Chapter 96: Brother Wolf is Finished

Qin Feiyang and the others pushed through brambles and thorns until deep into the night, reaching the innermost depths of the Black Bear King's lair.

Tonight there was no moon and no stars. Dark clouds shrouded the sky. The air felt somewhat stifling, and the surroundings were pitch black, with nothing visible.

"Bear King Senior, where are you? If you hear us, respond with a word."

The two could only hold torches as they walked through the forest, calling out. Although they had some dealings with the Black Bear King, they did not know the location of his old den. The Wolf King knew, but he was currently comatose and might not wake for some time, so they had to search for him themselves.

"This eerie weather is truly unbearable."

Ling Yunfei walked ahead, wielding a dagger to clear the path while muttering to himself. He looked quite irritated.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the sky and said worriedly, "It should rain soon. If we have not found the Black Bear King before the rain arrives, our troubles will be even greater."

If it were only light rain, the effect would not be severe. But if it turned into a torrential downpour, the Black Bear King's tracks would be washed away, making it far more difficult to locate him later.

Suddenly, Qin Feiyang noticed a black figure suddenly leaping out from a patch of grass ahead.

"Be careful!"

He hurriedly shoved Ling Yunfei aside, gripped Cang Xue in his left hand, and swung it fiercely toward the black figure.

Squeak!

A flash of blood appeared.

A strange cry rang out.

A scorpion the size of a palm fell into the grass at Qin Feiyang's feet, its body already split in half by Cang Xue.

"Poisonous scorpion!"

Ling Yunfei's eyes widened as he scanned the surroundings, not daring to divert his attention in the slightest.

The appearance of the poisonous scorpion meant that other venomous insects were definitely lurking nearby. These creatures, though not particularly formidable to look at, were cold-blooded killers who showed no mercy.

Rustle!

Just as the thought crossed his mind, it happened.

The wild grass around them began to shake violently.

As the two fixed their gaze, their scalps tingled and their faces turned deathly pale.

Not only were there groups of poisonous scorpions, but also poisonous frogs the size of fists, venomous spiders the size of palms, venomous snakes several meters long, and so on. All of them were venomous creatures that could instill fear with the mere mention of them.

"Poison insect nest?"

Qin Feiyang's face twitched.

A few days ago they had accidentally stumbled into the lair of the crocodile pack, and now they had entered the lair of the poison insects. Was their luck truly monstrous?

Ling Yunfei said, "The firelight must have attracted them. Quickly extinguish the torches!"

"No, if we do that, we'll just die even faster."

Qin Feiyang hurriedly stopped Ling Yunfei.

If the torches went out, their vision would vanish, and when these venomous creatures swarmed them, they would have no way to fight back.

But even with the torches and the ability to see them, it seemed they had only one path to death. The numbers were simply too vast, a dense mass of them. Even if they had three heads and six arms, they could not kill their way out.

Whoosh!!!

Those venomous creatures gradually approached. Once they entered attack range, they surged forth in a frenzy, pouncing toward the two.

This scene was enough to make anyone lose all courage.

Qin Feiyang did not dare hesitate. He hurriedly took Ling Yunfei and hid inside the ancient castle.

"What now?"

Both were anxious like ants on a hot pan. The surroundings were filled with poison insects, and they did not dare to go out. Without being able to leave, how were they to search for the Black Bear King?

"Sigh!"

Qin Feiyang took several deep breaths, trying to calm his restless heart. "Let's wait. If they do not find us, they should leave."

Meanwhile, outside the gates of the Dan Hall.

"Why hasn't Grandpa come back yet?"

The masked woman sat alone on the stone steps, supporting her chin with both hands, gazing at the street ahead, her eyes full of confusion.

Drip drop!

How much time had passed, she did not know. A steady footstep suddenly approached.

The masked woman rejoiced and hurried to the street, looking to the left.

She immediately saw two elderly men striding over. It was Feng Cheng and Mo Elder. Yet the two were more irritable than anyone else at this moment. They had searched every corner of the city thoroughly again, but still no news of Qin Feiyang.

At this point, they had no choice but to believe that the young man might truly have been secretly harmed.

Seeing the two, the masked woman was overjoyed. She quickly trotted over, blocking in front of them, cupping her hands and saying, "Greetings to Elder Feng and Elder Mo."

"Get out of the way!"

Feng Cheng shouted, not even looking, lowering his head and walking straight past the masked woman.

This left the masked woman somewhat dazed.

Mo Elder glanced at Feng Cheng, smiled helplessly, and asked, "Little girl, do you have something to say?"

"I..."

The masked woman realized that for a moment she did not know what to say.

So she took off her mask.

"It's you!"

Upon seeing the woman's true face, Mo Elder let out a startled cry and immediately rushed toward Feng Cheng, shouting, "Old Feng, hurry up and look at who she is!"

"No time for that."

Feng Cheng said without turning his head.

Mo Elder's face darkened, and he cursed angrily, "You old bastard, don't even recognize your own granddaughter?"

"Granddaughter?"

Feng Cheng was stunned, quickly turned around, and looked at the masked woman. Surprise and joy filled his face.

He took two steps at a time, arriving in front of the woman, saying, "Girl, when did you come back? Why didn't you inform Grandpa in advance? Grandpa could have come to pick you up!"

"I just wanted to give you old folks a surprise, but you didn't bother with me, which is really heartbreaking."

