Chapter 402 The Rampaging Death
Even if the head of the Jun family still wanted to salvage the situation, it was ultimately to no avail!
The farce ended abruptly, leaving everyone sighing with regret.
However, no one had time to worry about other people's family affairs. After all, the oppressive aura brought by the three demonic beasts was still there, and many friends who were just talking were now turned into cold corpses.
Many people were crippled as a result, losing arms or legs. In short, even with Xixi's help, war is war, and it is always so cruel.
Meanwhile, another worrying thing happened: the little ones who were supposed to be waiting around the castle had gone missing!
That's right, a total of thirty-six cubs disappeared completely and intact, without leaving a single clue.
When everyone carried Xixi back to their lodgings, what they saw was this desolate castle. The usual chatter and noise had vanished without a trace, replaced by silence, a silence so profound it made one's heart tremble.
Left with no other choice, the beastmen had to split into two groups. Jun Song and Liao Zhu stayed behind to take care of Xi Xi, while the others dispersed to search in various places.
Everyone firmly believes that if it was the work of a monster, there would definitely be bloodstains left at the scene.
Including what just happened, there are only three magical beasts in total, and no other magical beasts have appeared, so the cubs must have run away on their own!
Although I was angry that the cubs were running around, now was not the time to pursue the matter; I had to catch them back as soon as possible!
This time, they once again displayed their unique abilities, searching everywhere with their own skills.
Upon learning of this, the lynx tribe members also put aside what they were doing and joined the search team.
When many males in the vicinity learned that the goddess's cub had gone missing, although they were somewhat puzzled, most of them said nothing and spontaneously began to search for it together.
However, getting lost in a forest teeming with magical beasts is never a good omen. Not to mention during wartime, even in normal times, they strictly forbid cubs from entering the forest.
What's more, these are cubs that have just taken human form and have no combat experience!
In an instant, the already somber atmosphere on the battlefield became even more somber.
The monsters seem to have evolved intelligence, the goddess has fallen into a coma on the battlefield, and even her cubs have disappeared without a trace. All of this seems so strange.
So bizarrely, the break between Jun Song and the Jun family was like an appetizer, not worth mentioning at all.
……
Three days have passed, and the Goddess still shows no signs of waking up, and her cub has still not been found.
The males guarding the goddess changed from Jun Song and Liao Zhu to Yun Xi and Yin You, and finally, it was only Kan Kun Hai who remained alone...
What's even more disheartening is that the three teams that went further south all suffered varying degrees of heavy damage!
The Liao family suffered five deaths and thirteen serious injuries; the Fang family suffered twelve deaths and eighteen serious injuries; while the Yun family suffered twenty-eight deaths, with no one seriously injured returning.
The news they brought back was even more despairing: the monsters had actually developed intelligence and were no longer charging around recklessly. Instead, they had learned to deploy their troops and use advantageous terrain to set up ambushes!
That's right. The Yun family, one of the three families, was ambushed by the magical beasts, which is why they were almost wiped out. The survivors fled in panic and did not care about the wounded. That's why no one returned with serious injuries!
The Fang family, relying on their ferocious beast forms, bypassed the traps and engaged in close combat with the magical beasts, thus achieving victory. However, this method resulted in an exceptionally large number of them being seriously injured.
As for the Liao family, thanks to Liao Zhu's prophecy, they went the furthest, successfully reaching the southernmost point.
However, when they managed to close the door, they discovered that their strength was simply insufficient.
After a reluctant attempt, a severe backlash ensued, resulting in serious injuries to eighteen people!
On the way back, eighteen people collapsed one after another. By the time they returned to their base, five had died and thirteen were seriously injured!
What's chilling is that the thirteen seriously injured people were not wounded on the surface, but inside!
"The berserk factor is about to get out of control. These thirteen people must be thrown out of the camp. Otherwise, once they are completely transformed into beasts, the consequences will be unimaginable!" someone suggested on the spot.
However, the Liao family firmly believes that they could not have turned into beasts, and said, "The five people who died earlier also showed the same symptoms, but they did not turn into beasts completely. Instead, they died silently in their sleep."
Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised and doubtful, but faced with the Liao family's unwavering certainty, there was nothing they could do.
However, subconsciously, they kept their distance from the Liao family to avoid harming innocent people after the beast turned into an undead creature.
The Liao family was quite helpless about this, but there was nothing they could do.
In fact, the reason they rushed back was to seek the Goddess's help, because these people were all high-level males, and Cai Cai and the others were powerless to neutralize the berserk factors in their bodies. Only the Goddess could do it!
But when they heard that the Goddess had fallen into a coma in a battle three days ago, and had been in a coma for three days in a row, a sense of despair arose in their hearts!
So, were the compatriots they had painstakingly brought back ultimately doomed to die?
Even so, Cai Cai and the others persisted in comforting the thirteen males, thinking that they could alleviate their mental distress as much as possible, which was better than watching them die without doing anything!
In this way, it can be considered as repaying the Liao family for taking in the lynx tribe.
The Liao family was equally grateful, but they were still extremely anxious.
The seventh day has passed, and the cubs are still not found. In the past four days, another member of the Liao family has died, just as silently and peacefully in their sleep.
The fact that the madman had perished was forced upon everyone by the testimony of the female lynx, but they were even more afraid in their hearts.
Berserk transformation is the norm, but their actions are unprecedented. Is it because of something in the southernmost part? What exactly is that?
A series of questions lingered in people's minds, refusing to dissipate.
But there was some good news: the goddess who had been in a coma for seven days and seven nights had finally woken up.
After waking up, she did not immediately go to look for the cubs, but followed Liao Zhu to the Liao family's residence to help calm the twelve males who were in a frenzy and unconscious state.
This action deeply moved the Liao family. They knelt to thank the Goddess for her great kindness and praised their Liao Zhu for his success. They even enthusiastically introduced other single males in the clan, suggesting that if Xixi asked, they could simply pack up and send away a hundred or so giant pandas.
"Cough! No need...hehe..." Although giant pandas are cute, having hundreds of them crowding in front of you like a human wall still makes your legs go weak!
