Chapter 305: The hidden dangers of [Secret Realm], the beast tide is coming!


    When Shane said the name "Index", it was like throwing a pebble into the puddle.


    Invisible and illusory ripples began to ripple throughout the [Secret Realm].


    Any creature with a keener sense of inspiration can feel the existence of these ripples. It seems that some kind of indescribable change is taking place in the [Secret Realm].


    As the master of the [Rhine Secret Realm], Xia En has a deeper feeling about this.


    Something dawned on him.


    This ripple is the resonance between the matter of "naming a newborn" and the [Rhine Secret Realm].


    This small matter alone would not have had an impact on the entire [Secret Realm].


    But this matter is actually quite special.


    This is the first newborn of the Yongyue tribe in the [Rhine Secret Realm], and it was named by Xia En, the [Lord of the Rhine].


    You know, in this world, the name itself has special power.


    Somehow, it was equivalent to Xia En helping the [Yue Ying Clan] to set up an [Anchor Point] in the [Rhine Secret Realm], which touched the will of the [Secret Realm].


    To use a more fantasy term, it is the great road that fits this world.


    All in all, from now on, the fate of the [Moon-Yong Clan] will be closely linked to the [Rhine Secret Realm].


    It also means that this race has officially become an ethnic group in the [Rhine Secret Realm].


    At the same time, text flashed on the panel.


    [Exploration degree +3%! 】


    "Eh? Lord Holy Son..."


    After the invisible ripples dissipated, Sha Jingjing clenched her fists and said with some surprise.


    "It always feels like...my strength seems to have gotten a little stronger?"


    As a qualified warrior, Sha Jingjing has strong control over her body and is well aware of her own qualities.


    That’s why you can notice the changes in your body at the first time.


    Sha Jingjing was not the only one. Soon, the people of the Yongyue clan outside the house also heard exclamations of surprise.


    "I can jump higher and run faster!"


    "Holy Son, I actually made a breakthrough!"


    "What happened to that fluctuation just now? Is it a gift from Lord Xia En?"


    This statement was immediately affirmed by many tribesmen, and people agreed one after another.


    "Yes, that must be the gift of the Holy Son!"


    "Thank you to the Son! Praise the Son!"


    Such voices became more and more intense, even faintly carrying a hint of fanaticism.


    The corners of Xia En''s mouth trembled slightly, not knowing what to say.


    However, he probably guessed the reason why the people of the [Yongyue Clan] were strengthened to a certain extent.


    At this time, the [Yingyue Tribe] has been regarded as a member of the [Rhine Secret Realm], and will naturally receive some preferential treatment from [The Will of the Secret Realm].


    The reasoning behind this is exactly the same as when Xia En was resisted by the [Secret Realm] in [The Furnace Secret Realm].


    But at this time, Sha Jingjing clearly misunderstood something. She opened her eyes wide and murmured to herself.


    "Could it be that... giving birth to a child will make you stronger?"


    Soon, Sha Jingjing looked at Xia En and said excitedly: "Master Xia En, let''s have a baby too!"


    "I am in good health! The child I will give birth to will definitely be very healthy!"


    "Oh no, maybe we can have a few more children? At least five, six, seven or eight..."


    Hearing this, the corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched even more.


    Isn’t this reason for having a child too hasty?


    Do you think children are wolf cubs who just need to be born and not taken care of?


    Even if Sha Jingjing is like this, Xia En can trick her into giving birth to a litter!


    Martha on the side couldn''t help but chuckle when she heard this.


    She used to be in Sha Jingjing''s tribe, so she has a very good relationship with Sha Jingjing.


    In Martha''s heart, she also hopes that Sha Jingjing can form a closer relationship with Lord Shengzi.


    On the one hand, they are both handsome and handsome, and they seem to be a perfect match.


    Sha Jingjing is a saint, and Xia En is a saint. In terms of status, they seem to be a match made in heaven.


    On the other hand, after the tree people moved into the [Rhine Secret Realm], Martha realized that other races would definitely enter the [Rhine Secret Realm] one after another in the future.


    As time goes by, conflicts, large and small, will definitely arise between different races.


    For example, the distribution of resources and territory.


    If Sha Jingjing can become Lord Xia En''s wife, perhaps Xia En will give preferential treatment to the [Yongyue Clan] because of this status.


    It''s better than those little vixens from other races climbing into the Holy Son''s bed first, right?


