Chapter 412 He doesn't like eating insects

Qiao Xixi looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Many years ago, he used his dark power to corrupt many magical beasts and mutated beasts, leading them to conquer orc tribes and slaughter orcs. Later, I used the beast soul to suppress him under the Heavenly Pool in the Thunder Swallowing Forest."

Qiao Xixi frowned upon hearing this. "So he's run out again now because your beast soul is damaged?"

Yunji nodded. "The Fountain of Life, on which all the orcs depend for survival, dried up a long time ago. In order to protect the Fountain, I drew back some of the beast souls, which weakened the power that suppressed Yunming, allowing him to escape with those monsters."

However, because the power of the Cloud Trace Beast Soul had not completely disappeared, Yun Ming and those monsters could only stay in the Thunder Swallowing Forest and could not get out.

But with the endless stream of monsters emerging, Yunji's beast soul power would eventually be unable to withstand it.

"So Beast King City sent adult males who had awakened their beast souls in to die?"

Yunji frowned and sighed helplessly, "This is a life-or-death trial. If we don't let them in to kill the monsters, even more orcs will die when the monsters break out of the Thunder Swallowing Forest."

Qiao Xixi pursed her lips, unable to judge the right or wrong of the matter. "What about those females whose fertility was absorbed? Was absorbing their fertility also for the purpose of suppressing those monsters?"

Yunji's eyelids trembled slightly, and the corners of her lips were pressed tightly into a straight line.

"I was unaware of this matter."

Perhaps he knew the Beast King wanted to do this, but he stopped him; he just didn't expect her to be doing it secretly behind his back.

"The water source was polluted, and many orcs had no water to drink. Later, they discovered that using fertile females could purify the water source in a short time."

After hearing this, Qiao Xixi felt a heavy weight pressing on her chest, as if a large stone was lodged there. It seemed that both of these issues were difficult to choose between, because one side always had to be sacrificed.

"Is the water source also related to those monsters?"

Yunji nodded, "The power of the dark stones on them will pollute the water source. The more monsters there are, the more problematic water sources there will be."

"Is there no other way?"

Upon hearing this, Yunji's light-colored eyes flickered and slowly fell on Qiao Xixi.

"Have."

Just as Qiao Xixi was waiting for him to continue, he didn't say anything more, but just quietly looked at her.

Qiao Xixi wasn't stupid, but she was a little confused. She pointed to herself and asked, "Me?"

"Ah."

Qiao Xixi froze, and after a moment, her eyes filled with shock and indescribable excitement. "You mean, I can kill those monsters? Am I that powerful?"

Cloud Traces: ...

"You can cleanse the water source that has been contaminated by the Dark Stone."

"Oh."

She thought she would awaken even greater combat power.

Seeing her dissatisfaction, Yunji patiently explained, "The energy source of those monsters, besides the Dark Stone, is also the natural power of the polluted water source. As long as you purify the polluted water source, their power will weaken."

"Oh."

“Xi Xi.” Yun Ji’s voice suddenly turned stern.

"So, you shouldn't stay here any longer. Once I'm feeling better, I'll send you out. You find the polluted water source, purify it, and you don't need to worry about anything else."

"I can't leave yet, I have to save my father beast."

"He'll be fine."

Qiao Xixi didn't like hearing this. "You people have used my father beast so many times. Now that you've used him, you've locked him up in the watchtower. He's covered in injuries, and you're telling me he'll be alright! I will definitely find a way to rescue him."

Yunji looked at her furrowed brows and clenched fists; she seemed genuinely angry. He let out a soft breath. "I'll help you."

"You don't have to help me, but you absolutely cannot... What? You're willing to help me?"

Qiao Xixi thought that Yunji was in cahoots with the Beast King.

"Ah."

"However, you need to wait for the right opportunity. The watchtower is guarded by ten beast guards, but they don't stay there all the time. On the night of the full moon, when the monsters' energy is at its strongest, in order to prevent too many monsters from causing a disturbance, more than half of the ten beast guards will leave the watchtower to go to the forest to kill monsters."

"You mean, we can rescue them when their defenses aren't so tight?"

Yunji nodded.

"And even as a high priest, they don't listen to you?"

Yunji hummed in agreement. "They only obey the Beast King."

Qiao Xixi wanted to ask about what happened in the dream, but then she thought that Yunji had revealed the whereabouts of the father beast to that person. If he knew that she already knew some things, would Yunji suddenly turn against her?

After all, his abilities and status are undeniable; having his help to rescue the father beast would definitely be more advantageous for her.

As for what happened in the dream, we can deal with it after we rescue the father beast.

Yunji said that there are still several days until the night of the full moon, which is perfect, so she can use this time to wait for Jin Lin and the others to come.

"Are we safe here? Can Yun Ming catch up with us?"

Yunji flipped his palm over, frowned as he looked at the faint light shining from it, and said, "They probably won't be able to catch up in the next few days. This area is close to the watchtower, and with the deterrent effect of the Ten Great Beast Guards' souls, those monsters won't approach easily. But you still need to be careful when you move around."

Qiao Xixi understood; the little demon had chosen the right place for her. This should be one of the safest areas in the entire Thunder Swallowing Forest.

Since she was going to stay here for a few days, she needed to prepare some essential supplies, such as firewood. She didn't want to eat dried meat for several days in a row.

Seeing Qiao Xixi get up, Yunji also stood up.

"You wait in the cabin, I'll go out and gather some firewood, it's quite cold at night." The main reason was to start a fire and cook some hot food.

"I'll go with you."

Qiao Xixi looked at his still pale face and firmly refused. She was counting on him to help her save her father beast. Right now, the most important thing was for him to recover.

"You don't need to go. You're so weak right now, you need to rest. Go, lie down, I'll be right back."

Yunji was slightly taken aback.

Seeing that he was still standing there without moving, Qiao Xixi thought for a moment and then went over and pulled his fur coat to make him lie down on the bed.

"Lie down and don't wander off." As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed a fur blanket to cover him.

After doing all this, she walked out of the wooden house, closed the door, and Yunji could still hear her muttering something.

"What should we eat today? Birds seem to like eating insects. Maybe we can catch some while we're at it."

Cloud Traces: ...

He doesn't like eating insects!
Although there are many monsters in the Thunder Forest, there are also many natural resources; at least firewood is easy to find.

After piling the firewood outside the door, she planned to go to the river to see if there were any fish or beasts to catch. All that was left in her storage space were dried meat and a few scattered fruits, which were only for emergencies. Given the current conditions, it was best not to continue consuming her reserves.

Qiao Xixi stood on the shore and glanced into the water, where she saw a large fish slowly swimming past her.

"You are the one."

Qiao Xixi picked up a stone from the shore and smashed it into the water.
