Chapter 220: [182] Swallowing Alien Beasts, Ambitions of a Wolf (Seeking monthly votes, recommendations, and subscriptions)_1
Jiang’s Family, Back Mountain.
Boom!
The middle-aged butler looked up in perplexed alarm.
“How many times now? This must be the third time, right?”
He was very curious about what kind of pet the master had raised, as its destructive power had sparked many fantasies in his mind.
What he didn’t know was that a bluebird was circling above the locust tree.
The giant python’s gaping maw failed to catch the agile bird; frustrated, it slammed the ground hard, throwing up clumps of broken grass.
However, when a familiar force appeared, the python’s clumsy body suddenly stopped; in an instant, it wound down from the locust tree, closely following the bluebird, all the way down the river behind the back mountain.
…
The enormous Limp Beast was wrapping its tentacles around the human it held in its embrace.
What baffled it, however, was that no matter how much force it exerted, it couldn’t crush this tiny human.
After running to thirty miles outside of Tian Dong Road.
In a certain moment, the Limp Beast made eye contact with the person in its arms; those excessively calm eyes would likely be unforgettable for its entire life.
Even before it could react,
A massive force suddenly erupted from within its embrace. The great pride it had in its speed was now as fragile as soft tofu; it almost didn’t have time to struggle before the exploding force from its embrace swept it away, escaping from the pursuers ten miles behind at an even faster speed.
If seven minutes ago it was the Limp Beast taking Pei Jinye away, now it was Pei Jinye who was carrying the huge creature, like a heavy-duty truck, crashing through anything in its path.
In front of them, a path was brutally forged through the woodland.
Billows of smoke and horrifying blasts of air vented out.
…
By the riverside.
A bluebird circled in the air.
Issuing a sharp, clear call.
Following roars in the woodland, suddenly, a dark shadow collided with countless clumps of earth, leaping from a hillside, bringing with it numerous shards of fragmented soil and rubble.
With the force of a thunderbolt, it plunged into the river, suddenly causing a large splash.
Under the river water.
The Limp Beast’s eighteen tentacles ferociously struck, while Pei Jinye kept an upside-down stance, showing no sign of panic.
Three Dimensional Barrier, activate!
Water Arrow, activate!
Inside the sealed Space Barrier, suddenly, dense swarms of water arrows formed and fiercely struck.
Blood swiftly dispersed in the water.
“Hiss hiss (eat),” a familiar voice came through.
Pei Jinye seemed to perceive something.
With a kick.
He sent the Limp Beast flying with one swift kick.
In the moment he burst out of the water’s surface, before he could land, he was quickly entangled by a huge figure rushing towards him.
Water splashed, creating waves several meters high.
Pei Jinye extended his hand, activated Flash Collapse, and the waters of this stretch of the river were wildly disturbed. The momentum propelled the battling figures of the giant python and the Limp Beast out of the water.
“After you’re done eating, remember to come home.”
…
About two minutes later, a suspended vehicle descended; followed by a large force coming into view on the riverside, tracking the collision path.
“Search downstream!”
“Rescue our personnel at all costs!”
Three minutes later.
Members of the Night Patrol Department found Pei Jinye’s whereabouts on the riverside, his armor shattered and covered with blood, a sight that was truly shocking.
“Found him!”
“He’s still breathing!”
…
Outside the operating room.
“Brother Bi, Jinye has great luck and a strong life; he won’t encounter any mishaps,” Zhou Ye consoled at his side.
“Ah…” Brother Bi sighed, at a loss for words.
He had led the team out, and he had to bring them back safely.
He’d been through enough hardship already, and he truly didn’t want to go through the loss of a teammate again.
“Captain.”
“Captain Qiu.”
A row of people emerged from the elevator doors, the one in the lead was Captain Qiu Hezi of Squad Two.
Zhou Ye immediately greeted him and stealthily nudged Brother Bi.
Brother Bi looked up: “Old Qiu.”
