Myriad Beasts City was built by the water, sprawling across a yellow Mother River.
Behind it lay the extensive Zhou Mountain.
Within Zhou Mountain, a Golden Dragon Beastman shimmered with golden light. He appeared as youthful and vigorous as an elder brother, exuding a remarkable aura. He proudly crossed his arms, with two snake Beastmen—who had just entered the Green Crystal stage—clinging to him.
These two little Green Crystal snake cubs were the very ones the Golden Dragon Beastman had been leading through battles in this forest recently. They had progressed from Grey Crystal to Green Crystal, competing against each other and improving rapidly.
Xi Qing and Bei Ji, having experienced numerous battles, were still emanating a fighting spirit.
"If we happen to encounter a Red Crystal Bug later, you both go together. Uncle Jin will be watching from the side," said the Golden Dragon Beastman.
"Can we also try to kill a Red Crystal Bug?" Xi Qing asked.
Jin Tong replied, "You can discuss a battle plan first. You two brothers trust each other and have a good understanding. I believe if you cooperate well, you should be able to kill a Red Crystal Bug. At the very least, if something goes wrong, I can pull you out of the bug’s jaws."
"Okay, Uncle Jin," both the adorable youngsters said in unison.
The hunting during this period had not only given them a strong sense of achievement but also the power to protect themselves. Having advanced to Green Crystal, they could now hunt and even challenge a Red Crystal Bug. This was something unthinkable in the past.
As they walked on, the earth suddenly shook and the mountains trembled.
"Uncle Jin, what’s happening?" Bei Ji asked.
Jin Tong stepped back, then exclaimed with surprise, "Golden Crystal Insect!!!"
"Golden Crystal Insect?!" Xi Qing and Bei Ji were also taken aback.
A Jin Jing was a level completely out of reach for them at present.
"Once an Insect Crystal reaches Purple Crystal, its value is incomparable. One Purple Insect Crystal is equivalent to one hundred Red Insect Crystals, and one Golden Insect Crystal is equivalent to one hundred Purple Insect Crystals! Imagine how much gold that could buy!"
"We’re rich, we’re rich!"
Xi Qing and Bei Ji glanced at each other. For some reason, seeing the uncle in front of them obsessing about wealth and chanting "we’re rich, we’re rich" reminded them a bit of their own mother.
"Uncle Jin, do you need our help?" Xi Qing asked.
Jin Tong’s eyes shone with excitement as he swiftly said, "Xi Qing, Bei Ji, just keep yourselves safe—that’s the greatest help you can offer!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than they saw a huge green insect, its wings vibrating, fly up into the air. On the forehead of this green insect was a striking Golden Insect Crystal!
Before Jin Tong could feel joy, he saw the figure of a giant purple Sen Ran Beastman appear behind the huge green insect.
She Wang seemed tiny in comparison to the insect, yet with one lash of his tail, the very heavens and earth seemed to split apart!
Jin Tong stared blankly. Damn it, stealing my kill!!!
Xi Qing and Bei Ji exchanged glances. It seemed that the purple snake Beastman had discovered the insect first. They knew, but they said nothing.
Without another word, Jin Tong charged toward the huge green insect!
Xi Qing and Bei Ji rushed forward a few steps, and Bei Ji asked, "Xi Qing, should we help?"
Xi Qing listened carefully for the inner voice of the Sen Ran Beastman opposite but couldn’t hear anything.
So Xi Qing said, "Bei Ji, wait. That snake Beastman might not be a bad person."
Bei Ji responded, "But Uncle Jin has helped us many times, even with our training and advancement. I think we should help Uncle Jin."
After thinking for a moment, Xi Qing said, "Then let’s see if there’s any way we can be of help."
Xi Qing and Bei Ji, the two little snake Beastmen, also ran over.
In the forest ahead, She Wang slammed the insect heavily onto the ground. His face was calm as he prepared to kill it and take its Insect Crystal.
Si Yan was indeed very happy earning Insect Crystals, and he didn’t want to disturb her joy. But in the Beast World, the responsibility of hunting should fall to the males. As her male, he naturally wanted to fulfill her wishes. Just a few little insects to kill, then he could dig out their crystals and give them to her!
Jin Tong, who had just run over, was incredibly nervous. What’s going on with Purple Crystal Beastmen nowadays? Don’t they even take Golden Crystal Insects seriously? Are they bullying insects like they’re bullying vegetables?
Jin Tong, as the proud scion of the Golden Dragon clan, was feeling a bit existential at this moment. No, that’s not right. Perhaps it’s not that the Purple Crystal snake Beastman is too strong, but that this Golden Crystal Insect is too weak.
With this thought in mind, Jin Tong didn’t hesitate to strike at the purple snake Beastman in front of him.
She Wang felt the attack from the Golden Dragon and hastily retreated.
His cold, purple eyes stared at the Golden Dragon. Content originally comes from NoveIꜰire.net
Killing insects, especially Golden Crystal Insects, and encountering others trying to snatch the prey is all too common. Whoever is stronger gets the crystal. He was not at all surprised by such matters.
Xi Qing and Bei Ji also scampered over. After arriving, they stood far away, looking at She Wang and the large green insect.
After getting a clear view of She Wang’s appearance, Xi Qing said in surprise, "Bei Ji, Bei Ji, don’t you think that this Sen Ran Beastman looks a bit like Big Brother?"
Bei Ji initially felt a sense of familiarity as well. The more he looked, the more familiar She Wang seemed. He added, "He really does look like Big Brother. Do you think he could be one of our relatives?"
Xi Qing replied, "Hard to say. Let’s just watch for now."
She Wang’s gaze slowly shifted from Jin Tong to Xi Qing and Bei Ji, and then his pupils contracted slightly.
A green Sen Ran cub wearing a silver mask. A white Sen Ran cub that resembled Si Yan closely. The appearances of these two snake Beastman cubs matched the description Si Yan gave of Xi Qing and Bei Ji perfectly.
Having experienced the events with Dongchi and Nan Mo, She Wang almost immediately confirmed that Xi Qing and Bei Ji were the other two cubs Si Yan was looking for.
He had not expected to encounter them while hunting. Already Green Crystal at such a young age. They seemed to be growing up quite well.
She Wang then looked at Jin Tong and asked, "You’re with these two Sen Ran snake Beastmen?"
Jin Tong, worried that She Wang might harm Xi Qing and Bei Ji, said, "Our quarrel over the prey is between us; it has nothing to do with the cubs. If you have any guts, don’t even think about touching the cubs."
It seemed that this Jin Jing Golden Dragon Beastman cared a great deal for his two cubs.
Thinking this, much of She Wang’s hostility dissipated.
He explained, "I need the Insect Crystal for something important."
Jin Tong retorted, "Who doesn’t want Insect Crystals? If I snatch that Insect Crystal, I can use it to buy a pile of gold to decorate my Dragon Cave. Wouldn’t that be great?"
She Wang fell silent for a long while before saying, "It seems there’s no room for discussion."
Jin Tong laughed. "Of course not! What’s there to discuss about snatching prey? Little snake, let’s fight it out fair and square!"
With those words, he drew a huge steel knife from his back without another word. A glint of golden light flashed, and he charged at She Wang!
