Chapter 399 Taboo
The Beast King's face turned pale. "Go save the High Priest! Quickly! Go after her!"

If something happens to Yunji at this time, no one will be able to suppress the monsters in the Thunder Swallowing Forest!
The beast guards obeyed and quickly assembled their force to pursue the direction the black cloud had left in.

Han Lie looked in the direction the black clouds had left, his face also very grim. "The Beast King and the others went to the Thunder Swallowing Forest."

The Beast King's eyes narrowed.

Han Lie continued, "Beast King, let them go now. This is going to be a fierce battle."

The Beast King suddenly turned to look at the beastmen standing below the altar.

“You’re right, send them to the Thunder Swallowing Forest to join the battle immediately.”

She walked up to the altar and said, “As you all saw, a dark force abducted the High Priest. Without the High Priest, this sacrificial ceremony cannot be held. If the Beast God is angered by this, he will no longer protect us. Therefore, we must rescue the High Priest. Whoever can rescue the High Priest will be the most valiant Beast Guardian of Beast King City and will become the companion of the precious Holy Queen of Beast King City.”

At least 9% of the orcs present were filled with awe for the Beast God, and they were all excited after the Beast King spoke.

Seeing this, Han Lie gave the beast guards a wink, and the beast guards understood and stepped forward.

"Everyone, follow me!"

The males excitedly followed the beast guards toward the back of the palace.

Seeing this, Qiao Xixi also gripped Falcon Owl's hand tightly, "Let's follow them, maybe we can sneak into the watchtower and rescue Father Beast in the chaos."

"Ah."

Han Lie's sharp eyes noticed that Qiao Xixi and Junxiao had also left. He didn't have anyone stop them, but simply gave a few instructions to Yue Li behind him. After Yue Li understood, she turned around and followed behind Qiao Xixi and the others.

The Thunder-Swallowing Forest was located at the back gate of the royal palace, and the beast guards quickly led them to the entrance of the forest.

"The Thunder-Swallowing Forest is fraught with danger. Everyone must be careful once you enter. Remember, once you enter the forest, do not turn around if any sound calls you from behind, even if it is a familiar voice. Those sounds are all made by monsters, and if you turn around, you will be killed by them."

The beast guards didn't rush to let people in, but instead explained the taboos of the forest at the entrance.

"The monsters inside have dark red eyes that turn green when exposed to fire. Kill them, extract the beast crystals from their bodies, and swallow them immediately. Your beast souls will become stronger. Otherwise, you will die at their hands."

"Finally, I want to say that you should listen carefully to the sound of the bone bell." The beast guard took out a bone bell from his body and shook it, and a muffled ringing sound rang out.

"As soon as you hear the sound of the bone bell, stop immediately no matter what you are doing, or you will be killed by the monster."

"If we don't move, will the monsters stop killing us?"

"Yes, the bone bells are ringing. As long as you don't move, the monster won't be able to find you."

The beastmen were bewildered by these rules and regulations. It turned out that this was not an ordinary forest at all, but a place where monsters that could kill beasts lived!

But orcs with high-level beast souls have no reason to back down. Although they may have some doubts, none of them will back down.

After giving them instructions, the beast guards allowed them to enter the forest.

Because of the beast guards' instructions, everyone initially followed their companions closely, not daring to relax even slightly.

Falcon and the others walked around Qiao Xixi, almost enclosing her in a protective circle. Even so, Qiao Xixi was always aware of the changes in her surroundings.

The trees in the Thunder Swallow Forest are very tall and have very lush foliage. Even when the sun is shining brightly outside, very little golden light can penetrate into the forest.

The entire forest was shrouded in a faint glow, but fortunately, the beastmen had excellent eyesight, and the light was enough for them to discern their surroundings.

As they cautiously moved forward, a slight noise suddenly came from ahead. Everyone stopped abruptly, their eyes fixed on the source of the sound, assuming an attack stance. Just then, a small long-eared rabbit suddenly leaped down from a large tree, landing at the feet of a male brown bear.

The male brown bear's eyes darkened, and just as it was about to strike with its paw, the long-eared rabbit-like beast jumped to the other side.

After everyone realized that it was just a long-eared rabbit beast, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

One of the males scoffed, "Judging from how cautious the beast guards were when we came in, I thought it would be something really scary inside. What's the difference between this and the forests we usually go hunting in?"

“Exactly, what a fuss. We need to take a different route. If we stay together, how long will it take to rescue the high priest?”

Soon, the orcs who had been walking together dispersed back to their respective groups.

Huang Yue led Kunlin and the others to Qiao Xixi and the others.

“Josie, female, come with us. This place is definitely not as simple as you think. Don’t be fooled by the current situation.”

Qiao Xixi nodded. If it were that simple, the beastmen in Beast King City wouldn't be so terrified of it.

"Ah."

Huang Yue and his companions could fly directly in the sky to observe the situation below, thus enabling them to detect in time whether the enemy would attack them from the air.

"Host, that's a monster that evolved after absorbing the power of the Dark Stone! Host, can you hear me?!"

Qiao Xixi's attention was drawn away from the long-eared rabbit beast that had been hopping around with them, and her mind was filled with the little demon's frantic cries.

"Keep your voice down!"

"Hmph, you asked me a question and then ignored me. You're such a naughty little thing."

Josh: ...

"You just said that the monster that swept away the cloud trail absorbed the power of the Dark Stone? Is it the Dark Stone from the Abyss of Hopelessness? Isn't that the power that can suppress the beastman's soul energy? Are these two the same thing?"

"Yes, but not exactly. The Dark Stones in the Abyss of Despair are already the absorbed version, while those monsters absorbed the original, essential version. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand. So, what are those monsters like?"

"Uh...you remember that burrowing beast, right?"

"Like a burrowing beast? Sangze can handle that."

"Host, we can't handle this. The burrowing beasts are dim-witted because the Holy Crystal greatly weakened the power of the Dark Stone. The monsters here are different. They are not only powerful but also intelligent, possessing the thinking abilities of orcs and a physique even stronger than magical beasts. You must be careful!"

Qiao Xixi's heart sank as she listened. "Then... do you have any smaller ones?"

"Hmm? You mean those monsters? Yes, but they're probably just kidding you. Don't be fooled by anything in the forest."

Qiao Xixi glanced at the long-eared rabbit beast that hopped up to them, and no one thought it was a threat.

But just when they were completely ignoring it, it suddenly pounced on Crimson Flame.

Fei Yan frowned, and was about to slap it away when a cloud of black mist quickly circled around from behind him!
