CHAPTER 310: CHAPTER 301: SI YAN, THE WISE ONE, SAVES EVERYONE_1

And in that instant, the vine in her hand seemed to come to life like a snake.

It was sturdy and forceful, with two vines entwining purposefully, thickening and violently shooting toward the opposite bank of the river!

Once the first thick vine struck the large tree on the riverbank, it quickly wrapped around it. But that wasn’t enough. To ensure its strength, it rapidly took root in the ground.

The roots swiftly penetrated the soil, anchoring deeply in no time—unaffected by wind and indestructible by water!

"One is not enough," Si Yan said.

She Wang spoke softly, "Are you making a bridge?"

Though he posed it as a question, his tone was affirmative.

He had indeed guessed it. She was creating the same kind of bridge Jin Yang had showcased today, one connecting both banks!

"Mhm," Si Yan acknowledged, as the third vine, the fourth, the fifth, and countless others interwove and intertwined!

With a clear goal, as they wove together, they extended tirelessly toward that isolated island, following the path of the first vine.

The Beastman hugged her, tilting his head to gaze at her small face.

His little female always likes to do things that seem rather meaningless to me, he thought. Like helping others, or saving people. But my little female always manages to bring me surprises and excitement!

Although he was a cold-blooded Beastman with a temperament not given to overt excitement, he very much enjoyed being with her, engaging in these wild endeavors!

The Beastman controlled his power, lending it to her bit by bit.

Si Yan, in turn, could maximize the use of the strength he gave.

The two of them complemented each other perfectly; they were the most in-sync Beast Husband and wife!

"What exactly is this thing they’re making?"

"Lady Si Yan’s Beast Husband actually has a Wood-based Ability! It’s incredible! Such a formidable Special Ability, I’ve never seen anything like it."

"My grandchild will be saved! My grandchild will be saved! Grandchild, just stay put on the tree, don’t come down! Wait for the Sage, wait for the Sage to finish making this thing!"

"Grandpa, Grandpa! Wait for us, the Sage is saving you!"

Si Yan’s vines grew at an astonishing rate, outpacing the rise of the water level!

Right after Si Yan’s last vine was secured and its roots had firmly taken hold in the soil, she commanded, "One by one, cross the bridge carefully!"

The back-flowing river water was about to submerge the small island, but fortunately, the elders and cubs orderly moved towards the vine bridge Si Yan had constructed.

As the water rushed by, the vine bridge swayed, causing the cubs to scream in fear, with some even breaking out into tears.

Si Yan shouted, "The vines are very secure! You have to believe that the river cannot break them! If you stay steady, you can survive!"

An elder accompanying the frightened cubs said, "Cubs, hold steady!"

The cubs suppressed their tears. Though they wanted to cry, they could only whimper softly in fear. They slowly moved, reassuring themselves by repeating, "Sister Sage is on the other side, Sister Sage is on the other side..."

Below them were terrifying, churning waves.

Above them was a seemingly delicate but very solid vine bridge.

One cub glimpsed downward, and his legs turned to jelly from fear.

"Don’t look down!" Si Yan yelled.

The cubs endeavored not to look down, stifling their tears. Filled with fear yet determination, they walked towards Si Yan.

The first little Beastman successfully crossed the river to the shore, followed by the second, the third, and the fourth.

One by one, the little Beastmen safely reached the other side.

"Grandchild!"

"Grandpa!"

The rescued Beastmen embraced each other in excitement.

However, at that moment, a little Beastman cub at the very back couldn’t resist a glance downward and almost instantly felt dizzy. The vine bridge shook, and as his hands lost their grip, he was about to fall.

"The little cub!"

Just in the nick of time, Si Yan swiftly grew a vine, which, like a nimble snake, instantly wrapped around the child.

The little Beastman stared dumbfounded at the turbulent river below.

Si Yan infused the vine with her Special Ability and, in one smooth motion, pulled the little cub back to safety on the shore.

"The little cub!"

The rescued little Beastmen embraced each other again.

The snake beastman turned his head to look at his little female.

