient beast awakening, penetrating every leaf and every breeze, causing the entire forest to tremble.
Lu Lingxi stood on the forest path, her brows furrowed, a look of seriousness flashing in her eyes.
She thought to herself, no wonder the birdsong and insect chirps had disappeared along the way; it turned out that a powerful spirit beast was hiding among them.
Lu Lingxi silently thought to herself, "This is not a place to stay for long."
She knew that although her cultivation was not bad, she was still insignificant in front of a spirit beast of this level, and she had to leave this dangerous area as soon as possible.
Just as Lu Lingxi was preparing to leave, a gust of wind suddenly rose, and a swift wolf, four or five meters long, suddenly appeared in front of her.
The enormous wolf face suddenly loomed closer, its eyes, gleaming with an eerie green light, were like deep, icy pools, almost touching Lu Lingxi's nose. The intense wildness and threat emanating from it nearly suffocated her.
Even though she was known for her composure, she was startled by the sudden wolf face. Her heart skipped a beat, her pupils contracted, and she was stunned for a moment.
But in just a second, she quickly regained her composure, pushed off the ground with both legs, and shot backward like an arrow.
Seeing this, the Gale Wolf let out a low growl of resentment, stomped its four paws on the ground, and followed closely behind, clearly unwilling to let go of this human who had suddenly intruded into its territory.
However, with her superb agility, she skillfully weaved through the trees, maneuvering against the Gale Wolf and gradually widening the distance between them.
At that moment, Ling Shu's voice suddenly rang in his mind, carrying a hint of barely concealed excitement.
"Master, this is a nine-star high-grade spirit beast—a mutated Gale Wolf, which is extremely rare."
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi frowned slightly, a hint of confusion and curiosity flashing in her eyes. She asked softly, "Spirit beasts...are they also divided into levels? I originally thought they just had different abilities and forms."
Upon hearing this, Ling Shu gently explained, "The realm of spirit beasts is vast and boundless, with a strict hierarchy and its own set of laws governing the world. In short, spirit beasts can be divided into six realms: ordinary spirit beasts are those whose spirits are just beginning to awaken, possessing spiritual charm but not yet showing extraordinary qualities; then there are intermediate spirit beasts, whose intelligence is gradually developing and who can already cast some spells; above that, there are advanced spirit beasts, whose strength is formidable and who can stand out in their clans, leading a region; as for sacred beasts, they are the best among spirit beasts, not only possessing extraordinary strength but also containing the secrets of heaven and earth, making them extremely rare and difficult to obtain; divine beasts are legendary beings, whose breath can change the weather, and which all beasts worship; as for super divine beasts, they are beings beyond the world, rarely seen, and whose power is enough to shake the universe. Each level is further divided into nine stars."
"And this one before me, though still young, has already shown extraordinary potential. I can clearly sense that two completely different spiritual energies flow within it—one is like a gentle spring breeze, soft and swift, the lightness of wind-type power; the other is like a raging blaze, fiery and domineering, the power of fire-type power not to be underestimated. It is truly a miracle that these two completely opposite elements can coexist harmoniously within it."
"What's even more amazing is that when it comes of age, its entire body will turn into a brilliant red, like a phoenix born from flames. Not only will it be incredibly beautiful, but it will also be one of the best among mutated spirit beasts, and it will be extremely rare to find one in ten thousand years. If one can get help from such a being, one will receive unprecedented assistance."
At this point, Ling Shu's tone became more urgent.
"Therefore, Master, please cherish this rare opportunity and find a suitable way to form a contract with it as soon as possible."
"A contract? How do we form a contract?"
In this deep and unfathomable forest, a series of wolf howls suddenly rang out behind Lu Lingxi, like the low groan of death, making her heart almost leap out of her chest.
Each howl was accompanied by an indescribable chill that struck deep into her soul, causing her to shiver involuntarily.
Lu Lingxi's face was covered with fine beads of sweat, making her look quite disheveled.
She ran forward desperately, her legs seemingly driven by an invisible force, constantly overcoming obstacle after obstacle in front of her. Tree branches, vines, and uneven ground all became sources of hope for her escape.
However, the threat from behind remained ever-present.
The enormous wolf face magnified in her memory, its ferocious fangs and eerily green eyes a testament to the impending threat of death.
