Chapter 430 The Fire of the Altar



A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness.

Suddenly, golden patterns appeared in Shengxia's mind, giving her the exact same feeling as the animal skin scroll she had seen at the witch doctor's that day.

Her heart skipped a beat, and her almond-shaped eyes widened in shock as she snapped out of her reverie and looked toward the North Sea.

Before me stood a sturdy wall made of rammed earth bricks, obscuring everything in the sweltering summer heat.

Sheng Xia's almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly as she stared in a direction with a puzzled look. Her pupils were unfocused as she carefully sensed something.

There seemed to be something there, guiding her there.

Just as I was about to go out and take a look, I met Hu Xue's worried eyes.

Sheng Xia was taken aback, staring into Hu Xue's eyes. Her clear pupils were free of any gloom, which made the beast feel inexplicably at ease.

He noticed that Sheng Xia was in a daze, and for a moment, he felt that Sheng Xia was very far away from him.

He couldn't help but lower his head to look her in the eye, and said with a worried expression.

"Xia, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Sheng Xia snapped out of her reverie and was drawn to his beautiful eyes. Her eyes lit up and curved into a smile.

"I...I'm fine."

For a moment, Sheng Xia didn't know what to say, so she simply shook her head and decided to explain it to them in detail when she got back.

No one knows what's happening on the altar at this moment.

For the first time, the central campfire ignited without being lit.

The rapidly spreading flames engulfed the entire altar.

The flames were fierce and spread extremely quickly, yet they did not harm a single blade of grass or tree.

It flickered for a few seconds and then quickly disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

Crab Red sneezed and paused briefly.

He continued to sob, tears streaming down his face.

"I'm telling the truth, please, save our tribe..."

Shengxia didn't agree immediately; she thought about it carefully.

Although her intuition told her she had to go, in this ancient beast world where information was scarce, it was unrealistic to expect her to trust him based solely on his words.

Even if we want to help, we can't just agree immediately; we need to plan carefully.

Thinking of this, Shengxia raised her head, her almond-shaped eyes crinkling, and said softly.

"I understand the situation in your tribe. I will discuss it with our chief next..."

Hearing Shengxia's answer, Xie Hong's heart, which had been pounding, felt half relieved.

His eyes flickered, and he nodded repeatedly, his tone extremely humble.

"Alright, alright, no rush, no rush, you can discuss it properly."

In the height of summer, I got up from my chair and looked out the window. The sun had unknowingly risen high overhead.

She turned around, raised her head, and smiled sweetly at Hu Xue.

"Fox, let's go home first."

Go back and discuss it with your own beast first, then go find the chief.

Fox Snow immediately smiled and took Sheng Xia's little hand, her eyes filled with affection and admiration as she looked at her.

"Okay, Sister Xiaxia~"

As she reached the door, Shengxia recalled the journey she had taken and heard from Maoning that they had been starving for days and hadn't had a drop of water.

A pang of reluctance crossed her heart, and she tentatively began to speak.

"Good morning, could you give them some water and food first?"

There is no food, but a little water will do. They won't starve to death for a few days, but they will die of thirst.

Mao Ning was taken aback when he heard her words, then realized what she meant and responded seriously with a smile.

"Okay, give them a small amount of food and some water later."

After saying that, he added, "There won't be much food, just enough to keep us from starving."

The situation is still unclear, and their condition doesn't need to be too good...

In the height of summer, she smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.

"good."

After she finished speaking, Fox Snow's fox-like eyes narrowed slightly as she reached out her hand to Sheng Xia, her eyes filled with deep affection that belonged only to her.

"Sister Xiaxia~ I'll carry you away."

His clear, youthful voice was both alluring and pleasant. He simply stretched out his hand, smiling quietly as he looked over.

In the height of summer, she smiled and tilted her head back, then leaped into the embrace of the familiar scent of jasmine.

She buried her face in his chest, nuzzling him affectionately; the familiar scent made her feel at ease.

"Let's go home!"

Fox Snow lowered her eyes and kissed the head buried in her chest.

She jumped into his arms and nuzzled his face against him, making his heart melt.

He gently stroked Shengxia's back with his large hand, comforting her.

Feeling the familiar warmth of the embrace, Shengxia relaxed and tilted her head up to kiss Hu Xue's chin.

She said in a sweet, soft voice.

"Fox~ You're so kind."

Wait quietly while she handles things, unconditionally support all her decisions, and always follow her wishes.

Such a wonderful partner, and so good-looking too!

Her praise made Hu Xue's heart flutter, and for some reason, her nose felt a little sore.

"My older sister is better."

A gentle breeze brings a touch of tenderness.

The sunshine and the embrace were so warm; it was the height of summer and my eyelids started to droop. I fell asleep before I even got home.

The moment she closed her eyes, Hu Xue noticed, and he began to walk more steadily with lighter steps.

When she was placed on the bed in the bedroom, Shengxia was dreaming.

In the dream, there was a miserable island tribe where the females were numb, the males were helpless, and the cubs had no innocence but only understanding.

She frowned and wandered aimlessly through the tribe. She walked for a long time but couldn't find her way out. Exhausted, she randomly picked a rock and sat down on it.

Before I could even sit down properly, a long, echoing female voice came from all directions.

"Xia~Witch~Doctor~Are you Xia Witch Doctor~~"

Shengxia jumped up with a start, rubbing the goosebumps on her arms, her eyelashes trembling with fear.

An indescribable sense of panic quickly spread through my heart.

The sound continued for a long time, and Shengxia covered her mouth tightly, never responding.

Until the sound gradually faded away, the wolf king's call remained in my ears.

"Xia, what's wrong? Don't be afraid, I'm here, don't be afraid."

Shengxia suddenly opened her eyes and met Wolf King's gentle yet worried eyes. She was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears and threw herself into his arms.

"Wolf King, I just had a nightmare, it was so scary..."

It was like something out of a horror movie; I still get chills thinking about it now.

A pang of heartache flashed in Wolf King's eyes. He stretched out his long arms and hugged Sheng Xia tightly, gently stroking her back to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The wolf king's gentle voice soothed her heart, and Shengxia shrank back and forth, burying herself completely in his arms.

The fear caused by the bizarre dream gradually subsided.

"Xiaxia is awake? Time to eat. We have sweet and sour fish today."

Yang Yun peeked in from the doorway, said a few words with a smile, and then quickly went back out to continue working in the kitchen.

Today is the first meal together, and everyone is here. He wants to prepare lots of delicious food so that everyone can enjoy themselves.

Aoki smiled brightly and followed Tie Bai to help out, leaving Jiao Su and Hu Xue in the yard to play with the cubs.

While eating the fish, Wolf King held Shengxia the whole time, carefully removing the fish bones and feeding her before starting to eat himself.
