There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

Upon hearing Zhujian's slightly threatening voice, Miantao immediately realized that he was still the same guy who could severely injure Mengji with a single swipe of his tail, and she had actually been staring at his tail like that.

That tail must have been his most treasured possession.

"Hello... I'm Cotton Peach, and I'm a Mongoose." Cotton Peach stopped looking at his tail and then introduced herself.

Sure enough, after Miantao stopped looking at his tail, Zhujian also lost his previous seriousness.

“Zhujian,” Zhujian nodded and said.

"Um, have you always lived in these mountains?" Miantao asked curiously.

"Yes, this is my home. I usually catch those few birds to eat," Zhujian said calmly. "But you, little one, what are you doing in this mountain?"

"Hmm... I actually came to this mountain with my dad and some friends to catch those birds. But, I think I went a little too far, hehe~" Miantao scratched her head and chuckled.

Zhujian understood; so that's how it is.

"Didn't your father tell you that I live in the mountains? How dare you come to my territory looking for food?" Zhujian said with a meaningful smile.

Mian Tao didn't know why Bai Jie and the others insisted on coming to such a dangerous place to find food, when they clearly had plenty at home.

“I did say that, but my friends seem to really want to eat the food here,” Miantao said, looking down, a little embarrassed because she didn’t know why.

Zhujian sneered after hearing Miantao's reply. "You want to eat the food here? Heh, you probably came here for me."

"Since that's the case, you should go back quickly. One last thing, don't come here unless it's important...?" Before Zhu Jian could finish speaking, he felt a strange energy rushing towards his brain.

"Roar!"

Zhujian let out a huge roar, dispelling the strange energy that had been in his mind.

This familiar power is the power of that group of unknown leopards from last time.

"Mian'er! Get out of there quickly, Daddy will hold them off here!" Cotton Peach's father had just seen a one-eyed, long-tailed divine beast standing next to his daughter and immediately knew its identity.

When Miantao saw her father, she was first overjoyed, then panicked. This Zhujian wasn't a particularly bad beast, and he hadn't done anything to me, so why did we suddenly start fighting?

Zhujian was filled with rage, glaring fiercely at Miantao. Could this guy be bait?!

Cotton Peach Father lunged directly at Zhujian.

"No! Father, Zhujian isn't bad..."

Cotton Peach cried out, but unfortunately, as soon as she spoke, an even louder sound drowned her out.

"Roar!" Zhujian was not to be outdone, and lashed out at Cotton Peach Father with its tail.

It can be said that Zhujian's tail is his true form, containing almost all of his power.

This tail has immense power.

Cotton Peach Father looked at the tail that was whipping towards him. He sensed a strong sense of threat within it, his pupils contracted, and he hurriedly gathered his dream energy into a single point to defend against the attack.

"Snapped!"

Cotton Peach's figure retreated a few meters. When the tail lashed at him, his energy defense shattered after a short while. Then, two layers of light emanated from his body: one was the familiar power of dreams, and the other was unfamiliar to him.

However, that unfamiliar light shattered instantly, but the familiar dream energy behind him helped to offset most of the damage.

Cotton Boll's father's breathing was a little unsteady.

"Father!" Mian Tao was a little flustered; her father was injured!

She hurriedly ran to her father's side.

"Daughter, didn't I tell you to leave? What are you doing here again?" Cotton Peach's father said nervously. He couldn't handle this Zhujian. If it weren't for the energy of the Pixiu, he would have been lying on the ground just now.

"No, no, I want to protect Father!" Mian Tao's tears had already fallen, and then she turned to look at Zhu Jian, who had been quite good-tempered when she was talking to him just now.

Cotton Peach's father was stunned for a moment. He shook his head, bit Cotton Peach's neck, and threw her far away, leaving her behind on the battlefield.

"Daddy!"

"Hehe, can you withstand one hit, or two?" Zhujian's tail lashed out at Cotton Peach's father again.

Cotton Boll Father gathered his energy, trying to block this attack.

But without Bai Jie's two layers of protection, how could he possibly withstand it?

"Snapped!"

Cotton Boiler was sent flying by the blow, experiencing unprecedented pain.

The days I spent living with my daughter seem to flash by like a revolving lantern.

"Hopefully, that Pixiu can take good care of Mian'er..." Mian Tao's father thought to himself. Even if he could survive this, he would definitely die next time.

"Bam—"

The expected pain of a back impact didn't come; instead, I felt something soft, like... a cloud?

"Hey, Cotton Peach Daddy, are you alright?" Bai Jie's voice rang out from behind.

"Father! Are you alright?" Miantao's voice came from behind.

Bai Jie happened to see the cotton boll being thrown out and immediately had Si Bu Xiang catch it.

Just now, the four-legged creature used clouds to help Cotton Boll Daddy offset most of the force.

Bai Jie had now transformed into a giant Pixiu. He touched Mian Tao's father, whose claws and arms were bruised and purple, and whose ribs were probably broken in many places. Fortunately, he was caught by a cloud in the end, otherwise he would probably have been injured even more severely.

"Sibuxiang, Miantao, you two stay here and take care of him. I'm going to meet that guy," Bai Jie instructed Sibuxiang and Miantao.

“No problem, leave it to me,” the Four-Faced Beast nodded.

“Okay!” Cotton Boll said.

Si Bu Xiang put the injured Cotton Peach Father on the ground and gave him a few sips of water from the prepared water bottle.

When Si Bu Xiang first heard Bai Jie say that a beast's shield had broken, he poured his saliva into the water jug, which should come in handy.

After drinking a few sips of 'water,' Cotton Peach's father felt his injuries recovering rapidly and was amazed. What kind of water was this? His injuries were healing so quickly!

"Cough cough cough—that Pixiu, watch out for its tail!" Cotton Peach's father said weakly.

He could barely speak now, but he still needed to rest, so he drank a few more sips of 'water' to stabilize his injuries.

Not only does it taste good, but it also has therapeutic effects. These two guys actually dared to bring out such a treasure. That's what he was thinking.

"Okay," Bai Jie replied upon hearing Cotton Boiler's father's reminder.

The tail? That guy's tail is indeed very powerful, as can be seen from the story and Cotton Peach's condition just now. It seems we should try to avoid a direct confrontation with that tail later.

Bai Jie was mentally formulating a battle plan.

He looked at Zhujian's tail, his eyes full of vigilance.

Zhujian noticed that the newly arrived golden divine beast was also eyeing his tail, and his anger flared up instantly. Sure enough! One or two of them were here to covet his tail! They all deserved to die!
