Chapter 27 p2

In the end, Lang Qing could only silently watch his companions drink the water from the pool and turn into werewolves.

But when they saw Lang Qing’s completely different appearance, the clamor slowly subsided.

Lang Qing was pushed to the edge of the divine pool by one of his companions. The clear and beautiful water of the pool reflected their appearance.

They were werewolves. Only he was still a human-wolf.

Now, the one who was out of place was Lang Qing.

“Lang Qing, if you still have a shred of consideration for us, drink the water from the pool and go with us to take revenge.”

Lang Qing gritted his teeth and, with no other choice, drank the water from the pool.

His handsome human face turned into a ferocious and ugly wolf’s head, with a scar that had not yet healed on his eye.

They regrouped and chased after the villagers who had not yet completely descended the mountain.

When the villagers saw the ferocious werewolves coming to kill them, they were all scared out of their wits. They instinctively ran for their lives.

Even Lang Qing thought that they would definitely die here today.

But who knew…

After turning into werewolves, they could no longer harm the villagers.

Because they had all drunk the water from the pool, their bodies had already changed, and they had become a “family” recognized by the divine pool.

Under the constraints of the divine pool, they could not harm each other.

In a state of extreme shock, the werewolves let the villagers go, and also ignored Uncle Zhong, who was the only one among them who had not drunk the water from the pool.

After the villagers returned, everyone was sincerely grateful. Although they didn’t understand the reason, they could roughly guess that the ones who had come to kill them were the werewolves from before, and that they couldn’t harm them, probably because they had drunk the divine water.

Although they didn’t know the specific details, it didn’t stop the villagers from secretly rejoicing.

Before Uncle Zhong left, the village chief stopped him.

It was unclear whether it was a comfort or a warning, but in any case, the village chief comforted Uncle Zhong, saying that although their first son was dead, they would have other children. At the same time, if they wanted to continue living in the village, they had to put the interests of the village first and not harm the interests of the village because of personal gains and losses.

In the future, when the overall living standards of the village improved, his and Aunt Ge’s second child would have a good environment to grow up in.

Uncle Zhong understood what the village chief was trying to say. He didn’t answer and returned home in a daze.

When Aunt Ge saw him return, she quickly asked what had happened. Uncle Zhong hesitated several times, but in the end, he told her what had happened.

Including the cause of their son’s death.

If it weren’t for so many ifs, their son would still be alive and well.

And Aunt Ge, from this point on, began to go a little crazy.

She didn’t know how to face this matter, nor did she know how to face the village chief. She both hated him and was a little afraid to show her hatred.

She and Uncle Zhong still had to live in the village, and they didn’t have the ability to leave in the short term. So, they could only cover up their son’s death as an accident.

Besides, who could they take revenge on? They couldn’t deal with anyone.

A small half of the people in the village had drunk the divine water. They had also obtained strong physiques and ample stamina. At the same time, because of the irrigation with the water from the divine pool, the crops in the village also grew particularly well.

But the good times didn’t last long. Slowly, the villagers who had eagerly drunk a lot of the divine water found that some… mutations were appearing on their bodies.

The first to be affected was the village chief.

He found that he was gradually unable to stand the smell of vegetables. Once he ate them, he would feel nauseous and want to vomit. In the end, he couldn’t even swallow a single bite.

He began to like eating meat, the more the better.

Originally, these were not big problems, but until one day, the village chief found that thick, black hair was beginning to grow on his body, and his teeth were gradually becoming sharper. He was slowly turning into a wolf.

And it wasn’t just the village chief. The other people in the village who had drunk a lot of the divine water like him also began to have this problem.

They began to panic.

The village chief thought of the werewolves from before, so he suddenly guessed that this might be because they had drunk the divine water.

Although they did want their bodies to become better, it didn’t mean they wanted to become another species.

Therefore, not long after their last meeting, the village chief brought the villagers to find them again.

And at the same time, the werewolves were also facing a problem.

They found that their bodies were gradually becoming weaker during the day, and they were gradually unable to maintain their werewolf form.

But the wolf form they had transformed back into… had also mutated.

If their werewolf form had a human body and the four paws and head of a wolf, then their wolf form had the body of a wolf and the four paws of a human.

In short, it was better not to transform back into a wolf.

Similarly, they were gradually unable to eat the meat of herbivores. Not only that, they couldn’t eat anything. They could only drink the divine water to stay full.

But the more they drank the divine water, the more serious the situation became.

Just at this time, the village chief brought the villagers to find them.

This was the first time the two sides had sat down and talked peacefully.

The reason they had undergone such changes was undoubtedly because they had drunk the divine water. When they had drunk it before, there had been nothing wrong. It should be because they had drunk less at that time.

Even the werewolves, it was because they had been drinking more recently that more and more problems had appeared.

So, the village chief had already planned to stop drinking the divine water. Because he had drunk enough, although his appearance had not changed, his physical fitness had already surpassed that of ordinary people. Therefore, he no longer had to worry about dying early.

The village chief wanted to take the villagers back, but he was stopped by Lang Zong.

