Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

"Little female. Do you have any misunderstanding about me?"

Bai Shan opened her big watery eyes and looked at Mona innocently.

Mona was secretly surprised. She had never expected Bai Shan to be so good at reading people's expressions. After all, he had transformed from evil thoughts into life and then into human form. She had never expected him to be able to see into people's hearts so clearly.

"No. I'm just worried about everyone. I'm afraid these ghosts might do something bad."

"No. You asked them to wait outside, and then called this man named Bai Ze. You were on guard against me."

Bai Shan did not mince words when he said these things. When all the tribesmen here heard this, Bai Ze felt unhappy.

He walked straight towards Bai Shan and slapped him on the back. He pointed at Mona and said, "She is my mother. These are my father. These are my brothers and sisters. Why can't I come here?"

Bai Shan heard his righteous words, which made sense. He thought they were family, and blood was thicker than water. So he touched his head awkwardly and chuckled a few times.

"Oh, so you're the male cub of the new Beast God. My apologies. No wonder you have such great pure power."

"Tell me, what do you want to say?"

Bai Ze had also been out there for so long, and had seen the warmth and coldness of human nature. So he looked directly into Bai Shan's eyes and went straight to the point. Bai Shan was stunned for a second. He said calmly.

"No. I just feel like the Beast God has excluded me, as if I have bad intentions. Actually, I don't have such thoughts. Although I am a creature formed by evil thoughts, I have returned to my roots. They also gave me the surname Bai. Although I am not one of their cubs, I am also one of you. Don't worry, I will never harm you."

Bai Shan patted his chest as if to promise something? Or to make a promise? Bai Ze looked at him and saw that he didn't seem to be faking it, so he immediately asked:

"Well, since you put it that way, we believe you've made it this far, or at least you've conquered all the obstacles. So, where should we go next? Can you give us the right directions?"

"Of course. After passing the ghost land, the hellfire is ahead."

"Hellfire. What is this?"

Bai Ze had completely inherited the ability to listen carefully, so he explained it to everyone very seriously.

"My ancestors controlled this hellfire when they served in Hell, and I learned about it from the manuscripts."

"Stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly!"

"In ancient legends, Hell is a place filled with pain and suffering, and Hellfire is the most terrifying of these. It is a flame burning with sin and pain, capable of imprisoning human souls in Hell forever, subjecting them to endless torment.

The color of Hellfire is deep red, and its flames flicker with eerie light, as if countless souls are struggling and crying out within. This flame is extremely hot, capable of instantly burning a person's flesh to ash, while the person's soul will be imprisoned within the flames forever, unable to escape.

It is said that Hellfire is caused by humanity's sins and evil. When people commit unforgivable sins in the mortal world, their souls are consumed by Hellfire, forever unable to escape rebirth. This flame not only burns the body but also the soul, inflicting endless pain and suffering. Legend has it that Hellfire is controlled by the Lord of Hell, an evil being wielding immense power and foul magic. He uses Hellfire to punish those who have committed sins, condemning them to endless torment in Hell.

"That's not right, Bai Ze. You said the King of Hell is an evil being, but his karmic fire is used to punish those who commit crimes and make mistakes. Isn't that contradictory?"

Bai Ze scratched his head, thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the King of Hell is not completely evil. He just fights evil with evil to maintain a certain balance." When everyone heard this, they all looked puzzled.

At this time, Bai Shan said, "No matter what, we have to get through this hellfire. I heard there is a magical herb called Lingjing Grass that grows in extremely cold places. If we find it, it may be able to resist the hellfire."

The group decided to split into two groups, one to search for the Spirit Crystal Grass and the other to explore the Hellfire. Bai Ze led some of the tribe to search for the Spirit Crystal Grass, while Bai Shan and the rest headed to the Hellfire.

Only Mona and the beast husbands looked puzzled. Bai Shan knew too much. The spirit crystal grass in the extremely cold land was on the edge of the northern continent, and this place was deep in the southern continent! Everyone looked at each other, and even Jin Jue saw the trick! Shut up and said nothing!

Arriving at the edge of the karmic fire, the scorching heat hit them. Just when everyone was worried, Bai Shan discovered some faint passages in the karmic fire, as if they were specially prepared for some special people.

At this moment, the team that went to look for the Lingjing Grass came back. Although they did not find the Lingjing Grass, they brought an old man named Ice Qilin with them. Wushuang went to greet him.

"Senior, why are you here!"

"Old man, can't I come and help you if I'm fine? Or do you think I'm too old and useless?"

"Senior, we have always respected you. It is the juniors' fault for asking you to come all the way to help!"

The Ice Qilin elder waved his hand, "Mona, I am also a member of the Beast World, a member of your family!"

Everyone nodded and smiled kindly at the Ice Qilin. The Ice Qilin looked towards the land of karmic fire, frowning.

"This karmic fire is not simple. Even with the Spirit Crystal Grass, it would be difficult to escape unscathed. All living things will melt when exposed to fire. It is a thousand times more powerful than magma!"

Bai Shan stepped forward and asked, "Senior, do you have any ideas?"

Bing Qilin glanced at him and said, "There is a way, but it's extremely risky."

Everyone gathered around, their eyes anxious. Ice Qilin said slowly, "We need to find the source of the karmic fire and seal it with the power of pure goodness. Only then can we temporarily weaken the karmic fire and open a path."

Bai Ze stood up and asked, "Then how do we find the source of the karmic fire?"

The Ice Qilin pointed to a vortex in the karmic fire, "That's the direction, but anyone who gets close will suffer the pain of being burned by the karmic fire."

Bai Shan was silent for a moment. "I'll go. I was originally a person of evil thoughts, but now that I've turned to good, I should take a risk for everyone. Little female, give me the crystal ball of good thoughts, in case I need it!"

Mona took out the crystal ball of kindness, and her eyes were still fixed on the kindness lines inside, when Bai Shan snatched it away.

Everyone was shocked. Just as Bai Ze was about to intervene, Bai Shan had already flown towards the vortex. A faint glow emanated from his body, resisting the onslaught of the karmic fire.

Just as he was about to collapse, a mysterious force suddenly surged within him. It was the awakening of a trace of the divine beast's original power he had gained during his journey to reunite with his ancestors. With this power, he successfully located the source of the karmic fire and sealed it with the crystal ball of kindness. The karmic fire instantly weakened considerably.

Seeing this, Bing Qilin quickly said, "Everyone, hurry up and get through. This tiny thought of kindness won't last long. I'll go get that kid!"

The Ice Qilin turned into a blue light and disappeared in front of everyone. Everyone passed through smoothly and had more trust in Bai Shan.