“I’ve already learned about the mission process from Xing Tian, don’t worry, Pei Jinye will be fine. You did very well this time. I’ve already informed the superiors, our leader has high praise for you,” Captain Qiu Hezi spoke earnestly, “Facing a D-level Alien Beast without fear and with a fearless spirit, you protected the lives of thirteen ordinary workers. Once Jinye recovers, the higher-ups will commend you.”
“Thank you, Captain!” Zhou Ye said, his face lighting up with joy.
There wasn’t much joy on Brother Bi’s face, and he shook his head: “A D-level Alien Beast at Tian Dong Road? And there’s not a single report from the Night Patrol Department about this?”
Zhou Ye’s face also sobered up when he heard this, and he looked on with a cautious, inquiring gaze.
But Qiu Hezi just clapped him on the shoulder and whispered lowly, “I’m clear on what you’re saying, I had people look into it on my way here.”
Brother Bi nodded: “A wise man does not stand under a wall that is about to collapse. The other party has already chosen to make a move, which means they don’t take our Investigation Team seriously. If we keep people like that around, we won’t have peaceful days ahead.”
Qiu Hezi was stunned.
Brother Bi continued, “It doesn’t matter who it is, if they provoke our people, we need to pull them out by the roots.”
Qiu Hezi’s face froze, it was the same expression as when he first heard Pei Jinye say these words.
It was as if Qiu Hezi was meeting this man for the first time.
He looked away, falling silent for a while.
Then he patted Brother Bi on the shoulder.
“Then I’ll leave this matter to you.”
“Me? I can’t do it.”
Who would have thought that Brother Bi’s first response would be a refusal?
Qiu Hezi opened his mouth but before he could say anything, the door of the emergency room opened at that moment.
When the doctor came out, Brother Bi left Qiu Hezi behind and immediately inquired, “Doctor, my brother is alright, isn’t he?”
“The patient’s vitals are stable now, and there aren’t many injuries on his body, it’s just that his brain seems to have been impacted, so he’s fallen into a coma. All he needs to do now is rest well.”
“When will he wake up?” Captain Qiu came over and asked.
“This… If his willpower is strong enough, he could wake up in one or two days, but if there’s any complication… it could take a week, a month, or even longer to recover,” the doctor explained politely, recognizing the background of these individuals.
“Are you saying my brother has become a vegetable?” Brother Bi’s face changed.
“That’s hard to say…”
Zhou Ye’s face also turned grim upon hearing this.
He even thought that if it hadn’t been for Pei Jinye stepping forward to push him away at the last moment, maybe he would have been the one caught by the Limp Beast.
“Captain, could I trouble you with something? Could you possibly find an expert from above to take a look at Jinye? It’s just… he became like this because he saved us.”
The doctor’s words cooled the bit of pride Zhou Ye felt about his commendation.
“Rest assured, I’ll do whatever I can!”
…
Outside the sickroom.
Brother Bi closed the door and alerted the Confidential Clerks responsible for the guard in advance, “These next few days will trouble the two brothers.”
“You flatter us, Brother Bi, duty calls.”
“Much obliged.”
Glancing back at Jinye, who was still unconscious on the sickbed through the window, Brother Bi sighed heavily in his heart. Zhou Ye stood by his side and then followed him as he walked away.
…
Under the hospital building.
Zhou Ye got into the car and Brother Bi handed him a cigarette. He paused before taking it, but never lit it up, finally unable to hold back a question, “Brother Bi, you have more experience than me. Do you think there’s something fishy about this incident?”
“Can’t say for sure,” Brother Bi exhaled a ring of smoke deeply, “You just take it easy for these next few days, don’t go running around.”
“I’m planning to stay at base for now. I’ll discuss further after everything is clear,” Zhou Ye sighed, “If it wasn’t for Jinye pulling me back at the last second, I guess I would be the one lying in there now.”
“This thing is all about luck, if it were you, for all we know, I could be attending your funeral right now,” Brother Bi blew out a puff of smoke.”
“…” Zhou Ye was speechless.
The hovercar started, and the two departed.
