Chapter 7: Move quickly, don’t get caught

Ling Po Po threw the magnifying glass aside carelessly, her eyes widened as she carefully inspected the fertility stone for any damage. Just as she was engrossed in her examination, Aunt Mei noticed that Jiang Li’s blood, which was hanging on the fertility stone, was slowly seeping in. This phenomenon startled Aunt Mei, she quickly called out to Ling Po Po. “Ling Po, look, what’s going on?” Hearing this, Ling Po Po quickly looked towards the place Aunt Mei mentioned. She just saw the fertility stone absorbing all of Jiang Li’s blood. “This… what’s going on?

” Even Ling Po Po had never seen this before. As soon as she finished speaking, the fertility stone instantly emitted a dazzling light, illuminating Ling Po Po’s entire tree house and blinding both of their eyes. The light lasted for a few seconds before gradually fading. Aunt Mei and Ling Po Po dared to open their eyes, the fertility stone was still emitting a faint purple light. “What’s going on?” Aunt Mei widened her eyes in shock, quickly and questioningly asked Ling Po Po. Ling Po Po was also stunned, she raised her head and looked up and down the entire fertility stone.

Finally, her lips moved slightly, her eyes widened even more, and then she spoke in a trembling voice, “Shi Nian… Shi Nian was right!” Aunt Mei was puzzled by what Ling Po Po said, “Shi Nian? What did Shi Nian say?” Before Ling Po Po could answer, a loud bang came from behind them. A male beastman stumbled into their presence. “Aunt Mei! Ling Po Po!” The male beastman was covered in wounds, blood slowly dripping from the corner of his lips.

 “What happened?” Aunt Mei squatted down and checked the male beastman’s wounds. There were three giant claw marks on his back, surrounded by black pus, which was gradually festering and constantly oozing blood. “Aunt Mei, Ling Po Po, run! Beastmen! Beastmen are out!” “What?!” Both were shocked. It had only been a short time since the beastmen were sealed, how could they have escaped again? Aunt Mei thought of Jiang Li at home, she turned to Ling Po Po, her voice anxious, “Ling Po, you hide with him first, I’ll go home and find Xiao Li.

” Ling Po Po nodded, and finally said, “Be careful” before watching Aunt Mei transform into a magpie and fly out of her tree house. The beastmen were savage and brutal, they had no intelligence of their own. On her way home, Aunt Mei saw that all the tree houses around her had been destroyed by the beastmen, and even many male beastmen who resisted were injured. She didn’t have time to visit them, she could only fly forward desperately, wanting to get home as soon as possible to see how Jiang Li was doing. But when she got home, she saw that the familiar tree house was empty, Aunt Mei’s heart completely broke at that moment. “Xiao Li! Xiao Li! Where are you?”

 Aunt Mei searched the entire tree house, but still couldn’t find Jiang Li, which made her even more uneasy, tears uncontrollably fell to the ground. She didn’t know where Jiang Li had run to, but more than anything, she was worried that Jiang Li would be hurt. The bird tribe was in ruins, destroyed by the beastmen, but at the last moment, the king of the bird tribe appeared and easily killed the beastmen. Jiang Li, who had been knocked unconscious, was dragged into a sack by two masked women and taken to the edge of the Sana River. “Should we throw her in here?” One of the women asked the other woman again. It seemed like she had asked too many times, the woman was very impatient, even her tone became reprimanding.

“Yes, hurry up, don’t be discovered by others!” Everyone on land knew about the horror at the bottom of the Sana River, and she wanted to throw Jiang Li into the Sana River, just to let her be eaten by the things below, never to come back. “But…” The woman just lifted the sack with one foot, then hesitated, she suddenly let go of her hand, and the sack fell heavily to the ground. It just so happened that Jiang Li’s head hit the ground hard, making her already dizzy head even more confused. But fortunately, the pain made her consciousness a little clearer. She also vaguely understood what the people who kidnapped her were talking about.

“What are you hesitating for? Are you trying to be discovered by the things below? Let them come out and eat us?” “I… I didn’t…” The woman was so scared by the reprimand that she shrank her neck, “I just think the punishment is a bit harsh.” “Harsh?” The woman sneered, as if she had heard a joke, “Then why don’t you go feed the fish with her! Or go back! But I can’t guarantee whether your family will still be in the tribe tomorrow.”

Hearing this warning, the woman trembled all over. She quickly grabbed the sack again and answered tremblingly, “Yes, I’ll throw her in the river right away.” The woman dragged the sack towards the Sana River, the cold river water-soaked Jiang Li, making her a little more sober. Jiang Li endured the pain in her head and opened her eyes a crack, but it was pitch black in front of her, she couldn’t see anything around her. She recognized their voices, one of them was Yan He!

She didn’t expect Yan He to be so vicious, she actually took advantage of the chaos to knock her unconscious and throw her into the Sana River! Jiang Li mustered all her strength and began to struggle, the woman saw the sack move, she was so scared that she squatted on the ground, her body couldn’t help but tremble. “Pr… Princess… The sack is moving!”

 The woman was so scared that she lost her ability to act, she didn’t dare to move. Seeing her cowardly look, Yan He was furious, so she stepped forward and grabbed the sack and threw it into the depths of the Sana River.

“Splash!” The water splashed on the surface of the river, the ripples rippled on the water surface for a few times before gradually disappearing.

 “Humph! Useless thing!” Yan He rolled her eyes at the woman, sneered coldly, and then turned to leave. The woman also knew that this action would definitely wake up the things in the Sana River, she was afraid that they would climb out and eat her, so she quickly got up and followed Yan He’s footsteps. The moment she fell into the water, the river water quickly soaked through the sack. Jiang Li, who was completely unprepared, was instantly choked by the water several times.

She struggled to escape, but the knot on her hands was very tight, there was no way to break through. Even, the more she struggled, the faster her energy was consumed, the little oxygen she had left gradually dissipated, she couldn’t hold on for long. Realizing that she was about to die, Jiang Li was heartbroken, she was even very unwilling.

She didn’t want to die, she hadn’t lived long enough! She didn’t want to die again! Perhaps her will to survive was too strong, the sack that confined her was cut open, and the rope on her wrist also broke. It was as if a blind person had finally found light.

The moonlight reflected from the full moon illuminated the entire Sana River. A person stood in front of her, with long blue hair, facial features that looked like a man and a woman, her vision was blurry, she couldn’t see the person’s face clearly. The little oxygen she had left had dissipated; the lack of oxygen made her consciousness hazy again.

 Finally, she slowly closed her eyes, it was pitch black in front of her again, and her body uncontrollably sank down. It was as if she heard a constant calling, but she couldn’t hear anything.
