Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 196: It All Depends on Luck

Mona stood there, watching the other three teams go in different directions. She felt a little lonely.

When I saw the Beast God walking alone, and then looked at the other teams, I felt sorry for him for three seconds. It turned out that those in power were all lonely. I couldn't help but call out to him.

"Beast God, please stay!"

The Beast God turned around and asked in surprise, "What's going on? Witch?"

"It would be too lonely to search alone. Take the map with you. It's White and Blue's favorite. It has high combat power and is very well behaved."

Mona blinked her starry eyes, looking even more charming and lovely.

"Yutu, please follow the Beast God obediently, okay? We'll have someone to take care of you two along the way!"

Tu blinked his misty eyes. His eight legs clattered forward, gliding quickly to the side of the Beast God. The Beast God looked at Tu and caressed his head lovingly.

"Don't worry. I'll take good care of him! Yutu, let's go!"

The beast god rode on the map's eight-legged chariot, his beard and hair swirling in the wind. But the situation of one man and one beast was truly forlorn. Mona watched the people retreating further and further away, silently praying for everyone's safety and well-being.

Mona turned around and prepared to leave when she suddenly heard a melodious flute sound. Curious, she walked in the direction of the flute sound.

In a bamboo forest, a male dressed in white animal skin was playing the flute. The surrounding birds seemed to be attracted by the music and stopped on the branches to listen quietly.

When Mona approached, the man stopped playing and looked at her with a smile.

"Who are you? Why are you playing the flute here?"

Mona asked. The man bowed and replied, "I am Qingfeng, an orc from the mountains. The Holy Lord has not abandoned me, and has taught me martial arts and how to behave. I just heard about your adventures, so I came to play a song to pray for your safety."

Mona's heart moved and she said:

"Are you the man in black?"

"Ok!"

A simple word, as lonely as he is,

"You are so thoughtful. Your Lord and my friends have just set out to explore unknown lands. I hope everything goes as smoothly as you wish."

Qingfeng shook his head gently. "The journey ahead is difficult and dangerous. Although we have the Beast God and the Holy Lord by our side, dangers are lurking everywhere."

Mona became worried, and Qingfeng comforted her, "But good fortune will come to those who are lucky. You don't have to worry too much, witch."

After hearing this, Mona nodded slightly and stared into the distance in a daze, wondering whether her friends far away were safe at the moment.

"Witch, this bamboo flute is for you. It can be transformed into any weapon you desire. My cultivation is still shallow and I cannot reach the realm of a Holy Lord. I can only offer this as a token of my appreciation. Please accept it!"

"Thank you very much!"

Mona took the bamboo flute and felt it was warmer than the jade flute. She felt a pause in her heart and waved her hand.

"Listen to your Lord, be a free and easy person, and protect this world! See you again if fate permits!"

As they trekked through a misty forest, Mona and the others sensed a powerful, yet hidden force. The deeper they went, the more bizarre the trees became, and the thicker the fog. It felt like the same place they'd been in the Valley of Ecstasy!

Suddenly, a huge vortex appeared in front of them, and the surrounding space continued to distort and deform. Bai Chen shouted excitedly:

"Na, brothers, look, this might be the Eye of Chaos!"

Bai Chen danced with joy, pointing excitedly at a spiritual energy outlet in front of him. Everyone gathered around, their faces filled with nervousness and anticipation.

"Na, this is a bit like the Chaos Eye that Senior Feng mentioned. Kids, step back a little. Next, we're going to try to block it with the seven-colored magic crystal. Success or failure depends on this one move."

Mona took out the colorful magic beads and was about to aim them at the spiritual energy outlet, but the distorted space around them was shaking irregularly, and the whole family fell to the ground, unable to stand steadily.

"Everyone, hold hands and hug each other. Don't let go. Don't let the space carry you away!"

Long Ying took out the dragon tendon and quickly made a magic gesture. The dragon tendon flew to everyone's waist as if it had eyes, tying up the whole family!

"Little one, give me the magic bead and I'll cast it!"

Mona carefully stood on her heels, looked at the hand that Long Ying extended, and handed the magic bead to her. Long Ying took the magic bead, transformed into a dragon, held the magic bead in his mouth, and with a dragon roar, flew towards the spiritual energy mouth.

Bai Chen said nothing, staring intently at Long Ying's movements, his heart aching with anxiety. Meanwhile, the other beastmen steadied the four cubs. They, too, were unsure. The force of this spatial distortion was truly formidable. Even adult males couldn't withstand it, let alone four cubs, who had only been alive for two snow seasons.

"There's not much Chaos power seeping out here. Protect the cubs and retreat!"

As Bai Chen spoke, he used his tail to block them and pushed them back, trying to push them out of the control of the distorted spatial force.

Mona covered her mouth with both hands and watched Long Ying's movements quietly, fearing that a single missed breath would affect Long Ying's performance. She really hoped that he could succeed in one go.

Under everyone's gaze and anticipation, Long Ying flew to the spiritual energy hole and dropped the magic bead straight down. The magic bead was like a pebble dropped into the ocean, causing no ripples at all.

On the other hand, Dragon Shadow's body was covered in blood, wounded by the twisted force of space. Blood stains coated its scales, reflecting a distinct bluish-red light. Dragon Shadow's blood continued to drip, being absorbed by the spiritual energy mouth.

Everyone was horrified when they saw this scene, and Mona couldn't help but shout, "Dragon Shadow!"

At this moment, the previously silent spiritual energy outlet suddenly emitted a faint light, and then the light became brighter. As if stimulated, the spiritual energy outlet began to frantically absorb the surrounding energy, including the power that distorted space.

The dragon shadow, suppressing the pain, roared once more, its massive body spiraling upwards, its wounds healing at a speed visible to the naked eye. The magic bead slowly rose from the spiritual energy vent. As its light grew brighter, the entire distorted space gradually stabilized.

Everyone was overjoyed, and Bai Chen excitedly said, "Long Ying, bring back the magic bead!"

Long Ying used all his strength, took the magic bead in mid-air, turned back into human form, and fell straight to the ground. Bai Chen flew forward, and with his two tails, he lifted and supported Long Ying, and landed gently on the ground.

Long Ying smiled faintly and said, "Bai Chen! Thank you! It seems there's a special connection between this magic bead and this spiritual energy source. My blood might just be the trigger to trigger its true power."

The four cubs broke free from the protection of the beastmen and ran to Long Ying, looking at him curiously with their big eyes. Mona walked forward and supported Long Ying with a distressed look.

"You scared us to death."

Long Ying patted the cubs' heads, looked at Mona lovingly for a moment, then looked at everyone and said:

"The crisis has been temporarily resolved, but we can't stay here for long. We need to leave as soon as possible."

Bai Chen continued, "From what I've heard from Senior Feng, the Chaos Clan are treacherous, changeable, and insidious. This spiritual energy outlet might just be a decoy to confuse us!"

"I hope they can survive the disaster and not get hurt!"

After Mona finished speaking, everyone walked towards a safe place.
