The End Times as a Song

Chapter 70 Demigod's Body

On the road leading to Fangcao Village through the forests of Chifeng, night had fallen, and the surroundings were eerie and filled with an air of terror. Every now and then, the low growls of wild beasts could be heard, disturbing the peace of mind.

Huan Rugo walked alone along the forest path. She glanced around occasionally, vaguely sensing something following her. She stealthily looked behind her, but couldn't make out what it was.

"Ah Yan...?"

Huan Rugo thought it was Tu Shanyan following behind her, so she couldn't help but turn around and look back, softly calling out Tu Shanyan's name.

Huan Rugo actually regretted handing Tu Shanyan over to Li Luo to take back to Qingqiu. It wasn't her original intention. She and Tu Shanyan had been inseparable since childhood.

This separation meant they didn't know when they would meet again, and she was naturally reluctant to part. She felt that Tu Shanyan shared the same feelings, and she thought he might follow them. With anticipation, she looked back.

"...!"

There was no answer to her; the surroundings were eerily quiet. From time to time, something stirred in the distant bushes, as if hiding something. This scene seemed strangely familiar, unconsciously reminding Huan Rugo of Huang Yunlan.

"Could it be Huang Yunlan? No way! I'm probably overthinking it."

The bushes stirred again, and Huan Ruge cast another expectant glance at them. She called out to the bushes.

"Ah Yan, Ah Yan...! Is that you?"

Huan Rugo called out several times into the bushes, but still received no response. The thing still dared not appear before her. Huan Rugo became even more cautious, a sense of tension and unease suddenly welling up inside her. Her heart was in her throat.

"Oh no, if it's not Ayan, then who could it be?"

She involuntarily took a few steps back, carefully examining the shadows, her heart filled with growing unease and speculation.

In the darkness of the jungle, it was impossible to see what it was. It moved a few times and then stopped. A pair of cold, menacing glints flashed in the darkness, staring intently at Huan Rugo, sending chills down her spine. Huan Rugo felt extremely uncomfortable and turned away, her back to the creature.

"Oh no, it looks like a wolf cub. Could it be one of Lang Ao's people?!"

She clutched her pounding heart, muttering anxiously to herself.

"I didn't see it, I didn't see it...!"

Huan Rugo felt a chill run down her spine, and she anxiously tried to calm her heart, which was pounding in her throat. At that moment, she heard Da Nian's words.

"Sister, run! They're wolves, not humans like you. Run!"

"Ah Yuan, I want to run away too, but can I even escape now?"

Reason told Huan Ruge that it was too late, so she quickly pulled out an inconspicuous little dagger to protect herself.

"Never mind, let's give it our all! Anyone who dares to hurt me, I'll retaliate without hesitation."

Huan Rugo drew her dagger, waiting for the hungry wolf to attack. In the distance, the wolf grinned, revealing a sly smile.

"This girl isn't skinny or frail, she looks quite delicious, but the main thing is that she doesn't seem to have any ability to protect herself."

The hungry wolf revealed a triumphant smile, preparing to pounce and enjoy the delicious meal.

"call out……!"

A soul-devouring worm emerged from the distance, lunging at the hungry wolf and killing it. Lin Yin stepped out from the shadows, still with the same pale face, looking sickly and neither god nor demon. He glanced at the wolf's corpse and said mockingly.

"Hmph, you really are fearless. You dare to touch my people."

Huan Rugo remained on guard, not daring to make any rash moves. She thought to herself.

"If you dare to pounce on me, I'll make you regret it... Don't blame me if I don't hold back."

Huan Rugo had high hopes in her mind, but the hand holding the dagger trembled uncontrollably. Yes, she still had a deep-seated trauma after her battle with Lang Ao.

Lin Yin glanced at Huan Rugo, who was still trembling, walked over, and patted her on the shoulder. Huan Rugo instantly froze, and Lin Yin was amused by her reaction.

"Girl, I didn't expect to see you again so soon...!"

Lin Yin snorted coldly and said to Huan Ruge.

"Lin Yin...! How could it be you...?"

Hearing the familiar voice only made Huan Rugo more frightened. She mustered her courage and turned around to confirm. Her trembling turn caused her to accidentally meet Lin Yin's gaze, creating an awkward and ambiguous atmosphere.

"It's over, it's all over now, we've fallen into Lin Yin's hands again."

Huan Rugo shivered, her mind racing.

Who do you think you are?

Lin Yin stared at Huan Ruge and asked a question out of curiosity.

"No, no, I didn't mean to...?"

Huan Ruge tried to conceal her true feelings.

"You're not thinking about anything...?"

Looking at the adorable Huan Ruge, Lin Yin couldn't help but tease her.

"...!"

Huan Rugo lowered her head and remained silent; she didn't know how to answer the question.

"Why are you all alone? Where are the foxes from the Tushan family?"

The moment their eyes met, Lin Yin's gaze never left Huan Rugo, making her even more frightened. Lin Yin couldn't help but ask a cold question.

“He…Ayan, he’s gone back to Qingqiu.”

Huan Rugo stammered a reply.

"The fox went back to its den, leaving you behind...? Just leaving you alone in the wilderness... to fend for yourself...?"

Lin Yin spoke coldly and sarcastically.

"No, no, you've misunderstood Ayan. I'm the one who sent him back."

Huan Rugo quickly waved her hand to interrupt Lin Yin and explained on Tu Shanyan's behalf. She glanced at Lin Yin, then turned her head away.

“…! Continue.”

Lin Yin turned and sat down on the ground, listening intently. He wanted to know what kind of person Tu Shan Yan was in Huan Ru Ge's heart.

"I can't explain Ah Yan's situation with Qingqiu to you. Even if you did understand, you wouldn't comprehend it."

Huan Rugo turned to look at Lin Yin, who was sitting on the ground, sighed, and continued speaking.

"I have no interest in foxes."

Lin Yin glanced at Huan Ruge, indicating that he had no interest in Tu Shanyan.

"So what are you doing...? What do you want me to say...?"

Lin Yin's confused behavior completely baffled Huan Ruge, who asked Lin Yin in bewilderment.

"...!"

Lin Yin did not reply to Huan Rugo. He looked down at the ground for a long time, and neither of them spoke.

Did you come all this way just to see me?

"What do you say?"

What can I say?

"Can you unlock the cage of the Great Beast's Fate?"

"So that's what you were after...?"

"I didn't come here on purpose...! I just happened to be passing by, just happened to remember, and casually killed a wolf...!"

These words completely stunned Huan Rugo.

"...!"

"Why aren't you saying anything...? Do you need me to take you home?"
