Chapter 372 is finished. It's an open conspiracy (bonus chapter for Song Jiang's nine-toot
The fourth brother strode out of the council hall and quickly figured it out.
At that time, only the Beast King's secret guards, the top group of wandering orcs from the Yama Beast Organization, were capable of doing this.
No one expected that it was Ruan Xiyue who did it herself.
Therefore, everyone's investigation has been going in the wrong direction.
Now, Lao Ba has figured this out, even though there's no evidence.
However, if we look at this matter from the perspectives of who benefits the most and who is most likely to be harmed before the incident, the least likely option is the correct answer!
Ruan Xiyue is the "mysterious assassination team" they've been searching for all this time!
She herself, a female orc, is an assassination squad!
Well done!
And now everyone is stubbornly trying to scheme against her!
Well done! Two extra points!
The fourth brother wasn't unwilling to fight for the position of Beast King; he felt he could do a better job than his father.
However, the problem is that he doesn't have a Moon Rabbit cub, so the entire Snow Rabbit tribe won't agree to this.
Secondly, the resources that the Beast King can access are unimaginable to other orcs.
Of course, what the fourth brother cared about most was recognition. He had wanted to be recognized all his life. The Beast King had never praised or acknowledged him, so he wanted to do the biggest thing and do it the best.
But all of that is predicated on being alive and being able to do it.
He has now broken free from the vicious cycle of obsession and has a clear understanding of the situation. The next Beast King can only be chosen from the second and third sons.
The second son only gets the right to be chosen because the third son really doesn't want to accept it. The second son is the third son's brother and can persuade the third son to get some "healing water" from the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue, so the second son can stand on the waiting list!
What about the rest? Humans filling in on the Beast World continent?
Stop thinking about it. The more you think about it, the more you feel like a deflated balloon, and there's no more joy in it.
Just as the fourth brother was feeling dejected, the round, chubby elder of the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe caught up with him, his small steps swift and agile.
The elder of the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe skipped the pleasantries and reported directly to the fourth prince: "Fourth Prince, are you really sure that we don't need to go against Holy Consort Ruan Xiyue anymore?"
The fourth brother, who had been looking sullen and resentful, turned to the elder of the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe.
The elder of the Treasure-Seeking Rat tribe sighed and quickly led the fourth brother to the Treasure-Seeking Rat tribe's resting place in the Holy City.
The elder of the Treasure-Seeking Rat tribe respectfully handed the information on the animal skin scroll to the fourth brother.
The fourth brother wasn't entirely clear on the specifics, but he did know that the Treasure-Hunting Rat tribe already had cubs with atavistic bloodlines!
He even knew specific details about Ruan Liyi, such as that Ruan Liyi's male cub was now six months old, a Fire-Butt Treasure-Seeking Rat, and that his special talent was most likely related to fire.
However, the bloodline stone of the Treasure-Seeking Rat tribe shows that the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue gave birth to three more Treasure-Seeking Rat cubs for Li Miao.
Two of them are also atavistic bloodlines!
Even more surprisingly, one of them was a female cub!
Although people don't understand what female genes can produce more offspring with atavistic bloodlines, what data, or what biological science it is.
However, they have plenty of experience.
If the atavistic bloodline is male, it must find a very excellent female to have a chance of giving birth to an atavistic bloodline.
However, if the female offspring has an atavistic bloodline, as long as a superior male is found, the atavistic bloodline can definitely be passed on!
The adorable, atavistic offspring is a female swallowing rat, while another atavistic offspring is named Li Siruan, even though he is a male offspring, the totem on the bloodline stone shows that he is a bronze rat.
However, it soon became clear from the bloodline stone that they were ordinary treasure-hunting rat totems.
Even the orcs and guards they left behind in the orc city all told the same story.
They could see very clearly that the second child Ruan Xiyue gave birth to for Li Miao was of ordinary treasure-hunting rat blood.
