Chapter 244 Sky Mist Canyon
Xuan Yuanming frowned, as he was never good at comforting people, especially at times like this.

But she still stepped forward and patted Bai Qi on the shoulder: "Please accept my condolences."

Xuanfeng also said in a low voice, "Third Prince, the old Beast King passed away peacefully, so don't be too sad."

Bai Qi suddenly turned to look at Xuan Yuanming, his black hair falling over his shoulders, his usually smiling fox eyes now completely red, his expression full of complex emotions.

The grudge of having his tail severed should have filled him with resentment, but he couldn't muster the slightest hostility at this moment.

"you"

His voice was hoarse, as if he wanted to say something.

Suddenly turning his head to look at the spot where Chu Youyou had been lying, he found it empty and his eyes turned cold: "Where is that slut?"

“It was there just now.”

Xuan Yuanming frowned and scanned the hall, but couldn't find Chu Youyou: "She probably escaped when we weren't paying attention."

The palace doors were wide open, and the night wind carried in the stench of blood.

Bai Qi's ten fox tails burst open behind him like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, and his voice was chilling: "Issue the order to conduct a city-wide manhunt!"

The old Beast King passed on his throne on his deathbed, and Bai Qi became the new Beast King. Naturally, no one dared to disobey his orders, and people quickly went down from outside the hall to carry them out.

The entire Beast King City sprang into action, beginning a frantic search for Chu Youyou.

No one knew that Chu Youyou had already crushed the teleportation talisman and teleported to another place.

Inside the Beast King's Palace.

"Your Highness."

Xuanfeng stepped forward. "Miss Xiyue asked me to tell you that the Wolf Tribe is relocating to Sky Mist Valley. Please meet them there afterward. Also—"

He looked at Xuanyuan Ming, "The Phoenix Clan sent Chi Yu to take your heart's blood."

"court death."

A murderous glint flashed in Xuan Yuanming's dark golden eyes.

But he couldn't help thinking: Why would the Phoenix Clan need his heart's blood?

But since Yue'er sent someone to deliver the message, it must be true.

Bai Qi wiped the blood from the old beast king's vomit from the back of his hand, then suddenly cupped his hands to Xuan Yuanming: "Thank you for earlier."

Xuanyuan Ming raised an eyebrow: "You don't hate me for tying your tail anymore?"

"One yard owned by a yard."

Bai Qi put away his fox tail, turned around and walked towards the old beast king's body. "I'll go arrange my father's funeral. You can do as you please."

Xuanfeng also said, "I still have to rush to Tianwu Valley. The Phoenix Clan might attack at any time."

"I'll go with you, come on up."

Xuanyuan Ming transformed into a dragon and flew out of the Beast King's Palace. His dragon tail swept Xuanfeng onto his back, and they flew away.

.........

The first rays of morning sunlight filtered through the dense canopy of trees, dappling the winding mountain road.

After a night of trekking, the wolf tribe's caravan finally arrived at the mysterious and unpredictable Sky Mist Canyon at dawn.

The morning mist, like a veil, shrouded the two towering cliffs, and the entrance to the canyon was so narrow that only three people could walk side by side.

The damp mist carried the scent of decaying vegetation, and a strange "gulping" sound could be faintly heard from the depths, like some giant beast swallowing its saliva.

"Everyone be careful, the miasma here is poisonous."

Mo Lin led the way at the front of the group, loudly reminding them.

Xuanming curled his lip and laughed dismissively, "What's there to be afraid of if it's poisonous? This little bit of miasma is nothing."

Even so, he obediently ate the antidote herbs distributed by the witch doctor.

After all, nobody wants to risk their life.

Besides Ye Ling accidentally swallowing the golden pearl, which granted her immunity to all poisons.

The entire wolf tribe, regardless of age or gender, consumed the antidote herbs distributed by the shaman.

The witch doctor looked at the empty animal skin bag and shook his head, saying, "Luckily, the old man prepared enough antidotes, otherwise there wouldn't be enough to go around."

As early as when he learned that the tribe was going to migrate to the miasma-ridden Tianwu Valley, he had been searching all over the mountains for antidotes, and now they were coming in handy.

