The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 228 (Extra Chapter) (Starting Again)

A white figure glided across the auspicious clouds, the layers of clouds resembling the ocean being rippled by a strong wind. The four-legged creature floated gracefully as if surfing on the sea of ​​clouds, with three Pixiu heads peeking out from its back, curiously experiencing the feeling of flying.

The Four-Faced Beast turned around and glanced at me, feigning nonchalance, and asked, "Speaking of which, isn't it better to stay at my house? Why did you have to come out and look for your big red guy and big pink guy?"

The three brothers all looked up when they heard the sound.

After encountering the Four-Faced Beast, the three brothers lived off the Qilin family for a while. When they were about to leave, they learned that the Four-Faced Beast could travel a thousand miles a day. They had not found any trace of Chaos along the way, so they decided to go back and find Dijiang first.

“You’re supposed to travel a thousand miles a day, so finding someone shouldn’t be difficult,” Pixie replied, tilting his head as he sat at the back.

Si Bu Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and snorted triumphantly. He mobilized the divine power within his body and poured it into the auspicious cloud beneath his feet. "Hmph, watch closely!"

Tianlu, who was a beat slow to react, subconsciously exclaimed "Huh?" The next moment, they suddenly accelerated, and the clouds and mist parted, leaving a ravine in their wake as their figures disappeared in an instant!

"Ughhhhhh?!"

The scenery between heaven and earth flashed by, and the strong wind hit our faces so hard that we couldn't open our eyes. The four-legged creatures rode on the clouds and galloped through the white sea of ​​clouds in the morning, sometimes plunging into it and then emerging again a moment later!

In a flash, they broke through the clouds and saw the ground once again: a clearing surrounded by green forests in the mountains, with only a single sapling standing tall and green. The familiar terrain made the three brothers recognize it at a glance.

"We're here! We've arrived! This is it!"

Following Bai Jie's guidance, the Four-Unlikes flew down to the open space, and the three Pixiu immediately jumped down and rushed to the small tree. The small tree was no more than half a meter tall, and its colorful leaves swayed gently in the wind.

Bixie lay down, sniffed, and stared at the sapling. "This is the place. It has our scent, and this tree is the mark we made back then."

Si Bu Xiang slowly stepped forward, curiously peering at the seven-colored sapling. Tian Lu, seeing him approach, explained, "Big Red is sleeping right here, but she's been sleeping for a long time. I don't know when she'll wake up."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The three brothers, oblivious to everything, lay in a circle around the sapling, their eyes still filled with anticipation. Si Bu Xiang opened his mouth, but was momentarily speechless.

A gentle breeze swept by, and his soft voice suddenly reached the ears of the three brothers.

"Your friend is actually dead, isn't he..."

The three Pixiu raised their heads and looked at him, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. Their puzzled questions floated from their mouths and entered the beast's ears.

"Death? What is death?"

"Die..."

Si Buxiang paused, his speech becoming increasingly slow and calm, a stark contrast to his usual style, as if he were recounting something unrelated to himself.

"Death means no more breathing, no more heartbeat, no more eating, no more playing together, and no more seeing each other again..."

The air seemed to freeze. The three brothers listened blankly as he finished speaking, his seemingly calm words pressing down like mountains, making it hard for them to breathe.

The colorful saplings on the ground swayed gently, their branches brushing against the bodies of the three Pixiu, as if offering comfort...

Tianlu was the first to break down; tears welled up in his eyes, and anger lingered on his face, like a child unwilling to accept reality.

"No! That's not what you're saying! Big Red isn't dead, she's just asleep!"

"us……!"

"us……"

"We're going to stay here with Big Red, don't try to fool me, don't try to trick us into leaving!!"

The Four-Faced Beast was slightly taken aback. "Uh, but I didn't lie to you. That's what my father and mother said. Divine beasts have varying lifespans, and death is inevitable."

As he spoke, he raised his paw, trying his best to comfort you, "Well, it's okay, you still have me. I'm a Qilin, I have a very long lifespan, and I can stay with you for a long time."

Tianlu felt increasingly aggrieved as he listened. Before he could even wipe away the tears in his eyes, he roared furiously, "Who wants to be with you! We've only known each other for 500 years, so don't try to get close to me!!"

"Eh?!"

The Four-Faced Ones froze, their eyes revealing disbelief.

While they were arguing, Bai Jie and Bi Xie silently looked down at the sapling, their eyes filled with complex emotions, their lips slightly pursed, creating an eerie silence.

a long time……

The faint sound of Tianlu's sobbing reached their ears. They instinctively looked up, tears streaming down their cheeks, dripping onto the ground and soaking the soil.

Tianlu trembled, his eyes brimming with tears, two tear tracks running down his face, each tear pulling a droplet down his cheek. "Since Big Red has already... already..."

