The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Smoke and dust billowed, the sound of trees collapsing was incessant, and terrifying roars echoed in all directions.

On the hilltop,

A house-sized behemoth raged, its breath whipping up a gust of wind that dispersed the surrounding morning mist, revealing the face of the evil spirit.

"Huff... Huff... I can't take it anymore."

Sensing the precarious state of his divine power, Bixie stopped in his tracks.

At this point, both physical and divine strength were running out. If they continued to maintain such a large manifestation regardless of the consumption, they would soon be exhausted. At that time, they would not even be able to maintain their basic original form.

Thinking of this, Bixie took a deep breath and began to shrink itself.

The giant beast that had been perched on the mountaintop slowly shrank until it disappeared, and as the dust settled, a scene of utter devastation was revealed.

The tree fell to one side, most of its roots were uprooted, with only a few remaining stuck in the soil.

Looking around again,

There were large, claw-shaped craters on the ground, and some of the turf had been swept aside, revealing the fresh soil underneath.

The other trees were also in a terrible state, some were broken, some were uprooted, and some were even thrown far away.

On the battlefield, which had been repeatedly ravaged, Bixie and Zhanhu stood tall, their bodies low to the ground, their eyes fixed on each other, and they were still panting heavily.

"Ha ha, Pixiu, after all this trouble, I am unharmed, but you are almost exhausted. I thought you would be troublesome, but I didn't expect you to be so easy to deal with."

Zhanhu's taunts had no effect; Bixie did not become enraged, but the look in his eyes became even more piercing.

Zhan Hu curled his lip upon seeing this. He knew this tactic was probably useless; the reason Bixie was so angry earlier was because he had injured the beast beside him.

Nevertheless, growing larger and launching a fierce attack is not entirely an impulsive act.

This action will certainly consume a lot of divine power, but don't forget there are two Pixiu nearby.

If the three beasts engage in a battle of attrition, then the amount of energy consumed is irrelevant. On the contrary, injuries cannot heal themselves in a short time. Therefore, suppressing the beasts by growing larger to avoid injury may not be the wisest choice, but it is certainly not a bad one.

Zhan Hu glanced discreetly out of the corner of his eye at Tian Lu, Yue Tian, ​​and Fei Fei standing there staring at them.

"Hmm? Where's that golden Pixiu?"

Upon discovering that Bai Jie was not there, Zhan Hu felt a sense of unease, but before he could think about it further, Bi Xie, who was confronting him, suddenly jumped away.

At the same time, Tianlu, which had grown larger, leaped in front of him.

"Hmph, as expected, it's a war of attrition."

Zhan Hu's expression grew increasingly solemn. Dodging Bi Xie's attacks was no easy task, and he was already quite exhausted. If he didn't find a way to break the deadlock, he might perish here.

As Zhan Hu was racking his brains for a solution, the aura of divine power suddenly approached, and he turned his head sharply.

Bai Jie ran quickly, carrying the hilt of a sword in his mouth. The tip of the sword carved a groove in the ground as it ran, easily cutting through pebbles and tree branches in its path, demonstrating the sword's sharpness.

Running to Bixie's side, Baijie spat out the sword from his mouth and looked at Zhanhu.

"Hey, I've found you the sword, can we stop fighting now?"

All the beasts' eyes were drawn to the sword. After seeing its appearance clearly, Bixie suddenly remembered the sword.

He obtained this sword during the Battle of Zhuolu, and later gave it to Tianlu as a snack. After settling down in Caiyun Mountain, Baijie once entered Tianlu's stomach and found the sword again.

It's no wonder it was Chi You's sword; it stayed inside the Pixiu's belly for so long without being digested.

"This is indeed my lord's divine sword, but why should I believe it?"

Zhanhu's voice brought Bixie back to his senses. He instantly looked over with murderous intent in his eyes. The battle just now had already aroused his ferocity.

"So what if you don't believe me? We'll just keep fighting!"

"Stop hitting me!"

Bai Jie grabbed Bi Xie's tail.

"Bixie, look at how badly you're injured. We're living in the modern world now, let's stop fighting and killing."

His younger brother's persuasion calmed Bixie down a bit. He suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and looked around at the land that looked like it had been ravaged by a disaster.

He didn't care about being injured; getting hurt on the battlefield was just commonplace for him. But this was his home, and the beautiful scenery near his home had been destroyed because of his impulsive act.

With a long breath, Bixie's fierce aura subsided, and he prepared to give up. However, Zhanhu had no such intention and instead kept a close eye on the divine sword, seemingly ready to snatch it at any moment.

Before Zhanhu could launch another attack, Feifei, who had been slacking off the whole time, suddenly jumped out and looked at the other party.

To relieve worries: to initiate.

In an instant, Zhan Hu stopped in his tracks. The fierceness in his heart inexplicably dissipated, and his mind completely relaxed. He saw through and understood many things that had been weighing on his mind.

Zhanhu had never felt so relaxed, as if all the burdens on his body had been lifted and he was free from all worries. However, in the next moment, he suddenly became alert.

"That was dangerous. If I had been attacked while I was in that state, I definitely wouldn't have been able to react in time."

