Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 196 The Beast That Delivered Its Cubs

Flames swept in, instantly igniting half of the dense forest and spreading infinitely into the distance, while the roars of the giant beast grew increasingly furious.

Huo Yanting and his lackeys didn't dare to stop; they just desperately fled into the distance until they completely disappeared from sight.

Miao Jia's desperately maintained barrier couldn't withstand the raging flames. In just a few breaths, a crack appeared near her ear and then shattered. Despair filled her eyes as the surrounding flames surged again, threatening to engulf her completely.

Suddenly a beam of white light flew over, enveloping her completely and instantly isolating her from the flames. Even the scorching heat disappeared. A familiar old man appeared in front of her, extinguishing the flames with a wave of his hand.

“Juanshan…Captain?” Miao Jia was stunned for a moment, seemingly still in shock from escaping death. The next moment, she saw the giant beast opposite her open its mouth and pounce again.

"Watch out for that monster!" she exclaimed in alarm.

But then another figure landed, and with a gentle lift of his hand, he placed it on the giant beast's head. The beast immediately seemed to encounter some immense resistance and could not advance any further. It could only wave its paws and scratch the ground with its four claws, raising a cloud of dust.

"Miss Chu... Miss Chu!" Miao Jia stared in disbelief at the scene before her, almost unable to believe her eyes. This was an eighth-tier demonic beast, and she had subdued it with just one hand?!
The newcomer was Qiu Ci, who was a step behind. She glanced at the giant beast in front of her. The Bone-Piercing Beast was large, but its appearance was somewhat similar to a tortoise, so it didn't pose much of a threat to her. Seeing that it had been scratching at her with its limbs for a long time without managing to hurt her in the slightest, it was roaring angrily, its eyes glaring red.

"Juanshan, help her heal her injuries. Leave this monster to me!" Qiu Ci said in a deep voice.

"Understood!" Juanshan nodded, waved his hand, and the barrier that had been covering Miao Jia immediately dispersed into points of light that converged on her wounds and... her sea of ​​consciousness.

"Calm down!" Qiu Ci was still pressing down on the Bone-Piercing Beast, trying to awaken its rationality. The intelligence of an eighth-tier demon beast was already quite high and could be manipulated.

The Bone-Piercing Beast ignored it and continued to roar angrily. Although you couldn't understand its language, you could tell that it was cursing filthyly, and its eyes were getting redder and redder.

Qiu Ci sighed. Having no other choice, he poked the system and said, "Damn system, come out and translate what it's saying?"

[Yes, Master. Translation program is starting.]

[Master, it's saying: Awoooooo...]

Autumn Farewell: "..."

Juanshan: "..."

"You call this translation?! Is this some kind of animal translation?"
[But master, what it really said was: "Awoooooo..."] The dog system looked completely innocent, then added after a moment's thought, [It seems to be in a lot of pain from its injury, that's why it's howling so pitifully.]

"If you're injured, you're injured. Why are you translating it as 'Awwwww'?" Qiu Ci was speechless.

[But it was saying "Awoooooo!"] The dog system looked aggrieved. You only asked me to translate, not to guess its meaning.

"..."

Qiu Ci was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot. He still held down the Bone-Piercing Beast with one hand and said in a deep voice, "Listen to me and calm down. You are injured. I can help you heal."

"Awooo~~~?" The Bone-Piercing Beast was suddenly stunned.

【Master, it's asking you: Really?】 "Really!" Qiu Ci nodded seriously. "I promise to heal your injuries, as long as you behave."

"Awoo..." The Bone-Piercing Beast cried out again.

[Master, it says: You have to keep your word, or it will keep howling at you until you're exhausted.]

"..." Do all you monsters threaten people like this?
The next moment, the giant beast in front of them quieted down, and its mountain-sized body began to shrink visibly. In the blink of an eye, it became a ball about two feet long.

Qiu Ci then saw clearly that its back was full of holes, some of which were so deep that you could see the flesh inside. The key point was that there was a very obvious magical aura left on these holes.

"What exactly did you do to it?" Qiu Ci couldn't help but turn around and look at Miao Jia behind her.

Miao Jia finally realized why the Bone-Piercing Beast had suddenly gone berserk and attacked them. Her face paled before she explained in a low voice, "I...we saw that the hillside was covered with rare, high-grade spiritual fruits, so we picked them all. Later, Huo Yanting suggested that we transplant the fruit trees back as well, so..."

"..." Good heavens, I thought they were just going to pick some fruit and spiritual plants, but it turns out they wanted to dig up the trees along with them.

These trees grew thanks to the Bone-Piercing Beast, and their roots had already penetrated its flesh. Digging them out would naturally hurt the Bone-Piercing Beast. The key point is that they might as well dig out one or two trees, but looking at the wounds all over the Bone-Piercing Beast's back, they wanted to uproot them all.

Qiu Ci and Juan Shan's faces darkened. Although they knew Huo Yanting was not a good person, they did not expect him to be so greedy.

"Awoo~~~woo~~~" The Bone-Piercing Beast howled again, reaching out its paw to tug at her trouser leg. This time, without needing the system's translation, she knew it was urging her to heal her injuries.

"Okay, don't move, I'll heal you right away." Qiu Ci raised her hand and made a hand seal, then stopped after thinking for a moment. She turned around and took out a bottle from her storage bag. As soon as she opened it, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out.

She remembered that this was a gift from the dean of Hehuan Academy when she first won the Heavenly Ranking. The dean took her around to visit relatives and friends, saying that it had a miraculous effect on healing the injuries of demon beasts.

Qiu Ci poured the liquid directly onto the wound of the Bone-Piercing Beast. Instantly, a few drops of pale green liquid flowed out. As soon as it touched the wound on the back of the Bone-Piercing Beast, the wound began to heal visibly. In less than three breaths, the wound completely disappeared.

She immediately poured a drop on each wound, and sure enough, in less than a quarter of an hour, not only were all the wounds healed, but the aura on the Bone-Piercing Beast also became more solid, and even the shrunken fruit tree on its back seemed to have grown thicker.

"Awooo." The Bone-Piercing Beast let out a confused cry, shook its back, stretched its limbs, and crawled back and forth on the ground twice, as if to confirm whether its injuries had fully healed. After a while, it slowly crawled towards her, and then suddenly stood up, using only its two hind legs to touch the ground, while its short front legs were pawing at its chest.

Just as she was getting curious, it suddenly pulled off a layer of scales on its belly, bent down and took a small turtle out of its pouch, placed it in front of her, and then turned and left.

what's the situation?
Qiu Ci was completely bewildered. Just as she was about to refuse, she saw that the Bone-Piercing Beast had already returned to its original position, then lay down on the ground, its body instantly returning to its previous size of a small mountain, and a faint breathing sound could be heard.

Falling asleep now?
Autumn Farewell: "..."

Juanshan: "..."

Miao Jia: "..."

This is... giving her his own child as a thank-you gift?

Is this how you monsters express your gratitude to humans?