"me……"

I still don't believe it!

As he spoke, he broke down in tears again, collapsing to the ground and sobbing uncontrollably.

Bai Jie went up and gently hugged him without saying a word. Tian Lu's trembling body paused for a moment, and Bi Xie also reached out his claws to hug his two younger brothers, and licked away the tears on his face.

"Stop crying, it's too noisy... We still have important things to do."

"Hmm? A warding-off-evil..."

Tianlu raised his eyes, his tear-blurred gaze filled with a hint of bewilderment as he looked at Bixie.

"Whether Red is asleep or... it looks like she won't wake up anytime soon. But we still need to find Pink; we can't just leave her here."

"Um... um..."

Thinking of the still-unknown chaos, Tianlu wiped away his tears and rallied himself.

With their new goal in mind, the three brothers' mood improved significantly. They put the strange talk of the four-legged creature behind them and decided to find their other lost companion before reuniting.

However, they then encountered other problems.

Bixie looked around, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "But so much time has passed, where are we supposed to find Big Pink?"

"We searched in the direction she left, but found nothing..."

The three brothers looked at each other, and after a long while, Bai Jie weakly offered his opinion, "Why don't we just follow the same path as before? After so much time, Big Pink must have gone quite far, so it's normal that he hasn't found us yet."

It seemed there were no other options. The three Pixiu quickly composed themselves, mounted the Four-Unlikes, and set off again.

Before long, they came across the village they had passed before, but this time the human settlement was in ruins, as if it had just been ravaged by ferocious beasts.

The four little ones went down to explore out of curiosity. In the deserted village, there were ruins, wooden baskets overturned by the roadside, and farm tools scattered haphazardly. They also found a stone slab...

"It smells like Pinkie Pie! And this painting too! She just passed by here, let's hurry, hurry, hurry!!"

Tianlu's excited shout suddenly rang out, startling away the birds flying overhead. A white shadow soared into the sky, circled once, found its direction, and disappeared in an instant.

……

Hua Hua Hua——

White tides wash over the golden sand, and the brilliant sunlight reflects off the sea, making it shimmer and the waves roll and leave a wet trail as the tide recedes, with blurry figures reflected on the azure water.

It was a Qilin, riding on auspicious clouds and hovering in mid-air. The salty sea breeze made its fur flutter, and three small heads peeked out from behind its head.

"They've flown so far, why haven't we seen the big pink guy yet?"

"Gululu——"

"Ugh, I'm so hungry. Never mind, I'll eat first."

Tianlu rubbed his shrunken belly, his green gaze sweeping over the sea fish swimming below.

The scene changes.

Bai Jie, with his butt sticking out, grabbed Bi Xie's claws and lowered them along the auspicious cloud. Bi Xie also held Tian Lu's claws. The two brothers swayed and hung in mid-air. Si Bu Xiang lowered the auspicious cloud and threw Tian Lu into the water.

Then the little fish on this sea surface suffered terribly. They were just passing by when a huge claw grabbed them and sent them into the abyss's gaping maw. Occasionally, a few would be thrown out of the water and fall into the mouths of two other Pixiu.

The four-legged creature flew rapidly close to the sea surface, carrying its three brothers as they swept across the nearshore waters. Wherever they passed, nothing was left behind, not a blade of grass grew, and even the seaweed was picked and eaten as snacks!

"Om-"

A long, resonant whale cry echoed through the heavens and earth. Tianlu, who was frantically eating and drinking, was startled and suddenly widened his eyes. A huge shadow appeared on the sea surface. The Four-Unlikes noticed something was wrong, grabbed Baijie in one bite, threw the three brothers onto its back, and suddenly rose into the air!

A colossal figure burst forth from the water, its resounding cry shaking the very soul. Its massive jaws snapped shut, but it only managed to bite empty air.

In the Northern Darkness there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so large, no one knows how many thousands of miles it spans!

"Boom——!"

The terrifying Kun crashed onto the beach, its powerful tail slapping the water and creating huge waves. After struggling for a while, it finally became helpless and stranded there.

Tianlu hovered in the sky, his eyes flashing, "What a huge piece of meat!"

Without hesitation, the three brothers jumped down together, their sharp claws tearing through the skin as they began to devour the food. The sight of them made the four-legged creature, which had just landed on the ground, twitch.

"Hmm, won't the Four-No-Face join us for dinner?" Pixie asked, turning his head with a muffled voice as he chewed on a large piece of Kun meat.

The Four-Unlikes felt a chill and quickly shook its head, stood up, and left. "Uh... no need. I am a Qilin, I cannot eat meat."

After saying that, he walked into the bushes next to him, and his voice drifted out, "I'm going to relieve myself, I'll be back in a bit."

"convenient?"

The three brothers looked in confusion in the direction where the four had gone.
