Tao Wei was very dissatisfied. “You’re giving up such a good opportunity? Are you crazy?!”

Han Ying was very calm. “Although their beast soldiers are at the end of their rope and are not to be feared, their commanders aren’t weak. If they resist to the end, we might not win. Especially that tiger beast. His combat strength might be above ours. If we want to win, we have to get rid of him first.”

Tao Wei stopped talking when he heard this.

He had also seen the strength of that tiger beast. He was indeed very powerful.

As one of the strongest male beasts of the demon race, Han Ying was not confident that he could kill that tiger beast, let alone the others.

Han Ying looked into the distance. “The battle between us and the beasts has just begun. There’s still a long way to go. Let’s take our time. Victory will definitely belong to the demon race!”

After receiving the order, the demon army immediately withdrew and crossed the Black River to return to the territory of the demon race.

The sky was bright, and it was still raining.

The battle was finally over.

The beast soldiers were so tired that they collapsed to the ground. He Guang was also very tired, but his mind seemed to be still on the battlefield where he had just fought. The intense stimulation of blood splashing made him unable to calm down for a long time.

The blood on Xuan Wei’s body had been washed away by the rain, but he was still strong enough to fight a hundred beasts alone. All the beast soldiers were still in shock by what they had just witnessed from him earlier.

When they saw Xuan Wei walking over, they retreated and made way.

Xuan Wei stopped beside He Guang and said in a low voice, “Your Highness, the demon race’s army has retreated, but they’ll definitely make a comeback. We need to count the casualties as soon as possible and regroup so that we won’t be caught off guard again.”

He Guang responded and immediately called over his trusted beast soldiers to count the casualties and clean up the camp after the battle.

In the past, He Guang knew that Xuan Wei was very powerful, but that was only hearsay.

Hearing about it was far less real and shocking than seeing it with his own eyes.

He Guang patted Xuan Wei’s shoulder and laughed heartily.

“It’s all thanks to you fighting bravely just now that we were able to turn the tide. You’re our hero! When the battle ends and I return to the City of 10,000 Beasts, I’ll definitely ask Father to give you proper credit. At that time, you can get any reward you want!”

Xuan Wei was still calm. He did not look happy at all.

He said, “Every warrior who dies on the battlefield is a hero. As long as Your Highness treats our families well, it’s the best reward for us.”

He Guang was in a good mood now, and he agreed readily. “Alright, alright, I won’t treat them badly!”

…

At the same time, in the distant Divine Wood Temple, the high priest held his breath and stared at the crystal ball in front of him.

This was his sixth divination.

The last five divinations had failed. He hadn’t gotten the results he wanted. This was the last divination. If he still failed, he would have to find another way.

The crystal ball glowed green.

The high priest kept praying in his heart, “Great Goddess of Nature, please tell me the whereabouts of the Divine Wood. The Divine Wood clan is willing to offer our loyalty to you. Please guide me this time.”

A figure suddenly appeared in the crystal ball.

The high priest’s eyes widened. ‘It’s appeared!’

The figure was turning. It seemed to be dancing a prayer dance. She was in a white dress that had a black outer layer. Her face was covered by a pure white mask. Her face was completely hidden.

He could only tell from her slender figure that she was a young female.

After her dance, she sat on her knees and seemed to be praying with her head lowered.

The high priest stared at the figure in the crystal ball and examined her carefully, trying to find a clue that could prove her identity.

At this moment, the figure suddenly raised his head and looked straight in the direction of the high priest!

The high priest’s pupils constricted.

She had discovered him?!

The green light of the crystal ball disappeared, as did the figure inside.

The high priest quickly divined again, but no matter what he did, he could not see the female dancing the prayer dance again.

Helpless, he gave up on the idea of divination.

Xue Hui quickly walked in and said excitedly, “High Priest, it’s raining.”

Continuous divination had made the high priest very tired. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and said leisurely, “It’s just rain. What’s there to be surprised about?”

“This rain made the Divine Wood bloom!”

The high priest’s expression changed. “Really?”

“I saw it with my own eyes. It can’t be fake. If you don’t believe me, you can go see for yourself.”

The high priest immediately stood up and walked out of the temple with Xue Hui. The heavy rain hit them, but the two of them didn’t care that they would be wet. They hurried down the stairs and looked up.

Directly in front of the temple door was an old tree that towered into the sky.

The branches that were originally a little withered had grown a lot of green leaves during this period of time. They stretched their leaves wantonly in the rain.

The high priest widened his eyes and looked carefully. He saw that a few small white flowers had indeed bloomed on the branch of the divine tree.

Not only had the divine tree that had been sleeping for nearly a hundred years awakened not long ago, but it had even bloomed!

Could it really be because the Divine Wood had sprouted?!

The high priest knelt down and cried in excitement. “Our Divine Wood clan is saved!”

…

The females were overjoyed to know that the Rock Wolf Tribe had won and their home was safe.

Mu Xiang was anxious. As soon as she heard that the commotion was over, she quickly ran down the mountain. After finding Jiu Yuan and Feng Lan, who were drenched, she rushed forward and hugged them. She kissed each of them.

“You guys are awesome!”

The surrounding beasts saw this and laughed kindly.

Jiu Yuan was already used to this and did not mind being laughed at by everyone. Feng Lan was a little shy, so he was slightly embarrassed by the laughter.

Sang Ye brought Huanhuan and the tiger cubs home, while Big Goody ran down the mountain with her three younger brothers to look for Shuang Yun and Bai Di to see if there was anything they could help with.

The tiger babies were young and easily tired. They were already asleep.

Huanhuan gently placed them on the bed and covered them with a blanket.

She walked downstairs and saw Sang Ye preparing breakfast in the kitchen. She quickly rolled up her sleeves and helped him work.

They had expended a lot of energy last night, so they specially doubled the amount of breakfast.

Even though they had a big iron pot, they still had to cook three rounds.

When Bai Di, Shuang Yun, Xue Ling, and the wolf cubs returned, the food was ready.

Everyone was starving. They sat down on the carpet, grabbed the fragrant food, and ate it.

Huanhuan was not very hungry. She casually drank a bowl of meat soup and put it down.

She circled the four male beasts, checking them for injuries.
