The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 654 A Faint Glimmer

Roger's cold, lifeless body lay there quietly.

The terrible wound on his chest, caused by the erosion of the Beast God's power and the backlash of his own energy, remained gaping and showed no signs of healing.

However, deep within that wound, near the heart, there seemed to be an extremely faint, dim light, flickering very slowly, like a candle in the wind.

The light was so faint that it almost blended into the surrounding shadows, but it did exist, and at an extremely slow and extremely weak pace, it was drawing in the chaotic energy dissipating from the surrounding air, the residual energy from the explosion, and... the life essence that had not yet completely dissipated from Roger's body.

At the same time, his hand, which had been tightly gripping the energy stone and was now unable to open, twitched almost imperceptibly and extremely slightly at the fingertips.

The amplitude was so small it resembled a hallucination, more like the final nerve reflexes of a corpse before it completely stiffened.

A night breeze blew, causing the branches and leaves covering the groove to sway gently. A sliver of pale moonlight peeked through, briefly illuminating Roger's pale face...

In the distance, the clamor of the beast army under the Beast God's command could be faintly heard.

Under the cover of the dense forest, Bai Wanwan, closely escorted by Chief Rong, Yin Ze, and Jin Yi, moved like a stealthy leopard in the night, skillfully avoiding the beast army that wandered aimlessly through the forest like headless flies.

A faint scent of blood and rage filled the air, a warning of impending danger.

“There’s a cliff ahead, which provides a good view of the elephant tribe. You take the females and rest here while I go scout ahead.”

Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) could not get close to Wanwan and could only watch as several males protected her tightly.

Having endured it all the way, he decided to go out alone to release his emotions.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

After this accident, Chief Rong was worried about letting Wanwan out of his sight again.

He would be more than happy to have Jin Ying do the scouting.

Not long after, Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) returned silently and whispered to the waiting group, "Their main force seems to be retreating. Although there are still small groups wandering around, the offensive has clearly stopped."

Before the other males could speak, Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) spoke again, his voice carrying a calm insight: "Perhaps the Beast God was severely injured by Roger's counterattack before his death, and his energy is unstable, making it unable to maintain such large-scale control."

The chieftain's eyes flashed suddenly, like a tiger spotting its prey. His sharp gaze turned towards the direction the beast army had retreated, and his tone carried an uncontrollable fighting spirit: "Now... isn't this the best time to attack the Beast God and eliminate future troubles?"

He was tempted; if he could strike while the enemy was weakened and kill him, he could undoubtedly eliminate the greatest threat.

Bai Wanwan immediately sensed his dangerous intentions, grabbed his strong arm tightly, shook her head vigorously at him, and said urgently and firmly, "No! Now is definitely not a good time!"

“Hmm? Wanwan,” the chieftain tried to reassure and persuade her, “He’s seriously injured, this is a rare opportunity… Don’t worry, we…”

"Listen to me!" Bai Wanwan interrupted him, her gaze sweeping over Yin Ze and Jin Yi, who also looked thoughtful and even subtly in agreement. Her voice was clear and calm.

“That Beast God is extremely strange! He possesses terrifying self-healing abilities! Both Ember Shadow and I have witnessed it firsthand, and we have no idea how badly Roger injured him or how long we can hold him off! What if he has already recovered by the time we arrive?”

She frowned and continued to explain the pros and cons: "His strength far surpasses that of a Crimson Rank cultivator; it's unfathomable. Besides, he has so many controlled, fearless beastmen under his command! The risk is too great; I don't want you to take that risk!"

She noticed the men's eyes darting around, clearly indicating they hadn't completely given up on the adventurous idea, and she grew anxious.

"None of you are allowed to go, I have a plan..."

She had intended to say that if the Beast God could hold back for a while longer, giving her and her Crimson-Rank Beast Husbands enough time to gestate and raise their cubs, they would possess even greater combat power in the future, at which point their advantage would be undeniable. Delaying the process would be more advantageous for them.

However, due to the presence of Jin Ying, and because there were some personal secrets she couldn't reveal, she couldn't speak openly about them.

She changed her approach, concluding confidently, "Let's go back first. Give us enough time to grow stronger and accumulate power. When the beast army comes then, they'll be courting death!"

Looking at the determined light in her eyes and weighing the logic in her words, the chieftain pondered for a moment, then finally squeezed her hand back and made a decision: "Alright, you're right. We were blinded by the 'opportunity' before us. Let's go back and discuss this further."

The atmosphere remained heavy on the way back.

Chief Rong said in a heavy tone to Ember Shadow, who was walking beside him, "The Elephant Clan has suffered heavy losses this time, and their strength has been greatly weakened. You... I'm afraid you can't withstand another attack from the Beast Army."

Upon hearing this, Jin Ying's heart tightened, and a trace of worry flashed in his silver-gray eyes.

He was indeed eager to return to the tribe immediately. He had fought in the Beast Army's final assault and had managed to kill many high-ranking males to alleviate the pressure.

But without seeing the tribe's situation firsthand, his heart remained uneasy.

On their way back, to avoid any possible beastman patrols, they chose a relatively secluded path.

However, they hadn't gone far when they heard a suppressed, painful panting sound coming from behind the bushes ahead.

The group immediately became alert.

Yin Ze stealthily moved forward to investigate like a ghost, and quickly returned, whispering, "There are seven or eight high-level males ahead, all of them are seriously injured, and... their eyes are dull and their movements are slow."

Jin Ying's eyes sharpened, a cold killing intent flashing within them.

He had no pity for these beastmen who were controlled by the beast god and attacked his people.

His innate power surged, ready to eliminate these hidden dangers directly.

In his view, this is the safest and most direct way to handle it.

"and many more!"

Bai Wanwan's clear voice rang out just in time, stopping his actions.

She strode forward, her gaze sweeping over the disheveled, vacant-eyed yet still powerful-looking men, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes.

These are all high-level combatants; they're resources delivered right to our doorstep!
Killing them like that is such a waste!

Her mind raced, and she quickly weighed her options.

Considering that Ember Shadow had just saved him, they had established a basic level of trust with each other, and he might need the Elephant Clan's strength in the future.

After a slight hesitation, she ultimately decided to take the risk and demonstrate some of her abilities in front of him.

She pretended to take the bottle containing the light blue medicine from her purse.

Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) watched her actions, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He had just hugged her, so how come Wanwan has such a big bottle on her?
