The Way of Spiritual Journey

What is that? Li Lang felt incredulous and followed the gaze of the two beasts with shock.

Li Lang saw a clump of green plants growing on the cliff above the crooked tree, with a red fruit at the top of the plant. The bright red and emerald green of the plant made it an extraordinary sight to behold.

Could this be the legendary Heavenly Spirit Fruit? Growing silently for countless years, it only bears fruit once, yet it always attracts powerful spirit beasts to fight over it?

That's it, everything makes sense now. The two beasts lying on the ground were definitely after this fruit.

Alas, why bother? People are driven by wealth, beasts by food. The ancients were truly wise!

The facts of the case have been basically clarified, and the witnesses, animal testimonies, and physical evidence have all been presented in court. It's time to close the case.

Given the current situation, off-site mediation is no longer an option.

Moreover, the two beasts were barbaric, fighting in a public place, which seriously violated public order and good morals. They should have been punished, but given that the two beasts were already seriously injured and seemed to be dying, they were not pursued.

As for this evidence, it was originally ownerless. Since the parties involved are powerless to contest it, it should be left to a third-party witness for handling.

Pretty!

Having worked as a legal assistant in his previous life, Li Lang finished summarizing the closing statement in one breath, and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

After feeling refreshed, Li Lang realized something was wrong. Was he not following the proper procedure?

Well, special cases require special handling. The venue is simple and the facilities are incomplete, so we won't be too particular. Let's just do it this way.

At this moment, Li Lang smelled the exotic fragrance and felt comfortable all over. He became lightheaded and forgot that he was still hanging on the tree. He was completely immersed in his own inner drama and almost laughed out loud when he thought of the most exciting parts.

However, although the case has been closed, the matter is not over.

Just then, a sudden gust of wind swept in, making the crooked tree rustle loudly. Li Lang swayed wildly in the wind, his situation extremely precarious.

This sudden change brought Li Lang back to reality. In a panic, his legs kicked wildly, and he howled "Ah ah!" If he fell now, even if he didn't die, he would definitely become food for the two beasts, and then excrement in their stomachs.

"hiss!"

At this moment, since the wind has suddenly risen, something must have changed.

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the dying green python, and its mouth suddenly opened, a powerful suction force mixed with an unparalleled stench engulfing Li Lang.

Of course, that's not entirely accurate. The accurate description is that it refers to the red berries clinging to the cliff face.

At this moment, Li Lang felt his body float away, and without any suspense, he was wrapped up and flew into the mouth of the green python.

This should be the Green Python's last stand. The red fruit is a spiritual fruit of heaven and earth, and it is the obsession of its entire life. It has guarded it for nearly a hundred years, and even if it dies, it will not let anyone else pick the fruit.

"roar!"

Since the green python had made its final desperate attempt, the white wolf was naturally unwilling to fall behind. Both were heavily injured, so who wouldn't dare to take a gamble?

The white wolf did not show weakness; it had been preparing for this moment for a long time.

The white wolf roared, its hind legs stomping out as it hurtled forward, its entire body whistling as it charged away with the aura of a king descending from the mountains.

The white wolf moved without hesitation, its target clear: it charged straight at Li Lang with its menacing fangs raised.

Upon seeing this, Li Lang's heart skipped a beat, almost stopping, and he couldn't utter a sound from his wide-open mouth. This was truly the height of fear.

Li Lang was actually confused. Did these two beasts want to eat him? Of course not. They wanted to eat the red fruit. In their eyes, Li Lang was just a pile of shit blocking their way.

Li Lang was confused, but the Green Python was not. If the White Wolf were to reap the rewards of its final gamble, wouldn't that be an injustice?

Of course, whether or not it is permissible according to the laws of nature is no longer something the Azure Python has time to investigate; in any case, it cannot tolerate it.

The python's chain-like tail had been gathering power for a long time; it had been waiting for this moment.

"call!"

Its tail swept out horizontally, striking with the force of thunder. The white wolf shuddered, howled, and flew away.

This scene changed the situation on the field once again. Two Beasts Go Wild

With a sudden attack, the wind became turbulent, and Li Lang's body spun violently in mid-air.

"puff!"

Food shot into Li Lang's mouth before he could close it.

The force of this shot was beyond description. This thing seemed to treat the oral cavity as if it were nothing, shooting straight into the throat. Like a powerful crossbow, it tried to go further, but ultimately got stuck there.

Li Lang was struck so hard that he stopped breathing, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness, falling to the ground with a thud.

-----------

A blinding ray of sunlight shone directly on Li Lang's face, causing his eyelids to twitch and him to wake up.

The moment he opened his eyes, a pink tongue came into view and then licked him without warning.

"what!"

Li Lang was startled; the scream was quite loud. He instinctively swung his hand towards his face, only to grab a clump of fur.

"Waaah, waaah."

A pure white wolf cub was caught in Li Lang's hand. Its bright, dark eyes darted around, and it made soft, childlike whimpers.

What is this? No way!

Seeing this scene, Li Lang was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something, straightened up, sat up, and looked around in shock.

The first thing you see is a thick, green python lying on the ground, its body covered in wounds and lifeless. Beside the python lies a white wolf, also covered in injuries.

The white wolf's body was already immobile, but its eyes remained stubbornly open, staring unblinkingly at Li Lang.

Looking into those wolf-like eyes, Li Lang felt a chill run down his spine.

"Is this your offspring?" After a moment, Li Lang looked at the little wolf in his hand, then at the white wolf with its eyes wide open, feeling as if those eyes were trying to convey some message. So he tentatively asked.

The white wolf did not respond and made no move.

"You want me to spare its life?" Li Lang held up the little wolf in his hand and asked tentatively.

This time, Li Lang saw it clearly: there seemed to be a glimmer of tears in the white wolf's eyes.

Li Lang remained silent, thinking to himself, 'This is someone entrusting their child to another. But I'm a newcomer, we don't know each other, let alone have any connection. Can I really entrust him with this?'

"Okay, if it weren't for you, I might really be a pile of shit in the python's stomach by that last suck. Of course, you were probably after that red fruit too, and you didn't care about me at all, right?"

Li Lang looked at the white wolf, his heart filled with conflicting emotions.

Li Lang muttered to himself for a long time, but the white wolf remained motionless, its eyes wide open, staring straight at him.

The meaning was quite clear: Li Lang had failed to persuade it.

"Okay, I agree." In the end, Li Lang convinced himself. So, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

At this moment, the white wolf's eyelids finally closed, and it breathed its last.

Upon seeing this, Li Lang was stunned, his heart filled with mixed emotions. The idea that all things possess a spirit was truly not an empty phrase.
