Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 294 - 293: Wei Jin’s Luck
Si Shuo’s lips were pressed into a thin line as she pondered how to help. Just then, she saw Song Ying enter with a plate of sweet melons out of the corner of her eye.
Half an hour ago, she had used Mi Xing’s Female Saint superpower. The ability lasted for an hour, so it was still active.
Through it, she saw a Horse Riding Flower Film of Song Ying praying to the Beast God for her superpower and then putting it to use!
Song Ying’s superpower allowed her to take on her Beast Form and fight just like a male, and she had also awakened an Ice Ability. The Arctic Bear Beastmen were the overlords of the Ice and Snow Continent in the Far North. Their massive size, incredible speed, strength, hunting skills, and powerful bite force were all exceptional. Therefore, even after arriving in the Central Continent, the strength of a Level 12 Arctic Bear Beastman was not to be underestimated.
She had fought her way here from the Far North all by herself. Each of her Beast Husbands had been a partner who battled alongside her, which was why her standards for a significant other were especially strict.
Si Shuo’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Song Ying. ’What an impressive female.’
"Shuoshuo, why are you staring at me?" Song Ying asked, amused. But when she noticed the new, vermilion, teardrop-shaped mark on Si Shuo’s forehead, she stared in surprise for a few moments. Her expression grew a little tense. "Shuoshuo, who else has seen you like this?"
Si Shuo touched her forehead. ’I was in such a hurry to investigate Mi Xing’s superpower that I completely forgot about this.’
She chuckled lightly. "Just our family."
Song Ying breathed a small sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Shuoshuo, if I’m not mistaken, that’s the mark of a Servant personally chosen by the Beast God. It allows you to communicate with the Beast God at any time and offers some protection, much like an Amulet or an Identity Card. Ordinary Beastmen wouldn’t recognize it, but the knowledge is passed down to Witch Doctors and Priests. Once they see that mark on your forehead, I’m afraid you’ll become a target for all of them to replace!"
Si Shuo froze for a second. Beside her, Xu Chi’s expression turned cold as he asked, "Mother Song Ying, what do you mean by that?"
"They have certain Secret Techniques to siphon the power from Shuoshuo. After all, the ability of Witch Doctors and Priests to sense the heavens and the earth has been greatly diminished. They will stop at nothing to get it back!"
Si Shuo pressed her lips together. "Then I’ll just cover it up so no one can see." ’I have concealer, but having to apply it every day would be a bit of a hassle.’
Song Ying nodded and added another warning, "Don’t take this lightly. Many Beastmen have vicious hearts."
Xiao Cheng smiled and agreed earnestly, "We’ll definitely keep an eye on her and make sure the mark on her forehead is covered as soon as she wakes up."
Si Shuo turned to look at Wei Jin. ’This Father of mine is really lucky,’ she thought. ’The seemingly ordinary female he chose at random turned out to be a Female Saint with such a formidable superpower.’
Females were generally physically weaker and highly dependent on males, so almost no Female Saint would choose such a superpower. ’Why risk going into battle yourself when you could just take on another Beast Husband?’ they would think.
"Father, how many males in the Iron-eating Beast Clan are left to fight our enemies?" Si Shuo asked, a little nervous.
"The clan has a total of 536 members, including the cubs. Of those, 229 are away on a long trip for hunting, buying sea salt, and trading. We have 57 cubs who are below Level 10, and 120 members stationed at the Beast Soldier Camp... This is a critical time, so once the patrol zones for the Beast Soldier Camp are established, they can’t be easily redeployed. However, the Beast Soldiers patrol for two days and rest for one. We also need to leave thirty members behind to guard the females and cubs while they’re being moved... so that leaves us with about one hundred and forty clan members to face the enemy!"
Si Shuo lowered her gaze. ’My Replication Ability has grown stronger, especially during my pregnancy. I’ve been consuming a Sixteen level attributeless crystal stone every day, and the vigorous, pure Spiritual Energy has repeatedly washed over and nourished me. Even with my ordinary aptitude, I’m being forcefully pushed forward. I estimate I can replicate twenty Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pills a day.’
’Around two hundred fifty Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pills... that would take twelve or thirteen days. But I can teleport to Gong You and use his Time Array for a day!’
"Father," Si Shuo asked, "if I refine more Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pills and everyone’s Combat Power increases, how much would that improve our odds of winning?"
’I definitely can’t expose my Replication Ability,’ she thought. ’But everyone knows I have a healing-oriented Wood Attribute, so it would be perfectly reasonable for me to be able to refine a few types of elixirs.’
Wei Jin’s pupils contracted slightly as he recalled the effects of the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill on himself. ’The more someone’s cultivation has stagnated due to blockages from impurities and toxins, the more effective it is!’
Besides, the Iron-eating Beast Clan members consumed a massive amount of energy and were perpetually in a state of semi-starvation, which also affected their cultivation progress to some extent.
"Huge!" Wei Jin nodded firmly. "Anyone who takes a Bone Marrow cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill can generally raise their cultivation by half a Level to one full Level, doubling their Combat Power Value. It would be like our one hundred and forty clan members having the Combat Power of three hundred, or even more! Heh, this is the perfect chance to make sure those beastmen never go home!"
Song Ying smiled and said, "In the ten years it took me to travel here from the Far North, I’ve seen and learned a great deal. I picked up a few methods for setting up an Illusion Array along the way. This Illusion Array doesn’t have much offensive power, but any enemy who steps inside will feel as if a Beast Skin has been pulled over their eyes, temporarily blocking their five senses. How long it takes them to break free depends entirely on the strength of their spiritual power. At the very least, it can buy us a fifteen-minute head start!"
Xiao Cheng clapped his hands lightly. "Then couldn’t we set up traps first, and then place the Array over them? Wouldn’t that be even better?"
Si Shuo raised her hand with a smile. "I can provide some Spirit Plants with powerful hallucinogenic effects. We have to make sure we scare them so badly they never dare to target the Iron-eating Beast Clan members again."
A glint appeared in Xu Chi’s eyes, and he took Si Shuo’s other hand.
「Back home.」
Xu Chi leaned in and whispered in Si Shuo’s ear, "A shuo, after I reached Level 12, I awakened a Space Ability." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Si Shuo squeezed his hand and asked curiously, "Xu Chi, how does your Space Ability work?"
Xu Chi gave a low cough. "I can use a lethal move that displaces space-time, putting the two halves of a person’s body into two different spaces."
Si Shuo’s eyes widened. ’That’s... that’s a bit gory and violent.’ An image from a movie flashed through her mind: a transparent wall descending from the sky and slicing a cow clean in half.
"I can also..." As he spoke, he pointed to the freshly peeled apple in Xiao Cheng’s hand. He reached out, and his hand vanished.
Xiao Cheng was gleefully holding the apple. His dear Si Shuo loved apples, especially during her pregnancy. She would always say that eating apples would give the baby fair skin.
Now that most of the other husbands were away, he had plenty of opportunities to shine.
Before he could even stand up, he saw a hand materialize out of thin air?! (ÒωÓױ)!
A disembodied hand in broad daylight! It was terrifying. In his shock, Xiao Cheng dropped the apple.
The hand deftly snatched the apple and vanished in an instant.
Xu Chi smiled, handing the apple to Si Shuo. "I’ve only figured out those two moves so far. I can use them at short range, anywhere within my line of sight."
Hearing Xiao Cheng yelling indignantly from the courtyard, "Where’s my apple?!" and seeing Xu Chi’s coolly composed expression despite his prank, Si Shuo just smiled, cut up the apple with a knife, and shared it with the cubs.