Perspiration dripped from her forehead, mingling with the rainwater until they were indistinguishable. Having suddenly unleashed her power explosively, she now felt a bit weak.

Behind them, the rescued Beastmen knelt one after another. The family members of the rescued, as well as their fellow Beastmen who had been traveling with them, also knelt towards Si Yan and She Wang.

"Thank you, Sage! Thank you, Sage!"

The heavy rain continued to fall. This true first vine bridge of the Beast World would, in times to come, be named Sage Bridge.

The story of how Si Yan, the Sage, and her snake husband with his Wood-based Ability built the bridge together, saving the old Beastmen and cubs, spread widely throughout Myriad Beasts City.

Si Yan raised her head. Her clear, distinct eyes met She Wang’s, and her own eyes crinkled with a smile. "Wang, I promised you I wouldn’t act recklessly."

"Hmm," the snake beastman’s eyes revealed a smile.

The snake beastman wanted to pick her up, but Si Yan refused, "Hold on a moment."

The snake beastman, slightly surprised, watched as she walked towards a patch of grass nearby.

Parting the grass, Si Yan found a pet Golden Ear Beast crouching under a large leaf.

Just as Si Yan was about to pick up this adorable little creature, she noticed the little Golden Ear Beast’s eyes were fixed on a Beastman cub nearby.

Si Yan followed its gaze and saw a little Beastman cub whose baby fat had not completely faded. He had big, bright eyes, milky-white skin, and golden hair, looking utterly adorable.

Right then, the little Beastman cub was looking at her with shining eyes.

The Golden Ear Beast carefully tried to approach the little cub, but the cub suddenly reacted. His response was a bit excessive; he clearly resisted the Golden Ear Beast’s approach.

"Little guy, what are you doing here? Where’s your family?" The little Beastman cub was about the same size as her own four little ones, and Si Yan felt a warmth for him, prompting her to ask.

The little Beastman cub looked at Si Yan, his eyes beginning to redden faintly. He suddenly ran out and hugged her.

Oh... Si Yan thought, taken aback.

The little fellow clung to Si Yan, trembling slightly.

Si Yan said gently, "If you’re scared, you can come home with me. I have four cubs at my house who can play with you."

The little Beastman cub raised his head to look at Si Yan and nodded vigorously.

「Back at the tavern」

The little Beastman cub sat in a corner of the first-floor hall.

She Wang skillfully prepared hot water for Si Yan. After he adjusted the temperature in the wooden tub in their room, a naked Si Yan sat in the tub, blowing bubbles.

...

Male Beastmen loved this kind of battle, where blood and madness intertwined.

The heavy rain did not extinguish the males’ enthusiasm.

The rain made the Beastmen even more frenzied!

The first day of the Wan Cheng Gathering concluded despite the heavy rain.

Even Jin Kun, whom everyone generally disliked, gained a lot of goodwill for having soundly defeated the contingent from Myriad Beasts City.

Jin Kun wiped the blood from his forehead and disdainfully glanced at Jin Tong.

Jin Tong was even more disdainful.

Silly Third Brother, just keep being foolish. When you finally get rid of our Sixth Brother, you’ll eventually regret it, just like Fourth Brother did.

Jin Kun took an animal skin to cover the wound on his forehead but didn’t forget to ask about Jin Yao, "How is Yao Yao doing right now?"

The Beastman he asked, transfixed by the match, had completely forgotten to look after Jin Yao. "Third... Third Young Master, I... I’m not sure..."

Jin Kun glared at him unhappily.

He wondered if Yao Yao’s illness had been cured.

He had just decided to go back and find Jin Yao when several little Beastmen ran over.

"Help, help!"

"Outside the city, the water outside the city is perilously high!"

"Don’t panic, take it easy, tell us slowly."

"The water... the water is surging! There are no strong Beastmen around, only old Beastmen and cubs!"

"What are you waiting for? Go save them quickly!"

Just as everyone was about to rush to the rescue, a few more Beastmen ran over.

Catching his breath, one Beastman grabbed the group.

"No, there’s no need! Si Yan... Sage Si Yan, she saved everyone..."
