A large hole barely covered by leaves appeared right in front of the Wolf King!
It was a trap set by those despicable humans!
A humanlike, mocking smile appeared on the Wolf King's face!
It opened its huge mouth, forming an energy bullet inside before shooting it out with tremendous force!
The recoil abruptly changed the Wolf King's direction in midair!
An Xinghe, however, once again revealed a triumphant smile!
Chapter 46: An Xinghe's Past.
Just as the Wolf King used the recoil of the energy bullet to dodge to the side, a huge stone slab covered in spikes rose from the ground!
An Xinghe had long since guessed that the Wolf King might know some magic, so he had prepared a second measure!
The Wolf King was once again astonished by humanity's despicable cunning and intelligence, but he was the Wolf King!
The king of the wolf pack! The strongest being in the forest!
It exerted force with all four legs and stomped hard on the ground. As if defying the basic laws of physics, it stopped its sideways charge.
However, before the Wolf King could celebrate for long, he discovered that the ground beneath his feet had caved in!
Was this... the third trap? Or a chain trap?!
Despicable two-legged creature!
This time, the Wolf King had no chance to struggle. He fell straight into the pit below, where neat rows of spikes awaited him!
The Wolf King refused to sit around and wait for death. Energy bullets continuously shot from his mouth, instantly smashing the spikes to pieces!
Lin Yan, who was above, could not help covering his head with his hands when he saw this.
If the Wolf King knew what was beneath the spikes, he would probably rather be stabbed to death.
After the spikes were destroyed, the Wolf King saw that beneath them lay another layer of viscous gray matter, bubbling and giving off a foul stench!
Its academic name was Golden Juice.
Simply put, it was feces.
The Wolf King let out a mournful, shrill howl. Anyone who heard it would be heartbroken and shed tears.
Livestream chat.
[Let us mourn the Wolf King for one second!]
[An Xinghe is way too ruthless! He even used Golden Juice!]
[If I ever meet An Xinghe in the future, I'm definitely going to avoid him!]
[Could a human really come up with this kind of trap?]
[Even dying would be better than falling into this trap!]
[I finally understand. Apart from his looks being different from ours, An Xinghe's thought process is also bizarre beyond belief!]
Although the Wolf King continued howling from the bottom of the pit, the two scumbags above did not feel even a shred of sympathy.
An Xinghe took out the F2, while Lin Yan also pulled out a small pistol, and they continuously poured bullets into the pit.
Although each attack dealt very little damage, they had dug the pit extremely deep and were not at all worried that the Wolf King might climb out.
The video of the Wolf King falling into the trap also began spreading wildly online.
Whether it was An Xinghe's three consecutive traps, which seemed to demonstrate prophetic abilities, or his final use of Golden Juice, both became hot topics of discussion.
At this moment, people asked that question again.
Did anyone know An Xinghe in real life? Someone with looks like his should not have remained unknown!
And this time, someone really did respond!
She claimed to be An Xinghe's senior from his former university and specially wrote a lengthy post about him:
As a senior who has secretly loved An Xinghe ever since he entered university, let me tell you about him!
He was a Chinese-language student at S University, and the day he entered university, he caused a sensation!
That junior was simply too good-looking! I felt my heart melt!
According to statistics, he received no fewer than thirty love letters on his very first day at university! After that, he received one or two love letters or confessions almost every day.
At first, it was only the girls from the Chinese department. Then it spread to the foreign languages department, the medical department, and eventually all of S University!
The second time the junior became famous was during a mass computer-virus incident at S University!
The school invited a renowned cybersecurity expert to investigate, but in the end, the trail actually led to the junior!
The real reason was that one of the junior's roommates wanted to pursue a girl and asked the junior to use a virus to wreck her computer.
But the junior accidentally made the virus send itself to everyone.
You have to understand, the junior was a Chinese-language student...
The campus was not peaceful, and neither was the outside world!
Almost every day, luxury cars stopped outside the school gates waiting for the junior. Most of the women inside were glamorous and wealthy.
