Chapter 69 I want him to be alright

Xu Chi’s understanding comes from his inheritance and his experiences over the years.

Having been truly tempered, he had become indifferent to the rules of nature, and he had no attachments, simply observing the beast tides with a detached eye.

In his eyes, there was no difference between the ferocious beasts and the orcs who had obtained their fortune through the deer; neither could be considered his kind.

Now that he has his own little female, he doesn't care about anything else as long as he can ensure the safety of his family.

Si Shuo raised his head, grabbed his ear, pulled him close to look him in the eye, and said seriously:

"Xu Chi, you are no longer alone. Your thoughts should be more humane."

Living too clearly can rob people of the joy of life. We orcs are different from ferocious beasts; we have our own joys, sorrows, fears, and anxieties, and indulging ourselves a little is perfectly fine.

I don't expect you to become a saint, but you must lend a helping hand when you see injustice. It's just that the beast tide has had a terrible impact. There are quite a few good males and females in the city.

If we know there is a beast tide and do nothing, the orcs will suffer heavy casualties when the tide arrives. Such a lesson is too painful.

How many males and females will lose their mates, and how many offspring will lose their fathers and mothers?

The mistakes of some should not be borne by all the orcs in the city.

Suka is so wonderful, she should experience more beautiful people and things...

At least she tried, so she won't have any regrets. She couldn't bear to watch such a bustling and prosperous city turn into a living hell.

Moreover, once they arrive in the Central Continent, a male like Xu Chi, who strictly adheres to the laws of survival, would likely be ostracized and disliked by other orcs.

Like a cold-blooded, stray beast, it succumbs more to its instincts, making it impossible for other beastmen to rely on it completely. In a life-or-death situation, this is a major taboo.

Even if Xu Chi's views cannot be changed, he at least learns not to let others detect such dangerous thoughts.

Xu Chi looked at the little female and, following her words, felt a surge of unpleasant memories as he thought about losing his partner and family. His brown eyes turned almost black.

Si Shuo smiled and kissed him. "What I mean is, Xu Chi should try to trust us and not close himself off."

We'll help you keep your secret!

Xu Chi hugged her tightly and said in a muffled voice, "Little liar, you must be well. I understand what you mean. As long as you live, you will be a pure land in my heart."

"With a pure land here, I'll pay more attention to certain things."

Si Shuo tilted his head and nibbled on his ear, feeling his body stiffen. "I haven't told anyone I have nine lives. I'll live a good life, Xu Chi, don't be afraid!"

"Nine lives?" Suki asked in surprise.

"That's right. It's good that your horned deer clan can grow wings from birth, possess the laws of space, and refine a Sumeru space in your dantian. But why can't I, this mutated cat, have nine lives?"

But I cherish my life very much. If I die once, all the beast marks on my body will be lost, and I can't bear to lose them!

I'm telling you this so you can have peace of mind. I know I can pull through even in dire situations, so if you encounter something really bad, please don't do anything foolish.

Her beastly husband is a treasure trove, and he even has a deadly move that can swap heads...

Si Shuo solemnly emphasized, "Otherwise, I will not forgive you."

"You want me to be well, and I want my Xuchi to be well too!" For the first time, Xuchi felt his eyes sting. When he was a child, he was ignorant and did not know the meaning of death. He only knew that no one would protect him and that his path to adulthood was full of thorns, with pain and loneliness accompanying him.

He was born unable to cry, and he has hardly ever laughed either.

The faces and voices of those who cared about him were all blurred into a jumbled mess. This was the first time, apart from his deceased closest relatives, that someone had told him they wanted him to be well. For this reason, he foolishly revealed all his secrets.

The feeling of being cared for made him suddenly realize that the world was even more beautiful than he had felt during this time, and deeply worth cherishing.

Yes, Si Shuo's world shouldn't be filled with so much killing and sorrow; it would taint her eyes.

Xu Chi chuckled and nuzzled her neck. "Then let's talk to Zhile and the others and hear their opinions."

Si Shuo nodded, and during the meal, Xu Chi told him about sensing the beast tide.

The three men, Zhile and his companion, exchanged a glance and their expressions turned solemn.

"Hiss, many females in the Southern Continent know that at this time of year, teams are heading to the Central Continent. Many holy females and females with good fertility are following their beastmen here."

If Puchang City falls, the entire Southern Continent of the Beast World will be significantly affected.

Zhile nodded: "Puchang City was originally a beast city formed by several tribes migrating together. The surrounding forests under its jurisdiction are vast, and many ferocious beasts hide in them."

Once a beast tide occurs, its scale will be absolutely astonishing. After this area falls, the ferocious beasts in the tide will be stimulated by the blood and continue to advance along the path of the orcs.

New ferocious beasts have joined the fray on the road…

Si Shuo couldn't help but think of locust plagues. When there are only one or two locusts, they are normal, but when the density is high, they are stimulated and go crazy. After metamorphosis, their appetite increases, and nothing grows in their wake. They also have a strong ability to leap, and a large-scale locust plague can last for months or even years!

Therefore, the beast tide was never the defense of a single tribe, but the entire southern continent of the Beast World.

Gong You said coldly, "From the moment I entered the city, I noticed that the beastmen in Puchang City had inconsistent beast markings and combat power. This is a phenomenon that only occurs when the hunting intensity is not high."

It's likely that they've been slacking off for several, even more than ten, beast years, leading to an increase in the number of ferocious beasts. Even though the beastmen frequently go out hunting, these expenditures are negligible compared to the increase in the number of ferocious beasts during the rainy and cold seasons.

If the beast tide really comes, Puchang City will have no way to resist...

Si Shuo turned his head to look at Xu Chi, "Xu Chi, can you sense the direction of the beast tide?"

If we send flying beasts to investigate, they should be able to find it, right?

If we have an orc with teleportation abilities accompanying us, we can buy more time and make some preparations.

Xu Chi shook his head: "I just feel restless, but based on my experience, I estimate that the beast tide will arrive in three or four days."

The berserk beast runs twice as fast as usual, covering a great distance in three or four days, leaving us little time to prepare.

"I'll go with them. I can manipulate the laws of time and scout out the beast tide in advance. Only with accurate information can the entire Puchang City take it seriously and actively prepare for battle. Otherwise, it will be difficult to shatter their dreams," Gong You said calmly. "I can also investigate the strength of this beast tide first, and maybe I can solve some problems along the way. It's just a pity that the fur of the berserk beasts is bad, the spiritual energy in their flesh is mixed and sour, and the energy in their crystals is impure, with nothing of value!"

"The level of the ferocious beasts joining the beast tide will be one or two levels higher than usual (beast pattern upgrade), hiss. The Southern Continent can't breed very high-level ferocious beasts. I estimate that even after going berserk, they will only reach a maximum level of twelve or thirteen, and their numbers are scarce. Let's harvest these first. However, the ferocious beasts after going berserk are actually thirty to forty percent stronger in actual combat, so you need to be more careful," Ji Liang said coldly.
