The blinded white elephant became even more irritable and crazy. He desperately overturned the chimpanzee on top of him and tried to get up to fight back.

The snow eagle took the opportunity to fly forward and stab a sharp wooden spike into the white elephant’s body from behind, penetrating its entire body!

At the same time, Ah Gui rushed over and shouted at the top of his lungs, “No!”

The white elephant’s heart was pierced. Even as a demon, he couldn’t hold on anymore.

It could only sway twice before crashing to the ground.

Ah Gui ran over and hugged the white elephant’s ivory. His face was covered in tears. “Father! Don’t die. Open your eyes and look at me!”

The snow eagle returned to human form. She landed and watched as Ah Gui cried.

Perhaps it was because he was on his dying breath, but the white elephant finally regained some rationality. He looked at his son in front of him and said weakly, “Don’t cry…”

“Father! You’re my only family. Don’t leave me!”

“In the past, you always complained that I was too controlling of you. In the future, I won’t be able to control you anymore. You can do whatever you want. You can grow up as you wish.”

Ah Gui sobbed. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have argued with you. I shouldn’t have said those despicable words to you…”

“I always thought that I didn’t have enough time to teach you everything I knew, so I was always strict with you. I hope you can become stronger as soon as possible. In the future, when I’m not around, you have to take good care of yourself and work hard to become stronger. Stop throwing tantrums.

“I’m going to look for your mother. I miss her so much…”

The white elephant’s voice gradually faded, and his blood-red eyes turned green.

However, his green eyes were no longer as bright as before.

They were empty and lifeless.

Ah Gui almost broke down in tears. “Father!”

Xue Hui looked down at her hands, which were covered in blood. It was Bi Huan’s blood.

She was the one who killed Bi Huan.

She was probably the last person he wanted to see now.

At the same time, the chimpanzee fell to the ground. His body was covered in blood. His organs could be seen from the wound in his abdomen. Blood flowed like water.

The beasts gathered around him, looking for grass and leaves, trying to stop the wound from bleeding any further.

“Your Majesty, bear with it. When the bleeding stops, we can go back!”

Qian Ye glanced at the white elephant, that was not far away. He knew that he was dead. While he was relieved, he also felt a deep sense of helplessness and grief.

No matter how many mistakes Bi Huan had made, at the very least, he had done many things for the Divine Wood clan over the years. He had saved the lives of many clansmen.

If merits could be offset, he should be innocent now.

Thinking of this, the corners of Qian Ye’s mouth twitched into a self-deprecating smile.

Could he really be innocent?

The Divine Wood was already dead. It had completely given up on the Divine Wood clan.

Now that he and Bi Huan were dead and the divine tree was covered in wounds, he did not know how long the clan could last.

Qian Ye called Xue Hui in front of him and said in a weak voice, “The army of the City of 10,000 Beasts will rush in soon. Don’t expect those beasts to help. They’ll only take advantage of your weakness. Take our people and leave the Divine Wood City immediately. Find a place to live peacefully and don’t come back.”

She held his fingers and looked at him sadly. “Your Majesty, can’t you come with us?”

“I can’t walk anymore.”

Xue Hui shed tears.

“Life and death are up to fate. I’m already very lucky to be able to survive until now, so you don’t have to feel sad for me. After you leave, don’t mention the Divine Wood clan to anyone else, and don’t contact the City of 10,000 Beasts again. Living well is more important than anything else.”

Tears streamed down her face as she nodded. “Okay.”

Qian Ye closed his eyes. “From now on, the Divine Wood City will no longer exist in this world.”

“Your Majesty…”

Qian Ye’s arm slid off, and he was completely dead.

Xue Hui covered her face and fell to her knees, crying.

The other beasts knelt down as well, their faces filled with grief.

The flames were still burning. Many of the branches of the divine tree had been burned off. The dark branches looked shocking.

It was not until everything that could be burned was burned that the fire gradually subsided.

The bark of the divine tree had been charred black, and the roots had been burned. White petals floated down to the charred ground.

The divine tree had successfully stopped the fire and saved the forest behind it.

It had fulfilled its promise to Qian Ye just now.

The divine tree sighed.

It could finally rest.

The charred branches fell to the ground with a bang. Finally, the entire tree fell to the ground with a bang!

The army of the City of 10,000 Beasts rushed into the forest like a hot knife through butter.

Ah Gui refused to let go of the white elephant’s remains. Xue Hui and the others could not drag him away, so they could only knock him out and take him away by force.

…

At the same time, on a small hill a dozen miles away from the forest, Huanhuan seemed to sense something. She immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the Divine Wood City.

The divine tree that should have stood there was gone.

Huanhuan took out the seed given by the divine tree and felt that it had become heavy.

A cold snowflake landed in her palm.

She looked up at the falling snow and said in amazement, “It’s snowing.”

Once it snowed, it meant winter was coming.

They had to get back to the rock mountain before winter came.

In order to make it easier to travel quickly, Xue Ling carried Huanhuan and flew in the sky. Bai Di and Xuan Wei ran quickly on the ground.

Even though they were all tired and hungry, they could only eat a little and rest for a while before continuing the journey.

Three days later, the ground was covered in snow, and the trees were covered in ice crystals.

But it wasn’t the coldest yet.

Bai Di and Xuan Wei drank two mouthfuls of fruit wine from time to time to warm themselves. Xue Ling’s beast soul had a fire attribute, so he was naturally unafraid of the cold. Huanhuan snuggled into his arms. It felt like she was hugging an oversized warm baby. It was very warm.

After traveling like this for more than 10 days, they finally reached the rock mountain before the second snowfall.

Shuang Yun and Sang Ye, who had received the news in advance, were already waiting at the foot of the mountain.

As soon as they saw Huanhuan and the other three, they immediately went forward to help them push aside the snow in front of them so that they could walk.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they returned to the rock mountain.

Big Goody rushed up with her siblings and rubbed against Huanhuan. Their fluffy tails wagged especially happily.

Huanhuan stroked the heads of the four wolf cubs, then reached out to hug the tiger babies.

The two little ones seemed to have grown a lot. They were tall and strong. It took her a lot of effort to pick them up.

Shuang Yun said, “We’ve already made hot soup at home. Let’s go back and drink some hot soup before we talk.”

Xue Ling asked warily, “Did you cook the soup?”

Shuang Yun was very proud. “That’s right! I spent the entire day making meat soup!”

Xue Ling thought for a moment and said seriously, “My stomach hasn’t been feeling well recently. I don’t want to eat meat.”
