Gao Wu: I grow stronger with each death.

Chapter 44 Delving into the Secrets

Inside the cave.

Wang Sheng took out a strand of hair from the inner pocket of his robe.

That's Xiaohao's hair.

He specifically went to see Xiaohao last night and cut this out.

Currently, the wolf child is being kept in a room in the basement by Sister Yu, and it is unclear what to do with him; he is being kept in captivity for the time being.

"They say dogs have a keen sense of smell, shall we sniff?"

Wang Sheng raised his arm and brought the strand of hair close to the werewolf's nose.

"Sniff."

The werewolf's nose twitched twice, and its vertical pupils suddenly widened:

"Howl! Lapambionvich?!"

"What are you babbling about? But judging from your expression, you must know Xiaohao, that's good. I heard you started hunting humans relentlessly because Xiaohao was taken away?"

After Wang Sheng finished speaking, he put the hair away again:

"Now I have to talk to you about this. Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor. How can you kill innocent people indiscriminately? Is this okay? This is not okay. You're a grown man, you should be an adult, right? Even I, a 15-year-old middle school student, understand this principle, how come you don't? Besides..."

"Manuleseron! Dasniroch, Jebeporedojez!"

The werewolf interrupted, gesturing urgently to indicate something.

Wang Sheng was speechless.

"Why don't you speak Chinese? What's the use of your rush? I can't understand it or read it."

"Karen Ruzinjo Kafinyuen!"

"Look, you're in such a hurry again."

"Caturanpersidtaprioia!"

"You've already started crying."

"Snapped!"

The next instant, Wang Sheng's head was crushed again.

The werewolf himself didn't know why he swung his claw down.

I just felt... Wang Sheng's tone seemed a bit arrogant, and I couldn't help it.

But fortunately.

Less than a second later, Wang Sheng opened his eyes again.

[Because you were killed by the Rift due to language barriers, you received:]

【Werewolf Language (Perfect)】

[Skull strength increased: 8.12 → 12.9]

You have been resurrected.

"Tsk, did they just increase skull strength this time? It seems that even if the lethality is high enough, it's still not enough if the type of death is too limited."

These thoughts flashed through my mind.

The moment Wang Sheng opened his eyes, he uttered fluent werewolf language:

"Don't get excited, Lie. Little Howl is still alive. I rescued him, and he's eating well, sleeping well, and being well cared for. He's even gained a few pounds, both as a human and as a wolf."

Upon hearing this, the werewolf named Lie's eyes trembled, and a tear finally rolled down his cheek.

"Is he... is my brother alright?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you? I saved your brother and came all this way to tell you this good news. Is this how you repay kindness with enmity? Besides, if I were lying, why would I know your name is Lie?"

"Yes, yes..."

After a moment of distraction and bewilderment, Lie...

"Feel sorry!"

He immediately knelt on one knee, head bowed:

"It was my recklessness that offended my benefactor!"

"Ha, what's the use of just apologizing? You need to show me some real action, understand?"

As Wang Sheng spoke, he began to unbuckle his belt.

However, he quickly stopped and realized that it was not the right time to do such a thing.

Admittedly, it would be a good thing to let this werewolf kill you a hundred or a thousand times until you reach your limit.

But that's on the premise that the crack is sufficiently credible.

Wang Shengke's ability to infinitely enhance himself through death has not yet been fully revealed, but once people truly know the full extent of it, he will be easily targeted.

Let's talk first and find out the situation before making a decision.

"Get up and talk. I'll find a way to bring your brother back, but before that, I have something to ask you."

"......good."

Their willingness to cooperate is quite good.

The two quickly sat down facing each other, and Wang Sheng asked his first question:

"You're hunting human martial artists because Xiaohao was taken away?"

"more than."

Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng was taken aback:

"Not just one little howl?"

"Yes, Xiaohao is the first one."

I see......

Xiaohao wasn't even the only werewolf cub taken away. It's likely that Boss Zhu later learned his lesson and did things more thoroughly, preventing any further news from leaking out.

"But do you know that most of those you killed were innocent people? The people who were truly prepared with armed forces to plunder your tribe's children would not be killed so easily."

"I don't know, and I don't want to distinguish, but anything that enters our territory must have ill intentions and should be killed."

Crack slowly exhaled.

hiss......

Wang Sheng didn't know how to respond.

After all, Crack didn't even run out to kill indiscriminately; he only killed the intruders within his territory.

Moreover, for werewolves, humans are probably seen as a collective; if one person does something bad, it's easy for them to hate the entire group.

This kind of conflict is clearly not something that Wang Sheng, a mere middle school student, can resolve.

Of course, he wasn't there to be a peacemaker; he had no obligation to resolve the issue himself.

"Okay, let's talk about something else. What about the rest of your group? Or do you prefer to live alone?"

"They...have gone into hiding."

"Hiding? Because they're afraid the cubs will be stolen again?"

Lie shook his head:

"No, it's the dark period that's coming."

"The Dark Ages? What are those?"

Wang Sheng vaguely felt that this unfamiliar term was somewhat unusual.

"A kind of... disaster, we need to hide every now and then, otherwise we will die."

"Then why did you stay?"

"I want to avenge the children."

"..."

Wang Sheng remained silent.

The ins and outs of the matter have been basically clarified.

It seems this rift exploration was worthwhile; there are indeed many things worth exploring here.

The term "dark period," in particular, doesn't sound very ominous.

However, before getting to know the answer, Wang Sheng still asked the question that had always been on his mind.

"I have a set of techniques that Xiao Hao seems to have seen before. I'd like to ask if you know its origin."

After saying that, Wang Sheng suddenly activated the "Primitive Body Refining Method".

Body tempering, stance training, breathing exercises, body tempering, and fighting spirit!

And then...

Eight Desolate Fist!

Wang Sheng threw a punch, which made a crisp sound in the air.

Lie was taken aback upon seeing this:

"This...this is...I've seen it before, I've seen it before!"

Wang Sheng raised an eyebrow:

"Where have I seen you before?"

"Divine bones, the divine bones of the sanctuary."

"Divine bones?"

Wang Sheng was puzzled, but soon realized something:

"Is it a golden skeleton that also glows?"

He nodded: "That's right."

He continued:

"When the clansmen approach, they often see or sense something inside the divine bones. Children are afraid, and adults are afraid too."

"However..." Lie changed the subject, "The divine bone protects us and helps us through every dark period, so we are very grateful to it."

It turned out to be the case.

Wang Sheng nodded, having roughly understood the situation of the werewolf tribe, and even beginning to understand why the werewolf tribe was the only intelligent species discovered here so far.

That dark period was probably not something simple. Only a small branch of the werewolf clan survived because of the protection of what was suspected to be the "remains of the Savage God of Strength".

What else happened on the original planet?

Is it possible for me to learn the advanced techniques of the Primal Body Refining Method from the divine bone?

These all seem worth exploring in detail.

But we can't rush things now; we have to take it one step at a time...

"Crack," Wang Sheng continued, "when will the Dark Ages arrive?"

"Tomorrow night."
