Novel Full Chapter 449 - Mother as the Bait
Chapter 449: Mother as the Bait
The Mammoth Beast landed on the top of the mountain where it lived and shook the small mountain. The Mammoth Beast stood on the top of the mountain and glanced at the small wooden house where its neighbor lived in the distance. It said coldly, “Icy Night T-Rex, they want you to hand her over. If you want to hand her over, then hand her over quickly. If you don’t want to hand her over, then kill them quickly! They’re so noisy that they’re disturbing my sleep!”
With that, the mammoth returned to the cave where it lived and continued to sleep.
This group of super demon beasts were willing to accept the Icy Night T-Rex and give him a territory to live in. They were already being very benevolent by doing this. They definitely wouldn’t become enemies with the entire human race for a human fiendish cultivator like Anna.
The Icy Night T-Rex wasn’t worth them risking their lives for.
The Icy Night T-Rex also knew about their current situation very clearly. He looked down at Anna and saw that she was looking up at the aircraft in the distant sky.
Her expression seemed sad.
The Icy Night T-Rex knew that Anna’s mother had abandoned her when she was still a cub. He approached Anna and lowered his head to ask her, “Is that person your mother?”
Anna stared at the swaying iron cage in the sky and said, “I can’t see clearly.”
The Icy Night T-Rex asked again, “Then do you remember what your mother looked like?”
Anna’s pretty face instantly looked lonely and sad. She shook her head and whispered, “Can you believe it? I actually don’t even remember what she looks like.”
The Icy Night T-Rex didn’t say anything. It only quietly opened half of its wings and covered the sad Anna under them. Anna leaned against the Icy Night T-Rex’s wings and looked at the cage with a complicated expression.
She never expected that her reunion with her mother would be under such circumstances.
The rabbit bun she wanted to eat had long stopped being manufactured.
It was half past ten in the morning when Xuanyuan Shen shouted.
After shouting, they used the robotic arm of the aircraft to pull the iron cage and flew back and forth along the sky of the middle circle.
The aircraft stirred the airflow, causing the trees in the forest below to sway.
The group of intermediate-level demon beasts was in great anguish. They hid in the forest and roared threateningly at the group of human Beast Tamers in the sky. Xuanyuan Shen was afraid of the super demon beasts in the center, but he didn’t take these intermediate-level demon beasts seriously.
The aircraft circled in the sky for more than an hour. There were only ten minutes left until noon, but the fiendish cultivator, Anna, still didn’t appear. Xuanyuan Shen finally couldn’t sit still.
“Demonic cultivator Anna! You still have ten minutes! If you don’t appear, I’ll throw your mother down from the sky!” Xuanyuan Shen let out an exaggerated cry and said, “She will be smashed into meat paste and then torn apart and chewed by those hungry and cruel demon beasts in the forest!”
After saying that, seeing that there was still no movement in the forest, Xuanyuan Shen suddenly said to a disciple behind him, “Go, put the loudspeaker on that woman!”
“Yes, Mentor!”
Xuanyuan Shen’s personal disciple, Chu Zhuang, put on a loudspeaker and flew to the iron cage on his sword.
After opening the metal cage, Chu Zhuang was about to put the loudspeaker on the woman’s neck.
The woman’s hands were bound by nylon ropes and placed behind her back. This prevented her from escaping.
The woman, who was originally kneeling stiffly in the cage like a puppet, suddenly raised her head and begged Chu Zhuang when she saw him open the iron cage, “Young man, can you help me untie the rope behind me?!”
Chu Zhuang looked at her coldly and didn’t respond.
Chu Zhuang picked up the loudspeaker and put it on the woman’s neck.
The loudspeaker wasn’t turned on for the time being. The woman begged Chu Zhuang with tears in her eyes, “I’ve let my child down. I’ve never raised her or done my duty as a mother. How can I hurt her?! In this world, the person who has the least right to hurt her is me!”
“Young man, you have parents. How can you bear to use a mother as bait to hurt her child?”
Chu Zhuang said expressionlessly, “I don’t have parents. They abandoned me in the snow because I was missing two fingers.” Chu Zhuang fixed the loudspeaker and looked at the woman in front of him in disgust. “Since they don’t want to raise me, why give birth?”
Chu Zhuang turned on the loudspeaker, stood up, and left the cage.
Seeing that Chu Zhuang had put the loudspeaker on Anna’s mother, Xuanyuan Shen pressed a switch in front of him. The cage was suddenly opened from the bottom!
The woman squatting at the bottom of the cage immediately fell.
The intense sense of weightlessness and the fear of the unknown frightened the woman so much that she broke down and shouted crazily—
“Ah!!!”
The woman’s screams reached Anna through the loudspeaker.
Anna, who was leaning on the Icy Night T-Rex, immediately stood up straight and looked up at the sky. When she saw the woman who was hanging in the void and shouting in panic, Anna’s pupils trembled uncontrollably, and her brown eyes turned black again.
