Chapter 195: Chapter 191: Discovered

The next second, He Lian was severely startled. “What did you say? The Beast God’s body is gone??!”

He Lian’s two bird claws flailed wildly. “Oh my god, oh my god, the Beast God’s body is gone, ahhhh! We’re all gonna die, ahhhh!”

“Shut your mouth!!” Xiang Ze covered his beak. “Do you want the entire mining district to know about this?”

With his beak still covered, He Lian nodded. “I’ll go tell the other Priests right now!”

With that, He Lian flew toward the other Eight Pattern Priests, anxiously delivering the news.

“Shide! Mao Qing! E Zheng!!!”

Shide waved from below. “He Lian, I’m over here!!”

The Eight Pattern Priest, He Lian, didn’t see Shide and flew right past him. “Shide! Mao Qing! E Zheng!!!”

Shide roared, “I’m over here, you deaf fool, He Lian!!”

Xiang Ze lumbered forward with his massive body.

‘There’s no counting on He Lian. This can’t get out of hand. I have to let the other Priests know what’s going on immediately.’

…

Nan Zishi and the others ran as fast as they could toward the mining district’s exit.

Wolf Ye glanced at the Crane Beastman flying in the sky and said, “Their reaction time is slower than we expected.”

Wolf Day asked Nan Zishi, “Female Master, are you hurt?”

Just now, when the Nine-striped Beast Emperor used the power of the Array to strike at Nan Zishi from a distance, it had truly terrified them.

In that single moment, Wolf Day realized that even with all six of their family’s Beast Husbands combined, they probably wouldn’t be a match for the High Priest.

The gap between Seven Stripes and Nine Patterns was like a heavenly chasm.

Nan Zishi shook her head. “I’m fine. We need to get out of here before the High Priest returns!”

Just then, the deaf He Lian, who hadn’t been able to find his companions, spotted them.

He Lian’s two claws flailed as he pointed at the four and shrieked, “Xiang Ze, Shide, E Zheng, Mao Qing! There are four suspicious Beastmen over here!”

‘We’ve been spotted.’

Xuan Jin’s expression changed.

The group immediately abandoned all pretense of stealth, running for the mining district’s exit with the greatest speed they had ever mustered in their lives!

The four Eight-striped Beast Kings from the four corners of the mining district immediately sped toward Nan Zishi’s location.

Xiang Ze: “He the deaf, you’re finally useful for something!”

As an elephant Beastman, Xiang Ze was tall, large, and heavy; the ground shook as he ran.

But he hadn’t forgotten the grudge over his eye! He roared as he ran, “Stop right there!! All of you, stop!!”

Seeing that all five of the mining district’s Beast Kings were now in pursuit.

Xuan Jin suddenly scooped Nan Zishi up.

He wrapped one arm around her waist, cupped the back of her head with the other, and kissed her straight on the mouth.

It was so sudden that Nan Zishi froze.

‘Why is this lecherous snake thinking about this stuff at a time like this?’

Xuan Jin pried open her lips and teeth, his voice muffled. “Little female, be good. Moon Attraction Resonance.”

Hearing this, Nan Zishi obediently opened her mouth.

A Beast Pattern appeared on her forehead—one, two, three, four small white dots.

She had recently absorbed some Blood Stones and Beast Crystal Ore in the mining district by accident, and her power had unexpectedly broken through to Four Patterns!

A gentle glow and specks of black and red light swirled around the two of them.

The Mystic Snake Totem on Nan Zishi’s body suddenly flared bright!

Her power and Xuan Jin’s instantly fused. She could clearly feel Xuan Jin’s power circulate through her body once before returning to his own.

At the same time, she successfully obtained his power and superpower, while Xuan Jin’s own power began to climb rapidly!

Approaching Eight Pattern Battle Power!

Xuan Jin’s eyes narrowed slightly, the surge of power making him feel incredible.

