The Herbal Scents of Farm Life-Chapter 2912 - 2913: Didn’t They Discuss It First?

The spirit beasts saw that the elder was anxious as well and spoke up again.

Upon hearing this, the elder took a deep breath, feeling an internal anger, wishing he could directly lash out.

If only one or two spirit beasts had entered the restricted forest, he could still put on the airs of an elder, sternly scold the others who wanted to go save them, and then leave pretending to be heartbroken.

But if too many spirit beasts had entered the restricted forest, it wouldn’t be so easy to deceive others.

If he doesn’t lead the spirit beasts inside to find them, those spirit beasts will surely hold grievances against him, and resentment can grow wildly in the future with even the slightest dissatisfaction towards him.

Now he’s beginning to doubt whether, if he doesn’t go into the restricted forest to rescue those spirit beasts, the spirit beasts of Qianji Pond will still listen to him in the future.

"Go first and calm those spirit beasts, I will be there soon."

The elder said to several spirit beasts before hurriedly returning to his cave.

"Elder, Elder!"

Several spirit beasts called out a few times to the elder, but when there was no response, they turned and left.

Alas, with the elder’s demeanor, it hardly seems like he will accompany everyone into the restricted forest to rescue those reckless spirit beasts. What should we do now?

"Let’s go, let’s go, we’ve got to quickly get over there and figure something out. It seems we can’t rely on the elder."

"Did that old fellow go in to fetch some token?"

Nearby, Lin Changhong and his companions, who had already subdued the two spirit beasts watching them, were at another cave entrance looking at the elder. They heard the previous conversation with clarity.

"Probably, right?"

Captain Liu nodded.

So many spirit beasts have entered the restricted forest; if the elder doesn’t come out and do something, he really won’t be respectable anymore.

Can he still suppress the spirit beasts in Qianji Pond then?

After all, they can clearly see that besides the title of elder, the elder’s spiritual power isn’t much higher than the other spirit beasts; in fact, some spirit beasts might even have higher power.

Given this situation, the elder has to be cautious with everything he does.

"But something’s odd. Didn’t only one or two spirit beasts accidentally enter the restricted forest before? What’s going on this time with so many spirit beasts rushing into the forest, could they have agreed on this?"

One of the trio known as the Fence Sitters raised his doubt.

If it were just one or two spirit beasts, caught up in the heat of the moment, it would make sense they entered the restricted forest, but it was several, even more than ten; that’s unlikely.

Attempting something isn’t just about numbers, especially with a place like the restricted forest. The more spirit beasts in the group, if any exhibit fear and don’t want to go, it would resonate with the others.

This way, they are unlikely to reach the restricted forest and might not even reach its edge before turning back home in fear.

"Could there be something we don’t know about? Could the restricted forest be alive, luring those spirit beasts in?"

Another person from the Fence Sitters asked the others.

In his view, it really is possible. Strange things could happen, right?

But his words only drew a bout of laughter from the others, who looked at him with a teasing gaze.
