Qin Luo was completely confused. Since he was already willing to be a dog, should he look for someone or not?
Before she could figure it out, Zhuquewu grabbed her arm.
"Let's go find a place to stay."
"Uh-huh."
The two of them, hand in hand, led the two little ones to the house at the camp, looked around, and both shook their heads in disappointment.
"It's so dilapidated, how can anyone live here!"
Qin Luo was also very puzzled.
"These people are the guardians of the Three Realms, why don't they repair them?"
Suzaku Mai found it amusing.
"Before we arrived, the guards here were all criminals. Who would bother with them?"
"That's true, so what do we do now?"
Zhu Quewu looked towards the isolation barrier not far away and saw that it was piled with large stones at its base. She then pulled Qin Luo over there.
“We’ll rebuild it ourselves; there are plenty of stones there anyway.”
Qin Luo, however, was not so optimistic.
"If they could build them, why don't those prisoners build them?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuque Wu stopped in her tracks and then struck the stones with her palm.
Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to touch them, but he was also struck in the chest by the rebounding energy.
Seeing this, Qin Luo immediately used his supernatural abilities to heal her, while the two little ones watched with concern from the side.
"Relax, it will be fine in a little while."
"Don't be afraid, Sister Wu. Luo Luo will heal you soon."
"That's right, the boss's medical skills are exceptional."
Zhuque Wu was in so much pain that she couldn't speak, and could only quietly accept the treatment.
After a moment, she slowly spoke.
"Thank you, Luo Luo. I never expected that someone as small as you as a human would have medical skills that surpass even those of healers in the beast realm."
Qin Luo smiled and replied to her.
"This is all thanks to Lord Heavenly Dao. By the way, I noticed that other races all came with relatively mature beasts. How come you and Sister Xuanwu, who are so young, also came?"
At this point, Suzaku Mai couldn't help but feel sad.
"Because our clan beasts and Xuanwu's are very rare, we are already the oldest in the clan. The rest are all cubs that are a hundred years old or even a few years old."
Qin Luo had previously heard Wu Hua say that one year in the human realm is equivalent to one hundred years in the human realm, meaning that those cubs were already several thousand or several hundred years old.
She had only just turned twenty, and thinking of this, she couldn't help but lament her miserable life.
But seeing Suzaku Mai's youthful face, I became curious about her age.
"Sister, how old are you this year?"
"Two hundred and thirty years old, so what?"
Qin Luo…
"N-nothing, haha. Um, let's quickly go and tell the Domain Lord and the other beasts about the stone, so they don't get hurt."
"Okay, let's go..."
The group turned back in the direction they had come from, and while they were at it, they helped the exhausted Xuanwu finish the rest of the work.
The Black Warrior was secretly pleased, but his face remained stubborn.
"I didn't beg you, so I'm not a dog."
Qin Luo…
She just couldn't understand how the descendants of the legendary Four Divine Beasts could be so simple-minded.
Everyone else had forgotten about it, but she insisted on bringing it up. Now that she had brought it up, would the sharp-tongued Vermilion Bird let her off the hook?
Sure enough, the next second, Suzaku's mocking voice could be heard.
"If you say it's not true, then it's not true. Anyway, as long as you turn back into your original form and hide in that turtle shell, none of us can do anything to you, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Xuanwu warrior nearly exploded.
"You little chicken with such a sharp tongue, why don't you go and poison those demons so we can return to the beast realm sooner?"
"Who are you calling a chicken beak? You're the one with a chicken beak, your whole family has chicken beaks."
"Aaaaaah, I'll fight you to the death..."
The two beasts started fighting at the drop of a hat, and Qin Luo tried to separate them for a long time without success, so she simply gave up.
She turned around and took the two little ones to find the Houzang, but what she didn't expect was...
After they left, the Houzang stood still, not moving an inch.
"Lord of the Domain, why have you been here all this time? Is something amiss?"
The Houzang had no intention of hiding anything from her, so it took out the black crystal shard in its hand.
"It was forged from the souls of those prisoners."
Qin Luo panicked upon hearing this. Fortunately, she had arrived first; if Ming Yi had come first...
It's likely that, like those prisoners, he'll go mad and be refined into crystal.
The Houjiang could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression.
"You don't need to worry. Now that the Beast Realm has taken over this place, they will definitely not let this happen again."
Qin Luo gave him a grateful look, then pointed to the crystal shard and asked:
"Lord of the Domain, why are those demons refining souls? Is there some grand conspiracy at play?"
"I don't know for the time being either; this matter needs to be investigated further."
As he spoke, he glanced at the two little ones beside Qin Luo.
Why haven't you taken them to rest yet?
Qin Luo then remembered what she had come here for.
"I almost forgot if you hadn't asked. Just now, Sister Zhuquewu and I discovered that the stones under the barrier can hurt people if attacked, so we thought we'd come and tell you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard the hound's explanation.
"That's a demon-repelling stone. It can absorb the power of demons when they attack, but if it's attacked, it will return double the power. Are you all alright?"
"It's alright. Oh, by the way, there's also the building at the outpost. It has no walls or roof, just a few pillars standing there."
Hearing her description, Hou Jiang couldn't help but want to laugh, but out of respect for his elders, he could only try his best to hold it in.
"It is indeed a bit dilapidated. We can't open our companion space at all, and we can't take out anything to repair it. We can only slowly use the materials available on the spot."
