Forsaken Immortals Chapter 313: Pets or Food?

Chapter 313: Pets or Food?

"We should be out of the forest soon." Bai Rouyun's voice sounded gently among the rustling leaves as she led their group forward.

They had been traveling through the forest for a few days already, and fortunately their decision to head north seemed to be right.

Usually, forests such as this one were split into various zones with more challenging terrain and a higher density of beasts the closer to the center you got. Often, many would not manage to get to the deeper parts of the forests, and thus the danger would increase exponentially the further in one went.

However, after their group began heading north, they quickly found that the beasts they encountered were seemingly getting weaker and weaker, and none of them seemed to have any intellectual abilities and relied fully on their instincts to survive.

Such beasts were naturally caught for food, and Bai Rouyun also grabbed a whole group of cute Moon Jade Rabbits, which she tossed into the first layer of the Primal Chaos PaG.o.da while still being alive.

While the first layer of the Primal Chaos PaG.o.da was able to contain living beings, none of the previous owners had been interested in having cute critters running around to liven up the area.

Moon Jade Rabbits were low-ranked beasts, and their intelligence was only slightly better than the average mortal domesticated animal.

Bai Rouyun found these cute little rabbits absolutely adorable, but at the same time, she had experienced hunger before, and knew that a roast rabbit was delicious. Their fur was also much softer than ordinary rabbit fur, so keeping these little critters around was very practical.

She also did not have to fear for them growing stronger within the Primal Chaos Dimension. Although the first floor of the paG.o.da was useful for maturing herbs at record speed, the beasts were not included in the formations.

While their speed of advancement would be swifter than in the outside world, they were still low-ranked beasts, and thus their talent was limited.

"Do you think we should consider venison too?" Bai Rouyun could sense that they had almost reached the borders of the forest, but she was still considering whether she should capture a few more beasts and rear them inside the dimension. She was, after all, quite keen on eating meat.

"No. We do not have an enclosure to keep them in check. If you keep adding beasts to the dimension randomly, it is hard to say they will not eat all your herbs."

All of her children were eager to capture more beasts, but Xiao Bao slowly made them regain their senses. Although it would be nice to have these living beasts in the dimension, it would be very bad if they consumed the plants that they had been looking after for a long time already.

The first floor of the Primal Chaos PaG.o.da was able to shorten a whole year of growth into one day, but the stronger she became, the older the herbs needed to be, and for now, she had to get her hands on herbs aged by a minimum of five hundred years to fulfill the requirements she had.

Even to her, five hundred days was something she dared not risk casually by letting too many beasts enter the dimension.

Bai Rouyun looked at the many delicious beasts that were walking by with regret in her eyes, but she could only sigh as she continued on her way out of the forest. It would not be too late to capture these beasts after a few enclosures had been built in her Primal Chaos Dimension to keep them securely away from her herbs.

"Mother, please remember your image." Xiao Bao said with a bit of exasperation in his voice as he looked at her expression that only lacked drooling while looking at the beasts.

"I don't need to care about my image when the only ones around me are my children." Bai Rouyun snorted with arrogance, but she finally withdrew her eyes and happily continued her advance.

"There seems to be someone fighting up front." Bai Rouyun noticed a disturbance after they walked for half a day. The forest was thinning out, which made the sounds of fighting clearer and clearer.

"There are not many strong beasts around here, or are there?" As they looked around, Xiao Mao could not help but frown.

The sounds of fighting were intense, and the beasts they had encountered recently were all weak, most were not even able to cultivate.

It was reasonable to expect that these beasts were unable to put up much of a fight, so how could the sounds they produced be this shocking?

"Do you want to take a look or walk around?" Bai Rouyun was quite curious about the ones fighting as she was still new to the Wus.h.i.+ Continent, but she also considered her children's feelings.

She knew herself well, and was perfectly aware that most of the time, her decisions brought trouble to those around her. It might even become dangerous, so while she did not mind endangering herself, she had to consider if the others were willing to risk their own safety to satisfy her curiosity.

"I want to look!" Xiao Jin was the first to answer, and while she was somewhat sweet and innocent in mind, her interest in watching dramatical scenarios unfold was also unrivaled.

So far, she had only watched them from within the Primal Chaos Dimension, but now that she and Xiao Bao had left the treasure realm behind, she wanted to experience the difference in the two ways of enjoying watching things unfold.
