Chapter 339: Chapter 339

Da Shi and Da Tou said excitedly, "Xiao Sha, you’re actually alive!!"

Si Yan said, "It’s because your two brothers thought you were poisoned by the meat and drink from the Delusional Tavern, so they brought you here."

Xiao Sha immediately jumped up. "That’s not it!"

Xiao Sha anxiously defended the Delusional Tavern. "The Delusional Tavern’s food and drink are very clean, don’t talk nonsense!"

Da Shi and Da Tou: "..."

Xiao Sha quickly explained, "I was poisoned by a piece of black meat on the mountain. It really has nothing to do with Wise Si Yan. Really! After I ate that piece of black meat from the mountain, I felt really sick. My stomach and head hurt—it was an immense, blended pain. Then I fainted. When I woke up, I was here. It really has nothing to do with the food and drink from the Delusional Tavern. Please don’t misunderstand."

Seeing Xiao Sha awake, both Da Shi and Da Tou were extremely happy. Remembering their previous promise, they apologized to Si Yan, "We misunderstood you, and you even helped us save Xiao Sha. We are sorry, and also, thank you."

After speaking, Da Shi and Xiao Sha clarified to everyone, "The Delusional Tavern’s drink is really tasty, and the meat is especially delicious. It’s also particularly clean. We were wrong before. Please don’t misunderstand the Delusional Tavern, and we’re sorry."

The onlooking Beastmen said, "So it really had nothing to do with the Delusional Tavern."

"I thought the Delusional Tavern had served food that killed someone, but it turns out to have been a misunderstanding."

"It seems the tavern’s food and drink are still okay to consume."

Si Yan asked the leopard Beastmen, "Do you remember where you got this rotten meat?"

The leopard Beastmen replied one after another, "I know." "Yes, we remember."

Si Yan said, "In that case, bring the meat here for me to take a look."

The leopard Beastmen responded promptly, "Okay. We’ll go right now!"

The leopard Beastmen went to look for the rotten meat, but the large piece of it had disappeared.

However, they still found a small piece of the meat and brought it back.

The matter of the undead soldiers was a serious one.

After Si Yan received the piece of meat, she went straight to find the Wise Grey Parrot and discussed the matter with Xue Lin.

Xue Lin immediately summoned all the Priests of Myriad Beasts City.

Looking at the dark piece of meat, the expressions of the Priests darkened.

They spoke in hushed tones, tinged with fear. "This kind of terrifying evil force is beyond the intervention of ordinary Priests like us. We need the High Priest to take a look."

"The Witch Doctor competition is currently underway, and after that will be the Priest competition. The High Priest will come."

"This is the first time in my life I’ve seen such a sinister force. It’s horrifying, truly horrifying."

The Priests sighed sorrowfully. "If only we could report this to the Beast God. It’s been a long time since the Beast World has received any directives from the Beast God."

Si Yan said, "Does this world really have a Beast God? If so, he’s indeed a bit irresponsible."

Old Gecko was speechless. Incredibly awkward.

Old Gecko chuckled twice and swiftly said, "My child, look at the sky!"

"Look, look quickly!" Old Gecko urged.

In the vast blue sky, the long, clear call of an eagle suddenly rang out.

Si Yan, along with the City Lord of Myriad Beasts City and the Priests, all stepped out of the earthen dwelling to look up at the sky.

In the sky, several white spots appeared.

The leading Beastman of this group of white spots had snow-white long feathers fluttering and seemed to be draped in a holy radiance. His eyes were pure white with square pupils, seemingly able to see through everything. His appearance was stunningly handsome, as perfect as a deity descended from the heavens.

The Priests said excitedly, "It’s the High Priest! The High Priest has arrived!!"

"Wonderful! The High Priest must have foreseen this incident with the dark fragment of meat, so he came ahead of time!"

High Priest Bai Feng had very high prestige in Myriad Beasts City.

Before long, one after another, the eagle Beastmen landed; even Si Yan’s old friend Mu Xiao came along.

Seeing Si Yan, Mu Xiao promptly landed beside her and greeted her with excitement, "Si Yan!! We meet again!!"

Si Yan responded with a polite smile and a nod.

Bai Feng also landed beside Si Yan and said with a gentle smile, "Si Yan."

Si Yan also smiled politely and nodded. "Bai Feng."

He nodded at Si Yan, then went on to greet Xue Lin and the other Priests of Myriad Beasts City.

"You’ve finally arrived, High Priest. Something has happened in Myriad Beasts City."

Bai Feng nodded. "Mm."

He had foreseen it, so he had come ahead of time.

Bai Feng and several Priests studied the clump of flesh imbued with the scent of decay, and he said, "The Beast God once gave me a tome that mentioned this type of aura. This should be the residual aura of undead soldiers."

"Undead soldiers?" The Priests looked at each other, bewildered. "What are undead soldiers?"

Bai Feng explained, "After a creature dies, it is resurrected by an evil Corpse Summoning Technique. The resurrected monster is called an undead soldier."

"Resurrected after death?!" The Priests were extremely shocked.

If there truly was resurrection after death in the Beast World, it would undoubtedly be a matter of paramount importance!

"Undead soldiers are not purely a resurrection. The resurrected creature retains the memories of its former life, so it will act according to those memories. But in reality, it no longer possesses a soul."

A Priest asked, "So you mean to say, it’s in fact still dead?"

Bai Feng replied, "Yes."

The Priests’ brows furrowed.

One Priest suddenly asked, "What purpose does the one who resurrects these soldiers have?"

Bai Feng said, "These undead soldiers can be controlled. Once enough undead soldiers are resurrected, he will become their General."

"The General can control the undead soldiers. When their numbers become large enough, they will form a very frightening force. If the General wishes to attack the Beastmen, it will be difficult for the Beastmen to defend against them."

In a panic, a Priest asked, "Why? Surely we Beastmen are not weak."

Bai Feng said, his expression serious, "The decay aura of undead soldiers can be contagious. Infected Beastmen will become severely ill in mild cases, and die in severe ones. Even male Beastmen cannot avoid it."

Bai Feng said solemnly, "If the undead soldiers amass... it will bring immense disaster to the Beast World."

The Priests’ eyes trembled, panic flooding their gaze. Read complete versıon only at N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

"Is it really that serious? The Beast God... the Beast God isn’t here. What should we do?"

City Lord Xue Lin sighed. "In recent years, the Beast World has been plagued with constant natural disasters: pestilences, droughts, floods... The rainy season had barely ended ahead of schedule, and we were hoping for a period of rest, when this thing appeared."

"This is truly a terrible disaster for the Beast World."

Si Yan said, "We need to warn the Beastmen not to eat the corpses of the blackened wild beasts outside."

Xue Lin said, "The warning will be spread. But... I’m afraid this cannot be stopped."

Indeed, as Xue Lin said, even if the Beastmen were told not to eat the meat of the blackened wild beasts, there would still be areas that the warning could not reach, and there would still be Beastmen who, out of hunger, would choose to eat this blackened wild beast meat.
