Strangely, the sun had already set but Lea still did not return. Ian had also not come back. Even the three young ones and Burke, who would usually report back at this time, did not turn up…
The journey was once again delayed by these missing persons.
Gu Mengmeng could feel something was not quite right. Her heart was filled with anxiety.
“Hubby, should we go take a look,” Gu Mengmeng asked Elvis.
Elvis nodded and carried Gu Mengmeng in his arms.
He didn’t know what was going on with Ian, and he did not care about Burke and the three young ones. However, the failure of Lea to return presented a major problem.
With Lea’s clingy personality, even if he had fled after hearing Gu Mengmeng’s “but”, he wouldn’t have gone missing for a whole afternoon.
Lea would only leave Gu Mengmeng if he was dead or kidnapped.
Gu Mengmeng would be upset with either outcome.
That was why Elvis looked so grave. It was critical that he found Lea.
With this thought, Elvis morphed into his beast form and flung Gu Mengmeng onto his back.
Gu Mengmeng knew that Elvis’ sense of smell and hearing was extremely sensitive when he was in beast form. She kept quiet and just held onto Elvis’ back while he charged into the night.
Wind roared past her ears. It was now the warm season but Gu Mengmeng felt a chill.
Her fingers had turned pale and bloodless and felt icy-cold.
They galloped along the moon-soaked lands, as both Elvis and Gu Mengmeng reached out with all their senses to detect the slightest hint in the darkness.
When Elvis and Gu Mengmeng finally found Lea, they saw him drenched in blood, eyes blood-shot, with fangs and claws all drawn out. He looked very much like the nine-tailed fox in the comic “Naruto”, as if he was a malevolent specter who had just crawled out from hell. Lea appeared to have noticed Gu Mengmeng and Elvis, but he remained standing there staring back at them, unmoving.
Meanwhile, beside Lea was a gray wolf who had been completely butchered. It was a mess of flesh and blood with its four limbs all splayed out at awkward angles.
Gu Mengmeng was speechless from shock. She covered her mouth haplessly.
Elvis turned back into human form and shielded Gu Mengmeng with his body. Frowning with anger, he clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth. “Xiao Meng, I am sorry. I might need to do something which will make you sad.”
Before Gu Mengmeng could react, Elvis was already charging towards Lea.
Without hesitation, Elvis’ claws was aimed directly at Lea’s heart. But Lea seemed to have predicted that and ducked aside. At the same time, he opened his jaws and bit into Elvis’ arm.
Feeling the pain, Elvis tried to draw back his arm. He then used his other hand to smash viciously into the back of Lea’s neck.
Lea suddenly released his grip and Elvis’ palm landed on his own arm.
Bones shattered with a cracking sound. Elvis’ arm drooped down like a pendulum as he emitted an earth-shattering howl.
Lea pounced forward and bit Elvis’ throat. His gaze was full of ferocity and malevolence, as if he truly wanted him to die.
