At this moment, at the finish line, Beast King Xiong Lie stared at Yan Lue and Yun Zhi Yue, both of whom had pale faces, their eyes flickering with suspicion and a hint of darkness.
He spoke tentatively, "Kong Yu Zhi Wang is injured. Surely no beastman would dare to act recklessly against him. If that were the case, you must speak up; I will not tolerate such behavior."
Yan Lue's crimson lips lost their color, her expression growing colder. She replied indifferently, "What if they did act recklessly? Who could possibly harm me?"
"Ah, indeed," Xiong Lie conceded, realizing he might have been overly concerned. It was simply that the two of them looked unwell, which inevitably led to speculation.
Yan Lue toyed with Yun Zhi Yue's neck and continued, "I had a quarrel with the queen and am in a bad mood. I came here hoping to exchange something with you to cheer her up, but it seems I have only made things worse."
With this situation at hand, the original goal could not be abandoned. "Beast King, could you make an exception? I assure you that I will not let you suffer any loss; I can offer an Immortal in exchange."
Xiong Lie's gaze deepened. "But that Immortal Phoenix Clan... can one only use the Immortal Flame to condense one Immortal? It is said to have the power to bring the dead back to life."
Yan Lue scoffed. "Bringing the dead back is an exaggeration. The Immortal Flame has its unique properties; it only works when consumed in life-threatening situations. If someone is already dead, it is useless."
Xiong Lie was astonished. "But that still grants a second chance at life! Why would Kong Yu Wang need to resort to decaying flesh?"
Yan Lue grew somewhat impatient. "That is no concern of yours. Will you exchange or not?"
Xiong Lie observed Yan Lue closely; there was clearly something wrong with her complexion. His eyes flickered slightly.
If he were to make this exchange, it would seem he was gaining an advantage. Perhaps they could postpone this transaction until after the Beast King's selection was over; after all, it was only a matter of days.
Yan Lue narrowed her eyes but ultimately said nothing, tacitly agreeing.
Now that she was eager to leave, it only confirmed Xiong Lie's suspicions. She seemed unafraid but could not ensure her own safety.
His gaze drifted over to the girl in his arms. Since that day, Yun Zhi Yue had not spoken a word to him—whether out of anger or simply because she no longer wished to play along.
Just as he understood his little grass, little flower had nurtured it from seedling; this understanding was mutual.
A sharp pain shot through his heart for a moment as Yan Lue quickly brushed aside this discomfort and held tightly onto his little grass.
Charge! Kill!
Get lost! You’re asking for death!
Finally, his gaze landed on the beastmen participating in the selection; many had transformed into their beast forms, striving for peak speed and attack as they raced toward their finish line.
Yun Zhi Yue's eyes quickly focused on two brothers who had also transformed into serpents. In this competition, it was not about tactics or defense; it was purely about who could instill fear in others enough to deter them from intervening.
Chuan Yi and another member of the Monkey Tribe maintained their human forms while standing atop the heads of two giant snakes, observing their surroundings keenly.
Mo Ran and Mo Li lashed their serpentine tails violently against any beastmen who dared attack them nearby, their striking appearance quickly drawing the attention of Beast King Xiong Lie.
Not only was Xiong Lie watching, but the other tribes were also observant, clearly seeing the extraordinary beastmen. They continuously exchanged whispers about the beastmen, their discussions filled with speculation. Perhaps there was surprise in their eyes, but certainly no admiration; this was all due to the fact that the two serpents were considered deformed.
Yun Zhi Yue thought back to the day when Chuan Shi Shou had captured her. The two from the Serpent Clan had indeed mentioned their deformity, but she never quite understood what made them deformed. They could transform into serpentine forms and looked just like snakes, without any extra appendages or missing parts. So why did everyone insist on labeling them as deformed?
The only unusual feature on the two serpents was the irregular scar beneath their bellies. Could it be that this was simply a result of injury?
