Chapter 431: The Tribe Unites to Slay the Monster

Ashu and the others were also injured, which made Nan Qinghuan even more worried.

When they saw Ashu being carried in by Ji Lei, his clothes were torn to shreds, his Beast Skin was ripped, and his body was drenched in fresh blood—it was clear he had been wounded by a wild beast!

"Ji Lei, how did this happen?"

Ji Lei was also nervous; after briefly explaining to Nan Qinghuan, she finally understood—so that was it!

"Where are the people of the Giant Tribe, and where is Ying?"

"Ying has already taken people to chase them; Youchao Xuan and the others have been rescued and are just behind us, but…"

"Goddess."

Behind them, Youchao Xuan limped toward this side with Qingfeng, and seeing that Youchao Xuan was also injured, Nan Qinghuan hurried forward, looking at their disheveled state.

"Are you okay?"

Youchao Xuan felt very ashamed and was about to speak when Qingfeng suddenly knelt down, "I'm sorry, Goddess, I shouldn't have taken Youchao Xuan out hunting; otherwise we wouldn't have run into the Giant Tribe. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Qingfeng had a minor injury—a scraped arm that didn't look serious—so Youchao Xuan, fearing Nan Qinghuan would punish her, quickly spoke up, "I wanted to go out for a walk; I've been cooped up lately. Goddess, don't blame Qingfeng. No one could have known the Giant Tribe would have a Great Beast waiting for us outside."

Indeed, they had come specifically to capture him and take him back, demanding that he build houses for their tribe.

Fortunately, Ying arrived in time; otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!

After hearing Youchao Xuan's words, Nan Qinghuan remained calm, realizing that the Giant Tribe had been watching them for a while; daring to come in the dead of Winter was courting death!

"Tell me, where did Ying go, and what does that Great Beast look like?"

She is going to find Ying!

She has seen many monsters in the Primeval Forest, and she can figure out a way to tame them.

Qingfeng's whimpering was a headache; Nan Qinghuan scolded, "Shut up, get up, stop crying. If you're injured, go heal. Where did Ying and the others go, and how many people are there now?"

"Qinghuan."

The elder ancestor arrived not far away, accompanied by Rongdi and Yao.

Rongdi and Yao hurried over with their battle gear; seeing Nan Qinghuan's swollen belly still dealing with tribal matters, they felt very distressed.

Rongdi looked at her protruding big belly, and even so, Nan Qinghuan was still as beautiful as when he first saw her.

"Qinghuan."

"Goddess, we have arrived; what exactly is happening?"

"How did you get here?"

"It was I who summoned you; this opponent is a big fellow—the Giant Tribe. Yao, Rongdi, you need to help Ying; Ying has already gone after them."

The elder ancestor surprisingly possessed foresight; she knew something about the Giant Tribe, giving Nan Qinghuan a slight edge.

"Thank you so much for coming. Youchao Xuan, where did Ying go? Shall we go find him?"

"Qinghuan, you stay here. I brought a few people; Yao and I will go out to find him. Rest assured, I will definitely bring Ying back to you."

Rongdi promised Nan Qinghuan that he could bring Ying back safely; after saying that, the group prepared to set out, as it was already pitch black outside.

Traveling at night through the Primeval Forest is Rongdi and Yao's specialty.

They are Beastmen; they can see at night.

Soon, this massive group prepared to depart; at the tribe entrance, everyone watched them expectantly, hoping they would quickly retrieve Ying.

In this ice‑and‑snow landscape, nothing must go wrong!

When one side is in trouble, all sides lend aid; based on what Youchao Xuan said, Rongdi and Yao formulated a plan to find Ying. Ying went south to chase those giants and the Great Beast.

The south is where the elder ancestor resides.

Just as they were about to set out for Ying, a sudden roar of a ferocious beast echoed through the mountains; hearing it, Rongdi and Yao perked up their ears.

It was the sound of a Giant Beast.

Yao's ears twitched adorably; after listening, he murmured, "Prepare more bow and arrow; I know where they are."

As soon as he said that, Nan Qinghuan grew very worried; she also wanted to go see, believing the sound came from nearby.

"I'll go too; I want to see what kind of monster this is."

"Qinghuan, you can't—you've got a big belly, you can't…"

"Mother, let me go; maybe I can help."

"But…"

"Fine, Qinghuan, come with us—let's go."

That night, Rongdi and Yao moved smoothly, but Nan Qinghuan struggled to walk; despite that, she still didn't hold the group back.

Soon they arrived at a spot within the forest and stopped.

Rongdi looked very alert and said, "Stay still; that Great Beast is nearby."

All along the way, Nan Qinghuan had seen huge footprints in the snow—signs of a Giant Beast she had never seen before—and she had no idea what had become of Ying; the more she thought, the more frightened she grew, fearing something had happened to Ying.

She covered her protruding belly, whispering to the baby, "May dad be protected, okay? *whimper*"

"Ahead."

The group continued forward, and unexpectedly they saw… a massive monster clutching Ying, while several Giants stood there laughing heartily.

"They ate him, they ate him!"

Ying was held in the monster's grasp, unable to move at all!

Rongdi and Yao, seeing this scene, dared not disturb it and instead let them separate; Nan Qinghuan was extremely anxious, but she knew she had to stay calm!

*Whimper*…

Suddenly, Ying's great sword sliced off one of the monster's fingers; instantly the creature roared and flung him down. As Ying was about to fall to the ground, Rongdi sprang up in an instant and caught him.

"Ying, be careful."

"Someone's coming."

"Swish swish swish…"

In an instant, countless Long Arrows surged toward those few Giants, and the Giants, believing that all of Ying's people were dead and that there was no defense, could only be attacked from front and back.

Soon, they were all shot dead by the Long Arrows.

Thud thud thud, they fell to the ground, their bodies riddled with Long Arrows, blood gushing.

Ying won, Ying won
