Beastmaster

Chapter 358 Soul Gathering Fruit

Hearing this, the queen immediately covered her face, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

After a while, the two returned to the hall.

The Southern Emperor seemed to have calmed down a little at this time and he had stopped crying.

But who would have thought that when they saw Jing Cangming and the other two coming out from behind.

His tears once again gushed out from the corners of his eyes like a broken pump.

Now, Yaoyao, her sworn sister, was not happy.

She came to Jing Cangming angrily like a hen.

She pinched her slender waist with both hands and looked at Jing Cangming angrily.

"Tell me! How did you bully my father!" she said angrily, as if she wanted to avenge her father.

Jing Cangming said helplessly, "Good sister, I didn't bully father. Even if I want to bully him at my level, you can't."

Looking at Jing Cangming's embarrassed and helpless expression, Yaoyao seemed to agree with what he said.

At this time, Emperor Nan stood up with the help of the Queen, looking at Jing Cangming with red and swollen eyes.

"Son! Good son! You will be my son forever!" The Southern Emperor seemed to be begging, trying to find an answer that would firm his heart.

Jing Cangming gave a bitter smile and hurried over to help the Southern Emperor, "Father, don't worry! I will be your son all my life!"

Upon hearing this, the Southern Emperor seemed to have obtained a treasure. The dark clouds immediately dispersed, and were replaced by a sunny smile.

Given this extreme contrast, outsiders would definitely find it incredible if they saw it.

In the southern continent, the Southern Emperor is known as a smiling tiger.

Who would have thought that the smiling tiger has now become a crying tiger...

After a while, the Southern Emperor's mood calmed down a lot.

As the emperor's wives and daughters, they knew that there were some things that the Southern Emperor would not tell them and they should not ask.

All in all, for the mother and daughter, as long as the Southern Emperor is fine, they are not curious about the reason.

This time, Jing Cangming and the Southern Emperor have a legitimate relationship.

The Southern Emperor was completely relieved, but to be honest, even if Jing Cangming did not agree, the Southern Emperor had no choice.

Just as he said, if a foreign country really invades, the Southern Continent will have no ability to fight back.

After all, there is no peak Beast Emperor in the Southern Continent!

"Father, I have a question," Jing Cangming asked Emperor Nan when he saw that everyone had calmed down a lot.

The Southern Emperor waved his hand and said, "Good son, just ask."

"Hehe, it's like this. I saw with my own eyes a war beast die and then turn into a soul beast in the Great Southern Wilderness. What's going on?" Jing Cangming expressed his doubts.

Although it was suspected that the problem was with the fruit, it was not confirmed after all.

Nan Huang said, "That's the problem. It's because of the Soul Gathering Fruit. That thing is specially eaten by beastmen. Beastmen who eat the Soul Gathering Fruit will turn into soul beasts after death."

"Then can we humans eat it?" Jing Cangming asked.

The Southern Emperor shook his head. "It's edible, but I can't swallow it. It's too disgusting!"

"Oh, then what will happen if the soul beast eats it?" Jing Cangming continued to ask.

Nan Huang said, "Normally, soul beasts won't eat it, because soul beasts have the same taste buds as humans, and it's simply difficult to swallow."

Jing Cangming nodded, but did not continue to ask about this question.

After thinking for a moment, he continued to ask, "Father, if my war beast eats the soul gathering fruit and dies and becomes a soul beast, will the contract between me and it be affected or changed?"

Yaoyao interrupted and said, "Let me tell you this. If your contracted beast dies after taking the Soul Gathering Fruit, it will also become a soul beast, and the contract with you will be terminated. After all, it was a war beast when the contract was signed, and after it became a soul beast, it no longer matches the contract information, so the contract will naturally be terminated."

Jing Cangming nodded to show that he understood.

Then he turned and looked at the Queen.

The queen seemed to understand what he meant and quickly shook her head and stepped back.

That’s right, Jing Cangming just wanted all his contracted beasts to take it. After all, he has not yet become a universal-level master.

If anyone has any problems during this period, this Soul Gathering Fruit can save their life.

The Queen said, "You can go back and ask everyone. Anyway, I would rather die than eat it. I guess Xiaojiu, Bingbing and Xiaowu must have the same idea as me."

Jing Cangming sighed and said, "Well, let's go back and ask everyone for their opinions."

Then the Queen stopped talking and stood behind him.

"By the way, father, I have another question," Jing Cangming continued.

The Southern Emperor said, "You can say whatever you want."

"Okay, there is no altar in the Southern Continent?" Jing Cangming raised a question that had always existed in his heart.

Indeed, since I came to the Southern Continent, I haven’t seen a single altar.

