The only meaning of survival

Shen Nong felt a little embarrassed after listening to this. He glanced away uncomfortably, wondering where this primitive man learned such a "smooth tongue".

Ze's eyes fell on Shen Nong's slightly red cheeks. In his eyes, the person was more beautiful than the flower beside his ear. A surge of emotion surged in Ze's heart, prompting him to kiss the white and tender face lightly, and then buried his head in Shen Nong's neck and shoulders, feeling that his whole heart was full.

He rubbed Shen Nong's fair neck affectionately and murmured, "Priest..."

Shen Nong raised the corners of his lips slightly and patted Ze's furry head, "I'm tired."

These three words made Ze completely calm down. He let go of the person reluctantly, and then lay down with him.

When he met Shen Nong's doubtful gaze, Ze said seriously: "I am tired too, priest."

"Yeah." After Shen Nong responded, he said, "Then take your hands off my waist."

"Priest, I'm going to sleep." Ze changed the subject and closed his eyes, while increasing the strength of the arm that was holding Shen Nong's waist.

Shen Nong sighed helplessly, and in the end said nothing, allowing Youze to continue hugging her.

..

Quanfeng told the tribesmen about Wu Qing's incident in the shortest possible time. He repeatedly emphasized that they should behave as usual and must not let Mu Qi notice anything wrong.

The people of the Wushan tribe knew that they had to hide their emotions and be patient. When the sun rose to its highest point again, the person who killed their Wuqing priest would be punished as he deserved.

But they couldn't do it as usual.

Mu Qi always felt that there was something wrong with the orcs in the tribe today. They were too quiet, as quiet as the dead.

But think about it, spring is almost over, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. They work all day and don't have enough food, so they must have no strength.

It's better to be quiet, as long as he is not dead and doesn't delay him from mining the black stone.

Quanfeng spent another night in fear. Muqi didn't ask him anything and behaved as usual.

When the sun rose again, it slowly rose to its highest point just like in the past. Mu Qi also went into his cave as usual and said what he said every day, "Don't go near here."

At this moment, Inufeng's tense emotions finally got a break, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was also thanks to the fact that Mu Qi didn't care about anything else in the tribe except Wu Shi, and didn't care about these changes in the tribesmen, that things went so smoothly.

In the past, when the sun reached its highest point, it was a rare time for the Wushan tribe to relax.

They did not have to endure the persecution of the priests to mine the extremely hard black stone, nor did they have to endure the wrath of the priests for not burning the black stone properly.

At this time every day, the Wushan tribe members would sit or lie under the trees, close their eyes, and listen to the wind and birdsong.

But today, they were not like usual.

Quanfeng and Yangwu took the people of the Wushan tribe away in batches, while the orcs of the Yu tribe were waiting outside.

For this plan, Yu Ji also called back the orcs of the Yu tribe on the seashore to help.

With the help of the orcs of the Yu tribe, the people of the Wushan tribe were able to hide further away.

After arranging all the tribesmen, Quanfeng and the orc warriors of the hunting team stayed behind. This was what they had agreed upon at the beginning.

Wu Qing is their priest. No one knows better than the people of their Wushan tribe how terrifying Mu Qi's power is.

They couldn't just let others take risks, but they also knew that their orcs were of low level. Staying might not help much, but their ultimate goal was not to help.

Instead, at the critical moment, risk your own life to save others.

When the orcs of the Yu tribe heard from their priest that they wanted to take all the people of the Wushan tribe back, they didn't know what to do now that so many people refused to leave.

Quan Feng had made up his mind and it was impossible for him to change it. He said to Que Shui, "Go quickly. Yu Ji won't blame you. But I have something to say to Yu Ji."

Queshui also knew that she couldn't be persuaded, so she asked, "You say."

"If I die, please ask him to let the surviving members of the Wushan tribe join the Yu tribe, considering that Wuqing once gave food to the Yu tribe."

Queshui was stunned for a moment. She always felt that when Quanfeng said this, he had already made up his mind to die.

"I'll tell the priest." After a pause, Queshui couldn't help but say, "Chief Quanfeng, the merging of tribes is a big deal. It's best if you can go back alive and tell our priest yourself."

