Son of the Phantom Water Wolf King

"Damn it!"

Seeing the Wave-Treading Bull charging at him like a tank, Gu Han's expression changed drastically.

He quickly put the Water Essence Lotus into his embrace, then discarded the Water Snake's corpse like trash by the lake.

Without another word, he turned and fled!

The Wave-Treading Bull was currently furious to the extreme!

First, it was deceived by the Phantom Water Wolf, almost having the Water Essence Lotus stolen.

Then, this human brat took advantage of its inattention and directly stole the Water Essence Lotus!

The earth-shattering bull roar made the beasts in the surrounding mountains and forests tremble.

A One-star Seventh-Order Wave-Treading Bull was absolutely the overlord of this entire area!

However, the Wave-Treading Bull's advantages were its water control abilities and astonishing strength.

After leaving the lake water, even with all its might, it could only watch as Gu Han's distance from it grew further and further.

But Gu Han didn't dare to relax, gritting his teeth and desperately fleeing!

Not long after, Gu Han had long since thrown the Wave-Treading Bull far behind him.

The enraged Wave-Treading Bull stopped after chasing for a while, its nostrils continuously spewing out angry breaths.

But no matter how angry it was, it knew it was impossible to catch this human brat today.

The Wave-Treading Bull let out a few low bellows, warning Gu Han not to approach its territory again, before galloping back to the lake.

It was all the Phantom Water Wolf's fault for attracting its attention, giving this brat an opportunity.

In the Wave-Treading Bull's eyes, the Phantom Water Wolf was the culprit behind it all!

Since it couldn't catch this brat, it would tear the Phantom Water Wolf to shreds!

It, the Wave-Treading Bull, was not to be trifled with!

As the Wave-Treading Bull turned to gallop away, it noticed Gu Han closely trailing behind it.

When it stopped, Gu Han would also stop, maintaining a safe distance.

After trying to stop abruptly a few times, the Wave-Treading Bull chose to give up.

This brat was too slippery; the Phantom Water Wolf was much easier to bully!

However, when the Wave-Treading Bull returned to the lake, it was stunned.

Where was the Phantom Water Wolf's shadow on the lake now?

So, the Phantom Water Wolf's near-death state earlier was all an act?

The Wave-Treading Bull, feeling like it had drawn an empty basket, was furious and let out a bellow that echoed through the mountains and forests.

Even the leaves on the trees by the lake were shaken loose.

After a few moments of impotent rage, it dove into the lake, intending to turn its sorrow and anger into appetite!

The unfortunate victims became the fish and shrimp in the lake.

All of this was within Gu Han's expectations.

The reason he followed the Wave-Treading Bull back was to hunt down the fleeing Phantom Water Wolf!

No matter what, the Phantom Water Wolf possessed the strength of a Sixth-tier Martial Apprentice, and the gains from killing it would far exceed those from Fourth-Order and Fifth-Order beasts.

Apart from the Wave-Treading Bull, the beasts around the lake posed no threat to Gu Han.

Gu Han remained wary of the Wave-Treading Bull, not giving it a chance to ambush him.

He, meanwhile, searched by the lake and soon found a trail mixed with bloodstains and lake water.

"This should be the direction the Phantom Water Wolf fled."

Gu Han immediately followed the trail.

Twisting and turning through the forest, after about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Gu Han finally saw the Phantom Water Wolf, having lost all its strength and collapsed on the ground.

At this moment, the Phantom Water Wolf had only a breath left.

Its chest still rose and fell slightly, but it no longer had the strength to stand.

There were two tear tracks on the Phantom Water Wolf's face as it looked helplessly towards the distant mountains.

"Beasts may not have the same healing methods as humans, but this place is far from the lake. The Phantom Water Wolf could have found a place to recover from its injuries. Why the rush to come here?"

Gu Han looked curiously at the direction the Phantom Water Wolf's eyes were facing and then noticed what seemed to be an inconspicuous Small cave there.

At the same time, a few tender wolf howls could be heard from within the cave.

Understanding the sequence of events, Gu Han sighed helplessly.

"I didn't expect the Phantom Water Wolf to be so sentimental."

The Phantom Water Wolf probably felt it wouldn't last much longer, which was why it was in such a hurry to return to see its cubs.

It never expected, however, that it wouldn't be able to make it back and would bleed to death here, unable to see its cubs one last time.

"Fine, then I'll send you on your way."

Gu Han sighed.

Before transmigrating, Gu Han had been a genuine rural left-behind child since he was young.

He only got to see his parents once a year during the New Year.

He could naturally deeply understand the Little Phantom Water Wolf's feelings.

However, even at this point, he didn't let his guard down and easily approached the Little Phantom Water Wolf.

These demonic beasts were cunning and sly; someone as simple as him could easily be deceived!

Gu Han walked straight into the cave. In the dim light, he quickly found a Little Phantom Water Wolf that was crying out for food.

The Little Phantom Water Wolf seemed to sense its mother was nearby, letting out a soft cry.

This Little Phantom Water Wolf was extremely small, its eyes not even open yet.

Its fur was a lake-blue color, incredibly soft, making one want to pet it just by looking.

"Like ordinary wolf packs, Phantom Water Wolves are likely pack animals and prefer to live near water,"

Gu Han mused, "The fact that this Phantom Water Wolf mother and child are in this cave probably means they encountered some mishap."

Gu Han picked up the Little Phantom Water Wolf. Sensing an unfamiliar presence, the Little Phantom Water Wolf immediately struggled.

But the Little Phantom Water Wolf had just been born; even a First-tier Martial Apprentice could easily subdue it, so it was naturally powerless to resist Gu Han.

Gu Han walked out of the cave with the Little Phantom Water Wolf, only to see the adult Phantom Water Wolf lying on the ground.

It struggled and roared, trying to get into the cave, seemingly worried that Gu Han wanted to snatch its child.

Seeing Gu Han emerge holding the Little Phantom Water Wolf, the Phantom Water Wolf's chest heaved violently as if it would explode, letting out a low growl.

Gu Han could clearly feel that the Phantom Water Wolf wouldn't last much longer before it passed away.

He understood the Phantom Water Wolf's worries and crouched down, placing the Little Phantom Water Wolf beside the adult.

Seeing Gu Han had no hostile intent, the Phantom Water Wolf finally relaxed a little.

It extended its tongue and used the rough papillae on it to groom the Little Phantom Water Wolf's fur.

The Little Phantom Water Wolf, in turn, extended its tongue and patiently licked its mother's wounds, trying to heal her.

Using its last moments of life, the Phantom Water Wolf finished grooming the Little Phantom Water Wolf's fur and, with all its remaining strength, pushed the Little Phantom Water Wolf towards Gu Han.

"Awooo..."

The Phantom Water Wolf's howl was no longer bright, but revealed the decline of a life nearing its end.

Gu Han didn't understand the Phantom Water Wolf's howl, but he understood that the wolf seemed to want to entrust its child to him.

At the same time, a familiar system notification sound suddenly rang in Gu Han's ears.

"Ding, congratulations to the Host for gaining the Phantom Water Wolf's recognition. It wishes to entrust the Son of the Phantom Water Wolf King to the Host."

"It is recommended that the Host agree to take in the Son of the Phantom Water Wolf King, which can unlock the Battle Pet function."

The system notifications rang out one after another, causing a flicker of surprise in Gu Han.

He looked at the Phantom Water Wolf, its eyes filled with pleading, and the Little Phantom Water Wolf lying at his feet.

"The Son of the Phantom Water Wolf King, is it this miserable?"
