Chapter 88 The Village is Gone
Qiao Suluo was so amazed that she forgot to react, and even felt as if she forgot to breathe.

He was very tall, and he looked down at her and said, "Would you like to become my disciple?"

"Would you like to become my apprentice?"

Qiao Suluo felt very surprised; she was completely unprepared and had never thought of becoming an apprentice.

"If you become my disciple, I will teach you my skills. However, you are too weak now, so I can only teach you some basic abilities for now."

"By learning these, you can improve your own strength and also help your beastman awaken his superpowers."

Upon hearing these words, Qiao Suluo immediately knelt down, "Master, please accept my bow."

As he spoke, he quickly kowtowed three times.

The man looked at her with a gratified expression. He then extended his long, slender, and jade-like fingers and gently touched her forehead. Qiao Suluo felt a cool and comfortable sensation wash over her, and her mind was suddenly filled with a lot of information.

There's so much information, and so many mysterious characters.

She even felt that he had a very powerful aura.

What are these characters?

"You will understand as you gradually come to realize it."

It's unclear how much time passed, but the man lowered his hand, only to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Master, how are you?"

"It doesn't matter."

What can I do for my master?

"You possess purification abilities and have immense fortune; you are a woman of destiny, meaning Heaven has chosen you. Before you grow stronger, you only need to protect yourself..."

Her master said a lot to her, and she tried her best to remember it.

"Alright, time is running out, you should go back now."

With that, he waved his sleeve, intending to send her back.

"Master, I still don't know your name."

"My name is Ji Xueyi."

As the voice echoed in her ears, Qiao Suluo's consciousness returned to her body.

When she woke up again, she found herself at the foot of the Ancient Secret Forest with Chu Moyuan and Bai Qianluo.

Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan had just woken up. "What happened?"

They even thought it was just a dream.

But their real experiences in the dream made them realize that it wasn't all fake.

Chu Moyuan said, "I was supposed to be on night watch in the latter half of the night, but I don't know why I fell asleep and woke up here."

Chu Moyuan found it all very strange.

Qiao Suluo wanted to explain something, but then she remembered that her master had told her that there were some things she couldn't say, including his affairs.

"Perhaps some power within the secret realm directly transported us out."

"But I had a strange dream, in which it seemed like I suddenly had a lot more knowledge in my mind."

As Qiao Suluo spoke, she looked down at a spirit ring in her hand. This was something her master had given her, and she had been made to recognize it as her master by dripping her blood. Inside were many other things, including spirit stones for testing supernatural talents.

My master said that the beastmen a thousand years ago used this to test their innate abilities.

Bai Qianlu looked at her with concern and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Does your head hurt?"

Bai Qianluo didn't care whether she learned anything; he only cared whether she was feeling unwell.

Qiao Suluo shook her head and said, "I'm fine, let's go home first."

"it is good."

……

When Qiao Suluo and her group arrived at the village, they found it to be completely in ruins.

The crops planted by the village beastmen were all gone, and their houses had collapsed.

Qiao Suluo's expression changed instantly. "My parents, my brothers, where are they?"

At that moment, a sense of fear and panic welled up inside Qiao Suluo. She didn't even know what was happening here.

Bai Qianlu stepped forward to inspect the area and said, "It must be a flood that has submerged this whole place."

Qiao Suluo's gaze darkened, and she hurriedly ran to the far east end of the village, only to find that the house where her parents lived had also been reduced to ruins.

It's all empty inside.

She turned pale.

Seeing her like this, Bai Qianluo felt very sorry for her. She pulled her into her arms and gently comforted her, "Father, Mother and brothers will definitely be alright."

"They may have moved somewhere else."

However, the cat-beastmen cannot swim. Their White Cat Clan tribe lives in a low-lying area surrounded by mountains. If they cannot find shelter during a heavy rain, they are likely to drown.

Qiao Suluo nodded, quickly calming herself down and deciding to find someone first.

Although she hasn't been here for long, her parents and brothers have been very good to her, and she has gradually developed a sense of belonging here. She has long regarded them as her own family.

So she was also afraid that something might really happen to them, since cat-beastmen are naturally unable to swim.

Chu Moyuan carefully examined the surroundings and said, "I smell some auras; there are many beastmen on the mountain."

Chu Moyuan's true form is a snake-beastman, and he has an exceptionally keen sense of smell.

Qiao Suluo's expression shifted. "Then let's go up the mountain and take a look."

Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan accompanied Qiao Suluo to the back mountain.

Upon arriving at the mountain, they happened to see several female cat-beastmen digging for mushrooms.

When they saw Qiao Suluo, they became excited and enthusiastic. "Oh my, Qiao girl, you're finally back! Your parents and brothers were so worried about you."

"Yes, they're worried something might happen to you."

"Aunties, how are my parents and brothers?"

They nodded and said, "It's alright. It just rained a few days ago and caused a lot of flooding that submerged our village. Fortunately, everyone was safely evacuated to the mountains."

"Several orcs have died in the neighboring villages, but everyone in our village is still alive."

"Thanks to the first aid methods you taught everyone before, several drowning villagers were saved, otherwise who knows what would have happened."

Everyone sighed and lamented when they talked about it, while also looking at Qiao Suluo with gratitude.

At the time, they felt that the method of saving lives didn't necessarily need to be learned, and some people were unwilling to give gifts to express their gratitude.

Who would have thought that I would survive in the end?

After this incident, everyone in the village was grateful to Qiao Suluo.

"We didn't even have time to harvest our belongings. The rice and vegetables we planted were all flooded. All our hard work was for nothing, and we lost our food. Sigh..."

"Thanks to you, Qiao, for teaching everyone how to identify shiitake mushrooms. We've picked quite a few these past few days to make food and fill our stomachs. Otherwise, we would definitely be hungry..."

The orcs told Jossuro a lot at once.

Only then did Qiao Suluo realize what had happened.

It turns out there was a major flood outside as well.

Their cat village is indeed located in a relatively remote area with some low-lying terrain, and the rising river level on rainy days is indeed dangerous.

Thankfully, my parents are alright.

If there's no food, she can just find more. Besides, she has a spatial shop, so her parents and brothers won't go hungry.

Of course, everyone was stunned when they saw Chu Moyuan behind Qiao Suluo. They remembered that Qiao Suluo had sold Chu Moyuan out, but they didn't expect her to bring him back.

The leader said her daughter had changed for the better, and now everyone truly believed her.

"Auntie, where do my parents live now?"

"Go that way, it's in that cave over there."

Most of the villagers are now living in caves on the mountain. They don't know if it will continue to rain heavily, and they dare not go down the mountain to rebuild their villages for fear of another heavy rain.

It's been drizzling these past few days.

So let's stay on the mountain for now and see how things go.