Quanfeng did not respond. He had no way of being sure whether he could survive under Muqi's powerful ability.

A lot of time had been wasted, and Queshui had no time to wait for Quanfeng's answer. He took the orcs of the Yu tribe and flew into the air, away from the Wushan tribe.

Quan Feng looked at the tribesmen who disappeared from his sight, and felt relieved. He waved his hand and gathered the eleven remaining orcs, "Follow me."

..

After all the people of the Wushan tribe evacuated, Shen Nong, Ze, Bao Qiu, Lang Yu, Ying Xi and a few others slowly approached the entrance of Mu Qi's cave. Lu Chun, Ying Ya and the orcs were waiting not far away.

There was no other sound except the rustling of leaves in the wind.

Ze Yi protected Shen Nong behind him as usual. His position was clever, not blocking Shen Nong's sight, but also ensuring that if there was an attack from the front, he would be able to block Shen Nong in the first place.

Shen Nong stared at the dark cave entrance with high tension, his fingertips turned white from pinching, and he was ready to go.

Yingxi transformed into a beast and circled in the sky. Baoqiu and Langyu also transformed into beasts, walked in front of Ze and Shennong, and slowly approached the cave entrance.

When Bao Qiu was only a few steps away from the cave, Shen Nong keenly noticed that there were unusual movements in the surrounding trees.

He himself is a wood-type mutant, and is even more sensitive to the movements of plants than high-level beast gods.

"Baoqiu, Langyu, be careful!"

After Shen Nong reminded the two of them, he also hid to the right. The next second, a dry vine suddenly emerged from the ground where he had been standing.

Although it is a dead vine, its swift force makes its attack power no less than that of a sharp blade.

Ze also noticed the movement and took a step back to avoid the attack.

Bao Qiu and Lang Yu received Shen Nong's warning in advance, and their beast forms quickly dispersed, leaving the dry vines empty-handed.

Hovering in the air, Yingxi looked at the many dead vines that suddenly emerged below, and he was extremely anxious. He swooped down, ready to lead away the dead vines.

As soon as he bent down, Yingxi heard a loud noise in the cave, followed by a man's frightened scream, which sounded like he was frightened by something terrible.

Just as Yingxi was looking at the cave curiously, a shadow inside was moving quickly towards the cave entrance.

He flew up a little, keeping a safe distance.

When he came to his senses and looked carefully, he could see clearly what the shadow coming out of the cave was.

Yingxi blinked. He even thought he had seen it wrong. Otherwise, why would he see the priest of the Wushan tribe tied tightly with vines appearing at the entrance of the cave!

Shen Nong controlled the vines to tighten with his fingertips. Since Mu Qi could use the dead vines to attack him, he could naturally use the vines to tie people out of the cave directly.

He has now become an expert at tying up priests.

Mu Qi's gaze was locked on Shen Nong almost instantly. His eyes were narrowed by the sunlight and he just looked straight at Shen Nong.

After just one glance, Mu Qi confirmed that he had never seen the person in front of him in Beast City.

After all, she is so eye-catching that it is hard to forget her once you have seen her.

Mu Qi suppressed his surprise and asked coldly, "How do you have the ability to control wood?"

Shen Nong did not answer Mu Qi's question, but asked in return: "You killed Wu Qing and took something from his brain. What do you want this thing for?"

Mu Qi paused for a moment, and a moment of panic appeared on his sinister face. He then quickly regained his composure and asked sternly, "How did you know?"

Shen Nong controlled the vines to shrink a little more. Mu Qi's face showed an obvious look of pain and endurance. Shen Nong said, "I want you to answer me."

Mu Qi gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Nong coldly. The pain on his face was gradually replaced by an infinitely magnified smile. A terrifying madness appeared in his eyes. "If you want to know, you have to be alive!"

Shen Nong frowned slightly, not understanding what the other party was going to do.

"Don't waste your energy struggling. You know better than anyone that it's impossible to break free."

Mu Qi sneered, “Really?”

When the vines touched Mu Qi, Shen Nong had already detected that Mu Qi's ability level was two levels lower than his. So Shen Nong was sure that Mu Qi could not break free from his vines.

