colored birds hopped among the branches. If you could ignore their menacing appearances, this dense forest looked much like any ordinary forest.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few of the females, who were entering the dense forest for the first time, wore worried expressions but did not pause in their actions. They stopped on a branch of a tall camphor tree, and Aming turned to ask one of the females beside him, \u201cAre we going in the right direction?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The female wrinkled his nose. His sense of smell was the best among the group. He took out a fabric pouch from his clothing, sniffed it, and then sniffed the air. Nodding, he said, \u201cYes, the scent is coming from this direction.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every female had one of these fabric pouches. Chen Qi had accidentally created them while handling various dried flowers. He discovered that, although the scent was not strong, it could linger in the air for a long time. Given the beastmen&#8217;s keen sense of smell, Chen Qi decided to make a scent pouch. This way, if someone got lost, they could puncture the pouch, and the scent powder inside would serve as an excellent trail marker, helping their companions find them. To perfect the scent, Chen Qi had even conducted several tests with Aze before finalizing the current formula.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As soon as Azhang had grabbed onto the pterosaur&#8217;s tail, he\u2019d punctured the scent pouch he had kept at his waist. Aming and the others followed the trail of the scent, but since the pterosaur was flying at such a high altitude, the scent powder dispersed quickly in the wind, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact location. The group could only move in the general direction of the scent.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After receiving the confirmation, the group of beastmen set off again. Their agile forms swiftly moved through the trees, leaving behind only the sound of rustling leaves before even the shadows disappeared from sight.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azhang led the way for Ashu, clearing a path ahead. In this area, there weren\u2019t many tall trees, and the ground was covered with gray-black gravel. There was no sound of birds or insects, making it difficult to discern their direction. Azhang couldn\u2019t shake the uneasy feeling that something was wrong. It wasn\u2019t a good sign, so he decided to leave the area as quickly as possible.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ashu\u2019s hands were weak due to the injury on his shoulder. When his wound was accidentally scratched by a protruding branch, he winced in pain, sharply inhaling. Azhang turned back with concern, \u201cAre you okay?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ashu, his face pale, shook his head. &#8220;I&#8217;m fine, let&#8217;s keep moving.\u201d.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azhang nodded and cautioned, &#8220;Be careful. It&#8217;s too quiet here; we&#8217;d better not make too much noise.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">En.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unable to determine the exact direction, Azhang could only choose a path based on the sun&#8217;s position and move forward. After leaving the area with short trees, they entered a dense forest where the tall trees blocked out most of the sunlight. Azhang had to periodically climb to the treetops to confirm they were on the right path before continuing.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After walking like this for most of the day, they finally heard the faint sound of running water. Both Azhang and Ashu felt a surge of relief. This forest had very few edible wild fruits, and they were almost out of water. Fortunately, Azhang&#8217;s backpack still held enough food to keep them from starving, but they definitely needed to find a way to replenish their water supply.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The two of them remained cautious. As they neared the source of the water sound, Azhang suddenly pulled Ashu to a stop and signaled him to be quiet. They hid behind a fig tree, and Azhang&#8217;s eyes widened in astonishment as he watched the scene unfolding in the distance, unable to believe what he was seeing.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bd6fbca elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bd6fbca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

The first giant wolf-god, who was still feeding, remained alert at the sound but relaxed again upon recognizing the familiar beast.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cDidn\u2019t expect you to still be alive.\u201d The newly appeared giant wolf-god looked down at the emaciated form of the other and sneered.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ashu was startled by the sudden voice from the giant wolf-god. Despite being a beast, why was it speaking human language?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azhang quickly covered Ashu&#8217;s mouth, gently shaking his head to indicate that he should stay silent. Without waiting for a response from Ashu, Azhang turned his attention back to the giant wolf-gods.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The emaciated giant wolf-god didn\u2019t respond immediately. Instead, it slowly finished devouring the beastman, licking the bloodstains from the corners of its mouth before finally speaking. &#8220;You\u2019re not dead either.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;I warned you not to target the beastmen anymore, but it seems you didn&#8217;t take my words to heart,&#8221; the newly arrived giant wolf-god said, its tone laced with irritation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The frail giant wolf-god ignored the other and turned to leave, but it was suddenly tackled to the ground. The other wolf-god&#8217;s sharp teeth were inches from piercing its throat, and its deep, menacing voice carried a clear threat, as if daring the weaker one to deny it, &#8220;Did you not hear what I said?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The frail giant wolf-god showed no fear. Its calm eyes remained untroubled as it replied, &#8220;You are no longer our king.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;But if I want you dead, you won&#8217;t live to see tomorrow.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The thin giant wolf-god suddenly burst into laughter, as if it had just heard the biggest joke in the world. After a long while, it finally stopped laughing and softly asked, &#8220;Would you really be able to?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The frail giant wolf god spoke each word slowly and deliberately, &#8220;Even if I die, they won&#8217;t spare you. No matter how strong you are, they will drag you back here. They&#8217;ll capture beastmen and bring them to you, extending your life, binding you to the Sanchen River for eternity.&#8221; Then, with a pointed tone, it added, &#8220;Isn&#8217;t that the reason you ran away, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Chen<\/span>*<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This Chen is the same character used as the river name &#8211; Sanchen<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen retracted his claws, and the thin giant-wolf god slowly got up. It glanced with some disgust at the small, dried-up bloodstain on the ground. Seeing the other wolf-god preparing to leave, Chen finally voiced the question that had been lurking in the depths of his mind, &#8220;Was it you who leaked the information?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The frail giant wolf god paused in its steps, turning slightly as it responded, &#8220;What information?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Don&#8217;t play games with me,&#8221; Chen snarled, violently swiping its massive claw across the ground, leaving a deep gash. The bloodstains were quickly buried under the disturbed earth.<\/span><\/p><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The skinny giant wolf-god tilted its head, appearing to ponder for a moment before suddenly seeming to realize something. &#8220;Oh, you mean that foolish tale circulating among the dragons, about how consuming enough beastmen would grant them the same intelligence?&#8221; It asked with a mocking tone.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f208568 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f208568\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

