Traveling through the world of beasts: Beast husbands! Stop snatching!

When he woke up in the morning, Chi Miao looked much better and ate more than last night.

Yuan Xiao asked him with concern: "How do you feel now? If you are not feeling well, we can rest for another day."

Chi Miao shook his head: "I'm fine, don't waste your time, let's continue on our way."

He gave his clothes to Yuan Xiao for safekeeping so that he wouldn't have to be naked when he went ashore.

After giving Yuan Xiao a gentle look, he jumped into the river.

Zehui packed up the tent, hid the smell and traces, and set off with Yuan Xiao on his back.

It was not until the sky gradually darkened that they arrived at their next stop. This place was very close to Crystal City. If everything went well, they would be able to enter the city before tomorrow evening.

Zehui was grilling meat, Yuan Xiao was eating fruit, Chi Miao changed his clothes and sat opposite Yuan Xiao, glancing at her from time to time.

Yuan Xiao pointed at Chi Miao's wet hair and said, "Your hair is too wet. You will catch a cold. Do you want to dry it?"

Zehui: "How do I dry my hair? What if it catches fire?"

Yuan Xiao imagined Chi Miao's hair blowing out and his face covered in black and gray, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Chi Miao smiled and said, "My hair doesn't get burned that easily, but there's no need to dry it deliberately, it will dry on its own after a while."

The three of them laughed softly, and the atmosphere of the dinner became relaxed and pleasant.

After eating the barbecue, the aroma of the meat had not yet dissipated, so Zehui went to a farther place to dispose of the bones.

He worked quickly and finished it in no time.

On the way back, Yuan Xiao was arguing with Chi Miao.

Yuan Xiao: "You are not fully recovered yet, just sleep in the tent."

Chi Miao: "No, I can just sleep in the water."

Yuan Xiao: "Isn't the water too cold?"

Chi Miao: "Fortunately, I have adapted to it."

When they saw Zehui coming, they both stopped suddenly. Chi Miao walked up to Zehui first and said to him, "I'm going to sleep in the river tonight."

Zehui nodded and looked at Yuan Xiao again. He felt that she seemed to have something to say.

"I... I'm just afraid that he will catch a cold again..." Yuan Xiao became less and less confident as she spoke, and in the end even she herself couldn't figure out why she had to argue with Chi Miao.

Zehui patted her shoulder gently: "I know you are just worried about him, but he also said that he is fine, just let him be."

"But..." Before Yuan Xiao could finish her words, Chi Miao had already jumped into the water, leaving only his clothes on the shore.

Zehui carried Yuan Xiao into the tent and lay down with her in his arms.

His voice was a little low, but very gentle.

"Do you like Chi Miao?"

Yuan Xiao was a little overwhelmed by his sudden question: "No, I don't like him... I just don't want him to get sick..."

Zehui stared at her face, trying hard to capture her changing emotions.

"You seem to like him. Don't think too much. I'm not unhappy. I just want to tell you that the mermaids value chastity more..."

Zehui suddenly fell silent before he finished speaking.

Yuan Xiao pushed him: "And then?"

"Shh..."

Zehui signaled her to be quiet.

He heard a very subtle sound that made him feel a little uneasy.

He gestured to Yuan Xiao with his hands, and with the tacit understanding between the two, Yuan Xiao successfully understood what he meant.

Zehui gently opened a small gap in the tent and crawled out.

Yuan Xiao was in the tent and seemed to hear a little splash of water, then Ze Hui and Chi Miao whispering a few words, and then the sounds of fighting and biting were heard.

She quickly covered her mouth and nose, fearing that she would be discovered.

Suddenly, someone approached the tent and opened the curtain.

Yuan Xiao was so frightened that she almost screamed. When she looked closely, she found that it was Chi Miao.

"Shh... don't make any noise!"

Chi Miao grabbed her and quickly dived back into the water.

He conjured up a big bubble to cover Yuan Xiao, ensuring that she could breathe freely underwater.

Zehui was dealing with those uninvited guests at this time.

A few dog beasts were no match for him. He easily defeated them all without even a scratch.

These dog beasts don’t look like wild beasts. Zehui also finds them unfamiliar and estimates that they probably came back from Crystal City.

But what puzzled him the most was that those dog beasts were obviously trembling with fear before they attacked. They knew they couldn't win, but they still went ahead to die.

Could it be that someone was instructing him?

Ze Hui couldn't help but fall into deep thought. At the same time, Chi Miao carried Yuan Xiao ashore.

Because of the protection of the bubbles, the little female didn't get wet at all.

Chi Miao, naked, quickly handed the little female to Ze Hui, then turned around and dived back into the water.

Although he was very fast, Zehui still noticed why he was so anxious to get back into the water.

Zehui: "I have something to tell you."

Chi Miao's ears turned slightly red, and his expression was a little unnatural: "What's the matter? I'm here to listen."

Ze Hui: "It's okay. Crystal City may not be peaceful. We need to be more cautious when entering the city tomorrow."

Chi Miao nodded slightly, turned around and swam away.

Zehui shouted to the water: "Don't go too far."

Yuan Xiao was puzzled: "It's so late, where is he going? Is he in danger?"

Zehui smiled and kissed her forehead: "Don't worry, sleep well, it's okay, the water is his home ground."

They set out at dawn the next day.

Because of the incident last night, Zehui became more cautious and unconsciously quickened his pace, arriving at the gate of Crystal City in the afternoon.

It is called a city gate, but it is just a few stones piled up with a piece of wood. It is incomparable to the current city gate of Tiger and Lion City.

They were moving quite fast, which made Chi Miao, who already had to travel some distance over land, seem even slower.

Yuan Xiao: "Should we wait for him?"

Zehui: "We have already agreed. I will take you in first. When he arrives, he will go in to find us. After we finish our business, we will separate here."

After saying that, he looked around carefully before walking in cautiously.

Yuan Xiao and Ze Hui were both shocked by the scene before them.

The ground was littered with orc corpses. Their deaths were extremely tragic, and it seemed that they had fought fiercely with humans before they died.

Zehui said nothing and continued walking forward.

He had been to Crystal City once many years ago, and vaguely remembered that there should be an arena made of crystal here, because there were magical instruments on it, and it could also be used as an altar.

You should know that this is the only altar on the continent of the Eternal Forest.

He carried Yuan Xiao to the front of the altar and saw an old man sitting in the center of the altar.

He was in tears, but he was calm and ready to die.

However, when he saw Zehui, his defense was broken in an instant.

"You finally came!"