Every time she thought of this, Lu Lingxi felt a strong sense of despair welling up in her heart, but she knew that once she stopped, there would be no turning back.
The wind whistled past my ears, carrying the rustling of leaves and weaving with the howling of wolves into a heart-pounding symphony.
She gritted her teeth and continued to move at top speed through the dense forest, searching for a glimmer of hope.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Lu Lingxi Yao's exhausted yet resilient figure.
Her breathing became heavy and rapid, each breath accompanied by violent heaving of her chest, a reminder that her strength was nearly exhausted.
Suddenly, the Gale Wolf slammed its front paws down, sending an unstoppable gust of wind hurtling towards them.
Lu Lingxi Yao reacted surprisingly quickly. Almost instinctively, she turned to the side and rolled away as lightly as a leaf in the wind, using only her last bit of strength to avoid the potentially fatal attack.
However, even with such agility, the sharpness of the wolf's claws still inadvertently left several shocking bloody marks on her left arm in the instant she dodged. The blood quickly seeped into her clothes, turning that white patch into a glaring red.
She was half-kneeling and half-lying on the ground, her body trembling slightly from pain and tension, but her eyes burned with an indomitable flame.
This was the first time in her life that she had faced the threat of death so closely. The despair of teetering on the edge of death, with every second potentially becoming eternity, made her soul feel as if it had been torn in two.
On one hand, there is the desire to survive, like a traveler searching for water in the desert;
On the other hand, there is the helplessness and sorrow of facing an inescapable fate, like the destiny of fallen leaves returning to their roots.
However, in this abyss of despair, she also miraculously felt an unprecedented clarity and determination.
Even in this life-or-death moment, we must never give up the struggle, because as long as there is still a breath left, there is always hope to turn the tide.
So she used all her strength to press her injured arm tightly under her body to reduce blood loss.
In that life-or-death moment, the air seemed to freeze, and all the surrounding noise quietly faded away.
The Gale Wolf, a creature that should have been running freely and wildly in the wilderness, approached Lu Lingxi Yao with an unprecedented gentleness.
Its steps were light and cautious, each step seemingly probing, searching for the most suitable distance between itself and the human girl.
When the Swift Wolf finally stood still, its eyes, which usually gleamed with a sharp light, were now as gentle as water, slowly lowered, and filled with trust and reliance.
Then, it made an unexpected move—gently, almost cautiously, it brought its massive head close to Lu Lingxi Yao, its nose, covered in soft fur, lightly brushing against her cheek.
At this moment, Lu Lingxi's heart started racing involuntarily. She froze, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, before being enveloped by an indescribable warmth.
The Swift Wolf's movements were not threatening at all, but full of affection and longing. It seemed to have truly transformed into a puppy seeking its owner's love, expressing its emotions in the most direct and pure way.
It lay down beside Lu Lingxi, its body relaxed and stretched out, its tail swaying gently.
Lu Lingxi stared at this incredible scene, then slowly reached out and gently stroked the head of the Gale Wolf.
Ling Shu's voice echoed in his mind again, "Master, now is the time. I will teach you the Beast Contract Technique."
As Ling Shu finished speaking, an ancient and mysterious energy fluctuation seemed to permeate the air, making everything around seem unreal.
She slowly extended her slender finger and, without the slightest hesitation, gently bit her fingertip, from which a bright red bead of blood immediately oozed out.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Lingxi Yao, with an almost pious gesture, gently placed the blood from her fingertip onto the Swiftwind Wolf's brow.
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, all the sounds around her vanished without a trace, leaving only the subtle connection between her and the Gale Wolf quietly being established.
With my blood as the bond, with your thoughts as the lock.
I will draw your soul to me, to share life and death, to be bound by our destiny.
With the power of Heaven as witness, I hereby enter into a master-servant contract with you, which will never be broken.
契！
Lu Lingxi began to chant ancient and mysterious incantations, each word containing boundless power.
Her voice was soft yet firm, like a clear mountain spring or an ancient ballad, echoing throughout the world.
As the incantation continued, the Gale Wolf's body began to emit a faint light, the spiritual light of a spirit beast, signifying that its soul was being awakened and a deep contractual bond was being established with Lu Lingxi Yao.
Finally, as the last syllable fell, a warm and powerful force surged between Lu Lingxi and the Gale Wolf, binding them tightly together.
Contract complete!
