Chapter 400 - 400 YOU CAN’T WIN

400 YOU CAN’T WIN

Bai Chen was surprised to see how Wu Jinhai was running from the opposite direction towards him and Bai Lang. The man in red wasn’t alone as he was with Yu Ming and Wu Jingguo, but Bai Chen only paid attention to the man in the red robe even though he wasn’t the only one who had suddenly appeared on the screen in front of him.

“Looks like you’re fine, Wu Jinhai,” the Werewolf Prince muttered as his teary eyes couldn’t stop staring at the familiar face.

Wu Jinhai was no longer wearing his golden mask, and that was why Bai Chen could see that the black-haired man was unharmed. There were no wounds on the man’s body and face, and it didn’t seem like the man had received any torture from the enemy.

Bai Chen could also see how the red-robed man kept Wu Jiang with him, and it seemed that nothing had changed with him. Furthermore, judging from how Wu Jinhai immediately inquired about his whereabouts when he met the wolf form of the Immortal Elder, Bai Chen could tell that the man was worried about him.

So, Wu Jinhai didn’t betray him, right? Even if Shao Yaoting tried to tempt him with his offer, Wu Jinhai’s heart wouldn’t waver, right?

There was no verbal confirmation for his question, but while Bai Chen could see the obvious concern in Wu Jinhai’s eyes, he was sure the man had remained loyal to him. The man did not betray him.

That one thing was enough for Bai Chen, and he knew that this wasn’t the right time to mind his personal matters. His people had barely escaped danger thanks to Bai Lang, but Bai Lang still had to get rid of the dangerous beasts within the Forbidden Forest.

Previously Bai Chen could hear how Bai Lang ordered Wu Jinhai, Yu Ming, and Wu Jingguo to save the people while he was trying to distract the beasts, but the three men would not comply with the order.

Yu Ming only said, “His Highness the Crown Prince has sent a message to Emperor Wu Shun, and the Emperor’s army will soon arrive at this place. They will immediately help those people in the core of the forest.”

.....

That was what Yu Ming said, and even if he was only talking about how Wu Shun’s army would arrive at the forest in no time, he was indirectly telling Bai Lang that he wanted to fight the beasts with him.

In the end, Bai Lang had no choice but to let the three men help him deal with the beast. When the three men stopped running, Bai Chen could recognize the area around them.

It was the area where the only cave within the forest used to exist. During the Beast Hunting Event, Wu Jinhai took him to the cave to rest for the night, but they accidentally witnessed how Bai Renshu was having a hot night with Shao Meihui in the cave. To be precise, it was Wu Jinhai who witnessed with his eyes how the two figures were carrying out such intimate activities in the cave, while Bai Chen couldn’t see anything because he was walking behind Wu Jinhai at that time.

But later he found out that it was Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui who carried out such a shameless activity in the middle of the dangerous Beast Hunting Event, but unfortunately, that shameless activity was also the last straw for the couple because Shao Meihui was killed by Three-Headed Snake that suddenly appeared in the cave area.

Now that Bai Lang and the others started to fight against the dangerous beasts in the area, Bai Chen couldn’t help but look gloomy at this moment. When Bai Renshu and Shao Meihui fought the Three-Headed Snake, he could only be a spectator, and this time it was the same when he could only watch the show instead of joining the fight.

The Three-Headed Snake wasn’t part of the beasts that had a fierce battle against Bai Lang and the others because Bai Renshu had killed the beast after it killed Shao Meihui, but now Bai Chen could see other giant beasts fighting with Bai Lang and the others.

There was even a gigantic bird that looked like a phoenix and had a pair of bloodshot eyes that was currently having a fierce battle with Wu Jingguo. Bai Chen didn’t know the beast’s name, but it wasn’t the only one. Yu Ming fought with a giant spider. No, it was not the Housekeeper Spider that trapped some disciples during the Beast Hunting Event. It was bigger and fiercer than that spider because it had the ability to clone itself when fighting the fish demon. When other beasts started coming at Yu Ming as well, the spider made it worse with its ability, and that was why Yu Ming looked like he was exhausted at this point.

When Bai Chen took his eyes off Wu Jingguo and Yu Ming, he could see how Wu Jinhai was fighting some beasts too. It was a beast that looked like a giant tiger, and there was also a beast that looked like a giant butterfly. Even if it looked like a butterfly with colorful wings, Bai Chen could tell that it was dangerous from how it kept spouting something black from its mouth. As soon as the black liquid touched something, the thing melted, enough to show that the liquid had such a high temperature.

Bai Lang was also not idle at this time as he was fighting several beasts as well. Three beasts were fighting the giant white wolf. One looked like a giant snake, one looked like a giant tortoise, and the last one looked like a giant flower. Yes, the last one did look like a harmless plant, but it could move every part of its body, and that was why Bai Chen knew that it was far from harmless.

Bai Lang continued to use his lightning on the beasts, but it seemed too difficult when he needed to face three beasts at once, and that was why his attacks had not been successful until now.

Wu Jinhai, Yu Ming, and Wu Jingguo were alike when they too were unable to use their power effectively on the gigantic creatures, and Bai Chen had an even more worried look on his face as he muttered, “Maybe you should stop fighting, Bai Lang. You can’t win the battle even if you are very strong.”