I don’t know if it’s because everyone built the village on the sea and I’m not high enough above the sea to see it.

Emperor Nan said, "So this is the problem."

Jing Cangming nodded.

"The altars in the southern continent are almost all on the seabed. Since this thing is useless, no one puts it in the village, unlike the east, west and north."

Jing Cangming looked at the Southern Emperor in surprise. He did not continue to follow the Southern Emperor's words, but asked, "Useless? What does that mean?"

The Southern Emperor chuckled and said, “The altar seems to be sacred and inviolable in everyone’s heart. At the same time, it also provides souls for everyone. However, the altar is not what everyone sees.”

Jing Cangming listened carefully, seeming to be unable to believe that there would be humans who would think that the altar was useless without guidance.

"A few years ago, there was a village in the Southern Wilderness that was invaded by sea beasts and foreign countries at the same time. Fortunately, we sent troops in time, so the village was saved, but the altar was damaged and in ruins. The village was almost in despair at that time, because without the altar, it was impossible for beast generals to appear in the village."

The Southern Emperor seemed to be lost in his memories, his eyes a little straight, "But not long after, a beast general with dual attributes was born in the village. This news shocked the entire southern continent at the time, and people were curious. Some people began to leave the village to try to give birth. After several attempts, many people successfully gave birth to beast generals. So from that time on, we discovered that the altar was not what everyone said. Gradually, the altar was exiled to the bottom of the sea. After all, this thing was too heavy, and putting it in the village was also a huge project for the village."

Having said that, the Southern Emperor's eyes returned to normal and he looked at Jing Cangming.

Jing Cangming smiled bitterly and said, "So that's how it is. I didn't expect that the Southern Continent would be the first to discover this problem."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Yaoyao seemed to have heard something.

Jing Cangming did not hide it, "Indeed, the altar not only does not help in increasing the number of beast generals, but on the contrary, it will absorb some children with weaker general souls and turn them directly into ordinary people."

Hearing this, the three of them were shocked.

Originally, the Southern Continent was shocked when it learned that the altar was of no help to the Beast General.

But now you tell me, it has the opposite effect?

But it didn't take long before the three of them showed a look of satisfaction.

The Southern Emperor smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. Anyway, the people of the Southern Continent no longer worship it. It doesn't matter whether it is beneficial or harmful to everyone."

Jing Cangming nodded slowly, indicating his agreement with the Southern Emperor's words.

"Father, since this altar is of no use, why not give it to me?" Jing Cangming asked tentatively.

The Southern Emperor chuckled and said, "Okay, it's all yours. It's of no use to us anyway."

Jing Cangming was very happy, and Emperor Nan and the Queen did not ask too many questions.

But Yaoyao couldn't help being curious, "What do you want this for?"

"Decorative world ring," Jing Cangming looked at Yaoyao with a smile on his face. This sentence came out of his mouth, as if he had already thought about how to answer.

Yaoyao looked at Jing Cangming's serious expression and murmured, "Weird guy."

Afterwards, they chatted for a while and then left.

Late at night, Jing Cangming sat on the edge of the bed, holding the Chaos Ball he got during the day in his hand, and kept looking at it.

"What exactly is this thing used for?" Jing Cangming was still confused about it.

This chaos ball is also strange. In the world ring, it will not be stored in any hall.

Instead, it keeps circling in the air, unpredictable.

Moreover, it usually emits white light, but once it falls into Jing Cangming's hand, it will start to change color continuously.

If we say that this thing was taken over from the Southern Emperor, there would not be such a strange scene when this thing was in the Southern Emperor's hands.

For things like this, it’s better to ask the old guys.

Then, Jing Cangming closed his eyes and came into his own consciousness space.

"Uncle!" Jing Cangming shouted loudly as soon as he came in.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm here, you're praising me so much that I'm deafened," the uncle covered his ears and slowly emerged from the darkness.

"Uncle! Hehe," Jing Cangming called with a grin.

"What's wrong? I'm sleeping soundly," the uncle said as he yawned and stretched.

Jing Cangming held the chaos ball carefully in both hands, then leaned forward and said, "Uncle, look quickly, what is this thing?"

The uncle looked at the ball in Jing Cangming's hand that kept changing color and immediately became interested.

He came to Jing Cangming and looked carefully at the ball in his hand.

Then, the uncle shook his head and said, "I have never seen this thing before. Where did you get it from?"

"It was given to me by the Southern Emperor. He said that after you possess the twelve attributes, you will be able to enter."

"Oh, this thing should be a treasure, but I don't know what kind of treasure it is. I can feel that it is very messy inside," the uncle said, touching his chin and frowning.

Upon hearing this, Jing Cangming felt like a deflated ball, "Oh, I'm so worried."
