Chapter 29: Wolf without Shadow
A Yao was walking on the street. The orcs now regarded the rain as a gift from God. People in the Beast City respected A Yao very much. The talent of communicating with the Beast God was something only the high priest was worthy of. In addition to the gods and goddesses of the temple, not only did their Beast City have a female orc with powerful mental power, but she could even become a great priest in the future. This was something they dared not even think about.
"God of Beasts, Lord Ayao, please bless me."
"God of Beasts above, Master Ayao, I greet you."
"God of Beasts, Master Yao is wearing very beautiful clothes today. God of Beasts will protect you."
Now, whenever Ayao walks around in the Beast City, she receives non-stop greetings from people around her, which makes her a little annoyed.
The outskirts of Beast City are a polluted area. A Yao had heard about it a long time ago, but had never been there. Today he has some free time, so he plans to go and take a look.
A Yao didn't know how terrifying the orcs expelled from the Beast City and the Tribe were. They were the same kind that all orcs hated, and they were expelled entirely in accordance with the will of the Beast God.
The orcs in the polluted areas are all half-beasts, and some cannot even be called orcs. They have no rationality at all, and most of them are brutal by nature and love fighting. They survive every day, but their life is worse than death.
Now A Yao's mental and physical strength have recovered well, so without the obstruction of the high priest and the deer king, she can move freely in the Beast City.
Outside the Beast City there were no birdsong and flowers, but piles of bones in disarray. A group of polluted orcs saw A Yao. Some of them were still able to maintain their sanity and retreated, while others had turned into wild beasts, opening their bloody mouths and growling.
The smell here is thick and fishy, with a pungent smell of decay.
A Yao felt a chill running through his body and shivered. The girl turned away, following the cold breath.
She didn't hear any sound behind her, but when she looked up, she saw a snow wolf standing behind the girl with all four paws on the ground. It had no hair on its body and was completely white, but its hair was frozen and there were tiny white snowflakes on its eyebrows.
The wolf's eyes were a pair of silver animal pupils, which made people's hair stand on end. Those eyes were as big as A Yao's fist!
The cold air blew on A Yao's face. Although it was still summer, A Yao felt as if everything around him was frozen.
The girl's eyes met with the white wolf's for a long time, but the huge snow wolf showed no hostility at all, so it just stared at her without moving.
A Yao took two tentative steps, and the snow wolf followed closely behind.
A Yao changed direction and took a few more steps, and the snow wolf still followed behind him.
She is having a headache now. Could it be that she needs to pick up another thing to raise?
[System: I am so anxious, Sister Yao, this is a completely polluted orc, it is irrational, please leave here quickly, it is too dangerous.]
Of course, A Yao believed what Sha Tongzi said, and hurried to the entrance of the Beast City. However, the snow wolf suddenly jumped up and knocked A Yao to the ground. The girl was horrified and hurriedly prepared to use the universal branch to save her life, but found that the snow wolf seemed to have no ill intentions.
There were water droplets hanging on the white eyelashes, which fell on A Yao's face and turned into ice chips.
An unclear voice growled, "Save me——"
A Yao just wanted to get up, but he was crushed even harder by the snow wolf's big claws.
She resigned herself to her fate and lay on the ground, her face hurting a little as if it had been hit by hail.
Although Ayao has mental power, he really doesn't know how to appease the polluted orcs.
[System: Sister Yao, you just beat up the dog when it went berserk last time. This wolf is not as big as the little deer king, so just beat it half to death.]
"No, my life is not in danger now, and I will never use items that consume my mental energy."
When the snow wolf saw that A Yao stopped running, it grabbed A Yao by the collar and ran to its den. It used its big head to push over the corpse of a fox and waited for A Yao to eat it with blinking eyes.
The girl's face was covered with scratches from branches and leaves, making her look a little disheveled.
Ah Yao pushed the fox corpse back again, shook his head and said, "I won't eat it. I'm not hungry yet."
The snow wolf didn't know how to show its goodwill, so it just kept swinging its big tail like a propeller, shaking the ground and kicking up a lot of dust.
A Yao tilted his head and looked at the beautiful tail. It was easy to understand the joys and sorrows of canines. A Yao: "Why don't you talk?"
The snow wolf didn't understand, so it had to move closer, open its mouth, and wash A Yao's face with its slippery big tongue.
It's wet, sticky, and smells of blood.
A Yao's face was covered with Snow Wolf's saliva, and he felt as uncomfortable as a frost-bitten eggplant.
She didn't know what to do, so she tentatively put her hand in front of the snow wolf, then touched the snow wolf's big head. The snow wolf was not angry, but licked A Yao's face again and wagged its tail even more diligently.
A Yao didn’t dare to touch the snow wolf again, so he had to pull out a handkerchief from the system space to wipe his face.
The snow wolf whimpered softly, then bent down and lay beside A Yao, with its triangular ears tucked behind its head and its tail stopped wagging. For some reason, A Yao no longer touched it.
Ah Yao thought, isn't this just a larger version of a Samoyed? Except for the tail not being lifted up, there is really no difference.
A Yao wanted to tease the big snow wolf in a naughty way, so he took out a lighter and lit it on fire.
The frightened snow wolf stood up straight with its hair standing on end. It used its claws to knock the lighter away, then held A Yao in its mouth to protect him under its body. Its snow-white hair rubbed against A Yao's skin, which was quite slippery.
The snow wolf bared its teeth and made aggressive movements, circling around the lighter. After a long time, it found that the lighter was no longer emitting fire, so it picked up A Yao again and threw him on its soft belly to protect him.
The snow wolf rested its head on its paws, half turned its body, and looked at A Yao who was leaning on its abdomen with its silver eyes.
A Yao was really cold. The snow wolf's fur was so chilly that it was about to freeze her into an ice sculpture.
Ayao tried to get up and change her clothes, but the Snow Wolf's breath pushed her back into his abdomen.
The girl now truly understood what it meant to be able to communicate. No matter what she wanted to do or say, the Snow Wolf had no idea.
It was getting dark outside. If he couldn't find himself, he didn't know if the Beast City would be turned upside down by the High Priest and the Deer King.
"Hello——"
Ayao shrank back and sneezed.
The snow wolf didn't know what was wrong with her, so he stuffed the uneaten fox back to the girl.
A Yao wanted to cry but had no tears.
She stretched out her hands and pushed the snow wolf for a long time, but she refused to hold the fox's body or eat it.
The snow wolf couldn't resist her, so it tilted its head back and threw the fox into its mouth, eating it skin and bones together. The sound of the flesh and bones breaking was particularly terrifying.
A Yao plucked a handful of fur from the snow wolf and covered himself with it, finally making the snow wolf understand that she was very cold.
The snow wolf's claws rummaged around in its den for a long time before it found a piece of dull-colored animal skin and gave it to A Yao.
The girl saw that the huge snow wolf had no shadow under the moonlight!
[System: Ghost! Ghost! Why is there no shadow? ]
"Don't call me stupid Tongzi, I'm scared too—"
Just like humans are always afraid of the unknown, there is no such thing as nothing without a shadow. Isn’t this a typical horror story?
Thanks, babies, new characters are coming.
