The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 242 Accidental collision
Shi Ruoan held the medicine and fell silent as she listened to Wu Si's words.

Changing one's face without changing one's expression—what's the difference between that and only caring about the head and not the butt?
Us knew this was a bit far-fetched, but the color of a merman's hair and fish tail was not easily changed by external means. He gave Shi Ruoan an awkward smile, then bowed respectfully and quickly made his escape.

Shi Ruoan looked at the medicine in her hand, wondering whether or not to use it.

His hair and fishtail colors are quite unique in the far north.

Merfolk in the far north mostly have lighter-colored hair and fish tails, while dark-colored merfolk like him live more outside the far north.

From birth to becoming the High Priest, Shi Ruoan never met her biological father.

Although his mother and the High Priestess of Shi Zhou were sisters, their personalities were completely different.

Shi Zhou has a strong personality and is clear about his likes and dislikes.

His mother is a bit absent-minded and has a gentle personality, but because of this, she is never short of male suitors.

His mother was an extremely emotional person who was always moved by those clumsy lies from men and repeatedly fell into the emotional traps of scumbags.

To say that his mother didn't understand male lies is not necessarily true.

She simply enjoyed the time during each relationship when the men were busy taking care of her and carefully trying to make her happy.

Shi Ruoan didn't quite understand her attitude towards life, but she always expressed her respect.

Therefore, his mother actually gave birth to twelve children in total.

He was the fourth child.

The biological father should be a member of the deep-sea merman race.

His mother and the deep-sea merman did not stay together for long. She only discovered she was pregnant after returning to the far north and eventually gave birth to him.

Because his mother formed families quickly and broke up even faster, he wasn't very familiar with his brothers and sisters.

After being chosen as the next priest in his childhood, he was taken to the Sea Sacrifice Temple to study and live. He did not see his other relatives often, and at most he would feel sorry for his mother.

But his mother was very busy and didn't have much time for him.

Therefore, his relationship with his other relatives was generally neutral, or even nonexistent.

Perhaps he grew up in the Sea Sacrifice Temple, or perhaps he has a detached personality and therefore doesn't have a high need for affection.

Because he had received some guidance from High Priest Shi Zhou, he would take good care of his cousin Shi Panxing after High Priest Shi Zhou left. Over time, the two became much closer.

However... after thinking for a moment, Shi Ruoan decided to apply the medicine to her face.

Dark-skinned merfolk might have a hard time sneaking into the merfolk palace, but they could still manage to take a look at the northernmost frontline defense line.

Occasionally, merfolk from the outer seas appear in the more remote areas of the far north, and they are mostly young merfolk with a strong sense of curiosity.

The far north seas generally don't target these merfolk from the outer seas; they just warn them to leave as soon as they've had their fun and not interfere with their normal guard duties.

Shi Ruoan calculated the time and estimated that she should remember to make a round trip before dark.

So after the potion took effect, he moved a rock aside, crawled out of the narrow opening, and quickly headed north.

……

After darkness fell completely, Bai Qingyu regained his composure and led a team of men to replace the warriors responsible for dealing with the inferior beasts.

After removing the boulder blocking the cave entrance, a strong stench of blood filled the air, along with a heavy smell of burning.

Bai Qingyu looked at the scattered firelight on the ground in the distance, the rapidly moving black shadows, and the various roars of beasts. Suddenly, he turned his body to the side, and his left hand instantly transformed into wings, slashing sideways at the empty space in front of him. At the same time, his neck tilted back slightly, but as his body returned to its original position, a line of blood appeared between his furrowed brows.

The person behind him sensed the sharp wind and his movements, and immediately gripped his weapon tightly.

"Everyone be careful——"

Bai Qingyu only gave a reminder before the person had already moved from their original position.

Having spent a lot of time with Ling Chengen, he has gradually become accustomed to fighting together.

Ling Chengen possesses remarkable psychic abilities, enabling him to perceive many things invisible to the naked eye. Moreover, he can warn those around him of potential dangers even when the other party is far away.

Having this ability can help people around you avoid a lot of trouble.

Such an incident, where someone is ambushed by a vicious beast as soon as they emerge from the cave, is almost impossible.

The beast that scratched his forehead was extremely small and incredibly fast.

Bai Qingyu's night vision ability is among the worst of the beastmen.

Therefore, when faced with such inferior beasts whose dynamic behavior cannot be captured by the naked eye, he has to rely more on his combat instincts to deal with them.

After Bai Qingyu finished off the small inferior beast, one of the several human-beastmen following behind him asked, "What was that inferior beast just now? It was so fast, I didn't even see where it came from."

“It looks like a flying spider,” the orc with a pair of furry ears and long black lines standing up on the tips of his ears replied. “But I’m not really sure. I only saw two pairs of wings, which are rather thin… It could also be a mutated dragonfly.”

