Good pregnancy in the animal world: the soft and tender rabbit is spoiled by the big guys

Chapter 624 Dream Control?

The little octopus saw a figure standing under the twisted, withered tree.

A long, red robe, thick as congealed blood, covered his slender figure. The hem of the robe fluttered slightly in the still air, as if it were immersed in unseen water.

The moment it saw the high priest, it became incredibly docile.

Its swollen body returned to its original shape, and it asked in confusion, "High Priest, what are you doing here?"

In the homeland of the Beast God, the High Priest has always wanted to capture the little octopus and take it back. Even though it's hiding in the rabbit's homeland, how could it still see him?!

Hearing the little octopus's words, Yu Zhizhi looked down at it: "What high priest?"

There was no one in Yu Zhizhi's line of sight.

An abandoned park, a dried-up lake reeking of decay. She thought of the human figures she had seen earlier; had the others who had gotten separated also witnessed something strange?

The little octopus seemed to be talking to itself: "I know, I will go back, but not now!"

"High Priest, don't rush me!"

The more Yu Zhizhi listened, the more uneasy she felt.

Unlike the abandoned fireworks factory last time, this time my teammates were all around me, and the demon seed and the spirit hunter were both visible and tangible.

"I'm not going back!" it growled at the deserted, withered forest, its voice sharper than Yu Zhizhi had ever heard before. "Stop talking nonsense! Stop this pointless charade!"

She was stunned.

The little octopus's cries grew increasingly intense, as if it were arguing with some unseen entity.

"You think you can force me to go back like this? With this kind of low-level mental pollution?"

It waved its tentacles, slapped the ground, and kicked up a cloud of dust!
Yu Zhizhi had never seen it like this before—angry, anxious, even…fearful?
"Wake up? Wake up!" She couldn't help but squat down and try to pick up the little guy who had suddenly lost control.

It was icy cold to the touch, much colder than she remembered. The instant her fingertips touched that smooth skin—

The world has turned upside down!
Yu Zhizhi remained in a squatting position, holding the little octopus in her arms, but the abandoned park in front of her had been transformed into the courtyard of some beast world planet!

The white marble pillars soar into the clouds, carved with mythical beast totems never seen before.

In the distance, suspended mountain peaks are connected by rainbow-like bridges, and strange birds with long tails soar across the sky. Is this... the homeland of the Beast God?
Yu Zhizhi's gaze was drawn to the figure in the center of the courtyard.

The man wore a fiery red robe, the hem embroidered with a totem of the sun and moon shining together. His long hair was as flowing as the night, and a pair of curved black horns on his head symbolized supreme authority. He had his back to her, but even just his back view made Yu Zhizhi's blood almost freeze.

This is the High Priest. The ruler of the homeland of the Beast God, a being who, according to legend, can directly communicate with the gods.

"Have you had enough fun? —?" The high priest's voice was calm as still water, yet it sent tremors through the entire dream garden.

Yu Zhizhi always felt that he seemed to be calling out the name of the little octopus.

But she couldn't hear it.

The little octopus broke free from Yu Zhizhi's arms and angrily cried out, "This isn't a game! I'm not going back!"

The high priest slowly turned around.

Yu Zhizhi held her breath. It was a face so perfect it seemed unreal, every line as if sculpted with the utmost precision. But his eyes, those pure gold eyes without pupils, held no warmth, only eternal coldness.

Then, those eyes looked at her.

“It’s you,” the high priest said, a flicker of emotion finally appearing in his voice—a raw, undisguised disgust—“that’s why he’s been unwilling to return.” “It has nothing to do with her!” The little octopus stepped forward, blocking Yu Zhizhi’s path. “I chose to stay!”

"Choice?" The high priest gently raised his hand, and the illusion in the courtyard began to peel away, the suspended mountain collapsing. "Your so-called 'choice' is based on her as the 'anchor.' Without this rabbit-woman providing coordinates, your consciousness should have long since dissipated in the spacetime turbulence."

The little octopus was enveloped in a fiery red aura, a sign of its power going berserk: "I said—it has nothing to do with her!"

“Then prove it to me.” The high priest took a step forward, and the entire dream trembled. “Sever the connection with her. Now. Immediately.”

"no way!"

The argument escalated into a fight in an instant!

The little octopus waved its tentacles, and a burst of crimson light exploded, transforming into countless tentacle-like phantoms that pierced towards the high priest!

The high priest didn't even move; he merely raised a finger. The tentacles solidified and shattered three feet away from him, transforming into countless specks of light!

"Are you still using the tricks I taught you to fight me?" The high priest's voice finally revealed a hint of disappointment. "—You've been away from home for too long, so long that you've forgotten who you are."

He waved gently.

Yu Zhizhi felt a tightness in her chest, as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart!
No, not just the heart!
And the spiritual energy within her! It was all suppressed and imprisoned by the High Priest!
"Stop!" the little octopus roared, transforming into a fiery red lightning bolt as it lunged at the high priest.

The real battle begins!

Yu Zhizhi knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

She discovered that she was completely unable to move not because she was imprisoned by external forces, but because the rules of the dream itself were rejecting her as a "foreign object"!
She could only watch helplessly as the little octopus attacked again and again, only to be easily repelled each time.

Fiery red and silvery white light collided and exploded in the courtyard.

The little octopus's wounds multiplied, and red blood dripped onto the white marble floor tiles, turning into burning flames. The high priest, however, remained spotless, his breathing unchanged.

The difference is too big...!
This wasn't a fight; it was a one-sided...teaching. Or rather, punishment!
"Admit defeat—" The high priest hovered in mid-air, his robes billowing even without wind. "This farce should end. You should go home."

The little octopus lay in a pool of blood. It raised its head, its body covered in blood, but the stubborn flame burning in its eyes was brighter than ever before.

“I would rather die here,” it said, word by word, “than go back to be your puppet.”

The high priest remained silent.

After a long while, he slowly raised his hands: "Then... as you wish."

Pure golden light surged from his palm; it was not a warm light, but a cold, annihilating law.

Where the light passed, the dream began to crumble.

It wasn't broken, but completely "deleted," with even the traces of its existence erased.

The little octopus turned around and took one last look at Yu Zhizhi.

That look in his eyes was complex: apology, resolve, and a hint of... relief?
Then it turned around and rushed towards the golden light.

"No, don't go!" Yu Zhizhi's voice trembled as she rushed out and tackled the little octopus to the ground.

She suddenly put her thumb in her mouth and bit it! Blood instantly flowed into her throat, and she felt the pain. At the same time, her spiritual energy was slowly being drawn back...

Summon! Summon!
Deep within Yu Zhizhi's mind, a frantic clamor was screaming: anyone could come, she had to summon them immediately!
Perhaps sensing Yu Zhizhi's intense desire, the speed at which she absorbed spiritual energy within her body increased!

　See you tomorrow~