The group slowly entered the canyon, where the fog grew thicker and the visibility was less than five steps.

The females supported each other, their complaints never ceasing—

"How can anyone live in this godforsaken place where you can't even see the road?"

Mi Yao stepped into a mud puddle, her brand-new deerskin boots covered in sticky mud that she couldn't shake off. Furious, her face darkened several shades. "My boots!"

The female next to him rolled her eyes: "You're about to die and you're still thinking about boots? You'll behave yourself when those hairy beasts from the Upper Realm come and burn you to death."

"that is!"

The older female, leaning on a wooden cane, walked with uneven steps. "The chief said that this miasma can mask our presence, and those feathered beasts from the Upper Realm Phoenix Clan will definitely not be able to find us!"

Su Xiyue was carrying three wolf cubs and walking in the middle of the group when she suddenly heard a soft "click" sound from above.

"careful!"

Xuanming, who was protecting her, suddenly pulled her to the side.

"boom!"

A rotten piece of giant wood crashed down where she had just been standing, splashing mud all over Mi Yao, who happened to be walking nearby.

Mi Yao blankly wiped her face, looked at her dirty dress and mud-covered body, stared at Su Xiyue with her eyes fixed on her, and screamed, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

Su Xiyue blinked and looked innocently at Mi Yao: "What does it have to do with me that it fell down by itself? Who told you to dodge so slowly?"

Mi Yao's face turned ashen with anger. She turned and glared at Langya beside her. "You're such a waste. Even males know how to protect females, but you're like a block of wood."

Seeing that his boots were covered in mud, for some reason, he wiped them on Wolf Fang's body. When he saw that they were much cleaner, he nodded in satisfaction.

Even the mud splattered on the animal skin skirt was wiped clean off Du Langya's body.

While her older sister Mia was alive, she always suppressed her true nature and lived cautiously.

After Mia's death, her true nature was almost fully revealed, making her even more wicked than her sister Mia.

Now she's openly with Langya. However, she no longer treats Langya with the gentleness and tenderness she once did; instead, she's bossy and domineering.

It would be a lie to say that Langya didn't regret it. If he had known that Mi Yao was so despicable, he would never have had an affair with her.

He didn't dodge, letting Mi Yao wipe the mud all over his body.

It's not that I'm not angry, it's just that if he dares to resist, he probably won't be able to "eat meat" for the next month.

"So filthy!"

Mi Yao waved her hand dismissively, then suddenly noticed the three wolf cubs in Su Xiyue's arms and couldn't help but sneer, "Some people really know how to enjoy life, giving birth to their cubs and then dumping them on the tribe to raise."

"Shut up."

Qingzhu couldn't stand it any longer. Her emerald eyes swept over her, and a gust of wind blade at her fingertips severed a strand of her hair. "If you make any more noise, I'll throw you out of the canyon to feed the vultures."

I couldn't help but think that Mi Yao wasn't like this before. Every time I saw her, she was very quiet, or she would secretly hide in some corner and cry. She seemed very timid, and she didn't even speak loudly.

She's completely changed now, and she's become more and more annoying, even more annoying than her sister Mia.

It can only be said that their true nature has been suppressed for too long, and once it is released, their behavior is naturally even worse.

Mi Yao immediately fell silent, shrinking her neck and hiding behind Langya.

Yunxiang shook her head speechlessly, silently moved away from Mi Yao, and then moved closer to Su Xiyue. The two walked and talked quietly.

The Tianwu Canyon has a complex terrain, with dense ancient trees reaching for the sky and thick vines intertwining into a net that blocks most of the sunlight, making the canyon dimly lit and adding to its mystique.

The old priest, holding a bone staff, walked along, tapping the ground as he went, seemingly searching for something.

Su Lie frowned, his eyes scanning his surroundings warily, fearing that some ferocious beast might suddenly leap out.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out at the front of the line.

"There's a swamp!"

Mo Lin's snake tail coiled around two cubs that were about to get stuck. "Everyone, follow my route."

Su Xiyue stood on tiptoe and looked out. She could vaguely see bubbles rising from a dark black mud pit in the mist, and the stench of decay made her dizzy.

