Eggy was shocked. “Mom…”

Huanhuan shushed her. “Shh, don’t speak.”

Blood flowed and spread along the carved totem patterns. When the totems were filled with blood, the ground and stone pillars suddenly glowed with a faint golden light.

It was the awakening of the 10,000 Beast Totem!

Huanhuan quickly chewed two fragrant and crispy fruits. She smeared the pulp on her palm and wrapped the wound with gauze.

She changed into her sacrificial dress and stepped barefoot on the totem patterns. She began to dance the Dance of the G.o.ds.

The hem of her dress swept across the blood, but it was not stained at all.

The black crystal anklet made a crisp sound when it touched the ground.

Eggy stood beside the altar and saw her mother dancing around the statue like a b.u.t.terfly spreading its wings. Countless b.u.t.terfly flowers flew out and danced to her rhythm.

The flowers and plants around the altar began to grow crazily, fighting to bloom into gorgeous flowers.

The miracle that had once appeared at the 10,000 Beast Ceremony appeared again.

Eggy was stunned.

She didn’t notice a figure hiding behind a tree not far away.

…

Outside Red Crystal City, there were white bones everywhere. The plants and animals that had been infected by demonic energy emitted a strong stench.

Even the sky was covered in dark clouds. There was no sunlight or hope.

Today was the third day of the siege of Red Crystal City.

Countless beast soldiers had died. The young and strong people who could be used in the city had all been gathered to guard the city gate. The remaining people in the city were all old, weak, sick, and pregnant.

The city lord’s arm was also injured.

His arm was wrapped in cotton cloth. His face was pale as he hurried down the street to the camp.

There were too many injured people, and there were not enough tents and houses. Many of them could only lie on the roadside in the open. The air was filled with the smell of blood.

All the witch doctors in the city were dead. Currently, only the third elder was left. He had come to build an altar.

The third elder had originally planned to leave after building the altar. Unexpectedly, before he could leave the city gate, Red Crystal City was surrounded by demons and demons.

Outside the city gate were demons and monsters. As long as the beasts in the city went out, they would definitely die.

The third elder couldn’t leave and could only stay in the city.

At first, he did not save them. After all, he still had the arrogance of an elder. If these ordinary beast soldiers died, so be it. He could not be bothered.

But later, he watched as the witch doctors died one by one and the number of injured beasts quickly increased.

In the end, he was the only beast left who knew medicine.

If he didn’t save them, those injured people would die.

If these beast soldiers were all dead, who would protect the city?

If there was no one guarding the city gate and Red Crystal City fell, he would definitely die with them.

After figuring this out, the third elder didn’t dare to slack off anymore. He rolled up his sleeves and tried his best to treat the injured.

Now, he had not slept for three days and two nights.

Even after seeing the city lord, the third elder didn’t stop moving. He said, “I’m sorry, there are still more than ten seriously injured patients here who haven’t been treated. Wait a moment. I’ll bandage their wounds before changing your dressing.”

The city lord waved his hand. “Go about your business. Don’t worry about me.”

His injuries were not serious, and he did not need to change his dressing for the time being. He was here mainly to see the situation of the injured in the camp.

It looked bad.

The city lord summoned a trusted subordinate to ask about the exact situation.

“City Lord, our army has suffered heavy casualties. Currently, there are less than 500 surviving beast soldiers. 400 of them are injured. There are less than 100 truly alright beast soldiers left.”

Hearing this, the city lord’s expression became even uglier. “What can a hundred people do? That’s not even enough for those demons outside to eat breakfast!”

“At this rate, as long as the enemy attacks again, our city gate will be breached.”

The city lord walked two rounds on the spot, feeling depressed and frustrated. “Hasn’t the City of 10,000 Beasts sent reinforcements?”

“No.”

The confidant paused and looked around to make sure no one was paying attention. Then, he lowered his voice and said, “Red Crystal City is in danger. City Lord, you should evacuate with your mate and children as soon as possible.”

The city lord thought for a long time before saying, “Arrange for a few smarter beast soldiers to leave through the secret pa.s.sage with my mate and children.”

“What about you?”

“I can’t leave.” The city lord looked at the injured around him with a solemn gaze. “If I leave, it’ll be equivalent to killing all the beasts in the city. I have to stay and die with you!”

Tears welled up in his confidant’s eyes. “You…”

He had just said a word when they heard a loud bang!

Everyone was shocked.

They looked in the direction of the sound and realized that it was coming from the city gate.

A beast soldier rushed over in a panic and shouted, “They’re attacking the city! The enemy is attacking the city!”

The city lord’s expression changed. He immediately sent a team to gather all the females and cubs in the city and secretly bring them out of Red Crystal City to seek protection in the City of 10,000 Beasts.

As for the remaining people, they followed the city lord to the city gate to fight!

After three consecutive days of torture, the city gate was already on the verge of collapse. Now, it finally couldn’t take the burden and was knocked open from the outside.

Countless demons and monsters surged into the city.

The city lord led the beast soldiers to fight to the death.

Most of the beast soldiers were injured. They tried their best to fight to the death, but in the end, they could not defeat those ferocious demon beasts. The beast soldiers fell one by one.

The sky was almost covered in blood mist, revealing a scarlet light.

At this moment, the altar in the city emitted a golden light.

Countless spots of light flew out of the divine pillar and landed everywhere in the city like snow.

The golden spots of light landed on the injured soldiers, and their wounds immediately healed at a visible speed. After the animals and plants polluted by the demonic aura came into contact with the golden spots of light, the demonic aura quickly disappeared and dissipated. The animals and plants returned to their original state.

The third elder was extremely shocked to see the injured people around him, who were originally on their last breaths, recover in the blink of an eye.

He scrambled out of the house and knelt facing the altar, shouting.

“This is a miracle! A miracle summoned by the prophet. The beast G.o.ds are protecting us. The beasts won’t die!”

Seeing this, the people around also knelt down to thank the prophet and the beast G.o.ds for their protection.

After the demons and monsters who were killing wantonly touched the golden light spots, the magic patterns on their bodies immediately faded a lot, and their strength weakened.

The city lord took the opportunity to lead the beast soldiers to counterattack.

After bathing in the golden spots of light, their fatigue and despair were swept away. They were filled with strength.

They chased the enemy out of Red Crystal City in one go.

The city gate was closed again.
