Beast World: Rise to Power with the Offspring System-Chapter 116 - 115: No Throne Without Bloodshed

Sally stood atop the dragon egg and glanced at the dagger, "No need, I have plenty of things for self-defense."

Zi Qi saw that she wasn't interested and tossed the dagger back to Yu Yan, "You keep it."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Yu Yan accepted it.

Sally squinted at the glittering treasure chest, "Your Majesty, do you think this chest is valuable?"

"It's probably made of gold," Zi Qi said with a smile, eyeing her greed, "You can try burning it with fire, as gold can be exchanged for points."

"Okay," Sally immediately started burning the treasure chest with fire.

In the end, she really did manage to burn out a gold nugget the size of a fist. Sally rubbed her little paws together, her eyes also sparkling with gold, "I'm rich!"

The smile on Zi Qi's face paused slightly, his gaze fixating on the points displayed on Sally's wrist.

Although the number was small, it didn't affect his vision in the slightest.

At the same time, Yu Yan had also noticed, but he didn't care too much.

Yin Zang had gone to collect firewood and hadn't returned for so long, it was obvious he had encountered evil beasts.

However, the points kept increasing rapidly, suddenly jumping to a total of 10,000 points.

Yu Yan finally lost his composure and immediately teleported away.

Zi Qi grabbed Sally, took the dragon egg and the gold nugget, and followed by teleporting away.

...

After arriving at the location, Sally fought the dizziness that the sudden teleportation brought, trying to collect herself, "What happened?"

But she saw Yin Zang standing amidst a pile of beastmen corpses, scratching his head, "I thought they were evil beasts, didn't expect it to be a squad."

Sally was no longer dizzy, now what?

Then she asked Yu Yan, "Have you experienced something like this in the last Holy War?"

"Too many times to count," replied Yu Yan, who approached the corpse of a female beastman and conjured a strand of Earth Elemental Power between his hands, saying calmly, "Earth Fissure Technique."

The ground immediately split open, revealing a crack more than a meter wide.

All the beastmen corpses were moved into the crack, and eventually, the fissure closed up.

Just like that, a squad disappeared.

Zi Qi held Sally in his hand, looking at her distressed face, and asked, "Do you remember the people we met in the village?"

Sally looked at him, realizing, "It isn't them, is it?"

Zi Qi replied, "That's them. They must have someone particularly good at tracking, waiting for one of us to be alone, and then striking one by one."

Yu Yan also added, "This is just the beginning. Furthermore, they still have people to bury their dead now, but later on, when corpses are everywhere, they will be food for the wild animals."

Sally was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, with teary eyes, she looked at Zi Qi, "Your Majesty, Yanyan doesn't want to be food for the wild animals."

"..." Zi Qi pinched her little paw, "If you feed them, we won't be able to escape either."

"So let's just hang in there," Sally clung to one of his fingers.

"Hang in there?"

"It means to keep hiding and surviving until the very end, making it to the top three is enough."

"..."

"What Lady Sally is suggesting is also a way, the top three is mainly about accumulating points," Yu Yan contributed, "This Holy War is clearly different from the last one, there are a lot more ways to earn points. Like the treasure-hunting we just did, killing evil beasts, and even gathering herbs can be exchanged for points."

Yu Yan had survived the bloody battles of the previous Holy War.

Having lived through such brutality, he had no desire to experience it again.

Yin Zang, on the other hand, was fine with anything, "I can do it all."

Zi Qi placed Sally on top of his head, "We may not initiate attacks, but we can't let those who come to us get away. Otherwise, you might as well not be the Holy Mother."

There is no throne unsoiled by blood, but since she wished for less killing, she would do her best.

"Mhm, as Your Majesty commands!" Sally breathed a sigh of relief.

A group of people returned to Xiaozhu Town.

There were considerably more people on the streets than when they had left.

The inns in the town were fully booked, and the prices were exorbitantly high.

Sally remembered that in her Birth Gift Pack for Xiaoqi, the System had included a foldable villa.

At the time, she had wondered where she would ever need such a thing.

With the Teleport Technique, she could go home anytime.

But now it was proving to be useful.

Sally found an unclaimed open space along the street and then retrieved the foldable villa from her space, initiating the one-touch automatic setup.

What was originally a simple steel box eventually turned into a two-story villa with three bedrooms, a kitchen, and two bathrooms.

The three grown men stared at the foldable villa as if they were witnessing some rare Innate Secret Technique.

"This thing is not bad," Zi Qi was the first to voice his approval.

Yu Yan was also staring agape, "I've never seen anything so magical. Is this also from the Offspring System?"

Sally nodded, "It is. Didn't the females you followed have something like this?"

"No. Her Offspring System could grow crops and had a Spiritual Spring; no matter how severe her injuries were, as long as she didn't die, she could recover quickly. And she was also very fertile, the most she had at one time was three hundred and fifty-five!"

"What?" Sally felt dizzy, "Three hundred and fifty-five? For real?"

"She laid three hundred and fifty-five snake eggs and secured a spot in the final competition for the Holy Mother," Yu Yan replied indifferently.

Sally could hardly imagine it, "Three hundred and fifty-five! That's indeed impressive. A Holy Mother should have that kind of powerful Fertility Strength to stand a chance of winning, right?"

She even doubted if she could make it to the end.

Sally's foldable villa attracted many onlookers. There were also people who had not found an inn, asking her whether they could stay.

In the end, overwhelmed by the disturbance, Zi Qi set up a maze outside the foldable villa, making it invisible to the outside people, and finally, there was peace.

But Sally, looking outside, was not affected by the maze at all.

She had transformed back into her human form and stood by the window.

It was already getting dark outside. The first day in the Spiritual Beast Continent, participating in the Holy War, had passed with both surprise and no danger.

And this was just the beginning of their journey here.

All the squads were probably busy collecting information about the Holy War and hadn't officially entered the wartime state.

She opened the System Map and observed the pedestrians coming and going.

She noticed several females surrounded by five males each.

Those who could come here were undoubtedly of Spirit Rank; no matter how high Zi Qi and his companions' talents were, they couldn't beat the numerical advantage at the same rank.

The scheme to play it safe was imperative and was currently the best way to preserve their strength as much as possible.

After his bath, Zi Qi came up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Yu Yan and Yin Zang have gone out," he said in a lazy, husky voice.

"Are they out to earn points?" Sally turned around, hugged his waist, and deeply inhaled the seductive, intoxicating scent emanating from him.

"No. Let's talk about earning points tomorrow. This Holy War is very different from what Yu Yan has experienced before, they went out to gather information. And also to assess the strength of the other squads."

"Why didn't you tell me? I would have gone with them," Sally's hands mischievously slipped into Zi Qi's bathrobe.

Zi Qi chuckled low, his laugh sexy and enticing, "You know full well why they chose this time to go out."

Of course, Sally knew it, licking her lips...

Just when the kindling was about to ignite a fiery blaze, a clap of thunder suddenly sounded outside.

Sally quickly checked the System Map and saw that on the street outside, two squads had started to battle.

"Alas! It seems that even a truce zone can't always guarantee peace."
