"Look!"
"What is this monster trying to do?"
"It's still trying to sneak this treasure away?"
"This monster is quite cunning."
The surrounding soldiers burst into laughter at the monster's actions.
Even Ao Yuan watched the monster with some curiosity.
He clearly hadn't expected this monster to be so bold.
He observed it curiously. It was a small monster with pure white fur.
It looked somewhat adorable, forming a stark contrast with the monsters around it.
If there was any similarity, it was only their equally scarlet eyes.
"This monster is so cute!"
Dai Xiaomei, standing beside him, was instantly captivated upon seeing it.
"Dai Xiaomei, be careful."
"This is a monster from this small world!"
Seeing Dai Xiaomei instinctively wanting to approach, Bai Feng pulled her hand and reminded her.
Upon hearing this, Dai Xiaomei smiled sheepishly and stopped advancing.
However, her gaze remained fixed on the monster.
She wanted to see what this monster was going to do.
Unexpectedly, it darted to Ao Yuan's side and presented the drop of 'blood' as if offering a treasure.
Seeing this, everyone exchanged glances, their expressions beyond peculiar.
If they weren't mistaken.
This monster... was trying to appease Ao Yuan?
Having dealt with so many creatures from small worlds, they were truly baffled!
Such a thing was possible?
Ao Yuan was also somewhat surprised by this.
Because.
Although the monster was small, Ao Yuan could sense a faint sense of crisis emanating from it.
Of course, this crisis was extremely weak, so weak that Ao Yuan might not have noticed it if he hadn't scanned carefully.
But nevertheless.
The fact that it could give Ao Yuan a sense of crisis proved its extraordinary nature.
At least!
Ao Yuan felt this from no other monster in the entire area.
"Are you giving this to me?" Ao Yuan asked tentatively after a moment's thought.
"Awu~"
The monster nodded anthropomorphically and then raised its two short forelimbs above its head.
To express its intentions.
"Interesting."
Ao Yuan chuckled.
Immediately, he used the skill Omnilingual Mastery.
"Little one, what kind of creature are you?"
"Awu~"
The monster paused, its face filled with surprise.
Then, it stiffly turned its head towards Ao Yuan.
"Awu~ The voice came from you."
"That's right, it was me."
Ao Yuan said with a faint smile on his dragon face, "Can you tell me, what kind of creature are you?"
"Awu~ I... I am a god of this world!"
"Gods?" Ao Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't interrupt, letting it continue.
Beside them.
All the soldiers watched Ao Yuan and the monster with wide eyes.
They couldn't understand the monster's words at all, only seeing that Ao Yuan seemed to be questioning it.
The realization struck them all dumb.
After all, Ao Yuan was not an indigenous inhabitant of this world!
How could he understand and communicate with it?
This was too unbelievable!
Back then, when they questioned that Mo clan monster, they had to use a lot of specialized equipment.
Only then did they manage to get an answer!
The crowd was shocked but didn't make a sound.
They stood quietly, waiting.
Their eyes darted between the still wailing monster and Ao Yuan, who looked serious.
They really wanted to know what this monster had said to Ao Yuan.
After a while.
Ao Yuan finally looked up, his face filled with understanding. "So that's how it is."
"Your Majesty, the Guardian Beast of the Nation."
Bai Feng, who had been waiting nearby, immediately asked Ao Yuan, "What did it say?"
Meeting their expectant gazes, Ao Yuan didn't hide anything. "It said it is a race that guards this altar in this world."
"Originally, it was meant to protect this world, but one day, several powerful creatures suddenly appeared."
"These creatures were cruel and bloodthirsty, and eventually turned this world into what it is now."
"Originally, this world was like the forests on Blue Star."
"And the fruit that the giant tree on the altar produced could help people grow."
"Eventually, it also became like this..."
Ao Yuan spoke for a long time.
When he finished, everyone's face showed a look of realization.
So that was what had happened!
"So, if it's carefully cultivated..."
"Will this giant tree also revert to its original form?"
After listening quietly, Bai Feng's eyes gleamed as he glanced at the giant tree.
According to this monster's explanation, although the current giant tree still had its former effects,
Its effectiveness was no longer as good as before.
"Awu~"
Hearing the monster's cry, the others turned their confused heads towards Ao Yuan.
Ao Yuan shook his head. "It says you are correct."
"Oh, right, it also said you can take this tree with you."
"But you must leave a seed behind!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng nodded calmly.
The Great Xia would absolutely not give up on this giant tree.
However, if it could be done without bloodshed, the Great Xia would be very happy.
"Of course, it has a condition." Ao Yuan paused, then added, "It can pledge allegiance to Great Xia, but unless absolutely necessary, please do not enter this small world in the future."
"That is natural."
Bai Feng immediately agreed.
The monster's wish was in line with the long-standing national policy of Great Xia.
"Good!"
"In that case, I should be done here."
"I'll take my leave."
Ao Yuan glanced at Bai Feng and then at the little monster.
He didn't linger and, taking Dai Xiaomei with him, transformed into a streak of light and instantly sped into the distance.
For him.
There was nothing in this small world that interested him.
His arrival in this small world was merely at Bai Feng's request.
Now that the task was complete.
It was time to return.
"Awu~"
As the monster saw Ao Yuan about to leave, it immediately cried out loudly.
"Little one, we'll meet again if fate allows!"
Leaving behind a final voice, Ao Yuan completely vanished from this world.
"Awu~"
Seeing Ao Yuan leave, the monster suddenly let out a furious roar.
"Roar~"
"Roar~"
"Roar!"
Hearing the roar, the many terrifying monsters below responded in kind.
Bai Feng signaled his men not to make any rash moves, and to wait patiently for this to end.
And at this moment!
With a flash of light, Ao Yuan had already returned to Blue Star.
"Daidaidai!"
"Daidaidai!"
"Daidaidai!"
As soon as he emerged, Ao Yuan was greatly astonished.
He saw soldiers armed with weapons surrounding him, and a cordon line beside them.
Outside the cordon line, there was a sea of people!