Although one of them is female, she is a female of the common treasure-hunting rat bloodline.
The fourth brother held the animal hide scroll, remained silent for a moment, and shook his head: "No. Is it possible that the Beast God used some method to conceal these things?"
The elder of the Treasure-Hunting Rat tribe nodded, and although he had set up soundproofing arrays in the house, he still lowered his voice: "That's what we think too!"
"After all, the Black Dog Tribe and the Tanuki Tribe are ridiculous. Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue once wanted to form a marriage alliance with them, but they looked down on her."
"However, the Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue said that the herbal soup could be used to increase the birth rate of female offspring. It seems that they have some ulterior motives!"
The elder of the Treasure-Hunting Rat tribe leaned closer to the fourth prince and whispered, "Fourth Prince, what our tribe thinks is, should you condescend to go to Beast City and curry favor with Holy Consort Ruan Xiyue? With your celestial beauty..."
The fourth brother narrowed his eyes and tapped the table with his fingers intermittently.
He sighed, "Forget it! She definitely doesn't like me. Let's not let this affect that orc named Limiao and alienate him from our tribe. That would be like trying to steal a chicken and losing the rice instead!"
The elder of the Treasure-Hunting Rat tribe frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded regretfully in resignation.
The fourth brother then carefully examined the other information on the animal skin scroll.
"The conditions that Holy Mother Ruan Xiyue offered to our Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe are quite good. Even though the requirement that we plant cotton is a bit high, the returns they can give us are also very high!"
The elder of the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe frowned: "It's because the conditions she offered were too good that we always felt... there might be a trap behind this!"
The fourth brother looked at it carefully for a long time and thought about it for a long time before he was surprised to discover the mystery in it.
His expression was rather unpleasant; he parted his lips slightly, his face deathly pale.
The elder of the Treasure-Hunting Rat tribe was so nervous he dared not breathe, his face even paler than the fourth prince's. He asked tremblingly, "Fourth...Fourth Prince...Saintess Ruan Xiyue...Saintess she..."
The fourth brother shook his head: "If we work diligently according to the contract she made with us, she won't treat us unfairly."
The Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the fourth brother added, "But from now on, the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe will be Ruan Xiyue's possession. The deeper our cooperation with Hope Beast City becomes, the more intertwined our interests will be, and our Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe will have to change its surname to Ruan."
The Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe, having not let their guard down, regained their focus.
The elder of the Treasure-Hunting Rat tribe stared wide-eyed at the fourth brother, looking completely bewildered.
The fourth brother thought for a moment, then rubbed his forehead.
"Does Ruan Xiyue offer good benefits to the guards, textile workers, cleaners, farmers, and sheep herders in their Beast City?"
The elder of the Treasure-Hunting Rat tribe thought for a moment, then quickly found a scroll of animal hide recording these messages and handed it to the fourth brother.
After reading it, the fourth brother nodded and looked at the elder of the Treasure-Seeking Rat Tribe: "Elder, if you were a beastman with some talent but no hope of advancement, would you be willing to join Hope Beast City?"
The elder of the Treasure-Hunting Rat tribe seemed to understand something. He remained silent for a long time before finally slumping down in the chair opposite the fourth brother.
The overburdened chair creaked and groaned between its wooden branches.
The elder of the Treasure-Hunting Rat Tribe nodded: "I understand. If it were me, I would also join Hope Beast City."
The fourth brother nodded: "Therefore, all the tribes and beast cities that cooperate with Ruan Xiyue, all those beastmen with ambition, will eventually flow to Ruan Xiyue's Hope Beast City. Ruan Xiyue didn't use any underhanded tactics; her scheme was blatantly open!"
“People used to laugh at her, hoping that the Beast City would be designed to be so grand, even comparable in size to the Holy City.”
"Now, I'm worried that Beast City will become the most prosperous city in the future, and all the orcs who are used to living there will find it hard to come back. They won't be able to get used to living there."
