Looking at the lively husky Fugui and Xie Tianlang staring at him with a cold, mocking wolf face, Si Wuyai felt like he had suffered a mental blow.
He even wanted to angrily curse God for being unfair.
Why can these two people in front of me turn into a husky and a wolf?! Why can't he be allowed to experience this incredible feat of genetic mutation firsthand?!
Si Wuyai was originally a calm and intelligent strategist, but now, looking at the husky wagging its tail and waiting for him to brush and massage its fur, he really wanted to take off his shoe and slap the guy's face with the sole.
However, he could not.
Not only can it not beat the werewolf eyeing it from the side, it might not even be able to outrun the husky.
Haha. This world might as well be destroyed.
"...Never mind, I'll just draw some of your blood later to do some research."
After all this time, he's come to accept his mixed luck with a touch of bad luck.
Then Si Wuyai squinted at the husky Fugui, raised his handcrafted pure wood pet comb and asked, "Are you sure you want me to brush and massage your fur?"
"Then let's use five tubes of blood and three full-body cooperative experiments as payment."
The husky, Fugui, immediately displayed a look of shock and utter incomprehension on its face:
"What are you talking about? Isn't it free? When you groom and massage these animals, do they pay you? We're all animals, right? Don't give us special treatment, haha, they don't recognize that, understand?"
"Haha, I will never accept unfair treatment!! Otherwise!!"
Si Wuyai's lips twitched from being provoked by this king of sarcasm. He gave a forced smile and said, "What else? You want to bite me?"
The husky, Fugui, held its head high and declared, "I'm about to cause trouble!!"
Si Wuyai: "...Huh?"
It's just a husky, and a husky that hasn't grown particularly big yet. Are you that scary when you act up?
"Tch. This isn't my home anymore."
What am I afraid of?
A husky's threat is only effective in the special area of home.
Of course, the most likely outcome is that both the owner and the husky will suffer losses, but what can a husky do in this forest now? Gnaw on tree roots?
Si Wuyai, holding the giant wooden comb in his hand, stared at the husky Fugui and said, "Go ahead and cause trouble. Let's see what kind of mess you can make."
The husky, Fugui, immediately pricked up its ears and straightened its head, its naturally blue eyes revealing a defiant glint.
"Awooooo! Since you're so ungrateful, then..."
Let Haha build all those little shacks you've erected behind you!
Just as Husky Fugui had set his sights on the straw shed that Si Wuyai had painstakingly built over the past month, instantly making Si Wuyai freeze and want to say something to salvage the situation, the animals that had been lining up in the forest waiting for Si Changgong to groom them, massage them, and treat their injuries suddenly became restless. They all turned to one direction and adopted a wary and angry fighting stance, then began to run wildly in that direction.
"Chirp chirp chirp!!"
"Squeak squeak squeak!!!"
"Yo~ Yo~"
"Meow—"
"roar--"
Almost simultaneously, the dense forest echoed with the warning cries and roars of numerous animals. The enhancement from his bloodline told Gou Fugui that this was a call to battle. Xie Tianlang, standing beside him, clearly sensed this battle call as well.
Even the giant rabbit that had been playing whack-a-mole and searching for carrots in the nearby forest suddenly narrowed its eyes and straightened its enormous body.
"The bee swarm has invaded again! You all need to get to a safe place with me. We can't get involved in battles between evolved animals!" Si Wuyai had been here the longest, so he was naturally familiar with the animal warning cries and what often happened in the dense forest.
His expression was very serious, even somewhat somber: "This is the tenth proactive attack by the bee swarm in the past month."
"I initially thought it was simply a case of bee colonies expanding rapidly due to an increase in population, but based on my observations and statistics, I believe the bee colonies are intentionally attacking surviving animals in the dense forest."
"Especially those animals with higher intelligence and better evolution."
"I suspect this is a struggle for energy or living space, an inevitable and irreconcilable conflict."
While quickly camouflaging and covering his hut with large leaves and weeds around it, Si Wuyai also checked the simple insect traps he had made from natural fruits and herbs from the forest.
"I don't know what they're fighting over, but..." Si Wuyai had already retreated into his little den and was waving to Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang: "I hope it's not about fighting for the core of the world."
