"Roar!"

The angry wolf howl gradually drew closer.

The Wave-Treading Bull, having its chance at the Water Essence Lotus ruined by the Phantom Water Wolf, had been sleeping restlessly lately.

Hearing the wolf howl at this moment, its heart stirred.

It hadn't expected the Phantom Water Wolf to dare show its face again to die!

The Wave-Treading Bull angrily widened its bull eyes, glaring ferociously at the approaching... Little Wolf.

The enraged Wave-Treading Bull's eyes went visibly blank for a moment.

It had thought the Phantom Water Wolf had come for revenge, but it never expected it to be a little runt not even as tall as its calf.

The Little Wolf felt no fear despite the Wave-Treading Bull's massive size.

At this moment, all it felt was anger over its mother's death!

The first thing it saw when it opened its eyes was Gu Han.

To it, Gu Han had become its father figure.

It had never seen its mother alive, so its impression of her wasn't deep.

But during those days of fleeing, it was its mother who had protected it.

The Little Wolf could never forget that.

Thus, it roared and summoned two Phantom Water Clones, charging at the Wave-Treading Bull from three directions.

"Moo!"

The Wave-Treading Bull let out a heavy snort, its gaze filled with disdain.

Even an adult Phantom Water Wolf was no match for it, let alone this little runt?

The Wave-Treading Bull pawed the ground twice with its front hooves and charged forward with an unstoppable momentum.

With two consecutive crashing sounds, the Little Wolf's two Phantom Water Clones were instantly scattered into two clouds of water vapor by the Wave-Treading Bull!

But the next moment, the Wave-Treading Bull's bull eyes widened.

Because the Little Wolf had vanished from its sight!

Immediately after, a sharp pain erupted in its abdomen, giving the Wave-Treading Bull the sensation of its insides being ripped open!

With a sliding tackle, the Little Wolf's sharp claws sliced open the Wave-Treading Bull's belly!

"Moo!"

Amidst the agonizing bull roar, the Wave-Treading Bull's eyes instantly turned blood red. Its four legs stomped wildly on the ground, trying to crush the Little Wolf darting around beneath it.

But the Little Wolf, relying on its astonishing speed and the agility brought by its small size, easily dodged the Wave-Treading Bull's repeated attacks.

Meanwhile, the Little Wolf's attacks continued to leave wounds all over the Wave-Treading Bull's body.

The more violently the rampaging Wave-Treading Bull thrashed, the faster its Vitality drained.

Its aura quickly began to weaken.

In the distance, Gu Han slowly walked towards the Wave-Treading Bull.

He had initially considered helping the Little Wolf out, in case it encountered any danger while dealing with the Wave-Treading Bull.

But now, it seemed he had underestimated the Little Wolf.

Not long after, in what seemed like a playful battle for the Little Wolf, the Wave-Treading Bull's massive body crashed to the ground!

Gu Han stepped forward and touched the Wave-Treading Bull's corpse.

"Absorb Attributes."

"Congratulations Host, you have absorbed 100 Vitality, 10 Water Element Power, and 30 Defense attributes from the Wave-Treading Bull's corpse."

Hearing the System's notification, Gu Han's eyes lit up.

He hadn't expected the Wave-Treading Bull to provide so much Water Element Power!

The demonic beasts he had encountered before that were skilled in water elements had only provided him with at most 1 point of Water Element Power.

And the Wave-Treading Bull had provided a full ten points!

Doesn't this mean that if he found ten Wave-Treading Bulls, he could gather enough Water Element Power for the Little Wolf to break through its bloodline?

"However, it seems that between the demonic beast's Vitality and Element Power, only one can be absorbed each time."

According to the System's description, demonic beasts of one-star, seventh-tier and above could allow him to absorb their blood energy.

The Wave-Treading Bull was clearly a demonic beast with abundant Vitality, yet he hadn't absorbed its blood energy.

"Thinking too much, I'll know once I try with some other demonic beasts."

Before taking action, Gu Han's gaze fell upon the Wave-Treading Bull's corpse.

"Roast whole bull, that seems like a good option."

On the other side, many warriors and logistics soldiers in the camp were discussing when Lei Chao would return.

"It's been almost an hour, why hasn't that guy Lei Chao come back yet?"

"Could Lei Chao have flipped his boat in the gutter and been ambushed by Gu Chen?"

"Don't be ridiculous. If the two were only a minor realm or two apart, then an ambush might be possible. Gu Chen is just a Fifth-Order Martial Disciple. What could he do to ambush Lei Chao? It would be useless."

Everyone was guessing Gu Chen's fate, with only a very small number believing Lei Chao might have flipped his boat in the gutter.

These busybodies were mostly old soldiers. The new recruits were all worried and dejected.

"Gu Lin and the others are still training in the battlefield. They probably don't know that Gu Chen might be in danger. I have to go tell them."

Just as the person stood up, they were stopped.

"If you go now, won't you endanger Gu Lin and the others?"

"Given the relationship between the Gu brothers, if they knew Gu Chen was in danger, they would definitely risk their lives to save him, and then they wouldn't be able to escape this ordeal either."

"Sigh, are all these generals and instructors just watching those old soldiers bully us?"

"The instructors each have their own things to do. Lei Chao and Gu Chen are only out on the surface. The instructors can't just follow them around doing nothing."

"That may be so, but I still can't stomach it. Someone like Gu Chen will achieve great things in the future. It's too much of a loss for him to die at Lei Chao's hands."

"If you can't stomach it, then go help Gu Chen get revenge and kill Lei Chao."

"If I had the ability, I'd be the first one up! But I don't."

The people who were discussing suddenly felt a few cold gazes and instinctively looked back.

Immediately, their expressions changed slightly.

"Gu Lin, Gu Jing..."

Gu Lin and the others had just finished training and walked over, hearing their discussion. Their faces immediately turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Gu Lin asked in a deep voice, "Which direction did Gu Chen's Elder Brother and Lei Chao go?"

The few people exchanged glances and sighed helplessly.

"Gu Lin, maybe Gu Chen isn't in danger..."

However, before he could finish, Gu Lin interrupted him.

"I understand what you mean, but we can't just stand by and watch Gu Chen's Elder Brother bear everything alone!"

At this moment, they still didn't know that Gu Han had also left the camp.

If they had known, they would have been even more panicked!

"Yang Tian, please tell me, which direction did Gu Chen's Elder Brother leave in."

Yang Tian looked at Gu Lin's expression and knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade him, it would be useless. He could only point in a direction outside the camp.

"That direction."

Gu Lin nodded and led Gu Jing and the other two, walking out of the camp without hesitation.

Yang Tian's gaze was hesitant, and he said helplessly, "It's been an hour. Even if you rush over now, it will be too late."

"We want to see him alive, or find his body."

Gu Lin replied briefly.

He knew that the three of them were no match for Lei Chao.

But they couldn't let Gu Chen's body be left exposed in the wilderness!

In the eyes of the four, there was only determination!

If they unfortunately encountered Lei Chao, they would just die together!
