After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 169 Suspicion Arises at Xingduan

Han Mengshen spoke urgently, his breath coming in ragged gasps.

Sang Tian suddenly recalled the original owner's awakened memories of her past life. A month before the natural disaster struck, all the strange beasts on the Floating Islands had greatly increased in strength.

As a result, no female dared to bring her beast mate into the Floating Islands for two months to improve her strength.

Now Sang Tian was certain that Xing Duan had become suspicious.

"What are you all standing there for?" Han Mengshen asked, his voice growing increasingly anxious as he saw Sang Tian standing there in a daze.

Leopard Zemin calmly replied, "Do we need to fear them given our strength?"

"Of course we're scared," Sang Tian interrupted, then looked at Han Mengshen, "Take us to the safe place you found. We haven't been there for thirty minutes yet, so we can't get out."

Han Mengshen nodded. "Stay close to me."

"Go and inform your brother and the others first. My friend is still with your brother." Sang Tian thought of Tang Xiaoyan and Han Mengyuan.

The four quickly joined Tang Xiaoyan and her group of four, and the group headed to the security center.

On the way there, Sang Tian repeatedly and carefully recalled the original owner's awakened memories, worried about missing important details.

After much recollection, Sang Tian was certain that the Floating Islands had exhibited unusual behavior a month before the natural disaster.

Based on Tang Xiaoyan's current actions, Sang Tian suspects that she brought Lu Mian to the zombie island some time ago and did something to it, which is why Xing Duan is suspicious.

With so many people around, Sang Tian couldn't easily ask Tang Xiaoyan.

Sang Tian sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the dark sea.

Bao Zemin sat down next to her. "Scared?"

Sang Tian gathered her thoughts and, without hiding her emotions in front of those close to her, gave a soft "hmm."

Do you know how strong those strange beasts are now?

Seeing Sang Tian's serious expression, Bao Zeming guessed, "It seems she's above S-rank."

“I’m not sure, but from what I remember, almost no one was able to get back from the Floating Islands, and it will continue for a long time.”

Bao Zemin choked up, wanting to ask more questions.

Tang Xiaoyan walked over with two bottles of water. "What are you talking about? Have some water first."

Sang Tian took the water, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Han Mengshen and Han Mengyuan were watching them.

"Thank you," Sang Tian said, choosing to keep it a secret for the time being. "We were talking about what to have for dinner."

Tang Xiaoyan had no doubts. "Are you two so serious about dinner? I thought you were discussing something important when I saw you two looking like that."

She was mainly worried that something had happened when she saw that even the usually unserious Bao Zemin had become serious.

"Tian Tian, ​​could the beast's increased strength be related to that?" Tang Xiaoyan asked, pointing to the sky and alluding to the stars.

Sang Tian noticed that the two were still eavesdropping, but didn't say anything.

"I don't know either, but it's the only thing we can control. Maybe it's related to the acid rain. Isn't acid rain supposed to stimulate strange beasts?"

Tang Xiaoyan nodded, agreeing with what was said.

"Have you completed the binding process?"

"Yes, they were normal orcs before. After you cleaned the virus out of their bodies, they returned to their normal orc identities, and the binding was successful very smoothly."

Tang Xiaoyan glanced at the two brothers as she spoke.

“I will divorce them once they have done a hundred things for me. I need to think carefully about what I want them to do when I get back.”

Sang Tian thought there were a total of one hundred items, but later she found out that it was one hundred items per person, for a total of two hundred items.

At first, she was worried that Tang Xiaoyan would be bullied by the two of them, but now she realized that her worries were unnecessary.

Thirty minutes later, Sang Tian ended her trial early and returned home. Upon arriving home, she immediately messaged Cang Lan, instructing everyone not to go to the Floating Islands recently, and also sent the message to the group chat.

The news of something unusual about the Floating Islands was only released after it had already sparked considerable discussion.

[All the islands? Could you tell me which island you visited, Mr. Jian?]

[Oh no, my best friend went today, and after hearing what Boss Jian said, I'm a little scared.]

[Is this for real? If so, why didn't Xingduan send us any messages?]

Sang Tian was taken aback. Yes, what if this didn't happen on other islands?

While she hesitated, someone in the group started sending messages.

[Oh no, what Boss Jian said was true, my best friend's cloud account is now blocked!]

In the Beast World, there's only one outcome for an account being blacklisted: death.

The group chat instantly descended into chaos, with messages flooding in at such a rapid pace that it caused the chat to lag; dozens of messages were sent in the blink of an eye.

People started posting on the forum, and the posts became increasingly popular.

Within just half an hour, it was confirmed that fifteen people had been killed, and by evening, the news had spread throughout the entire Beast World continent.

That evening, Sang Tian held a family meeting, which also included Tang Xiaoyan.

Tang Xiaoyan had a signal jammer, and she didn't bring any of her beastly husbands with her because she couldn't trust anyone.

Sang Tian didn't dwell on the issue and went straight to the point.

"Don't go to the Floating Islands again recently, including the Prison of No Return."

Tang Xiaoyan also sensed something was wrong, "Is the natural disaster really coming ahead of schedule?"

"It's very likely. According to the order, it should be next month, unless you behave yourself for the next two weeks and don't go anywhere, so as to reduce Xingduan's suspicion."

"Don't worry, I know. It's just that I noticed Shen Jinxi seems to have started doing missions yesterday as well. I was worried before, so I specially placed cameras near the Wuming Prison. I saw her on the cameras last night."

Tang Xiaoyan felt a pang of compassion, thinking that they were both females and shared the same mission as her.

She hesitated whether to warn Shen Jinxi, but worried that her identity would be exposed and Shen Jinxi would drag her down with her.

"She's started doing missions too?"

Tang Xiaoyan nodded, "No wonder Xingduan has been keeping such a close watch on us lately. The combined power of my system and hers is indeed not something Xingduan can ignore."

Shen Jinxi's attempt to help actually backfired.

"If you're soft-hearted, you'll be the one who dies. Don't get involved in this matter." Sang Tian could tell from Tang Xiaoyan's tone that she was soft-hearted.

"If I get caught by Stardust, I'm worried that future missions will be even more difficult."

“Now that Xingduan has realized it, do you think you can still proceed as smoothly as before? Either you sacrifice yourself to fulfill Shen Jinxi's wishes, or she sacrifices herself to fulfill yours.”

Once one of them is caught, the Stardust will be on high alert for a while, and once things return to normal, one of them can continue to do missions.

Tang Xiaoyan remained silent. Currently, her relationship with Shen Jinxi was one of secrecy and the other of openness.

"Then should we make her take the blame?"

Sang Tian shook her head, "That's your business. Whether you take the blame or not is uncertain. What if Xingduan investigates for a while and then stops?"

Tang Xiaoyan knew that this was impossible.

This has already threatened it, and it is determined to find someone to arrest.

Right now, Shen Jinxi is the perfect scapegoat because they have proof that Shen Jinxi erased people's memories, as well as various illegal operations that Shen Jinxi had the system do for her own selfish desires.
