Chapter 315 - The Wingman
Chapter 315 - The Wingman
Tang Shaoyang was reading the objective screen. It was another survival but he only had his body and the things he brought with him to survive. There would be no fort, city, or even people to help him.
As he read the objective, it reminded him of a tv show. The show was about a man and the wildlife where the man tried to survive in the no-man forest.
"Huh!? This is not that different from the tv show I watched before," He muttered in a low voice after reading the objective screen. The difference was that the man in the tv show just needed to avoid the dangerous insect and poisonous snake while he had to fend himself against the monster and the beast that would come for him.
"This should be easy," Tang Shaoyang was not underestimating the portal difficulty or something, but so far, no beast or monster could be a threat for him. Even before he got his bloodline and second class; the monster and the beast posed no threat to him. Now, he felt too overpowered for this survival game, unless the system truly sent a dragon after him.
Tang Shaoyang raised his head, he was about to look for a direction where he should go. By then, he heard a gasp of surprise from the side. He turned toward the voice and found Li Na was staring at him.
"Oh, so it\'s a group of two now," he just realized there was someone around him. Earlier he had checked the surroundings, he was alone. So he thought it was a solo survival, "Yo, it seems we will stick around for forty days," he raised his hand to greet the girl. It was as if he was greeting his bro instead of a girl.
\'Li Na! This is your chance, you can\'t mess up again. This is a heaven-sent chance for you to make a move. This is the time!\' She encouraged herself.
However, as soon as she met his gaze, she lowered her head shyly. She kept telling herself to be bolder and brave, but in the needed moment, she cowered.
Tang Shaoyang took that as she greeted him back with a nod. He did not mind that and walked closer to the girl, "So where should we go?" He asked the girl instead of taking the lead.
They were in the middle of a vast grass field, clueless where the north or south was, and so he decided to believe in the girl\'s intuition. However, asking the girl did not help him at all.
"I don\'t know…" Li Na replied in a low voice. There were so many things inside her head now. She tried to not speak too much lest she annoyed him. She did not want to ruin her image in front of him. Those thoughts caused her to get nervous around as she was being self-conscious now.
"Mnnn," he hummed while looking around once again. Li Na flinched, thinking he might think badly about her because of her response. The main reason for her to be feeling like this was that she felt inferior.
She had seen Tang Shaoyang\'s seven women. Everyone was a unique beauty with a big asset while she had normal assets. She looked down at her chest, it was not small but could not be compared to Tang Shaoyang\'s seven women.
Meanwhile, the man had no clue what was in the girl\'s mind. He simply looked around, trying to find the difference between the four directions. But again, it was just a grass field, he hardly found any differences.
Even with his [Dragon Eyes], the density of the mana was the same. It was not rich but it was not abundant either. Using [Spirit Eyes] did not help him too.
"Let\'s go here!" Tang Shaoyang pointed toward the right. He took the direction based on his good feeling. Li Na nodded as she followed him from behind.
"Don\'t you want to summon Moon first? I mean the monster and the beast will come at us, or is it do you want to fight by yourself?" He asked Li Na as they walked in the right direction. So far it was safe, but because of the special condition, they might encounter many annoying monsters and beasts on the way.
"Ah, right!?" With a slightly flustered reaction, she summoned Moon. A big magic circle formed on the ground and Moon appeared on top of it.
The giant bear immediately ran to his master. He had his snout rubbed against her cheek gently. Thanks to Moon, her tensed shoulders relaxed a little more, and she was more comfortable with her companion around.
Tang Shaoyang stood on the side, looking at the white bear. The blueish stripe was getting brighter and deeper color-wise, and his size had increased since the last time he saw Moon. The noticeable change was that he found another horn on top of the fifty centimeters spiral horn.
The second horn was curved upward like a blade and the crescent mark was getting bigger too. He noticed the crescent mark was going further to his cheek area. His eyes had changed too, it was just like there was a flame in it. Similar to Kairu\'s eyes, but Moon\'s eyes were blue.
Five meters tall with his all fours on the ground, and it might be doubled if Moon was standing with his hind legs. The white fur had turned even whiter and pure, giving off the mystical vibe just its name.
"Has he evolved again?" He stroked Moon\'s smooth fur and asked Li Na. When it came to Moon, Li Na showed a happy smile, "Yes, he is now Stage-6. The war in my fifth portal helped him to meet the condition quickly," she was no longer nervous with Moon\'s presence.
Moon stood with his hind legs, looking down at Tang Shaoyang who was not even two meters tall. He was standing proudly for his achievement and was no longer afraid of the man in front of him until he met with Tang Shaoyang\'s purple eyes.
Moon froze a moment when their gazes met before he quickly came down. The white bear laid down, letting the man pet him.
\'It\'s a bad idea to challenge this human male. Having him as an ally is the best choice,\' the bear thought to himself before glancing toward his master.
—Go for it, Master! You have to capture this man\'s heart. I will be a great wingman for you.
Moon sent his words through their connection causing Li Na to giggle.
"What\'s wrong?" Tang Shaoyang looked toward the girl. She was quiet before, so he was surprised to hear her giggle all of sudden, "Nothing, Moon just said something funny."
Those words were not supposed to come from the beast. So when she heard that from Moon, she could not help but giggle.
"I see," Tang Shaoyang nodded and stroked the fur again, "You have been doing a great job, not only you protect your Master well but you can also make her happy," he praised the bear.
For some reason, Moon likes the praise and wanted more praise. He let the man pet him while the bear closed his eyes to enjoy the moment.
"Since you have evolved, do you want to have a race with me?" Tang Shaoyang pointed toward a direction, "We will race until we meet something."
The something in his mouth could be a new place aside from the grass field. It could be monsters or beasts too. He did not care, he just wanted to meet something else.
—Master, hop on. I will show him the true prowess of this mighty true male bear.
"What is he saying?" Tang Shaoyang could tell that Moon was talking to Li Na. So he asked the girl what the bear said to her.
"He says yes to the race…" She was hesitating for a moment, "But are you sure about this race, Boss?" She was hesitating that she might cross the boundary from questioning his Boss\'s decision, but she mustered her courage and said it anyway. They might encounter a dangerous situation and not be prepared for it because of the race.
—You should not be concerned about that, Master. This human male is much stronger than me.
Then she heard Moon\'s voice in her head. She was surprised that Moon admitted it openly. The Mystical Bear never did this before. He would act haughty and mighty, and he would not admit someone stronger than him unless they fought.
It was the same before when Moon just evolved to stage-6. The bear acted cocky and challenged Zhang Mengyao. It was during their spare time that Zhang Mengyao fought the Mystical Bear. As a result, Moon was forced to take his loss after half an hour of intense fight. After that day, Moon did not dare to act cocky again in front of Zhang Mengyao. Yeah, Moon was having that kind of attitude.
So this surprised her that Moon recognized Tang Shaoyang\'s strength without a fight.
"We are looking into something, so it does not matter. We have to find a place for us to pass the night too, so running would be better," Tang Shaoyang waved his hand at the girl.
Li Na nodded her head as Moon immediately picked her up. He put her on his back and had all his four on the ground. Tang Shaoyang stood next to the two, making sure they had the same starting line.
"Ready?" He glanced at the bear, and the latter nodded his head, "Go!" The bear and the man dashed forward with their maximum speed.
