Chapter 261 The Most Understood Defenses (Bonus Chapter for Yu Yu)
The guard was slightly taken aback. Usually, the evidence was conclusive before the guards would notify the orcs.
Are you going to invite them before you've even obtained any evidence of their innocence?
So does that mean the evidence must be irrefutable? Otherwise, everyone's going to be in trouble?
However, the guards dared not raise any objections and could only obey orders and leave the hall.
Why did the Beast King only issue this order now when he could have made such a decision much earlier?
Because the Silver Cup Priest he found couldn't guarantee that the cub in Lu An'an's belly was definitely of ancestral blood; he could only detect that its aptitude was not bad.
But what's the use of having good qualifications?
Even with its excellent bloodline and aptitude, the Moon Rabbit can only comprehend a tiny bit of the rules of its innate divine abilities when it leaps from the Gold Rank to the Human Rank.
Then, when the superpower is released, there will be a qualitative change.
Some orcs might think that's already pretty impressive!
But he is the Beast King!
What's the use of getting stronger by just a little bit!
Only a Moon Rabbit cub with ancestral bloodline is allowed!
In that case, once the cub reaches the red-tier ability level, there will be a chance that it can pass on its innate ability.
For example, most members of the Moon Rabbit race are affinity-friendly to the Light attribute, although some are affinity-friendly to the Fire attribute and other attributes.
Take the fire attribute as an example. If a Yellow-rank Moon Rabbit Beastman with a special ability level is allowed to learn a special ability by a Red-rank Beastman with a bloodline of ancestral blood who has comprehended a natural ability.
Regardless of whether this innate ability is ice-attribute or water-attribute, this fire-attribute-friendly Moon Rabbit beastman, after learning a portion of the innate ability, can unleash more than double the attack power it previously possessed.
In other words, a Yellow-rank orc could only kill one orc when he used his special ability. However, after he mastered a quarter of his innate divine power, he could kill two orcs with his ability.
Therefore, all tribes were eager to recruit orcs with their ancestral bloodlines. Of course, some tribes had inherited special talents.
However, only the Moon Rabbit Clan possesses such combat power and thick skin that they can achieve twice the combat strength of their previous abilities with only a quarter of their innate divine power.
Other tribes don't have such powerful innate abilities. Even for the dragon race, mastering one-tenth of an innate ability would only increase their combat power by 25%.
Therefore, the Beast King values the cubs with innate supernatural abilities and ancestral bloodlines more than any other beastman!
Only if Lu An'an can guarantee giving birth to cubs with ancestral bloodlines will she be worthy of the Beast King's full attention!
Otherwise, the Beast King would not allow anything to happen to Holy Female Ruan Xiyue!
Only the offspring of the ancestral bloodline of the Bright Moon Rabbit, born from the Holy Female Ruan Xiyue, can enhance the strength of the entire Bright Moon Rabbit clan!
The beast cities in various places are not so peaceful now!
The offerings they pay to the Holy City are getting less and less, and the reasons they give for not paying the offerings are always the same, one reason after another!
This greatly annoyed the Beast King!
If he had a guard team of Moon Rabbits who possessed innate supernatural abilities, he couldn't even imagine how obedient the Beast Cities of the Beast God Continent would be!
Therefore, the Beast King now needs to resolve two things: one is to ensure the life-stealing technique is severed, and the other is to ensure that Lu An'an can give birth to her cubs!
However, these two things are somewhat contradictory!
Lu An'an's baby hasn't developed yet because it lacks energy!
The two cubs inside her womb have been sealed in and have been slowly absorbing nutrients to survive until now, but they haven't yet absorbed enough vitality and nutrition.
The Beast King didn't really love Lu An'an, the female, because she had poison in her body.
If she wasn't sealed in that stone bed, there was no way the cubs could be born safely.
Lu An'an and her cub will both lose their lives to this potent poison!
The poison on Lu An'an's body is also related to the Beast King's black witch doctor brother.
If he dies, it will exacerbate the poison in Lu An'an's body, causing it to take effect instantly. Then Lu An'an and her unborn child will die immediately!
However, Jiu Chen's master said that if they could find the black witch doctor who cast the life-stealing spell and kill him, they could completely break the life-stealing spell!
This put the Beast King in a dilemma.
He wanted to break the life-stealing technique, otherwise, if Ruan Xiyue kept refusing to give birth to cubs for Xia Weier, where would the ancestral bloodline cubs he wanted come from?
Of course, he knew that killing his brother, the black witch doctor, would directly break the curse. However, he still knew which of his grandchildren and children would listen to him more!
His children would definitely listen to him more! So, he didn't want to give up the cub in Lu An'an's belly!
So, everything has reached a stalemate!
The Beast King wanted to find a way to have the best of both worlds, ideally one that would allow him to have both the fish and the bear's paw.
Xia Weier didn't care what the Beast King was thinking; he knew that the Beast King was only thinking about what was most beneficial to him.
--------
Therefore, Xia Weier must do his best to protect Ruan Xiyue, because a beastman like the Beast King would not allow his own interests to be harmed for the sake of his descendants!
Xia Weier compiled all the clues, including those obtained during the interrogation and beating of the chieftain and elders in the Spirit Fox Tribe.
He told Longze, "I suspect that this black witch doctor is not on the run at all."
Long Ze also looked up at Xia Weier: "Do you think... he's in the Holy City?"
Xia Weier nodded: "You said the Yan Beast Organization has already taken down two black witch doctor dens, and they've never even seen this beastman before."
However, in the early days, I heard of an orc who seemed to have inquired about similar spells.
This indicates that the black witch doctor once existed, but later disappeared.
"And to truly make an orc disappear without a trace, without leaving any clues, I think that apart from the Holy City, no other place could possibly do that!"
Upon hearing this, Long Ze nodded in agreement.
They searched high and low for this sorcerer, turning up almost the entire Beast God Continent! But they couldn't find him no matter what!
This in itself illustrates a point.
Xia Weier gritted his teeth: "I'll settle things here first. If we want to assassinate an orc from the Holy City, we'll need to make a lot of arrangements! Just figuring out where they are is a huge undertaking!"
Long Ze remained silent for a moment, then nodded.
When Qin Ye returned to the tribe, it was seven or eight days later than the usual end of the beast tide.
Ruan Xiyue was very worried. Seeing the various wounds on his body, she felt heartbroken.
Ruan Xiyue quickly used her supernatural abilities to heal Qin Ye, and couldn't help but ask him, "Why are you back so late?"
Qin Ye shook his head: "Don't worry, it's just that they suffered too many casualties in the later stages of this beast tide. They were very unwilling to accept it and kept thinking that they must fight one last time, so they were delayed for many days."
"We didn't come back until we had killed them so many that they could no longer muster any strength."
Ruan Xiyue nodded, and after healing Qin Ye's wounds, she let him go to wash up.
Just then, the knocking sounded again. Ruan Xiyue sniffed the scent coming through the crack in the door, frowned slightly, and opened the door: "Witch doctor?"
