His Safety Is in Our Hands

Bi Ji's plan was clear and well-defined, taking into account the unique abilities of each individual and maximizing the integration and division of power between humans and Soul Beast.

The core offensive was led by three top experts, while the outer defense and clearing operations were handled by two young people with unlimited potential. She herself coordinated the operations and provided the strongest logistical support.

"Gentlemen."

Bi Ji's voice carried an undeniable decisiveness.

"This battle is not for personal grudges, but for survival! If the Evil Source is not eradicated, the Star Dou will perish, and the continent will be doomed! We have no way out!"

She glanced around at everyone, her gaze finally settling on Qian Daoliu Di Tian, two peak experts who had just been at each other's throats.

"In this battle, we must set aside past grievances and unite as one! The Star Dou Forest and the Spirit Hall, humans and Soul Beast —at this moment, our fates are intertwined!"

Qian Daoliu sharp as swords, and a faint holy light flowed around him. He replied in a deep voice:

"That is only right! Evil spirits and heretics should be punished by everyone! The Angel's Light will surely cleanse away the filth!"

Di Tian's enormous dragon body slightly adjusted its posture in the air, a cold fighting spirit burning in its dragon eyes, and a deep dragon roar resounded through the sky as a response.

The will contained within that dragon's roar was incredibly clear.

For the sake of the forest, for the foundation of the Soul Beast Clan, this battle must be fought with all our might!

Bibi Dong gripped the illusory scepter in her hand, her Rakshasa Divine Power surging within, and a cold light flashed in her purple eyes.

Lin Xia and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance, both seeing tension in each other's eyes, but even more so, determination and responsibility—they had been entrusted with a crucial mission!

On the Lake of Life, even the wind seemed to have stopped flowing. Sunlight Infiltrator the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows on the open ground piled with the Spirit Bone, and illuminating the resolute faces of the crowd.

The Emerald Swan and the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King of the Star Dou Forest, the Grand Pontiff, the Pope, and the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall... This strange and unprecedented combination has come together for a common goal.

A somber and tragic atmosphere permeated the air, as if the air itself had frozen into ice.

Bi Ji glanced one last time at the map marked with dark purple light and shadow, a cold glint flashing in her emerald eyes.

"No time to lose! Let's go! Destination—the interior of the Black Swamp Forest!"

However, Xiong Jun, Scarlet King, Ten Thousand Demon King, and Zi JI looked at each other in bewilderment. Their massive bodies seemed somewhat cramped in place, and their fierce eyes revealed a hint of confusion.

It seems that... a few of them were overlooked in Bi Ji's arrangements?

"Bi Ji!"

Xiong Jun couldn't contain himself any longer. His rough voice, with a metallic scraping quality, broke the brief silence. His huge Dark Gold Terrorclaw pawed restlessly at the ground, leaving deep marks.

"You've arranged this meticulously! But what about us? Are we just going to stand by and watch? That evil thing is right in front of us, and my claws are itching to get a grip. How can we just sit idly by!"

His golden vertical pupils swept over Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong. Although the conflict had subsided for the time being, his inherent belligerence and a hint of resentment towards human powerhouses interfering in core affairs were still surging.

The Scarlet King let out a low growl, its three ferocious dog heads exhaling scorching breath, indicating its agreement with the Xiong Jun's statement.

The Ten Thousand Demon King's enormous body, composed of countless vines and tree burls, swayed slightly, its numerous Compound Eyes gleaming with an eerie light, silently expressing its willingness to participate.

Although Zi JI did not speak, her deep purple eyes looked at Bi Ji, clearly waiting for her to be assigned a task.

As the top combat force of the Star Dou Forest, they could not stand idly by in the face of Pollution Source threatening their homeland.

Upon hearing this, Bi Ji turned her emerald eyes to them, her gentle smile fading slightly, replaced by a serious expression of contemplation.

It wasn't that she had forgotten, but rather that the Ability of this source of Pollution Source required her to be extremely cautious about the involvement of the several Ferocious Beast leaders.

After a moment's hesitation, Bi Ji's gaze finally settled on Lin Xia, then swept over Xiong Jun and the others. Her voice was clear and cautious.

"Please calm down, everyone. The core of that Pollution Source is extremely strange and unpredictable, its power is extremely sinister, it has a strong resistance to pure energy impacts, and it is even more adept at eroding will and corrupting flesh and blood. Di Tian, who possesses the power of the Dragon God Claw, has the laws of darkness and destruction that can precisely restrain its ability to proliferate filth, so he is the main force. As for you few..."

She paused, seemingly considering her words.

"Xiong Jun, your power is fierce and unrestrained, but such a direct burst of energy may be absorbed or transformed by the Pollution Source, thus becoming an asset to it."

"Scarlet King, your hellfire is powerful, but its corrupt nature also has the power to distort the flames."

"Ten Thousand Demon King, your wood-type divine power is indeed powerful, but that source of Pollution Source feeds on the very essence of life. Your power is close to the core area, which is extremely risky."

"Zi JI, your Purple Imperial World-Extinguishing Flame, though containing destruction, still requires close proximity. The mental pollution in the core area may be difficult to withstand."

Bi Ji's words were like cold water, calming the restlessness of Xiong Jun and the other beasts, but also revealing solemnity and resentment on their faces.

What she said was true; the nature of this Pollution Source was indeed extremely restrictive of their usual fighting style.

"Therefore."

Bi Ji's tone shifted, becoming firm and unquestionable.

"Your mission is equally crucial!"

She pointed at Lin Xia.

"Little Lin Xia and Miss Qian Renxue are responsible for the outer Barrier and clearing out byproducts, serving as the 'shield' and 'net' in this purification battle. However, the outer perimeter is not absolutely safe. A desperate counterattack from the Pollution Source, or unforeseen changes on the core battlefield, could all affect them."

Her gaze swept over the four Ferocious Beast leaders, and she said in a deep voice:

"Your duty is to protect! Protect Lin Xia and Qian Renxue! Ensure their Barrier and extermination efforts proceed smoothly without interference. Especially Lin Xia!"

She emphasized her words, her emerald eyes filled with deeper meaning.

"He is not only a crucial part of this purification, but also a future ally the Master approved by the Lord. We cannot afford to lose him! If any unexpected changes occur on the outer battlefield that you cannot understand, or if you sense any unforeseen danger on Lin Xia's side, do not ask for permission, immediately provide support!"

"Use your strength to clear obstacles for him and protect him! This is your irreplaceable duty in this battle!"

"Protect that kid?"

Xiong Jun Spit Up a puff of white vapor from his huge nostrils, seemingly surprised and somewhat unwilling by the arrangement.

He, the mighty Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear King, is going to be a bodyguard?

Or should we protect a human boy?

The Scarlet King's three heads looked at each other and let out a low whimper.

The myriad branches and leaves of the Ten Thousand Demon King moved without wind, making a soft rustling sound.

Zi JI gave Lin Xia a deep look, her purple eyes flashing slightly, but she didn't say anything more.

Bi Ji looked at them, her tone both soothing and authoritative.

"This is no child's play, nor is it meant to belittle you all. Lin Xia's Ivysaur is the key to preventing the spread of pollution. If something happens to him, the Barrier will collapse, and the pollution will backfire. Not only will the core team's efforts be in vain, but the entire Star Dou and even the continent will face a catastrophe. Protecting him is protecting the key to the success or failure of this battle! It is also protecting our home!"

Zi JI broke the silence first, her clear, cold voice ringing out.

"Understood. His safety is in our hands."
