The word "save."
Wasn't exactly accurate, either.
Long Ying's life or death did affect Bai Zhou, but not all that much.
Because if she died, he would definitely be considered to have obstructed most of Protagonist Chu Yun's fortune.
He could gain a large amount of Destined Villain Value in one go.
But if Long Ying did not die, his Villain Value would instead grow steadily over time.
Either way, it would ultimately provide a large amount of Destined Villain Value.
What Bai Zhou cared more about was this bizarre-looking thing.
Spider Wolf.
The name was rather careless, but Bai Zhou could not do anything about it, since that was what the original novel called it.
This thing was Chu Yun's true opportunity in taking this mission!
The necklace in Long Ying's hand could at most be considered foreshadowing.
But this Spider Wolf was what truly forced Chu Yun into a desperate situation.
Then, after surviving that desperate situation, Chu Yun further awakened part of the potential of Lin Wei, the Ultra SSS-Class spirit weapon. With the old grandpa in his mind helping him, he managed to escape death.
And more importantly, there was what happened after Chu Yun killed this Spider Wolf!
Bai Zhou's intervention now was more importantly meant to test the Spider Wolf's strength.
Although he currently only possessed A+-level Spirit Master talent.
Because of the Peerless Sword Casket and Life-and-Death Contract granted by his system, he had directly unlocked Lin Wei's complete form.
Furthermore, both he and Lin Wei were now Level 3, countless times stronger than Chu Yun had been when he encountered the Spider Wolf in the original novel.
Therefore, the attack he had suddenly launched from the side just now.
Had even knocked the Spider Wolf back.
Anticipation already gleamed in Bai Zhou's eyes.
"Looks like I don't have Chu Yun's luck. I won't get to experience what it feels like to be driven into a corner!"
"Awooo—!!"
The Spider Wolf stared at Bai Zhou, who had suddenly appeared and attacked it.
A scarlet gleam instantly surfaced in its enormous pupils.
Accompanied by a piercing wolf howl!
A red glow began spreading across the Spider Wolf's entire body, and its aura grew even stronger than before.
But Long Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, shouted loudly.
"What are you doing?! Get out of here!"
"My brother and sister-in-law are a Level 4 Spirit Master pair, and even they weren't a match for the Spider Wolf! How could you possibly do it?!"
"Run! Just let me go with my brother and sister-in-law, okay?! I have no one left in this world—ptui, ptui, ptui! Cough, cough, cough—"
Before Long Ying could finish speaking, she began coughing violently.
A clump of mud flew directly into Long Ying's mouth.
Bai Zhou shook the mud off his shoes with a disgusted look and said.
"Why the fuck are you talking so much? Aren't you annoying?"
Ding! A main character has suffered mental damage +666. Destined Villain Value +50. 1350 more required to activate Villain Roulette!
"You!"
Having finally cleared most of the mud from her mouth, Long Ying was about to curse Bai Zhou out when she discovered.
Bai Zhou had actually raised his spear and charged directly at the Spider Wolf?
Ding! A main character has suffered mental damage +555. Destined Villain Value +50. 1300 more required to activate Villain Roulette!
As Long Ying watched Bai Zhou's back, confusion gradually filled her eyes.
"Why... why..."
She kept repeating those three words like a broken record.
"Why would someone so young, with such a low level, and with only an E-Class Divine Weapon Maiden, dare charge straight at an alien creature like the Spider Wolf?"
"Isn't that just seeking death?"
"Was his brain kicked by a donkey?"
Ding! The host has suffered mental damage +6. No Villain Value awarded!
Bai Zhou: 6
He was speechless.
Why was this woman so damn irritating?
Should he just let this alien creature kill Long Ying first, then continue fighting it?
Sigh...
Forget it. He was already here!
Bai Zhou's gaze turned resolute.
Sensing Bai Zhou's charge, the Spider Wolf seemed to show faint mockery in its scarlet eyes.
It could tell as well.
The aura emanating from the young man before it was even weaker than that young pair it had just eaten.
And he still dared charge at it? He was simply courting death.
The next second.
With a "Whoosh!"
The Spider Wolf's eight sharp, long legs shot up, its front four legs instantly lifting toward the sky.
Bai Zhou's eyes flashed.
Memories from the original novel surfaced in his mind.
It had been written that the Spider Wolf Chu Yun encountered in the original novel had only two attack methods.
