Chapter 353 Choose Between Life and Death

The antlers of the deer produced a monster, Many traveling merchants saw the black snake scorpion crawling all over the ground in the night. Some even swore that they had seen a black monster thirty feet away. All sorts of rumors were stirred up among the traveling merchants. Most people chose to close their businesses at this time and temporarily put away their thoughts of crossing the antler plains.

The once bustling antler plains had truly turned into a wasteland these past few days, and Liao Wuren was nowhere to be found.

It was September, and the autumn wind blew on the antlers.

At night, there was a bonfire that became the only light on the pitch-black wasteland.

Xu Han frowned as he looked at the enormous figure in front of him. He crawled on the ground, his ears drooping, his enormous head written with fatigue, and his body trembling slightly. Even if Xu Han burned the fire to its peak, it seemed that he could not drive away the chill around the enormous figure.

Xuan'er was lying beside him, seemingly trying to transmit her body temperature to the other party, but this method also had little effect.

It had already been five days since he defeated the black monster. According to the plan, Xu Han should go to Great Xia to find a way to enter the Dragon Hidden Temple. However, the wolf king's injuries were worse by the day. No matter what, Xu Han could not leave peacefully.

Xu Han had indeed studied medicine with the Headmaster for half a year. He had also studied many medical books and records in the Exquisite Pavilion. However, these were all methods aimed at humans. However, the Giant Wolf was different. He was a demon, and the reason why he was in such a state was not because of those external injuries, but because of the internal injuries caused by the invasion of the black monster's black gas.

The meridians of the demon race were different from those of the human race. Xu Han did not dare to act recklessly because he was afraid of self-defeating.

Five days passed, but the situation of the Wolf King did not seem to be improving in the slightest. Instead, his aura became weaker and weaker.

Thinking of this, Xu Han walked to the side of the Wolf King. It was truly too big. Even if it was lying on the ground, its head was still at Xu Han's lower abdomen.

"Miao?" Xuan'er stood up and called out to Xu Han, her tone filled with anxiety.

"Brother Lang, your situation is not optimistic. I think it would be better than not doing anything if I didn't give it a try instead of waiting for death." Xu Han reached out to stroke the Wolf King's huge head and said softly.

He felt that with his opponent's intelligence, he could more or less hear what he said.

"Awoo!" The Wolf King did not disappoint Xu Han. At that time, he let out an extremely soft howl and shook his head up and down. Obviously, he agreed with Xu Han's words.

Xu Han took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. He began to carefully sense the situation inside the Wolf King's body.

It had to be said that this was a shocking situation.

The meridians in the Wolf King's body were entrenched by some black power that was like a poisonous snake. It was constantly corroding his meridians. Wherever those black energies passed through, the Wolf King's meridians would be corroded to their normal black color. At this moment, those black energies had already corroded more than half of the Wolf King's meridians. As time passed, this corrosion continued to expand.

Seeing this, Xu Han frowned deeply. He knew very well that the only way to save the Wolf King was to know the strange black energy.

But before that, he had tried to use the sword intent in his body to penetrate into the wolf king's body, but the results were not as satisfactory as expected.

The sword intent could indeed resist that black energy, but it required a tremendous amount of energy. Even more terrifying, as the sword intent fought against the black energy, the damage it caused to the Wolf King's meridians was enormous.

But now, the situation in the Wolf King's body was too terrible. If this continued, it would only be death. Xu Han glanced at the Wolf King at that time and finally gritted his teeth. He gathered the sword intent in his body again and poured it into the Wolf King's body.

This silent battle.

However, after dozens of breaths of time, Xu Han's head was already covered in sweat, while the Wolf King's body trembled even more intensely.

This time, Xu Han was careful enough to wrap his sword intent around the Wolf King's meridians as much as possible to minimize the damage to him, but the results were negligible.

The black energy was already connected to the Wolf King's meridians. They were inseparable from each other. The best way to avoid harming the Wolf King's meridians and understand the black energy was to peel it off. However, this black energy was neither true essence nor demonic energy. Xu Han had never heard of it before, but he couldn't think of any way to do so.

Xu Han realized that even if this continued, even if he eliminated the black gas, the Wolf King would still die because of the shattered meridians. He couldn't help but hesitate again.

"Awoo!" However, the Wolf King seemed to have sensed this. He let out an angry roar and stared at Xu Han with his big eyes.

Xu Han was stunned. Of course, he did not understand the Wolf King's words, but he could sense something from his eyes.

It was anger and urgency.

It was decisive, and it was also dignity.

Everything had a spirit, whether it was a human, a demon, or just an ant, all of them longed to live, and other than that, it was more important to live with dignity.

Like the Wolf King in front of him, he had his own intelligence. Of course, he knew what Xu Han was waiting for, but he still chose to continue.

It would rather die because of the opening of its meridians than let the black energy slowly corrode its own vitality.

This was, of course, a somewhat radical logic.

But Xu Han chose to respect this logic.

From his point of view, life and death were the rights of living beings, and he chased after this right, so he should defend this right.

So he nodded.

"I see, Brother Wolf."

As a result, sword intent once again surged out of his body and rushed into the Wolf King's body.

This time, Xu Han was extremely resolute. He continuously used his sword intent to cut through the black energy, but his body couldn't help but tremble.

This was because he knew that the annihilation of every black energy meant that one of the Wolf King's meridians was broken.

Every time he used his sword intent, it meant that the Wolf King was a step closer to death.

However, there was no fear or struggle in the eyes of the Wolf King, only calm and serene.

The deer horn plain's night breeze howled, and the bonfire was messy in the wind, but it stubbornly burned, not extinguished.

Xuan'er let out a wailing cry. She extended her claws and gently placed them on the giant head of the Wolf King, as if she was trying to placate the other party.

The Wolf King's eyes narrowed in exhaustion. At this moment, it seemed that it was extremely difficult for him to open his eyes.

He stuck out his huge tongue as if he wanted to lick Xuan'er.

This time, Xuan'er did not dodge. It allowed the mucus on the Wolf King's huge tongue to infect its entire body.

After doing all of this, the Wolf King seemed to be satisfied.

His eyes slowly closed, and the aura in his nostrils gradually turned from weak to nothingness.

Seeing this scene, Xu Han couldn't tell what it was like.

Everything was born in the world, traveled in the world, and traveled in the world.

There is joy, there is suffering.

In the end, if he could choose his own life and death…

Perhaps it was luck.