    Of course, Martha only dared to run these thoughts around in her head, but never said them out loud.


    Xia En didn''t know what Martha was thinking, but he just felt that basic education and physical education for the [Yongyue Clan] needed to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.


    Thinking of this, Xia En said: "By the way, I also brought a batch of books with me this time, which are very suitable for enlightening young children."


    "Sha Jingjing, help me send it to [Rhine College] later and keep it carefully."


    "This matter is very important, do you understand?"


    The so-called [Rhine College] is the college that Xia En ordered the people of [Yongyue Clan] to establish in [Rhine City].


    Xia En, who has past life experience, knows the importance of education very well.


    Especially when the [Yongyue Tribe] is still in a quite barbaric and ignorant stage.


    -With the harsh environment of [Island of Sand], it is obviously unrealistic to require [Yueyue Clan] to achieve such an in-depth education.


    They are better at fighting than studying.


    The experience passed down from generation to generation by high priests and saints is often more inclined to actual combat and some basic common sense.


    This kind of education method is of course understandable in [Sand Island], but when it comes to [Rhine Secret Realm], it should be changed according to local conditions.


    Otherwise, after [Rhine City] has grown, the [Moon-Yong Clan] will still be in a barbaric state, which is obviously unjustifiable, right?


    In fact, during this period, Xia En purchased a large number of books from [Liu Li Island] for this reason.


    Sha Jingjing heard the seriousness in Xia En''s words and nodded heavily.


    "I understand, I promise to complete the task!"


    But soon, Sha Jingjing asked in a low voice: "Master Shengzi, do you really not want to consider having a child with me first?"


    The corner of Xia En''s mouth twitched even more, but he felt that talking to her would encourage this trend, so he simply turned his head and said to Martha.


    "I have another gift for her."


    He looked at the little baby girl in Martha''s arms and said softly.


    "This little girl will become the starting point of a new chapter for the [Moon-Yong Clan] in the [Rhine Secret Realm]."


    "I wish you can thrive and bring new vitality to [Rhine Secret Realm]."


    As he spoke, Shane stretched out his hand and placed a branch with a faint blood color on Index''s body.


    This branch naturally comes from the [Crimson Ancient Tree].


    Of course, this is a section of branch that the ancient tree took the initiative to break apart after Xia En and the [Crimson Ancient Tree] exchanged their wills. Since it is regarded as a sacred tree by the [Yongyue Clan], the [Crimson Ancient Tree] also wants to provide for this newborn. Do something.


    The body of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] is full of vitality, and carrying its branches around will help Index grow and develop.


    Not only that, because this [Crimson Ancient Tree] has never drawn blood, there is no negative emotions or dirty secret power in its body.


    On the contrary, its branches also have the effect of calming and concentrating the mind.


    Even when necessary, this branch can block one or two weak attacks for Index. It can be said to be a very high-quality protective charm.


    "Hey~~~"


    The little baby opened his eyes curiously and ignorantly.


    Perhaps out of instinct, she stretched out her little hand and took the initiative to grab the branch.


    The next moment.


    The branch suddenly softened and wrapped around Index''s wrist like a small snake, as if it had a life of its own.


    That was the remaining will of the [Crimson Ancient Tree] at work.


    Index didn''t feel scared either, instead she started laughing.


    "Is this... a branch of a sacred tree?"


    Seeing this scene, Martha couldn''t help but look happy, excited and grateful.


    "Thank you, Lord Holy Son!"


    "I will never forget your kindness."


    Judging from her posture, if it weren''t for the fact that she had just given birth, she might have wanted to kneel down and bow down.


    Shane quickly stopped Martha''s movements and said, "It''s just a small thing."


    "You have a good rest. I have other things to do, so I''ll leave first."


    Soon, Xia En and Sha Jingjing walked out of the room.


    The nearby Yongyue tribe members were still looking at him with awe, admiration, and gratitude.


    What''s more, he knelt down to him, his face full of enthusiasm, and he muttered words such as "Thank you to the Holy Son" and "Praise to the Holy Son".


    Shane looked strange.


    At this moment, he also realized another problem in [Rhine Secret Realm].


    With Xia En''s various constructions of [Rhine City] and various measures for [Yueyong Clan], his reputation is getting higher and higher.


    However this leads to…


    [Yongyue Tribe] seems to no longer regard Xia En as a person or a king, but as a god!


