Chapter 185: Let’s Run, Fox (I)

---

    没有病痛折磨，没有生离死别，没有遗憾不甘，与爱人完完整整度过一生，这对尚可而言，还是经历这么多世界之后的第一次。

To not be tormented by illnesses. To not part from each other unwillingly due to death. To not have regrets and spend their entire lifetime together. This was the first time Shang Ke experienced such a thing through all the worlds he’s been in.

    尽管遭受过很多折磨，但他还是感谢系统让他遇到自己的爱人，并且一次次与他相爱。

After he had been tormented so much through various worlds, he still thanked the System for allowing him to meet his lover. For their chance to be together and love each other again and again.

    尚可带着满足和幸福离开那个世界，然而，他并没有直接进入系统空间，而是出现在一座山峰上，四周重峦叠嶂，云雾缭绕，壮阔的万里山河，尽在脚下。

Shang Ke left that world filled with satisfaction and happiness. However, he did not enter the System Space, rather, he appeared on top of a mountain. Ranges of mountains ranged from all sides with curling clouds and rivers that stretched for miles below him.

    这时，一双手臂从后面伸过来，抱住他的腰，耳边随即传来一个含笑的声音：“喜欢吗？这里以后就是我们静修之地。”

A pair of arms stretched out from behind him and held him by the waist. A joyful voice came from near his ear, “Do you like this? This will be where we cultivate from now on.”

    尚可转过头，想要看看身后之人的面目，但是回首间，眼前的画面又变了。他被男人护在怀里，无数道凌厉的青光在周围飞舞盘旋，交织成一张大网，将他们笼罩其中。庞大的威压向他们节节逼近，带着让人胆颤的杀气。

Shang Ke turned around in desire to see the man behind him, but the moment he turned around, the scene before his eyes changed again. He was protected in the man’s arms as countless lights of spiritual power orbited around them and weaved a large net that enveloped them. The pressuring power gradually closed in on them, carrying frightening killing intent.

    “辰霄、守默，我要让你们永世不得超生！”一个狠厉的怒喝声从光芒外传来。

“Chen Xiao, Shou Mo, I will end you so that you two can never reincarnate!” A viscous and angry voice came from the lights.

    尚可视线模糊，既看不清光芒外的人，也看不清光芒内的人，只感觉心情十分压抑，仿佛有什么危险的事情即将发生。

Shang Ke’s gaze blurred. He could not see the person controlling these lights, nor could he see the one by his side. He just felt very stifled like some great danger was about to happen.

    “守默，你相信我吗？”身边的男子问道。

“Shou Mo, do you trust me?” The man by his side asked.

    “当然。”尚可听到“自己”肯定的回答。

“Of course.” Shang Ke heard ‘his own’ assured reply.

    “那好，我们就和他赌一把。”

“Alright then, let’s make a bet with him.”

    “赌什么？”

“Betting on what?”

    “赌我们的生生世世。”

“Betting our lives and reincarnations.”

    随着他的话音落下，一阵撕心裂肺的疼痛猛地向尚可袭来……

As the last of his words were spoken, a heart-splitting pain tore into Shang Ke.

    尚可大汗淋漓地醒过来，看着眼前熟悉的系统空间，脸上露出惊疑不定的表情。

Shang Ke woke up in cold sweat. The scene he saw was the familiar System Space as a bewildered and confused expression took over his face.

    “系统，刚才是怎么回事？”

“System, what was that just now?”

    系统：【宿主指的是什么？系统不明白。】

System: 【What is Host asking about? The System doesn’t understand.】

    尚可：“……我刚才梦见一个叫‘辰霄’和一个叫‘守默’的人。”

Shang Ke: “…I had a dream about someone named Chen Xiao and Shou Mo.”

    系统：【……他们是谁？】

System: 【…Who are they?】

    尚可：“系统，你不知道自己每次说谎的时候，都会出现诡异的停顿吗？”

Shang Ke: “System, have you not noticed that when you lie, you have a strange pause before answering?”

    系统：【系统从不说谎，只是无法回答。有关“辰霄”和“守默”的疑问，请宿主自行寻找答案。】

System: 【The System never lies, it merely is unable to give an answer. As for the question of Chen Xiao and Shou Mo, please find the answers yourself Host.】

    尚可默默朝系统竖了两根中指，不过被系统自动打了马赛克。

Shang Ke silently raised two middle fingers to the System, but they were auto censored by the System.

    他这次没有询问自己还需要完成多少次任务，因为他现在不希望任务结束。一旦结束，或许就意味着他再也见不到“他”了。想到这个可能，他宁愿继续承受折磨，永赴轮回。

He did not ask how many more missions he needed to do, because he no longer wished for his missions to end. The moment it ended, perhaps that would be the last of his meetings with ‘him’. When he thought of that possibility, he would rather continue to be tormented and reincarnate forever.

