Chapter 93 The Realm of Nitwits

Lili's evolution was even more rapid than expected. From the appearance of strange phenomena to the completion of her transformation, it only took a few minutes, but this process was still impressive enough: a large area with a radius of one hundred meters was actually carved into a bowl shape by the wind pressure generated during her transformation. All the soil and rocks within the area were reduced to dust. After the most violent shockwave ended, Lili had transformed into a giant beast with a body length of seven or eight meters and a height of more than three meters. That was even bigger than Xia Li—judging from the size alone, she was as mighty as Izhaks when he first descended. But it seemed that only her size was impressive.

Vivian craned her neck and watched for a long time, and only after hearing a "Awoo—Woof" did she finally confirm: "It really is a husky."

"Stop fooling around, we're handling serious matters here." Hao Ren's first reaction was, of course, disbelief. He didn't take the words seriously at all, but instead thought that Vivian was seizing the opportunity to mock that goofy werewolf again. And frankly, he thought that the giant canine animal in the pit was a wolf, judging from its size and aura. Although the lines of its face were slightly softer… but look at those murderous eyes, those triangular upright ears, those sharp teeth… it looked like a wolf no matter how you looked at it.

It was just that last "Woof" that was a bit hard to understand.

"I'm not fooling around," Vivian glanced at Hao Ren. "Although huskies look a lot like wolves, you can still tell the difference if you look closely. I've been dealing with werewolves for thousands of years, and I've personally witnessed how some wolves evolved into various dogs. Do you think I wouldn't be able to tell?"

Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and only then did he notice that Vivian's face was not joking at all. The vampire girl was unusually serious, completely stating facts, which made him feel unreal all over: "...You're saying... this is a husky?!"

Vivian nodded vigorously, wishing she could shake her head into afterimages.

Hao Ren was dumbfounded, slowly turning his head to look at Lili. The huge "wolf"-shaped beast was still looking up at the moon, acting crazy, howling and barking randomly. Hao Ren felt that the amount of information was so great that he couldn't think straight, so he could only hug his head and slowly squat down: "Don't say anything, let me sort this out..."

But no matter how he sorted it out, the truth was already in front of him. This was not a problem that could be overcome with the four words "unshakable worldview." He had to face a shocking truth that came crashing down on him: Lili revealed her true form after fully transforming into a beast, and it was a husky…

A husky, ladies and gentlemen, brothers and sisters! A husky! At this moment, even the author doesn't believe his own keyboard anymore. How can Hao Ren believe all this?

But whether he believes it or not, Lili seemed to be quite satisfied. After entering the beast form, this goofy girl felt a long-lost sense of comfort. The power and instincts that were usually suppressed were released all at once, making her howl at the moon for several minutes. Then, she noticed the little friends standing on the edge of the pit, and immediately ran over happily on all fours—you can imagine what it's like for a husky that is seven or eight meters long to run happily. Anyway, Hao Ren was awakened by a mild earthquake. He recovered from his worldview collapsing and looked up to see a huge, pointed snout full of sharp teeth hanging down towards him. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat: "...Wait! Lili, what are you doing! You promised to stay conscious the whole time..."

"She just wants to lick you." Vivian flew nimbly to the side, leaving a very irresponsible sentence. Izhaks ran even faster. The great demon teleported a hundred meters away as soon as he saw that things were not right.

"Lick m..." Hao Ren had just said a few words when he felt a warm tongue descending from the sky and smashing into him. He felt as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding sports car. If it weren't for his enhanced body, he probably would have had half his ribs broken by this lick. Lili's tongue even forced out Hao Ren's rigid shield. Hao Ren found that semi-transparent light membranes were shining all over his body: this layer of light membrane prevented him from being accidentally torn in half by Lili, but it failed to save his new clothes.

By the time Vivian and Izhaks, those two heartless guys, ran over to save the day, Hao Ren looked as if he had just been bombed in the Middle East. Three-fifths of the fabric on his body was in Lili's stomach...