    In particular, Xia En is also the prophesied Holy Son of the [Yongyue Tribe].


    It further deepens this trend of "deification".


    To be honest, Xia En didn''t know whether this situation was good or bad.


    In the short term, this will indeed help promote the various orders of Shane and facilitate the construction and management of [Rhine City].


    But if things continue like this, there won''t be anything like the "Xia En Cult" or the "Son of the Holy Son Cult" in the future, right?


    Xia En didn''t know how to deal with this situation for the time being, so he could only take it one step at a time.


    Just as Shane was thinking about these questions in his mind.


    The former high priest of the Moon Yong Clan hurriedly walked over, his expression very solemn.


    "Lord Holy Son, I have important information to report!"


    This high priest is called Culuo. When Xia En is not in the [Rhine Secret Realm], most of the internal affairs of the [Yingyue Clan] are handled by him and Sha Jingjing together.


    It''s just that Sha Jingjing is more suitable for fighting than management, so Kuro is the real manager of the [Moon Wing Clan].


    Shane has always trusted him and regarded him as a reliable helper.


    At this time, Kuro''s serious attitude was certainly not without purpose, indicating that the situation was definitely unusual.


    Soon, Xia En and Qrow came to a place where no other people were watching and asked.


    "What happened?"


    "Lord Holy Son, we found a lot of traces of wild beast activity in the forest outside [Rhine City]."


    Although Kuro was old, he acted resolutely and quickly reported the situation to Xia En.


    "They seem to be gathering together for some special reason, and they are gradually approaching the location of [Rhine City]."


    "Not only that, but there is also unknown restlessness deep in the mine we previously excavated."


    "I speculate that in the near future, there will be a terrible beast wave sweeping [Rhine City]! We must prepare in advance!"


    After hearing these words, Xia En also looked a little solemn.


    "Tide of beasts..."


    This situation was something he didn''t expect.


    In fact, during this period, their exploration and expansion of the [Rhine Secret Realm] went extremely smoothly.


    Although there are also powerful native creatures in the [Rhine Secret Realm], under the joint efforts of the [Moon Chanting Clan] and the Tree People, most of the creatures can only be hunted.


    This is the advantage of intelligent creatures.


    If you know how to cooperate and use tools, you can hunt down beasts that are stronger than yourself.


    Of course, there are some native creatures, even rough-skinned and thick-skinned trees people don''t want to mess with.


    Fortunately, these powerful creatures often have their own territory.


    Clow has sent people to draw a map near [Rhine City] and marked the territory of these powerful creatures as a "danger zone".


    Just dodge to continue exploring.


    However, what is going on with this sign of a beast tide?


    Shane frowned in thought while his eyes swept across the panel.


    [Secret Realm Exploration Degree: 12.5%! 】


    He had a vague feeling that this tide of beasts might be related to the increasing level of exploration in recent days.


    After thinking carefully, Xia En came to a guess -


    The exploration and construction of the [Moon Ying Tribe] and the Tree People in the [Rhine Secret Realm] are creating a new home for them.


    But for the native creatures in the [Secret Realm], this is not the case.


    Their living space has been compressed, and they are hunted and felled by these "invaders".


    Just like the Indians on earth in the previous life, not only were their homes invaded, but their entire race was also massacred.


    Therefore, the native creatures in the [Secret Realm] will naturally resist the [Yueyong Clan] and the tree people.


    And this tide of beasts is the embodiment of this will to resist.


    In fact, these native creatures themselves are already part of the [Will of the Secret Realm].


    If outsiders want to truly gain a foothold in the [Rhine Secret Realm], they must defeat this part of the will to resist and gain more recognition.


    This beast tide is most likely just the beginning.


    Whenever Shane''s exploration level increases to a certain level, he will encounter a different disaster.


    Thinking about it this way, it''s a bit like "Heavenly Tribulation" in a fantasy worldview?


    Xia En gathered his thoughts and said to Kuro: "I will purchase a batch of new equipment and send it to [Rhine City] as soon as possible."


    "You also need to start building some fortifications, increase your scouting efforts, and be ready for war at any time."


    Kuro said in a deep voice: "Yes, Lord Holy Son!"


    The news of the beast tide brought a faint sense of oppression to Xia En.


    But he knew that panic was meaningless. Only step-by-step actions could get through this crisis.


    After handling this matter, Xia En returned to the [Crimson Ancient Tree] and began to arrange the ritual taught by Jian.