But Mu Qi's words sounded a warning bell in Shen Nong's heart, this man has a backup plan.

He has to handle it carefully.

“Squeak——”

Flames suddenly appeared around Mu Qi's body. The fire grew bigger and bigger, and it seemed that it would burn all the vines that were bound to him.

He seemed to be unaware of the flames even though he was in the fire. The flames did not hurt the wood at all.

Shen Nong's eyelids twitched and he thought something was wrong.

Fire power..

Shen Nong summoned more vines, ready to win by quantity.

He noticed that Mu Qi was holding a bright red spirit core in his hand, and thought that was the source of the sudden fire.

Activate the spiritual core of the superpower, release the energy inside, and use other people's superpowers for a short period of time.

Why do people in the animal world also know such evil methods!

Bao Qiu and Lang Yu dodged in the sea of ​​fire, but couldn't get close to Mu Qi at all.

Shen Nong looked solemn as he stepped back, controlling many vines to fly towards the sea of ​​fire that was spreading outward.

This was not a solution. He wrapped his dagger with vines and handed it to Ze, saying, "Ze, find a way to get closer to him."

After a short pause, Shen Nong said worriedly, "Just knock the thing out of his hand. Be careful."

He picked up the dagger, put it in the leather belt around his waist, and said to Shen Nong, "Don't worry."

He chose to use the "road" opened up by Shen Nong, and with his figure as fast as lightning, leaving only an afterimage, he quickly approached Mu Qi.

Mu Qi's dry vines followed closely behind to prevent Ze from getting close. After dodging twice, Ze grabbed the dry vines directly, took out Shen Nong's dagger from his waist, swung his arm vigorously, and the dry vines were instantly chopped off.

The dagger shone brightly in the sea of ​​fire. Mu Qi was attracted by the exquisite and powerful dagger, and murmured silently, "A divine weapon!"

While Mu Qi was in a trance, Ze had already moved to his face. The dagger, which Mu Qi regarded as a divine weapon, was only an inch away from his arm.

"puff."

The sound of a sharp object sinking into flesh and blood could not be heard in the burning sea of ​​fire.

But there was a blazing fire in Shen Nong's eyes, and he watched a piece of dead vine pierce through Ze's chest.

"select!!"

A bright red light flashed and fell into the sea of ​​fire. Mu Qi covered his bleeding arm and looked at Ze as if he were a madman.

This person could have obviously avoided it, and he wouldn't have had to get hurt.

But the other party actually chose to be pierced by the dead vines and make him lose the crystal in his hand.

He grabbed the dead vine that had pierced his body with his hand and pulled it out directly, causing a stream of blood to splash onto the ground.

Shen Nong immediately controlled the vines to tie up Mu Qi, and then separated some of them to wrap around Ze.

There was a little more strength at the waist, and when he looked down, he saw vines full of vitality.

He relaxed his body and let the vines pull him back.

Shen Nong was so worried that he was confused, and his mind was full of Ze being pierced by the dry vine. Ze was supported by the vine, and he looked at the hole in Ze's fish skin clothes, and the front was covered with blood.

His eyes were slightly red and his hands were trembling as he tore open Ze's clothes to check his wound.

But under the fish-skin coat, there were only some bloodstains on Ze's powerful chest, and no wounds.

Shen Nong was afraid that she had missed something, so her slender, pink fingertips moved back and forth on Ze's chest and abdomen, pressing lightly.

Finally, he stopped moving his hands because Ze grabbed his wrist.

Shen Nong looked at Ze in confusion, the urgency in his voice was frightening, "Let go, I want to check your injuries."

Ze did not let go, but instead added a little more strength. He grabbed the back of Shen Nong's neck with his other hand, pressed him towards himself, and gently kissed Shen Nong's slightly red eyes.

Shen Nong closed his eyes subconsciously, and his long eyelashes brushed against Ze's lips.

Ze endured the itch and gently covered Shen Nong's eyes with his fingertips, his voice was hoarse after extreme suppression, "Priest, I'm not in pain. Have you forgotten that no matter how serious the injury is, I can recover.