"What are you all standing there for? We've already said we can't get involved in the battle between the giant animals. Even if we wanted to help, there's nothing we could do. At most, we can use the supplies you brought with us to treat their wounds after the battle is over. Come in and hide for a bit."
However, Si Wuyai noticed that the husky and wolf standing outside his hut did not move and looked at him with a very subtle sigh. Even the weakling Song Sanchuan sighed and took out his weapon from the backpack on his back.
Si Wuyai was silent for a moment, then pushed up his glasses: "..."
What did I just say?
“Oh, ‘I don’t know what they’re fighting over, but hopefully it’s not the core of the world’?”
"So, the reason why the swarm of bees comes here from time to time to cause trouble and specifically targets those huge and ferocious beasts for suicide attacks is to compete for the core of the world?"
Si Wuyai saw the husky nod at him with a mixture of mockery and pity.
Si Wuyai forced a stiff smile: "...That swarm of bees has come here to fight ten times this month, killing eight of the most powerful animals in this dense forest..."
"Don't tell me that the core fragment of the world shattered into countless pieces like some fairy's soul jade."
Then, Si Wuyai saw the husky nod, looking both speechless and pitiful.
"What the hell are you nodding for? This isn't some shonen manga!!"
Fugui the husky was also very upset: "Awooo! How the hell can you blame me?! Did Daddy want this?! Did Daddy not want to just find the only world core and leave?! Do you think Daddy wanted to collect the fragments?!"
I have no idea when I'll be able to collect them all, or even before the world ends. This world is far more dangerous and urgent than that melodramatic comic!
There's simply no time to rest or date!
Si Wuyai's expression was very bad. He took several deep breaths to accept this unchangeable fact. Just as he was about to say something more, a shrill cat meow suddenly came from the middle of Yilin.
That meow was completely different from the meows of ordinary cute kittens; you could tell at a glance that it was the meow of a grumpy and voracious cat.
But this shout instantly changed Si Wuyai's expression.
He rushed out of his shack immediately, abandoning his original plan to hide there. He pulled out the sniper rifle he hadn't used much to conserve ammunition from his backpack, turned to Xie Tianlang and Song Sanchuan, and looked at them with a pleading expression in his eyes.
"Since those giant swarms want the core fragments, we certainly can't let them succeed."
After saying that, he shook his head and revealed the real reason for his actions: "The one that was calling me just now is the orange cat that has been protecting me since I got here."
"I would have died at least three times here without it. So please help me save it, don't let my savior cat die."
"I'll give you everything I have as a reward if it can save it."
Xie Tianlang narrowed his eyes slightly, his deep eyes seemingly pondering a more useful reward.
Fugui, the husky, didn't have as many thoughts. He immediately barked twice excitedly and jumped up and down a couple of times: "Okay, no problem! Remember what you said today, son! As long as I save that cat, you'll be Fugui's personal servant from now on!"
The husky Fugui's head was slammed hard onto the ground with Xie Langlang's paw.
"What are you doing, you pervert?!"
Xie Tianlang: "Don't just adopt any son. This kind of son is obviously a troublemaker and a liar."
Fugui the husky tilted his head and thought for a moment: "You're right! From now on, you'll be my personal barber, masseur, and handyman. Remember to listen to me, or your savior cat will suddenly die!"
Si Wuyai: "...?!"
Damn it, if it weren't for the dire situation and me needing your help, believe me, I would have fought you to the death!
But the thoughtful researcher swallowed his pride and agreed to this unequal treaty.
As a last act of defiance, he added, "It has to be that you actually save it!"
After all, in the previous bee swarm attacks, the animals targeted by the swarms... five died on the spot, and three were seriously injured but died in less than a day.
Only the two forest tiger kings and the giant bear survived.
While orange cats are among the larger of evolved animals, how can a cat be compared to a tiger or a bear?
No matter how amazing it is, it's still just a domestic cat that was once kept by humans.
When Xie Tianlang and Si Wuyai rode on the back of the giant rabbit and sped to the battlefield of the bees and animals—the edge of the forest lake—the fierce battle had already been raging for some time.
The earth-shaking sounds caused by the enormous animal attacking the swarm of bees, along with the dense buzzing of the bees' wings, filled the area, making everyone who entered feel a sense of madness and extreme danger.
This wasn't the first time Si Wuyai had witnessed a battle between animals and bees, but each time he saw it, a tremendous, uncontrollable chill rose in his heart.