“Demon Anna! You still have seven minutes left!” Xuanyuan Shen reminded her calmly.
Anna stood rooted to the ground.
The Icy Night T-Rex silently guarded beside her. He asked Anna, “Are you going to save her?”
Anna said nothing, but her eyes gradually returned to normal.
A moment later, Anna asked the Icy Night T-Rex, “If it was you, would you save her?”
The Icy Night T-Rex’s mother had died to save him. He had always respected and admired his mother. “I would save her because my mother loved me so much that she gave up her life for me. But she is your mother. She once abandoned you. If you want to save her, I will help you. If you don’t want to save her, I understand.”
The Icy Night T-Rex wasn’t human. He was much more carefree.
Anna didn’t remember much about her childhood. The only thing she remembered clearly was her father’s violent abuse and her mother’s back figure as she walked further and further away in the snow.
Anna knew that her mother loved her. If her father wasn’t so cruel, how could her mother bear to abandon her biological child and escape from that living hell?
Anna clenched her fists and said, “The moment I awakened my beast form, I wanted to become stronger. There are only two reasons why I wanted to become stronger. One, I wanted my father to never dare to bully me again. Two, I wanted to become Mother’s protector.”
Protecting her mother and preventing her from being bullied was Anna’s original intention when she awakened her beast form. Why did she forget her original intention after seeing her mother?
“Demon Anna, you still have three minutes!” Xuanyuan Shen’s tone gradually became irritable.
With that said, his eyes swept across the center of the forest with a gloomy gaze. Seeing that the fiendish cultivator still didn’t appear, he immediately became impatient. Xuanyuan Shen suddenly jumped off the aircraft and summoned his beast form, the brown unicorn rhinoceros.
The rhinoceros turned into a long sword that Xuanyuan Shen held tightly in his hand.
Xuanyuan Shen floated above the iron cage. He raised his sword high and said loudly, “Demonic cultivator Anna, if you still don’t appear, I will cut off the safety rope on your mother! You still have two minutes!”
Hearing this, the woman in the iron cage suddenly struggled crazily. She let out a hoarse roar and shouted, “Anna! Anna, don’t worry about me! I have already been seriously injured and only have half a year to live! Don’t sacrifice your life for me!”
After she heard her mother’s words, Anna’s psychological defense finally broke.
She told Anna not to care about her, but she was actually protecting Anna.
Anna understood that her mother still loved her.
Soon, Xuanyuan Shen shouted again, “Demon Anna, you still have one minute!” After a pause, he said, “You still have fifty seconds!”
At this moment, Xuanyuan Shen suddenly slapped the metal cage.
The haggard woman spat out a mouthful of blood from Xuanyuan Shen’s strike. “Ah!” The woman couldn’t bear the pain and couldn’t help but cry out.
The wailing sound spread along the loudspeaker and fell into Anna’s ears. Anna couldn’t stay still for a moment longer. She flew and sat on the back of the Icy Night T-Rex. “Let’s go!”
“Okay!” The Icy Night T-Rex flapped its wings and flew into the sky with Anna.
“Demonic Cultivator Anna, you still have 30 seconds!” Xuanyuan Shen raised his beast form spirit sword and silently counted down. “If you still haven’t appeared in the last ten seconds, I will cut the safety rope without hesitation!” After saying that, Xuanyuan Shen looked nervously at the forest below. He wanted to see if the demonic cultivator would save her mother.
At this moment, the forest in the center suddenly shook greatly, as if some huge creature was about to fly out of the forest.
In the next second, an ice-blue dragon leaped up from the forest and instantly flew to the same height as the aircraft.
On the head of the Icy Night T-Rex stood a woman in a white gauze dress. The woman was petite and looked less than 1.6 meters tall. She had two pigtails and her cute face looked icy.
Seeing this woman, Xuanyuan Shen subconsciously tensed up. The beast tamers on the aircraft were also on high alert.
The little girl in front of them was a demonic cultivator. She was an evil existence. They couldn’t let their guard down around her!
“Anna!”
Seeing that Anna had really appeared, her mother suddenly broke down and cried. “Anna, my child, leave quickly! These bastards will kill you!” The woman didn’t care if Anna was a fiendish cultivator that would cause the continent to be plunged into misery and suffering.
She only knew that it was her child, Anna. She was a pitiful child who had been abandoned by her parents since she was young, but had still grown up tenaciously.
Anna looked at her birth mother sadly. She said, “I waited for you in the snow all day that day.”
The woman was immediately stunned. “Anna.”
When she thought about how the young Anna had actually obediently stood in the snow and waited for her for an entire day, the woman’s heart ached.
“I’m sorry, Anna. I was afraid of your father back then! Although I’m a Scholar, I awakened the most useless plant beast form, the three-leaf clover. My spiritual power is weak, and I’m no different from a commoner. I wanted to take you away, but I couldn’t give you a better life!”
“I’m sorry. I was wrong!”