"Dragonflies aren't that fast, are they? If it were a dragonfly, I could definitely catch its trail with the naked eye."

"Then it's most likely a flying spider."

"Can Qingyu handle it? Aren't the orcs of Hanshan not good at night battles? I heard that their crane clan warriors have much worse night vision than us."

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go help!"

Lin Ying, emerging from the bushes, heard their discussion and slapped their tails on their backsides, scolding them with exasperation.

Flying spiders, as the name suggests, are a type of spider with two pairs of wings and are relatively rare.

The shape of its wings is seven or eight parts similar to that of a dragonfly.

Therefore, this type of flying spider is also known as a dragonfly spider.

The difference between the two is that flying spiders have trace amounts of venom in their mouthparts. If you are bitten by a flying spider, the wound will feel a strong stinging sensation that will last for one to three days.

During periods of persistent pain, redness, swelling, and pus may occur. If left untreated, the wound can become fatal.

However, a single healing spell from a wood-type warrior can completely resolve the issue.

If it's a dragonfly...

That means there might be a group of them nearby.

A group of people, clutching their buttocks where they had been struck by the snake's tail, quickly chased after Bai Qingyu, cursing under their breath.

Bai Qingyu's strength is beyond doubt, and they are not worried at all that he cannot deal with a small flying spider.

but……

"That bastard Lin Ying is too ruthless! It hurts even more than a beast's beating!"

"Yeah, yeah, that bastard, when we get back to the tribe, I'm going to beat him up... I feel like my tailbone is about to break."

The group chattered and cursed as they approached the scattered, wicked beasts ahead.

Bai Qingyu paid no attention to what was happening on their side, but focused on dealing with the elusive flying spider.

The flying spider is about the size of two fists of an adult male orc, with its wings making up two-thirds of its body. It flies lightly and silently when it is in normal flight, and only when it suddenly accelerates to attack will there be a very subtle sound of wind.

Bai Qingyu was more sensitive to sound, so apart from the first time he was successfully ambushed by the flying spider, he was never successfully approached by it again. However, he also never managed to hit a flying spider.

Although only two or three minutes had passed since he left the cave, Bai Qingyu was getting a little impatient after three unsuccessful attempts to counterattack. He wanted to instinctively cut off the flying spider's wings.

Round water droplets gradually floated into the air.

As the water droplets hovered, Bai Qingyu slowly closed her eyes.

Since he can't see the inferior beast, he doesn't need to use his eyes. The water droplets controlled by his supernatural ability can replace his skin and allow him to perceive all the subtle changes around him.

The round water droplets gradually cracked open, becoming smaller and smaller until they were no longer visible to the naked eye.

Tiny water droplets suspended in the air constitute a thin mist.

She suddenly started dancing in the darkness, startling the surrounding orcs.

However, upon noticing that the weapons were only present in a small area, the orcs of the Stone Forest knew that the scene was likely caused by supernatural abilities. Their initial panic gradually subsided, and they continued to focus on dealing with the enemy while moving away from the fog area.

For those who rely on night vision to fight, the fog will diminish their advantage and instead put them in danger.

Bai Qingyu felt a faint stinging pain between his brows, but he had neither the mood nor the time to care about it.

Suddenly, the muscles at the corners of his eyebrows and eyes twitched.

coming.

The bluish-black flying spider locked onto his location the moment it entered the fog.

Bai Qingyu scoffed lightly. As expected, flying spiders don't rely on their eyes to determine the direction of their prey.

After confirming this, his mood didn't improve much.

The harmless water droplets floating in the air, once the flying spider stepped into the fog zone, lost their previous harmlessness and roundness, slowly gathering and gradually stretching into sharp shapes.

When the flying spider was only a finger's width away from Bai Qingyu's eyelids, its wing suddenly broke off, but it still hurtled straight toward his eyes.

Bai Qingyu had already raised his right hand to block in front of him. The flying spider crashed into the wings, which were as hard as metal and stone, and its body was cut off by the edge of the wings.

Bai Qingyu looked down at the flying spider that had fallen to his feet, its body broken in two, and slowly dissipated his supernatural power.

As the mist dissipated, he suddenly swooped down, transforming into a blue crane in the low sky, his sharp beak piercing directly through the neck of a horse-shaped beast.

But piercing wouldn't kill the beast, so he didn't hesitate to use his sharp wing edges to cut the horse-beast in half, then took off and aimed at a hawk circling high in the sky.

Du Qi was dealing with the Ferry Eagle. As a junior who was often taken care of, Du Qi lacked combat experience and found it extremely difficult to deal with the sixth-tier Ferry Eagle in the air whose abilities were unknown.

In just one or two minutes of fighting, he had three or four deep wounds on his body.

As the blood flowed, the stench of it fueled the already frenzied beast, making its attack even more ferocious and vicious.

Bai Qingyu leaped out of the forest and appeared directly below Du Ying.