These animals have long since deviated from what they should look like; compared to animals in human perception, they are even more like "mythical beasts" or "monsters."
Gou Fugui, Xie Tianlang, and the other two were witnessing a battle between animals and a swarm of bees for the first time, and they were almost driven to the brink of madness by the insane and cruel scene.
Like giant locusts, each bee in the swarm was visibly larger than a palm, about the size of a human forearm.
But compared to the giant locust's fangs and sickle-like limbs, the dense swarms of bees and wasps here possess a far more terrifying weapon: their stingers, like sharp metal cones, at the back of their tails—a weapon capable of killing both humans and animals.
If just over a hundred bees or wasps work together to sting an evolved animal, the stung animal will visibly develop huge swollen blisters or venomous blisters. Animals with strong venom resistance, thick fur, and agile bodies are fine, but animals with weaker defenses are almost certain to lose their lives the moment they are stung.
Meanwhile, the animals that were fighting stood by the lake and, unable to nimbly avoid the swarm of bees, plunged directly into the water.
But this isn't a particularly good method of dodging and fighting.
Bee swarms inherently possess the advantage of high-altitude agility, and they seem to have been enhanced with intelligence. The approximately several thousand swarms were divided into fifteen smaller swarms based on the strength of their opponents, with each swarm having a particularly large queen bee who led the swarm in battle.
Watching the swarm of bees attack fiercely yet systematically from top to bottom, it was clear that these creatures were far more formidable than the locusts that relied solely on sheer numbers to devour everything.
Isn't there a saying that bees and ants are natural warriors?
Moreover, they are terrifying warriors who would do anything for their people.
At this moment, the big orange cat that had saved Si Wuyai three times and that Si Wuyai had tried to protect at great cost was being attacked by the largest swarm of bees.
It was clearly the target that the swarm wanted to kill and seize the core fragment, and its once glossy fur and plump body were now covered with more than a dozen swollen blisters from the stings.
It looked exceptionally miserable.
But it continued to roar angrily, using its exceptionally nimble cat claws to precisely kill the bee that had been circling around it and occasionally launching sneak attacks.
Upon seeing this, Si Wuyai immediately found cover, took out his sniper rifle, and helped his savior, Enju, kill the bees and wasps.
However, his strength alone was still too little, and there were too many bees attacking the orange cat. In the blink of an eye, a wasp secretly flew to the orange cat's paw and stung the hind paw wearing white boots.
"Meow!!"
The cat's piercing, painful meows rang out again, and this time the orange cat's normally agile movements noticeably slowed down.
An uncontrollable rage suddenly flashed in Si Wuyai's eyes.
He slammed his sniper rifle down and turned to Husky Fugui: "Give me the materials I told you about!! Damn it!"
He's going to use corrosive bombs to kill those damned poisonous bees!
"And didn't you say you'd help me rescue the cat?! It's having trouble moving now, so you need to find a way to save it!!"
It's just a husky!! How can it possibly control a swarm of bees?!
Si Wuyai's eyes were fierce, and his glasses gleamed with a cold light.
However, his gaze did not make the husky next to him feel ashamed or afraid. The husky just glanced at him with its ancestral eyes, first flicking its paw to throw out the box of materials for the corrosive potion that Si Wuya wanted to prepare, and then the husky suddenly shook its head and wagged its tail, as if it were taking a deep breath. Three seconds later, it rushed out like a gust of wind!
"Awooooooo!!"
"Look at me! Look at me! You bunch of shameless bees who ganged up on the few and then launched a sneak attack! You can't take this!"
"Hey! What are you looking at? No matter how much you look, I'm still way more handsome and stronger than you! If you're so tough, don't bully that cat, come find me!"
The bees, influenced by the mockery, instinctively turned to look at the husky: buzzing.
"If you're men, let's fight for real! Tell me, do you dare?!" The husky's idiotic taunts went wild.
The swarm of bees began to stir, and the buzzing grew louder.
However, their ingrained need for fragments from the queen bee prevents them from attacking, leaving them in a difficult position.
Then suddenly a metal necklace appeared around the husky's neck, and below the necklace was a small metal box containing a red core fragment.
Yes, does this description look familiar?
This is the core fragment that sent the locust clan to their doom.
Today, it will once again escort the bee colony on its journey.