"You didn't get covered in saliva, did you?" Vivian asked, seemingly concerned, but she quickly discovered that there was a layer of isolating, semi-transparent light membrane on Hao Ren's body that blocked Lili's saliva offensive, so she became very interested in this film. "Hey, is this the rigid shield you were talking about? Can I hit it a couple of times to try it out?"

"Can you find me some clothes first?" Hao Ren looked down at his tattered clothes, which almost exposed him, and tears almost came down. "Also, does anyone have a way to communicate with Lili? Now she can only say woof besides awoo..."

Where could Vivian find clothes for Hao Ren at this time? In the end, Izhaks had no choice but to take off his coat and put it on Hao Ren. This clothing was just a vest on Izhaks, but Hao Ren felt like he was wearing a cloak. At this moment, Lili was still in an excited state and hadn't calmed down. She had no idea how much trouble she had brought to the little partners below, but just tilted her head and watched with interest as Vivian flew around her head. She twisted her neck back and forth like a restless puppy… a big dog. Occasionally, she would stretch her neck and try to lick Hao Ren again, but the latter was much more alert this time and ran away without hesitation as soon as possible—after all, the clothes he was wearing now were borrowed.

Vivian flew around Lili's head for a long time and dared to get closer only after confirming that the big dog wouldn't bite, raising her voice to communicate with the latter: "Big dog! Can you hear me?!"

Lili's ears twitched, sensitively turning towards Vivian's direction. Then she nodded vigorously, panting while nodding, and her tail was wagging so hard that it almost stirred up dust. Seeing this scene, Hao Ren could only accept his fate even if he didn't want to believe it: this girl he had been raising as a werewolf for a month was actually a husky spirit...

How could a real wolf wag its tail like that!

Vivian confirmed that Lili could understand human speech and felt a little relieved. Then she asked loudly, "Then can you talk?!"

Lili opened her mouth: "Awoo...?"

"She can hear but can't speak, this goofball... she's even more useless than before after evolving," Vivian flapped her wings and landed from mid-air, her face full of mixed amusement and exasperation. "I was nervous for three whole days before, afraid that she would become powerful after evolving..."

"I feel like she is indeed more powerful than before." Izhaks opened his mouth from the side. There were no huskies in the great demon's world, and he was the only one on the scene who couldn't understand why Hao Ren and Vivian were reacting so strongly.

"...This has nothing to do with combat power," Hao Ren's tone was as strange as it could be. "A husky is a benchmark—of the goofy world."

A streak of blue light flew quickly from not far away. The data terminal, which had been thrown near Lili as a detector (or a mine-clearer?), returned to Hao Ren. This unlucky PDA had just faced the shockwave head-on and was buried several meters deep underground, but now it didn't have a single scratch, making people sigh that it was indeed a high-tech product from the Protoss. The data terminal didn't even bother to complain at this moment, and it hovered rapidly around Hao Ren: "What's going on, what's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be a werewolf returning to its ancestors? How did it become an oversized husky?"

Even the data terminal said so, so Lili's true form was already a certainty—this PDA has a biological scanning function.

After Lili transformed into her beast form, it seemed that even her attention level returned to the husky level. She was so close to Hao Ren and the others, but she didn't pay any attention to what her little friends were saying. Soon, this goofy girl's focus was on other things. She started wandering around leisurely, running to pick up a "small stone" (as big as a millstone) and throwing it herself and picking it up herself, or finding a place to quickly dig a big hole with her front paws, not knowing what she was planning to do, and most of the time she was just running around aimlessly. It was conceivable what kind of commotion this behemoth-level giant beast would make when it ran, but the most incongruous thing was that she was wagging her tail while running...

This innocent and naive appearance was simply unbearable to look at. Hao Ren felt that he wouldn't dare to face dictionaries in his life, let alone movies and TV shows...
