Chapter 834 Assassination

Huanhuan got someone to find ivory and make a bone knife similar to the divine artifact.

The two bone knives were placed together. Other than the slight difference in texture, there was almost no difference.

Two days later, she called the second elder over and handed him the bone knife made of ivory.

"Take it and report back."

The second elder's injuries had yet to heal. His head was wrapped in thick gauze, and there were several deep scratches on his neck and the back of his hand. He looked rather disheveled. Fortunately, his face was rosy and he looked well.

He had seen the prophet take out the divine artifact before, but he had only seen it once. Moreover, he could not see it clearly from a distance.

He only knew the general appearance of the divine artifact, but he did not know the details.

At this moment, he looked at the bone knife in his hand and was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. "Y-You really want to give the divine artifact to the first elder? What if he gets this divine artifact and uses it to deal with you?!"

His reaction told Huanhuan that the imitation of the bone knife was very successful.

Even the second elder had been deceived. It shouldn't be difficult to deceive the first elder.

Huanhuan waved her hand as if she didn't care. "Take it. Remember to hand it to the first elder personally. As for the reason why I'm doing this, you'll know in the future."

The second elder's mind was filled with shock and confusion.

However, Huanhuan was unwilling to tell the truth, and he couldn't force her to either. He could only carefully put away the divine artifact and turn to leave.

As soon as he left, Huanhuan immediately pulled her family out to shop.

This was Eggy's first time in the City of 10,000 Beasts. She was curious about everything here. She flapped her wings and flew around. It wasn't enough for her to just be looking around.

Clement also stuck his head out of Huanhuan's sleeve and looked around.

There was a group of beasts performing at the entrance of the street. They had leaves in their mouths and were playing a cheerful tune. Dozens of small snakes followed the music and twisted their bodies rhythmically as if they were dancing in a group.

This scene was quite interesting.

Huanhuan watched with relish.

When Eggy saw the twisting snakes, she muttered softly, "Clement looks better when he's twisting like that."

Clement stuck out his snake tongue. "Hiss~"

'These are just vegetables. They're not comparable to me!'

Huanhuan smiled and teased, "Clement, come and twist for me to see too."

Clement turned his head away and refused her.

He didn't want to perform with these vegetables. Even if he wanted to perform, he would have to wait until there was no one around in the future. He would show it to his mother alone.

The small snakes twisted and suddenly jumped up, pouncing on Huanhuan!

"Be careful!" Bai Di was quick and pulled her behind him.

Xue Ling raised his hand and threw a fireball, burning all the small snakes into charcoal.

The three beasts who were blowing leaves and controlling the small snakes suddenly jumped up. They pulled off their clothes and transformed into three blue and white pythons. They opened their bloody mouths and pounced at Huanhuan and the others!

At the same time, dozens of killers hiding among the surrounding passersby appeared one after another. They transformed into snakes of different sizes and pounced on Huanhuan and the others!

At the critical moment, Xue Ling picked Huanhuan up and flew into the sky.

Bai Di and Shuang Yun all transformed into their beast forms. The ground under their feet turned into frost, and lightning soared into the sky.

Due to his special identity, Sang Ye could not transform into his true form. However, as a snake beast, he knew the movements of snake beasts very well. Even if he could only maintain his human form, he could easily avoid the attacks of those snake beasts.

Huanhuan stuck her head out of Xue Ling's arms and looked around the countryside. She saw more than a dozen beast killers appear from all directions and rush toward Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye.

The passersby who were gathered on the street were so frightened that they fled. Soon, they were gone.

Clearly, this was a premeditated assassination attempt.

Huanhuan saw that those killers were all snake beasts and couldn't help but have a thought. "Among so many beast cities, only Dark Moon City has the most snake beasts. We have a grudge against Dark Moon City. Could these killers have been sent by them?"

Xue Ling nodded. "It's very likely."

These killers were all soul beasts with extraordinary strength. The weakest of them was a three-starred soul beast, and the highest was a six-starred soul beast.

If the targets were only ordinary soul beasts, they would have long been wiped out.

However, their target was Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Sang Ye.

Bai Di and Shuang Yun's strength was close to full stars. Sang Ye's strength had even broken past full stars.

If it wasn't because Sang Ye could not transform into his beast form now, he would've been able to deal with all the killers in front of him alone.

He worked together with Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and the others and quickly defeated those killers.

Seeing that the killers could no longer fight back, Huanhuan said excitedly, "Let's go down!"

Xue Ling flapped his wings and landed steadily on the ground.

When Shuang Yun passed by them, he naturally extended his big tail and swept it across Huanhuan's calf.

It was ticklish!

Huanhuan couldn't help but laugh. She grabbed the Silvery Frost White Wolf's big tail and followed him. "Remember to leave one of them alive for questioning."

Bai Di specially chose a leader to leave alive. The others were killed on the spot to prevent another disaster.

In the end, these dead beasts all became Clement's tea and were swallowed by him.

The only one left alive was taken away by Shuang Yun.

By the time the guards in the city rushed over after hearing the news, the street had already become clean. There was not even a dead person.

When the leader of the guards saw that the person who was attacked was the successor of the prophet, he quickly apologized. "I'm sorry we came late and frightened you."

Huanhuan indicated that she was alright and everything was fine.

The captain of the guards quickly asked, "May I ask where those killers are now? We'll arrest them now!"

"They've all been dealt with."

"Huh?"

He had just heard that there were nearly 30 assassins, but Huanhuan only had four mates with her. There were also two cubs. They were not considered a force to be reckoned with.

It was a fight between four beasts and 30 tough killers, but they could actually escape unscathed.

This was too unbelievable!

"You can look for all the vendors who set up stalls nearby and ask if any suspicious people appeared before we came here. Those people came aggressively. They must have been prepared. There are still many things I need you to investigate slowly."

The captain of the guards clenched one hand into a fist and pressed it to his chest. He said respectfully, "It's our honor to serve you, Lady Huanhuan!"

"Go ahead. We should go back."

"We'll take you back."

"No need." Huanhuan declined the other party's kindness and led the family back.

When the sun was about to set in the afternoon, Shuang Yun returned.

He brought the assassin to the camp where the beast soldiers were stationed and tortured him. The assassin was stubborn and refused to say who was behind it. In the end, he bit his tongue and committed suicide when no one was looking!
