Chapter 791 - 783: Direct and Unreserved (Second Update)
For some reason, when Su Muyao heard the word "Phoenix Tree," she felt a discomfort in her heart and couldn’t help but furrow her brows.
"Perhaps they’re talking about Phoenix Beastmen, not Immortal Phoenix Beastmen."
"Even if they are Phoenix Beastmen, they can survive without Phoenix Trees, without relying on external things."
Su Muyao didn’t want to hear anything about the Phoenix Tree.
Su Muyao said this, then turned to Yue Wuhen and asked, "By the way, Wuhen, did you see any Phoenix Trees when you went to the Phoenix Tribe ruins?"
Yue Wuhen shook his head and said, "There are many trees there, but indeed no Phoenix Trees."
Su Muyao said, "Then that’s it, it has nothing to do with the Phoenix Tree."
Not to mention, she is not a Phoenix Beastman but an Immortal Phoenix Beastman.
Forcibly linking with Phoenix Tree Beastmen is even more irrelevant.
Teng Lixuan didn’t expect Su Muyao’s reaction to be so intense just by mentioning it.
Mei Qingchen asked, "Do you have Phoenix Tree Beastmen among you plant-type Beastmen?"
Teng Lixuan said, "I’ve never heard of them, and there’s none in this Taixu Secret Realm. However, when I was injured and weakened by you before, and wrapped by our tribe’s Holy Tree to provide energy to heal wounds, I saw a line of blurry words in its Divine Sense, which are those few words Young Master Yue said, but they vanished in an instant."
"At that time, a beautiful Phoenix Tree also flashed by, but it was just a blurry scene, and soon became indistinct."
"I just happened to remember just now."
"But no one in the world has heard of Phoenix Tree Beastmen, and I’ve never seen a Phoenix Tree."
"If you ask plant-type Beastmen, they also don’t know about Phoenix Trees, nor what they look like."
"But I know what they look like."
"Miss Su, if you want to know, I can draw it for you."
Although it was very blurry, he remembered the appearance of the Phoenix Tree.
It emitted an extremely rich Spiritual Energy from it.
Su Muyao shook her head and said, "I don’t want to know."
At this moment, Su Muyao felt a very strange emotion, not wanting to learn about the Phoenix Tree.
Because just hearing anything about Phoenix Beastmen made her chest feel heavy and uncomfortable.
The system also spoke, saying, "Host, you are just yourself; you don’t need to care about any Phoenix Tree or Immortal Phoenix Beastman."
"Yes, I understand."
Teng Lixuan saw Su Muyao’s face wasn’t good and didn’t say more about it.
When they arrived outside a valley, Shen Ci’an descended from the sky.
"There’s a Restriction Barrier here, making it impossible to fly."
After Su Muyao landed on the ground, she curiously looked into the distance, "So many Beastmen."
She saw many groups of Beastmen with various kinds, and many clearly appeared to be plant-type Beastmen.
The attire of Beastmen here is more primitive compared to the outside Beast World.
However, the plant-type Beastmen’s attire was relatively better.
Some tribal Beastmen were pulling carriages filled with goods covered in Beast Skin; it’s unclear what’s inside.
Some tribal Beastmen wore Spatial Bags around their waists, presumably storing their items.
"Don’t they have Spatial Bags?"
Mei Qingchen explained, "Spatial Bags are Magic Artifacts, and in the Taixu Secret Realm, they are rather rare. You can only buy them in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, but exchanging for one Spatial Bag requires a lot of food, so for tribes with scarce food resources, they won’t exchange for Spatial Bags."
Su Muyao nodded in acknowledgment, as those people indeed seemed like small tribal Beastmen.
At the valley entrance, there were also two guard Beastmen.
Teng Lixuan noticed Su Muyao’s curiosity and proactively explained, "Miss Su, those are Ant Clan Beastmen."
"They look no different from normal animal-type Beastmen, but do you see the two white strands of hair on their heads?"
"Those aren’t ordinary strands; they have special abilities to transmit information among their clansmen."
"Even across distances, they can quietly send messages."
Su Muyao’s expression shifted as she observed the two white strands of hair amidst the black hair of the Ant Beastmen, like purposefully bleached strands for aesthetics.
