When Beauty Meets Beasts

Chapter 780 Bait

Bai Di was soaking in the pool.

The cold water suppressed the heat in his body bit by bit.

He raised his hand to wipe his face and walked toward the shore.

His slender and tall body was covered in mottled scars. Sparkling water droplets flowed down his chest muscles and followed the lines of his lower body.

Bai Di bent down to pick up the clothes and was about to put them on when he sensed danger approaching!

Without thinking, he raised his hand and threw out the electric current.

"Ahhh!"

The attacker screamed.

Bai Di quickly put on his clothes and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw that the beasts who had ambushed him were from the Blazing Flame Canine Clan.

At the same time, a dozen more beasts walked out from various places. They surrounded Bai Di and watched his every move warily.

Bai Di knew they were up to no good.

"Why? Is the canine tribe's leader unable to bear to part with us, so he specially sent you here to send us off?"

The leader of the dog beasts shouted sternly, "Stop pretending. Hand over our young master!"

Bai Di calmly put on the armor one by one. "Your young master is gone."

"Bullsh*t! He was bitten by a poisonous snake. How could he have escaped after being poisoned? You must have killed him and hidden his corpse!"

Bai Di said, "You have no evidence. You want to kill us without any evidence? Do you really think we're easy to bully?"

"One of us saw the young master get bitten by a poisonous snake!"

"He followed us sneakily, so he was attacked for being suspected as a bad person. Later, we helped him detoxify the poison. After he recovered, he left on his own. He's probably gone home now. If you don't believe me, you can go back to the tribe to take a look. If you're fast, you might be able to meet him on the way."

Bai Di had a point. The canine beasts were skeptical.

Seeing that their father had not returned, Bai An and Bai Hao came to the pool to look for him. In the end, they saw their father being surrounded. They immediately shouted, "There's an ambush!"

As soon as the rest heard this shout, the beasts of the Rock Wolf Tribe quickly gathered and rushed at the canine beasts under Shuang Yin's lead.

Seeing this, the canine beasts fought them without a word.

The originally quiet pool immediately became chaotic.

Huanhuan stayed with Shuang Jing. The prophet was placed in a wheelchair. His eyes were closed, and he did not react to the chaos not far away.

In terms of one-on-one strength, the canine beasts were inferior to Bai Di and Huanhuan's seven children. In terms of team battle ability, the number of canine beasts was a third of the Rock Wolf Tribe. They were even less of a match for them.

After a few rounds, the canine beasts quickly fell into a disadvantage.

They had to evacuate.

Seeing their sorry figures quickly leave, Shuang Hua turned around and asked, "Sister, should we chase after them?"

"No." Shuang Yin raised her hand, gesturing to the beast soldiers.

The beast soldiers immediately returned. After counting the number of people, they confirmed that no one was injured.

Bai Di returned to Huanhuan.

Huanhuan asked, "Who are they?"

"The beasts of the Blazing Flame Canine Tribe. They must've been sent by Patriarch Quan Yi to find his brother."

Huanhuan quickly said, "But Quan Rong has already left."

"They must have missed Quan Rong and mistakenly thought that he was still with us. That's why they came to us to ask for him."

So that was what happened! Huanhuan came to a realization. "You could've just explained the situation to them. There was no need to fight. It won't be good if too many people are injured."

Bai Di said, "I explained it all, but they didn't believe me. There was nothing else I could do."

"These people are really stubborn!"

Bai Di called the six children to him. "Pack up and set off. Don't waste any more time. If those people don't find Quan Rong, they'll definitely go back and get reinforcements. We have to leave quickly."

After the children agreed, they quickly packed their luggage and continued on their way.

Bai Di's prediction was right. After the canine beasts escaped, they immediately rushed to the Blazing Flame Tribe. They wanted to tell the canine tribe leader as soon as possible that their young master might have been killed.

With their strength, they could not deal with the Rock Wolf Tribe. Hence, they could only ask Patriarch Quan Yi to personally resolve this problem.

When this news returned to the Blazing Flame Tribe, the entire tribe was in chaos. It was just that Quan Rong was on his way home.

He wanted to follow Shuang Yin and the others again, but he would be discovered before long.

He had lost face a few times.

Quan Rong had no choice but to give up on tracking and go home first. In the end, he lost his way in the forest because he couldn't find his way home.

He walked around the forest for several days. Instead of walking out, he went deeper and deeper.

The surrounding trees were getting taller and taller, and the dense leaves covered the sky, making it almost impossible to see sunlight in the forest. It was especially dark at a glance. Fortunately, beasts were born with good night vision. Even without light, Quan Rong could still walk steadily.

There was no sunlight in this part of the forest all year round. The humidity was heavy, and the temperature was much lower than outside.

Quan Rong stopped to rest and was about to pick some wild fruits to fill his stomach when he saw a figure swaying in front of him.

There was someone ahead!

Quan Rong immediately perked up.

He ran over and realized that the other party was an old beast with a wrinkled face.

This old beast was none other than Tao Wei.

Tao Wei was originally here to catch prey and was worried about not having any bait. When he saw Quan Rong, his eyes immediately lit up with shrewdness. "Young man, this forest is the legendary Nightmare Forest. Why are you here alone?"

Quan Rong had heard of Nightmare Forest.

Legend had it that there was a monster lying dormant in Nightmare Forest. Any beast who stepped into Nightmare Forest would become food for the monster.

Quan Rong recalled what he had experienced in the forest over the past few days. He couldn't even see a living creature, let alone monsters.

Could the legend be fake?

Quan Rong couldn't understand, but none of this mattered.

The most important thing for him now was to get out of this dark place!

He consulted the other party. "I lost my way in the forest. Do you know how to leave this forest?"

Tao Wei took out a branch with purple leaves and handed it to Quan Rong. He said kindly, "Take this branch and walk straight down this path. Don't turn or stop along the way. No matter what happens, don't let go of this branch. When you reach the end, you'll naturally be able to walk out of this forest."

Quan Rong looked at the branch in his hand. "What is this?"

"This is a branch of the Demon Eye. It can help you stabilize your mind and not be confused by external objects."

Quan Rong felt that he was indeed much more energetic after getting the branch.

He took a few steps with the branch and suddenly remembered that he hadn't thanked the other party. He immediately stopped and turned to look, only to find that the old beast who had been standing not far away was gone.
