The Legendary Man Chapter 707-However, Stellario’s temper disappeared as soon as Winston dropped his billhook onto the rocks.
“Oh, come on. It was just a joke!” Stellario grinned and took out a porcelain bottle before shattering it on the ground. Two pills with a strange smell appeared, and he quickly swallowed them.
Upon seeing the confused look on Winston’s face, Stellario gritted his teeth in pain while pulling himself up to lean on the huge centipede’s shell. These are Spirit Rejuvenating Pills made by the Mallory family. It contains a drug that can fight parasites. My spiritual energy is extremely low now. If I don’t take these pills, I might get taken out by the parasites in my body. Do you want some?”
Winston merely shook his head in response and took some tobacco out from his storage space to have a smoke.
Around half an hour later, Stellario regained his spiritual energy, and insects could be seen healing his wounds.
“Why didn’t you kill me, Winston?” Stellario moved toward the fire and smiled at Winston. If it were me, I would’ve killed him already. Now that the eight respectable families are going through a reshuffle, I would even kill another respectable family’s Grandmaster Realm cultivator unhesitatingly, let alone a God Realm cultivator.
With that in mind, Stellario was utterly curious.
“I received news from back home, and they told me our three families had formed an alliance. If I were to kill you, I could end up ruining the alliance,” Winston answered after letting out a sigh.
When Winston said those words, he sounded unhappy and disappointed. Stellario’s centipede carried me with it and ran over two hundred miles to get here. I wanted to kill Stellario when he was unconscious, but I hesitated. After all, I only managed to escape due to Stellario’s blood ritual. In other words, Stellario is my savior.
If he were to kill Stellario there and then, he was afraid that he would end up not being able to live with himself during the Divine Tribulation in the future.
Therefore, his family came to his mind. If the alliance wasn’t formed yet, I was going to report the situation to them. They would surely instruct me to kill him. That way, I wouldn’t be the one who decides whether Stellario lives or dies, so I wouldn’t feel so bad.
However, a phone call back to his family ended up destroying his chance of killing Stellario.
When he called home, his family told him that the Mallory family, the Leeson family, and the Henderson family had formed an alliance.
Stellario was also slightly stunned when he heard about the alliance. I had a feeling these families were going to link up, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon. I guess there’s no need for me to confirm the news. After all, I’m still alive, so that serves as a proof.
“Since the alliance is formed, that means we’re now friends!” Stellario laughed. “If we can defeat the other five respectable families, there won’t be any conflicts in Chanaea for at least another hundred years.”
Seeing how excited Stellario was, Winston sighed lightly and said, “I don’t even know whether it’s a blessing or a misfortune to have you as an ally.”
“It’s a blessing! It’s definitely a blessing!” Stellario whipped out an enormous pot from his ring and put it over the fire. He then added water to the pot and uttered, “Let’s celebrate by having beef stew! After we’re done eating, let’s look for Kathleen and bring Killian back to Chanaea. Now that our families are united, I’m going to be a busy man once I return to my village.”
While the two were enjoying beef stew in the cave, Kathleen was stuck in a dire situation. In a river in a valley, Kathleen was holding Killian and Layla in her arms as they lay in the mud under a layer of ice.
There was a handkerchief over their heads that fluttered in the water with the current, but it wouldn’t drift away.
Under the handkerchief, the icy river water was drained away, forming a semi-elliptical space, and the three of them were locked upside down in it.
Although the three of them were not soaked by the river water, the rushing water around them was constantly lowering their body temperature.
Kathleen was fine. Although she was a woman, she was a God Realm expert, so she had been nourished by spiritual energy over a long period of time. She wasn’t impenetrable per se, but she could withstand the icy temperature better than normal humans.
Killian and Layla, on the other hand, had gone pale while they were in Kathleen’s arms.
Killian was suffering from a high fever prior to that, and he had lost consciousness.
Meanwhile, Layla had been trying to stay close to Kathleen with all her might.
Kathleen was using her spiritual energy to seal Killian’s and Layla’s mouths to prevent them from making any noise.
At the same time, she had to stay still and keep her eyes on the footprints that were constantly forming on the surface of the frozen river.
Before that, Charleigh’s army was chasing after Stellario and Winston.
However, Stellario’s centipede was the most poisonous animal, so the werewolves instinctively avoided it. In the end, they detected Kathleen’s and the others’ auras by chance.
Kathleen could easily escape from Charleigh’s hunt on her own, but she couldn’t do it because she had to bring Killian and Layla with her.
Left without a choice, Kathleen simply ran upstream along the glacier, jumped off an unfrozen river, and sneaked under the ice for over ten miles before finding her current hiding spot.
With the help of the flowing water, Kathleen could successfully hide her smell and aura.
Unfortunately for her, it seemed as though Charleigh knew exactly what she had in mind because there were a lot of werewolves roaming on the surface of the frozen river.
Kathleen could only wait for the perfect opportunity to get out of there.
As time went by, a hint of redness started to appear on Layla’s cheeks. After that, she unconsciously unbuttoned her collar.
Kathleen’s expression changed slightly when she saw that. That’s what people do when they’re on the verge of freezing to death. Due to the harsh temperature, humans will concentrate all their heat on vital organs before freezing to death. That will then make them falsely believe that they’re in a hot environment. That’s why they’ll start undressing. If Layla doesn’t get some warmth soon, she’s going to die!
Should we leave now? Kathleen’s expression was grim when she raised her gaze toward the layer of ice above. To avoid getting caught, I’ve been refraining from using my spiritual sense to scan the area. If we stay here any longer, Killian and Layla are definitely going to freeze to death.
For the sake of not exposing themselves, the mother and her son would perish.
Hence, there were two possible outcomes if she were to get out of there. Firstly, no one would spot them, and they would live. Secondly, Charleigh could be right above. Although Kathleen could leave Layla and Killian behind to ensure her own survival, there was no doubt the mother and her son wouldn’t live another day.
Either way, they could die. I might as well just go through the ice now. That way, there’s still hope. With that in mind, Kathleen uttered, “Break!”
As soon as she said that, the ice above her head cracked.
Kathleen then used her right hand to pat the riverbed under her body. Suddenly, a wave of pure spiritual energy gushed out and pushed the three of them toward the sky.
