Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 291 - 189: The Secret of the Sea Disaster and the New Wolf King
"And besides, I’m sure my Gu Yin is powerful enough to protect me, right? He’s the King Snake! We could even kill a few Sea Beasts while we’re at it." She gazed at him with adoration, as if he were an invincible Beastman Warrior.
Completely unaware that he was being morally blackmailed by his little mate, Gu Yin happily flicked the tip of his tail. He pulled her into his arms for a kiss, his voice a low rumble. "Mm-hm. Of course I’ll protect you. I can keep you safe no matter where you go."
’I have to admit, males are creatures bursting with vanity and pride,’ she thought. ’Just a few compliments from me and he feels like he’s on top of the world, capable of anything. He’s practically walking on air... As for this disaster at sea, it suddenly doesn’t seem like such a big deal.’
His power had now stabilized at the King Beast rank, making him one of the strongest fighters on the Beast God Continent. Aside from King Beasts who were much older and had lived far longer, basically no one could pose a threat to his life.
As for the problem of surviving underwater... as a Snake Beast, he required very little oxygen. His body even contained an air sac to store it, allowing him to survive in the ocean by surfacing for air just once a day.
However, the water’s resistance might slow his attack speed slightly. But if they truly encountered a swarm of Sea Beasts, he would have no problem getting her out of there safely, even if he couldn’t kill them all.
After thinking the whole matter through, Gu Yin finally agreed to go with her into the deep sea to slay the Giant Beasts of the depths that were causing such chaos.
The Beastmen were already in a state of panic, so An Jin didn’t announce the plan to the entire tribe, telling only Chi Li and a few others.
Just like Gu Yin at first, Chi Li and the others were worried for her safety and tried to stop her. But in the end, they couldn’t withstand her silver tongue and had to swallow their worries.
"The two of us will take good care of the tribe for you." Chi Li and Song Yi stayed behind to supervise the Beastmen and ensure the original plan was carried out during her absence.
"When Ling Hong gets back, don’t tell him about this at first. I’m afraid he’ll worry."
An Jin thought for a moment, then changed her mind. "Actually, never mind, you should tell him. Knowing his personality—how he has to get to the bottom of everything—he’ll only worry more if you don’t."
"Just tell him I’ve gone to the deep sea to take care of some things. With Gu Yin and Xi by my side, there’s no need to worry. Have him rest up in the tribe and wait for my return."
...
The winter season’s blizzards continued to rage. On the vast, snowy landscape that should have been deserted, a wide swath of chaotic footprints was left behind.
In the distance, the once-imposing city walls were now dilapidated and crumbling. Many Beastmen stood atop the broken ramparts, gazing out and watching as the departing procession slowly vanished from sight.
"That’s the first time I’ve seen a Seventh Rank Wolf Beast. He’s so powerful! He killed that evil wolf leader in an instant!"
The Beastmen watched in awe as the figure of the Silver Wolf leading the procession receded. Recalling the recent battle, their blood boiled with excitement.
A few small cubs clambered onto the city walls, peering into the distance and muttering, "Mmm... when I grow up... I’m gonna be that strong too, and protect Papa and Mama..."
The adult Beastmen all burst out laughing, ruffling the fur on their own little cubs, whose coats hadn’t even fully grown in yet. "That’s a nice thought. When you’re old enough to beat your papa in a fight, *then* you can think about becoming a powerful Beastman Warrior!"
「A few days earlier.」
Beast Gathering City had been invaded by Moon Wolf City.
A sudden, frenzied attack had, in an instant, left the city—still in the process of rebuilding—scarred and battered once more.
The reason was a traitor within the city.
In the dead of night, while the other Beastmen were resting, the traitor secretly let in the warriors of Moon Wolf City. Beast Gathering City fell quickly, and a few Eagle Beasts who managed to escape flew to Sheng’an City for reinforcements.
"Hand over all the grain in your storehouses and submit to Moon Wolf City, and I might just graciously grant you the status of slaves." The Gray Wolf, who was the City Lord, sneered at the captive Beastmen.
Facing countless hateful glares, he only laughed more wildly, like a villain gloating over stolen fruits of victory.
He waved his hand, and his Wolf Beasts seized several small cubs from the surrounded crowd, throwing them at his feet. He pinned one down with his foot, grinding it into the dirt. "Let’s see who dares to resist now? For every one who fights back, I’ll kill a cub. Such a pity. I do hope I don’t accidentally harm one of your own children."
Many of the females in the crowd were sobbing uncontrollably. "My... my babies..." They choked on their sobs, unable to speak, crying until their eyes were swollen shut. Some even cried until they vomited or fainted.