The moment that core fragment appeared on the husky's neck, all the bees that were still hesitating between mocking the dog and setting their mission objective instantly sprang into action!
At this point, the despicable husky that was mocking them has become one with the mission objective, so don't hesitate, just kill this husky!!
Immediately, the swarm of wild bees that had been attacking the orange cat rushed towards the husky.
That speed was quite fast.
However, the husky is faster than them—you can't catch me! / Crazy letting go, no talent skills, just unleashing the ultimate move, and in this series of serious battle zones, there is one more crazy husky.
And, most importantly, this husky was howling as it ran.
"A group of you can't catch me! Don't underestimate Haha's running power, okay!"
"Yes, yes, we should have a few more groups to surround and intercept them, haha!"
"Why bother with those other unattractive animals! Are they as good-looking, as strong, or as fast as Haha?!"
"They don't have them! Most importantly, they don't have the fragments from Haha's neck!"
"Come on, come on, chase me~ If you catch me, I'll let you laugh and fuck you!"
The husky's flamboyant movements and powerfully mocking antics quickly drew all fifteen swarms of bees that were attacking the animals together by the lake, creating a chilling scene known as "Husky Running Wild by the Lake."
At this moment, the huge swarm of bees that had been relentlessly chasing the husky had all merged together to form a massive monster resembling a dark cloud. If the husky, which was running wildly ahead, were to lag even a little behind, it would be instantly swallowed up by this terrifying swarm!
But just then, the same poisonous bee that had attacked the orange cat suddenly appeared in front of the husky, its gleaming poisonous needle piercing the husky's cheek, almost causing the husky to roll on the ground in pain.
However, this also directly provoked the husky to unleash a torrent of angry and abusive language.
"Aaaaaah, you bastard, you actually stabbed me! You stabbed me! You stabbed me!!"
"I'm going to make you all die!!!"
The husky roared angrily, and then, under the watchful eyes of all the animals and Xie Tianlang, Song Sanchuan, and Si Wuyai, it jumped into the lake with a splash!
So the thousands of wild bees followed the husky to the surface of the lake, circling around the husky as it came up for fresh air every now and then, refusing to leave, ready to swarm the husky and kill it instantly when it couldn't hold its breath any longer.
At this moment, Si Wuyai's hands were trembling as he prepared the medicine. "Why are you two still standing here? Go help him! That stupid husky has reached a dead end!!"
Although Si Wuyai wanted Husky Fugui to save his orange tabby cat, he absolutely did not want to see Gou Fugui put his life in danger while saving the cat.
Unfortunately, the medicine he was preparing was not ready yet, which put him under a lot of pressure.
Song Sanchuan still looked a little anxious, but Xie Tianlang, who had regained his human form, was very calm, and even had a hint of appreciative smile in his eyes.
"You can still laugh?!"
Is this guy some kind of sadistic person who enjoys watching their crush suffer?!
Si Wuyai's voice had changed.
Xie Tianlang didn't even glance at him:
"You've got one thing wrong from the beginning."
Si Wuyai was taken aback.
“Yuanyuan is not a weakling whose fighting ability is about the same as yours.”
"Don't underestimate him."
"otherwise……"
Before Si Wuyai could understand Xie Tianlang's meaning, he suddenly heard a deafening scream that made him freeze instantly, unable to control his entire body.
He finally snapped out of the soul-crushing scream, turned around, and saw a groundhog floating in the lake, clinging to an inflatable cushion and screaming through a megaphone…?!
The swarm of terrifying wild bees that had faced the screaming attack had all fallen into the lake.
Wild bees, having evolved to fly, could barely manage to get back to shore even if their wings got wet from falling into the water. But the screeching groundhog in the middle of the lake was incredibly cunning. It lay on the inflatable mat, and just when one bee managed to take flight, it would use its megaphone to screech again, causing the swarm to fall back into the water. Then it would screech again when the bees took flight, and so on...
Finally, these thousands of giant wild bees, capable of easily killing countless animals and people, were first lured to the lake by the husky, and then drowned after being repeatedly shouted by the suddenly appearing groundhogs.
Si Wuyai: "..."
!!
Xie Tianlang laughed happily, the sound growing louder and happier, then moving towards the direction of his heart.
"I told you not to underestimate my Yuanyuan."
"Otherwise, you might not even know how you died in the end."
