70. Shu Shu’s Granary Card

The Fallen Beast Planet was a primitive planet that produced life. It was already discovered by the Beastman Empire several thousand years ago, but from the point of view of the Beastman Empire, the planet was simply a planet with little value.  
   
There were hardly any minerals on this planet. The water source was scarce; the land was barren, and the air was extremely poor. Furthermore, most of the living creatures here were either poisonous or very ferocious.
   
If such a planet was not too far from the capital star, the beastmen would definitely clean it up and spend money to transform it into a habitable planet, but unfortunately, this planet was very far from the capital star.
   
Not only was this planet very far away, there were not even any minerals stars in its vicinity! In other words, this whole star field had no development value at all!
   
Although Gass Planet was remote, but there were people living there. Its natural resources were abundant, and its environment was beautiful. What did this planet have? After the Beastman Empire carried out a series of explorations on the planet, they abandoned it.
   
This planet was ignored just like that for so many years. Until one day, the people of the Beastman Empire started to think of it again and, by chance, figured out its role—to be used for a place of exile for the fallen beasts.
   
In the Beastman Empire, because of this and that reason, there would always appear a few fallen beasts every year, and the beastmen who had became fallen beasts would always make some troubles.
   
Some fallen beasts might have been framed so they would lose their beast cores. They naturally wanted to take revenge.
   
Some fallen beasts were feared by their families and spouses after the accident and would feel it was unbearable. Later, their temperaments would greatly change, and they might get violent and start hurting people.
   
Moreover, after some beastmen became fallen beasts, they would feel that the world was unfair and directly become anti-social . . . .
   
Even if these problems did not exist, fallen beasts were also very energetic, and if their energies were not expended, they would have problems.
   
After much deliberation, the Beastman Empire finally considered that it would be better to just find a planet, put all the fallen beasts on that planet, and let them live by themselves and be far from other beastmen and sub-beastmen.
   
A planet with good environment, the parliament was certainly reluctant to specially obtain it for the fallen beasts to live. A planet with overly bad environment, the fallen beasts would not be able to live there . . . . Later, they thought of the Fallen Beast Planet.
   
The environment of this planet could be said to be very poor. It was very difficult for sub-beastmen to live here, but it was no problem for fallen beasts to live.
   
As for the problem of the sparse vegetation on this planet, most of the native living organisms could not be eaten anyway . . . .
   
Whenever the Beastman Empire transported the fallen beasts, they would prepare some food for those fallen beasts. And if the fallen beasts’ families also prepared some stuff for the fallen beasts, they would help delivering it.
   
In this way, even if the exiled fallen beasts did not start hunting immediately, they would not go hungry for at least a short time. As for a long time . . . the Beastman Empire was unable to take care of them for that long.
   
In the overgrown rock desert on the Fallen Beast Planet, two huge lions were fighting. They pounced on each other again and again, tearing at each other with the claws, as if they had some sort of deep animosity and big hate toward each other.
   
The roars of the lions rang out incessantly, and the two lions rolled into a ball. Eventually, the lion with a slightly lighter hair pressed the lion with a darker hair under its body.
   
The lighter-haired lion lay flat on the back of the other lion, biting the other lion's neck and letting out a low growl. The lion below lowered its head and growled back.
   
Then the lion on top began to intimately lick the hair of the lion below. At the same time, the two lions also began to rub against each other, rubbing and rubbing . . . .
   
A certain part of the lion on top was getting bigger and bigger and, at the same time, began to penetrate the butt of the lion below . . . .
   
In the rock desert, the two lions started doing something unspeakable, and the roars they let out also became a little cheerful and lighthearted.
   
Not far away, a few different kinds of beasts were gathering together. Some were lying on the ground lazily, while some were peeking or openly watching the “fight” between the two lions nearby.
   
The movements of the two lions were getting bigger and bigger, and their roars were even louder than the ones they had let out when fighting before.
   
