Chapter 462 Waiting for the rabbit
Inside Beast King City, Qiao Xixi and Xi Jing chased after half the city, but just as they were about to reach their target, they suddenly discovered that the coordinates on the map had disappeared.

Qiao Xixi stopped in surprise.

"Little demon, where are the coordinates?"

"Host, the power of the Dark Stone has been concealed by the other party using something."

"Can't find it?"

"Well, there wasn't much energy left in the Dark Stone to begin with. If the other party hides that energy in their beast soul and suppresses it with a more powerful beast soul, I won't be able to detect it."

"How powerful a beast soul would it take to suppress this force?"

"It needs to be at least 9 stars."

Qiao Xixi frowned. After obtaining that dark power, the other party would definitely not stay in Beast King City. He would find a way to leave Beast King City quickly.

Therefore, they continued towards the gates of Beast King City, where they could guard the city without any problem.

Although there are many powerful males in Beast King City, not everyone can reach the level of 9 stars.

"Xi Jing, the other party's location has disappeared. It's very likely that he used his own power to suppress the aura of dark power. Let's go to the gate and keep watch to see if we can find that person."

"Ah."

Qiao Xixi checked the location of Falcon and the others and found that they were still in the palace. She was very worried about their situation and just hoped that nothing bad had happened to them.

There were also traces of clouds...

By the time they reached the gates of Beast King City, the sun was already setting.

Qiao Xixi discovered that the city gate was actually closed.

They approached casually to inquire, only to learn that shortly after they left the palace, winged beastmen from the palace had come to deliver a message saying that something had happened at the palace and that they should close the city gates and that no one was allowed to leave.

The guards closed the gate after receiving orders, and it hasn't been opened since.

Qiao Xixi looked at the towering city gate. On the city wall, there were still winged beast soldiers guarding it. It was impossible for the other side to leave from the sky silently.

It's highly likely that person is still in Beast King City.

She was waiting patiently, but she was also worried about the situation inside the palace. However, if she didn't wait here, she was afraid that the other party would run away.

Although the remaining power of the Dark Stone was not much, she still did not want to leave any hidden dangers.

Finally, after discussing it with Xi Jing, Qiao Xixi found Xue Che.

Josie returned to the stone house where they had stayed when they first arrived in the city, and she took out the bell that Xueche had left her and rang it.

I wonder if Xueche will be able to appear in time as before.

Qiao Xixi put the bell away, while Xi Jing had already gone to the backyard to start a fire and cook.

After they left, the place remained empty, and the door was unlocked. If they couldn't return to Beast King City tonight, they would have no choice but to stay here for the time being.

On the way here, Xi Jing bought some animal meat along the street, enough for them to eat.

"Little demon, how are Father Beast and the others? What's the situation at the palace now?"

She could only see that Falcon and the others were still located in the palace, but she couldn't know the specifics.

"Host, I've detected that their life forms are normal."

That means there is no immediate danger to his life.

Regardless, this is good news.

As Xi Jing brought out the cooked meat soup, there was a knock at the door. After putting the soup down, Xi Jing said, "I'll go open the door."

"It must be Xue Che who has arrived."

Sure enough, as soon as the courtyard gate opened, Xue Che walked in, panting heavily. His eyes lit up the moment he saw Qiao Xixi.

“Josie, female, I never expected to see you again.”

Looking at his slightly immature face, Qiao Xixi felt a little dazed, realizing that it had been a long time since they last met.

"Yes, let's sit down and have something to eat first."

Xueche wanted to refuse, but the aroma of meat made him sit down anyway.

Xue Che drank a bowl of meat soup, a satisfied look on his face. He then turned to Xi Jing, noticing the obvious wounds on his face, and asked with some concern, "I heard that you all went to the Thunder Swallowing Forest on the day of the sacrificial ceremony. What is the situation there now?"

While they were in Beast King City, they could only get bits and pieces of information. They knew that all the beastmen who came to participate in the sacrifice had gone to the Thunder Swallowing Forest. When he found out, he felt sad for a long time and even wanted to go to the Thunder Swallowing Forest to find Qiao Xixi and the others.

But the father beast stopped him after he learned of his thoughts. He was shocked when the bell rang today and dropped what he was doing to rush over here.

He was overjoyed to see Qiao Xixi.

Qiao Xixi put down her soup bowl and said, "We did enter the Thunder Swallowing Forest and encountered many monsters, but we were lucky and came out of the Thunder Swallowing Forest safely."

"We also found out why there are so many monsters in the forest, but just as we were about to purify the dark stone that gave the monsters power, someone suddenly appeared and stole the scattered dark power. Xi Jing and I chased after that person."

Xue Che listened attentively, and by the end, his clear and bright eyes had become tense.

"Did you find him?"

Qiao Xixi shook her head. "The other party's whereabouts have been cut off, but we are certain that they are still hiding in Beast King City."

“Josie, female, what can I do for you?”

Qiao Xixi served him another bowl of meat soup. "We came to you because we want your help. We're guarding the city gate. Are there any orcs with 9-star beast souls who can find a chance to leave Beast King City?"

Qiao Xixi felt that this approach was not smart, since high-level orcs could hide their aura, but she couldn't think of a better way for the time being.

Given the Beast King's personality, he wouldn't easily open the city gates before capturing her, which is why she wanted Xue Che to help her wait for him to come to her.

She guessed that the other party would be in a hurry to leave, so he would try to get out while the city gates were closing, which would make it easy for him to give himself away.

"Okay, I understand. I will definitely check every orc who wants to leave the city carefully."

"Thank you."

After he finished eating, Qiao Xixi took out a bag of crystals and handed it to him. Most of the crystals inside were low-grade crystals and colorless crystals.

"Xue Che, take this. With the crystal, you can get food and won't have to go hunting. You can also give the crystal to the beast soldiers who are making things difficult for you, and they will let you off the hook because of the crystal."

Xue Che swallowed back the words he wanted to say. Qiao Xixi was right; even in Beast King City, crystals were precious.

"Okay, I'll take the things. I'll ring the bell as soon as I notice anything unusual."

"Ah."

When Xue Che left, Qiao Xixi gave him some more dried meat and watched him walk away before closing the courtyard gate.

"Xixi, what are your plans for the future?"

Qiao Xixi frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I want to go back to the palace."
