"Hey? Where are you going?" Cao Youcai, yawning as he got up for his shift, looked at Yang Xiaoyou's back as she walked toward the camp's exit, feeling a bit puzzled.
"I'm hungry. I'm going to find something to eat. Liang Qian should be coming soon, so I don't need to wait," Yang Xiaoyou waved her hand without turning her head and stepped into the darkness where the firelight couldn't reach, as if she had vanished from this world.
"Tsk, tsk. How dare that idiot wander around alone at a time like this? Ha, what a fool. Once she’s alone, she'll become prey. Let's see who she cries to then. She could have had a girl throw herself at her and didn’t even take a bite. Serves her right to be single forever," Cao Youcai sneered as he watched Yang Xiaoyou leave.
Heart felt a sense of schadenfreude; he had never liked that fellow and was hoping she would encounter something unpleasant that night.
At that moment, perhaps their voices had disturbed someone in the girls' tent, as Han Yan, who had been stepped on several times, groggily crawled out of the tent, seemingly wanting to intervene. Cao Youcai couldn’t help but whistle teasingly at her.
A figure darted swiftly among the treetops, racing deep into the rainforest like a ghost in the dark night.
The figure, which had been moving gracefully and naturally, suddenly pressed down on a twisted branch beside it and executed a swift turn, leaping into the air to land atop the tree. From its hands and waist, several silk threads shot out and secured themselves with a few soft sounds, allowing the person to hover silently above the treetop without causing any disturbance.
In front of them, hidden among the green leaves, a probe was faithfully recording everything ahead, showing no reaction whatsoever to Yang Xiaoyou's presence behind it.
There was not even a tremor; Yang Xiaoyou's arrival did not cause any change.
"Hmm, the division seems quite reasonable. Haven't there been any abnormalities reported recently?" Heart murmured softly. Meanwhile, a series of faint digital symbols flickered in Yang Xiaoyou's eyes as she raised her arm and gently touched the probe. An invisible ripple instantly spread out.
In Yang Xiaoyou's vision, images from another probe flashed rapidly—an empty jungle stream filled with moss-covered boulders, various camps arranged either neatly or haphazardly, and—
A silver wolf with sleek fur stood nearly as tall as an adult water buffalo!
With its magnificent appearance and powerful build, it stood majestically on a protruding rock, coldly gazing down at one of the camps below. Its pristine fangs glinted with a bloodthirsty gleam.
The switching of images halted abruptly; returning to that earlier scene made Yang Xiaoyou's pupils constrict slightly.
Even an adult Northeast Tiger would not possess the size of this silver wolf!
This is not the size that the Wolf Species should appear in!
What troubled Yang Xiaoyou Heart the most was that after locking onto that probing device, the silver wolf seemed to sense something and lifted its head to look in the direction of the probe.
Its indifferent gaze revealed a hint of pride.
'Ssss'
The forcibly interrupted scene now appeared to be filled with flickering snowflake-like spots, and then it completely detached from the camera, returning to focus on Yang Xiaoyou.
"Unbelievable!"
Feeling an overwhelming interference, Yang Xiaoyou struggled to push their consciousness out of the connection and found it difficult to calm down.
Unlike the first encounter with the Anti-Lock System interference, this time it seemed to be pure interference from the Spirit Realm!
And there was only one entity in the world capable of suppressing them in the Spirit Realm!
"Is it you who has come?"
After murmuring this, Yang Xiaoyou instantly left their original position. The silver Silk Thread on their wrist and waist shot forward, propelling Yang Xiaoyou's body through the jungle at an unfathomable speed. The device and Yang Xiaoyou themselves moved as one, achieving perfect coordination.
In a nearby camp, chaos reigned. The only fire pit flickered dimly, as if it hadn't been tended to for some time. Six or seven figures in Camouflage Uniforms, unconscious and lying in pools of blood, were unrecognizable due to their weathered appearances; they were all part of this round's Military Training Students.
'Crackle'
Just as the last piece of firewood popped, a ghostly sound rushed out from the nearby bushes, propelled by a strong forward momentum. It spiraled through the air several times before landing awkwardly on the ground and sliding a short distance.
Seeing this scene unfold, the figure that appeared looked somewhat surprised.
"Not dead?"
