Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 379 - 378: Couldn’t Be Better

"Yes, yes, that’s right. Lady Mu Qiong telling us in advance could very well be guidance from the Beast God. In the worst-case scenario, we just leave fully prepared." Speaking of which, the Fifth Elder slapped his forehead. "I think since there’s a good chance we’ll be leaving, shouldn’t we start looking for a new place to settle down permanently?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. That’s right, if they were to leave their homes behind, they needed a destination. It was better to find a suitable place now than to be scrambling blindly later.

"It’s just that," another elder began, frowning and shaking his head, "there are many places across the Beast World Continent where bamboo grows, but there are only a few types that we like. Plus, finding a place with enough to sustain our entire clan won’t be easy.

Our ancestors spent a very long time cultivating all our Bamboo Forest Mountains!"

"It’s alright. We can start looking now," the Great Elder said at once. "The place needs to be large, suitable for growing those specific types of bamboo, and it must be unclaimed land with no large Wild Beasts nearby..."

The group deliberated late into the night. By the time the meeting ended, Si Shuo could no longer fight off her drowsiness and had fallen asleep.

Wei Ce carefully wrapped her up snugly and carried her home.

The chilly air outside woke Si Shuo up a bit. She nuzzled against his chest, her voice low. "Brother Ce, do you think we’ve been too high-profile lately? That we pushed the Iron-eating Beast Clan back into the spotlight, made everyone jealous, and brought this trouble on ourselves?"

Wei Ce kissed her forehead, a fond yet pained smile on his face. "Shuo, of course not. Everything you’ve done has been a blessing to the entire Beast World Continent. You have no idea how many people are grateful to you.

The introduction of paper and writing brushes made writing more convenient for everyone. They’re much more portable and easier to store, and it has encouraged the study of Beast Text... 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Opening a school has given so many cubs the chance to learn Beast Text, to read the books passed down by our ancestors, and to pass on our current successes to the next generation.

You’re so amazing that even the Beast God himself would praise you if he were here. How could you possibly think this has anything to do with you?

The fault lies with those who have malicious intentions!"

Si Shuo nodded firmly. "You’re right. Since we don’t know who our enemies are, we’ll handle this Southwest Forest Beast Tide internally. We’ll let our trusted friends, relatives, and their clan members use it for training and hunting."

Wei Ce smiled. "Alright. At worst, it just means we’ll all have to work a bit harder. An opportunity like this is rare—a chance to improve ourselves while gathering resources. I’m sure everyone will be willing to participate in this mission day and night!"

When they got home, the cubs were asleep, but the other males were waiting for them. This was a major issue, so they had already sent notes to Xu Chi and Yin Jiang.

Si Shuo had barely said a few words about the meeting when both Xu Chi and Yin Jiang teleported back!

Seeing their calm auras and that they were clean and neat, Si Shuo breathed a small sigh of relief before explaining her plan. "Originally, I was thinking of waiting until Wei Ce’s father, Wei Jin, went to the City Lord Mansion to discuss the movable type printing technology before mentioning that we’d discovered a Secret Realm.

I was going to let the City Lord Mansion decide how many elite males from each clan and tribe could be selected to participate.

But now I’m feeling petty and don’t want to share." She started counting on her fingers. "So, the Iron-eating Beast Clan, the Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan, and the Eagle Clan will each select two hundred elites. The Saber-toothed Tiger Clan, the Golden Lion Clan, and the White Wolf Clan will each select one hundred. They’ll enter the Southwest Forest in rotations to hunt!"

Xiao Cheng and Yin Jiang couldn’t help but exchange a glance, a thrill of excitement running through them. They both came from powerful clans; those were their roots. No matter what had happened, the thought of their people still tugged at their heartstrings with a deep sense of belonging.

The saying ’a falling leaf returns to its roots’ was no empty phrase!

"Si Shuo, won’t this cause trouble for us?" Xiao Cheng really didn’t want to refuse, but he was more worried about her safety.

"It’ll be fine. We’ll be very discreet. With Concealing Breath, Invisibility, and the Teleportation Ability, there won’t be any major problems," Si Shuo said with a smile and a shake of her head. "When we eventually leave Guangshou City, we’ll constantly be facing unknown dangers. This is a perfect chance to train the children to hide and protect themselves."

The family began to discuss the details, writing everything down on paper to formalize the plan.

Yin Jiang said in a low voice, "Shuo’er, this winter lasted a few days longer than usual. The Eagle Clan still hasn’t sent word about a new Clan Leader. I expect they’re waiting until after the spring hunt."

"Barring any surprises, it should be Uncle Pang Yuan. We can trust him. If it weren’t for him, I might not have survived to adulthood."

"Since the Iron-eating Beast Clan needs to find a new homeland, why don’t we ask for his help? We can have him find some reliable Eagle Beastmen, and the Iron-eating Beast Clan can just pay them with some Crystal Stones."

Si Shuo looked to Wei Ce. He was visibly moved. "We were already planning to hire some discreet, tight-lipped Flying Beasts in the city to help us scout. If we can get help from the Eagle Clan, nothing could be better!"

The Bird Clan members are gossips, but the Eagle Falcon Beastmen are among the more taciturn ones. They’re naturally aloof and proud, and they’re excellent flyers. Entrusting this task to them is indeed a good idea.

"There’s no rush on that matter. For now, the Iron-eating Beast Clan is thriving, and we haven’t reached the point where we need to leave our home. Let’s wait until you get back from the spring hunt, Yin Jiang. We can bring it up with Uncle Pang Yuan when we visit the Eagle Clan."

Si Shuo nodded. "That’s not urgent, you’re right. But the matter of the Secret Realm needs to be put on the agenda."

Ji Liang narrowed his eyes and hissed, "I’ll go inform the clans and tribes and have them discuss who will participate. Then I’ll hire a Flying Beast to scout the situation in the Southwest Forest."

"Since we’re going to resolve the Beast Tide crisis, we’ll have to start from the depths of the Southwest Forest—places the hunting parties can’t reach—and slowly push toward the center!"

Si Shuo said with concern, "You have to be careful, Ji Liang."

"I know," Ji Liang said, draping an arm over her shoulder. "Making a stupid mistake once is enough. I won’t make Little Shuoshuo worry again. This time, I’ll use my Invisibility as soon as I enter the Southwest Forest. I absolutely won’t put myself in danger!"

"During the day, we’re either on duty, hunting, or working to earn Crystal Stones. We can choose to open the ’Secret Realm’ at night. That way, a few hundred people disappearing won’t attract any attention... And besides being able to set up the Time Law, I can also provide light..." Gong You said, a faint smile playing on his lips.

The Southwest Forest was even more fraught with danger at night, and the Wild Beasts’ Combat Power Values were higher than during the day. Even if they were trapped in Gong You’s simulated daylight, the frenzied energy in their bodies wouldn’t dissipate right away.

This would be a considerable test for the Beastmen. Moreover, having them fight with all their strength for one and a half Beast Hours each time would surely be incredibly effective!

This was also a good chance for the males in her family to undergo some intense training and raise their Combat Power.

That night, Si Shuo brazenly left a note on the Space Stone Table, asking Tuanzi to take her and Gong You to the seaside.

Since she knew they would eventually be leaving, she wanted to hurry up and have the fish cub and the fox cub. That way, the little ones would be a bit older and able to travel with them when they migrated.
