Chapter 381 The Bountiful Season Has Arrived
"Resurrection?"
Everyone looked at Lu Liufeng, then at Riley, and were all somewhat bewildered.
"They've been dead for a thousand years, how could they possibly come back to life?"
Lu Liufeng: "A thousand years ago, the elements of heaven and earth were abundant, unlike now where they are scarce and affected by the power of the curse. At that time, the Earth Rank was just a threshold. When powerful little beastmen with strong bloodlines transformed, they could even directly enter the Earth Rank. Above the Heaven Rank, there were even super-rank beings..."
He paused when he mentioned the Super Rank.
"However, the super-level is just a legendary record, and no one knows if it really exists."
Riley raised a brow, "Really? It can possess my body and regenerate?"
His body is not something anyone can possess.
"In that case, wouldn't I be at a huge disadvantage? You can all improve by using the power of the curse, but I can't."
He didn't care whether he could improve or not, but the Cursed Land was full of secrets, and he wanted to explore them.
Jiang Xi: "You should take it easy for now."
Riley shrugged. "There's no entertainment either. Where else can I go if I don't go to the Cursed Lands?"
Jiang Xi: "Build your hotel! If you keep slacking off like this, when will it ever be finished?"
Riley said, "I've already spent my Shell Coins, how could I possibly go and build a house looking disheveled and unkempt? That would be too embarrassing and make me look bad."
Jiang Xi was too lazy to say anything more to him.
"Have a meal!"
"During this period, you should come to me once a day to review the situation, in case there are any problems that even the light curtain cannot block."
Although Jiang Xi might not be able to detect everything, if someone were truly possessed and their soul aura changed, she would still be able to sense it through the marriage contract.
Lu Liufeng lowered his eyes and cut meat for the female master.
During this time, Nakan recounted Nafiel's trip to the underground tribe. Although Jiang Xi was somewhat confused, she nodded in agreement.
The Mangjiao tribe isn't far, but it still takes several days to travel there and back.
But a few days are enough to change a lot of things.
After lunch, the group went to the Cursed Lands again.
Jiang Xi asked Mu Ling to bring some food to Duan Si.
Duan Si is too stubborn and cannot accept being left behind by Lu Liufeng and Nafier. Perhaps he will only return when he also reaches the Earth Rank.
Having the determination to become stronger is good, but Jiang Xi couldn't help but worry that if things continued like this, his body might break down first.
However, now that Mu Ling and the others are with her in the Cursed Land, she can be notified promptly if any problems arise.
Nakan washed the dishes, Hill went back to clear the fields and build the house, Lu Liufeng accompanied Jiang Xi to groom the mother tree, and Riley stayed by her side and refused to leave.
"If you won't let me go to the Cursed Land, then I'll just have to wander around the tribe."
Jiang Xi: "...Whatever."
A ring of stone houses has been built around the statue, blocking the entrance to the mother tree beneath it.
Sen stood outside the house to greet the female messenger.
Jiang Xi looked at the houses, thought for a moment, and then spoke.
"Let's move the place where we deal with thirty orcs every day to this location."
The Holy Statue Square is large, with many orcs, females, and young orcs. She uses it to groom the orcs' appearance, which also helps to unite their hearts, increase the tribe's cohesion, and garner support for her.
Although the Lion's Roar tribe is now completely led by her.
But if you're going to do good deeds, do them openly and honestly for everyone to see. There's no need to hide them, lest unscrupulous people take advantage of the situation.
Sen heard about what happened on the wall that morning, nodded, and had a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Jiang Xi passed through the house, came to the statue, and then entered the cave beneath the statue.
The mother tree shimmered with a vibrant green light, and as soon as she entered, it began to sway gently with joy.
Jiang Xi smiled and raised her hand to comb the mother tree.
With her tending to it, the mother tree visibly grew a little bigger and looked much better.
Jiang Xi could sense that the tribe had a mother tree, and the entire tribe was surrounded by a faint halo, as if it were protecting the orcs and females from the power of the curse.
The females and orcs in the tribe also love to come to the Statue Square to play.
The tribe is on the right track and thriving.
Jiang Xi should have felt relieved, but for some reason, she felt a vague unease, as if something was about to happen.
She went through everything she had experienced and all the possible dangers, but she couldn't think of anything that could threaten her.
The Holy City only brought one Earth-rank expert, and she had already fought the Holy Mother; they posed no threat to her here.
If she couldn't figure it out, she could only stop thinking about it for the time being.
In the afternoon, the beast tide came again.
This time, it came on more fiercely than the previous times.
Jiang Xi stood on the wall watching, while the leader stood beside her, looking worried.
"The harvest season has only just begun, and a fourth-tier cursed beast has already appeared. I wonder what kind of beasts will appear later."
Mu Ling and his companions were originally using the power of the curse to enhance themselves, but upon seeing the approaching beast tide, they had no choice but to turn to fight the enemy.
This time, in addition to the orcs from the Lion's Roar tribe, orcs from Phoenix Mountain and Holy City also came.
They stood on the other side of the wall, clearly separated from the Lion's Roar tribe.
Furthermore, when the fourth-tier cursed beast appeared, the orcs of Fengshan and the Holy City all went down to fight against it.
With a clear objective, they ignored the other cursed beasts.
Jiang Xi frowned slightly upon seeing all this.
The chief was pleased, saying, "With them joining, the pressure on the tribe will be reduced."
Jiang Xi, "Don't you find it strange?"
Leader Rupert asked in confusion, "What has the female messenger noticed?"
Jiang Xi: "There are so many cursed beasts, yet they only have eyes for the fourth-tier ones. What's so special about these fourth-tier cursed beasts besides their power?"
She thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Have the orcs who went down to hunt keep a close eye on them and see if anything drops after the fourth-tier cursed beast dies."
Jiang Xi couldn't think of any other reason besides this.
Rupert nodded and gave the order.
Lu Liufeng never came down from the wall; he remained standing on it, protecting the female master.
When the female master returned, he went back with her.
Jiang Xi couldn't help but say, "Why don't you stay and help out? Hai Xiya is here at home, nothing will happen."
Haixia did not participate in the beast-hunting tide; he stayed in the river in his backyard. With his Sea God's Scepter, even a low-ranking official couldn't win against him.
Lu Liufeng shook his head and said in a low voice.
"I'm worried."
“Phoenix Mountain and Holy City are both within the tribe, and we don’t know when the people from Nightmare Swamp and Ancient Land will appear. Besides, the beast tide is unusual, and I’m worried about leaving the Queen alone.”
"After all, Haixia couldn't possibly protect the female master closely."
Jiang Xi thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Anyway, no Earth-rank beasts have appeared in the beast tide yet, so it's not too late to go when we need his help.
She took his hand, looked up at him, and smiled.
"Alright then, let's go back first. You can come and help when needed."
Lu Liufeng smiled, his amber eyes crinkling, and nodded gently.
"Alright, I'll do as the mistress says."
