Chapter 158: Sudden Change
The Howling Moon Celestial Wolf was covered in blood. Even so, it did not give up. Its red blood soaked its silver-white fur, and even its icy-blue pupils were covered in blood. It was stubborn and unyielding.
Perhaps it was because the scene was too tragic, or perhaps it was because the beast’s eyes were brutal and b.l.o.o.d.y, the crowd’s enthusiasm for bidding had reduced.
“Although this Howling Moon Celestial Wolf is really rare, it seems that it is too wild and difficult to tame. Who knows how much trouble will cause when the contract is signed.”
“Exactly. If it suddenly jumps up and hurts someone when the contract is signed, I’m afraid that won’t be so easy to resolve.”
The crowd was discussing animatedly. Their words were filled with fear and worry towards The Howling Moon Celestial Wolf.
A young master was dressed in a brocade robe. Not only did he look gorgeous, but the accessories on his body were also all extremely precious spiritual artifacts. It was obvious that he came from an extraordinary family. His eyes were filled with contempt, and his aura was overbearing.
“You guys are just a little too cowardly. No matter how powerful the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf is, he’s just an animal. Since he’s an animal, he can be tamed by others. If he’s in my hands, he definitely won’t be able to cause any troubles.”
Then, he made a bid of three million. His gaze fell on the cage, and he was determined to get Howling Moon Celestial Wolf.
At this moment, the price had soared all the way to five million crystals. Howling Moon Celestial Wolf looked at the crowd anxiously, as if it already knew what its fate was going to be. He rammed the cage even harder.
Lin Bai saw the unwillingness in its eyes and the desire for freedom. Even though it was covered in wounds, and even its limbs were a little unsteady, it still didn’t give up. He could not help but feel pity in his heart.
It was a pity that he did not have that many crystals in his hands.
“Ten million!”
No one knew who said it, but the whole place was silent. This astronomical figure shocked everyone so much that their eyes widened. Ten million crystals were enough for more than a hundred ordinary cultivators to live their lives without any worry, and it was used here only to buy a pet beast.
The big spender was the brocade-robed young master who had just opened his mouth. When Jin Daya heard this figure, he was so excited that he could not speak, “This young master has offered ten million crystals. Is there anyone offering higher than him? If there isn’t, the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf will belong to this young master.”
He shouted several times, but no one answered. There were a few people who hesitated. Although Howling Moon Celestial Wolves were rare, spending so much was a bit too wasteful.
In addition, the embroidered-robed young master had a plan in mind. It was clear that he had a backup plan. This was not all he had. They might not necessarily be able to win the bidding. After considering the situation, everyone chose to give up and did not raise the price.
Although Jin Daya also felt that it was a pity, it was beyond of his expectations that he was able to earn so many crystals. He earned big this time. Just as he was about to announce the price, the cage behind him started to shake.
Everyone’s bids were hot, and the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf was not idle either. It kept hitting the cage with its head and body. The originally indestructible cage actually changed a little.
A spider web-like crack appeared on the railing, and then it rapidly expanded.
“Alright, then let us congratulate this young master –”
Before Jin Daya could finish his words, he heard a roar, and the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf actually broke out of the cage and jumped out of it.
Its huge claws struck a deep ravine on the ground, and left an incomparably sharp claw mark. Even without spirit energy, the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf’s strength could not be underestimated.
Jin Daya seemed to be shocked by this huge change. The crowd that was originally watching dispersed in a hubbub, afraid of being attacked by the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf.
“Don’t run, it doesn’t have spiritual power. It can’t cause any harm!”
Jin Daya hurriedly shouted at the crowd. However, hearing his voice, the crowd ran even faster. After all, Jin Daya had said the same thing just now. Howling Moon Celestial Wolf couldn’t run out, but it still ran out now.
Howling Moon Celestial Wolf’s beast eyes stared at Jin Daya. It seemed to know who was the culprit that had caused it to become like this. Gritting its teeth, it pounced towards Jin Daya.
It opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth, but Jin Daya showed no fear. Instead, he was furious. “You blind thing, you almost ruined my business.”
After saying that, spiritual power turned into a rope and bound Howling Moon Celestial Wolf tightly. At the same time, he waved his hand, and a whip surrounded by lightning appeared in his hand and whipped Howling Moon Celestial Wolf’s body.
However, when it landed on Howling Moon Celestial Wolf’s head, the whip actually couldn’t go further. It turned out that Howling Moon Celestial Wolf was biting on the whip tightly. Its ice-cold beast eyes looked at Jin Daya, and he couldn’t help but s.h.i.+ver.
As if he didn’t expect that he would actually be frightened by a demonic beast, Jin Daya flew into a rage out of humiliation. He increased the output of his spiritual power, fixing the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf’s four limbs on the ground, and las.h.i.+ng out with the whip.
In the end, its spiritual power was completely sealed. This time, the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf was unable to break free. Jin Daya was extremely ruthless. With one whip, its skin split open, and blood-colored flowers bloomed on its silver fur. However, it did not even make a sound. Its beast eyes just became colder and colder.
The good event was almost ruined by the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf. Jin Daya did not show any mercy and continued to lash out with his whip. “Let me see just how hard your bones are!”
Howling Moon Celestial Wolf’s skin and flesh was torn. Lin Bai could not stand it and stopped his whip. “Enough is enough.”
Jin Daya was still angry. He looked at Lin Bai’s clothes and saw that he did not look like he was rich. He said rudely, “I’m teaching my own demonic beast a lesson. Who asked you to mind your someone else’s business!”
