Sang Ye put the black wooden box into his space. After getting Sang Ye’s permission, Huanhuan told Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling about this. She told the three of them to be careful not to touch the black wooden box.

As for the matter of going to Dark Moon City, it would have to wait until the snow melted.

While Sang Ye was tidying up the room, Xue Ling walked in. He leaned against the door and said, “The beast who spoke to you in the forest this morning was Han Ying, right?”

Sang Ye replied without looking up, “Yes.”

“He wasn’t actually gone when I arrived, was he?”

“Yeah.”

Xue Ling laughed. “I knew it. I did smell the scent of a demon at that time. I thought I was wrong. Now, it seems that my perception is still very sharp!”

Sang Ye took the opportunity to say, “Yes, it’s indeed very sharp. You’re not inferior to the other young beasts at all.”

“…I’m young too!”

Sang Ye was silent.

Xue Ling emphasized, “I’m mature! Do you understand?!”

“Yeah.”

No matter what Xue Ling said, Sang Ye remained indifferent. He was neither angry nor happy. If he wasn’t still moving, Xue Ling would have thought he was talking to a wooden doll.

Xue Ling said casually, “Forget it. You’re too boring. I’ll go play with Shuang Yun.”

…

At this moment, Shuang Yun was checking the vegetable fields and orchards at the foot of the mountain. It was too cold. Other than some special winter crops, the other crops could not be planted. The fruit trees were also frozen solid. Those chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep were driven into specially built straw sheds.

When Shuang Yun went to see them, they were gathered together for warmth.

The surroundings of the straw shed were tightly sealed. There was no wind or rain, so it was still warm inside.

When he went down the mountain, he saw He Guang rushing over.

He Guang’s expression was very serious. “Patriarch Shuang Yun, I need your help with something.”

Shuang Yun asked, “What is it?”

He Guang lowered his voice. “When the beast soldiers were hunting in the forest, they accidentally discovered the nest of the white rock worms.”

Shuang Yun was shocked and quickly asked, “Where?”

“It’s in the southeast of the forest. It’s relatively remote. If the beast soldiers hadn’t chased a mule to that place, no one would have stepped foot there.”

Shuang Yun asked, “What do you want me to do?”

He Guang quickly explained his plan. “Since we’ve discovered the nest of the White Rock Worms, we must take the opportunity to eliminate them in one go, lest they harm the beast continent in the future.”

Shuang Yun nodded in agreement.

The white rock worms were extremely dangerous. Not only beasts, but even ordinary animals and plants would be implicated.

It was best to get rid of them as soon as possible.

He Guang said, “The nest of the white rock worms is in a special place. We need the help of the feather tribe. I heard that your Rock Wolf Tribe has a deep relationship with the feather tribe, so I want to ask you to arrange a meeting with the leader of the feather tribe for me.”

Shuang Yun agreed readily. “No problem. I’ll talk to Shen Yan about this later.”

“Thank you!”

Shuang Yun waved his hand, indicating that it was a small matter. There was no need to thank him.

He had just turned around when he saw Xue Ling walking out of the mountain.

Shuang Yun immediately called Xue Ling over and told him the news that He Guang had brought.

Xue Ling still remembered the time when he was almost drugged in the military camp. He looked at He Guang with a scrutinizing gaze.

“How can we be sure you’re telling the truth? If you lie again like last time, we’ll be screwed once more.”

Shuang Yun was puzzled. “Has he lied to you before?”

He Guang quickly explained, “The last time was a misunderstanding. It was Yi Wu’s idea. It had nothing to do with me. I really didn’t know anything about it!”

“You might not have known about it beforehand, but didn’t you find out later? Do you remember what you did? You saved me and threw me to that b*tch Yi Wu so that I could be humiliated.”

This matter was indeed He Guang’s mistake.

He looked guilty. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through. Fortunately, you were fine later. Otherwise, I’d definitely feel guilty for the rest of my life.”

Xue Ling’s lips curled into a cold smile. “You should be glad that Yi Wu didn’t succeed. Otherwise, you and your entire camp would have been burned to ashes.”

He Guang frowned slightly. He was a prince, after all. No one had ever dared to threaten him to his face.

Xue Ling was definitely the first ever.

This made He Guang a little unhappy, but because he was in their territory, He Guang could not vent his anger. He could only suppress his dissatisfaction.

“The past is in the past. The most important thing now is to destroy the nests of the white rock worms. It’s winter now, and the white rock worms are frozen, so they can’t go out. Their attack power is much lower, so it’s a good time to kill them. After this period of time, it’ll be difficult to kill them again.”

He Guang had said his piece, but Xue Ling refused to believe him.

“Unless you can bring back a white rock worm to show us, don’t expect me to believe you again.”

He Guang was helpless and could only agree. “Alright.”

When he was gone, Shuang Yun and Xue Ling walked back.

On the way, Shuang Yun asked Xue Ling about the last time he was deceived by He Guang.

Being drugged had always been a stain in Xue Ling’s past. He was unwilling to say too much about this matter, so he casually found an excuse to brush it off.

The next day, as promised, He Guang brought over a white rock worm.

This white rock worm was very small. Clearly, it was still in its infancy and was already dead.

He Guang didn’t look happy. “We almost lost our lives trying to kill this worm.”

Xue Ling glanced at the white rock worm, then looked away. He waved his hand, and a cluster of flames flew out, burning the worm to ashes.

This time, he didn’t continue to make things difficult for He Guang. He casually said, “How many feathered beasts do you want?”

“I want at least 30.”

“Wait here.”

Xue Ling left after saying this. He found Shen Yan and told him the news that He Guang had brought. Then, he picked out 50 feather beasts from the feather tribe and led them to follow He Guang and the beast soldiers to the nest of the white rock worms.

Huanhuan was worried about their safety and asked Shuang Yun to help take care of them.

Hence, Shuang Yun chose another 50 wolf beasts from the Rock Wolf Tribe. Xue Ling and the others went to help with the insects.

The mighty insect extermination army entered the forest. After a few turns, they finally found the nest.

When they arrived in person, they understood why He Guang had insisted on the feathered beasts’ help.

The white rock worms’ nest was actually built on a tree!

Looking up, these trees were all filled with densely packed white rock worms. From afar, they looked like white snowballs, but on a closer look, one could tell that they were all curled-up flesh worms.

As it was too cold, they all fell asleep in order to maintain their bodies’ temperature.

There were at least a thousand of them.

The beasts all held their breaths and slowed down, afraid of alerting these worms.
