Chapter 100: Injuries Stabilized
entenarian, also on the verge of death."Bold evil spirit, to actually harm ordinary people."Ripple feigned a drink, then raised her hand to form a seal, launching a stream of Xuan force that entered Y...Hao felt a little embarrassed, but the unique aroma of barbecue was so intoxicating that he couldn't resist. He stepped forward and took a slice with his claw, sending it into his mouth. Then he was conquered by the exquisite craftsmanship. He thought that Lian Yi could look upon this follower of the Black Serpent Clan because of his grilling skills.
Ripple ate the most tender part of the roasted pork belly, and drank her own homemade bone vegetable soup. She felt very satisfied. In the end, she threw a potato and sweet potato into the bonfire, roasting them over low heat as snacks.
Leave the rest to these beastmen. Sadly, one red boar couldn't satisfy the appetites of seven male beastmen. So they offered their own hunted unicorn as a gift, which appeased them. Then, these bear-like beastmen started asking Solo about the seasonings used for grilling.
The ripples picked up some potatoes and sweet potatoes from the fire, pulled out by her own hands. Seeing Hao's curious eyes, she generously broke each in half to let him try.
Although Hao felt embarrassed to take food from a female's mouth, his curiosity about the new dish got the better of him. He blushed slightly as he accepted the cooked treat and, after tasting it, his eyes lit up. Then he rubbed his fan-sized hands together and began to organize his words.
“Ripple, can this new food be shared with our bear clan In return, we can also share the new food we found.”
"Of course, I'm wandering everywhere now, just to find new food. That's the mission given to me by the Beast God."
Ripples smiled in response, then tapped her brow. The beast mark appeared clearly, as if to confirm her words were true; it even flickered once.
Hao's expression became serious when he saw the Beast Seal. He immediately clenched his right fist and performed the highest etiquette in the Beast World Continent.
"The Bear Clan welcomes the messenger of the Beast God."
Hao immediately said.
"No need to be so polite, we are all the children of the Beast God. For the sake of a better Beast World Continent, I will do my part. I will tell you about these new foods one by one. You can look for them during the hot season, and harvest them during the plentiful season."
"That's great!"
Finally, Hao let out his first smile since he managed to save himself.
Then, Ripple shifted the topic and asked directly:
"You all arrived just in time. As I understand it, this is already on the outskirts of bear territory. My followers also reminded me not to step onto your land without permission."
"Meng fought fiercely with the alligator, thrashing it from one side of the river to the other. They even pushed the fight out of our territory! That's when Duocai and I saw an opportunity to help."
Ripples meant to say that they had not rashly intervened before because the two sides were fighting too fiercely, on the other hand, because it was after all the bear clan's territory, they were not invited and it was not good to enter without permission.
"I understand your concerns, and we are very grateful for your willingness to help. The bear clan appreciates it."
Hao said that he understood the other person's actions, then sighed and continued:
"This time when Meng went out to challenge the leader of the gharial, he didn't expect to come back alive! When his clan discovered he was missing, they immediately sent us after him. But we were still too late. If it weren't for you and your followers, I'm afraid we would have truly come to see Meng off for the last time."
"Who has a grudge against that sharp-toothed crocodile"
Both the female and her young were swallowed whole by the spinosaurus.
Hao gritted his teeth and said.
After hearing this, Lian Yi immediately understood the reason for Meng's reckless disregard for life and death, fighting to the bitter end. This was a feud of killing one's wife and children.
Liàn Yī wrinkled his brow, feigning nonchalance as he asked:
Female orcs rarely leave the tribe with young ones, and even when they go out, there are others watching over them. How could two of them be killed at the same time
This incident hasn't been fully investigated yet, but it seems that a juvenile was being playful by the river, catching fish. Then they encountered a crocodile. When the female saw this, she rushed into the river without hesitation to save her young.
You also saw the size of that snout crocodile, even our male orcs would have a hard time dealing with it. She jumped in and not only failed to save her cubs, but she perished herself. When Meng's younger sister Si Tian called people to the riverbank, there was only a pool of blood left, the snout crocodile had long since disappeared.
He was badly hit, and immediately rushed down to the river to chase after the crocodile. Unfortunately, the water blocked his sense of smell, so he lost track of it. In the end, we had to forcibly bring him back to the tribe.
He quietly left the tribe the next day. When we found out, he had been gone for half a day, leaving only his crying sister, Si Tian.
The chief thought things were bad, so he sent me after it. The shaman reminded us to follow the river, because Mengo would definitely seek revenge and go to the crocodile with the sharp snout. That crocodile is very cunning; knowing that the beast people are looking for him, he won't easily come ashore. He will definitely leave the Bear Clan territory by following the river.
We chased him all the way, hearing his final roar. We wished we had two more legs! Thankfully, you're here.”
After hearing Hao's account, Lianyi felt that something was amiss. However, she was a guest and couldn't say too much. After understanding the situation, she only said:
"When females go to the riverbank, they usually wash their animal skin skirts and gather food. The places they choose would have been checked by your beastfolk repeatedly, so it's unlikely that a crocodile would get close."
Hao seemed to be taken aback by the statement, then nodded slightly before falling into deep thought.
The ripples didn't disturb the other, who rose and checked their wounds again. Their breathing was much more stable than before. Then she had Hao feed them a bowl of bone broth and crawled into the fursack to rest.
It's rare to have so many orcs guarding, making Ripple feel very safe. She almost fell asleep in a second and slept until the sky was getting light. Only then did she get up, wash quickly, and check Menger's injuries.
The fierce aura was still relatively calm, and some minor scratches on his body had already scabbed over. Looking at it, she couldn't help but sigh about the beastman's powerful self-healing ability.
As usual, they gave the other party some meat soup. After a simple breakfast, the group continued on their journey. Because Meng's breath was stable, Hao felt much more relaxed. Their pace slowed down slightly, focusing mainly on stability to prevent further injury to his legs.
In this way, rushing and lagging, the group took ten days to return to the bear tribe.
Hao roared from afar, and a roar of a bear immediately echoed back. After the greeting, both sides' speed noticeably increased. Then Lian-Ri saw a squad of bear orcs coming towards Hao and his group.
Four bear clan orcs took the stretcher and walked steadily and quickly towards the shaman's residence. The crowd still glanced curiously at the combination of Ripple and Duke, and at this time Hao took the initiative to explain:
“This is the female Ripple and her followers, Yu. It was them who saved Mang first, and it was Ripple who took care of Mang's wounds along the way, allowing him to make it back to the tribe.”
Hearing this, the bear clan orcs' eyes towards Ripple and Duo softened considerably.ntain for a long time. Her parents had passed away long ago, and she didn't have any siblings. She was the kind of person who could feed herself and her family wouldn't starve. Besides, she was natur...
