It was true that she had gone out to gather herbs, and she also wanted to take the opportunity to observe the terrain. However, what surprised her was that after just one fainting spell, it felt as if she had entered an entirely different forest. The vegetation remained enormous, but none of it resembled the flora near the Serpent Clan; it was as if she had stepped into a completely disconnected space.
As if sensing her thoughts, Chuan Sandao, who had already introduced himself, said, "We've heard about you. I suppose you haven't ventured far from the Serpent Clan and might not be familiar with the geography of the Azure Tower Continent."
Throughout Chuan San's explanation, Yun Zhi Yue maintained a look of shock. This dimension truly opened her eyes. The Azure Tower Continent was not a flat surface but resembled a rotating puzzle, composed of small pieces stitched together. Although it felt stable underfoot, the land was in constant motion.
To jump from one piece of land to another required careful calculation of time and direction; it wasn't something one could do on a whim. The land shifted continuously, connecting for only brief moments before separating again to link with other territories. The only time when the entire continent aligned perfectly was during the harsh winter, but the winter in the Beastmen Tribe was brutal, and no clan would venture out to seek death.
The land where Chuan Shi Shou resided was the last point of connection with the Serpent Clan before they would reconnect again only when winter passed. Thus, if she wanted to return, she would have to wait until spring.
It left her speechless; she had never heard of such a dimension before. The Reincarnation Stone was also astonished but, having lived for a long time and seen much of the world, simply remarked that in countless worlds, there were all kinds of wonders.
With winter approaching in less than a month, she calculated that she might not see Mo Li for four months. They must be worried sick about her, but there was nothing she could do to send them a message.
Although the vegetation in this forest was unfamiliar, she managed to find the herbs she needed. With the nourishment from the herbs and wood spirit energy, Chuan Yi's body recovered rapidly. By the fifth day since her arrival here, he had regained consciousness and was quite surprised to see her.
After hearing about his brothers' actions, he sincerely apologized and promised that once winter passed, he would ensure her return to the Serpent Clan.
Chuan Yi's appearance resembled that of a human, and his mannerisms were also very similar. After spending some time together, she understood that there were indeed humans on this continent, albeit far away. He had once wandered with migrating tribes and accidentally entered human territory; at that time, he did not have these brothers yet. He pretended to be human for some time until he found an opportunity to return to the forest. However, reuniting with his tribe became impossible; his family had no choice but to settle in one place and eventually welcomed these eight brothers.
After his death, he took charge of them and gradually established a good reputation among the beastmen as Chuan Jia Jiu Xiong Di. This brought trouble as well; among his brothers, he held a position of respect. The Beast King selection held every five years was approaching, and his popularity was considerable.
Some members of the Bear Tribe did not want their Majesty to feel threatened and sent people to find those beastmen with great reputations outside their territory. They aimed to severely injure them beforehand so they would miss the competition and lessen the burden on the Beast King.
Yun Zhi Yue exclaimed in surprise, "So does that mean the Beast King must defeat all challengers to win? If injured midway through, do they still have to fight? Wouldn't that benefit those who come after?"
Chuan Yi smiled and replied, "Of course there are rules. All challengers will draw lots for their order of combat. The Beast King fights only five matches each day, and there are only thirty spots available for challengers."
To compete for the ranking of these thirty challengers, one must defeat their competitors a month before the selection begins to secure a spot for the subsequent battle against the Beast King.