.    休息几天后，尚可又进入百炼空间，学习他感兴趣的技能。

After resting for a few days, he once again went into the Hundred Training Space, learning the skills he was interested in. 

   如今的他堪称移动技能库，掌握了大大小小几十种的技能。无论是生活、竞技、战斗、文学艺术等等，差不多都能信手拈来。当然，根据偏好不同，技能高低也有差异。

The current him was pretty much a walking skill library as he learned dozens of skills. No matter if it was for day-to-day life, athletics, combat, literature, art and so on, he had learned almost all of them. Of course, there were skills he preferred so they were all mastered to varying degrees.

    尚可比较喜欢手操类的技能，比如修理组装、射击、炼金、驾驶、设计、编程、乐器、烹饪等等。至于其他技能，基本都是在系统的督促下完成的，说不上有多精通。

Shang Ke liked skills that were more hands-on, such as repairing, assembling and installing. Shooting, alchemy, piloting and driving, design, programming, music instruments, cooking and so on. As for other skills that he had learned under the System’s supervision, he wasn’t a master but he at least knew them.

    完成新一轮的技能培训后，尚可再次进入新的世界。

After completing a new round of training, Shang Ke once again entered a new world.

    扑通一声，尚可感觉自己重重摔倒在地，随即闻到泥土和青草的气息。

With a thud, Shang Ke fell to the ground. The smell of dirt and grass immediately filled his nose.

    睁开眼，眼前是一片绿色，阳光透过茂密的树叶，零零散散地洒下几点光芒。在他身后，传来一阵阵杂乱的喊杀声和金铁交击声，似乎有一群人正在激战。

Green filled his eyes when he opened them up. Sunshine shone through the dense trees and mottled the ground. From behind him were sounds of war cries and weapons clashing. Sounds like they were fighting rather hard.

    从兵器的响声和周围原始风貌的环境来判断，他所进入的这个世界应该正处于冷兵器时代。

From the sounds of the weapons and the environment around him, he could conclude that the era he entered was a more ancient one.

    系统很快将信息传输过来。

The System quickly sent him information.

    这是一颗还未开发的原始星，生活着一群拥有两种身体形态的兽人。他们以部落为单位，居住在大陆各个角落，人口稀少，一个部落最多不过500人。

This was an undeveloped primitive planet and the inhabitants of this planet were beastmen who had two forms. Their populations are made up of tribes and live all over the continent. But their numbers remain low, each tribe would have a max population of five hundred.

    尚可这次穿越成为一名狐族兽人，名叫“亚努”，他的家园被其他部落占领，一个人在外流浪了几个月，最后被狮族收留。因为他天生不能说话，加上性格自卑，在狮族中颇受歧视。但为了生存，他只能默默忍受，活得毫无存在感。

Shang Ke was transmigrated into a fox beastman named Yanu. His home was taken over by another tribe and he wandered by himself for a couple months until the lion tribe offered him shelter. Because of his birth defect, he was a mute. Adding in his pessimistic nature, he was rather discriminated against in the lion tribe. But to survive, he could only silently endure it and live without a presence.

    一次跟随狮王穆图外出狩猎，半路遭到雉狗族的突袭，狮族十几名青壮年全部牺牲，只有穆图侥幸逃过。至于亚努，则在战斗发生时，凭借灵巧的身手趁机逃出了包围圈。

He had followed the Lion King Mutu out to hunt one time, but on the way they were ambushed by the avanis. The dozen of youthful lions all died while Mutu was lucky enough to escape. As for Yanu, he was able to escape using his nimbleness from encirclement while the battle was happening.

    原本以狮族的战斗力，不应该败得如此惨烈。但部落内部有人与雉狗族暗中勾结，将狮族的路线透露给了他们。雉狗族便在他们必经之路设下埋伏，用蜘蛛花的香气掩盖自身的气味，又用毒箭发起第一波攻势，而后利用高出狮族数倍的人数群起攻之，这才导致他们几乎全军覆没。

With the lion’s battle prowess, they shouldn’t have been defeated so tragically. But someone from the lion tribe colluded with the avanis and leaked the route they were taking. The avanis setted up an ambush on the route they were taking. They used spider flower’s scent to hide their scent and used poisoned arrows for their first round of attacks. Following that was an attack of numbers which led to the lion’s almost complete wipeout.

    事实上，原主亚努虽然逃跑了，但他并不是真的弃同伴于不顾，而是拼命赶回狮族，将狮王受袭的消息告诉部落，让他们派人援救，同时注意警戒。

Although the original Yanu had escaped, he was not just abandoning them to their fates. He did his best to return to the lion tribe and bring the news to them so they could send people to help and also be on guard.