Zhan Hu broke out in a cold sweat. Although he had managed to resist the ability to relieve worries for a moment, that momentary lapse in concentration could have been fatal in the battle.

After unleashing her skill, Feifei quickly retreated and hid behind Bixie. She peeked out and cautiously looked at Zhanhu, asking a question.

"Can we talk properly now?"

Zhan Hu hesitated for a moment. His negative emotions had dissipated, and since the other party was willing to give him the divine sword, there seemed to be no reason to continue fighting.

Having figured out the key point, Zhanhu stared at Bixie.

“I may not oppose you, but you must return my lord’s sword to me.”

"Tch, it's just a broken sword."

Tianlu crossed his arms and pouted.

Upon hearing this, Zhan Hu's eyes flashed with anger, and he was about to erupt again.

Seeing that things were not going well, Fei Fei quickly released another antidote.

"Phew~ Give it to me quickly!"

With a long sigh, Zhan Hu looked displeased. Admittedly, it felt good to relax, but the fact that he had suddenly let his guard down with a powerful enemy by his side still made him very uneasy.

"for you."

Bixie kicked the sword away.

The divine sword tumbled in mid-air, and under the sunlight, it seemed as if a cold glint flashed across its blade.

With a clang of the sword, the divine sword was planted in front of Zhanhu.

The camera turns,

On the road leading to Caiyun Village,

A sports car sped along, the country road strewn with gravel, the car lurching wildly as if it had Parkinson's disease.

inside the car,

Rabbit, looking pale and sickly, leaned against the passenger window, watching the scenery rushing past and feeling his stomach churning. He was devastated.

"Please slow down! I'm going to throw up if you keep doing this!"

"I really can't do it, boss. Besides, didn't you say you'd do it as fast as you could?"

In the driver's seat,

The driver, Rabbit, calmly continued driving, his foot still pressing the accelerator.

That's right, he was called back again. In order to get to Caiyun Village as soon as possible, this driving god, whose only flaw was his deadly skill, took the steering wheel again, even though he was driving without a license.

"Uh... I think Bai Jie might be able to handle it on his own, so let's take it slow."

Puss in Boots leaned back in her seat, dazed, her eyes glazed over and a mouthful of salty saliva. Beside her, the Four-Faced Beast and Bamboo also looked extremely pale.

"No, it's not that I don't want to slow down, it's that I really can't."

The driver, Rabbit, spoke leisurely, seemingly unaffected by the bumpy ride.

Suddenly a bend appeared ahead, and the driver turned the steering wheel to switch from the accelerator to the brake.

With a flick of the rear, the entire sports car began to spin, its tires crushing the gravel on the ground, creating an even more bizarre and bumpy ride.

Aside from the driver, all the other animals in the car felt dizzy and their faces turned pale instantly.

With a loud "whoosh," Zhu Zi vomited, and a large amount of turbid substance flowed out of his mouth like a flood. That was his breakfast for the day. He hadn't eaten lunch, so there was nothing for him.

Bamboo's vomiting seemed like a signal, and the three passengers, who were suffering greatly, could no longer bear it and also vomited.

In an instant, the stench of vomit filled the air inside the car, and the floor was covered with the food that the passengers had eaten that day, and even the late-night snack from last night.

The driver continued driving calmly, having anticipated this situation and finding it no big deal.

On the bend,

The sports car spun around the corner, completing two and a half rotations before suddenly accelerating straight ahead.

The car was swaying and could overturn at any moment, but the driver calmly turned the steering wheel to maintain the car's balance.

back seat,

The bamboo stalk that had just been mopped looked up, his face pale and as if he had been thoroughly wrecked, and he muttered a question.

"Director, why don't you call Bai Jie and ask? If they could handle it, there wouldn't be such a rush!"

The car fell silent instantly, and the three beasts, who were wiping the vomit from their mouths, froze.

After a while,

Puss in Boots, looking utterly bewildered, said, "I was in such a rush, I forgot."

Rabbit groaned and slumped into the car seat. He had forgotten that there was no signal in the mountains and he would have to wait until they reached Caiyun Village to make a call.

Let's return our perspective to the mountain where the Pixiu lives.

A group of beasts squatted at the door of the house, enjoying the cool breeze. Several chickens in the chicken coop peeked out, observing the situation. From time to time, Bai Jie's voice could be heard from inside the house, but the walls made it difficult for the beasts to hear clearly.

A short while later, Bai Jie came out of the house.

Xiaohang said they would discuss what to do with Zhanhu once the director and the others arrived.

After Bai Jie finished speaking, Zhan Hu nodded slightly and hummed in agreement. Although he didn't get along with Pixiu, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word since he had promised Puss in Boots to stay.

"Ha~ It's finally over."

Feifei stretched out on the ground in a cat-like yawn before looking at the divine sword in front of Zhanhu.

"By the way, how did you end up with this sword?"

After Feifei asked this question, Zhanhu turned his gaze over, clearly wanting to know as well.

"Uh, I got this during the Battle of Zhuolu."

Bixie glanced at Zhanhu, then began to recount past events.
