The scent of food wafting from the house made his red eyes flicker. He transford into a python and slithered inside.
He saw An Jin and Ling Hong eating, the atmosphere between them unusually harmonious.
Ling Hong would occasionally place food on her plate, and the two seed to be chatting about sothing.
Gu Yin had no interest in listening. All he saw was the female occasionally flashing a smile at that Wolf Beast.
The anger and jealousy that had subsided in his heart instantly flared up again.
Ling Hong noticed his arrival. He glanced worriedly at An Jin, who paused, her hand still holding her chopsticks, but showed no sign of inviting Gu Yin to join them.
The python raised the upper half of its body, waiting expectantly in the doorway and staring at An Jin for a long ti. But he was completely ignored by the female, receiving no response whatsoever.
"HISS..." Its red eyes shimred with unshed tears. Filled with resentnt, anger, and sorrow, it finally slithered forlornly out the main door.
He didn’t co back for several days.
’Fine.’ Gu Yin still didn’t think he’d done anything wrong. ’If it happened again, I’d do the exact sa thing.’
Instead, he concluded that An Jin must prefer the Wolf Beast and was now starting to ignore and forget him...
Gu Yin left the tribe and returned to the familiar jungle. With no den of his own nearby, he killed a tiger and claid its cave, digging a few new tunnels for himself.
’I’m back to my old, primitive, bloodthirsty way of life,’ Gu Yin thought sorrowfully.
In the dark, damp cave, the python silently coiled itself into a large ball in a corner.
It rested its head on its coiled tail, its blade-like pupils staring blankly at the pitch-black stone wall. It remained that way for who knows how long, its crimson tongue flicking out into the air, forgotten.
It remained quietly in the corner, motionless as a stone, but it couldn’t fall asleep no matter what.
RUMBLE... BOOM!
The thundering sound of a massive stampede of beasts ca from outside the cave.
It was likely a beast tide of imnse scale. The ground shook violently, and several rocks fell from the cave ceiling, nearly crushing him.
Gu Yin was already agitated, and now a powerful killing intent surged through him. He shot out of the cave like a phantom and began a frenzied, savage slaughter to vent his frustrations.
To his surprise, these were not ordinary beasts, but a large pack of vicious, starving Demon Beasts.
They were extrely rare at this ti of year.
But faced with Gu Yin’s near-frenzied massacre, even the ferocious and powerful pack of Demon Beasts could not withstand his assault.
Widespread howls and shrieks echoed through the jungle, so loud they seed to scatter the clouds in the sky.
The ground soon ran with rivers of blood. Chunks of mangled limbs and carcasses fell into the crimson streams. A black miasma filled the air, thick with the stench of rot and iron.
Having woken from hibernation not long ago, Gu Yin’s body was still weak and hungry. He imdiately transford into a giant python over ten ters long and began swallowing the Demon Beasts’ heads one by one, his belly bulging like a series of small hills.
The satisfaction of having a full stomach made the python narrow its vertical pupils and flick its crimson tongue contentedly.
Among the heads of the nearly one hundred Demon Beasts, he found over a dozen Crystal Cores, including, to his surprise, one Advanced Purple Crystal.
His strength had stagnated for a long ti due to his overly comfortable life in the tribe. But through this slaughter and feast, Gu Yin finally felt the Energy in his body once again nearing saturation.
Although he was still just a little short, this feeling of being on the verge of a breakthrough made him extrely sleepy.
"Hiss~" Covered in filth and blood, the python slowly slithered back into the cave, coiled up in the corner, and began to fall into another deep sleep.
The leaves in the jungle stirred without a breath of wind.
The corpses on the ground instantly dissolved into wisps of black smoke.
「...」
When Gu Yin hadn’t returned for several days, with no clue as to where he’d gone, An Jin could no longer suppress her worry and sent a few Beastn to search for him.
With him so far away, she couldn’t sense his location or aura at all. ’Did that snake really run away from ho?’
She hadn’t actually intended to give Gu Yin the silent treatnt.
She had ignored him on purpose, just to teach him a lesson. Otherwise, he would only beco more brazen in the future.
An Jin rested her head on the table, wondering where Gu Yin might have gone in his anger. Suddenly, she felt a jolt, her eyes widening in astonishnt.
"What is this...?"
A strange power overflowed in her mind, sohow extending into the surrounding area and following her train of thought?!
It was forming a three-dinsional model of the space it passed through in her mind.
She was clearly inside her house, surrounded by solid walls, with the windows shut tight.
But she could see what was happening dozens of ters outside her wooden house—
Gou Ni was playing happily with her young cubs.
A few strong male Beastn were carrying logs together, their sweat glistening in the sunlight.
Even the details of a small blade of grass swaying in the wind were crystal clear.
