Chapter 864 - 850: Talent

"I can talk to the host, but I can’t do anything."

"Of course, the space, the host still can’t use."

"But maybe over time, you might be able to use the space."

This is a completely unfamiliar place, and the system doesn’t understand the rules or anything here.

With the system awake, Su Muyao felt a bit more secure.

"Ah, host, your scent, no, I must quickly help you block it."

The system used a bit of system power to help Su Muyao block the fragrance emanating from her body.

In this way, the fragrance wouldn’t spread out and wouldn’t provoke a Beastman rebellion.

Su Muyao asked, "System, what’s with my fragrance?"

The system explained, "When you give birth to Zaizai, the fragrance in your blood will emanate. You are originally an Immortal Phoenix, and the fragrance in your blood can confuse Beastmen’s minds, making them become violent or even lose their senses."

"It’s like a spiritual pill to Beastmen, and in the wild, when Beastmen see those spirit treasure medicinal materials, they also fight madly over them."

"Before, I always used system power to block it out for you."

"I didn’t expect this time..."

"But now it’s fine."

Su Muyao felt somewhat relieved.

There was still combat outside, and she didn’t know how things were going.

She worried about Xiao Jihan, and knew that staying inside the house as best as she could was helping Xiao Jihan.

Going out would only cause trouble for him.

Besides, Xiao Jihan might also be under rule suppression and not able to fully use the Beast Taming Technique.

Otherwise, he would just directly control beasts to fight.

"System, how can I get stronger here?"

"Right now, I’ve only restored the power of Level 2 Wood Element Ability..."

Su Muyao briefly told the system about things that had happened during this time.

And also shared some rules and things she had learned about the place with the system.

The system fell silent.

This place was completely different from its understanding of the Beast World, much more primitive and chaotic.

"It seems that the Beast World does indeed need the presence of a Beast God. With a Beast God, everyone would be much more restrained, fearing punishment from the Beast God, and not act recklessly."

Su Muyao said with a grave expression, "But in this place, how can the Beast God return?"

"Even if Xiao Jihan has Divine Blood, he still got hurt."

She remembered what Xiao Jihan looked like when she first came here, and the thought of it still pained her heart greatly.

"We plan to go to the Southern Bird Clan Tribe come spring. Xuan Yan’s Female Mother is the High Priest; maybe she knows something."

The system pondered, "I think that since some channels of the Divine Domain have collapsed, they must be repaired."

"At that time, Divine Stones appeared here, and it’s unknown if there are any more Divine Stones in this Beast World. Finding some Divine Stones might provide guidance."

Su Muyao’s expression shifted, "Right, we can look for Divine Stones."

"But I’ve been here for so long and have never seen a Divine Stone."

"I’ve heard that a long time ago, Beastmen here would sacrifice and worship Beast Gods."

"Maybe I can check out the places where they used to hold sacrificial ceremonies."

Of course, those places are all abandoned now.

Today, Beastmen rarely worship the Beast God; they’d rather use superpowers to obtain food.

The system said, "Host, in any case, during the Snow Season, you should stay here, focusing on safety."

"After the Snow Season, you can go south."

Su Muyao focused, "I understand."

...

Outside the courtyard, no matter how many Beastmen attacked, they were all slain by Xiao Jihan.

Right now, he only wanted to protect his wife and the children.

And the city gate had not been breached yet; the battle at the gate grew more intense.

The City Lord, upon hearing the news, forcefully exited retreat, but was injured in doing so, barely able to use Level 6 power.

Outside the gate, several Eagle Beastmen lay in wait, ready to pounce and besiege the City Lord.

At a critical moment, Xuan Yan returned with the Personal Guard.

The Firebird directly attacked with Fire Ability, turning the tide of the battle.

Most Beastmen still feared fire.

Instinctively afraid of fire when they saw it, much less wanting to lose control over it.

Some fires directly landed on the Eagle Beastmen, burning their wings and causing them to fall from the sky, unable to maintain their aerial advantage.

In the end, the city gate was defended, and Xuan Yan quickly took control of the situation.

Under his command, all Beastmen acted in an orderly manner.

Those Beastmen colluding inside and outside who were still alive were captured and dealt with immediately.

Thus, Black Rock City was safe.

The dawn gradually arrived.

It was as if the night’s attack had been merely an illusion, and everything returned to calm.

...

Xuan Yan, without thinking about cleaning himself up, immediately flew into Su Muyao’s courtyard to check on her.

When Xuan Yan embraced Su Muyao, his hands were trembling.

No one knew how scared he had been.

He couldn’t believe someone dared to harm her.

Su Muyao felt Xuan Yan’s trembling arms, gently hugged him and said, "I’m okay."

Xuan Yan was very apologetic, "I’m sorry, I didn’t arrange everything properly."

He was very frightened at the moment.

Especially after learning from Xiao Jihan what had happened, he could hardly face Su Muyao.

He had brought danger to her.

Of course, Xiao Jihan had already dealt with the Beastmen corpses at the doorway.

He didn’t want the bloody smell affecting his wife and children.

"The children..."

Su Muyao made room for Xuan Yan to look at the bed, where the two little ones were currently asleep.

They had played with Da Bao for a while, got tired, and fell asleep.

The system said their talents were strong.

It’s just because of the rule suppression here, so they tend to sleep more.

Once they leave here, they will return to normal.

Moreover, they also inherited some Divine Blood, but that Divine Blood remains dormant and hasn’t been activated.

However, the Divine Blood in Xiao Jihan had been activated halfway.

If not for the problems in the Divine Domain, he would have become a Beast God by now.

Xuan Yan looked at the two little wolf cubs, his expression extremely tender.

"I’m sorry, I wasn’t by your side when you needed me."

Su Muyao shook her head, "Don’t say that, your safe return is already very good."

"Besides, my Wood Element Ability is at Level 2 now."

"Are you hurt? Let me check you."

Su Muyao took Xuan Yan’s pulse and found he wasn’t physically injured, but the backlash from Beast Power was severe.

Su Muyao used her Wood Element Ability to soothe Xuan Yan.

Xiao Jihan, seeing that everything was resolved, went to make breakfast.

He thought his wife must be hungry after the whole night.

Xuan Yan brought back a lot of food this time, including some spirit medicine that the clan doctor said would be good for his wife’s health.

Xuan Yan laid them out for Su Muyao to see.

Among them, Su Muyao found taro, yam, and wheat grains.

The wheat grains here were surprisingly big.

"Wheat, now we can have flour."

Xuan Yan watched as Su Muyao excitedly held the wheat grains and said, "These yellow grains, even weak Beastmen don’t like to eat; they’re hard and not tasty, and quite troublesome to eat."

Su Muyao’s eyes lit up, "This is a good thing; I can make noodles for you."

"If these foods are made more common, the food resources in the Beast World wouldn’t be so scarce."

The Beast World here is quite primitive, but there’s no pollution, and the air quality is good. As long as everyone becomes more familiar with various food materials, even if they’re not good at hunting, they can fill their stomachs.

During the Snow Season, these foods can be stored.