Unexpectedly, they had special abilities.
Their skin was excessively pale, their figures were lean, and their brows and eyes carried a hint of coldness.
When their gaze swept over each Beastman, it gave an uncomfortable feeling.
As if scrutinizing something.
"Let’s go, let’s check it out first."
Yue Wuhen quietly probed with witch power, "We should best conceal our breath."
Su Muyao took out a few elixirs from her space, "Use these; I specifically prepared them to confuse our superpower aura, making it look like we’re ordinary people."
"But it only lasts for two hours."
Yue Wuhen softly said, "That should be enough."
They came here mainly not to exchange materials, but to investigate the hidden agenda of the Ant Clan Beastmen.
And that Xuanlin Whip.
If possible, Yue Wuhen wanted to get it for his wife.
He knew his wife wanted to acquire that Xuanlin Whip.
While they proceeded inside, suddenly a conflict arose at the outskirts of the valley entrance.
"Get lost, you lowly Beastmen, how dare you bump into us."
A plant-type Beastman inexplicably kicked a Beastman.
The Beastman fell to the ground.
"Sorry, we didn’t mean it."
"Your dirty hands touched my lady’s clothing, and a mere apology won’t suffice. You can’t compensate for my lady’s clothes with a cart full of goods."
"Also, you, a low-level Cat Beastman, dreaming of marrying a swan, trying to get close to my lady, what a daydream..."
The person continued to insult, and the Cat Beastmen troop kept apologizing.
The plant-type Beastman relentlessly struck back.
The rule of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is not to engage in combat within the valley market, but they will not intervene in outside conflicts.
But ultimately they restrained themselves, so the plant-type Beastman only beat and scolded without causing fatal injuries.
The Cat Clan Beastmen were furious but dared not offend the Feng Clan Beastmen.
Feng Clan Beastmen are plant-type Beastmen, strong in combat abilities, with a powerful clan holding the central position with abundant resources, beyond their reach.
Furthermore, plant-type Beastmen inherently look down on animal-type Beastmen, and being weak, they can only apologize to survive.
Su Muyao looked at the beaten Cat Beastman, who eventually transformed into its original form.
Seeing the cat’s true form, Su Muyao’s eyes trembled, and her face darkened.
She quickly reached the Cat Clan Beastman’s side like a gust of wind, "Stop."
Su Muyao couldn’t stand seeing the Cat Beastmen being beaten and scolded.
Just because, in the apocalypse, she had a cat pet.
Although that cat pet later had some strands of spirit...
But now wasn’t the time to think about that. Seeing it, she couldn’t let anyone abuse the Cat Beastmen like this.
This was the first time Su Muyao had seen a Cat Beastman since arriving in the Beast World.
She felt their true form was so beautiful, in white and blue hues.
When Su Muyao appeared, everyone looked at her with amazement.
This female is so beautiful, an absolute beauty.
Not only because of her appearance, but also her unique aura that stood like a source of light, drawing everyone’s gaze.
"Where did this female come from? Previously, I thought Feng Shanshan was the most beautiful, now I realize this female is much more beautiful than Feng Shanshan."
Mei Qingchen saw so many eyes on Su Muyao, his gaze turned cold and dark as he swiftly moved beside her to block everyone’s view.
Shen Ci’an also embraced Su Muyao, "Wife, leave this matter to us."
Yue Wuhen released a purple mist, blocking everyone’s view.
Su Muyao could see the outside, but others couldn’t see inside.
Feng Shanshan’s eyes revealed jealousy; how could someone be more beautiful than her?
Moreover, her Beast husbands were so handsome.
Additionally, she saw Teng Lixuan.
"Teng Lixuan, so you rejected being my Beast husband for this female."
"Fine, all of you go kill her for me, and make them my Beast husbands."
Feng Shanshan pointed directly at Su Muyao’s direction, ordering someone to kill Su Muyao.
Plant-type Beastmen detest someone and act directly and forcefully.
Su Muyao noticed Feng Shanshan’s extended wrist adorned with a bracelet, spotted with green and purple stones, resembling imperial green and lavender jade.
Su Muyao’s eyes lit up upon seeing it.
Could there be such mineral deposits in the Taixu Secret Realm?
