Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Xuan Long’s Wrath

Xuan Long finally reached the bottom of the deep valley after searching desperately for so long. His massive emerald body moved through the darkness while his cold eyes scanned every corner sharply. The valley was filled with broken rocks, fallen trees, and the heavy scent of blood.

But there was still no sign of Shi Feng.

His heart became heavier.

"Shi Feng!"

A low growl escaped from his throat, but only silence answered him.

Suddenly...

A faint rustling sound came from deeper inside the valley.

Xuan Long’s eyes narrowed instantly.

Without hesitation, his gigantic snake body shot toward that direction rapidly. The closer he got, the stronger a familiar scent entered his senses.

It was Shi Feng.

But mixed with it was an overwhelming metallic smell of blood.

Xuan Long’s pupils shrank violently.

Soon he finally arrived there, and the moment he saw the scene before him, even his breathing stopped for a second.

Shi Feng was lying motionless on the ground like a broken corpse.

His body was covered in blood from head to toe. A horrifying wound stretched across his abdomen so deeply that even flesh inside could almost be seen. Blood continued flowing endlessly from the injury. Even his head was badly injured and stained completely red.

At this moment, he no longer looked like the proud and powerful lion beastman. He looked like someone who had crawled out from hell.

If not for the faint familiar scent still lingering around him, Xuan Long would not even have recognized him immediately.

Xuan Long’s heart sank heavily.

"What the hell happened to you..."

His eyes darkened dangerously. Then immediately he looked around sharply again, trying to search for Su Qinglan’s scent.

But there was nothing. There was no trace of her, only Shi Feng. Xuan Long’s expression became uglier and uglier.

What about Hu Yan and Han Jue?

They still had not arrived.

Did something happen to them too?

His thoughts became chaotic instantly. He wanted to continue searching for Su Qinglan immediately, but when his gaze fell on Shi Feng’s dying body again, his movements froze.

He could not leave him here.

If he left now, Shi Feng would definitely die.

And if that happened...

Su Qinglan would never forgive herself.

Xuan Long closed his eyes briefly before immediately wrapping his giant snake tail carefully around Shi Feng.

He had already decided.

First, he would take Shi Feng back to Dragon Beast City and let the old healer preserve his life. Then he would immediately go search for Su Qinglan afterward.

And maybe...

If Shi Feng woke up before he left again, he could get clues about where Su Qinglan had been taken.

Xuan Long’s eyes became colder the more he thought about it. Whoever attacked Shi Feng was definitely not simple.

Shi Feng was already one of the strongest beastmen among Su Qinglan’s mates. He had already reached the eighth level.

Yet he was beaten into this condition.

Which meant the enemy was definitely above the eighth level. And from the traces around the cliff, it was obvious multiple people had ambushed him together.

Suddenly one name appeared in Xuan Long’s mind.

Rong Yanchen.

Instantly murderous intent exploded from his eyes.

"That bastard..."

His voice was filled with killing intent. He had already decided. Once Shi Feng survived, he would personally destroy Rong Yanchen’s territory and drag everything out from his mouth.

Soon, Xuan Long rapidly slithered back toward Dragon Beast City while carrying Shi Feng’s nearly dead body carefully.

The moment he approached the city walls, every beastman guarding nearby immediately froze in terror.

"The Snake Lord has returned!"

"But who is that..."

"Heavens..."

Everyone’s faces paled when they saw the bloody figure wrapped within Xuan Long’s giant emerald body.

More terrifying than that was Xuan Long himself. His aura had become unimaginably cold. The killing intent in his eyes was so heavy that no one even dared breathe loudly near him.

Every beastman instantly scrambled away, creating a wide, empty path before him without anyone daring to block his way.

Xuan Long ignored all of them completely as he rushed toward the city entrance.

But suddenly... His giant snake body froze for one second. A strange feeling suddenly spread through his entire body.

The surroundings felt too quiet and silent. Like the calm before a terrifying storm. Instantly every instinct inside Xuan Long screamed at him.

Run.

He has to escape immediately.

This is a trap.

His pupils narrowed sharply. He did not know why, but his instincts had never betrayed him before. Something was wrong. But then his gaze fell onto Shi Feng’s nearly lifeless body again.

His eyes darkened painfully. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

How could he run?

How could he abandon everyone here?

His cubs were here.

His family was here.

Even if danger truly waited ahead, he still had to face it. And Shi Feng desperately needed treatment now. Only that troublesome old healer could preserve his life temporarily.

So despite every instinct warning him to escape, Xuan Long still moved forward.

Then just as he entered deeper into the city...A piercing cry suddenly rang out. It was filled with agony and fear.

The sound was so sharp and heartbreaking that Xuan Long’s entire body stiffened instantly.

His giant tail drooped heavily.

Even Shi Feng’s unconscious body slipped from his coils and fell onto the ground with a thud.

But Xuan Long did not even notice. Because he recognized that cry immediately.

It was his cub. His Xiao San. The little cub was crying so hard that his voice had already become hoarse.

Not only fear, There was also pain in that cry and agony. As if something terrible was happening to him. As if someone was torturing him. It was his cubs wailing.

For one second, Xuan Long’s entire mind went blank.

Then...

BOOM!

A terrifying growl exploded from his mouth.

The entire area trembled violently from the pressure alone. Nearby wooden houses shook heavily like they would collapse at any second. Countless beastmen fell onto the ground trembling in fear.

Xuan Long’s emerald eyes instantly turned blood red. A murderous aura exploded from his body craily.

"WHO DARED HARM MY CHILD?!"

His furious roar shook the entire Dragon Beast City.
