However, this couldn't go on forever, and Xia Gu was naturally still somewhat worried.

[Xia Gu: System, wake up quickly! Do you have any items that can completely block our presence? If so, please take them out quickly; this is a critical moment.]

She didn't want to miss the opportunity to mine ore because of this pack of wolves, nor did she want several people to be unable to rest because of this.

[Host, we do have this item, but you need to complete a new task first before we can award you the item as a reward.]

[Otherwise, I'll create a new task for the host: recruit another beast husband.]

Upon hearing the details of the mission, Xia Gu's face completely fell.

[Xia Gu: Are you really crazy? This is never going to end! Withdraw this task immediately! I don't want to complete it! You're going too far!]

Faced with such an absurd task, Xia Gu had no choice but to refuse outright. And where could she find a new beast husband under these circumstances?

It's ridiculous to think about it; all the system wants her to do is find a beast husband.

After finding a newborn, she continued to give birth to cubs, essentially treating Xia Gu as a perpetual reproductive machine.

[Since the host doesn't want to complete this task, they can choose to extract the power of a beastman. Extracting only half will allow them to successfully obtain the item.]

Xia Gu frowned as she looked at the beastmen in front of her at this task.

[Xia Gu: Why did you extract half of their power? What benefit does this bring you? This must be a huge blow to them.]

The system's tasks should have been primarily focused on them; even Xueqing could have used advancement pills to advance her rank.

Therefore, it is even more inappropriate to extract their power, as that would only weaken them in the short term.

[Don't worry, host. This task is actually quite easy to complete. You just need to make a choice. Besides, extracting their power will only weaken them for seven days.]

[After seven days, they will be able to fully recover their energy. The extracted power can be used to exchange for rewards. This isn't considered a mission; it's simply an equivalent exchange.]

After hearing the system's explanation, Xia Gu was finally relieved. If it was a proper equivalent exchange, then it would be understandable.

Looking at the three husbands in front of her, Xia Gu kept weighing them in her mind.

Xuan Li noticed that Xia Gu was acting strangely, and felt that Xia Gu was still troubled by Zhuang Zhuang's worries.

"Don't worry, Xiaxia, we're all here watching over you. You and the baby won't be threatened at all."

"Once we get rid of them completely, we can continue mining ore."

After all, Xuan Li wasn't thinking about resting in this situation, so he might as well hurry up and mine the ore so that Xia Gu could get the energy puppy she wanted.

That way you can leave this place as soon as possible and return to the mountain tribe, where you can rest and recuperate properly during your pregnancy.

Looking at Xuan Li, Xia Gu had already figured out the answer in her heart.

After all, Xuan Li does like to make sacrifices quietly, so if that's the case, then it's better to choose Xuan Li.

Anyway, she was carrying Xuan Li's child, so choosing him was indeed the best outcome.

[Xia Gu: Then let's choose Xuan Li. You can directly extract half of his power in an equivalent exchange. Hurry up, I don't want to wait that long.]

Xia Gu did feel somewhat guilty, but the system quickly extracted Xuan Li's power.

Suddenly, Xuan Li felt dizzy and weak. He propped his head up with one hand and shook his head.

"What's wrong with you?" Xue Lan asked, feeling a bit puzzled after seeing Xuan Li's condition.

Xuan Li could only hold on to Xia Gu's side, but Xia Gu still held Xuan Li in her arms.

"You look a little weak. Is it because I was injured last time and my strength hasn't recovered yet? You should stay with me and stay here. Don't push yourself too hard."

"And that pack of wolves shouldn't continue attacking us. They didn't gain any advantage just now, so they should have some sense, right?"

Xia Gu had no choice but to use other excuses to let Xuan Li rest beside her instead of constantly guarding her.

Hearing this, Xuan Li nodded and did not refuse Xia Gu. In this situation, he was more willing to listen to Xia Gu.

[Host, the item to conceal your presence has been placed in your inventory. You can take it out and use it at any time.]

Xia Gu didn't want to waste any more words and directly took out the prop to use.

Sure enough, the wolves hiding in the shadows lost their target and wandered away aimlessly.

Xue Lan was naturally very surprised to sense the departure of the wolf pack.

"What's going on? I think the wolf pack has already gone far away."

"Could it be that they're using some new trick again?"

Xue Lan hadn't expected this situation, so she remained very cautious.

Xia Gu sighed helplessly, but it was normal for Xue Lan to have these thoughts.

"Since they've left, it proves there's no problem. Let Xueqing guard the place for now, and we'll start mining the ore."

Xia Gu immediately issued the order, and Xue Lan had no choice but to comply.

Xueqing was always around, unwilling to miss any opportunity to supervise.

The other three were busy mining ore, and sure enough, ore was falling out one by one, but they didn't touch it.

This matter can only be left to Xia Gu, who is very excited when she sees the energy puppy.

We've finally found the energy puppy; it seems the system is finally being reliable this time.

Of course! Once is enough, twice is too much, but not three times, host. You should trust me!

Xia Gu did not respond to the system's confident words.

She took advantage of this free time to begin absorbing energy, and the puppy regained its strength.

After a while, Xia Gu felt a burning heat and unease in her body, which was a sign of absorbing the energy puppy.

Her strength had recovered to 50%, and Xia Gu felt a sense of satisfaction.

[Xia Gu: System, I've already recovered 50% of my strength, so I don't need your protection anymore. You should take this time to head back and upgrade.]

At this point, Xia Gu naturally offered her own suggestions, and it remained to be seen whether the system was willing to comply.

Since it's possible that a competitor was behind it anyway, going back to repair and upgrade it should prevent these errors from occurring.

[Okay, host, I'm willing to listen to you.]

After saying that, the system exited Xia Gu's world without making a sound.