As a gentle breeze swept by, it brought with it the familiar yet distant call of the Gale Wolf. This call transcended the boundaries of time and space, and the barriers of the heart, directly touching the deepest part of Lu Lingxi Yao's soul.
It was not merely a resonance between living beings, but an intertwining and entanglement of their destinies, reaching an unprecedented height at that moment.
She could clearly feel the unruly yet incredibly loyal soul of the Gale Wolves, and the indescribable understanding and trust between them.
Under the pull of this force, the spiritual power within Lu Lingxi Yao's body seemed to be ignited, surging and boiling wildly.
Every cell in her body was cheering, every wisp of spiritual energy was transforming, and she was striving towards a higher realm.
Finally, with a clear and melodious cry, Lu Lingxi Yao's aura suddenly surged, as if she had broken through some invisible shackle and reached a brand new realm—Nine-Star Spirit Master! At the same time, the Gale Wolf also successfully advanced to a One-Star Sacred Beast.
She could feel that the mysterious connection between her and the Gale Wolf had become stronger and deeper, as if the two had become one.
"Master? You...you're actually an all-elemental master?"
The Swift Wolf's voice was filled with disbelief. After a few seconds of stunned silence, its previously tense face gradually relaxed, eventually turning into a satisfied smile.
No wonder, ever since she stepped into this land from the edge of the forest, the Gale Wolf has felt an unprecedented resonance.
At first, it merely peered at the uninvited guest from the shadows of the forest with a curious and wary attitude.
A faint glow seemed to surround her, an aura unique to all spirit masters, capable of dancing harmoniously with the elements of nature.
This aura is undoubtedly extremely attractive and reassuring to a spirit beast that also deeply understands the laws of nature.
As she drew closer, an unprecedented feeling began to surge within it—a pull beyond intuition, as if some unseen force were binding them together.
From that moment on, a gentle yet firm voice echoed in the mind of the Gale Wolf, like a guiding lighthouse, pointing it in the direction of the vast forest until it finally brought her to its side.
Lu Lingxi ignored it, since it posed no threat to her now.
Seeing that it was getting late, and noticing the rich spiritual energy in the Illusion Moon Forest, he decided to find a place to cultivate.
"Little Wolf, return to the Spirit Beast Space."
The Gale Wolf shook its head, unwilling to return to the spirit beast space. As a strange light slowly gathered around it, in the blink of an eye, its agile and majestic figure was gone, replaced by a chubby, fluffy little husky. Its once sharp eyes were now round and watery, full of innocence and curiosity.
The Swift Wolf wagged its short tail and stumbled around in front of Lu Lingxi Yao, each step making a soft "plop" sound, which completely melted her heart.
Lu Lingxi was instantly captivated by its adorable appearance. She involuntarily squatted down, reached out and gently stroked the Swiftwind Wolf's soft fur, her lips curving upwards and her eyes filled with doting affection.
She gently held it in her arms and walked towards the center of the forest, occasionally bending down to gently stroke its round and cute little head.
The Swift Wolf seemed quite content as she stroked it.
"What's your name, little wolf?"
"Master, wolves have no names."
"Since we met here, how about I call you Huan Yue?"
"Mmm, Phantom Moon... Wolf likes it."
As they spoke, they had already arrived deep within the Illusion Moon Forest.
Night had fallen, and the surroundings were gently enveloped by soft, dappled moonlight, as if the whole world were covered by a thin layer of silver gauze.
However, they did not encounter a single spirit beast along the way, which was particularly unusual in the depths of the Illusion Moon Forest, where spirit beasts usually appeared frequently.
She lowered her head, her gaze gently falling on the little wolf in her arms. "Why are there no spirit beasts here? Is it because of you?"
Huan Yue nestled in her warm embrace, its fur gleaming softly in the moonlight. Its clear eyes would occasionally glance around before quickly returning to its nestled comfortably in her arms.
"How dare some low-level spirit beasts challenge my majesty? So they've all hidden themselves away."
Huan Yue's voice was extremely arrogant, a confidence and unruliness that emanated from her very bones, reminding her of her past life—she, who also possessed an unruly soul, always stood proudly with an attitude of "who else in the world is more capable than me" even when facing everything in the world.
Since there is no threat from spirit beasts, one can cultivate here without worrying about sudden attacks that might disrupt the rhythm of cultivation, nor need to worry about unexpected disturbances from outsiders.
