Speaking of the Thunder Flame Wolf, it is very different now from a year ago. It no longer looks like a dull puppet. It has become normal and behaves like an ordinary spirit beast.
Moreover, although the beast control ring is still worn around its neck, Bai Yunfei has not 'controlled' it for a long time. All its affairs are left to Xiao Qi to 'arrange', whether it is fighting or Alerts and the like allow it to act independently, and the beast control ring only allows it to exert its effect of increasing loyalty and ensures that it will not betray.
After the Thunder Flame Wolf returned to normal, it did not show any 'viciousness', and there was never any thought of resistance on the beast control ring. It never showed any hostility towards its 'master' Bai Yunfei, and seemed to be docile. Like a pet, Bai Yunfei was curious for a while.
At that time, its consciousness had just recovered, and the sea of consciousness was no longer empty, but its own consciousness appeared. However, when Bai Yunfei wanted to enter and direct its actions, there was no resistance, just like a something. Children who don't understand usually always obey what they are told.
After that, Bai Yunfei hadn't entered its sea of consciousness for several months, and had almost regarded it as a 'companion'. The relationship between it and Xiao Qi was even better. Anyway, the two soul beasts were almost at any time. They are all together, and their cooperation in battle is even closer than with Bai Yunfei.
But now Xiao Qi suddenly told him that the situation of Thunder Flame Wolf was a bit strange, which made him greatly surprised. He didn't know what changes had happened to Thunder Flame Wolf.
At this moment, the Thunder Flame Wolf was standing a hundred or ten meters in front of Bai Yunfei, seeming to be alerting the surroundings. It was no different from usual. Bai Yunfei was confused, and with a slight thought, he gave the order for it to come over through the beast control ring.
Then, something surprising happened to him - after this order was issued, the Thunder Flame Wolf did not act immediately - for the first time, the consciousness of 'resistance' came out of its mind! !
"Um?!"
Bai Yunfei was stunned. He had long been accustomed to Lei Yanlang's "obedience", so the order just now was just a very slight thought. At this moment, Lei Yanlang resisted, so he completely canceled the order, and then Before Bai Yunfei had time to formulate his next thought, Lei Yanlang turned around and walked towards him slowly.
It wasn't following orders, it was just walking by itself!
And Bai Yunfei also discovered that at this moment, Lei Yanlang's eyes were shining with an extremely human light!
This has never happened before. The previous Thunder Flame Wolf had very smart eyes, but it was only equivalent to an ordinary soul beast, and it was often in a daze. It was even worse than the previous blue-eyed sub-dragon. But now, its eyes are full of energy. The look on his face is almost the same as that of a human being!
With such a human look in his eyes, even the familiar Red Devil Crazy Pig Xiao Rourou and Swift Shadow Bird Xiao Bai couldn't give him this feeling - he had only experienced it in Xiao Qi's body.
"this… "
Bai Yunfei was shocked when the Thunder Flame Wolf stopped three meters in front of him. Then, the next second, Bai Yunfei's eyes widened suddenly and he jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on!
"Yunfei, I have something to discuss with you."
A somewhat hoarse man's voice came to Bai Yunfei's ears, which was also the reason why he lost his composure - this voice actually came from the mouth of the Thunder Flame Wolf! !
"You, you, you..." Bai Yunfei stepped back twenty meters as if he had seen a ghost, and stammered, "Wha... what's going on?!"
At the same time, he glanced at Xiao Qi who was standing aside. Xiao Qi slightly shrugged his wings and thought, 'I don't know either'.
"Yunfei, you don't have to be so surprised. As a peak soul beast in the late sixth level, it is not something special to be able to speak human words." The Lei Yanlang opposite him grinned and seemed to show a smile. The man's voice continued to come from his mouth, "I just recovered some memories and regained the ability to speak."
It was very simple to say, and it didn't have any special actions, let alone hostility, but Lei Yanlang, who had been getting along for nearly a year, suddenly spoke like a human. This situation makes people feel creepy, Baiyun Fei still opened his mouth slightly, unable to react.
"Chirp!"
In comparison, Xiao Qi seemed to accept the situation easily. He screamed twice excitedly, flapped his wings and flew out, hovering above the head of Lei Yan Wolf, looking a little excited, chirping, seeming to be chatting with Lei Yan Wolf. The wolf said something.
Lei Yanlang looked up at him and said with a smile: "Well, that's right. It's indeed because of the soul crystal that swallowed the pith-eating wood fly. You don't have to be envious. One day you can talk like this."
Seeing Lei Yanlang talking to Xiao Qi like a friend, Bai Yunfei calmed down a bit, but the corners of his mouth were still twitching slightly, and he hesitated: "You... are you really Lei Yanlang? So you can talk?"
