Chapter 218: The Earth Beast God Angers

Boom—!

A bolt of lightning slashed through the dark clouds, followed by a booming thunderclap; the elite troops of Leitingcheng fared no better, being battered by the downpour.

The giant eagle spread its wings and let out a low hum as it flew, as if cursing the sudden storm, and obeyed the lord's order to find a place to rest.

Minutes later, Cangqiong stood inside a rocky cavern, his golden eyes narrowed dangerously in the darkness, while a curtain of rain dripped down from the cave like a small waterfall.

The medicinal plants must be secured in advance!

He led a handful of elite warriors, rushing at full speed; if they fell into Cha Lan's hands, all his scheming would be for naught.

Cangqiong looked up at the layers of black rain, his golden eyes showing a trace of helpless irritation.

At the same moment, in another desert.

During the downpour, the lord Yin Xuan of the Xing Yuan Continent ordered his troops to set up camp and rest as soon as the rain began.

At this moment, the hills of the desert were covered with countless dark Exotic Beast Skin tents stretching as far as the eye could see; the leader's tent was pitched at the highest point, the largest of the entire army.

Yin Xuan sat on a blanket‑covered chair, cradling a cup of strong brew, his face showing displeasure, yet he was powerless against the Heavenly Beast God.

Walking in the rain, even a robust male beast will fall ill after prolonged exposure; Beastfolk have no means to resist the natural power of the Sky God.

Hou Meng sat inside the lord's camp tent, secretly delighted; the Agave beer he seized, matching the strong brew, was news he brought back for the lord, and he claimed credit for it.

After returning this time, he could be heavily favored by the lord, gaining both power and females.

The beautiful dream that ten thousand people shared was about to become his reality, making Hou Meng unable to hide his smile; even the rain outside no longer seemed so annoying.

The desert, which hadn't seen heavy rain in centuries, was drenched as soon as the lord of the Xing Yuan Continent arrived with his army; rain is a vital source that countless lives cannot lack.

It must be the Heavenly Beast God celebrating.

Inside Kuangsha City.

The residents, hearing news that another lord's army was marching toward them, were terrified to the point of their stomachs feeling like they might burst; everyone slammed their doors shut, leaving the streets eerily empty.

At that moment, shouts from outside rang out, breaking the deathly silence of Kuangsha City:

"It's raining! It's raining! Thank the Heavenly Beast God for the blessing!"

"Ahhh—rain! —coming!!"

At first, the Beastfolk of Kuangsha City who heard the outside howls, some muttered, "Crazy, someone's gone mad in the city, they actually imagined it raining."

Soon after, the Beastfolk couldn't help but fling open their doors, staring in stunned amazement.

The torrential rain, never seen before, poured down, washing away the street's yellow sand and revealing a smooth stone‑slate surface.

He had never seen such a downpour in his life; it was the first time the rain sounded louder than drums, and he stood dumbfounded, unsure what to do.

As the patter grew louder, the Beastfolk of Kuangsha City opened their doors one by one, and upon seeing the rain, their joy became overwhelming.

"Water??? A sip sells for thirty Beast Coins?"

"Heavenly Beast God! I can't believe my eyes, I'm going crazy…"

"Quick, quick, quick! Bring out every container that can hold water to catch the rain! Even the bowls for meals, bring them out!"

"I don't even know what's happening; it might stop any moment, so hurry and collect water."

The elated residents surged onto the streets, heads tilted upward toward the sky; some even opened their mouths foolishly to catch the rain, while many fetched jars of all sizes from their homes and placed them at their doors to collect water.

The atmosphere was even more festive than the Beast God Festival, leaving the Beastfolk of Kuangsha City no time to worry about incoming attacks; they celebrated together, thrilled by the rare "sweet rain" bestowed by the Heavenly Beast God.

They had expected the downpour to cease soon, but it kept pouring without end.

Late night.

The residents of Kuangsha City were still merrily reveling in the rain when suddenly they felt a dizzying, world‑spinning vertigo, as if the very earth were trembling.

A seasoned Beastfolk, terrified, knelt on the ground, trembling: "The Earth Beast God has turned over!! It's over, we'll all be buried…"

Countless Beastfolk knelt, shivering and clutching themselves, fear overwhelming each mind; they could think of nothing else as disaster loomed.

This is the Earth Beast God's wrath!

A few seconds later, their terror sparked a survival instinct; some Beastfolk scrambled up, knocking over those on the ground, and fled forward.

The streets of Kuangsha City descended into chaos; Hua Zheng, left in charge, immediately dispatched the city guard to maintain order and sent teams to investigate the area of intense ground movement.

A deep worry flickered in his eyes: "Alas… I wonder how the master and Lord Lin are faring."

…

After being carried down from the ceremony by Mo Lie, Lin Manzhi took a hot shower, yet still felt drowsy and fell asleep early upon returning.

Her mobile castle is a three‑story flat‑topped structure: a terrace on top, a living quarters on the second floor, and a reception hall on the ground floor for visitors.

At that moment, Lin Manzhi jolted awake from the trembling fear, opened her eyes, and met Mo Lie's caring blue gaze.

Mo Lie sat on a soft, blanket‑covered couch, wearing a comfortable white robe with a loosely tied belt; the open front revealed a broad swath of pale chest.

She was being held in his arms, his long, strong hand resting on her waist, his deep voice softened: "Awake? Anything hurting?"

Lin Manzhi stared at Mo Lie's composed expression and was taken aback.

Was there an earthquake?

The ground is shaking now! It must be an earthquake!

But why is Mo Lie so calm?? Shouldn't he be rushing to an open area?

She inhaled deeply, slipped out of Mo Lie's embrace, and looked toward the window draped with linen curtains; the closed window revealed nothing, and she asked, "What's outside? Did we encounter enemies?"

"Not enemies," Mo Lie said, supporting her waist to keep her from falling, "The rain is too heavy; we'll set up camp and rest this afternoon."

Lin Manzhi frowned in alarm, asking again, "Then what's outside?"

Mo Lie looked at Little Female's pale complexion, gently patting her back: "Hmm… you're a bit scared of the ground's unrest? Don't worry, the Earth Beast God's movement won't reach us here."

Lin Manzhi's eyes widened in disbelief: "The Earth Beast God is moving?? How can you know where it's moving?!"

Isn't it just an earthquake?

This… this… it's been shaking here for so long; the quake must be extremely severe!
