It had deliberately left the carcass of Runemaw Dragon King behind, as it was part of a certain scheme. If Little Shier and that human brat made use of it now, it would have to re-plan some things, and much of its painstaking effort would be wasted.
The Nightmare Beast King let out a long sigh towards the sky.
Initially, it had allowed Little Shier to run away from home, intending to use her disappearance as a pretext and reason to stir up commotion in Beast Field no. 97 and conceal some arrangements.
Once Little Shier reached the human city and its power increased even further upon completion of its layout, it could overturn the standoff with humans under the guise of searching for its daughter, obliterating all human cities in Beast Field no. 97 before the human strongmen from other beast fields could react.
To ensure Little Shier’s safety in this process, it had also deliberately left an incredibly unique and hidden power on her.
However, it seemed that despite all its calculations, there were still some oversights…
The Nightmare Beast King’s gaze looked into the distance beyond the core area, its eyes flashing with complex light.
After a moment, it quietly sighed and uttered a sharp whistle.
“Squawk!”
“Roar!”
A deep roar came from not far away.
The next moment, a huge -bodied Transcendent Being with the aura of a marshal stage swarming around it, crouched in front of the Nightmare Beast King.
The Nightmare Beast King’s expression returned to indifference and calm. It gazed at the subordinate it trusted sufficiently and, after a long while, slowly began to speak.
“Squawk.”
Go to Crackfoot Valley. Little Shier is there.
The marshal-stage subordinate shuddered, lifted its head, and joy surfaced in its eyes.
“Roar?”
Has Princess Twelve been found?
“Squawk.”
Listen, upon seeing Little Shier, pretend to attack her and gauge the reaction of the human with her.
“…Roar?”
The marshal-stage subordinate was a little baffled.
Pretend to attack Princess Twelve? Gauge the human’s reaction… Princess Twelve is with a human?
Why was it so bewildered despite understanding every word from the King? The marshal-stage subordinate couldn’t help but shake its head.
Forget it, the King’s schemes were never easy to guess. Just carry out the orders.
The marshal-stage subordinate bowed its head again, showing a posture of serious listening.
The Nightmare Beast King nodded in satisfaction, then continued to speak. “Squawk.”
If the human protects Little Shier, act out a scene before returning; if the human flees and abandons Little Shier, kill him and bring Little Shier back.
The marshal-stage subordinate nodded vaguely, its figure disappearing deep into the dense forest.
With its gaze returning to a certain spot outside the core region, a hint of helplessness flashed in the Nightmare Beast King’s eyes.
Even if this situation was troublesome, she was still its child.
The plan needs to be altered a bit, as long as the ultimate goal could be achieved.
A glimmer of frenzy, long suppressed by calmness, flashed in the eyes of the Nightmare Beast King.
Beast Emperor, if other Beast Kings could become one, why couldn’t it, the Demon Hawk, achieve the same?
“Velvet Sparrow, how much farther do we have to go?
Xu Ran squeezed Star’s belly with his legs, signalling it to stop for now before looking towards the Velvet Sparrow.
“Chirp!” (It’s just ahead, about three kilometers away.)
The Velvet Sparrow fluttered its wings, its relaxed expression tinged with slight anticipation.
Xu Ran seemed to know many secrets about evolution, otherwise, the two previous pet beasts wouldn’t have been able to evolve so smoothly.
If Cancan’s evolution succeeded, it might learn something from witnessing it, possibly increasing its chances of success in its own future evolution.
“Three kilometers…” Xu Ran breathed a small sigh of relief.
This place was not far from the region where leader stage Transcendent Beings roamed.
If they went any deeper, they could very likely encounter leader stage Transcendent Beings, not just one or two, but in groups.
Being surrounded by them would be dangerous, even for Xu Ran and the three little ones.
With just a distance of three kilometers, they hadn’t yet entered the leader stage activity area and were relatively safe.
He couldn’t help but take an extra look at the Velvet Sparrow.
initially, as the Velvet Sparrow led him and the three little ones safely through numerous dangers, he became suspicious and speculative.
After all the various things the Velvet Sparrow had previously shown were explainable as a result of living in the outer city area, but they were somewhat dubious.