One was raising its front legs high and launching rapid downward thrusts like spears.
The other was for the wolf head on its torso to bite madly.
Of course, it also had a combination attack.
It would first skewer its target with its long legs, then bite wildly.
Its current posture clearly meant it was about to skewer him.
And Bai Zhou had been waiting for exactly this opportunity.
Because when the Spider Wolf raised its four front limbs, its body would inevitably be left wide open.
Bai Zhou could directly see the wolf head and its blood-filled maw packed with sharp fangs.
Likewise, the old grandpa in Chu Yun's mind had told him in the original novel that the Spider Wolf's weakness was inside its mouth!
Thus, the instant the Spider Wolf raised its four front limbs high, silver light flashed from the Dragon Gallant Silver Spear in Bai Zhou's hand.
"Dragon Gall!"
Immediately after.
"Furious Stab!"
"Hah!"
Even Bai Zhenbei, whose cultivation had been suppressed, could be controlled for an instant by Furious Stab's slowing effect.
Let alone this Spider Wolf.
Its four legs stiffened in midair on the spot.
Bai Zhou gripped the silver spear and shot forward like lightning.
Just as the Spider Wolf barely broke free from the slowing effect.
With a muffled "Pfft—"
Thick blood instantly gushed from its throat.
"Urgh—!"
"Awoo—!"
"Roar, roar, roar!!"
The intense pain sent the Spider Wolf's body rapidly backward.
And because the Spider Wolf retreated so swiftly.
Bai Zhou did not have time to react.
"Fuck!"
With a startled cry.
The Dragon Gallant Silver Spear transformed from Lin Wei flew from his hand!
Because the spearhead had already plunged deep into the Spider Wolf's throat, and he had not had time to pull it out!
"Lin Wei!"
In his urgency, Bai Zhou let out a roar.
He hurried forward, trying to grab the spear shaft.
But with two sharp whooshes, the Spider Wolf's two front legs swept out like lightning.
Bai Zhou quickly retreated.
Had he been a second slower, those spear-like front legs would have pierced straight through his body!
"Lin Wei!"
Bai Zhou frowned, his gaze flickering.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
"Awoo, awoo—~~~"
That spot truly was the Spider Wolf's weakness, just as the old grandpa had said.
The Spider Wolf was currently enduring tremendous pain.
Its enormous body leaped and thrashed wildly, making even the ground tremble as though an earthquake had struck.
Its eight long legs also flailed frantically in agony as it struggled.
Bai Zhou simply could not get close!
But Lin Wei was still lodged inside the Spider Wolf's mouth!
What was he supposed to do?
Bai Zhou even regretted it a little now.
Why had he not activated Dragon Scale Armor's skill just now and doubled his damage?
Bai Zhou had indeed been too overconfident. He had thought that since his level was higher than Chu Yun's and Lin Wei's potential had been fully awakened.
He would certainly be able to kill the Spider Wolf in one blow by striking its weakness.
But he had not expected reality to teach Bai Zhou such a profound lesson.
He absolutely could not underestimate any enemy. No matter what kind of enemy he encountered, he had to go all out with his first guaranteed hit!
Otherwise, this would happen: the enemy would not die, and Lin Wei would be stuck in its mouth.
This was so damn...
Bai Zhou still shared a mental connection with Lin Wei, and he immediately told her not to transform.
Of course. If she transformed into human form now, would she not fall straight into its mouth?
But he could not possibly leave Lin Wei stuck in its mouth forever!
"What should I do? What should I do..."
Standing there in a panic as he watched the Spider Wolf struggle and howl madly, Bai Zhou's peripheral vision suddenly caught Long Ying, who was kneeling nearby with a blank expression.
His eyelid twitched. He had no choice.
Bai Zhou walked straight over to Long Ying and said loudly.
"If you want to die, die later. Let me use you first!"
Long Ying: ?
"Use what?"
Bai Zhou said, "Let me use you!"
Long Ying: !
Instantly, Long Ying covered her chest with both hands. Her cheeks reddened as she shouted at Bai Zhou.
"Bastard! Pervert! You're still thinking about that kind of thing at a time like this!"
Ding! Long Ying has suffered mental damage +999. Destined Villain Value +50. 1250 more required to activate Villain Roulette!
Bai Zhou: ??
"Are you an idiot?"
Before you continue
