Chapter 284 A way out
Su Luoluo pursed her lips before continuing, "This matter should be a guidance from the gods. Do you remember the bird that carried me away in the Salt Well Cave before?"

Mo Xuan nodded. "Wasn't it supposed to be a childhood betrothal in Fufeng?"

"Yes, that's right. She held a grudge against me because of Fufeng's annulment of the engagement. She found the high shaman of their Flower Clan to cast a spell on me, trying to curse me to death with a wooden effigy. When Fufeng and I found out, we replaced the wooden effigy and let her suffer the consequences of her own actions."

"The gods told me that her mother, Gu Wanyi, was planning to go to the lower realm to seek revenge on me because of this matter."

"This is my fault, and I've dragged everyone into this."

Su Luoluo felt a little embarrassed when she said this.

This whole thing started because of her, but unexpectedly it dragged down the entire wolf clan.

After listening, Su Yang shook his head and said soberly, "Don't say this isn't your fault. Some things have a cause and an effect. With her mindset, even if you give in to her, she will still go to great lengths to cause you trouble."

As the leader of a clan, Su Yang had dealt with many people and had some understanding of human nature.

There's no way to avoid these things, and sometimes not only can you not avoid them, but your momentary retreat will make the other party think you're weak and easy to bully, and they'll bully you even more fiercely.

He frowned and said with a serious expression, "The Xuan Bird is one of the four great beasts of the Upper Domain. We are afraid that we will not have much chance of winning if we confront it head-on. We need to think about this matter carefully."

"Black Bird? What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I'll call my father over, and we Dragon Sparrows will fight them. They won't gain the upper hand." After hearing this, Fu Feng snorted coldly and said that it was nothing to be afraid of.

"You're really arrogant, even calling your father over. Are you sure he'll come to help?" Mo Xuan immediately poured cold water on Fu Feng's enthusiasm after hearing this.

The Dragon Sparrow is powerful, and the Black Bird is not weak either. Why would they risk their lives for a mere wolf clan?

It can only be said that Fufeng's thinking was too shallow.

Among powerful tribes, the most important thing is self-interest. Why would anyone help you if there are no tangible benefits?

“Why wouldn’t he help? Luo is my female, what reason does my father have not to help? Besides, Luo is pregnant with my baby. For that reason alone, it’s impossible for him not to help!” Fu Feng said righteously.

He refused to believe that his father wouldn't react, that the old man would remain unmoved upon hearing about his great-grandson.

With his support, Father had no choice but to agree to send someone out.

"What did you say? Luo Luo is pregnant with your baby?" Fu Feng said a lot, but this was the sentence that Mo Xuan heard the most.

He looked at Su Luoluo in surprise, and said with a bitter expression, "Luoluo, you're not being fair. You're pregnant with his little one so quickly."

Xiao Ye scoffed at this, "He just said it casually and you believed him? He himself told his elders that Luo Luo was pregnant, but he was just putting on a show. If his grandfather finds out about this lie, he might not be able to send anyone out."

"So what if it's an empty city ploy? They don't know if it's true or not. Besides, Luo Luo is my female, so it's only a matter of time before she gets pregnant with my cubs," Fu Feng retorted.

Luan Ting patted the little cub's head, which was crawling around, and shook his head, saying, "Even so, your father doesn't need to go against the Xuan Bird because of this. Luo Luo is pregnant with your cub, so taking her to the Upper Realm alone is also a good idea."

After listening, Su Yang sighed, "That's true. As the leader of a clan, I would do the same."

"What's there to be afraid of? If no one helps us, we can just hide. The mainland is so big, and they live in the trees all year round. They don't know the terrain as well as we do," Xiao Ye said casually, lifting his eyelids.

“You know what, although we birds and beasts live in trees all year round, we have very sharp eyes. We can easily find people by searching in the air,” Fu Feng said, not entirely agreeing.

