"Why haven't you succeeded yet?"
Song Jinqiao heard this voice when she was still drowsy, and she woke up immediately.
Without having time to carefully check her surroundings, she saw Xuan Ji tied to the cross and the male in front of him.
The smell of blood was so strong that it was almost hard to breathe.
The light was very dim, and Song Jinqiao recognized Xuan Ji by intuition.
The iron chains extending from all directions tightly locked Xuan Ji, locking him to the cross and making him unable to move.
From Song Jinqiao's perspective, he lowered his head slightly, and his long dark red hair fell down with his movements, covering his face vaguely.
He looked extremely weak.
Hearing the voice, Xuan Ji raised his head, and his face, which was as graceful as a startled swan and as beautiful as a demon, gradually emerged under the faint light.
"For my power, is it worth it?"
The voice was a little hoarse, perhaps due to weakness, but it still couldn't hide the intoxicating tone.
Song Jinqiao set her sights on another male, but unfortunately, the male's face was covered by a mist and she could not see it at all.
In order to see more clearly, and after realizing that they couldn't see him, Song Jinqiao moved closer to them.
"Of course it's worth it. You are a phoenix, the king of birds born from nature. Your power is born from all things in the world."
"But it's a pity. Even though you are so powerful, you still haven't completed the rebirth from the fire. Only when you are reborn from the fire can your power be truly powerful."
No one knew what the male had done, but Xuan Ji, who had been expressionless all this time, suddenly frowned and groaned, his breathing gradually became weaker, and his eyes gradually closed.
"It seems you still can't complete the rebirth from the ashes this time." The male shook his head regretfully, "Forget it, continue."
With that, the male slowly left.
Just when Xuan Ji's breathing finally disappeared, Song Jinqiao heard a very small sound.
"Cecilia..."
She was suddenly startled!
Cecilia?
Beast God!
Isn't Cecilia the name of the Beast God?!
So the male just now was the Beast God!
Song Jinqiao realized it belatedly and looked up in the direction the male had left, but the male had already disappeared without a trace.
Without having time to care about Xuan Ji, she raised her foot and wanted to chase in the direction of the Beast God, but as soon as she took a step, the surroundings suddenly shook violently.
Song Jinqiao lost her balance and fell to the ground. When she looked up again, she found that the scene around her had changed.
This looks like a dark corner of Beast City.
It's night now.
Song Jinqiao slowly stood up, but before he had time to observe his surroundings, bursts of roaring sounds came from a darker corner.
A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she ran quickly towards the source of the sound.
There, a torture is taking place!
Song Jinqiao stood in the corner, looking in astonishment at three male orcs beating a humanoid cub with short dark red hair who was curled up in the corner.
That... is Xuanji? !
"Is this the little slave who wants to run away?"
The male who was speaking smiled sinisterly, and clenched the hand holding the chain tightly, causing the little Xuanji, whose neck was circled, to retreat with his entire upper body.
In the moonlight, Song Jinqiao saw that Xiao Xuanji's originally delicate face was covered with purple scars.
"Or just beat him to death." said another male.
The third male echoed his words, nodding repeatedly. "Just kill him! Kill him quickly to save him from running around all day. Master Siwu said he's a disaster and should have died long ago."
"What Master Siwu said is the will of the Beast God. It means that the Beast God has acknowledged that this guy is a disaster."
The orcs are called disasters, and anyone who sees them will kick and spit at them.
The abused little Xuan Ji bit his lower lip tightly, with a tense face, and said nothing.
Song Jinqiao wanted to go up and stop them, but she had no way to touch them.
She could only watch this brutal scene.
The three males fought for a long time, and when they felt it was enough, they left at a leisurely pace.
Song Jinqiao heard that Xiao Xuanji seemed to be making a sound. She squatted down and wanted to touch his cheek, but her entire arm went straight through his body.
"I pray to the Beast God... I beg you to save me and free me from the words of the world."
"God, I pray with a sincere heart that you will allow me to rest completely in your promises and answer my cry."
"I am waiting to be accepted by God. Please hear my prayer..."
After saying this, his breathing gradually became weaker until it disappeared, and Song Jinqiao's hand also stopped in mid-air, trembling slightly.
Is this... what the Beast God does?
"Is Cecilia trying to help you rise from the ashes?" Song Jinqiao's hand lightly rested on Xiao Xuanji's head, his expression complicated as he muttered to himself.
*
"When you are in despair, you can pray to the Beast God."
"Why should we pray? The Beast God is a god. Will he listen to the voices of beastmen like us?"
"Yes, the Beast God is our guardian deity. He listens to the voices of all of us orcs. So when you are in despair... please pray! The Beast God will have mercy on you and lead you to a world of happiness!"
*
"I prayed to the Beast God when I was desperate..."
"They dug out my heart, and I prayed to the Beast God again and again..."
"Pray for my release..."
That's all.
*
Song Jinqiao had a stern face as he watched the orcs tie up the little Xuan Ji tightly and dig out his heart alive for the so-called power.
"Don't!"
She rushed forward, desperately trying to grab the arms of the orcs, but suddenly everything in front of her eyes shattered into pieces bit by bit, like a broken mirror.
*
[Host! Host! Host, wake up!] Looking at Song Jinqiao who had fainted on the ground, the system anxiously paced back and forth in the space.
At this moment, when it saw Song Jinqiao slowly opening his eyes, it had no time to think, and rushed out of the space regardless of everything, grabbing Song Jinqiao's shoulders tightly.
"Host! Wake up! What on earth have you done? Xuan Ji is about to die!"
What!
Song Jinqiao was still drowsy when he suddenly woke up!
"What did you say!" She also instantly grabbed the system's shoulders, with such force that it hurt the system.
"I said, Xuan Ji is dying. In half an hour, you, the host, will be able to see Xuan Ji's body. Hurry and find a solution!"
The system has never been so anxious before. The whole person is like an ant on a hot pan, running around in a panic.
Song Jinqiao suddenly released the system.