After murmuring in surprise, Yang Xiaoyou approached a girl lying on the ground, turning her over. The once fair face was now stained with some blood, but there was still a faint rise and fall of her chest.
She was the only one in this camp still alive.
Looking around, although several corpses had been completely dismembered and were in pieces, the overall mass had not decreased. This meant that the enormous wolf had not fed on them; it was purely for the sake of slaughter!
Yang Xiaoyou carefully stripped away the girl's clothing to examine her injuries. He noticed two sharp bite marks on her collarbone.
From the wounds, it seemed that the giant wolf had bitten her, nearly taking a chunk out of her shoulder. However, it appeared that it had been careful, leaving only these two deep bite marks, which had not bled much before coagulating.
At this moment, the girl's skin was slightly reddened, and her breathing seemed to quicken, as if something significant was happening within her body.
After a moment of fluctuating expressions on her face, Yang Xiaoyou leaned down and opened his mouth towards the bite mark on her collarbone, seemingly intending to suckle.
"Pervert."
Just then, a clear and emotionless voice rang out beside him, startling Yang Xiaoyou so much that he almost spat out blood. He looked up to see Feng Lin squatting on a protruding rock beside him, resting her chin on her hand and staring at him with an amused expression.
He hadn't expected her to show up; she must have sensed something was wrong. He just didn't think she would catch him in such an inappropriate situation.
Yang Xiaoyou coughed awkwardly before nervously looking up and asking, "It's not safe here. Where's Menglu?"
"Sent it out," she said lightly as she jumped down and walked over to Yang Xiaoyou, blinking her clear eyes at Yang Xiaoyou's indecent actions while calmly asking, "Sent it out? How did you send it out?"
At a section of the Ecological Park near the Tightrope fence, a patrolling guard stared at the gap that had been cut into the fence. His flashlight slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground. This was the situation with the Divine Horse.
"Drug treatment, yes, I think she seems to show some symptoms of poisoning. Help me deal with it," Yang Xiaoyou explained with a dry laugh after hearing that Feng Lin had knocked out Meng Lu and 'created' an exit for her before sending her to school.
Although his original intention was just to see if the changes were caused by a virus, he worried that Feng Lin might not understand that explanation, so he opted for a more straightforward approach.
During the recent tests on the injured girl's blood, he discovered that it bore a slight resemblance to the Evolved Form they had dealt with before.
This change in Evolved Form was not as domineering as before. By the time this girl woke up, she would likely notice that all her Aspects had improved upon recovery but would remain oblivious to what exactly had changed within her.
As for the other six corpses, they were probably just typical cases of unsuitable individuals.
On the other side, after a moment of daze, seemingly digesting Yang Xiaoyou's words, Feng Lin began to unbutton her clothes.
Yang Xiaoyou was startled and quickly covered his eyes, peeking through his fingers as he said, "Oh dear, that's enough! Girls should pay attention to their image."
It was unclear whether Feng Lin understood Yang Xiaoyou's words; she didn't completely remove her clothing but revealed her smooth, rounded shoulders and graceful curves. Her skin glowed under the moonlight like jade, perfectly complemented by her collarbone, creating a beautiful sight akin to a dimple that captivated anyone who looked.
"Drug treatment."
Feng Lin, seemingly unfazed by Yang Xiaoyou's gaze, spoke with a serious yet somewhat dazed expression.
Yang Xiaoyou, recovering from the visual shock, quickly noticed a faint red dot on Feng Lin's shoulder.
This red dot appeared as a minor flaw on beautiful porcelain, completely out of place with the surroundings of Zhou Xian.
What surprised Yang Xiaoyou the most was that the center of this red dot seemed to have been penetrated by something, resembling a tiny pinhole.
"What is this?!" Knowing Feng Lin's abilities well, Yang Xiaoyou was extremely astonished. She understood just how difficult it would be to create such a wound on her without Feng Lin's consent.
"I ran into that Bad Woman on the way," Feng Lin replied, blinking and tilting her head slightly.
The Bad Woman, who was her greatest rival and had entangled their fates for two lifetimes, seemed to be the only one Yang Xiaoyou could recall from her memories.
In their previous life, it was Feng Lin who had discovered the existence of Dream Butterfly without even realizing it.