Lei Yanlang turned to look at him, nodded and said: "Yes, I used to be able to speak, but I forgot before. I just absorbed the soul crystal of a late-level six peak soul beast, and I made a breakthrough in my cultivation. I recovered." A part of the past memory.”
The previous memories naturally refer to the memories before being turned into soul beast puppets by the people of the Beast Controlling Sect. This surprised Bai Yunfei. He had always thought that all these things in the souls of the soul beasts controlled by the Beast Controlling Sect had already happened. After being erased, even if one regains consciousness, it is just a blank piece of paper and needs to be rewritten. Unexpectedly, the memory can be restored.
"Then... what did you remember?" Bai Yunfei gradually calmed down and asked curiously.
Lei Yanlang said: "There are only a few fragmentary memories. The biggest gain is this sanity and the ability to speak."
Bai Yunfei frowned slightly. Although he was still a little surprised in his heart, he accepted the situation. Most soul beasts have to reach the seventh level before their intelligence can be fully enlightened and become no different from ordinary people. But there are always special ones, like Mei Foxes can transform into humans at level six, and even speak human words at level five. There are also some soul beasts with special adventures, or some rare soul beasts that are born with extremely high intelligence. If they come into contact with humans too much, He can also speak human words at level six.
Four months ago, Bai Yunfei encountered a late-level six-level peak planter ape. It was a rare intelligent spirit beast with a gentle temper. It was also a rare spirit beast that did not fight Bai Yunfei after encountering it. Bai Yunfei He chatted with him for a long time before saying goodbye and leaving. It even made Bai Yunfei feel like an ordinary human elder.
He calmed down and then asked Lei Yanlang: "You just said that you want to discuss something with me?"
"Not bad." Thunder Flame Wolf hesitated for a moment, then continued, "You... have already planned to leave the Soul Beast Forest like this, right?"
Bai Yunfei raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, after passing through this line of sky, you will enter the fifth level area, and then go straight back to the Tianhun Empire."
"..." Lei Yanlang was silent for a while, and then he said, "In the little memory I just recovered, I remembered that I still have family members deep in the sixth-level area... I... hope you can let me go back..."
It spoke hesitantly, but still stated its purpose directly, even with a tone of request. It knew that as long as it had that strange thing around its neck, it would not be able to disobey Bai Yunfei's order. In other words, in fact, it There is no 'capital' to make such a request...
However, it really doesn't want to leave the Soul Beast Forest anymore. Now it just wants to go back to the depths of the sixth-level area, to that 'home', to find the rest of its vague memories.
"So that's it..." Bai Yunfei nodded suddenly, and then said with a smile, "Well, if that's the case, I won't take you out forcibly. You can go back to find your family."
As he said that, under the surprised gaze of Lei Yanlang, he made a move with his right hand, and the beast control ring shone slightly, became larger, separated from Lei Yanlang's neck, flew back to his hand, became the size of a bracelet, and wore it on On the wrist.
"Uh..." His 'simply' move made the Thunder Flame Wolf stunned for a moment. It really didn't expect that Bai Yunfei would agree so easily. In its impression, if humans had the chance to control a level six... A soul beast with peak strength in the later period would never give up easily. However, after he recovered his intelligence, he recalled Bai Yunfei's performance during the year and thought that Bai Yunfei was a little different from other soul masters, so he decided to ask for a try. Yes, I didn’t expect it to succeed so smoothly...
Bai Yunfei smiled and said: "We have been together for so long, can we be regarded as 'friends'? Besides, except for your appearance, your intelligence is no different from that of humans. Naturally, I can't control you like before. Since you have your own affairs, Then just do it, and I hope we can have another chance to meet again in the future.”
"Friend??" Lei Yanlang's eyes flashed and he stared at Bai Yunfei with a pair of big eyes, as if he wanted to distinguish the truth of what he said. He was silent for a long time and only said two more words, "Thank you."
It turned around and faced north, seemingly wanting to leave immediately.
"Chirp!"
Xiao Qi flew in the air and called out twice. Just by listening to the sound, you could hear a strong sense of reluctance.
Lei Yanlang looked up at him and grinned again: "Xiao Qi, goodbye, thank you for helping me all the time. If you hadn't let me swallow so many soul crystals, I would never have recovered so quickly. I will never forget you. Yes, like Yun Fei said, I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future, and then... I hope I can repay your kindness."
It looked back at Bai Yunfei again, and Bai Yunfei nodded gently to it and said with a smile: "Take care."
The Thunder Flame Wolf also nodded, no longer staying, and jumped down the hillside with a single leap, then sprinted towards the depths of the Soul Beast Forest, and quickly disappeared...
