Prophecy (Part 1)

Huanhuan pressed down on her abdomen and felt the life in her stomach. She suddenly felt strong courage.

If she saw a bad future, she would do her best to change the outcome.

She believed that humans could defeat nature!

Under the prophet’s gaze, Huanhuan had no choice but to take out the Prediction Mask.

The snow-white mask’s slender eyes were slightly upturned, and a red lotus was between the eyebrows.

Huanhuan closed her eyes and gently covered her face with the mask.

The mask seemed to have a life of its own as it automatically stuck to her skin, making her unable to feel that she was wearing a mask.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw that she was standing outside Rock City.

Corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed.

Under Shuang Yun’s lead, the beast soldiers guarded the city.

Countless demons crawled out of the underground cracks and pounced on the beast soldiers crazily.

Shuang Yun said to his children in front of him, “Dos, Tres, and Little Monster, come with me. Big Goody, stay in the city. If we die in battle, close the city gate and don’t let anyone enter.”

Shuang Yin’s tears fell.

But she said nothing. She just looked up and replied loudly with tears streaming down her face, “Got it!”

Shuang Yun nuzzled her forehead. “Take care of your mother. We’re leaving.”

The demons surged over like a tide. Their numbers were dozens of times that of the beast soldiers.

This was a war with almost no chance of winning.

Shuang Yun took out a jar of fruit wine, raised his head, and took a big gulp. Then, he threw the jar to his sons.

“This is wine brewed by your mother. After drinking it, we’ll be on our way!”

Dos, Tres, and Little Monster each took a sip of wine and finished it.

Shuang Yun gently placed the wine jar on the ground. He gently touched the opening of the jar with a gentle gaze. “Take care.”

The figures of the four Silvery Frost White Wolves were drowned in the sea of demons.

Huanhuan saw with her own eyes how Shuang Yun and the three children got more and more wounds on their bodies. She saw them being bitten by the demons one by one. She saw them fall into a pool of blood with their eyes wide open…

“No! Don’t!”

Huanhuan cried and pounced over, wanting to help them up. However, she passed through their bodies.

When she turned around, she realized that her surroundings had changed.

She stood in the snow. The trees around her were all frozen in ice and snow. Xue Ling led nearly a hundred feather beasts to land here.

Huanhuan looked over and did not see Shen Yan in the crowd.

A little girl in red flew to Xue Ling’s side and frowned. “Father, won’t Uncle Shen Yan be coming back anymore?”

“Yes, he won’t be back.” Xue Ling stroked his daughter’s hair. “Eggy, fly along this path with your tribesmen later. Don’t look back.”

Eggy grabbed his sleeve. “Father, are you leaving us too?”

“If I can’t go back, you’ll inherit the position of leader and protect them in place of me and Uncle Shen Yan. Can you do that?”

Eggy’s eyes turned red.

She threw herself into her father’s arms and wailed, “I can’t do it! I can’t do it! Father, please don’t leave us!”

Xue Ling stroked her head sympathetically. “Someone has to stay behind to cover our retreat. Shuang Yun is gone, and so is Shen Yan. It’s my turn now.”

The demons finally caught up.

When they saw the beasts of the feather tribe, their eyes lit up as if they had seen the freshest meat.

Xue Ling ruthlessly pried open his daughter’s fingers and pushed her into his tribe. “Take her away.”

“No! I don’t want to go!”

Eggy wanted to be with her father, but her tribesmen hugged her tightly.

They flew into the sky with Eggy.

Xue Ling stood alone in the snow. His fiery red feather coat became the most gorgeous color in the world.

He raised his right hand, and the flames in his palm danced gently.

Huanhuan involuntarily walked up to him.

She heard him speak.

“Do you remember that winter when I used firelight to ward off the cold for you? But I’m leaving now. What will you do in winter?”

His tone was filled with helplessness and pity, making Huanhuan’s heart ache.

She wanted to hug Xue Ling, but he had already spread his wings and flown into the sky.

His fiery red wings burned in the air.

There were also many winged beasts among the demons. They flew into the sky and surged toward Xue Ling.

The flames suddenly exploded, and fiery feathers fell like rain.

Huanhuan’s eyes widened.

She held out her hand in a daze. The feathers landed on her palm and instantly burned to ashes.

In her memory, this was similar to the first time she saw Xue Ling.

At that time, a feather had also landed on her palm.

He smiled and said that she would be his from now on as she had accepted his feather.

But now, the man in red who used to laugh and tease her had turned into fireworks and disappeared into the sky.

Huanhuan couldn’t help but close her eyes.

But this was not the end.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in front of the palace door of Sun City’s palace.

The air was filled with an unpleasant smell.

It was the smell of fresh blood and burnt flesh.

Bai Di stood on the steps, his metal armor reflecting a cold light. He looked down at the scarred beast soldiers and said nothing for a long time.

Bai An and Bai Hao stood behind him. Their young and handsome faces were determined and calm. They did not look their age at all.

Bai Di asked, “How long has Bai Luo been gone?”

The eldest son, Bai An, said, “It’s been three months.”

Bai Hao lowered his voice. “Uncle went to the City of 10,000 Beasts to ask for reinforcements. He hasn’t returned yet. I’m afraid he has met an unfortunate situation.”

Before leaving, Bai Luo entrusted Sun City to Bai Di and brought a few trusted sacrificial soldiers to the City of 10,000 Beasts to seek reinforcements. They agreed that if they did not return in three months, Bai Di would evacuate Sun City with the people.

But now that the flames of war had spread throughout the entire beast continent, even if they fled, where could they escape to?

All the beast soldiers looked at Bai Di.

They all knew very well that no reinforcements would come to save them.

Bai Hao clenched his fists in hatred. “Why didn’t the City of 10,000 Beasts send reinforcements to help us? Do they really think that as long as they give up on Sun City, they can satisfy the appetite of those demons and make them stop killing?!”

Bai An thought deeper and said coldly, “After the prophet died, the City of 10,000 Beasts became a battlefield for them to fight for power. They can only see the money and power in their hands, not the sorrow outside the city.”

“If we had known this would happen, we would have killed those bastards in the City of 10,000 Beasts before the demon beasts invaded!”

However, the truth was that all this ‘knowing’ was just a pipe dream.

Now that the demons had arrived at the city, Sun City was trapped.

And the people were alone and helpless.

Bai Di’s voice spread throughout the city.

“You have two choices. Either evacuate or fight to the end.”

The beast soldiers looked at each other.

If they could live, who wouldn’t choose that option?

But in this world, even if they survived, they were no different from maggots.

Instead of living with no dignity, they might as well fight to their hearts’ content!

Someone roared at the top of his lungs, “Even if I die, I’ll drag a few demons down with me!”

Everyone echoed angrily, “That’s right! They have to die with us!”

Bai Di turned to his two sons. “Evacuate through the secret passage with the females and cubs in the city. Ensure their lives if you can. If not, grant them quick deaths.”

His calm tone made Bai An and Bai Hao lower their heads at the same time.

“We understand.”