Several old orcs were probing the way with long wooden sticks, the dry branches making a "glug" sound as they poked into the mud.

"Moon, bring the baby up here, I'll fly you over."

Ye Ling suddenly walked over, transforming into an ancient silver moon wolf, with a third eye growing between its brows and a pair of bone wings sprouting from its back, exuding the aura of an eighth-tier beastman.

This appearance and strength made all the beastmen in the wolf tribe extremely envious.

Mi Yao stared wide-eyed at Ye Ling's majestic ancient silver moon wolf form, thinking to herself how wonderful it would be if he were her beast husband.

The thought of flying around in the sky and on the ground is incredibly exciting.

Unfortunately, it wasn't him; it was still Su Xiyue's beastly husband. Her eyes reddened with envy: "He just got lucky."

The words have not yet fallen.

Green bamboo suddenly swept past her, its emerald eyes glancing sideways at her: "If I hear you gossiping again—"

The wind blade at his fingertips severed Mi Yao's second strand of hair.

Yunxiang chuckled and whispered in Su Xiyue's ear, "Doesn't she look like a straw that's been chewed by a dog?"

Su Xiyue looked at Mi Yao's unevenly cut hair and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It really does look like her."

Mi Yao stomped her feet in anger, about to retort with a sarcastic remark.

He was then thrown onto his back by the wolf fang that had transformed into its true form, which spoke in human language: "Stop fooling around, there's a swamp ahead, I'll take you there."

Su Xiyue carried the three wolf cubs and climbed onto Ye Ling's back. Her silvery-white bone wings unfolded, gleaming coldly in the morning light.

The three wolf cubs excitedly tugged at Ye Ling's fur, letting out "howls" from their throats, clearly extremely excited.

Night Feather Bone Wings stirred up air currents, carrying Su Xiyue and the three wolf cubs across the swamp.

A damp, cold mist rushed towards them, and the three fluffy little creatures excitedly clung to their father's mane, their little tails wagging like a whirlwind.

"pay close attention."

Ye Ling spoke in human language, her silver eyes sweeping over the stark white bones floating in the mud below.

She squinted, tightly protecting the three wolf cubs in her arms.

Suddenly noticing that its leader, Silverblade, was trying to climb towards the edge of the bone wing, it grabbed Silverblade by the scruff of its neck in fright: "You little rascal, are you out of your mind?"

"Ouch!"

Silverblade withdrew its claws, looking aggrieved, and turned to bite the bone chain on her wrist, making a "crunching" sound, but failed to break it.

Su Xiyue chuckled and rubbed its head. "Stop biting it. This is a token of love that your father gave me."

As they spoke, Ye Ling had already carried them across the swamp and landed steadily on the opposite bank.

Xuanming and several single beastmen transformed into their true forms and ran back and forth across the swamp, using vines to build makeshift bridges for the other beastmen to cross.

Qingzhu then led the other females, as well as the old, weak, sick, and disabled, slowly across the swamp.

Once everyone had safely crossed the swamp, the group continued onward.

Along the way, they encountered many dangers, including venomous snakes and wild beasts, as well as poisonous miasma lurking in the shadows.

Fortunately, with Mo Lin, a poison expert, there, the crisis was always resolved in time.

The wolf tribe's group wandered through the winding, misty canyons for nearly three hours before finally finding a relatively safe place.

This is a valley surrounded by cliffs on all sides, with a clear lake inside. The lake water is as green as jade, and ancient trees stand tall all around, blocking out the sun.

"Let's settle down here for now."

Su Lie looked around at the surroundings and continued, "This place is backed by a cliff and blocked by a swamp in front. Even if those feathered beasts of the Phoenix Clan come looking for us, they'll be in for a world of hurt."

He turned to the priest: "Old friend, what do you think?"

The priest, who was tapping the ground with his bone staff, looked up and squinted at his surroundings upon hearing this: "The terrain is good, but it's a bit damp. However—"

He suddenly grinned, revealing three yellow teeth, "There are fish in this lake!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; having a water source meant they could survive.

"Don't just stand there!"

Su Lie waved his hand and said, "The males go cut down trees to build a shelter, and the females pack up and prepare to start a fire!"