The humanoid beast with a wolf’s head looked at him, its bared lips revealing its sharp, white teeth.

“Your problem is solved. It’s time to solve our problem.”

The village chief was vigilant. “What problem do you have?”

Lang Zong: “You humans just need to stop drinking the divine water and your symptoms will improve. But we… we can’t just not eat or drink, can we?”

The village chief: “Then you can just continue hunting.”

Lang Zong’s smile turned cold. “Didn’t I tell you? We can’t eat those rabbit, fish, and pheasant meat anymore. But seeing you, I did think of another kind of meat I haven’t eaten.”

The wrinkles on the village chief’s face twitched. “What kind of meat?”

Lang Zong’s glowing green eyes stared at him.

“Human meat.”

Not just the villagers who had come with him, but even the other werewolves were a little shocked.

After all, habits are hard to change. They had always eaten the meat of herbivores and had never harmed humans or eaten human meat.

The child last time… was a one-time exception under extreme anger, but even then, they hadn’t eaten him. But now, he was asking them to eat human meat?

They prided themselves on being the only special werewolf clan. If they ate human meat, what was the difference between them and ordinary, unenlightened beasts?

The village chief also firmly disagreed. “I will never let you succeed! Don’t even think about it!”

Lang Zong smiled faintly, his bared wolf’s mouth looking very terrifying.

“I didn’t say I would eat you. With the effect of the divine water, we can’t harm you. But besides you, aren’t there other people in the village?”

“Don’t tell me that in such a short time, everyone in the village has drunk the divine water. I don’t believe you can be so generous.”

Uncle Zhong, who was in the crowd, his eyes widened in shock. He almost jumped up, but at the last moment, his reason held him back.

He absolutely could not jump out!

Otherwise, that werewolf would recognize him when he saw him. At that time, with new and old grudges combined, what if he started with him?

Thinking of Aunt Ge, who was still at home, Uncle Zhong finally shrank back, pretending to be someone who had drunk the divine water, and said nothing.

Fortunately, the people around him all thought that he had already drunk the divine water and did not point him out.

The village chief narrowed his eyes and looked at him. “So you mean…”

Lang Zong: “Just those people are enough. Anyway, they’re probably not the relatives of the people here, so it’s no big deal if we eat a few of them, right?”

The village chief did not agree at once. Instead, he said that he had to go back and discuss it.

As soon as the villagers left, the other werewolves all turned on Lang Zong.

Lang Zong pushed them away and said to Lang Qing, who was the most opposed, “What else can we do? Are we going to starve to death here? Or drink the divine water until we can’t take care of ourselves, and then let those humans attack the forest and completely lose the divine pool?”

“You’re stupid, but I’m not. Only by living well can we have more ways to study how to kill those humans. And before that—”

A cold light reflected in his eyes. “What’s wrong with eating a few people? The thought that those people are their companions, villagers from the same village, makes it even more delicious.”

He had hatred in his heart, and he couldn’t vent it on those who had drunk the divine water, so he could only find another way to vent it.

Lang Qing, who was being accused, could no longer say anything else.

After the village chief went back, he thought for a long time and finally reached an agreement with the werewolves through negotiation.

He could agree to them killing people, but not too many. Only once a month, and no more than five people at a time.

This was also for “sustainable development.”

The werewolves agreed.

In fact, the village chief had no choice but to agree to the werewolves’ request. He felt that they still had to rely on the divine pool. If they really pushed the werewolves too far, it would be bad if they ended up in a lose-lose situation.

As for this decision, because the village chief felt that the interests of the village should be prioritized, and then the individual villagers.

As for the divine water, he felt that there was no need to give it to the other villagers who hadn’t drunk it. After all, if they drank it, where would they find villagers who hadn’t drunk the divine water to give to the werewolves?

This was the bond that maintained the delicate peace between him and the werewolves. It absolutely could not be lost.

The village chief felt guilty, but he also felt that this was a sacrifice the villagers were making for the entire village.

So, that was why there was a monthly incident of villagers being killed.

This was also the pattern that the werewolves and the villagers who had drunk the divine water had summarized.

The werewolves were at their strongest on the full moon, so this was the best time for them to be active. And the energy they gained from eating at this time was also the greatest, enough to last for more than a month.

The villagers who had drunk the divine water would no longer continue to mutate after they stopped drinking it. It was just that every night when there was no moon, they would still turn into the same appearance as the werewolves, and at that time, they would also particularly like to eat meat. But compared to their previous situation, it was much better.

The werewolves actually didn’t want to abide by the restrictions set by the village chief, but they still needed to maintain a false peace between them for the time being, until one side found a way to break it.

They couldn’t kill the villagers, but because they hadn’t completely given up on the divine pool, they were sometimes constrained. It was precisely because of this that they only acted on the full moon.

But gradually, the village chief slowly developed a conscience. At the same time, he was also afraid that the people in the village would become suspicious. Therefore, the village chief thought that he couldn’t let the werewolves continue to eat the people in the village. He had to think of another way.
