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

Zehui was moved when he saw the old man crying bitterly, but he still remained vigilant.

He asked the old man, "Do you know me?"

The old man nodded, looking a little excited: "You are Zehui, the Tiger King."

"you are…"

The old man wiped the tears from his face and said tremblingly: "I am the high priest of this Crystal City."

"What about the city lord?"

When he heard Zehui ask this, he became excited again.

“The city lord died a long time ago. Strangely enough, whenever a city lord is elected in Crystal City, he will die of illness in a short time. No one is immune.

So over the years, I have sent away city lords one after another, and I am the only one who is struggling to support this city."

Zehui and Yuan Xiao looked at each other and couldn't bear to ask any more questions.

The old man understood their thoughts, wiped his eyes and continued: "When things are peaceful, I can support it alone, and my old bones can still bear it.

A few days ago, a group of monsters suddenly appeared from nowhere, clamoring to flatten the orc world. They burned, killed and looted in Crystal City, and in a few days it became what it is now..."

The city was in ruins, and the old man felt pain in his heart when he saw it.

"Before they left, they said that the next city would be Tiger and Lion City..."

Yuan Xiao's heart trembled when she heard this, and she subconsciously grabbed Ze Hui's arm.

Zehui hugged her and kissed her forehead: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He frowned slightly and silently thought about this matter in his mind.

“In fact, there has always been a legend in Crystal City that says a crystal beast soul is sealed in this city, waiting for its master to come and unseal it.

But no one knows what this beast soul is, why it is trapped here, and where its owner is.

It is stubborn by nature, and will kill anyone who does not sit on the throne.

It left a token, a box without a lock but cannot be opened. Today I will take you to see it."

The old man stood up trembling, and Zehui immediately followed him to support him. Only then did he realize that under the loose and baggy sacrificial robe, the old man was already very skinny.

The three of them walked to the back of the stone pillar, on which was engraved a strange totem. The old man covered it with his palm, and a secret door appeared in the center of the altar. He held onto the wall and walked down the stairs step by step.

"You guys... come with me."

The old man waved his hand and asked them to follow him down. Zehui was a little hesitant. He was afraid that there was something fishy going on and didn't want Yuan Xiao to follow him.

But he felt a little worried if he left Yuan Xiao alone there.

It would be nice if someone was with Yuan Xiao. He suddenly thought of Chi Miao.

Logically, he should have arrived by now, so why hasn't he come in yet?

While he was hesitating, the old man had already walked away, and a vague voice was heard.

"Wait till I get up there."

After hearing this, Zehui did not go downstairs, but waited for him upstairs with Yuan Xiao.

After all, he was old and his legs were not in good condition. There were some rustling sounds below, but no one came up for a long time.

"Why don't you go down and take a look, just in case..."

As Yuan Xiaozheng and Zehui were talking, they heard him shout from under the secret door: "Come over and give me a hand!"

Zehui hurried over and saw him standing at the bottom of the stairs with a small box at his feet.

He walked down quickly and picked up the small box. Although the box was not big, it was unexpectedly heavy.

"Be gentle, don't break it."

The old man gave instructions as he followed Zehui.

The small box was finally moved to the ground. A thick layer of dust had accumulated on its surface, as if it had been there for a very long time.

The old man blew gently, and all the ashes disappeared, revealing the true appearance of the box. The three people came forward at the same time.

The box did not have a lock, and there were some incomprehensible silver totems on it. Yuan Xiao felt that they looked familiar, but couldn't remember where they were for a moment.

The old man lifted the lid, but it didn't move at all.

"Look, I can't open it, why don't you try."

He glanced at Zehui, who glanced back at him, then nodded and reached out to lift the lid.

The lid remained motionless.

The old man's eyes gradually dimmed, revealing disappointment.

"It seems that you are not that person either, nor are you..."

Yuan Xiao thought the box was quite exquisite and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

The silver totem on the box immediately flashed a light.

"Hiss..." Yuan Xiao felt as if her hand was burned by something, and the stinging sensation made her quickly pull her hand back.

This scene happened to be seen by the old man and Zehui.

Hope rekindled in the old man's eyes: "Child, try again!"

Yuan Xiao was a little scared and didn't know what to do, so she subconsciously looked at Zehui.

Zehui looked at her and nodded: "Don't be afraid, just give it a try, I'm here."

She calmed herself, took a deep breath, and reached out to lift the lid.

The silver totem glowed again. She endured the pain and lifted it up, but the lid still did not respond.

Yuan Xiao couldn't bear the pain and finally let go.

"Why is this happening?" she couldn't help but ask.

Zehui didn't understand the trick either, but the old man looked very excited. He said to Yuan Xiao excitedly: "Although you couldn't open it, judging from its reaction, that person should be someone related to you!"

"Related to me? You mean my relatives or partner?"

"Not necessarily. It could be a relative or a partner, or a friend, or someone you will meet in the future. In short, it is someone who will appear in your destiny."

So that's how it is. Yuan Xiao began to count the people she met after coming to the Beast World.

Zehui has tried it, but he is not. Then there is Yunfeng, who should also be allowed to try. Then there is Chi Miao...

"By the way, Chi Miao, why hasn't he arrived yet?"

It was getting dark, and she felt a little uneasy. She had originally planned to go back after coming here, but she was still a little reluctant to leave without seeing Chi Miao.

"Let's go look for Chi Miao. I'm a little worried about him." Ze Hui said to Yuan Xiao.

Yuan Xiao hugged his neck and kissed him: "You always know what's in my mind."

Zehui carried Yuan Xiao on his back and bid farewell to the old man. The old man insisted that he take the small box with him: "This box is of no use to me. The child has a connection with this box. Maybe you can still use it in the future. If you can open this box, maybe you can save Crystal City."

In the end, Zehui and the others chose to take the box and leave Crystal City.

Zehui carried Yuan Xiao all the way to the nearest river.

There were still many traces of water on the ground that had not dried up yet. Ze Hui lowered his head and sniffed, and could still smell Chi Miao's scent.

It seems that Chi Miao did reach the shore, but no one knew where he went after that.

He carefully checked the surroundings again and smelled something that did not belong to this continent...