After awakening, this ability is stronger than before, and the wound just now has completely healed."

Shen Nong finally calmed down, remembering that Ze's blood and the light on the wings after awakening, could help people recover quickly.

He was so frightened that he forgot about it.

The tied-up Mu Qi found the location of the crystal he had thrown out before, not far from him.

He was moving forward on the ground with difficulty like a bug. This sea of ​​fire was created by him using his own power to activate the crystal. With the same energy, the sea of ​​fire would not affect him.

Just as Mu Qi was about to touch the bright red crystal, suddenly a sound of wind was heard in his ears. Mu Qi watched helplessly as a huge bird rushed into the sea of ​​fire and snatched away the bright red crystal.

Yingxi found it hard to believe when he found out that Shen Nong also had the ability to control wood. He knew that Shen Nong was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful.

By the time he reacted, fire had appeared below him out of nowhere.

The fire burned very quickly and soon it became a sea of ​​fire.

He could clearly see the changes below. Shen Nong used vines to open up a path in the sea of ​​fire.

He also saw that Bao Qiu and Lang Yu were forced to stay away from the sea of ​​fire and could only wait for an opportunity to act and not cause trouble for Shen Nong.

When he saw Ze was injured, he wanted to rush down and pick Ze up, but in the end he was one step slower than Shen Nong.

So Yingxi set his sights on the crystal that Ze was determined to get rid of. His eyesight was extremely strong, especially in the beast form.

Even though the crystal fell into the sea of ​​fire, he confirmed its location after searching for it.

But the fire was so fierce that Yingxi knew that if he rushed in, he would be badly injured if he didn't die.

But Mu Qi was also slowly approaching the crystal. He had no time to hesitate any longer. It was better to die than to have done all the previous things in vain.

Yingxi rushed into the sea of ​​fire as if he was going to die, but the pain he had imagined did not occur. Instead, his vision became better in the sea of ​​fire.

This amazing change and experience made Yingxi dazed and he almost forgot what he came here for.

Fortunately, he came to his senses at the last moment and snatched the crystal away before Mu Qi.

Mu Qi couldn't break free from the vines on his body, so he controlled the withered vines to wrap around Yingxi who was about to fly away.

Eagle Creek is in the sea of ​​fire like a fish in water, and although the beast is large, it is extremely agile.

Mu Qi's withered vine almost couldn't catch up with him.

Lu Chun and others who were guarding nearby could no longer stay when they saw the sea of ​​fire and rushed in to save people.

But the fire was so big that they might be burned to death before they could even see anyone.

Lu Chun asked the orcs of the Yu tribe to observe from the air first and find the place where the priest of the Wushan tribe was. They would rush directly to that place. Even if they were burned to death, they would take the priest of the Wushan tribe with them.

"found it!"

The orcs from the Yu tribe leaned over and flew down to tell Lu Chun the news.

According to the location the other party said, Lu Chun and his companions were ready to transform into beasts and rush in, but were interrupted by a voice behind them.

"Let's go." The giant white long-haired dog looked fierce in the light of the fire. He stared at the sea of ​​fire with a sharp gaze, "Tell me the location."

Lu Chun knew about Quan Feng, but weren’t all the people from the Wushan tribe taken away by the people from the Yu tribe?

Why are they still here? Lu Chun frowned and said, "Why are you still here? Go away."

"Yang Wu kicked the dirt and shook his head. The huge spiral horns on his head swayed, showing beautiful arcs at different angles. "So, we will open this sea of ​​fire for you. You save your strength and life, and don't let Mu Qi go."

Lu Chun wanted to say something else, but when she saw the gazes of the orcs from the Wushan tribe, she ended up saying nothing.

She glanced over and said to the beastmen of the Feather Tribe, "Lead them the way."

The orcs of the Yu tribe looked at Quanfeng and his companions, circling in the air, and made the same decision as Luchun, "Follow us."

Lu Chun looked at the orcs from the Wushan tribe who were rushing towards him. Their beast forms seemed somewhat small under the curtain of fire.

But she really couldn't refuse the look in their eyes that regarded death as the only meaning of existence.
