Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children

Chapter 603 - 602: Colorful Volcanic Rocks

Ji Liang said with a smile, "Then we’ll have to trouble you two brothers. The rest of us will split up—half will stay on shore to protect the cubs, and the other half will follow Little Shushu to help set up the Protective Shield."

Even if the winds and waves were gentler in the sea than on the surface, the surging currents in the shallow waters still created significant resistance. Using a Protective Shield was especially draining on one’s Spiritual Power.

The males discussed it for a moment and arranged a schedule without Si Shuo even having to think about it.

Si Shuo just listened with a grin, looking from one to another. Whenever she felt this happy and content, it all felt like a beautiful dream.

’How was I reborn? And how did I end up in this Beast World, where I can be with so many males?’

She couldn’t help but hug Xiao Cheng, who was right beside her.

He had been completely engrossed in the family meeting, trying his best to show off his intelligence and win the little female’s attention, when he was suddenly interrupted.

The little female’s soft hug made his mind short-circuit for a moment, even though he was a Father now. Then, his tail popped out in delight, and he wrapped his arms around her in return.

He whispered to Si Shuo, "Sister, I’m at Peak Sixteen level Peak right now. When I advance a level, I’ll get an open superpower slot. I have two slots open now. I’ve already replicated Brother Gong You’s Time Law with one, and when I reach the Seventeenth Level, I’ll copy Brother Xu Chi’s Space Law. I’m going to become even stronger to protect you and the cubs!"

Si Shuo patted his head, whispering back with a smile and a nod, "My Xiao Cheng is the most amazing. This is what they call a newcomer surpassing the veterans."

He had been cultivating for the shortest amount of time, yet he was able to keep up with his Couple Brothers. Besides his exceptional talent and comprehension, this had a lot to do with his diligence.

He was usually the most boisterous one, but when he got serious, it was in a way that tugged at your heartstrings.

Xiao Cheng lifted his chin proudly. "That’s because Sister is a great leader. Without you and my brothers motivating me, I’d definitely still be completely muddle-headed.

I love this feeling of our whole family striving to improve together. I’m not afraid of hardship or exhaustion; I’m only afraid that I won’t be able to protect you and the little cubs when danger strikes."

He was the youngest in the family, but he shouldered a great deal of responsibility.

The wind was fierce, and they couldn’t find a suitable spot. In the end, Ji Liang sent them into a mine cave. With talismans storing Spiritual Power from the Time and Space Laws, they could continue their Cultivation comfortably. They also had a shared space to communicate and confirm each other’s safety at any time.

Once everything was arranged, Yin Jiang let out a sharp cry and shot into the sky! He nimbly dodged the strong gusts, searching for the path of weakest wind to fly through.

He was fast, and as long as he had Crystal Stones, he barely needed to rest.

The South Sea region was vast, so he could only search in one direction at a time, exploring and eliminating areas one by one.

Gong You wasn’t just wandering aimlessly either; he was looking for Water Clan Beastmen. The Beastmen stationed on the shore were very welcoming when they saw them arrive.

This was Si Shuo’s first time in an Underground Beast City. It looked like the Dragon Palace from a travelogue, with swaying seaweed everywhere. Luminous Pearls and glowing fish cast a soft, fluorescent light in the pitch-black depths of the sea.

She had transformed into a mermaid and was now excitedly pulling Gong You and Zhi Le by the hand, browsing from one stall to the next. Naturally, she hadn’t forgotten to bring the cubs along to broaden their horizons.

There were all sorts of fish, shrimp, and crabs imaginable. Si Shuo wished she could buy out everything from one end of the street to the other!

Ji Liang wasn’t idle either. He spoke with the stall owners, asking about nearby islands, especially any with volcanoes and lakes.

The information the Beast God provided was very general: a deserted island, a volcano, and the bottom of a lake. An island that met these criteria wouldn’t be too small, so the Beastmen would at least have some vague impression of it.

After asking many people, Ji Liang even had someone help him refine his map.

The Beast City they had come to was quite famous in the region, attracting many Fish Beasts from all over. The information was a bit disorganized, but it still provided about seventy to eighty percent of what they needed to know.

After leaving the Beast City, Ji Liang took out the map. The group shared their information and narrowed their search down to a few islands.

"When I was in Ningbei City, I asked other Beastmen if they knew of any natural Space Storage Devices. Everyone was clueless; it was clear none of them knew about it.

So, when the Beast God mentioned it was a deserted island, it must be a very ordinary one. No one has discovered the properties of those colorful volcanic rocks."

"It’s also possible that the chances of finding rocks that can be used as a Ring Space are very low. If no one has ever come across one, they wouldn’t think to investigate further."

They hadn’t dared to ask about it in too much detail, so the answers they received were also vague.

Ji Liang frowned slightly. "How about this? I’ll go check out the large islands that people mentioned, the ones that fit the description. We can eliminate them one by one."

Just then, Little Hong raised her hand. "Father Ji Liang, I also asked a lot of Beastmen. I asked them which islands they had visited, passed by, or heard of, and what the characteristics of each island were.

Here, these are my notes."

She handed over a soft leather-bound notebook. It was half-filled with dense writing.

The information Little Hong had compiled was very comprehensive, including the islands’ names, features, directions, and travel times.

Little Jing leaned in to look and pointed to one of the locations. "It should be this one!"

Ever since Yanyi underwent his tribulation, Little Jing had been bathed in Blessings and had become much more sensitive to things like the world’s blessing.

Si Shuo and the males exchanged a look. ’Seriously? We’ve been running around all this time, wracking our brains to the point of overload, and the two cubs just solved the problem for us?’

Wei Ce laughed. "It seems we’ll have to include the cubs in our discussions from now on. We might get twice the results with half the effort."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Ji Liang immediately marked the location on the map according to Little Hong’s notes and teleported himself there.

In the middle of the island, he saw a volcano. At its base, there was indeed a crystal-clear lake, and at the bottom lay numerous colorful stones!

He suppressed his excitement and scouted the area a few times. Once he confirmed it was safe, he sent a small note into their shared space.

Next, Si Shuo teleported over. He had just embraced the little female and hadn’t even had a chance to get intimate and whisper sweet nothings when his Couple Brothers teleported over with the cubs...

A hint of gloom couldn’t help but cross Ji Liang’s face.

Si Shuo smiled, squeezed his hand, and gave it a gentle shake. "Ji Liang, there are so many stones at the bottom of the lake. We’ll have to search and test them one by one, and who knows how long that will take.

When we have time, can you take me for a walk around the island? It’s been a long time since I’ve gone for a walk with you."

Ji Liang squeezed her hand back, the corners of his lips curving up. "Okay."

There were many colorful volcanic rocks at the bottom of the lake, paving the entire lakebed and making the water look like a mirror of the sky.

The area had a wide, open view, and Flying Beasts passed by from time to time. To avoid attracting attention, they all used Invisibility before entering the lake to hunt for treasure.

To confirm if a rock was a Pocket Dimension Space, they had to probe each one with their spiritual power. It was a meticulous task that consumed a lot of spiritual power. What’s more, the rocks on the lakebed weren’t just a single layer; they were at least half a meter thick...
