235: Chapter 235 It's like I got into a fight with someone.

Bai Wanwan slowly opened her eyes, her eyelashes trembling and casting faint shadows on her pale face.

"Mmm, I'm fine."

She weakly curved the corner of her mouth toward Yan Lie, that smile flickering like a candle flame in the morning light.

Zhu Xiu immediately grasped her icy hand, his rough fingertips gently stroking the inside of her wrist, his eyes glowing red with worry.

"Is there anywhere else that feels uncomfortable?"

It definitely felt uncomfortable.

Bai Wanwan felt as if her body had been crushed and then reassembled; every inch of her bones ached faintly.

During the time she was unconscious, she felt like she had fought a massive army in a dream, even her breath carried the weight of exhaustion.

"Just a little tired."

She managed a smile, but her voice was as light as a feather, "I'll feel better after resting for a bit."

After speaking, she closed her eyelids.

Deep within her consciousness, she called out to the System: "peanut, check if all the toxins in my body have been cleared?"

"Ding—Scan complete."

The System's mechanical voice carried a rare hint of cheerfulness, "Host can rest assured, all toxins have been eliminated."

"Then why..." She also breathed a sigh of relief, "do I feel like I was trampled by a herd of beasts?"

"That is a normal reaction."

The System explained, "When Youlan Grass clears the toxins, it's equivalent to activating your entire body's immune system to fight the poison. To put it simply, it's like every one of your cells just went through a life-and-death battle."

Bai Wanwan let out a breath: "How long will it take to recover?"

"Resting for three to four days should allow for a complete recovery."

She opened her eyes again and saw several intense gazes fixed upon her.

She curved the corner of her mouth and showed a reassuring smile to the Beast Husbands gathered around her: "Don't worry, I'm fine now, just still a bit weak."

Saying that, she tried to prop herself up with her elbow, but fell back the next second...

A pair of strong arms slipped under her waist, gently lifting and supporting her steadily against his chest.

She simply leaned languidly against him.

"How is the situation outside? Can we go back now?"

Yan Lie eagerly leaned closer, grinning widely, his clear face radiating warmth as bright as the sun, "Jin Yi just scouted ahead, the beast tide has retreated! We can return anytime."

"That's wonderful, then should we go back now?"

Bai Wanwan also didn't want to be trapped in these dark caves anymore; she just wanted to return to her cozy nest and sleep soundly while cuddling her Cubs.

Jin Yi looked at her fragile and helpless appearance, "If you aren't feeling well, we can wait here for a few days until you recover before leaving."

"No need," Bai Wanwan shook her head directly, "We'll go back now."

The beast tide had already receded. If they didn't leave now and waited a few more days, what if the beast tide rolled back in?

She didn't know how many lives she had to withstand such punishment.

Xin Feng's warm palm touched her forehead, "Don't force yourself, we can wait a bit longer before heading back."

"Don't be nervous, I'm just fatigued."

Bai Wanwan insisted on her opinion, "Now that the beast tide has retreated, it's the best time to go back. With you all protecting me, I don't have to walk myself. What if we delay and the beast tide surges back?"

They all understood this was the best time to return, they were just concerned about her physical condition.

The few Males hesitated for a moment, exchanged glances, and finally reached a consensus.

Wan Wan hadn't been eating or sleeping well outside; it wasn't suitable for recovering her body anyway.

Only by returning to the Tribe, without constant fear and hiding, could she truly rest.

Deciding quickly, the Males quickly made arrangements: Xin Feng would carry Bai Wanwan, Zhu Xiu would clear the path ahead, and Jin Yi and Yan Lie would guard the flanks.

Emerging from the dark underground cave, Bai Wanwan was still slightly unaccustomed to the bright light outside.

She squinted for a while before slowly opening her eyes.

The Males moved quickly, and there were almost no wild beasts in the vicinity.

In the distance, mountains rolled, and birds chirped, as if the previous beast tide had just been a nightmare.

They only encountered two small groups of wild beasts by the foot of the mountain, which Zhu Xiu dealt with completely with just one move.

The group passed through the dense jungle and finally arrived on the wide plain.

The wild beasts roaming the plain immediately noticed the appearance of Bai Wanwan and the others. They swarmed toward them like hungry wolves catching the scent of blood.

Dozens of scattered wild beasts gathered together and launched an attack on Zhu Xiu.

If this were before, Bai Wanwan would already be nervously clutching her hands.

But now, having witnessed the beast tide, seeing the three Males fighting dozens of wild beasts, her expression didn't even waver.

Zhu Xiu's snake tail swept out like a steel whip, Yan Lie's sharp claws drew sprays of blood, and Jin Yi's lion's roar made the beasts hesitate and mill about...

In just three minutes, the wild beasts turned into corpses scattered on the ground.

"Continue moving forward."

The King Cobra rotated its massive head. It should have been the appearance of a terrifying ferocious beast, but now, in Bai Wanwan's eyes, it wasn't frightening at all.

Just as the wall of the Golden Lion Tribe was visible in the distance, the sky suddenly darkened.

Bai Wanwan looked up, her pupils contracting.

A swarm of Eagle Beasts, blotting out the sky like dark clouds pressing down, let out piercing screeches that tore through the sky.

"Quick, rush through!" Zhu Xiu roared, his huge Beast Form rapidly clearing the way in front.

Looking at such a massive swarm of Eagle Beasts, the hearts of the few Males sank heavily.

Eagle Beasts were the nightmare of all Land Beastmen; even for a powerful Male like Zhu Xiu, the Eagle Beasts were still his natural enemy.

If they stopped and were surrounded by Eagle Beasts, it would be almost impossible for them to escape unscathed.

The Males protected Bai Wanwan, dashing across the plain like lightning.

Whenever an Eagle Beast swooped down to bite, they quickly changed direction.

Because they dodged and weaved left and right, many of the Eagle Beasts' attacks missed.

The Eagle Beasts flapped their wings in annoyance, emitting sharp cries.

Circling, circling, they suddenly dove down again.

"Not good, it seems they are all charging toward Wan Wan." Zhu Xiu keenly sensed their target and immediately warned the Males, "Protect Wan Wan well."

As his voice fell, countless Eagle Beasts dove down rapidly like dumplings falling into boiling water.

Yan Lie roared and leaped up, biting down on the wing of an Eagle Beast.

Jin Yi opened his Beast Mouth and directly snapped the neck of an Eagle Beast.

Bai Wanwan watched the dense swarm of Eagle Beasts attacking them, blocking out the sky, and took a deep breath, tightly gripping Xin Feng's fur.

Xin Feng sensed her tension and spoke soothingly, "Wan Wan, it's alright. If you are scared, lean down and hold onto me."

"Okay,"

Bai Wanwan tightly hugged the Silver Wolf and turned to look at the Golden Lion Tribe.

The city wall was close at hand, yet as far away as the horizon.

Bai Wanwan gritted her teeth; they would definitely get through this and safely reach the Tribe.

When she retracted her gaze, she happened to see three Eagle Beasts rushing down toward Jin Yi's head.

"Jin Yi, watch out above!"

Her warning was a step too late.

Pfft...

A spray of blood splattered onto Bai Wanwan's face.