There were even rumors that someone had spotted a major celebrity among them.
The junior was no monk, either. He had dated two girls while at school.
During that period, one could hear crying from the female dormitory almost every night. The school nearly thought it was haunted and prepared to invite an exorcist to perform a ritual!
After that came the part where the junior was dragged into the horror game.
I have to say it again here! No matter how many times I see him, the junior is still just as handsome!!
Your senior will always love you!! Your senior will wait for you to come out! If you don't come out, your senior will go in and find you!
Rumors about An Xinghe were flying everywhere in the real world, while things were much quieter inside the horror game.
Although the Wolf King was tough, he still died under the reckless hail of bullets from An Xinghe and Lin Yan.
Then the two of them decided through rock-paper-scissors who would go down and cut off the Wolf King's head. Unexpectedly, An Xinghe ignored martial ethics and ambushed Lin Yan!
He kicked him straight into the pit!
Chapter 47: The Mermaid Clan's Past
The two successfully retrieved the Wolf King's head and gave it to Little Red Riding Hood.
However, when Little Red Riding Hood saw that both of Lin Yan's feet were covered in Golden Juice, she refused to let him enter the house no matter what!
At the same time, Little Red Riding Hood kept her promise and gave her red hood to An Xinghe.
After receiving this third item, An Xinghe asked:
"Uncle, have you ever heard of the mermaid princess?"
Little Red Riding Hood's uncle glanced at him.
"That's a story every child knows! You've never heard it?"
An Xinghe smiled.
"When I was little, I was only thinking about how to practice rising air currents, so I never studied properly."
"Ahahaha!" The uncle laughed heartily. "Then let me tell you about it!"
"About five hundred years ago, the mermaid clan and humanity were very good friends. Merfolk were naturally capable of using magic."
"However, at some point, a rumor began spreading among the people: the reason merfolk could use magic was because they possessed Red Scale!"
"By Red Scale, they meant a red scale that grew on a merfolk's forehead from childhood! According to merfolk custom, it could only be removed and offered to one's lover on the night of marriage, as a symbol of eternal devotion!"
"Whether a merfolk possessed Red Scale or not was the direct standard for determining whether they had started a family."
"After that, another rumor arose in human society: if a child under the age of one ate Red Scale, they would gain the aptitude to become a mage!"
"No one knew who struck first, but humans began hunting merfolk on a massive scale, all for the sake of Red Scale!"
"This frenzied campaign lasted about a year, and several thousand merfolk were killed."
"At the same time, because humans vastly outnumbered merfolk, the merfolk had no way to resist and could only flee to the deep sea!"
"The most ridiculous part was that Red Scale was eventually proven to have absolutely no use for magical aptitude!"
"But the merfolk never returned. By the time the last merfolk appeared before the world, three hundred years had already passed."
An Xinghe was somewhat stunned. How was he supposed to complete the mission now?
Wasn't this ridiculous?!
Little Red Riding Hood saw what An Xinghe was thinking and asked:
"Are you looking for the mermaid clan?"
"Yes!"
"What are you looking for them for?"
"Cultural exchange."
I can't exactly say that I'm looking for their princess so I can get her scales, can I? Besides, given the horror game system's usual behavior, the scale it mentioned definitely isn't an ordinary scale from the mermaid princess. It must be that Red Scale!
Seeing the pained expression on An Xinghe's face, Little Red Riding Hood said:
"Actually, before the mermaid clan left, they left behind a prophecy."
An Xinghe hurriedly asked:
"What did it say?!"
"'The warrior who abandons life, following the guidance of fairy tales, shall find the mermaid clan open its gates to him.'"
Little Red Riding Hood's uncle did not know anything else. An Xinghe walked out of the wooden hut, and Lin Yan came over to him.
"Did you get the mission item?"
An Xinghe took out the hood and waved it, then told Lin Yan about the mermaid clan.
The two of them could not yet decipher what the mermaid clan's prophecy meant, so they decided to first head for the place where the mermaids had once gathered: Narrow Beach.
