Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Purification

Wen Nanxi knew what Su Muyao was worried about, so she said directly, "We encountered an attack from a Mutant Beast Tide."

At this point, Wen Nanxi’s expression became somewhat grave.

It always felt a bit strange, as if those Mutant Beasts were specifically targeting them.

Moreover, among those Mutant Beasts, there were even Advanced Mutant Beasts, which made it quite tricky to deal with.

Hua Linye still had Fire Poison in his body, so he inevitably suffered serious injuries.

Upon hearing this, Su Muyao’s expression changed.

Something just didn’t seem right about the appearance of a Mutant Beast Tide.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, put him down first, I’ll treat him."

At this moment, Hua Linye looked pale and weak, like he could die at any moment, and Su Muyao dared not delay any longer.

Moreover, his body seemed extremely hot, and his Fire Poison had flared up again.

Wen Nanxi had no choice but to put Hua Linye down.

Hua Linye lay down, meeting Su Muyao’s eyes, and weakly said, "Wife, if I die, I want to be buried nearby so I can still see you, even in death."

Hua Linye’s fox-like eyes looked at Su Muyao, rippling with a seemingly complex emotion.

Though in a sorry state, he exuded a kind of broken beauty.

The once enchanting aura had all but disappeared, leaving a sense of desolation around him.

Su Muyao’s face changed slightly, and she said, "You won’t die."

Su Muyao first opened the bandaged area of Hua Linye’s wound, and when she saw the injury on his waist, it was quite shocking.

The wound was deep and seemed to carry a faint black aura.

It was then that Mei Qingchen happened to return.

He glanced at Hua Linye, his face darkened, and he said solemnly, "This wound was caused by an Advanced Mutant Beast’s claws, such a deep cut."

At this moment, Mei Qingchen was somewhat damp, his hair still wet, having apparently just come from a bath somewhere.

Only after his bath did he return.

Hua Linye gave a bitter smile, his fox-like eyes seemingly stripped of color, now heavy with gloom, and he rasped, "True, so before I completely turn into a beast, you should kill me."

But he was unwilling.

He hadn’t avenged his father yet.

To just die here, with no one caring about his life or death.

In time, he would be completely forgotten by those around him.

When Su Muyao was cleaning the wound, she paused upon hearing this.

She seemed to think of something, a flash in her mind.

She suddenly remembered, when an Ordinary Mutant Beast injures a Beastman, as long as it’s treated promptly, it’s not a big issue.

But if an Advanced Mutant Beast wounds a Beastman, and the wound is contaminated, it’s easily invaded by a Dark Aura.

If a Beastman’s body is completely invaded by this dark aura, they turn into a mindless beast.

Generally, before completely becoming a beast, the Beastman will choose to commit suicide.

Even if they don’t, those around them will kill them to prevent them from becoming an uncontrollable beast.

No wonder Hua Linye was like this.

Xiao Jihan couldn’t believe it, "How did we encounter an Advanced Mutant Beast?"

Advanced Mutant Beasts are intelligent; they generally don’t appear in forests or personally hunt Beastmen.

They only manipulate Ordinary Mutant Beasts to fight.

Wen Nanxi’s usually gentle eyes now carried a sharp frost as he said coldly, "There might be a conspiracy here!"

Someone was deliberately targeting them.

But without evidence, it was hard to be certain.

He suspected it was the people from the Beast Emperor City pulling tricks.

Before coming to the Beiluo Tribe, he had investigated the information here.

Even after arriving at the Beiluo Tribe, he had gathered a lot of information; no one had ever seen Intermediate or Advanced Mutant Beasts here.

Even if Mutant Beasts were seen, they were always Ordinary Mutant Beasts.

Ordinary Mutant Beasts aren’t hard to deal with.

Hua Linye’s current state left Xiao Jihan and the others with a lingering sense of unease in their hearts.

Hearing this, Su Muyao’s expression changed.

She recalled memories from her past life, thought of the she-beast Liu Mengyan whom Jiang Mochuan cherished, thought of matters in the Beast Emperor City, and her gaze darkened.

She felt this was a targeted ambush on her.

Someone wanted her dead, no doubt about it, and they wouldn’t stop till she died.

On the Exile Road, those Mutant Beasts and those emerging assassins were unending.

But back then, with Shen Ci’an present and Mei Qingchen doing his best, along with the five Beast Husbands protecting her with all their might, she managed to reach the Beiluo Tribe.

Once arriving at the tribe, those individuals backed off.

Now those people were preparing to strike when Wen Nanxi and the others went out hunting for food, aiming to take them down one by one?

Such a ruthless mindset.

Realizing this, Su Muyao’s eyes flamed with anger.

She resolutely said, "You won’t be harmed!"

After cleaning Hua Linye’s wound, Su Muyao activated her Wood Element Ability to quickly heal the wound.

Everyone was astonished to see Hua Linye’s most severe wound healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Mei Qingchen was so shocked by the scene he couldn’t speak.

He had never seen a she-beast with such an ability.

When she repaired the Sword Spirit, he was incredulous.

But for her to heal severe wounds caused by Advanced Mutant Beasts so swiftly, this was beyond mere medical skill.

She had such an extraordinary ability!

Xiao Jihan and Wen Nanxi watched in disbelief.

Her ability surpassed their understanding.

Or perhaps, they had never truly understood her.

Hua Linye had been ready to die, never imagining the wound would heal.

He still had some minor injuries, which Su Muyao tended to one by one.

He still carried some black aura, remnants from the Advanced Mutant Beast.

However, Su Muyao had already removed some of the black aura for him.

He was no longer in immediate danger, nor would he quickly turn into a beast.

Hua Linye was both excited and incredulous, now regaining strength, not as weak.

He got up and embraced Su Muyao, exclaiming, "Wife, you’re amazing; my life is yours from now on."

She had saved him twice.

The warmth of her presence was so comforting, so intoxicating.

Su Muyao tried to push Hua Linye away, but Hua Linye pleaded, "Wife, I felt terrible just now; I don’t want to let go, just let me hold you for a bit."

Su Muyao, hearing his tender tone, softened for a moment, and said, "Hua Linye, you still have black aura; only when I completely remove it will you be safe."

"So, let go of me for now."

Hua Linye froze, looking at Su Muyao with an even more incredulous expression, "Wife, you can completely remove it?"

He already found it unbelievable that she could remove part of it.

She-beasts typically didn’t have abilities, only spiritual power to soothe Beastmen’s berserk states, mostly using spiritual power for comfort.

But Su Muyao’s ability was overwhelmingly powerful.

Mei Qingchen’s face was stern, deeply staring at Su Muyao, "Could it be the Purification Power?"

With that statement, Wen Nanxi and Xiao Jihan could no longer remain calm.
