Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: He Only Wants to See Her Now

Since it was their first time fighting the Mutated Lizardmen, Si Muye and his men had absolutely no experience.

After a few clashes, they realized that everything the she-wolf had told them was true.

These monsters were tough as nails, impossible to kill, and their numbers were endless.

They came one after another, mindless beasts with no sense of pain. They feared neither death nor injury—brutes living only for the thrill of the slaughter.

"Third Young Master, why are there so many of these things?"

"How long are we going to have to keep fighting?"

Just then, a particularly large Lizardman lunged at Si Muye.

Its sharp fangs and claws seemed poised to tear him to shreds.

"Third Young Master, look out!"

A warrior beside him lashed out with a vicious kick.

The Lizardman was sent flying, but not before its claws accidentally slashed the warrior’s leg.

Seeing the other Lizardmen swarming toward them, Si Muye struck out with his palm.

"Retreat! Don’t get bogged down in this fight."

The group quickly broke through the encirclement, retreating into the forest and leaping up into the trees.

Below, the Lizardmen continued their reckless charge, even attempting to scramble up the tree trunks.

The men had no choice but to dart from branch to branch.

They fled through the forest, fighting off the Lizardmen that pursued them.

After a grueling, night-long battle, they finally reached a riverbank just as the sky began to lighten.

The moment daylight broke, the pursuing Lizardmen retreated like a receding tide.

The men collapsed by the riverbank, gasping for breath.

All of them were completely exhausted.

"Thank goodness. It looks like these brutes only come out at night!"

"Third Young Master, your arm is injured!"

The two warriors lying beside him saw a scratch on Si Muye’s arm.

When facing a siege by so many Lizardmen, getting scratched by their sharp claws was almost unavoidable.

So Si Muye didn’t pay it any mind.

Besides, he’d gotten the scratch while saving a warrior who had fallen from a branch and was nearly overwhelmed.

He glanced at his arm.

"It’s nothing, just a small wound!"

Just then, the Ancient Bear Family warrior who had been scratched on the leg began to feel feverish.

He stood up uncomfortably and walked towards the river.

He had intended to get a drink to quench his thirst.

But the moment he touched the cool water, he felt a sense of relief and began splashing it over his body.

His body, however, only grew hotter. Splashing water was no longer enough, so he started stripping off his clothes.

He wished he could bury his whole body in the water.

Yet even then, he felt a relentless agitation in his body.

The man’s commotion in the water made Si Muye sense that something was wrong.

"Go see what’s wrong with him."

Hearing this, a warrior beside him stood up and walked towards the river.

But before he could get close, the naked warrior in the water whipped around and lunged at him, radiating waves of intense heat.

The warrior was shocked. "Hey, what are you doing?"

This crazed behavior, clearly driven by some kind of poison, stunned Si Muye and the others.

Several of them rushed over and pinned the man down in the water.

But with the poison taking hold, the man had completely lost his mind.

His muscles bulged as he furiously ripped at the last shreds of his clothing.

"Hot, so hot, this is awful!"

Si Muye grabbed his arm and felt the spiritual power raging uncontrollably within him. He immediately knew something was terribly wrong.

"His spiritual power is out of control. This is a sign of his bestial instincts taking over!"

A nearby warrior asked:

"How is this possible?"

"How could his bestial instincts flare up so suddenly?"

Normally, even when a male lost control of his bestial instincts, it was never this sudden or without warning.

Si Muye said, "Hold him down."

As several warriors quickly pinned the berserk man in the water, Si Muye’s eyes fell upon a pitch-black claw mark on his leg.
