Chapter 168 Do You Also Want to Contract a Mutant Beast?
But in any case, being able to capture this wolf king without exposing the trap net saved a lot of trouble.
Lin Muyan smiled and, in front of Xiao Li, pricked her fingertip, letting the blood seep into the wolf king's brow. The two quickly formed a contract.
Xiao Li only saw Lin Muyan's blood drip onto the wolf king's brow and then disappear. Immediately afterwards, he felt that the relationship between the wolf and the human seemed to have become closer.
Xiao Li himself couldn't quite explain what kind of strange feeling it was.
He memorized Lin Muyan's actions, thinking that he would try them out himself when he had the chance.
Just as I finished thinking that, I heard Lin Muyan's voice ring out softly.
"This is called a contract, but I don't know if this special relationship is suitable for ordinary people. If Colonel Xiao is too curious, he should try it out secretly. Be careful, curiosity killed the cat."
Lin Muyan herself wasn't sure if this kind of contractual relationship would bring danger to ordinary people. She only reminded Xiao Li out of kindness because she considered him a friend.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li couldn't help but compose himself and take a deep breath.
"Thank you for reminding me, but I think if I am unfortunate enough not to become an Awakener, I will definitely try the contract you mentioned. I am a soldier, and I only accept dying on the battlefield."
Lin Muyan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. When she met Xiao Li's gaze, the determination in his eyes made her admire him.
However, Lin Muyan didn't let him off the hook, saying:
"You just can't accept that you can't become stronger, can you?"
Xiao Li choked, his face turning red for once, and he had to admit it.
Yes, he did have this immature mindset. He felt that as a soldier and a man, he would be too useless if he couldn't become stronger in the apocalypse.
Lin Muyan pouted and waved at him.
"Then come down. Go and wander around somewhere else for a while to avoid this situation. I'll help you fulfill this wish."
Xiao Li was taken aback, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.
"Miss Lin, what...does this mean?"
Lin Muyan rolled her eyes and pointed at the wolf king.
"Didn't you want to try being an ordinary person and whether you can contract a mutated beast like me? I can let you try right now, but you have to give me some time and don't bother me."
Xiao Li was smart enough to understand Lin Muyan's meaning, and immediately climbed down the tree excitedly and went into the fog ahead.
However, he wasn't stupid. He found a vine and tied it to a tree, holding the other end in his hand. If it wasn't long enough, he would use new vines or branches along the way to extend it.
"Miss Lin, I'm going to take a walk over there. Let me know when you're all better."
Xiao Li swiftly disappeared into the mist. He knew Lin Muyan must have some secret she couldn't let him know. Although he was very curious, he wouldn't do anything like prying into other people's lives.
Since others are willing to help him, he can't take advantage of their kindness.
[This Colonel Xiao doesn't seem like the typical rich kid from a powerful family. He's too reasonable, making all those spoiled brats seem rather naive.]
[Fu Ssu-nien: Don't think you can talk bad about me just because I'm not around.]
[Haha, is Young Master Fu alright? He's just a cheeky young man, much more reliable than those real playboys. But compared to Colonel Xiao, Young Master Fu is indeed a bit green. Colonel Xiao has been in the army for so many years; his temperament and demeanor are much more mature.]
Who do you think Lin Muyan will choose? It's so hard to guess! If it were me, I'd choose Young Master Fu. I think he's more my type.
"Then I want Colonel Xiao. Let's each take one, and no one should take the other's!"
Lin Muyan stared speechlessly at the comments section; lately, the content had become increasingly uninformative.
You picked Fu Sinian and Xiao Li even though you could get close to them?
After Xiao Li left, Lin Muyan immediately took out a beast-catching net.
While the mutated wolves were still gnawing on the pig and lamb legs, she swiftly made her move, trapping each wolf's head with a lasso.
The mutated wolves, who were wolfing down their food, suddenly felt a mysterious power envelop them. They immediately stopped biting and stood still like lapdogs.
The wolf king witnessed the whole process, and a hint of fear appeared in his ruby-like wolf eyes as he stared warily at the animal-catching net in Lin Muyan's hand.
Therefore, even if it doesn't actively choose the contract, the master still has ways to subdue it, and still in this undignified way.
It has a tuft of wolf fur on its head that it is proud of, which it usually grooms with its paws. Wouldn't it all collapse when it's covered by that net?
Lin Muyan had no idea what the wolf king was celebrating. She put away the animal-catching net and put the sixteen mutated wolves into the black space, leaving only one silver-gray mutated wolf standing there, looking at Lin Muyan and then at the wolf king with a bewildered expression.
Meow~
Seeing that he had no opportunity to use his skills, Awen simply touched Lin Muyan's foot with his paw.
Lin Muyan understood and put it into the black space as well, while looking at the wolf king.
Do you want to go in?
The wolf king immediately shook its head. Although it was curious about where they had gone, it had just been contracted and wanted to stay with its master a little longer.
Seeing that she could communicate with the wolf king without any problems, Lin Muyan felt a surge of emotion.
I wonder if these mutated beasts will ever be able to speak human language. If they do, that would be really interesting.
Lin Muyan tugged at the vine that Xiao Li had left behind. Sensing the pull, Xiao Li immediately turned back, glanced around, and exclaimed in surprise.
"Miss Lin, is there only one mutated wolf left? What about the others?"
Lin Muyan made up a random excuse to brush it off, then pointed at the silver-gray mutated wolf and said:
"Go and try to form a contract with it."
Xiao Li was taken aback upon hearing this, and his heart immediately started racing. He felt a mix of trepidation, nervousness, and anticipation.
He had no doubts about Lin Muyan's words, nor did he have any concerns about the mutated beast.
Miss Lin always gave him a feeling that he could trust her completely.
But when he walked up to the mutated wolf and saw the wolf's eyes, he hesitated.
Strange, that bewildered, dull, and somewhat detached look in my eyes... I feel like I've seen it somewhere before.
He remembered that he had encountered a similarly dull-looking, desireless zombie at the North District Central Hospital.
Now that I think about it, this must have been one of Lin Muyan's methods. She could make out-of-control mutated beasts and zombies lose their nature of attacking people and become no longer threatening.
However, Xiao Li did not ask Lin Muyan for confirmation. He guessed that this ability must be very taxing and should not be used lightly.
Otherwise, with so many rioting zombies at the time, Lin Muyan couldn't have possibly managed to make only one zombie lose its bloodthirsty nature.
Thinking of this, Xiao Li felt that he was asking too much of her. Miss Lin must have gone through a lot to help him test the contract.
He was willing to owe this favor.
