The World of Beasts: Snake, I am the mother of all dragons

Chapter 283: The Chief of the Vulture Clan, Dugu Ran

He fell into deep thought and began to re-examine the concept of good and evil that he had always believed in. Bai Luoluo's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in his heart.

There was a hint of struggle and pain in Ling Yunxiao's eyes, and there was a fierce battle in his heart.

After a long moment, he slowly spoke, his voice low and suppressed: "This is different. I have the blood of a ferocious beast flowing in my body. It is a symbol of sin and an uncontrollable instinct. Whenever my emotions fluctuate, I can feel it surging within me, as if it wants to devour me."

He trembled slightly, and subconsciously clenched his hands, as if this could suppress the power in his body that frightened him.

Bai Luoluo, however, didn't flinch. She stared straight at Ling Yunxiao and said something that struck her heart, "What about Conis? Isn't his situation different from yours? And what about the child in my belly? Aren't they also facing the issue of their bloodline?"

"But I firmly believe that no one is born evil. Everything is determined by human nature. Bloodline may have an impact, but what truly determines a person's goodness or evil is their choices and actions."

Her voice was firm and powerful, and every word she said was like a heavy hammer, knocking on Ling Yunxiao's inner defenses.

"Aren't you working hard for this, too? Why are you so pessimistic? Are you lacking confidence in yourself?"

At this moment, Conis, who happened to arrive, heard everything clearly.

His heart suddenly trembled, his steps paused, and he involuntarily made a slight unusual sound. This subtle sound was particularly abrupt in the relatively quiet space, and quickly attracted the attention of Bai Luoluo and Ling Yunxiao, interrupting their heated conversation.

Without giving it any time to think, Cornis walked straight towards them.

Under Bai Luoluo's surprised gaze, he walked a few steps to Bai Luoluo, his expression anxious. He tightly grasped Bai Luoluo's shoulders with both hands and asked anxiously, "Luoluo, what's wrong with your body?"

His eyes were full of worry, and he wanted to go back to the Jin family immediately and pull Amber out to give her a good lesson. In his opinion, in just three days, Amber had failed to protect Bai Luoluo and let her get hurt, which was unforgivable.

Bai Luoluo sighed helplessly and told Conis the whole story.

After hearing this, Conis's brows were tightly knitted into the shape of a "川" character. He never imagined that the situation would develop to such a serious level.

Just at this moment, Ling Xi and the old patriarch Dugu Ran finished their discussion and walked out of the room together.

The moment they went out, the eyes of several groups of people met in the air and looked at each other. For a moment, a subtle and complex atmosphere filled the air.

Ling Xi had a look of apology on his face. He bowed slightly and said to Dugu Ran, "I'm so sorry, Patriarch Dugu, it seems I have some urgent matters to attend to. I can't entertain you properly any longer."

Dugu Ran wore a gentle smile on his face, waved his hand understandingly, and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Master Wu Ji is so busy, I should go back."

Having said that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

However, the moment he turned around, his eyes accidentally swept over Ling Yunxiao. He paused, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He looked at Ling Yunxiao meaningfully.

He thought to himself, "Is that child really my lost grandson? But he is also the descendant of a ferocious beast..."

Thinking of this, Dugu Ran's hatred for the ferocious beast suddenly increased a bit.

Over the years, the Dugu family has been full of loyal heroes in order to protect the Beast City.

Countless members of the tribe died in the battle with the ferocious beasts, and most of those left are old, weak and sick.

Even so, they never had the thought of retreating and continued to fight resolutely.

They had only one belief in their hearts, and that was to hold on to the last line of defense of the Beast City. Even if it cost them their lives, they would never let the orcs within the borders of the Beast City suffer from the ravages of the ferocious beasts.

However, Dugu Ran never imagined that their Dugu family would have such an outstanding descendant.

The appearance of Ling Yunxiao was like a ray of light shining into the gradually declining history of the Dugu family. Their Dugu family also had an outstanding wizard descendant, but this light was inextricably linked to the ferocious beast, which made Dugu Ran feel mixed emotions.

He looked at Ling Yunxiao deeply, then turned around and left with steady steps. His back looked particularly long in the sunlight.

Dugu Ran paced slowly, sorting out every detail of his conversation with Ling Xi in his mind.

He came here this time to solve the recent case of ferocious beasts attacking people in Beast City, which caused a lot of uproar and panic among the people.

However, I didn’t expect that the blood-colored vulture three days ago was actually Ling Yunxiao.

If that's the case, then the beast that attacked people must be someone else.

Dugu Ran's eyes suddenly became sharp. He keenly realized that this was no accident. It was most likely that someone had carefully planned and done it on purpose. The purpose was to cleverly divert everyone's attention so that he could carry out his ulterior motives in secret.

The first suspect that came to his mind was Lie Xiaotian.

After all, when it comes to the beneficiary, it is undoubtedly the city lord Lie Xiaotian, who has been at the center of controversy recently.

However, based on his understanding of Lie Xiaotian, although the other party's style of doing things is tough and his methods are sometimes quite cruel, he still has his own considerations when it comes to the overall situation.

At this critical moment, a tide of ferocious beasts is about to surge in, and the entire Beast City is facing enormous external pressure.

Under such circumstances, Lie Xiaotian had no reason to lose his composure and deliberately create chaos, causing the Beast City to be in internal and external troubles. This would be of no benefit to him in consolidating his own rule and resisting the tide of ferocious beasts. Instead, it might put him in an irretrievable situation.

After excluding Lie Xiaotian, Dugu Ran's thoughts involuntarily turned to the old subordinates of Shadow Wolf.

These people have been dissatisfied with the current situation in Beast City since the death of the previous Wolf King. They had previously robbed the dungeon, injured the guards and fled out of the city. All these actions showed that their hostility towards Lie Xiaotian has never dissipated.

Could it be that they carefully planned this series of attacks by ferocious beasts in order to take revenge?

The purpose is to cause panic in Beast City, disrupt Lie Xiaotian's ruling order, and even weaken Beast City's defenses, so that they can take advantage of the future chaos and realize their ulterior ambitions?

Thinking of this, Dugu Ran's brows were tightly twisted into the shape of a "chuan" character, and his eyes were full of worry and anger.

If it was really done by Shadow Wolf's former subordinates, he snorted inwardly, with a hint of disdain on his face.

After all, when the old wolf king was alive, he and the Dugu family were old neighbors who helped each other and had a deep friendship.

If these so-called descendants of the Wolf King were really doing something harmful to the Beast City for their own selfish interests, it would be truly despicable to him.

But at this moment, he had no time to indulge in anger and emotion.

He must act immediately, allowing his old bones, which have been tempered by the years, to once again exert their last bit of energy, and go all out to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and restore peace to the Beast City.

Otherwise, everyone would have to walk on thin ice when fighting against the tide of ferocious beasts.
