Chapter 256 Our hides are tough, perfect for making whetstones!
Looking at the fence that was over two meters high, Lin's mother turned to her daughter and asked, "What should we do?"
Yao said, "It's fine to leave it here."
Mr. Lin drove to a spot where the security cameras couldn't see him and parked the car. All four of them got out of the car.
Yao carried Lin Ni's old hiking backpack, which contained some snacks, a few sets of clothes, several books on house building, furniture making, and cooking, a mobile phone, and two power banks. Lin Ni had originally wanted to buy some books on education, believing that if the Phoenix Realm had writing and civilization, its heritage wouldn't be so easily severed. However, Yao said it wasn't necessary. The Phoenix Realm only needed its beastmen to be strong and multiply; civilization would make them lose their bestial nature. The Phoenix Realm's goal was to protect the Chinese Realm, not to have a high level of civilization. Their time flow was too fast; a hundred years in the Chinese Realm would be over four thousand years in the Phoenix Realm. Therefore, a spark of civilization could potentially develop into a powerful culture in the Phoenix Realm. A different culture might cause the Phoenix Realm to separate from the Chinese Realm. That's why he didn't allow writing to appear in the Phoenix Realm; it was too powerful. Since the Phoenix Realm wanted to remain a lower realm of the Chinese Realm, its primitiveness and backwardness were necessary. Lin Ni could only respect the Phoenix Realm's beast god's wishes.
Lin Ni gave her parents a hug and said with a smile, "You should also help promote our traditional culture and do your part for the revival of Chinese culture. Now we're off."
Lin's mother's eyes were a little red, and she hugged her daughter tightly, unwilling to let go: "If you go to that place and suffer any injustice, we will know nothing and be unable to help you in any way."
Yao, standing to the side, took two thumb-sized red feathers out of his pocket and handed them to Lin's father: "These are my feathers. Each one contains a shield that will automatically activate when danger arises. You should both carry them with you; it's a small token of my appreciation as your son-in-law." He then said to Lin's mother, "I will take good care of Xiaoni and won't let her suffer any injustice!"
After Lin's mother and Lin Ni separated, Yao put the backpack on Lin Ni's back.
Linni slung her backpack over her shoulder and hugged them again: "Dad, Mom, thank you! I love you!"
Mr. Lin patted her on the shoulder: "Go on, be happy!"
Yao smiled at Lin's parents and said, "Dad, Mom, thank you!"
Then he turned around, picked up Lin Ni, and jumped onto the two-meter-high fence. He then leaped off the fence and disappeared into the woods.
Lin's mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and stared in the direction they had disappeared for a long time without saying a word.
Just when they thought they'd never see them again, a short while later, they saw Yao carrying Lin Ni leaping up the mountainside through the woods. He reached the top in less than two minutes, at which point Lin's parents could only see a tiny dot. Yao paused on a protruding rock, then turned and leaped down the mountain. Lin's mother gasped in astonishment as Yao transformed into a phoenix, several meters tall, in mid-air. The golden, shimmering phoenix flapped its wings and flew towards the sun, which hung in the center of the sky. Then, seemingly shattering the void in the sunlight, it vanished through the darkness.
In that instant, Mr. and Mrs. Lin clearly saw the dark blue hiking backpack on Phoenix's back. They were truly gone...
In the springtime of the Phoenix Realm's Beastman Continent, a light spring rain was falling.
Since the Beast God descended upon the Orcish Continent nine years ago on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and his divine light once again protected the continent, no new cursed lands have been born. The orcs have lived in peace and prosperity. Thanks to the cleansing efforts of the four guardian orcs, it is now rare to see wandering orcs in the four regions.
The cold-blooded beastmen of the Rainforest Kingdom, under the demands of the Green Serpent Guardian Beastman, reorganized their tribes. Only those who could raise females of their own tribe could be considered good beastmen. The entire continent had only six Celestial-Rank beastmen, who did nothing but hunt down any cold-blooded beastmen who dared to show their faces. They would listen to the reasons of other Celestial-Rank beastmen, but the Green Serpent Beastman, also a cold-blooded beastman, showed no mercy when killing other cold-blooded beastmen. Anyone who disobeyed orders and ran into him—or rather, if he found out, was dead. Now, all the cold-blooded beastmen had been killed and were hiding. Therefore, the entire beastman continent was exceptionally peaceful and tranquil. The females of the towering mountains and sheer cliffs would occasionally travel to other places with their partners, and even the females of the Rainforest Kingdom would occasionally leave their tribes to venture out. It's worth noting that for the previous few hundred years, the females of the Rainforest Kingdom would never leave their tribes for their entire lives.
The Green Serpent Beastman, Ye, continued his search for cold-blooded beastmen throughout the rainforest. His two cubs would soon reach adulthood, and he hoped they would experience more bloodshed and fight more before reaching adulthood, thus strengthening their abilities. If they were only at level one to three upon adulthood, it would indicate that the male's abilities were relatively weak, making it difficult for them to advance to higher levels. If they were at level four, it would only mean they had ordinary aptitude; only at level five would they have a good chance of becoming powerful males. If they reached level six upon adulthood, they would be considered prodigies. No high-level male had ever reached level seven upon adulthood, but Ye felt his cubs might have that potential. Their mother was a high-level female, and they had absorbed the power of the Beast God before their birth, so Ye, as their father, had high expectations for them. He constantly led them around, seeking out cold-blooded beastmen to fight.
The Ten Thousand Cliffs were even more peaceful. The Heavenly Rank Beastman Yan flew around the Ten Thousand Cliffs all day long, so who would dare to be uneasy?
The towering mountains have always been a symbol of unity and friendship. The White Tiger Guardian Beastmen are two white tigers; one lives in the Tiger Beast Tribe with its female cub, while the other is fighting in the rainforest with its male cub. It must be said, harsh environments tend to produce stronger individuals. The cold-blooded beastmen: Our hides are tough; perfect for sharpening knives!
The vast North Sea had always lived its own life on the Beastman Continent, since the other three regions were inhabited by land-dwelling beastmen, while the North Sea was primarily inhabited by aquatic creatures. The guardian beastmen of the North Sea, the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Serpent, had always strived to maintain peace. Before they ascended to the Celestial Rank, powerful beastman races often outwardly obeyed their commands but inwardly defied them. However, since they ascended to the Celestial Rank with the help of the Beast God's messenger and together welcomed the Beast God's re-descent, no one dared to be two-faced anymore. The power of a Celestial Rank beastman was something that even a level nine beastman couldn't withstand, let alone beastmen below level nine.