During her special training before, Nan Zishi had discovered that her Moon Attracting Starlight and Moon Attraction Resonance had limitations.

It could only be used on one Beast Husband at a time, not on multiple simultaneously.

Meaning, she couldn’t grow wings and become a snake-bird while in her snake form. Nor could she resonate with another Beast Husband’s power while resonating with Xuan Jin’s.

So now, she only completed the resonance with Xuan Jin and didn’t proceed to resonate with Wolf Day and Wolf Night.

Xuan Jin shouted, “Wolf Ye!”

As Beast Husbands from the same family who had sparred many times, a single look was all it took to understand the other’s intention. “I know!”

Wolf Ye’s superpower: Will Force Field—Heroic Aura. Centered on himself, it emits a Heroic Aura within a certain range. Any Beastman within the aura feels the Heroic Will, receiving a major boost in morale and maintaining a high degree of heroic fighting spirit, becoming unyieldingly tenacious.

Duration: nearly 30 minutes.

Wolf Ye instantly activated his aura, and Nan Zishi simultaneously gained Xuan Jin’s abilities and the will from Wolf Ye’s Heroic Aura.

Nan Zishi felt her power strengthen even further.

Xuan Jin carefully released her, looking down to say earnestly, “Little female, you escape first. Wolf Day, Wolf Night, and I will hold them off.”

Wolf Ye: “Female Master, run, and don’t look back. We’ll come find you after we take care of things here!”

Wolf Day couldn’t bear it, stroking her long hair. “You have to escape safely.”

Feeling the concern from her Beast Husbands, Nan Zishi said seriously, “I know. I’ll definitely get away. You all have to get out safely too.”

The three males replied seriously, “It’s a promise.”

Nan Zishi was carrying the Beast God in her space; her responsibility was immense. She gritted her teeth and vanished into the darkness.

As her power grew, the range of her Moon Attracting Starlight also increased. She hadn’t yet tested its current maximum distance.

But by the time her Moon Attracting Starlight Ability faded, Nan Zishi would have probably escaped the mining district.

Before long, four Eight-striped Beast Kings appeared before Xuan Jin, Wolf Day, and Wolf Night.

Shide, E Zheng, Xiang Ze, and Mao Qing surrounded them completely.

Shide: “Seems like we missed the small one.”

Mao Qing said, “I couldn’t get He Lian to stop, but he went after that small one.”

E Zheng: “That’s fine.”

E Zheng sized up the three males before him. “Three Seven-striped Beast Kings. Where did you hide the Beast God’s body?”

Xuan Jin raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance. “The Beast God’s body? Isn’t the Beast God perfectly fine in the Divine Space? Why are you asking me about his body?”

E Zheng: “Stop playing dumb.”

Shide sized up the Xuan Snake Beastman before him. “The Eastern Swamp Snake King, Xuan Jin. Aren’t you the leader of the Wandering Beastmen? Did you join the rebel army?”

Xuan Jin said unhurriedly, “Nonsense. I, Xuan Jin, hate ganging up with anyone. Why would I need to join some group?”

Meanwhile, Xiang Ze recognized Wolf Day and Wolf Night and roared furiously, “Wolf Ye, it really was you!! Last time it was your accomplice who blinded my eye!! I’ll make you pay with your lives!!!”

E Zheng reminded him, “Xiang Ze, don’t let your emotions control you.”

Xiang Ze snorted through his trunk.

Mao Qing crouched before them like a cat, licked his paw, and said, “The rebel army, the Wandering Beastmen… you think you’ve done something righteous? That’s hilarious.”

Mao Qing stood up, his voice filled with yearning. “The Beast God is a Weak Beastman. But Lord Long Yi is not. He is the Dragon Emperor! A symbol of glory!

All of us Priests support Lord Long Yi in becoming the new Beast God!”

Mao Qing said, “So, stop playing dumb. Where is the Beast God’s body? Hand it over.”
