Chapter 388 Beast King City

After waking up in the morning and having a simple breakfast, Qiao Xixi and the others set off.

As Qiao Xixi sat on the Kunlin, she looked down as they flew across the river. This time, she could clearly see that the river was murky and that there seemed to be some strange black substances floating in it.

Qiao Xixi looked at Xue Che and asked the question that had been on her mind.

"Xue Che, why is the river water here black?"

Xue Che glanced at the river, his expression grave, and said, "I don't know. The water source outside Beast King City has been like this for some time now."

"Does Beast King City also not know the reason?"

Xue Che looked at her and said, "The Beast King may know, but the beastmen in Beast King City do not. Right now, the beastmen in Beast King City dare not drink the water here. They all go to the snow mountain behind to fetch water, where the water is clean."

When Qiao Xixi noticed something was wrong with the river last night, her first thought was of the several tribes that had come to seek refuge with them, as they too had been unable to survive and had to migrate because of water problems.

"Xue Che, can you tell me about Beast King City? It's my first time here, and I'd like to learn more about it."

"Okay, whatever you want to know, I'll tell you."

Time flew by as Qiao Xixi chatted with Xue Che. After crossing a great river and traversing a mountain forest, a group of majestic buildings standing among the mountains came into Qiao Xixi's view.

Xueche pointed to the cluster of buildings and said, "We've arrived."

Kunlin slowly descended, landing steadily on the ground as it approached the gate of Beast King City.

Jin Lin jumped off Kunlin, carrying Qiao Xixi in his arms.

Fei Yan and the others also landed.

Qiao Xixi got off Jin Lin and looked up at the layers of stone steps in front of her. The gate of Beast King City was located on the steps.

At first glance, the entire Beast King City looks as if it stands on a cloud.

One after another, other orcs walked up the stone steps. Judging from their faces, they all looked tired. They were probably orcs who were going to the Beast King City to participate in the sacrificial ceremony.

Qiao Xixi and the others climbed the steps and arrived at the gate of the Beast King City with a group of orcs.

Qiao Xixi looked up at the majestic gate in front of her. Just standing under the city gate, she could feel a strong sense of oppression. The city walls on both sides of the stone gate were so high that even high-level beastmen would have difficulty jumping out from inside.

"Jin Lin, is there a big difference between Tiger Beast City and Beast King City?"

Jin Lin was also looking at the city gate in front of him. When he heard Qiao Xixi ask this question, he nodded and said, "It's bigger and more imposing."

But the biggest difference is that the beast guards at the city gate all have at least a 5-star beast soul. In a large tribe, this star level would already be considered a strong person, but in Beast King City, they can only guard the city gate.

Falcon and his companions could also clearly sense the powerful aura emanating from within Beast King City from time to time.

The arriving orcs were all queuing up to enter the city, and soon it was Josie and her group's turn.

She took out the feathers from her body and handed them to the male orc guarding the horned deer.

He took the feather, looked at it, and nodded, then glanced around at Qiao Xixi.

"go in."

Xue Che walked among several winged males. Logically, he was relatively small and should not be easily noticed, but he was stopped by the beast guards just as he was about to enter the city.

"and many more."

Xue Che clenched his fists and stopped in his tracks.

Several winged males also stopped out of curiosity.

"What, what's the problem?"

The beast guard nudged Kunlin, exposing Xue Che behind him to the public.

"You can go in, but he can't." Qiao Xixi turned around at the sound, frowning as she looked at Xue Che who was being stopped. "Why?"

The beast guard looked at Xue Che with arrogance and said contemptuously, "Lord Yu Ye said that Xue Che must hand over enough prey every time he enters the city. He cannot enter the city without prey."

Qiao Xixi's eyebrows twitched slightly. Xue Che looked like a low-level orc in Beast King City, yet he was being targeted by the son of the Beast King?
Xue Che looked up at Qiao Xixi with some embarrassment. "I won't go in. Thank you for your help before." After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait for Xueche." Qiao Xixi looked at the beast guard. "How much prey does he need to hand over?"

"At least two animal legs."

They had two animal legs, just enough for them.

Qiao Xixi looked at Xi Jing, who understood and placed the two bison legs in front of the beast guard.

"Is it enough?"

The beast guards were surprised that someone would be willing to help Xue Che, so they didn't make things too difficult for him.

"enough."

Xue Che pursed his lips and followed Qiao Xixi and the others into the city gate.

"Sorry for causing you trouble again." The boy's voice was slightly hoarse, sounding somewhat dejected.

"It's just two animal legs. You can give them back to us when you have the chance."

Qiao Xixi didn't think she was a very kind person, but Xue Che's embarrassing yet stubborn appearance just now reminded her of the time when she led the children to the tribe to survive, and she softened a little for a moment.

"Does Beast King City have a place to accommodate those of us who came to participate in the sacrifice?"

Xue Che nodded. "Yes, you will all be staying over there. I'll take you there."

After Xueche led them around a small path, their view suddenly opened up. The road in front of them was paved with stones, much cleaner and smoother than the muddy road they had walked on before.

On both sides of the mainland are rows of one- or two-story stone houses. Below the stone houses are some shops. Although they look rather simple, compared to the tribe, this place is closer to the modern civilization she knows.

However, there is no currency here; you can exchange animal hides or crystals to buy whatever you want.

Qiao Xixi noticed that orcs from other places were also heading this way, and they were all probably going to settle down in this area.

"It's just ahead. Take a look. How big of a stone house do you want?"

Xueche led them to a series of detached stone houses, some of which looked larger and others smaller.

There were too many of them, even a large courtyard couldn't accommodate them all, so Jin Lin took the initiative and ultimately chose the two largest courtyards.

Can I move in here right away?

Xue Che nodded. “Okay, this place is for the orcs who come to participate in the sacrifice. You don’t need to pay for crystals. You just need to mark your territory and no other orcs will come here. But you have to take care of your own food and supplies. You can also go out of the city to hunt. When you enter the city, just show the feather to the beast guards.”

I understand. Beast King City provides accommodation, but you need to bring your own food and drink.

"Where do you live?"

Xue Che pursed his lips before saying, "My home is quite far away. If you need anything from me..." As he spoke, he took out a bone bell about the size of a thumb from his body and handed it to Qiao Xixi, "Just shake this, and I'll come looking for you if I hear it."

Qiao Xixi accepted it without hesitation, saying, "Okay."

“I’ve been out of town for several days now. If I don’t go back soon, my father will be worried.”

"Okay, be careful."

Xue Che nodded, and his figure quickly disappeared around the street corner.

Qiao Xixi raised the bone bell in her hand to look at it, and just as she was about to put it away, the bone bell was snatched away.