…
Two o’clock in the afternoon.
The Secretary Lin who was always by the Governor of Da Peng City’s side quietly appeared in Pei Jinye’s sickroom.
He left just as quietly not long after.
In the office.
“I asked the doctor, he has suffered a blow to the head.”
“Is it serious?” Zhou Weiren furrowed his brows.
“Hard to tell. But the Investigation Team has already applied for a specialist, so we may know very soon,” Secretary Lin replied respectfully, “I checked, and other than that, he doesn’t have any injuries. Governor, a D-level Alien Beast suddenly appeared this time…”
“The Investigation Team is already on it, keep a discreet watch… The waters of Da Peng City have always been murky, and if we want to deal with the hidden hands in the shadows, we must gather more intelligence.”
“Understood,” Secretary Lin said softly, “Do you think Mr. Han will…?”
“I will personally explain things to him. As for the expert, you lend a hand as well. After all, he is one of Da Peng City’s rare talents,”
“Yes, Governor.”
…
Pei Jinye lay on the sickbed.
Only when the attention from the outside world completely dissipated did he finally unlock his sealed spiritual power.
Feigning injury was something he did opportunistically.
If nothing went wrong, in another two days, the assignment from Mr. Han should arrive.
But now he is injured, and naturally, the task cannot be pushed onto him.
Who knows what the higher-ups are thinking.
Pei Jinye acted opportunistically, taking each day as it comes.
That afternoon.
Secretary Lin came, Brother Bi and Zhou Ye came, Brother Kui came, and even Ice Sister came.
Pei Jinye almost couldn’t keep up the act.
Because when Ice Sister held his hand, a cold sensation nearly made him cry out. Ice Sister wanted to use her Transcendent abilities to awaken him.
But…
Luckily, Ice Sister didn’t stay long and left.
Pei Jinye intended to stay for a couple of days, but unexpectedly, that very night, while he was using his Heavenly Calculation ability to monitor Jiang’s Family Back Mountain, he accidentally spotted two familiar figures.
Silver Art!
Hong Luo!
“Damn!”
Pei Jinye cursed silently.
Clearly, the Old Gods Association was still focusing on this place.
Pei Jinye now had a hard time using the Jiang family to develop his own strength; he didn’t want it to end up all scooped up by the people from the Old Gods Association.
He threw off the covers.
Dressed in a patient’s gown, Pei Jinye walked toward the door.
After hypnotizing the two guards at the door, he quietly left the hospital.
…
“Can you smile a bit?”
“Smile a bit?”
“Hehehe.”
Hong Luo with her twin ponytails came close to Silver Art, continuously making funny faces in front of her.
In the night breeze.
Silver strands of hair floated with the wind, and those calm, silent eyes were completely indifferent to the teasing and joking of Hong Luo by her side.
But the next moment, before she and Hong Luo stepped into the back mountain,
A figure suddenly appeared beside them.
The familiar Ghost Face Mask made the always expressionless Silver Art finally show a hint of change.
However, Hong Luo had already launched an attack.
But before the rushing earth spikes could harm the newcomer, the shadow disappeared from the spot.
“Silver Art, it’s me; I’m back,”
A familiar, modulated voice sounded in Silver Art’s ear.
Silver Art’s eyes widened.
“Demon King?”
“It’s me, let’s talk outside,”
Pei Jinye lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot, flashing over the surrounding wall behind the mountain.
Silver Art immediately followed.
Last to act, Hong Luo, who had just been frightened stiff by Pei Jinye’s unperceivable approach, slowly lifted her head.
Her brain seemed to be booting up.
“The Demon King? The one who was supposed to be dead?”
At the same time.
On the branches of a nearby locust tree, Bluebird perched atop the head of a Giant Python, cocking its little head with perplexity, utterly baffled by the unfathomable world of human beings it observed.
The Giant Python continued to close its eyes, unconcerned with the happenings of the outside world.
Only occasionally would it let out a sleeptalk.
“Hiss hiss (Food).”