The masked woman said aggrievedly.

Feng Cheng smiled with a face full of doting affection: "Yes, yes, it's Grandpa's fault. Grandpa apologizes. But why did you bring a mask?"

The masked woman went up and hugged Feng Cheng's old arm, giggling, "Isn't it because your granddaughter has a natural beauty and is constantly being pestered, so I have to wear a mask to cover up?"

Feng Cheng was speechless and scolded with a laugh, "When did this girl learn to be so narcissistic? But it's good that way, it can save a lot of trouble."

The masked woman giggled, puzzled, "Grandpa, Elder Mo, you both look so worried just now. Did you encounter something troublesome?"

Mo Elder sighed, "It is hard to explain in a few words!"

Feng Cheng said, "Girl, you do not know that this time our Dan Hall brought a good seedling, but unfortunately, its whereabouts are still unknown until now."

"A good seedling?"

The masked woman was stunned. As for the temperaments of these two old men, she was quite familiar. Ordinary people could not enter their eyes at all.

She curiously asked, "Could it be more powerful than Cheng Yi?"

"Him?"

Feng Cheng dismissed it disdainfully: "Compared to that stinky brat, Cheng Yi does not even count as a P."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

The masked woman was astonished.

"Not at all exaggerated."

Mo Elder said.

The masked woman asked, "Then who is he? You value him so much, he must be quite famous!"

Mo Elder said, "He is called Jiang Haotian, and he just arrived in Black Bear City not long ago..."

"Wait!"

The masked woman stretched out her jade-like hand, her beautiful brows knitting tightly.

"What's wrong?"

Both looked at her in confusion.

The masked woman said, "Is it a young man about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing coarse linen, looking somewhat like a scholar?"

"Exactly him!"

"Girl, how did you know?"

The two were surprised.

The masked woman said, "When I came back, I encountered him in the forest outside. There seemed to be a blue-haired, blue-eyed person by his side."

It was Ling Yunfei!

They were not dead!

The two exchanged glances, their bodies trembling with excitement.

The masked woman continued, "But at that time, the masters and elders of the Jiang Family and Mu Family were chasing them. Do you know the reason?"

"What?"

"Damn it, damn it!"

At that moment the two's expressions changed drastically, cursing loudly.

"Old Mo, hurry up and notify the Hall Master and the Martial Hall Hall Master, tell them to bring people and meet with me as soon as possible."

"Girl, hurry up and take Grandpa to that patch of forest!"

Feng Cheng urged.

"Okay."

The masked woman nodded, put on the mask, and led Feng Cheng running out of the city.

"Jiang Family, Mu Family, you two have gone too far this time!"

Mo Elder also turned around, striding toward the Dan Hall, killing intent sharp in his old eyes.

Deepest part of Black Bear Mountain!

Ling Yunfei asked, "They should have dispersed, right?"

"I'll go take a look."

Qin Feiyang said.

But as soon as he stepped out, he immediately returned to the ancient castle and shouted at Ling Yunfei, "Quick, lend a hand!"

His ankle was bitten tightly by a poisonous spider as big as a fist!

His entire thigh was visibly blackening at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Ling Yunfei's expression changed, and he hurriedly took out his dagger, chopping the poisonous spider in one stroke.

Then he took out a detox pill and fed it to Qin Feiyang.

Only then did the two finally take a long breath.

Ling Yunfei frowned, "Didn't those venomous insects leave?"

Qin Feiyang shook his head helplessly, "It seems that for a short time, we will not be able to go out."

Although there was a detox pill, the number of venomous creatures was too vast, and in minutes they could gnaw away their blood, probably leaving nothing but bone fragments.

About half an hour passed.

The Wolf King finally woke up.

Qin Feiyang was overjoyed, immediately walking over and asking concernedly, "How do you feel?"

The Wolf King crawled up and moved around a bit, his pupils suddenly turning tragic, and he said angrily, "Little Qin Zi, Wolf Bro is ruined!"

"What?"

The joy in Qin Feiyang's heart was instantly extinguished by raging anger.

However, the Wolf King suddenly grinned widely, hehe laughing, "I am kidding, Wolf Bro is doing great now, full of energy and vigor."

"Bastard!"

Qin Feiyang was stunned, his temper flaring, slapping toward the Wolf King's head and roaring, "Can such things be joked about? Believe it or not, I will really ruin you now!"

The Wolf King's neck shrank back, laughing awkwardly, "Sorry, it was just that in the great disaster not dying, I suddenly felt like joking with you."

"Hmph!"

Qin Feiyang snorted coldly and asked, "Weren't you usually very vigilant? How did you get bumped into by Mu Fei and them?"

"Wolf Bro was not tired of playing in Black Bear Mountain, so he thought of coming back to find you."

"But after Wolf Bro came back, he heard rumors that you had disappeared."

"Wolf Bro was anxious to death inside, immediately searching the whole mountain and wilderness for you, but one careless moment, and they discovered him."

Recalling this matter, the Wolf King's huge pupils flashed with fierce light.

Upon hearing, Qin Feiyang's heart was touched. With the Wolf King's vigilance, such a thing should never have happened. It was because of his disappearance that the Wolf King was anxious and lost his vigilance, allowing himself to be discovered. Fortunately, at that time he arrived in time, or he would have self-blamed for the rest of his life.