    然而，部落中那名与雉狗族勾结的人，正是狮王穆图的弟弟西特，他见亚努狼狈地跑回来，立刻明白发生了什么事。亚努是个哑巴，无法将情况表达清楚，西特心念一动，直接就将他当作奸细关押起来。然后带着人，装模作样地去救援，等到了地方，众人只看到一地血迹，却连一具尸体都找不到。

However, the one in the tribe that colluded with the avanis was the Lion King Mutu’s younger brother Xite. When he saw Yanu’s return, he immediately understood what happened. Yanu was a mute so he could not explain the situation vocally. Xite immediately thought up something and framed Yanu as a spy and imprisoned him. Then, he led a group of people and put on a show of going to save his brother. When they arrived at the location, all they found was blood and not a single body.

    雉狗族是兽人族中最为残忍的一支，他们生性好杀，而且喜欢啃食兽人的血肉。无论哪个种族的兽人，一旦被他们杀死都会变成他们的食物。

The avani tribe was the cruelest tribe out of them all and were inclined to killing for pleasure. They also liked to eat the flesh of their kills. No matter which tribe it was, they would all turn into their food once they were killed.

    所以，如果找不到尸体，那就代表这场战斗是雉狗族胜利了。狮族众人的尸体，都被他们带走了。

As such, if they couldn’t find any bodies, it meant that the avani tribe were the victors. The corpses of the lion tribe were all carried away by them.

    西特表面悲愤，心中暗喜，以复仇的名义，团结族人，进而取代穆图，成为狮族的新王。亚努则被当作宣泄族人仇恨的工具，当众施以火刑，带着背叛者的污点死不瞑目。

While Xite showed grief and indignation on the surface, his heart was full of satisfaction. In the name of revenge, he united his tribesman and replaced Mutu’s leadership as the new King. Yanu was used as the target of the tribe’s hate and was burned at the stake in public, branded as a traitor as he died in injustice.

    就在西特统领部落，打算大干一场时，雉狗族出尔反尔，反过来利用西特，血洗了狮族部落，数百名狮族人被残杀，其他人纷纷逃走，各奔东西。曾经威震一方的狮族，一夜之间崩分离析。

Right when Xite took over command of the tribe and decided to show his authority, the avani tribe went back on their agreement and exploited Xite in return. They massacred the hundreds of members of the lion tribe and the remainder scattered to the winds to escape. The once powerful lion tribe collapsed in a single night.

    西特带着残余势力，龟缩一隅，不敢再与雉狗族为敌。

Xite led the remaining members of his command and holed up. He no longer dared to become enemies with the avanis.

    几年后，侥幸逃过一劫的狮王穆图伤愈回归，快速收拢散落的族人，重新建立部落，养精蓄悦，最后将雉狗族一举歼灭，夺回了他们的家园。

A couple years later, Lion King Mutu who had a lucky escape and had healed up, returned to gather his scattered tribesman and reestablished the tribe. They steadily gathered up power and finally wiped out the avani tribe in one swoop and regained their home.

    穆图之所以迟迟没有返回部落，一是因为身受重伤，二是因为猜到族中有奸细，只是他并不知道这个奸细是自己的弟弟西特。

The reason why Mutu didn’t return to the tribe for so long was first due to his serious injuries, and second, he had a vague feeling that their tribe had a spy. But he didn’t know that the spy was his own younger brother Xite.

    一名受伤的狮王回到部落是很危险的，因为其他觊觎王座的族人很有可能会向他挑战。这是狮族内部的残酷竞争，狮王之战不能拒绝，即使身受重伤，也必须接受挑战。以穆图当时的状态，一旦接受挑战，必然是九死一生。

It was dangerous for an injured Lion King to return to the tribe because other members of the tribe that desired the throne might challenge him for it. This was the cruel competition within the tribe. A challenge for the throne cannot be refused even if the Lion King was seriously injured. With Mutu’s current condition, the moment he accepts a challenge would be when he loses his life.

    所以，他打算先养好伤，再返回部落，重振旗鼓。只是他没想到雉狗族居然会血洗狮族。等他伤势痊愈后，狮族的领土已经被雉狗族占据了。

As such, he chose to nurse his injuries first then return to the tribe and go to war with the pheasants. But he never expected the avani tribe to have already massacred most of the lion tribe. By the time he recovered, the territory of the lion tribe was already occupied by them.

    系统传输的信息到此为止，尚可不知道穆图最后有没有发现西特就是那个奸细。至于原主，完全成了阴谋的牺牲品，连为自己声辩的机会也没有。

The information transmitted by the System ended at that. Shang Ke did not find out if Mutu learned that Xite was the spy in the end. As for the original Yanu, he was a sacrifice for the plot to move forward and never had a chance to fight back for himself.

    尚可穿越的时间，正是狮王遇袭的时候，原主亚努抛下他的同伴，一个人逃出包围圈，半路摔了一跤，然后尚可就过来了。

The time Shang Ke landed in was right when they had suffered an attack. The original had abandoned everyone and escaped the encirclement by himself and fell after he got out.

