There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

Shizhe Mountain is quite far from here. Even though the Four-Unlikes can travel a thousand miles a day, it would still take several days to reach it.

The flight was incredibly boring, as there was nothing to entertain me, and I couldn't sleep, lest this silly, shapeless creature be suddenly attacked by something while I was asleep.

Even with the backup plan that the Primordial Qilin had given to the Four-Faced Beast, Bai Jie was still worried. This idiot—when would he even realize he was being attacked?

Bai Jie lay on the head of the Four-Faced Beast, watching him control the auspicious cloud and fly north.

"Four-Faced Beast, are you tired? Do you want to go down and rest for a while?" Bai Jie said to Four-Faced Beast.

It's already afternoon, and they haven't had lunch yet. To be precise, the Four-Unlikes haven't eaten. Bai Jie could take some gold bars out of his head as a snack.

Upon hearing Bai Jie's voice, the Four-Faced Beast said, "Hmm, I'm not tired. I'll fly a little longer~"

"You haven't had lunch yet, go downstairs and get something to eat before you continue," Bai Jie said, tugging at Si Bu Xiang's ear.

He also wanted to get down and move around. After lying on the head of the Four-Faced Beast for so long, he felt like he was becoming a useless beast.

"Ok."

Feeling a burning sensation in his ear, Si Bu Xiang replied, thinking to himself, "Little Golden Thread really cares about me!"

The Four-Unlikes controlled the auspicious clouds and flew to a relatively open area to land.

"I'll go get some food first. Jinxian, wait here for me," Sibu said to Bai Jie.

"Go on, go on, I'm not like that Tianlu guy." Bai Jie said, indicating that she wasn't that disobedient and wouldn't make the beast worry by wandering around.

When did this four-legged creature become so fussy? Who taught it to do that?

The four-legged creature squinted, smiled, nodded, and then flew up into the clouds to devour the mist.

Bai Jie stretched her body and jumped a few times on the spot. Hmm~ Although it was quite comfortable to lie on the head of the Four-Faced Beast, it was definitely more reassuring to have her feet on the ground.

I remember the last time he was in a coma for a year, when he woke up he couldn't use his strength at all, which made him suffer terribly.

Bai Jie's nose twitched as she smelled a familiar scent—it was...the smell of earth?

It wasn't the soil beneath my feet, but the smell emanating from humans.

"It should be nearby, let's go take a look," Bai Jie thought.

Bai Jie walked towards the direction of the smell. Behind a tree ahead, there was a little boy lying there, his arm bound by a thorn-like plant, the blood flowing from it already congealed.

Bai Jie looked at the little boy in surprise; he was still breathing! But he was a bit weak.

Bai Jie thought for a moment and decided to save him. He was just a child, and he had just used his dream energy to sense the surroundings and found no other creatures nearby.

Bai Jie broke the thorn and tossed it aside.

Even the little boy with his eyes closed couldn't help but frown, but thankfully he didn't wake up.

After the thorns left the boy's arm, blood flowed from the wound again.

Bai Jie took out the red grass from her storage space, chewed it into a paste, and then applied it to the affected area.

"That should solve the problem," Bai Jie thought.

"Water..." Although the language the boy spoke was not the Chinese that Bai Jie understood, she could still understand what he meant.

He's actually awake? This is a bit of a hassle. I'll just grab some water and get out of here.

After thinking it over, Bai Jie walked to the nearby river, made a simple water cup out of grass leaves, filled it with water and put it in her storage space. Then she quickly returned to the boy's side and poured the water into his mouth.

Hmph~ The water cup I made is actually quite pretty, isn't it? I do have a bit of an artistic talent.

Seeing that the boy's condition had stabilized, Bai Jie felt relieved.

She placed the cup next to the boy and turned back to where she had come from.

Bai Jie looked at the four-legged creature not far away. It seemed that he had finished eating, and quite quickly at that.

"Little Golden Thread, where did you go? Didn't you say you'd wait for me here?" the Four-Faced Beast said, somewhat angrily.

He panicked a little when he realized that Bai Jie was not where he was when he came down. He thought he would wait here for a few minutes, and if Bai Jie did not come back, he would go out to look for her.

"Haha~ I just went to the river to drink some water. Look, I'm back safe and sound~" Bai Jie waved her paw.

Si Bu Xiang then approached Bai Jie and checked her over, confirming that she indeed had no wounds.

He licked Bai Jie's face and said, "Okay~ Next time if you're thirsty, tell me, and I'll bring Little Golden Thread."

"Okay, okay, let's go and keep going!" Bai Jie jumped onto the head of the Four-Faced Beast and then continued their journey north.

. . .

The boy had actually woken up the moment Bai Jie turned around.

Fear was evident in his eyes, and he kept his mouth tightly shut, not wanting the beast in front of him to discover him.

The boy finally let out a heavy sigh of relief after Bai Jie had walked away.

Only then did the boy notice that the wound on his right arm had been covered by a clump of red mud.

He recognized it; in the tribe, it was the most common form of treatment.

Somewhat surprised that the beast had healed him, he tried to stand up, but his left hand touched the cup that Bai Jie had made earlier, which still contained a little water.

"Was it...that beast that just saved me?" the boy wondered.

Why did that strange beast save him? The boy shook his head, deciding not to think about it anymore. Staying here might lead to encountering some ferocious wild beasts, which would be even worse.

He had been chased by a tiger, and only managed to escape from the creature's jaws by going through a thicket of thorns.

The boy knew the roads well, bypassed the dangerous area, and finally returned to the tribe.

"Xiao Cheng, where have you been!" a burly man said to him. He was the chief of the tribe and managed all the affairs of the tribe. He had discovered that his son was missing this morning and had only just returned.

Then he noticed the wound on his right arm, and his eyes narrowed. "You're injured?"

Upon hearing his father's question, Xiao Cheng recounted his experience from his trip.

"Is the beast you're talking about golden, with horns and golden markings on its thighs?" Xiao Cheng's father asked.

Xiao Cheng nodded.

His father exclaimed in surprise, "It was actually that divine beast!" For a period of time, the young people in the tribe had been plagued by nightmares, but a divine beast cleared all their nightmares away overnight.

Unexpectedly, this mythical beast was right beside them.

The burly man patted Xiao Cheng on the shoulder, asking him to describe the beast he had seen in more detail.

Then they found an old man in the tribe and had his image carved on a stone slab, which was placed in a prominent position in the tribe so that everyone could go and worship it.

The burly man decided to go out with Xiao Cheng again to try their luck; perhaps they could catch another glimpse of the mythical beast?

Bai Jie's faith power rose again, but he was comfortably perched on the head of the Four-Faced Beast and didn't notice.