The inferior beast, which was trying to accelerate and knock Du Qi away, also noticed the danger below. However, due to its excessive speed of attack, it was difficult to change its flight direction at the last minute, so it was hit by Bai Qingyu.

Bai Qingyu used his beak to tear open the chest and abdomen of the falcon, then turned and threw the falcon with its broken sternum toward Du Qi, and said sternly, "Take out its heart stone."

Du Qi originally thought he would either die or be seriously injured this time, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better. After hearing Bai Qingyu's order, he raised his claws without hesitation, grabbed the inferior beast that had been thrown over, lowered his head and used his hook-like beak to probe into the inferior beast's chest, and pulled out the heart stone inside.

The moment the Heart Stone was lost, the once ferocious beast became like a toy that had lost its power.

After Du Qi released his claws, he plummeted straight down from the sky, crashing into a giant tree tens of meters tall with a loud bang. Startled, the orcs fighting below hopped away like rabbits, managing to dodge the falling branches. They turned and yelled upwards, "Who is it? Who is it? Don't you know to warn us before throwing things?"

Instead of being killed by the beast, he was almost seriously injured by his teammates...

If they were carried back to the tribe, people would laugh their heads off.

Du Qi hovered in mid-air, a Heart Stone dangling from his mouth, staring blankly down below, about to apologize...

The heart stone fell and hit the warrior on the forehead, who was about to get up and continue to teach the beast a lesson.

Bai Qingyu's night vision wasn't very good, but the warrior below had a fire-based ability. The surrounding messy vegetation had just been ignited, illuminating the space below. It would be difficult for him to pretend he didn't see it.

The warrior was struck by the enormous heart stone, and a bloody gash immediately appeared on his head...

Bai Qingyu: "..."

Du Qi stared blankly down below, and said in a daze, "If I explain to him that I really didn't do it on purpose, will he believe me?"

Bai Qingyu paused for a few seconds, looking at the bloody wound on his wing, and said uncertainly, "Go down and find a wood-type warrior in the team to stop the bleeding..."

"We'll talk about the rest after the battle."

Du Qi flew down anxiously to find their team's medic.

However, the situation of the soldiers below was not so good.

He dodged the beast that fell from the sky, and the beast that had been fighting him also avoided him.

After being struck on the head by the Heart Stone, the warrior was stunned for a few seconds. The beast opposite him, which had already adjusted its state, seized the opportunity when he was stunned and suddenly pounced from the corner, opening its bloody maw to tear at his neck.

Bai Qingyu had already noticed the inferior beast and wanted to come down from high above to rescue it, and warned the warrior, but in battle, victory or defeat can be decided in an instant.

Bai Qingyu continued to swoop down, but felt it was too late.

Just as the beast opened its mouth, only a meter or two away from the warrior's neck, a giant ghost spider suddenly emerged from among the fallen leaves. In the instant the beast leaped over its head, white spider silk suddenly wrapped around the beast's neck, pulling it down from mid-air.

With its legs adorned with various sharp, poisonous barbs, it lifted up and cleanly pierced the beast's heart, pushing a round heart stone out of the beast's corpse.

Bai Qingyu looked at the giant ghost spider, changed his flight path, and brushed past it over the trees.

After landing on the ground, he looked at the Stone Forest warrior who had escaped death and reminded him, "Don't be careless. That Heart Stone didn't hit you on the head on purpose. It was a young warrior who wasn't even an adult yet. He lacked experience and made a mistake during the battle. Please forgive him."

The soldier with the bump on his head immediately waved his hand upon hearing this: "No, no, no, I should thank you for saving me, otherwise today..."

The soldier was both laughing and crying. Although Bai Qingyu missed it, he did remind him.

If Bai Qingyu hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have been able to even instinctively dodge.

After Bai Qingyu reminded him, he understood that completely dodging was unlikely, but avoiding a fatal wound was still possible...

However, he never expected that a ghost spider beastman was hiding under the tree that had just fallen.

Bai Qingyu told the still-frightened warriors to go back and rest, while he nodded his thanks to the Ghost Spider.

This ghost spider beastman is named Ke Yang, and he is Lin Ying's subordinate.

He had been relatively unknown before, but his ability to hide was unexpectedly impressive. If he hadn't taken the initiative, no one would have noticed his presence.

Lin Ying, who ruled the mountain, had gathered a group of men, each with their own unique strengths.

"How did you end up hiding there?" Bai Qingyu was genuinely curious.

Ke Yang shrunk his size a bit, scratched his head with his forelimbs, and said apologetically, "I've been there the whole time, waiting for an opportunity to attack any passing beasts."

"Unexpectedly, the tree suddenly fell down and knocked me to the ground."

"It took me a while to get out, and when I looked up I saw the beast attacking, so I stepped in to stop it..."

Luckily, he was an earth-elemental being, otherwise he might not have been able to save that person.
