Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Let’s Return to Shen Yue First

The Devouring God Flower feeds on spiritual power.

So, upon landing, it sensed the spiritual power of the men permeating the air.

In the next moment, its roots and stem shot out, and a flower bud appeared in less than a breath.

To the astonishment of the men, the bud slowly turned red, then began to bloom from its outermost layer.

Seeing this, the man in black finally reacted:

"Withdraw your spiritual power! Cover it with the black cloth!"

But it was too late.

The Devouring God Flower had already bloomed.

Its delicate stamen, which eerily resembled a human face, was already contorted into a deathly smile.

Huang Ziyue’s pupils contracted.

By the time he reached for the black cloth, the fragrance had already wafted into their nostrils.

At that exact moment.

Bai Chaosi lunged forward and, at the last second, managed to cover the Devouring God Flower with the black cloth.

But it was clearly too late.

Although this stopped the Devouring God Flower from growing, its fragrance had already spread, and the three men’s bodies slowly went limp.

Their spiritual power was being devoured, bit by bit.

The three men resisted with all their might, only to find that the more they used their spiritual power, the more tyrannical the Devouring God Flower’s power became.

It forced their minds blank, stripping them of their Divine Will...

Just as their consciousness was about to fade completely into darkness...

The vision of Shen Yue’s vibrant, beautiful smile appeared before each of them.

’We were useless.’

’We can’t go back to her now.’

’We failed to stop the Devouring God Flower from appearing in the world.’

The reluctance and pain that swelled in their hearts made them terrified...

’What will happen to the Beast World Continent?’

’What will happen to our children, and to Shen Yue?’

As their consciousness faded completely into chaos, their only thought was of whether Shen Yue would one day forget them...

’Will we never see her again?’

The great hall slowly collapsed. Because of his powerful Spiritual Core, the man in black managed to drag himself to the stone door.

’No matter,’ he thought. ’As long as I can open this door and escape, the Devouring God Flower’s fragrance will drift out with me. That counts as bringing it out into the world.’

’Then, wherever its fragrance reaches, all life will perish.’

And so, he stared at the two dark spots before him.

Without hesitation, he pressed one.

He thought he was about to escape, but the stone door remained motionless.

Frustrated, he pressed the other one.

But still, there was no response.

He was stunned.

’What’s happening?’

Just then, the entire mountain began to fracture and split apart.

A deafening roar tore through the heavens, piercing his ears.

The sheer force of the sound knocked him to the ground, leaving him paralyzed.

In the next moment, the great hall before him completely gave way under the force of the roar, and countless giant statues and boulders came crashing down.

Powerless to resist, he was completely buried beneath the ruins of the great hall.

Meanwhile, Huang Ziyue and the other two had no idea how long they had been unconscious.

They had thought they would become fertilizer for the Devouring God Flower, never to wake again.

But then, the sound of a bell reached their ears.

The clear, lingering chime seemed to carry a mysterious power, breaking through the darkness in their minds like the first light of dawn.

The sound awakened their Divine Will and repelled the evil floral seed that had invaded their Spiritual Cores.

The three men opened their eyes at almost the exact same time.

They exchanged glances, astonished to find they were still alive.

As he took in his surroundings, Gu Fangqi rubbed his head.

"How did we wake up? Where are we?"

Bai Chaosi sat up, surveying the surrounding ruins, which were piled high with rubble and collapsed walls.

"The great hall must have collapsed. We’re buried under the ruins."

Huang Ziyue glanced over and frowned at the sight of the scattered Devouring God Flower nearby.

Gu Fangqi saw it too, and said in astonishment,

"What happened to the flower? Is it dead?"

Bai Chaosi looked over and was also taken aback.

The Devouring God Flowers had actually withered and died.

They had clearly seen the Devouring God Flower grow, bloom, and devour their spiritual power with their own eyes.

Logically, this entire place should be overgrown with Devouring God Flowers by now.

The three of them should be dead, turned into fertilizer for the flowers.

And yet, not only were they awake and alive, but the Devouring God Flower itself had withered and died?

What in the world was going on?

They had never heard of any power that could make a Devouring God Flower wither and die, let alone one that could revive a person whose spiritual power it had devoured...

After getting to their feet, they searched all around but found no trace of the man in black.

Gu Fangqi asked,

"You don’t think he managed to escape, do you?"

Bai Chaosi said, "It looks like the entire mountain collapsed. We’re at the bottom of a chasm thousands of feet deep. Getting out is going to be difficult."

"You mean he didn’t get out either?"

Bai Chaosi replied, "The Devouring God Flower is destroyed. Whether he escaped or not doesn’t matter anymore. What matters now is finding a way out of here."

"Something must have escaped from underground. Let’s focus on getting back to Shen Yue’s side first."

They still didn’t know what things were like on the surface.

How things were back at the bamboo house.

’After that thing escaped... who knows what kind of destruction it might cause. Will Shen Yue be alright?’

When Mu Silin arrived at the cliffs, he saw the collapsed mountainside. The entire mountain pass was buried beneath the wasteland.

Shattered trees and giant boulders were everywhere.

There were also tracks left by a colossal beast emerging from the ground. He frowned. ’It seems Moo Moo really did come from this underground abyss.’

’But where did Huang Ziyue and the other two go?’

’Don’t tell me they were buried under all this?’

He immediately released his spiritual power, searching for the trio’s aura.

Just then, subordinates of Bai Chaosi and Huang Ziyue crawled out from different sections of the wreckage.

Both looked seriously injured and were covered in dust and grime.

Mu Silin walked over. "Where are they?"

The two men clutched their chests.

"They’re still down there."

"They went in last night and never came out. Then... that monster burst out from underground, and the entire mountain collapsed on top of them!"

"We’ve been searching for four hours. The area below is completely buried in rubble."

Just then, Huang Ziyue’s subordinate looked toward the bamboo house.

"The monster headed toward the bamboo house. We were knocked unconscious by its power. When we came to, it was gone. Did something happen over there?"

The Little Young Lord is there.

’That’s the sole heir of our Flood Dragon Clan!’

’Absolutely nothing can happen to him.’

Bai Chaosi’s subordinate also looked at Mu Silin with concern.

That monster was terrifying. The moment it emerged from beneath the mountain, the mere sight of half its body was enough to scare them witless.

The power it radiated was absolutely horrifying.

Mu Silin looked at their pale faces and recalled Moo Moo’s appearance. ’They must have been injured by Moo Moo’s power,’ he surmised.

He shook his head. "The bamboo house is fine. First, let’s find your masters!"

With that, Mu Silin released his spiritual power and began probing through the cracks in the rubble.

But after searching repeatedly for a full hour, he found no trace of the trio.

Bai Chaosi’s subordinate said, "It’s a bottomless chasm down there, and now the collapsed mountain has buried it even deeper. We’ve already tried—it’s impossible to probe what’s below."

Mu Silin decided to resort to the most primitive method: clearing all the rubble away piece by piece.

No matter what, he had promised Shen Yue he would bring them back.

So, like manual excavators, the three of them began blasting away the piled-up rubble bit by bit with their spiritual power.

Until...

"MOO~"

The sound of a cow mooing came from the bushes behind them.

Standing on the ruins, all three of them turned to look.

There was Shen Yue, riding out on a cow.
