331: Chapter 331 Killing him is also helping him
Lin Fan was just about to speak.
"Awu~"
A howl, somewhere between a human and a beast, rolled out from the depths of Zhou Kai's throat.
His entire body curled up, his arms hugging his head, and his bones emitted a series of dense cracking sounds.
Lin Fan looked at him, knowing that the transformation was undoubtedly a hundred percent certain; since it couldn't be changed, they could only accept it.
"Kaizi, turning into a monster isn't that scary."
"What's scary is that when you sober up and look back, you'll see the corpses of all of us."
Zhou Kai's body trembled violently, curling up even tighter.
"You will regret it, and that kind of regret is ten thousand times worse than death."
"Control it."
"Or be controlled by it, and then kill us with your own hands."
"Choose one."
Zhou Kai did not answer, but he raised his head.
On that distorted face, two already semi-bestialized eyes stared fixedly at Lin Fan, and he nodded with difficulty.
The next second, Zhou Kai leaped up and sprinted toward the exit of the Karst Cave.
His speed was astonishingly fast; in the blink of an eye from Xu Zhixia and the others, his entire body had already rushed out of the cave entrance, running toward the protruding rock platform outside.
"Zhou Kai!"
Song Ya subconsciously shouted, her voice filled with trembling.
Lin Fan did not chase after him; he just walked to the cave entrance and looked at Zhou Kai's back.
At the edge of the platform, Zhou Kai stopped; to the side was a slope, and below was a beach.
He lifted his head, facing the pale moon, and opened his mouth.
"Awu...!"
A loud wolf howl tore through the night sky; this howl should be the thorough release of wolfish nature.
Lin Fan stood at the cave entrance and shouted.
"Kaizi!"
"Your name is Zhou Kai, not a beast."
The figure on the platform stiffened for a moment, and only for a moment.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the clothes on Zhou Kai's body were torn to shreds inch by inch by his muscles.
"Rip..."
The sound of fabric tearing was exceptionally harsh in the night wind.
His spine arched upward, and his figure elongated and thickened under the moonlight.
Black hair grew wildly from beneath his skin, quickly covering his back, shoulders, and limbs.
Fangs seemed to pierce through his gums and lips, exposing themselves to the air.
He raised his head again.
"Awu...!"
Then he turned his head.
That pair of eyes, across a distance of more than ten meters, locked onto the people at the Karst Cave entrance.
Yang Ningcong was scared almost out of his wits.
He scrambled and crawled deeper into the Karst Cave, not even caring to pick up the wooden stick that had fallen to the ground.
"It... it's looking over! It's going to attack!"
Lin Fan stood at the cave entrance, his dagger already tightly gripped in his hand.
He looked at that black figure standing over three meters tall; this was the chance he gave Zhou Kai. If he were to turn into a dehumanized monster, staying in the cave would be a ticking time bomb.
If he softened his heart, Su Qingxue and the others would be in danger.
And if Zhou Kai really killed them, he would definitely regret it when he woke up. Killing him was also helping him.
He couldn't bring himself to kill Zhou Kai, but he wouldn't hesitate to kill a beast.
Zhou Kai saw them—no, that wolf saw its prey.
The next moment, the werewolf moved.
It went down on all fours, its massive body lowering, muscles bulging, and launched a charge toward the Karst Cave entrance.
A distance of a few meters was reached almost instantly.
"Ah..."
Song Ya and Su Qingxue let out short screams simultaneously, and Xu Zhixia also pulled the two of them behind her.
The entrance of the Karst Cave was too narrow; it didn't crash straight in.
"Bang!"
Two huge front paws slammed heavily onto the rocks on both sides of the cave entrance, sending rock fragments flying.
Then, it extended that human head covered in black hair into the cave.
Yellow-green vertical pupils swept around the dark Karst Cave, and those eyes stopped on Lin Fan.
"Aowuuuu..."
The wolf howl exploded inside the narrow Karst Cave.
This wolf howl was exceptionally loud in the confined space, making the entire Karst Cave hum and vibrate.
Yang Ningcong covered his ears, feeling as if his eardrums had been shattered by this sound.
"Wuwu... Brother Fan! What the hell are you standing there for?!"
He strained his voice and roared with all his might, "Kill it!!"
Yang Ningcong used the toughest tone to say the softest words, "I'm scared, I fucking beg you to kill him."
"This beast is clearly going to attack us! It doesn't recognize anyone anymore!"
"While its head is reaching in! Stab it in the eye with a knife! Hurry!"
Song Ya was also shaking all over with fright, gripping Xu Zhixia's arm tightly, but she still spoke up.
"Lin Fan... don't..."
Her voice was very small, almost inaudible under the wolf howl and Yang Ningcong's screams.
"He is Zhou Kai... we... we've lived together in this cave for so long..."
Song Ya's tears fell uncontrollably, and she didn't even know why she was saying these things.
She was scared to death; that black head was less than ten meters away from her, and those eyes were filled with murderous intent.
However, she couldn't forget how Zhou Kai had fought a wild boar in the woods to protect them, nor could she forget how he had swallowed that tube to protect everyone as well.
"We are a family on this Deserted Island."
"Bullshit!"
Yang Ningcong went completely mad, "What time is it and you're still talking about being a family?! He is a wolf now! A wolf that eats people!"
He no longer looked at Song Ya, instead staring fixedly at Lin Fan's back.
"Lin Fan! You promised! If he turns into a beast, you'll do it yourself! Did you forget?!"
Lin Fan did not look back.
All his attention was focused on the huge wolf head before him.
Yang Ningcong was right.
He had promised.
Killing him was currently the safest and most rational choice.
A clean break with no risks.
Song Ya was also right; he was Zhou Kai.
That Zhou Kai who carried logs and complained of being tired, bragged without batting an eye, but truly dared to risk his life for their survival at the critical moment.
But he couldn't gamble, and he couldn't afford to gamble.
That wolf seemed to have lost its patience, letting out a threatening low growl from its throat.
Lin Fan moved.
Reversing his grip on the hilt, his legs suddenly exerted force against the rock surface.
The explosive power of the Triple Enhancement was maxed out instantly; Lin Fan's entire body turned into a blur, leaping into the air toward that huge wolf head.
The blade pointed straight at those vertical pupils emitting a yellow-green fluorescent glow.
Just when the blade was less than half a meter away from the target...
