Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

"You are overestimating yourselves! You think you can seal me?"

The Sea Demon's arrogant voice echoed from underground. The barrier shook, and the seal cracked again! Everyone was horrified and hurriedly used their magic to try to repair the crack. But the Sea Demon's power was too great, and the crack in the seal grew wider and wider.

Just then, Mona and Bai Chen appeared with their four cubs. The cute cubs, dressed in white robes, held staffs. Though less than half the staff's height, they bore a majestic expression. They chanted something and cast a strange spell. A beam of light shot from the staff's tip, pouring into the seal.

The cracks gradually closed, and the Sea Demon's voice faded. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, curiously asking Mengzi about the situation. Mengzi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "This is only a temporary suppression. To completely seal the Sea Demon, we need to find another artifact." With that, Mengzi waved his hand, and the staff vanished.

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and worry.

"Little one, why are you here? And what's with this staff, Mengzi?"

"Brother Ying, we were summoned by our bloodline and came here specifically. As soon as we arrived here, a ball of light shot into Mengzi's body, and then she had a magic wand in her hand!"

"It was the old senior who passed on the power to Long Qing, and the staff has recognized its master and is in the hands of the cute kid!"

"The seal and barrier are safe for now. Cute kid, what is the missing artifact you mentioned?"

"It's the Soul of the Earth!" The childish voice was filled with dominance.

"What is the Soul of the Earth? I have never even heard of it, let alone seen it!" Jin Jue pouted at himself!

"I know a little about this. Legend has it that the Soul of the Earth is located deep underground. It is a divine stone with intelligence. It possesses infinite magic power and can suppress all evil. However, the location of the Soul of the Earth has always been a mystery, and few people know its exact location." Bai Chen said.

"No matter what, we must find the Soul of the Earth and completely seal the Sea Demon!" Mona said firmly.

So, they returned to the Sea King's Palace and searched for clues about the Earth Spirit in the ancient books collected by the Sea King. After searching hard for a while, they finally found an explanation about the Earth Spirit in a beast skin book with a missing corner.

"The animal skin said that there is a mysterious volcano deep in the Wutong Forest, which may contain the whereabouts of the Earth Spirit." Jin Jue said.

"Then let's go find the Wutong Forest!" Mengzai said excitedly.

"But this is missing a corner. I don't know where this Wutong Forest is! The Beast World is so big, where can I find such a place?"

"Let's go to the Phoenix Clan of the Northern Continent! We live in Wutong, and we do have a volcano, but it hasn't erupted in a long, long time. It's better to go and confirm it than to search all over the Beast World. We don't have that much time! The seal can't wait!"

"Okay, let's set off immediately. Sea King, I'll leave this to you!"

Everyone nodded and decided to embark on the journey to the Northern Continent. They were filled with hope and determination, believing that as long as they worked together, they would be able to find the Earth Spirit, and that the Wing from the Northern Continent would also meet him!

Mona and the beastmen split into two groups. Bixi and Qingli followed Wushuang to the Qilin Tribe to inform them of everything here, while Chiyan led them first to the Northern Continent and then back to the Phoenix Tribe. This way, they would be less visible and less likely to be spotted by Yi. Everyone remained vigilant along the way. After all, the Earth Soul was such a precious treasure that many people and monsters would undoubtedly covet it.

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived in the northern continent. However, the scene before them shocked them. It was the warm season, and everything was reviving. The landscape, which should have been lush and green, was now barren, as if it had experienced a terrible disaster.

"What's going on?" Mona asked in surprise.

"It seems something has happened here." Long Ying frowned, "We have to be careful."

"Chi Yan, there's no time to lose. Let's not delay any further. Take us straight to the volcano without alerting your people!"

Chi Yan led the others onward, avoiding the orcs through many twists and turns, and finally arrived at the legendary volcano silently. However, the crater was covered by a thick layer of rock, and it looked like it had not erupted for a long time.

"Could the Soul of the Earth really be here?" Jin Jue said with some doubt.

"Since this place is mentioned in the book, there must be a reason. Let's look for any clues." Mona analyzed calmly.

So, everyone began to search the surrounding area carefully. Soon, Mengzi discovered a strange stone with some strange symbols engraved on it. Mengzi tilted his head and tried hard to recall the things in his inherited memories, hoping to decipher these symbols!

The cute baby stared at the symbols on the stone for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he thought of something.

"Mother, please use your Five Elements Beads!"

"Okay, how to use it!" Mona asked the system's five elements beads.

"Put the gold beads here, and the earthen beads here..."

Mona arranged the five elements beads according to Mengzi's instructions. She looked up and asked Mengzi, "Mengzi, it's done. What else do you need us to do?"

"Brother Han and Brother Yan, stand by the water and fire beads. Uncle Long Qing, you stand by the earth bead. Father, you stand by the gold bead. I'll take care of the wood bead! Each of us will be responsible for one spirit bead, and we'll all work together to attack them later!"

Everyone nodded, waiting for instructions. Mengzi pointed at the symbols and whispered an incantation. A moment later, the Five Elements Spiritual Pearl shone brightly, forming a five-pointed star pattern in the air, its center shining directly onto a hidden stone. A moment later, a flicker of light shone from the stone, and then it slowly rose, revealing a hidden entrance.

Seeing this, everyone was delighted. It seemed that the Earth Spirit was probably inside.

"Everyone be careful, I'll go first, Long Qing will be the last one to go! Everyone follow closely."

Everyone carefully entered the entrance one by one and walked along the narrow passage. The passage was filled with a fiery atmosphere and a strange light flickered on the walls.

As they walked, a massive stone gate appeared before them. Intricate carvings adorned the gate, exuding a mysterious aura. Mengzi approached, carefully examining the stone gate, trying to figure out how to open it.

Suddenly, she discovered a small hole on the stone door, facing the staff in her hand. There was an empty circular groove above the door.

"This small hole corresponds to the staff, and what does the groove above correspond to? Mother, Father."

"We don't know either, Chi Yan. Does your tribe know that there are secret caves in this volcano?" Mona turned and asked Chi Yan.

"I don't know either. The elders and the clan leader never mentioned it. I'm also confused! How could my clan not know a secret that other clans know?" Chi Yan was very annoyed. He was so annoyed that he wanted to punch someone.

"Do you think this groove looks a bit like a round object? I feel like I've seen it somewhere!"

"Brother Ying, you have seen it, think about it carefully!" Mona and everyone turned their eyes to Long Ying.