Xi Yi thought for a moment: "If we can't hide, then let's set up an ambush. Fufeng, what weaknesses do you birds and beasts have?"

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. If you know the weaknesses of birds and beasts and set up ambushes accordingly, you might have a chance of survival.

After listening, Fu Feng stroked his chin and shook his head. "I don't think I can think of anything that we birds and beasts are afraid of."

Nantu listened for a long time, then pondered for a moment and said, "If we really want to hide, there is a place that is very suitable, and they will definitely not be able to find us."

"Where?" As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him.

“My hometown is the Boundless Sea. The sea is shrouded in fog all year round, making it impossible to see anyone. Moreover, those who go in often get lost. You land beastmen are probably not very familiar with the water, and even if you go in, you may not be able to come out. However, you may have to live in the water curtain.” “Hahaha, the sea, that’s a good place. Fufeng, you birds and beasts are probably not good swimmers and are afraid of water!” Mo Xuan laughed loudly after hearing this.

Fu Feng's face turned a little embarrassed after hearing what Mo Xuan said, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that birds and beasts were indeed not very good at swimming.

However, he didn't let Mo Xuan continue to mock him, and retorted coldly: "You talk as if you're a good swimmer. Can a leopard swim in the water?"

Mo Xuan fell silent instantly; he really didn't know how to do that.

Upon hearing this, Su Yang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he slapped his thigh in approval: "The sea! What a great place! With such a vast expanse of water, even if those black birds were blind, they would have a hard time spotting us!"

"When it comes to water, no one can rival you merfolk, not to mention your ability to bewitch people!"

"But isn't the Boundless Sea quite far from us? If we were to migrate there, wouldn't it take a long time?" Xi Yi asked after thinking for a moment.

"If we travel by water, it will take less than three days to get there."

“Waterway? Then there has to be water nearby, preferably leading to the sea,” Si Zheng said after thinking for a moment.

Su Luoluo used her water-based abilities to probe the area. "The nearest sea is to the east. It might take us ten days to get there."

"But ten days is too long. We might be caught by the Black Bird before we even reach the sea."

Bai Meng looked at Su Luoluo and said, "Actually, there is another place that leads directly to the sea, and it's very close."

"where?"

"When I was searching for the place where Hongshuang took Su Nuannuan to jump off the cliff, I discovered an underground river."

Su Luoluo actually wanted to mention this place too, since the system said Su Nuannuan went to the island from here, but she hadn't figured out how to say it yet, but Bai Meng spoke first.

"An underground river? Isn't that at the bottom of the cliff? How did you get down there?" Su Yang asked in surprise.

Bai Meng touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly: "Luo Luo asked me before if I had seen Su Nuannuan's body, so I went down the cliff to look for it."

She had only said it casually that day, but she didn't expect Bai Meng to take it to heart, which surprised Su Luoluo.

Seemingly realizing he had been too obvious, Bai Meng quickly added, "And Su Zhao has also been looking for Hong Shuang, so..."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhao, who had been keeping to himself, had his eyes light up. "Could it be that Hong Shuang might also be in the Dark River?"

Upon hearing this, Su Luoluo pursed her lips but ultimately remained silent.

Sometimes, it's good to keep the truth from people and give Su Zhao a glimmer of hope.

With the problem solved, Su Yang immediately made a decision: "That's settled then. I'll go and discuss the relocation with the tribe."

Su Luoluo nodded, then looked at Si Zheng: "You should also tell them about this. I'm sorry to them, I caused them to be implicated."

Si Zheng shook her head. "Leader, please don't say that. Our lives were given to us by you. If it weren't for you, we would be gone long ago."

The matter was urgent, so Si Zheng left after speaking.

The other beastmen realized the seriousness of the problem and dispersed to prepare.

Su Luoluo thought for a moment, then realized there was still a stumbling block: Lan Ya might not agree to go, given her personality. She needed to go and see her.

To her surprise, what she saw made her jaw drop.