    【主线任务——保护狮族领土不受侵犯。】

【Main Mission—Protect the Lion Tribe’s territory from invasion.】

    尚可如今对各种任务已经习以为常，能不能完成暂且不提，目前最重要的，是改变自己在狮王心中的形象。

Shang Ke was already used to the various missions given by the System. Whether or not he can complete this mission can be put aside, what was most important right now was to change the image the Lion King had of him.

    原主对狮族而言，是一个外族人，不会说话，性格也不讨喜，毫无存在感。经过这次逃跑事件，估计还得加上一个“贪生怕死”的评价。

The original was an outsider to the tribe. He was mute and did not have a loveable personality and lacked any presence. He probably had to add on a coward label to him after this escape event.

    尚可翻身而起，动作轻巧地蹿进树丛，快速锁定一名躲藏在树梢上的雉狗族人，然后悄悄摸了上去……

Shang Ke rolled onto his feet and agily leaped into the thicket. He quickly locked onto a avani tribesman hidden within a tree and quietly climbed up… 

    穆图的手臂上中了一支毒箭，身上也受了好几处刀斧伤，伤口处血肉模糊，鲜血淋漓。

Mutu’s arm had a poison arrow stuck while his body also had countless hatchet wounds. His wounds were badly mangled and dripping with blood.

    看着族人一个个倒在雉狗族的犬牙下，他心中怒火滔天，表情狰狞如恶鬼，一连击杀好几名雉狗。然而毒素的入侵，让他的意识越来越模糊，战斗力也直线下降。

Watching his tribesman dying one by one to the avani tribe, rage filled his heart and his expression was twisted like an evil spirit as he killed several avanis in a row. However, with the poison in his system, his consciousness blurred more and more as he got weaker and weaker.

    穆图被好几名雉狗围攻，其中一人趁他还来不及回力之时，突然从背后冲过来，挥起斧头，直直砍向他的脖子。

Mutu was besieged by several avanis and one of them took the chance to rush at his back when he was weak to chop at his neck with his raised ax.

    正在这时，一支利箭带着破风之声，疾射而来，从穆图眼尾划过，射中后面那名雉狗的手腕，只听一声惨叫，斧头哐当落地。

Right at this moment, a sharp arrow whistled through the air and flew by from the corner of Mutu’s eye. It struck the wrist of that avani who screamed as his ax clattered to the ground.

    穆图也顾不上查看箭矢的来源，一个鲤鱼打滚捡起地上那把斧头，挥手横扫，将正欲围杀上来的雉狗击退。

Mutu had no time to check where that arrow came from. He immediately picked up that dropped ax and waved an arc around him, killing the ones that tried to come up and attack him.

    此时，雉狗们还不知道刚才射箭的人是尚可，只以为是哪个傻逼手指抽筋，射错了目标。

At the moment, the avanis had not noticed that the one that shot the arrow was Shang Ke. They thought some idiot had a finger cramp and shot the wrong target.

    直到第二箭、第三箭相继射中了围击穆图的雉狗，他们才意识到情况不妙。

But then the second, third and following arrows all hit the avanis surrounding Mutu. They finally realized that things were bad.

    “林子里有他们的人！”一名头领模样的雉狗怒吼一声，立刻有几人朝尚可所在的方向冲去。

“They have someone in the woods!” A avani that looked like the commander bellowed and immediately had some people head for where Shang Ke was.

    尚可从树上跳下来，捡起刚刚被他干掉的那名雉狗的大刀，在空中甩了几个刀花，然后潇洒地向敌人迎了上去。

Shang Ke jumped down from the tree and picked up the sword dropped by a avani he killed. He swung it a few times then confidently charged at his enemies.

    穆图这时才知道刚才射箭的人，竟然是他原本以为临阵脱逃的亚努。

Only now did Mutu find out that the one shooting arrows was the Yanu who he thought had escaped.

    见他刀起刀落，动作利落地将冲向他的雉狗一一击退，穆图暗暗吃惊，没想到亚努居然拥有这样的战斗力。

Watching his sword strikes that easily beat back the avanis, Mutu was amazed. He didn’t expect Yanu to have this kind of battle prowess.

    不过此时，也容不得他多想，身边的族人已经牺牲大半，而雉狗族还有五、六十人，接下来将是一场不死不休的生死血战……

But he didn’t think much about it. Over half of his tribesman had already died, while the avanis still have fifty to sixty men left. What continued will be an endless battle for life and death… 

SnowTime: Avanis used to be birdogs when I first translated this. Yeah, I don’t have much of a naming sense. I combined Aves and Canidae to make avani which sounds nicer at least. Thank you very much for the donations~ It really helps out with the family finance situation… *why can’t I be rich cries*
