Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 303 - 302: Not So Great

"Looks like we’re too late," a male beastman stomped his foot, both furious and anxious. "These Rogue Beasts have no respect for us at all! This time it was the Iron-eating Beast Clan. Which clan or tribe will be next?"

"We came prepared this time, but they still beat us to it. Next time, we might not get a warning in advance..."

Everyone’s expression was grim. They felt a mix of sorrow, desolation, helplessness, and regret that a once-mighty clan like the Iron-eating Beasts had fallen into such a state. But more than that, they worried that their own factions would become the next target for this pack of Rogue Beasts.

The Iron-eating Beast Clan’s situation was unknown. Before them was a thick fog with a powerful stupefying effect. The crowd lingered outside, momentarily undecided on whether to risk going in.

The groups arriving behind them also rushed over. Hearing the situation, they stood silently outside, watching helplessly.

But there was no wind tonight, so the dense smoke enveloping the Iron-eating Beast Clan Land refused to dissipate.

"We’ll wait here. The moment those Rogue Beasts come out, we’ll charge in and kill them! They dared to ignore the rules of our Beast City, raiding at night to wipe out the Iron-eating Beast Clan. That’s a direct threat to the stability of our Guangshou City.

We can offer them as a sacrifice to the members of the Iron-eating Beast Clan! We can’t let them run rampant any longer..."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Steeling themselves, they formed a circle around the Iron-eating Beast Clan’s territory. Their hearts pounded with anxiety, yet they didn’t dare relax for a second, afraid they too might become victims of this catastrophe.

Just then, a wind picked up, blowing away the smoke that had been blanketing the Iron-eating Beast Clan, revealing the clan land’s original appearance.

"Should we charge in and see what’s happening? At least we can see if we can rescue a few Iron Beast Cubs. Their clan has made significant contributions to the stability of Guangshou City. They shouldn’t all be..."

"Right, we have to take a firm stand! More than half of the Iron-eating Beast Clan members are away hunting or trading by the sea. If we remain indifferent now, who knows what will happen when they return and find all the clan members left behind have been brutally killed..."

The fighting spirit in everyone’s bones surged forth. To be patient now would be to indulge the Rogue Beasts!

Suddenly, the main gate of the Iron-eating Beast Clan swung open. Everyone tensed up, going on high alert. When they saw Wei Jin walk out with a cold expression, they all let out a huge sigh of relief and hurried to meet him.

"Thank goodness! Chief Wei, you’re all right! What on earth happened?"

"We were just about to charge into your clan’s territory once the mist cleared... We rushed here as fast as we could, but there wasn’t a single sound, just that thick fog..."

"What about the Rogue Beasts? Don’t tell me you’ve already dealt with them all?"

Wei Jin tilted his head. One of his clan members appeared, carrying in a single hand two large bundles—over a dozen unconscious Rogue Beasts, trussed up with vines like firewood.

Bundle after bundle was tossed out—not just dropped, but thrown high into the air and slammed hard onto the ground. Thanks to a perfectly measured dose of the Sharp Spike Wood Spirit, the Rogue Beasts were in a semi-conscious, dazed state, and the immense pain was just starting to drag their minds back to reality.

Their heads throbbed with a dull ache, and with their arms bound, they couldn’t move at all.

’Wait, didn’t we just raid the Iron-eating Beast Clan’s territory tonight? How did we end up tied up?’

The Rogue Beasts’ heads were still spinning. Before they could even get a clear look at their surroundings, more heavy things were thrown on top of them, bundle after bundle, successfully burying them and blocking their view.

Over three thousand Rogue Beasts were effortlessly tossed into a single, massive pile of beastmen by the Iron-eating Clan.

They were piled up so densely it was enough to make one’s skin crawl. ’All these Rogue Beasts... dealt with so easily by the Iron-eating Beast Clan?’

This huge reversal shocked the crowd and, at the same time, filled them with a newfound reverence for the Iron-eating Beast Clan. ’As expected of an old, established clan. Their hidden strength is far greater than we ever imagined.’

"Everyone has seen it. In the middle of the night, this mob of Rogue Beasts, instead of staying outside the city where they belong, raided our Iron-eating Beast Clan Land and even fanned a stupefying mist into our territory.

If we hadn’t been vigilant enough, I’m afraid our clan land, our shops, our fields, and even the young females in our homes would all be under new management by now, wouldn’t they?

We must have our vengeance for this. Of course, anyone is free to object. If you do, we’ll untie these Rogue Beasts and send them directly to your clan.

You can be the ones to feed and house them. How does that sound?" Wei Jin said, his face a cold mask as he bit out each word, not bothering to hide his fury.

’An awful idea!’

"It’s only right. They were the ones who harbored malicious and greedy thoughts first. If you hadn’t discovered them in time, you probably would have gone to see the Beast God by now.

The White Wolf Clan has no objections..."

"The way I see it, we’ve just been too merciful to the Rogue Beasts outside the city lately. It’s made them forget our methods from the past... If they were willing to work hard and weren’t afraid of danger, they wouldn’t have to resort to theft and robbery to survive the rainy season and the coldest season. Talent and Level have never been an excuse... The Saber-toothed Tiger Clan has no objections..."

"...The Golden Lion Clan has no objections..."

"...The Black Ape Beastman have no objections..."

As one clan and tribe after another voiced their support, no one else dared to object.

"Alright. At the end of the day, these Rogue Beasts didn’t manage to cause us any major harm," Wei Jin said slowly. The desperate and fearful Rogue Beasts felt a glimmer of joy in their hearts, but then they heard him continue: "So, we won’t take their lives. However, they must pay a price to make sure they learn their lesson, and to serve as a deterrent to any others watching from the sidelines, hoping to take advantage.

So, we’ll destroy each of their Dantians and break one of their legs. With a mark like that, they’ll no longer be able to enter Beast City to work."

The Rogue Beasts were filled with regret now and hurriedly begged for mercy. "Chief Wei Jin, we shouldn’t have let ourselves be led astray by others... I’ll help you farm your land for free to atone for my sins, how about that? Please don’t destroy our Dantians! If our Dantians are destroyed, we won’t even be able to shift into our Beast Forms..."

"If our legs are crippled, we won’t be able to hunt either! Th-this is no different from killing us! Chief Wei Jin, we truly know we were wrong! We beg you, give us a chance to change..."

Wei Jin let out a humorless laugh. "When you first had this idea, did you ever stop to imagine what would happen if you were caught?

In the end, this was all driven by your own greed. You thought your plan was flawless and never once considered the possibility of failure, did you?

You were only thinking about how you’d live it up after taking over our Iron-eating Beast Clan Land! Now you’re begging for mercy? Isn’t it a little late for that?

Or did you think the people of the Iron-eating Beast Clan are so good-natured, so stupid, that after you tried to kill us, we’d just stretch out our necks and wait for you to come back and bite them clean off a second time?"

"You can’t blame us! It-it was Mi Xing and her Beast Husbands who incited us! Even if you gave us ten times the courage, we would never dare to raid a Beast City..."

"Yes, yes! It wasn’t our idea! We’re just honest folk who help people farm! It-it was them! They said everyone in the city only sweeps the snow from their own doorstep and ignores the frost on their neighbors’ roofs.

They said that no matter how powerful the Iron-eating Beast Clan was, there was no way you could win against more than three thousand of us without any help... I just thought I’d finally have my own land to farm..."

"Mi Xing resents your Iron-eating Beast Clan... Her secret about ’borrowing a seed’ to have a child was exposed, and she wanted to drag you all down with her..."

The other Rogue Beasts were stunned, because all of those clamoring voices were coming from a single person!
