Chapter 43 Xiao Tian's Predicament! Is He About to Fall Out of Favor?
Meanwhile, in Yan City, inside the City Lord's Mansion.
"Tonight is the night of the full moon. I wonder if Yu'er will be in danger in the wilderness. Should we send someone to protect him?" Feng Murong glanced in the direction of the Maple Leaf Tribe outside the city, a hint of worry in her eyes.
After all, he was her son whom she had carried for ten months; it was impossible for her to be completely indifferent.
Especially after Xiao Yu left, she suddenly felt that something was missing in her heart, and she felt empty.
The longer Xiao Yu was away, the stronger this feeling became.
Before, when he was by my side, I really hated looking at him.
But now that he's gone, I still think of him from time to time, remembering his kindness...
She was genuinely worried that her son might be in danger!
Xiao Ting glanced at his wife, frowned slightly, but did not refute her.
On each full moon night, the ferocious beast becomes even more violent and bloodthirsty.
With high walls protecting it and tens of thousands of troops stationed there, Yan City is completely safe.
Meanwhile, the smaller factions in the wilderness are often wiped out by beast tides.
Small tribes like the Maple Leaf Tribe could be completely wiped out by a single wave of beasts!
But what if the Maple Leaf Tribe is razed to the ground by the beast tide? What about his son?
"Father, Mother!" At that moment, a voice rang out from the side.
Seeing that his parents actually wanted to send someone to protect Xiao Yu, Xiao Tian advised, "Don't worry, my brother's skills are unparalleled, he'll be fine! Besides... if the beast tide destroys the Maple Leaf Tribe, my brother will have nowhere to stay and will come home."
Upon hearing this, the couple looked at their youngest son, Xiao Tian, with somewhat complicated expressions.
Feeling the scrutiny in his parents' eyes, Xiao Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
Ever since Xiao Yu left, his parents have been trying to get him back.
In particular, after he failed to find a water source on his own, his parents did everything they could to cover it up for him.
However, this also caused the couple to fall from grace, and their prestige declined day by day...
I'm constantly being talked about behind my back, accused of being ungrateful and betraying others...
As time went on, the couple became increasingly frustrated, thinking every day about bringing Xiao Yu back.
If it weren't for saving face, he probably would have gone out of the city to search for him himself long ago.
However, he no longer spoiled his second son, Xiao Tian, as he had before.
Because of all the difficulties Yan Cheng is currently facing, the couple is being scolded every day!
All of this was caused by Xiao Tian, his youngest son!
Previously, the couple had always spoiled and indulged Xiao Tian without any limits or reason!
But what about now? I've said it more than once: when my brother comes home, I'll make sure he learns a lot from him!
Xiao Tian was always worried that when Xiao Yu returned, he might take his place in his parents' hearts!
Therefore, he hoped that Xiao Yu would never come back! He hoped he would die out there!
The scene was silent for a while.
After a moment, Xiao Ting sighed, "Tian'er is right. Yu'er is angry with us now. Even if we send people to find him, he won't come back unless the Maple Leaf Tribe is gone..."
Feng Murong stared blankly in the direction outside the city, his expression somewhat conflicted.
"Fine, let's do it your way."
In the end, she accepted this statement.
At this time, several leaders came to report on the matters under their charge.
Everything proceeded as usual until the four leaders, Mad Dragon and Mad Dragon, finished their report.
"You're saying the treasure was dragged away by a monster?" Xiao Ting asked, his face grim as he looked at Kuanglong.
Just days ago, Kuanglong confidently assured everyone that he had captured Black Poison Bee, the fifth leader of Black Earth City, and that with severe torture, he could uncover the secret of the Night-Shining Tree. However, Black Poison Bee, being a foul-mouthed fellow, repeatedly hurled insults at Xiao Ting, accusing him of using his son to rise to power and of betraying him...
They were all criticizing things that Xiao Ting considered most taboo, things that no one else dared to mention!
As a result, Xiao Ting was furious.
Finally, Xiao Ting personally beat the Black Poison Bee until it was a bloody mess before he agreed to speak.
The problem is, this guy says the entire courtyard where the glow-in-the-dark trees were planted was dragged away by a monster.
Is this even human language? Are you trying to fool someone?
"Lord City Lord, is it possible that what Black Poison Bee said is true?" Mad Dragon had been scolded mercilessly by Xiao Ting these past two days, but recalling the scene he had witnessed before, he tentatively asked.
"hehe!"
Xiao Ting glanced at Kuanglong and sneered, "Why would a monster drag away a courtyard house? Does it think it can even live in a courtyard house? Use your brain! This is clearly Black Poison Bee playing a trick on you. Continue the torture until it tells you!"
"But, I received a threatening letter from Black Earth City..."
"Hmph! How dare this mere Black Soil City threaten me, its city lord! Beat them to death!"
"Yes! Your Majesty the City Lord is mighty!"
Kuanglong bowed his head with a bitter expression and agreed, preparing to continue the interrogation.
But in his heart he was full of complaints.
The threat posed by Black Soil City is to my entire family, not to you, the city lord, so of course you don't care.
Just then, a scout came in and said, "Lord City Lord! Something big has happened in the wilderness."
"What's the matter?"
"Yesterday, a gigantic monster, hundreds of meters in size, appeared near the Maple Leaf Tribe, crushing everything in its path... Now, the monster is heading straight west, seemingly towards the Black Demon Tribe..."
The scouts traveled to all the tribes that had seen the monster and verified its authenticity one by one.
After learning about the monster's situation, he immediately rushed back to report.
He had a premonition that this monster would bring disaster to Yan City.
"Yu'er..." Upon hearing this, Feng Murong's expression immediately tightened.
A giant monster hundreds of meters long must be at least a sixth-tier ferocious beast.
There are level six ferocious beasts lurking near Maple Leaf Tribe. Will Yu'er be in danger?
Not only her, but all the high-ranking officials of Yan City present were shocked.
These monsters usually hide deep in the forest and may not even come out on the night of a full moon.
"Could it be... that a monster from the depths of the forest has emerged ahead of schedule?"
"Impossible. If it were a powerful monster from the depths of the forest, the wilderness would have been turned upside down and rivers of blood would have flowed. But what about now? There's not a sound at all."
"So, where did the monster come from?"
"Could it have crawled out from underground?" Kuanglong chuckled awkwardly, recalling his previous experience.
He had seen the ferocious beast that broke out of the ground when he was at the Night-Shining Tree stronghold.
However, the monster only tore open a crack in the ground, snatched their prey, and then disappeared. He only vaguely saw a dragon head that was more than ten meters long, but he didn't see the whole thing. Could it be that monster?
As a result, before he could even speak, he was ignored by the city lord and several leaders.
There was nothing he could do; the other leaders all looked down on him because he was the weakest, so he had the lowest status.
Even though he felt that this monster was very likely the same monster from the Night-Shining Tree.
"Lord City Lord, there's one more thing..." At this moment, the scout looked up at the City Lord and his wife again, and cautiously reported another piece of news:
"According to my investigation, all two hundred members of the Maple Leaf Tribe have vanished without a trace! And the first to notice this were those who saw the giant tortoise..."
