Another day passed. The three of them had made preparations the night before. After waking up, they simply packed up and headed to where Lucaon was together.

However, today was a little different from the previous days. The sky was very dark in the morning, with dark clouds and thunder and lightning.

The entire Lingxi Mountain was tinged with a sense of weirdness, and the turbulent atmosphere seemed like the end of the world.

A cold wind blew by, and the surrounding plants made creepy laughter as they were blown by the wind. This situation probably meant that something big was about to happen.

"It was sunny yesterday, why is it so cloudy today?"

The three of them noticed something unusual almost at the same time, but they still moved forward. The more this happened, the more worrying it became.

But the most uneasy person at the moment was Brest. He was not yet mentally ready to meet Lucaon, and was pulled out by Ye Xi.

But he knew very well that he had to fulfill his promise on time. Lingxi Mountain was in danger now, and whether he could overcome the difficulties depended on himself.

“Although the atmosphere is weird, it feels very quiet around here.”

"So, kid, do you usually live alone in the tree house?"

"That's right. After all, we have to hunt frequently, and the house has to be built deep in the forest."

"Won't you be bored?" asked Charles.

Brest was slightly stunned and shook his head subconsciously.

"It would be boring living there alone at night, but during the day I would occasionally go to the village to see other hunters."

"Also, because that tree house has been our family's home for generations, it's impossible to abandon it."

Ye Xi and Xia Er nodded when they heard this. Since it was passed down, there was nothing to worry about.

"But fortunately, I'm alone now, so what I do is my own business."

"When I was feeling down before, I would leave the Spirit Breath Mountains and go to the main city to find Lana."

"Are you going on a date?"

Brest's confident smile suddenly froze there, as if Ye Xi had predicted it.

He quickly denied it, a slight blush appearing on his face.

"Lana and I are friends. Is there anything wrong with asking her for help?"

"No problem, at least you admit that you like her, right?"

Brest froze again, suddenly feeling exhausted from talking.

"Hey! Are you treating me like a joke?!"

"No, no, I think you're pretty good, keep it up!"

Ye Xi had some fun, but he stopped at the right time. The reason why he said these things to make Brest embarrassed was to ease the atmosphere.

But I didn’t expect the effect to be so good, even beyond my expectations.

Charles was also watching and laughing, which made Brest's face feel a little hot. He felt that if he continued like this, he would say everything in his heart.

"Alright, alright, enough joking. Hurry and find Lucaon and make him form a contract with you."

"We can't rush this. I need to abide by the house rules. The process needs to be done step by step. If there is a mistake, the contract will not be established."

Ye Xi always thought that the contract was too simple. One would not understand it without experiencing it.

After hearing what Brest said, she didn't bother to refute him, but continued walking forward.

Just as they were about to reach the giant tree, a group of animals suddenly jumped out from the front and ran towards the three of them.

"what happened?!"

Ye Xi, who was standing at the front, was the first to exclaim in surprise. She saw a group of elk and animals running towards them.

Following behind were other predators. Ye Xi subconsciously thought that the elk were fleeing, so she went around them and faced the carnivores head-on.

But at this moment, Brest stopped Ye Xi.

"What are you doing?"

"Wait a minute, don't do anything yet."

Ye Xi was a little confused as Brest suddenly stood in front of him and stopped him.

Seeing that the black panther with a ferocious face was about to pounce, Ye Xi pushed Brest away and tried to subdue it.

"Go away!"

"Oh, wait!"

But the next second, the black panther actually went around Ye Xi, as if running for its life, and ran back without looking back.

Then more and more animals passed by the three people, and even birds flew away from the trees in a hurry. This scene seemed to be telling the three people that there was something bad ahead.

And just after that, all the animals ran backwards, and the wind became stronger and stronger. The giant tree was not far ahead.

"Are they running away?"

"It seems so, that's why I stopped you. With such a large scale, aren't you afraid of being stepped on?" Brest said to Ye Xi.

At first, Charles also noticed it and she leaned against a tree nearby.

Ultimately, it was because Ye Xi was too impulsive. He immediately entered a state of combat readiness when he felt a little bit of uneasiness.

Ye Xi showed a look of dissatisfaction and glanced at the air.

"Okay, I admit I was a little excited just now, but don't let your guard down now."

"Lukaon is just ahead. My intuition tells me that a battle is about to take place."

Recalling that the animals just now fled from the direction of the giant tree, it means that they must have seen Lucaon, but for some reason they fled in panic.

Ye Xi's intuition was not wrong. After they passed through the bushes and came to the grass under the giant tree.

The scene before them stunned the three of them.

Dark clouds loomed overhead, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and the lush green leaves of the giant trees were torn apart by the strong wind.

Strong gusts of wind blew up in the air, as loud and majestic as the roar of a dragon, and even more terrifying.

"Where is Lucaon?"

The howling wind made my hair messy and made it difficult to open my eyes.

Brest tried to look around and saw a figure moving up and down on the branches of the giant tree.

A low roar was heard, Brest looked up slightly and frowned immediately.

"You two, look up!"

"Hmm... The wind is so strong, it's hard for me to open my eyes..."

Ciel couldn't see properly because his hair was disrupting his vision.

Ye Xi had a hood, so she put it on in advance and then looked up in the direction Brest said.

Her expression suddenly froze, and she subconsciously pulled Charles away.

"Quickly open!"

Ye Xi shouted loudly, and Brest also stepped back when he heard it.

The dark figure on the branch of the giant tree was Lucaon, and for some reason it pounced directly at the three of them.

It even exposed its claws and made a move to tear its prey into pieces, its sharp claws piercing through the soil.

"Ugh!"

Xiaer suddenly let out a cry of pain, and when she came to her senses, she found herself fallen to the ground, with Ye Xi leaning in her arms.

"What's wrong, Ye Xi?"

Ye Xi didn't say anything, but immediately locked his eyes on Lucaon.

Charles also followed Ye Xi's gaze and looked at Lucaon, and was shocked to find that something was wrong with Lucaon at the moment.