What was going on? The fact that these two giant wolf-gods could speak was already shocking enough, but now there was this strange revelation as well?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now was not the time for them to delve into details. Both quietly regulated their breathing and listened intently to the conversation between the two giant wolf-gods..<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat if I said it? What if I didn\u2019t? What can you do besides threaten me with your words?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf those foolish creatures believe this rumor, do you know what the consequences would be?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe consequences?\u201d The weak giant wolf god chuckled. \u201cAt most, it would be like us\u2014extermination of the entire species.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen&#8217;s gaze darkened. The weak giant wolf god, seemingly unwilling to say more, flicked its tail and turned to leave. As it disappeared into the grass, it suddenly stopped and said, \u201cIf you leave, don\u2019t come back.\u201d Without waiting for Chen&#8217;s response, it vanished from sight.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chen stared fixedly at the direction in which the giant wolf-god had departed. Suddenly, he turned his gaze towards the fig tree where Azhang and Ashu were hiding. \u201cThis isn\u2019t a place for you to be. Follow this river and it will lead you back. Don\u2019t come into the forest again.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azhang was startled, not expecting the giant wolf-god to have noticed them earlier. He stepped out from behind the fig tree, his expression wary. \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Some things you\u2019re not meant to know,&#8221; Chen said. &#8220;You\u2019re no match for the entire forest.&#8221; With that, the towering figure leapt over the small river and sprinted off into the distance.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Uncle Azhang, can all giant wolf-gods speak?&#8221; Ashu was still in shock.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azhang pressed his lips together and remained silent. The giant wolf-gods that ate beastmen, those that could speak, and the rumor that eating beastmen would grant them wisdom akin to that of the beastmen\u2014all these pieces of information exploded in his mind, sending chills down his spine. He wondered if the hyena-drakes from last winter, which knew how to use other beasts to dig tunnels to break in or those hyena-drakes that had laid in ambush, quietly awaiting their prey, had acquired such intelligence because they had eaten beastmen.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it was difficult to gather specific information from the brief exchange between the two giant wolf-gods, Azhang was worried that, in the future, not only hyena-drakes but also other dragon types might become a threat to the beastmen.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seeing Azhang&#8217;s somber expression, Ashu anxiously looked at him and whispered, &#8220;Uncle Azhang, what should we do now?&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67a99261 elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-phone elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67a99261\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Crossing\u00a0 to Live in the Wilderness Plains (CLWP)\u00a0 is translated by Betwixted Translations.

It wasn&#8217;t the time to ponder these matters; they would discuss it with others once they returned to the tribe. If necessary, this information might need to be communicated to all the beastman tribes. Azhang&#8217;s eyes were filled with worry, fearing that the balance between the plains and the forest might be disrupted.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Should we follow the small river as that giant wolf-god said?&#8221; Ashu asked nervously.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Azhang nodded. &#8220;Wandering around here aimlessly isn\u2019t going to help us.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ashu was a bit worried. &#8220;Can we trust what it said? After all\u2026\u201d They had just witnessed one of them eating a beastman.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s fine, it shouldn\u2019t have any ill intentions.\u201d After a pause, he added, \u201cIt once saved me.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said this and then took the lead, stepping out first.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ashu was momentarily stunned but quickly caught up with Azhang\u2019s steps.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the depths of the forest, a gaunt giant wolf-god slowly walked into a small valley. The valley was densely surrounded by robust, muscular hyena-drakes. Upon seeing the giant wolf-god approach, the hyena-drakes voluntarily cleared a path.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In front of a fully grown male hyena-drake, which was twice the size of the other hyena-drakes, lay several lifeless beastmen. The hyena-drake\u2019s sharp claws pierced the beastmen&#8217;s chests, forcibly extracting their red, pulsing hearts. With a graceful motion, the hyena-drake swallowed the hearts in one gulp.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After finishing, the hyena-drake slightly lifted its head. A few of the hyena-drakes around it approached with reverent gazes, dragging the beastmen corpses away. Before long, the bodies were completely devoured.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The giant wolf-god walked over to the alpha hyena-drake, chose a comfortable spot, and slowly lay down, gently closing its eyes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI heard that Chen is back.\u201d The male hyena-drake\u2019s voice was hoarse, speaking slowly as if someone unfamiliar with speaking was learning how to talk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The giant wolf-god did not even open its eyes and replied lightly, &#8220;Since you already know, why ask me?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The alpha hyena-drake licked the blood off its claws, a glint flashing in its eyes. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know what your king tastes like,&#8221; it said slowly, each word deliberate, &#8220;but it must be quite delicious.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Would you really be willing to eat him?&#8221; The giant wolf-god slightly opened its eyes. &#8220;Without him, the Sanchen River might be destroyed.&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The alpha hyena-drake emitted a series of unpleasant snorts and did not speak further.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a89aa6d elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"1a89aa6d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44373b6c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"44373b6c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 style=\"font-style: normal;
