CHAPTER 81: CHAPTER 81: PROTAGONIST HALO

Feeling Wen Shu’s stiff body, Mious tightened his arms and asked worriedly, "What’s wrong, you haven’t been yourself since just now..."

He recalled the fleeing male and connected it with Wen Shu’s concerned attitude, his pupils dangerously narrowing into pinpoints, "Did that male do something to you!"

Seeing his intense reaction, Wen Shu was afraid he would hurt someone if they met again, and quickly interrupted his speculation, "No, he saved me from the snow, he might... be Wu Xuan."

Hearing this familiar name, a hint of surprise flashed in Mious’ eyes, how could it be?

Recalling the scent of that male, he pursed his lips seriously, if it was really Wu Xuan, he might be close to turning into a mutant beast...

"Did you notice anything unusual?"

The female asked urgently, her voice echoing again.

Mious stared at her transparent eyes, hesitating.

Females indeed can heal small areas of toxins, but she’s not the Beast God, how could she reverse a Beastman’s transformation?

Besides, who can guarantee that Wu Xuan, on the verge of turning into a mutant beast, won’t suddenly lose control?

Seeing Mious fall into silence, Wen Shu understood and lowered her brows in disappointment, "I understand..."

To have saved her so timely, Wu Xuan might have been following her all along.

But what exactly happened to him, why wouldn’t he come out to see her?

Without waiting for her to think of an answer, everything in front of her suddenly dimmed.

She pulled back her thoughts and couldn’t help but look up.

She saw the tall wall getting closer, a massive shadow that seemed like a grotesque giant mouth slowly descending from above, with flying beasts landing in this darkness.

Upon reaching the destination, the Beastmen one after another leapt to the ground.

Wen Shu left Mious’s embrace, just standing steady, a deep, rough inquiry sounded from the wall.

"Who are the people outside!"

The Beastmen probably encountered such a situation for the first time, and all looked up.

From below, the bluish-black stone wall seemed to reach into the clouds, and to defend against enemies, a row of small holes were opened about ten meters high on the wall.

At this moment, dozens of chest-armored guards vigilantly peeked out, the one speaking was at the head of the squad.

Noticing their complete ignorance of the early snow season, the journey-weary Beastmen grew a bit indignant.

One daring male ran to the wall’s base and loudly questioned, "We are Beastmen from the Su’en City territory tribe! The snow season came early, does Beast City know nothing?"

Other Beastmen whispered in the shadows.

"What’s going on, has the Beast God Stone really failed?"

"How frightening, what will we do? Live in constant fear from now on?"

Wen Shu too grew worried, the heroine was supposed to receive the Beast God’s inheritance a year later, becoming the continent’s savior.

But now, she hasn’t even left Su’en City a few times, how could she possess the power to save the Beast World?

If the Beast God Stone truly failed, the consequences would be unimaginable...

The Beastmen’s discussion grew more intense.

Yet, the guards on the wall remained on full alert, the lead male warned, "How could the snow season arrive so early, if you don’t tell the truth, beware of being treated like rogues!"

Su’en City, as an Affiliated City of the Empire, is the frontline defense between the Empire and the dense forest.

These guards have been stationed for years, repelling rogues and battling mutant beast groups for the safety of Beast City, so their minds are very cautious.

But seeing their attitude, the Beastmen’s emotions grew increasingly agitated, "What do you mean!"

"You arrogant city beasts, falsely accuse us as rogues! I think you are the Empire’s parasites!"

Upon hearing these words, the guards turned sour, their faces quivering with anger, "You all!"

Seeing the situation about to spiral out of control, Enzo quickly stepped forward, raising his hand to calm the tribal Beastmen, "Everyone, calm down!"

"I am the leader of the Snake Beast Tribe," he looked up at the guards and pulled a patterned beastskin from his pack, held it above his head and unfolded it, "This is the city entry totem we received last year, the snow season came so suddenly this year, if you don’t believe..."

He pointed behind him, "You can send a flying beast to check, a thousand meters away, you can see the snowy mountain."

Enzo’s words were reasonable, and seeing the uniquely patterned beastskin in his hand, the guards on the wall glanced at each other, promptly dispatching a flying beast to verify.

During the wait, the indignant tribal Beastmen couldn’t help but quietly criticize Beast City’s management.

Finally unable to tolerate it, a rebuttal voice emerged, "How could the Beast God Stone fail, you are disrespecting the Beast God!"

A label came down, quieting the Beastmen.

The voice continued, "In my view, the newly appointed High Priest is derelict! This guy is known as a well-known waste among the nobles, when he first arrived at Beast City, he couldn’t even use the Beast God Stone!"

The Beastmen were unfamiliar with Beast City’s affairs, but hearing his confident words, their thoughts quickly shifted.

Wen Shu was doubtful, the voice seemed familiar; turning around to see who it was, she was momentarily stunned.

A squad of soldiers in black beastskin armor pushed through the crowd, the handsome youth leading them was Bai Yan.

Behind him, four Beastmen carried a simple wooden stretcher, on the thick beastskin lay a tall and strong male.

He had deep-set eyes, his face as pale as paper, if not for the rise and fall of his chest, and the dark light fading from his turquoise eyes, he looked almost like a corpse.

The male protagonist’s halo is truly strong, he didn’t die!

Noticing her gaze, Craig also looked over.

Meeting her sharp gaze, his serious expression had a trace of stupefaction.

But he quickly became aware of his lapse, pressed his chapped lips and a piercing coldness flashed in his eyes.

This female is too dangerous...

Wen Shu stared him down, sharing similar thoughts.

Craig wasn’t dead, and this male protagonist was dead set on opposing her, making her situation in Beast City very precarious.

And hearing the male’s words, the guards above looked towards them, realizing who was lying on the wooden stretcher, they became frantic, "Lord Craig! How did you get injured!"

Craig withdrew his gaze, looked up at them, forcefully holding his body upright, and whispered, "Lu Yi, the snow season came early, open the gate, cough cough!"

His injury wasn’t healed, after speaking he covered his mouth, blood seeping through his fingers, swiftly hiding it with his sleeve.

Sharp-eyed, Lu Yi’s brow twitched, immediately ordering, "Report to the City Lord, which gate is the Body Inspection Stone at today?"

After a quick briefing with his men, he looked apologetically towards the Beastmen, "I’m really sorry, everyone, please head to the east gate, Su’en City welcomes your arrival!"

As soon as he finished, the Beastmen fell silent.

The next moment, they transformed into beast shapes, afraid to be slower than the others, rushing towards the east, leaving behind flying dust.

The abruptly vanished Beastmen left Wen Shu momentarily stunned, "What’s with them?"

However, no one answered her question, Mious directly picked her up, covered her with beastskin, and swiftly charged to the front of the pack.

If they arrived late, they might be waiting in line until midnight.

If the female’s body isn’t well, what if the injury worsens?
