There is a beast: (Hundred Explanations)

Chapter 112 Earning Faith Power?

Bai Jie tightened her grip on the man's body slightly.

"Cough cough—" The man felt a surge of power in his body, and a feeling of pressure in his chest made him cough.

"I'm asking you a question. Answer properly if you don't want to die." Bai Jie's patience was running out. If this guy really just stayed silent like a mute, he wouldn't mind killing him. The fact that Bai Jie was talking to him was the greatest mercy she could show.

"Okay...okay." The pain brought the man back to reality; he hadn't expected this beast to actually possess intelligence.

“Our tribe is at war with the tribe on the other side, but we’re running out of supplies. My mother and child are hungry, so I sneaked out to hunt, and that’s when I met you…” the man said hesitantly.

Bai Jie stared at the man expressionlessly, trying to determine whether he was lying.

"Oh? Then tell me, why are you out hunting so late? You must know how powerful the beasts of the night are, right?" Bai Jie's face turned fierce.

There's no way a human would still be out hunting when it's almost completely dark. This guy is very suspicious, and Bai Jie has reason to suspect that he's been watching them.

"Golden Thread, I've finally caught up with you. Whew~" The Four-Faced Beast was exhausted from the chase, but it had finally reached Bai Jie's side.

"Huh? What's this?" Four-Faced Beast asked, looking at the human being pinned to the ground by Bai Jie's claws.

“This guy is the one who just attacked us,” Bai Jie said calmly.

The young man's eyes widened again; this newcomer could actually speak.

But then I thought about it again, and it's really unlikely that anyone who was near the beast that had just captured him could be ordinary.

"Golden Thread, let him go. That wooden thing couldn't hurt us," Si Bu Xiang said with a squinting smile.

"?" Bai Jie was a little stunned. Was this four-legged creature a bit dim-witted?

Sibuxiang nodded at him. Bai Jie rolled her eyes. You have no idea what I'm thinking. I just said you have cat cake, and now you're nodding.

Bai Jie turned her head and stared at the young man.

The man felt a chill run down his spine from being stared at; the golden beast's eyes were terrifying. He broke out in a cold sweat and swallowed hard.

"I'll let you go in a bit, don't run away, understand?" Bai Jie said with a hint of threat.

The man dared not disobey and nodded hastily.

Bai Jie pressed down with her claws again, then released them.

"Cough cough cough..." The man felt the claws on his body tighten again, thinking that the beast had changed its mind and was not going to let him go. The ease that followed made him feel like he had been given a new lease on life.

He slowly stood up, patted his chest, and took deep breaths.

This was the first time he had a proper look at Bai Jie and Si Bu Xiang.

The two beasts were surrounded by an auspicious aura, with golden and white emanations emanating from them from time to time.

He was shocked again. Had he offended two divine beasts?! If the divine beasts could talk, then it would make perfect sense.

The young man now felt like slapping himself twice.

Anyone with a normal sense knows what auspicious mythical beasts represent. They are coveted by every king. With the help of these mythical beasts, becoming king is a sure thing.

As a result, when he made his move, he hit two of them, but he only wanted to hurt two of them.

"Please...please forgive me." The man had no intention of resisting anymore. Daring to hurt auspicious mythical beasts, if anyone told them, they would be lucky if he wasn't beaten to death. Now he could only hope that he could get the forgiveness of the two mythical beasts.

In this era of nature worship and deity worship, his idea was indeed correct.

"Forgive?" Bai Jie chuckled.

Bai Jie was about to give this man a good scolding when she put herself in his shoes. If you were walking along and a stranger suddenly ran up and attacked you, would you forgive him?

Then he thought, "That's right, this guy seems to be from the same tribe, and he's quite filial. If I could use him..."

He can spread his faith to this tribe, and then his faith value will be even higher, right?

Rather than seeking immediate relief, Bai Jie prioritizes long-term development. He is not the kind of beast that only knows how to kill; he understands this much.

“I can forgive you, but you need to do a few things for me,” Bai Jie said expressionlessly.

The Four-Faced Beast looked at Bai Jie with curiosity, never expecting that the Golden Thread would actually forgive this human. You know, the previous few glowing humanoid gods were all ruthlessly thrown to Qiongqi by the Golden Thread.

In truth, Bai Jie believed that gods and humans were different; humans were humans, and gods were gods. This didn't conflict with his dislike of gods and his decision to spare this human.

Not all two-legged creatures smell like mud!

“Okay! No problem!” The young man agreed without even thinking.

"Your name," Bai Jie said calmly.

“My name is Song,” Song said.

Bai Jie raised an eyebrow. Why is there only one character and no surname?

"How is your family doing?" Bai Jie asked again.

Song scratched his head. Why was this beast asking such strange questions? It even asked about his family's situation.

“I have a mother, a wife, and a son at home. Now, during the war, we don’t have enough food, so I often go out hunting. That’s why I’m very familiar with the terrain around here,” Song said.

Bai Jie nodded. This guy was indeed very familiar with the area. He had been outmaneuvered by this guy several times before, who used the trees in the forest to cover him. If it weren't for his strength, it would have taken him a while to catch this guy.

"Okay, when you get back, you should tell everyone about me. Um... take this." Bai Jie plucked a small tuft of hair from her body and placed it in Song's hand.

"This...this is?" Song asked, somewhat puzzled.

“This is my hair. Take it back with you. It will allow me to keep an eye on you at any time. Don’t let me find out you’re slacking off. Otherwise, it won’t be such a simple matter,” Bai Jie said fiercely.

"Okay...okay!" Song said, a little flustered.

Bai Jie looked at Song's appearance, and then took out a leaf-shaped cup from her storage space, which contained some 'water'.

"This is a miraculous medicine; drinking it can cure all diseases. Don't say I didn't give you anything in return!" Bai Jie handed the cup to Song.

Song was flattered and overwhelmed, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

“Once it’s spilled, it’s gone,” Bai Jie said mercilessly.

Song managed to steady his hand, but his face still showed surprise.

"Thank you... thank you!" Song said loudly.

Bai Jie waved her paw, "Hurry up and leave, or I might change my mind."

Seeing Song running away with a mixture of excitement and worry, Bai Jie was speechless.

The four strange creatures gathered around Bai Jie.

"Golden Thread, when did you develop the ability to monitor hair?" Four-Faced Beast asked, tilting its head.

Has this golden thread acquired new abilities yet?

"Oh, that? I was just talking nonsense. I don't have that ability at all," Bai Jie said, shrugging.

"?" The Four-Faced Beast was even more puzzled.

"Aren't you afraid that the two-legged creature won't listen to you?" the four-legged creature asked.

"What's the panic? This is called putting psychological pressure on the other party. This guy is not very willing to gamble, and with that glass of water just now, he shouldn't betray us, right?" Actually, Bai Jie didn't quite understand the game either. This was the first time he had used this tactic: give a blow and then offer a sweet treat.

"Oh well, never mind, there's no harm in it anyway," Bai Jie said, waving her paw.

In his past life, he was a naive college-bound student who didn't know much about these things, so... well...

"Oh right, that water seemed to be..." Si Bu Xiang thought of the glass of water from earlier.

"That's right, your saliva, hmm."
