Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 132 Return to the East Continent

The next morning, the sun shone on the lake, emitting a colorful light. Everyone packed up their bags and continued their journey home!

"Na, if we rush back like this, what will we do with the other kinds of holy water?"

Honest Tourmaline became worried and couldn't help asking Mona!

"Don't worry! I have everything under control. I'll tell you what to do when we get back to the Beast Tribe!"

"But..." Bixi wanted to say something but was interrupted by Mona.

"No buts, we must get back to the Beast Tribe as soon as possible." Mona said with determination.

Everyone stopped talking and followed Mona silently.

Their journey was smoother than any other trip they had ever taken. After several days of trekking, they finally returned to the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe.

"Miracle Maiden, welcome back!"

The beastmen of the Ten Thousand Beast Tribe were waiting at the door to greet them, all with smiles on their faces. Elder Tengshe came out, bowed respectfully, and said:

"Thank you all for your hard work in finding the holy water. Go and rest first. Mistress, the priest invites you!"

Mona smiled and said to everyone, "You guys go and rest first. I'm going to the priest's house!"

"Let's go together. It's not too tiring. Let's see what the priest wants first!"

"Okay, let's go together!"

After the tribesmen left, Mona looked at Elder Tengshe and her face became serious, "Elder, let's go!"

The group rushed to the priest's house without stopping. When they entered the house, they saw two priests walking around in circles like ants on a hot pan.

"Two priests, why are you so nervous?" Mona asked anxiously.

"We divined that you would return today, but the hexagram indicates a very bad omen. Even the tortoise shell is cracked. This is a warning from heaven. Something terrible is about to happen!"

Priest Yun quickly described the phenomenon of today's divination. Her hands were still shaking, and it was obvious how nervous she was. Seeing this, Elder Tengshe asked in confusion:

"Didn't the miko return safely? How could she have such a terrible fate...!"

"Mistress, have all the holy waters been gathered?" the Silver Wolf Priest interrupted.

"I have obtained four of the five sacred waters. I only need the last one to unlock it. However, the place where this last sacred water is located is very dangerous. I need some time to prepare."

Elder Tengshe nodded, "I will follow the arrangements of the witch lady. But where is this last kind of holy water?"

A trace of worry flashed in Mona's eyes. "The last kind of holy water is located deep in the dark swamps of the western continent. It is full of unknown dangers and mysterious powers. But in order to save our tribe and the chief, I must go there."

Elder Tengshe couldn't help but frown, "Dark Swamp? That's a forbidden area! No one has ever walked out of it alive."

Mona gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay. We just got out of the Lost Land and it was a close call. No matter how difficult it is, I will give it a try. Believe me, I will definitely return safely with a divine spirit!"

"Na, wait a minute, I'll go with you!"

Bai Chen took Mona's hand, turned around and looked at everyone with a firm look in his eyes.

"Bai Chen, I have decided to go to the Dark Swamp alone to search for the holy water. In the meantime, the tribe is left to you. Beast husbands, take good care of the cubs!"

After saying that, she set off towards the dark swamp of the western continent without hesitation, not even planning to take a short break!

Bai Chen and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, none of them able to guess what Mona was up to! After Mona walked a little further away, the beast husbands and cubs followed silently behind.

Priest Yun suddenly called out to Bai Chen:

"Young Patriarch, can you please spare me a moment?"

"Does the High Priest have any instructions?"

"That's right, young clan leader. This divination indicates that the blood connection with the witch will undergo a new change, causing the turtle shell to rupture. It seems that someone will go to see the Beast God!"

Bai Chen was stunned. He grabbed the priest's shoulders and asked anxiously:

"Come on, tell me clearly, who wants to see the Beast God?"

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. I know there's another person inside the Great Patriarch's body, the Sea Demon God, but separating it is inherently dangerous. The moment the Five Flavors Divine Water is gathered and separated, someone will definitely be hurt. Since he has no body to use, he has no choice but to forcibly take over another body."

The Silver Wolf Priest quickly added:

"Also, as far as we know, the Five-Flavored Divine Water can only be completely separated when used in conjunction with our Five Elements Spiritual Pearls. The witch must have known this, as she decided to search for the remaining divine water alone. So, I suspect it's the bitter tears that are missing. If that's the case, she would have known that someone would have to sacrifice themselves."

"The two priests are saying that Na is prepared to sacrifice herself to separate the Sea Demon, and intends to risk her life to kill the Sea Demon?"

"Yes, the witch is smarter than anyone else and has great wisdom. This time she said she was going to the dark swamp of the western continent, but I don't think so. She will go to three places: the volcanic rock cave; the Qilin clan's Qilin secret realm, because that is where the best five-star spirit beads can exert their greatest effect; and the third place is the sealed place of the sea clan, where the five-element spirit beads can control the sea demon god. It will bring more vitality! I just don't know which place the witch will choose?"

"Thank you both priests for informing me. I won't let Na face this alone. I'll go find her right away!"

"Persuade her more. It's best to go to the Sea Clan's sealed place. Mengzi and Longqing have half the magic power of the Dragon Clan priests and can help. Be careful! Make sure everyone returns safely!"

Bai Chen bowed deeply and did not stand up for a long time.

Along the way, Mona took out her homemade iron sword and carefully crossed the dense woods and muddy roads. After walking for a long time, she still hadn't left the Lega Forest.

Suddenly, she felt a powerful aura approaching, and a sense of unease welled up in her heart.

A dark shadow flashed by, blocking her path. Mona looked closely and saw it was a massive black python. Its bloody maw opened wide, emitting a suffocating stench. Mona took a deep breath and pointed her sword at the python, facing off.

A sly look flashed in the black python's eyes as it pounced on Mona. Mona dodged sideways and swung the iron sword in her hand, slashing at the black python's abdomen. The black python nimbly dodged the attack and swung its tail, sending Mona flying several meters away.

Mona stood up despite the pain. She realized that the black python was too powerful to fight head-on, so she decided to use her animal training skills to try to confuse the black python.

Mona concentrated her mind, chanted a spell, and waved her hands. A ball of green light gradually condensed in her hands. She threw the light at the black python, and the black python was immediately enveloped by the light and became dazed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mona quickly bypassed the black python and continued running forward. However, the black python soon regained consciousness and angrily chased after her, even faster.

Mona's heart raced. She knew she had to find a way out quickly, or the consequences would be disastrous. She searched for a place to hide and finally found a cave. Without hesitation, she dived into the cave, hoping to escape the black python's pursuit.
