Crisis (II)
"What? You want to go in? No, absolutely not! You finally got out, and now you want to go back in? That's like walking into a trap!" Langyue shook her head firmly upon hearing this.
It disagreed; it would rather Fanxin give up Wolf Valley. Because what the Blood King wanted was Fanxin, and if Fanxin went in, it would suit his purposes perfectly.
"Not necessarily. It's all seawater outside right now. He won't do anything to me unless he wants to die," Fanxin said.
"How can you be sure? If he gets you inside that blood sphere, you won't be able to escape," Langyue said, shaking her head.
"If things continue like this, we'll never be able to defeat the Blood King," Fanxin said dejectedly. He didn't want to waste any more time here, as he had already been here for almost a year and needed to find his parents; he didn't have time to stay any longer.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. If anything happens, I'll run out immediately," Fanxin said, nudging Langyue.
Langyue can create giant air wolves, which he needs to go inside. Humans can't stay underwater for long; if they lack oxygen, they'll suffocate. But if he has giant air wolves, he can replenish his oxygen supply from them.
"Let's wait for Ren Fang and Little Black to arrive before we talk," Langyue said after a moment's thought.
It dared not make such a decision; if something went wrong, Ren Fang and Little Black would blame it. Once they were all here and discussed it together, it would have no qualms about making the decision.
"Alright, let's wait for them to come over." Fanxin nodded helplessly upon hearing this. The giant air wolf belonged to Langyue, and since Langyue disagreed, forcing her was useless. Therefore, he could only agree to Langyue's request.
Half an hour later, Ren Fang and Little Black returned.
They brought a sumptuous lunch and, after arriving at Fanxin and Langyue's side, placed a board on the ground and laid the food on it. Ren Fang served each of them a bowl of rice, saying, "Alright, eat quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Fanxin nodded, picked up his bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat. He was going to fight the Blood King soon, and he wouldn't have any weapons to fight if he didn't fill his stomach. Langyue didn't say anything either and ate her meal seriously.
After finishing his meal, Fanxin brought up his suggestion. He looked expectantly at Ren Fang and Little Black, hoping they would agree. If they did, things would be much easier for him.
"No, you're courting death if you go like that. I don't agree." Ren Fang refused decisively upon hearing this. She didn't want Fanxin to die; the Blood King wanted him dead, how could he go in?
"I disagree too, Fanxin. We've been friends for over ten years. I can't watch you die." The Little Black Cat stood up, looked at Fanxin, and said earnestly.
"Alright! Since you all disagree, then give me a solution: how to deal with that Blood King," Fanxin asked, looking at everyone.
Upon hearing this, Ren Fang, Little Black, and Langyue were speechless. What could they possibly do? If they had a solution, they wouldn't have been waiting around doing nothing. They would have already stepped in to help when Fanxin was being tortured by the Blood King.
"That's it. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub, so I have to take the plunge. Don't worry, I won't die. I still have things to finish," Fanxin said confidently.
"Since that's the case, then go. You must come back alive, understand? Otherwise, I'll hate you for the rest of my life." Ren Fang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Fanxin and said fiercely.
Fanxin saved her life; without Fanxin, she might still be suffering. She hasn't repaid Fanxin yet, so no matter what, Fanxin cannot die. If he dies, she'll never be able to repay him.
Her viciousness was all to force Fanxin to be extremely careful, because it was no peaceful place inside, and if Fanxin wasn't careful, he would die there.
"Okay, don't worry!" Fanxin Xin nodded.
The Little Black Cat glanced at Fanxin Xin, said nothing more, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Fanxin then looked at Langyue and said, "Create me an air giant wolf, I want to go in."
"Alright!" Seeing that neither Ren Fang nor the Little Black Cat objected, Langyue nodded helplessly. It activated its power, creating two giant air wolves, which it then placed in front of Fanxin.
"Report on your situation at any time. If anything goes wrong, I will drain all the seawater from Wolf Valley," Langyue said.
Fanxin nodded, and then he led the giant air wolf into the giant tower.
He swam with all his might, and after twenty minutes, he crossed the eighth floor and entered the ninth floor.
He approached the blood-red sphere and tapped it. He didn't attack; if even Sea Kings couldn't destroy it, he certainly couldn't.
His purpose in doing this was to let the Blood King know that he had entered.
Sure enough, the Blood King, inside the crimson sphere, immediately sensed it. He grinned and said, "Kid, I knew you'd come in, as long as you still want this Wolf Valley."
"Blood King, how about we make a deal?" Fanxin pondered for a moment before speaking.
"A deal? What kind of deal?" Blood King paused for a moment, then asked.
"Heh, you want my body? Fine, I'll give it to you. But whether you can take it or not is up to you," Fanxin said. "In exchange, you must give me this Wolf Valley."
"Hmph, your body is mine now, what do you still need this Wolf Valley for!" the Blood King asked, puzzled.
"This is Wolf Valley, the slumbering place of the Wolf God. I have a friend, a member of the Wolf Clan, as you saw earlier. I intend to give this to him. If you agree, then I agree. If you disagree, then I will leave now. From now on, you will only be confined to a small blood sphere. I will never come in again, and I will never care about you again. After I die, I will place Wolf Valley deep in the ocean. Hmph, you will live alone in endless darkness, all by yourself!" Fanxin smiled and said, "You probably don't want that, do you?"
"Hmph, you're quite the manipulator, you've actually got my heart wrapped around your finger. Indeed, I don't want to stay here any longer." The Blood King nodded and said, "Alright, I agree to your request."
"Then I agree. At the same time, I'll grant you one condition: if you fail to take over my body, I'll allow you to reside in my brain. However, after that, your lifespan will be limited." Fanxin Xin smiled and said, "Whether you agree or not is your own business."
"How can you be so sure I will fail?" the Blood King asked curiously.
"Hehe, because I'm not someone who can be easily defeated, your chances of failure are very high," Fanxin said with a smile.
