Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 69 - 68: Are You in Heat?

"He's out of his mind; stay away from him," Zong Silu said as he pulled her into the Teleportation Array.

"Out of his mind?" Sally looked towards Rong Wu.

He too walked toward the Teleportation Array, head lowered, his expression unseen.

Finally, the dark clouds above turned into rain, rapidly descending.

Zong Silu held the red umbrella over Sally's head, "Hold onto this."

"Oh," Sally held the umbrella and continued to watch Rong Wu.

Zong Silu took a large step, blocking her view, "I promise you."

"Promise me what?" Sally didn't catch on right away.

Xiaomei became anxious. [Have children, ah! You must secure him quickly; he's about to enter the Semi Spirit Realm, and then he won't be able to have children anymore.]

Sally jerked in shock and grabbed Zong Silu, "Alright, let's not go to the Primordial Beast Forest."

Zong Silu had just blurted out the words because he felt uncomfortable with Sally's continuous gaze on Rong Wu.

"That... let's finish the test first. It's nothing more than catching a few Demon Beasts; I can help you with that. The rest of the time... that..." Zong Silu's neck turned red.

Sally looked at him with hopeful, suggestive eyes, "That what?"

Zong Silu directly tossed a Superior Crystal Coin to the teacher managing the Teleportation Array, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Alright." The Teleportation Array teacher was unaware of their little charade and started the array since everyone was in place.

After a familiar bout of dizziness and blurred vision, Sally was back in the Primordial Beast Forest.

The test instructor, waiting only for their group of ten candidates, began announcing the contents of the second test upon everyone's arrival.

"Demon Beasts are the common enemies of all Beast Clans on the Beast World Continent, originating from the other side of our realm, the Dark Continent.

The Dark Continent constantly seeks to devour the Beast World Continent. Demon Beasts consume Beastmen to gain the innate gifts bestowed upon us by the Beast God, so we must hunt these Demon Beasts.

In the past, even higher-ranked Demon Beasts could not speak human languages or take human form. But recently, Demon Beasts capable of transforming into humans have appeared in the Beast Forest. They are cunning and cold-blooded, devoid of any humanity, and can mimic our speech; these are known as Phantom Demon Beasts.

There are now some methods to identify a Phantom Demon Beast.

The first is to use Crystal Coins. Crystal Coins, being derived from within Demon Beasts, can to some extent resonate with them. Simply channel Elemental Power into the Crystal Coin, and if Demon Beasts or Phantom Demon Beasts are nearby, they will tremble and light up.

If you happen to have no Crystal Coins on hand, there is a second method: the Exorcism Curse."

The test instructor had upperclassmen distribute envelopes containing the Exorcism Curse to the candidates.

Sally took the envelope with the Exorcism Curse from Zong Silu, opened it right away, and found a passage inside.

With Xiaomei's talent for languages, Sally quickly read the Exorcism Curse under her breath.

Zong Silu, who was distributing envelopes to other candidates, heard her and looked at her in surprise.

Sally did not notice Zong Silu's gaze, and asked Xiaomei in her mind, [Can you spot a Phantom Demon Beast?]

[No problem.] Xiaomei responded confidently.

Sally was reassured, as long as it didn't counter her desire to have children, she was amenable to other things.

After distributing the Exorcism Curses, the test instructor began to teach the candidates how to recite it.

The chant proved to be difficult and awkward to pronounce; many struggled to get it right after numerous attempts.

Sally had already mastered it, but since she was going to have children with Zong Silu, she figured they should at least develop some rapport first.

So she approached Zong Silu, who was teaching other candidates the Exorcism Curse, "Senior, could I learn it again with you?"

Zong Silu looked at her, his eyes filled with complex emotions, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "You truly don't know it?"

"That's right," Sally lied without a hint of hesitation.

Zong Silu took the Exorcism Curse scroll from her hand and looked at her once more before starting to teach her word for word.

Sally leaned closer to him and started to learn each word, but soon she made a mistake in her reading and Zong Silu corrected her.

By the end, Zong Silu began to doubt whether the Exorcism Curse he had heard her read before was real or not.

The ten-day hunting test for Phantom Demon Beasts began.

As long as it was a Phantom Demon Beast, whether it was the Crystal Core left after its death or a live beast that was captured, it would count as passing the test. If no Phantom Demon Beast was found, then killing ten Demon Beasts would also be considered passing.

The Crystal Core of a Phantom Demon Beast is gray and different from the usual Demon Beasts, so it could be recognized at a glance. Furthermore, during the testing period, whether it was the gray Crystal Core of a Phantom Demon Beast or the Crystal Coin of a regular Demon Beast, it all belonged to the individual.

Sally took out ten Crystal Coins from her space and whispered to Zong Silu, "How about we don't kill any Phantom Demon Beasts and go find somewhere to have a baby instead?"

According to Xiaomei, she needed to get pregnant with Zong Silu's child as soon as possible, otherwise, when he stepped into the Semi Spirit Realm, she would have to switch to a different target.

Zong Silu was shocked by her impatience, "Are you... are you in heat?"

"In heat?" Did she have such a thing?

[Normal Beastmen all have a reproduction drive period, the host does not.] Xiaomei provided the answer.

But since he mentioned it, she decided to go along with it, "Mmm, I want it, can you give it to me?"

Zong Silu's face immediately turned bright red, "First, let's complete the test mission."

He fled in a panic.

Sally sighed, "Looks like I shouldn't be too hasty."

[Host, I have some medicine.]

[...]

Great, there's someone even more impatient than she was!

The Primordial Beast Forest was vast, and the over two and a half thousand candidates, whether forming teams or traveling alone, quickly scattered.

There were quite a few people who wanted to team up with Zong Silu, but he graciously rejected them all. He decided to take the only female of this group of talent test participants.

Such fortune with women was indeed enviable to others.

However, Zong Silu was somewhat troubled, as he really didn't know what to do.

Clearly, she had reached her breeding period. But this was the Beast Forest, and there was no medicine to suppress a female's breeding period.

What was worse, he actually found her scent extremely sweet and tempting!

Damn it, he was almost certainly having his own suppressed male reproductive drive aroused.

"I'm hungry." Sally sat down on a withered wooden stump, "And thirsty."

"Here you go." Zong Silu opened his Different Space.

He took out a box from within, filled with various foods... fresh fruits, cooked meat, pancakes, vegetables, and so on.

Sally blinked, "Where did you get these from?"

"I have Wood Element and also Arcane Arts with spatial capabilities, I triggered it inadvertently a while ago, why?"

Sally understood why Xiaomei was so anxious for her to secure Zong Silu.

Such cultivation talent, especially spatial Arcane Arts, was undoubtedly extremely rare and almost as precious as Innate Secret Techniques.

If she were to have a child with spatial talent, along with the unlimited resources in the System, that child would certainly be extraordinary in the future.

Sally picked up a sour and sweet fruit and opened the System Map.

Within a hundred meters, aside from some small animals, there were only the two of them. And to the front left, there was a very concealed cave.
