My Pet Beast is Super Fearsome-Chapter 754 - 121 Greed

In the endless night of the icy wilderness, the brilliant northern lights presented a magnificent vista, enveloping the boundless night sky like a light veil, constantly changing colors and shapes.

A cold wind blew through the camp, and various distant animal cries could be heard in the night, while two watchful warriors with bows and arrows surveyed their surroundings with vigilant eyes.

Hu——

A piercing cold wind blew from behind the two men; they gripped their bows and arrows, about to turn around, when suddenly a faint whispering sound reached their ears. The eyes of the two warriors quickly became vacant as they mechanically turned and sat down on the rocks beside them.

The cold wind howled, and a stream-like gray fog clung to the ground, slowly flowing through the camp until the entire camp was shrouded in the mist.

Dong dong dong.

Within the depths of the gray fog, the rhythmic sound of a wooden stick tapping the ground rose, while a green glow gradually permeated the rolling fog, spreading quickly with each tap.

Dong!

The tapping stopped, and a tall, lean figure in tattered formalwear, wearing a top hat, halted its steps. It leaned on a cane with one hand, and held a jack-o’-lantern in the other.

The jack-o’-lantern gently rotated to reveal its other sinister smiling face, its eerie green fire flickering over the rolling fog, yet the tall man’s visage remained obscured as if shrouded by the mist.

All of a sudden, the tall, thin man turned his head, using the cane to lift the brim of his top hat, exposing a pale face.

’Miser’ Jack eyed the two warriors not far away, the green flames dancing in the eyes beneath his hat brim, revealing a greedy hue.

As if sensing the desire within ’Miser’ Jack’s heart, the jack-o’-lantern he held seemed to come alive, its hollowed-out face aimed in the direction of the warriors, casting increasingly ghastly shadows in the grey mist.

Pale, withered hands tightly gripped the cane as ’Miser’ Jack’s greed swiftly magnified.

"Just a little, just a little bit..."

"No, he knows and will kill me!"

"Having endured so long, you must be longing for it, just a bit won’t be noticed."

’Miser’ Jack murmured to himself, as if trying to convince himself.

The shadow behind him on the mist moved on its own, the pitch-black shadow’s head suddenly sprang open two blood-red eyes, and its mouth split open filled with sharp teeth, reaching out a claw towards ’Miser’ Jack.

At that moment, the blood-colored patterns on ’Miser’ Jack’s face suddenly came alive, like countless threads piercing into the body of the shadow.

"Ah!!!!"

The instant the blood-colored threads pierced the shadow, ’Miser’ Jack suddenly bent over and knelt on the ground, letting out a cry of agony, as the vein-like patterns on his pale face snaked into his mouth and nose like serpents.

Jack clasped his throat with both hands, his eyes pleading toward the direction of the cave.

"Master... Master, I was wrong... spare me this... once."

"Master... I won’t dare again... hehe..." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

His screams woke the warriors of the Fog Whale Clan, and before they could arrive, arrows flew from the tents, crisscrossing and piercing through Jack’s body.

Bang bang bang!

The elemental forces condensed on the arrows erupted, the ice fog shimmering with brilliant light under the northern lights, but Jack’s figure had already disappeared from the spot, and the gray fog enveloping the entire camp rolled back toward the cave.

Disorderly footsteps rose in the camp; Kadu, her hair a mess, carrying a bow and arrow, swept her gaze over the camp, only to see the holes left by the exploding arrows on the ground.

Her gaze passed over everyone: "Who was on watch tonight?"

Cam whispered in response: "Clan sister, it was Itli and Yiwei."

Kadu’s stern gaze moved over them: "What did you just see, and why didn’t you give warning sooner?"

Itli and Yiwei exchanged glances, somewhat bewildered: "Leader, we were patrolling the entire time and didn’t notice anything unusual."

Kadu was about to speak when her complexion suddenly changed: "Not good, protect the Totem Master!"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces changed drastically, and they ran toward the cave where Shao Zifeng was with their weapons in hand.

"Stop!"

When they were less than ten meters from the cave entrance, Kadu suddenly extended her hand to stop everyone.

In front of the cave, Yaya, massive as a small hill, opened its eyes and looked at the humans in front of it with some dissatisfaction.

These bad guys, not appreciating its paws, even came to disturb its sleep!

Kadu looked at Yaya, and the anxious expression on her face relaxed considerably. She adjusted her disheveled long hair and, with one hand over her chest, respectfully called out, "Totem Master."

After a moment, a familiar voice came from inside, "I’m fine."

Although they could not understand each other’s language, the brief conversation greatly relieved Kadu.

"Some of you stay here to protect the Totem Master," she ordered, "the rest go back and continue to rest."

"Yes!"

Inside the cave.

Hearing the footsteps of the departing people, Shao Zifeng’s face darkened as he looked at Jack, the ’Stingy Ghost,’ whom he was holding by the neck, "Are you playing me?"

Shao Zifeng had not an ounce of fondness for Jack, the ’Stingy Ghost.’ If one included all the Mutant Creatures associated with him, even the sneaky big cat ranked much higher than it.

The only reason Jack was still around was because Shao Zifeng coveted his abilities.

But if it didn’t obey...

Feeling Shao Zifeng’s murderous intent, Jack grew more terrified. Its pale face contorted with blood-red patterns, and its dimly glowing green eyes filled with pleading.

It opened its mouth, "Master... spare me... this time, I will no more..."

Within the depths of Shao Zifeng’s pupils flickered a purplish-red luster. Purplish-red lines, like lightning, emerged on his right hand, sketching an abstract eye, "What did I say just now?"

Crack!

Purplish-red arcs of electricity crackled before Jack’s eyes. It sensed that inside Shao Zifeng’s body, a fearsome beast was awakening.

"Master... Master, I was out of my mind for a moment, my method is still workable... Mas... Ah!!!"

As Jack mentioned ’method,’ a surge of anger welled up inside Shao Zifeng. Densely packed purplish-red lines erupted on his right hand, weaving incessantly through Jack’s body.

"Ah!!! Master... spare me, I won’t dare anymore!"

"..."

"Heh... Master..."

As time passed, Jack’s voice grew weaker and even its bodily outline began to blur.

The green flames in its eyes gradually faded, yet its mouth still incessantly begged for mercy.

Thump!

Shao Zifeng released his grip, the purplish-red glow disappearing from his eyes.

Looking at Jack lying on the ground like a dead dog, Shao Zifeng squatted down in front of it, placing his hand adorned with the archaic silver ring on its head.

Jack jerked violently, struggling to rise from the ground. It lay before Shao Zifeng, its face full of fawning as it looked up at him, "Master, you... aren’t killing me. I promise I will never go against your will again... I swear it."

Shao Zifeng did not speak. Blood-red lines from the archaic silver ring tore at Jack’s body like tentacles, each one pulling a wisp of black mist, and the body rapidly faded into insubstantiality.

Shao Zifeng watched as Jack, gradually losing its human shape, said, "This is the last time, if there’s a next time..."

The blood-red threads sealed all the black mist within the ring as dark red patterns akin to human blood vessels coursed over the surface of the ring.

Surely after this, Jack would be more docile.

Having done all this, Shao Zifeng irritably ruffled his hair.

It seems that for communicating with Kadu, he would have to wait until he returned to the gathering area.