At this moment, a huge white wolf with glossy fur and whose build was not a bit smaller than those two lions appeared under a boulder on the side. The white wolf, walking from the shadow into the sunshine, suddenly let out an ear-splitting howl.
  
This sound was very loud and even overwhelmed the roars of the two lions. The lion on top was scared by this sudden baying. Trembling, a certain organ slipped out from the body of the lion below, and some liquid dripped down to the ground.
   
The lion snarled at the white wolf resentfully, but when the white wolf looked at it sullenly, it couldn't help but shrink into a ball.
   
A tiger lying down not far away saw this scene. Tail swinging, its appearance was like watching a good drama.
   
"Aroo!" The white wolf howled again. The originally lazy animals immediately got up from the ground and then gathered around the white wolf. Even the two lions who had just fought fiercely a moment ago did not dare to disregard it.
   
The white wolf glanced at the beasts in front of him and then ran to the distance.
   
"Isn’t there plenty of food now? What's wrong with the boss? Why will he go hunting?" The lighter-colored lion issued a low-pitched grunt to his partner.
   
"I guess his mood isn’t good." The other lion let out a similar grunt.
   
"What happened?" The lion who asked first was puzzled. "We’ve just received a batch of supplies, and this batch of supplies is even richer than ever. The boss should be happy right now." Saying so, he couldn't help but lick his lips. Every year when the Beastman Empire's spaceship came here, it would deliver a lot of food. But this time, the food was much more than ever. It was said that the imperial family had spent some money to add a lot more . . . . They were all very happy; only their boss seemed to be in a bad mood.
  
"It’s said that the boss’ old friend didn’t send him anything!" The lion who had just been pushed down was not happy and gave his partner a quick glare.
   
The two lions were muttering on the back, and the white wolf in front somewhat heard something and turned his head in a very fierce manner.
   
The two lions at once didn't dare to say anything anymore. At this moment, they suddenly saw a shooting star far in the sky.
   
"Rowr!" Was this a meteor?
   
A big group of beasts in the rock desert suddenly looked up, and their movements were spontaneously in sync.
   
Scalded by the high temperature, Shu Shu woke up.
  
Although the lifepod had the capability to produce oxygen, but after a hole was torn on it, a part of the oxygen-producing function was broken, so that the air inside the lifepod was getting less and less.
   
A few days of fatigue and thin air made Shu Shu in a daze and, unbeknownst to him, slowly lose consciousness. Only after feeling the surrounding temperature getting higher to the point of burning hot did he become wide awake.
  
He was wide awake, but Ian and Jones were still half conscious. Upon seeing this, Shu Shu crawled over with a stagger. While sending his spiritual power that had just recovered a little into their bodies, he cried out, "Mother! Mother!"
   
Ian and Jones finally woke up.
   
Before going into the lifepod, they had not eaten anything for several days and had also been ill-treated. Their complexions were very ugly, and their conditions were even worse than Shu Shu’s. If it were not for Shu Shu injecting them with spiritual power as well as stuffing them with a bit of food, maybe they were already dead.
   
After waking up and feeling the increasing temperature in the lifepod, the faces of the two men immediately changed. Ian asked with a hoarse voice, "What’s going on?"
   
"I don't know. Edgar’s fine, right?" Shu Shu turned toward the area on the lifepod that had a hole torn into it before and saw it covered with a layer of snake scales now. It was obviously Edgar outside, using his own body to protect the entire lifepod so they were not exposed to the universe.
   
Shu Shu had given all his spiritual power to Edgar before he lost consciousness. Edgar was still alive at that time, but now . . . .
   
Shu Shu wanted to send some spiritual power into Edgar to make Edgar feel a bit better, but after he extended his hand, he remembered that he had no spiritual power at all now. He could only lower his hand again in regret.
   
At this moment, a sound of violent crash was suddenly heard, and it seemed like the entire lifepod was smashed . . . . Although Shu Shu firmly grabbed hold onto the things around, but because of the huge impact, he was still sent flying, and his head smashed into the cabin wall in the end. The knock opened a gash on his head.
