Chapter 305: An Unexpected Harvest (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
"These stones need to be transported to the city gate quickly! You guys are so slow, let me help you!"
"Hey, you little cub, don't cause trouble!"
"What trouble? I'm very strong! I'm here to help you!"
Little Zhenzhen ran back and forth, busily helping the beastfolk rebuild the city. Her enthusiasm was even more frantic than the city lord's!
This girl is clever; Sang Luo wasn't worried at all that anyone would try to deceive her. They'd probably be tricked by her until they had nothing left.
"Luo Luo, you've been standing in the sun for half a day. Have some water." Lou Xian Yue walked over and handed Sang Luo a bottle of water.
This water was pure water condensed from his source power.
Sang Luo took a few sips; it was very sweet. Suddenly thinking of something, she flashed to the side of the moat.
Plagues are bound to occur after a flood.
"Have any beastfolk in the city recently shown signs of fever or diarrhea?"
Si Ye also came over. "I heard the city's witch doctor say that a dozen or so beastfolk have been suffering from headaches and fevers these past few days. I don't know about others yet."
"It hasn't spread widely yet, a blessing in disguise. A'Ye, those beastfolk might have contracted the plague, which is very contagious. Go and inform the city lord to isolate the sick beastfolk, their families, and any beastfolk they've had contact with these past few days. Also, warn the residents of the city to boil river water before drinking it, and to pay attention to food as much as possible, and not to eat contaminated or rancid food."
"Okay, I'll go inform the city lord right away." Si Ye left first.
Sang Luo looked at the moat in front of her. Most of the beastfolk in the city took water from this river. The river water had become clear, but she couldn't let her guard down.
She spent an entire day purifying the moat and several nearby rivers, ensuring nothing went wrong.
"Mother, there seems to be something in the water!" He Feisi said.
Sang Luo scanned it with her mental power, but couldn't see anything. Was there an artificial barrier set up? Strange, how could there be something like this in such a place…
Lou Xian Yue said, "I'll go down and take a look."
"A'Ze, be careful."
"Mm."
Lou Xian Yue carefully searched in the river water. After more than half an hour, he swam up with several gray stones in his palm.
"They're Disaster Source Crystals!"
It was this thing that caused the flood and plague in the city, and would also assimilate many star beasts in the vicinity into Disaster Beasts. Sang Luo immediately used her power to completely shatter the Disaster Source Crystals.
Lou Xian Yue said, "Disaster Source Crystals are natural, but the barrier outside was man-made. This disaster is very likely a combination of natural disaster and human intervention… Someone wants to take advantage of this disaster."
Sang Luo cursed inwardly. Who was so deranged!
She picked up the little lion and rubbed its round head. "It's a pity we didn't find any other clues, but this group probably won't give up easily. There will definitely be other actions later. Their tails will be exposed sooner or later. Let's stay in the city for a few more days."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Yanglai City was a large main city with nearly a million people. The time required to transfer supplies was longer than in other places. In addition, Sang Luo deliberately investigated, and stayed in the city with her children and beast husbands for half a month.
The disaster in the city gradually subsided, and the lives of the people returned to order.
In order to appease the anxiety of the city's people during this period, and to revitalize the city's economic recovery as soon as possible, the city lord specially held a fair and night market. There were many delicious and fun stalls on the road, and Sang Luo also took her beast husbands and cubs out for a stroll.
It was a rare opportunity to relax and play, and she brought all the older cubs over to play.
The cubs had a great time in the bustling night market, looking at this and that, buying some delicious things… With so many children, it was impossible to keep an eye on them all.
There were many beautiful lanterns at the market.
Sang Luo took a fancy to a delicate crab lantern and bought it back for the children to play with.
"A child is missing." Lou Xian Yue counted the number of children and found one missing.
"It can't be Little Koi again, right? That child really doesn't remember anything. Just summon her back."
"It's not… Little Zhixin is gone!"
Sang Luo frowned and tried to summon her child.
She wasn't summoned—
The child refused the summons!
What was going on?
She hurriedly used her mental power to search the entire city, and fortunately found Little Zhixin's trail in a remote alley in the suburbs of the city. She was surrounded by a group of black-clad beastfolk.
When Sang Luo rushed over.
The thieves were all lying on the ground unconscious.
When Little Zhixin saw Sang Luo coming, she trotted over to hug her, raised her head, and smiled sweetly, "Why did Mother come over! I was just about to go find you and the uncles!"
"Why didn't you come when Mother summoned you just now?"
Fortunately, the highest strength of this group of beastfolk was only the Half-King stage, not Zhixin's opponent, otherwise it would have made her heart almost jump out!
Little Zhixin pouted, "This group of bad guys has been following me several times. I've discovered them several times. I just wanted to take this opportunity to lure them all out and wipe them out in one fell swoop… They're just some small fries, so I didn't tell Mother."
"You little girl, you have your own ideas. Mother worried about you for nothing." Sang Luo couldn't help but smile.
It was her who misjudged. This little girl was gentle on the outside but firm on the inside, with her own ideas.
Si Ye searched the bodies of the unconscious beastfolk and found a jade pendant from the Qiankun bag around the waist of the Half-King leader. "These are dark guards who were specially trained and came specifically for Little Zhixin."
Sang Luo, "I was most worried about Little Koi before. Little Koi's talent ability is special. I didn't expect Little Zhixin to be targeted too…"
Lou Xian Yue thought of something and said in a deep voice, "Luo Luo, have you forgotten? Little Zhixin's talent ability is also very unique. She is a soul-type talent ability. I have lived for more than two hundred years, and I have only seen her."
"Someone is coveting Little Zhixin's soul-type talent ability! ?"
"The rarer and more powerful the talent ability, the more coveted it is. Little Koi is like this, and so is Little Zhixin… These children's talents are too good." Lou Xian Yue thought of his daughter, and was both happy and worried.
"What do these people want Little Zhixin's soul-type talent ability for…"
Si Ye handed the token to Sang Luo. "The words engraved on the jade tablet are ancient characters. I once found them in an ancient book. If I guessed correctly, it should be the word 'Wanqi'."
Sang Luo and Lou Xian Yue looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes. When they obtained the Creation Furnace Cauldron from the North Sea Secret Realm, the soul of the divine beast senior made a heaven and earth contract with Sang Luo, which was to kill a beastman of the Wanqi clan, Wanqi You.
Could it be this Wanqi?
"The family token uses ancient characters, which means it's an ancient family with at least ten thousand years of history, which is consistent with the age of that divine beast senior."
"Mother, are you going to catch the murderer? I can go as bait!" Little Zhixin raised her hand excitedly.
Sang Luo patted her head, "Mother can't dare to send you out to take risks. Don't worry, Mother and the uncles will definitely find out the murderer who wants to harm you!"
Si Ye, "Since it's an ancient clan, the city lord of Yanglai City should know some inside information. I'll go ask."
"A'Ze and I will go together too." Sang Luo told Si Ye about getting the Creation Furnace Cauldron in the past. He was shocked and then blamed, "You are too reckless!"
"The greater the risk, the greater the reward."
The three hurried to the City Lord's Mansion to inquire about this matter.
