Chapter 553 Father
Chapter 553 Father
"Didn't I want to be a werewolf? Why am I like this now?" Arugo's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief and unwillingness. He couldn't accept what was happening before his eyes, and his heart was filled with confusion and despair.
Yun, who was standing nearby, shrugged innocently and said, "I don't know either. I just wanted to help you maintain your human form, but who knew things would develop to this point."
Hearing this, Arugao became more depressed. He murmured to himself, "I am in this state now, life is worse than death..." His words revealed a deep sense of decadence.
At this moment, Yun suddenly pointed at Cindy Yalai not far away and suggested with a smile: "Oh? How about you just become like her?"
Arugo looked in the direction of Yun's finger, and his eyes fell on Sindyalai. She had a strange figure, and had two creepy tentacles. Arugo shuddered, and quickly retracted his gaze, looking at himself again. Although he had become a dark sorcerer at this moment, at least he still retained his human form. In comparison, Sindyalai's horrible appearance was really hard to look at.
"No, I don't want either of them!" Arugao refused without hesitation, shaking his head.
At this moment, a burst of noisy shouts suddenly came from downstairs - "Ah!" "Ah!" "What the hell is this?" "Oh my God, what happened to me?" Various screams came one after another, breaking the original calm.
"What on earth is going on?" Arugao stared at Yun in surprise, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement. He frowned and his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to get a reasonable explanation from Yun.
However, facing Arugao's questioning, Yun showed a nonchalant look. She shrugged lightly and said casually: "Don't look at me, I didn't do anything. Besides, the things you brought here are not just placed in this place." After saying that, she winked at Arugao mischievously.
Hearing this, Arugo suddenly became a little flustered. He stuttered and pointed downwards, his voice unconsciously rising a few degrees: "Then...then why did they...they become like this?" At this moment, Arugo completely lost his usual calmness and composure, and seemed to be at a loss.
Seeing this, Yun couldn't help but smile slightly, then he said slowly: "Huh, do you even need to ask? I told you before that a large number of werewolves will emerge here, and you will become the leader of one of them. So now, think about it, how did these werewolves come into being? Also, how did you become the werewolf leader while staying here all the time?" While speaking, Yun's eyes were always on Arugal, as if he wanted to see through his innermost thoughts.
After hearing what Yun said, Arugao's eyes widened and he looked down in disbelief. His face instantly turned as pale as paper, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. After a long while, he slowly turned his head and looked at Yun, and asked with a trembling voice: "Are you saying... that all this really happened because of the things I brought?"
Yun nodded and answered affirmatively: "Yes, it is just as you think. However, since things have developed to this point, there is not much point in investigating the cause. The important thing is how we should deal with the current situation."
At this moment, Arugao suddenly seemed to remember something, slapped his head hard, and said in annoyance: "Oh! But...but I didn't bring much energy, and it has basically been consumed here. How could it cause such a large-scale change? This is really unexpected!" At the end, his tone was full of deep self-blame.
"Hmph! Do you think I've already gone out? Why am I turning back?" Yun gave Arugao a disdainful look, as if mocking his ignorance and stupidity.
Arugao's lips trembled and he stammered, "He...they..." Suddenly, as if he remembered something important, his face turned pale and he looked at Yun with horror.
At this time, Yun nodded slightly, his tone still calm: "Yes, just as you thought in your heart, they were afraid that you would fail, so they did not hesitate to use more of that mysterious energy, and even temporarily sealed this place."
Although Yun said it lightly and calmly, these words were like a bolt from the blue to Arugo's ears, and he was stunned. He never expected that the outside world would take action so quickly just after he stepped into this place. Perhaps from the beginning, those people did not believe that he could successfully complete the task, and the role he played was just to contain Yun. When Arugo thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and secretly cursed in his heart: "They are really a group of untrustworthy people! Fortunately, I listened to them before, but I didn't expect that I would be used as a dispensable pawn in the end."
The endless screams from below were becoming more and more shrill and frequent, as if each one was piercing straight into Arugao's heart, making him feel like his heart was being torn by a knife and he could hardly bear it any longer.
"Is there really no way to save these poor people?" Arugao asked with a sad face, his eyes full of pity and concern for those who are suffering. However, Yun on the side remained silent, just slowly spread his hands, and then shrugged helplessly, indicating that he was helpless in this matter.
Arugao gritted his teeth, his face terribly gloomy, and walked out of the room filled with miserable cries with heavy and slow steps. Not long after he walked, he saw many soldiers lying in a mess on the ground not far ahead, their bodies twisted into a ball. These soldiers were rolling and wailing on the cold and hard ground, and their appearance was horrible.
Alu Gaoqiang suppressed the surging grief in his heart, and moved his legs with difficulty, step by step approaching one of the soldiers lying on the ground. When he finally got close, he saw that the soldier's face was hideous due to extreme pain, his eyes were closed, and he made unclear groans from time to time.
Arugo stretched out his hands tremblingly and gently stroked the soldier's cheek. Perhaps he felt someone touching him, and the soldier, who had originally closed his eyes, slightly opened his eyes. When he saw clearly that the person in front of him was the skinny Arugo, he couldn't help but tremble with fear, and his face, which was originally slightly pale due to the severe pain, instantly became even paler. But then, a piercing pain came again, making the soldier have no time to care about anything else, and subconsciously reached out to grab Arugo.
