Chapter 242: 151: Counterkill Turing Duo! Meng Tuoluo Appears Again!_3
But this was also the best method Suo Lun could think of, the one with the highest chance of success.
Fortunately, everything had happened according to plan. All along the way, not only was Turing Duo tormenting Suo Lun, but her whip also frequently and unceremoniously lashed at the Lion-Tiger Beast, instilling in it a sense of hatred and a feeling of commiseration with Suo Lun.
Moreover, to curry favor with the beast’s heart, every time the Lion-Tiger Beast was beaten, Suo Lun would soothe it. When it was time to eat, he would also sneakily toss meat to it.
Finally, Suo Lun’s efforts along the journey paid off at the very last moment.
The only thing Suo Lun was uncertain about now was whether his sword had killed Turing Duo?
...
The Lion-Tiger Beast ran wildly, wildly, for several hours, not knowing how many hundreds of miles it had covered, until it ventured deep into the vast mountain range, feeling secure only upon entering the mountains.
Then, feeling exhausted, it stopped in a cave, laying Suo Lun on the ground, and breathing heavily.
Soon, it felt ravenous, unable to find any food nearby.
Seeing Suo Lun still unconscious on the ground, it couldn’t help but drool at the thought—this... this was meat too, should it just eat him up?
But... it had never eaten a human before. Its mistress had always warned it, absolutely, absolutely not to eat or bite humans.
Besides, this man had been quite good to it along the way. If not for him, it wouldn’t have been able to escape from that female fiend.
In the end, despite drooling profusely, the Lion-Tiger Beast decided not to eat Suo Lun and mustered the courage to leave the cave to hunt.
...
After an unknown length of time, Suo Lun awoke in agony, feeling an intense burning pain in his throat. When he touched his neck, it was already swollen and red.
At that moment, the Lion-Tiger Beast, relishing its meal by his side, saw Suo Lun wake up and directly tossed him a large chunk of meat.
"Thank you, little obedient one," said Suo Lun, who couldn’t eat at the moment but still stroked the head of the Lion-Tiger Beast with his hand.
He then struggled to leave the cave, trying to figure out where he was.
Outside the cave, seeing the refined wilderness in the distance, Suo Lun confirmed that he was in the vast mountain range.
Suo Lun calculated his approximate location in his mind, likely on the western side of the vast mountains. If nothing was amiss, Black Widow Meng Tuoluo’s Serpent Tribe should be no more than five hundred miles from him.
Moreover, the Serpent Tribe was full of snake totems and shouldn’t be that hard to find.
Only, several months ago, Meng Tuoluo’s tribe had relocated, but they shouldn’t have left without a trace; there should be one or two people left behind.
Unfortunately, he had been stripped of everything, so the snake mask she had given him was gone as well.
Suo Lun first found a water source, took several gulps to moisten his throat.
Then, he found some colored wild fruits and drew the mark of the Serpent Tribe on his forehead, hoping to avoid immediate hostility from them upon sight.
After doing all this, Suo Lun returned to the cave and patted the Lion-Tiger Beast, saying, "Let’s go, I’ll take you to a fun place."
Then, he climbed onto the back of the Lion-Tiger Beast.
The Lion-Tiger Beast finished the last of the meat in one bite, bursting with energy as it dashed out of the cave. Under Suo Lun’s direction, it ran eastward along the mountain range.
...
Two days later, Suo Lun finally found the Serpent Tribe.
However, at this time, the place was completely deserted, not a soul in sight; Black Widow Meng Tuoluo had long ago led her whole tribe over the vast mountains and relocated to the Barbarian Domain.
Not even a single person was left to keep watch.
The red "happiness" characters on the walls, which had been there since the time he and Meng Tuoluo had held their wedding ceremony, had all faded away by now.
Walking into the bridal chamber that once was, the bed was still there. Even the quilts and the mosquito net were still there, but they were now dusty and worn.
Time had passed so quickly. The visions of the wedding ceremony with Meng Tuoluo felt as if they had happened just yesterday, but several months had gone by.
Suo Lun sat on the dusty bed and comfortably lay down.
He would rest here tonight, and tomorrow, he would continue to search for Meng Tuoluo’s whereabouts.
He had to find Meng Tuoluo first before he could delve deeper into the Barbarian Domain; otherwise, he was certain to die without a doubt.
Lying on the soft bed, surrounded by silence, the Lion-Tiger Beast grew hungry and ran out to hunt. It would return on its own later.
Suo Lun closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
He didn’t know how long he had slept when suddenly, footsteps sounded from outside, and Suo Lun woke up instantly.
Had the people from the Serpent Tribe returned? Suo Lun completely hid himself beneath the quilt.
"In the past, we didn’t dare to kill people from the Serpent Tribe, but now we hunt them specifically because their heads are worth a fortune," one man’s voice rang out. "It seems that Black Widow Meng Tuoluo isn’t that frightening after all; hundreds from the Serpent Tribe have been killed, and she hasn’t sought revenge."
Zhi Li and Zhi Ning indeed had made their move, shattering the myth of Black Widow Meng Tuoluo and even raising the bounty on the heads of Serpent Tribe members. It seemed that many of Meng Tuoluo’s people had been killed in the past few months.
"It’s a pity that most of the Serpent Tribe has migrated south and become increasingly difficult to hunt," another man said. "Today, we came up empty-handed."
"Let’s go, let’s go. The wedding ceremony starts tomorrow night, and the young master will be angry if we’re late," another man said.
"Why would he be angry?" the first man replied. "He’s about to marry a woman as beautiful as a fairy. He must be waking up laughing from his dreams."
"Exactly, exactly. Such a celestial woman she is, with that face, those eyes, and that figure. I’d be willing to lose ten years of my life for just one night with her. Meng Yiyi, just the name itself is enchanting!"
Meng Yiyi?
Suo Lun was taken aback by the name, and then joy filled his heart.
Obviously, this Meng Yiyi was none other than Black Widow Meng Tuoluo. She had struck again, preparing to get married and then enact the drama of killing the groom.
The group of men soon left.
...
Half an hour later, the Lion-Tiger Beast returned from the hunt.
Suo Lun rode the Lion-Tiger Beast down the great mountain and came to the plains at its base. After traveling nearly a hundred li, he saw a castle.
At this time, the castle was festooned with lights and decorations, filled with the sounds of music and cheer, clearly in the midst of wedding festivities.
"Heilie Castle!" Suo Lun looked up at the name of the castle, then pondered how to sneak inside.
"Look at the bride, the bride is coming out! Truly like a fairy!" Suddenly someone pointed towards the highest part of the castle.
Indeed, on the top floor balcony of the castle, a woman with a graceful figure stood against the wind, supremely beautiful and enchanting.
Despite the change in her face, Suo Lun recognized her at first glance; she was Black Widow Meng Tuoluo!