"Child, you must hold on!" Arugo hugged the young soldier tightly, trying to give him some comfort and strength with his warm embrace, and at the same time hoping that this could slightly alleviate the great pain he was enduring. However, looking around, all he could see were soldiers lying on the ground groaning, each of them curled up in agony, forming a heartbreaking and tragic picture. At this moment, Arugo deeply felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness gradually swallowing him up...
"Lord Arugo...are we...re we really going to die like this?" The soldier opened his eyes with difficulty and asked in a voice so weak that it seemed like it would break at any moment. His face was as pale as paper, and his breath became extremely weak, as if every word he spoke consumed all the remaining strength in his body.
"No... No, absolutely not!" Arugao's face was full of fear and helplessness. He stared at the seriously injured soldier in front of him and kept muttering to himself, as if he was comforting the other person, or more like hypnotizing himself.
"But...but my body hurts so much..." The soldier said, and couldn't help but groan in pain. His body was shaking constantly, and he covered the wound with both hands, trying to relieve some of the pain, but it was obviously all in vain.
"Ah! You damned fellows! Ahhhh!" Arugo suddenly raised his head and roared loudly to the sky, his roar filled with endless grief and despair. He originally thought that he could control the situation and protect these young and fresh lives. He could calmly accept that these soldiers died heroically on the battlefield, or were brutally killed by the enemy. Even if they only became cannon fodder to lure the enemy into the trap, as long as they could achieve their goal in the end, he felt that all sacrifices were worth it. However, what he never expected was that as the situation stabilized, they clearly had enough time to take the wounded away safely before releasing the violent energy. However, those decision makers completely ignored these one thousand lives and abandoned them without hesitation.
As the rage in his heart burned fiercely, a strong feeling of anger spread rapidly in Arugo's body like a flood. At the same time, Arugo, who was immersed in extreme anger, did not notice that the dark energy contained in his body was slowly flowing out along his feet and seeping into the body of the seriously injured soldier beside him bit by bit.
Arugao was quick to notice this change and immediately rushed to the soldier's side, nervously and anxiously checking his condition. To Arugao's great surprise, the soldier's original severe pain was miraculously relieved.
The soldier slowly opened his eyes. Although his face was still as pale as paper and he looked very weak, his physical condition had obviously improved to a certain extent compared to before. He said in a weak but grateful voice: "Master Arugo, thank you for saving me."
Hearing this, Arugo felt a little relieved and responded, "I'm glad you're feeling better." However, Arugo himself was confused by the wonderful changes that took place in the soldier and had no idea why.
At this moment, the soldier suddenly turned his head and looked at the other injured companions around him. There was a pleading look in his eyes, and he pleaded to Arugo: "Sir, please help them too." Facing the soldier's request, Arugo nodded and said that he would do his best.
But in fact, Arugao was at a loss at this time, and had no idea what method he should take to truly help these soldiers. Moreover, he was not even sure whether it was right or wrong to do so, and he couldn't help but fall into deep confusion.
At this moment, the soldier who had recovered a little strength seemed to see through Arugo's thoughts and comforted him: "Lord Arugo, when those pots thrown in by catapults from outside fell beside us, everyone knew it well - we were abandoned. So no matter what the final outcome is, we can accept it calmly."
Although the soldier said so, Arugao was still not sure whether it was right or wrong to do so, and was still hesitating.
"Lord Arugo, you saved me. I have been abandoned by my family. Can I become your subordinate?" the soldier said sadly.
"No, you are not my subordinate." Arugao was also very excited.
"I'm sorry, sir. I know I don't deserve it." The soldier was suddenly frustrated.
"No, you are not my subordinate. If you are willing, you can become my family. We abandoned people can become a family." Arugo said, holding the soldier's hand.
"Sir, can I...can I do that?" The soldier was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, of course." Arugo nodded.
"Father." The soldier said excitedly and immediately made Arugo unable to do anything.
"My child," Arugal responded.
"Father, father." The soldier hugged Arugo directly.
"My child!" Arugao also said excitedly while hugging the soldier.
"Father, please save them, they are your children too." said the soldier excitedly.
"Okay." Arugao didn't think about it anymore at this time. He released the dark energy he had just obtained and injected it into the bodies of the soldiers one by one.
It doesn't take a lot, just a little bit of dark energy is enough to relieve the soldiers' pain. Many soldiers have calmed down, and so far no soldier has shown any adverse reactions, which makes Arugao breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the soldiers were now more concentrated, and Arugao stabilized the status of all the soldiers after walking around. When he just returned to the starting point, the original soldiers were looking at Arugao with clenched teeth.
"What's wrong with you? Is there any problem?" Arugao hurried forward and asked.
"Father, I may...may not be able to survive. If possible, you have to keep them alive." The soldier said tremblingly.
"No, you will be fine." Arugao said hurriedly.
"I felt like my body was going to explode," the soldier said, trying to hold back his anger.
"Don't hold it in, let it out, release it." Arugao encouraged the soldiers.
