Ch 225 Beast Era (9.6)

Jacob spoke up, explaining with a tone of self-blame. They were at least lucky to have bumped into an angel today.

XunMi nodded her head in understanding. Jia was someone with abilities. In this world, those with abilities had a weak physique. That was why he hadn’t been able to dodge the attack.

She sighed. There were still so many dangers roaming in the Central Forest. “If you come here again, you should bring herbal potions that will keep the wild beasts away. That way you can avoid a lot of unnecessary troubles.

XunMi felt like this was a good time to pass on the knowledge that she knew. That way she wouldn’t have to go find someone to teach again when they got back to the tribe.

“There’s herbal potions that keep wild beasts away? How magical.” Xi said with surprise. The rest also turned to look at XunMi, their expressions asking for an explanation.

XunMi nodded her head. “In this forest, there are many different kinds of herbs. They all have different uses. You probably noticed that from last night up until now, no wild beasts have appeared around here. That’s because I sprinkled vast amounts of powder that expels beasts away. I manufactured the formula myself. When the wild beasts smell this scent, they will feel uncomfortable. Therefore, they wouldn’t come in this direction.” She stood up and walked into her cave, bringing back out a small basket. XunMi had made this when she was bored one day. For this thing, she had practically grated her hands. Luckily, the final product was still satisfactory. It was through this experience that XunMi learned what survival skills were referring to.

She opened up a small bag, revealing a white powder inside. As soon as the bag opened up, the pungent smell immediately dispersed outwards.

“My heavens! If we have this powder, then females going into the mountains to pick fruits wouldn’t need to worry about encountering wild beasts.” Jacob said excitedly. He immediately thought of his mother, who went to the mountains everyday. Although beast men regularly scoured the mountains for any dangerous wild beasts, but there were still incidents where bad luck led to females being attacked by wild beasts and leaving to go meet the beast god early.

XunMi’s opinion of Jacob grew. As expected, the beast men in the beast era were respectable: loyal, brave, and responsible.

“I’ll make sure to give you a drawing and description of the herbal medicine so that you can remember to pick some to bring back. You can use it just by drying it under the sun. It’s best to have the females wear it on their bodies. However, you need to remember to replace the powder regularly. Every medicine has an expiration date. After this time has passed, its effects will weaken.” XunMi carefully explained the importance of the medicine.

“Mi, come back to the tribe with me.” Yuan He suddenly interrupted, grabbing onto XunMi’s hand. He couldn’t endure it any longer. Mi was too dazzling, to the point that he was afraid that others would want to steal her away.

Jacob and the others also had eyes filled with fire. A female that would so selflessly give them valuable knowledge about these treasures could only be an angel.

“Would that be alright? Would that be causing you too much trouble?” XunMi feigned embarrassment while her eyes twinkled with anticipation. So happy, she had the chance to be together with her dear husband. It would even better if she had the chance to move in directly with her husband.

“No, definitely not. Not at all.” Before Yuan He even spoke, numerous others immediately interrupted. If the rest of the tribe knew that they were bringing back an angel, they would only smile uncontrollably in response.

“Our tribe will like you alot. They are also all very kind. You will definitely like it there. Would you like to come with me?” Yuan He glared at the others before speaking up.

XunMi thought for a second before happily nodding her head. “Okay! Yuan He, thank you. I’m so glad to have met you.”

“Me too.” Being able to meet you was a gift from the Beast god. Beast god, thank you for bringing Mi to my side. I will treat her well so that she willingly stay in our tribe and stay by my side.

Because Jia had injured his intestines, every movement was a bit difficult for him. While listening to everyone else speak, he could only think to himself. Although he had been severely injured during this excursion, it was worth it.

“Then in a week, I’ll return with you guys. Jia’s injuries will put him on bedrest for a few more days. This will help with his recovery. If we move out now and something happens internally, there will be heavy consequences for him.” XunMi solemnly spoke. She didn’t know enough about the beast man’s typical recovery times to make quick judgments. Therefore, a conservative recovery period would be about a week. Luckily, that was also a good time for her to use a few people to help her collect some things. That way, she could make sure to bring along all the lingshi mushroom and ginseng she had found.

The second day, XunMi began her herb picking enterprise, leaving Xi and Gavin to look after Jia.

Yuan He and Jacob followed behind XunMi, with Jacob deciding to use this opportunity to pick some Cui fruit.

As XunMi stood underneath the so-called Cui fruit tree, she blinked. Wasn’t this just a green apple tree? Although the size was slightly larger than a regular apple tree, it was still the same exact shape. After collecting a basket full of Cui fruits, the group continued forward.

XunMi walked around arrogantly: sweeping clean everything she came near. Mushrooms and tree fungi. As long as they were edible, nothing escaped her claws. Although their mission had been to find lingzhi mushrooms, their goal soon became to find all sorts of delicious food ingredients.

While returning back after a long day, XunMi self-reflected. She shouldn’t be like this. Tomorrow, she definitely needed to remember to stick to business. She shouldn’t get so distracted.

The original one week recovery time was shortened to two days. Beast men’s healing process was too powerful. In the course of two days, Jia’s wound had already healed. The night right after XunMi stitched the injury, the wound had already began scabbing over. When XunMi used her spiritual energy to observe Jia’s internal conditions, she couldn’t find any issues in recovery. It was a frighteningly fast recovery rate.

But it also made sense. Living in an environment full of dangers, they needed some kind of OP hack to survive.

When the time finally came to return to YanYan Tribe, XunMi’s heart was beating out of her chest with excitement. BaoBao had told her that they were just about a month away from the start of the book’s plot. At the moment, she didn’t need to do anything. All she needed to do was wait for the female lead to arrive. At that time, XunMi planned on using her identity as a fellow villager from the same hometown to bring the female lead to her side. Then, she’ll slowly lecture her so that the female lead can rethink her own thought process.

As she was designing her great plan, XunMi felt a flash of white before her eyes. Then, a mighty silver wolf obstructed the rest of her vision. The silver wolf was much taller than her. But it was currently using its large head to nudge XunMi’s leg. Its tail continuously swept from right to left, as if it were a husky anticipating its owner’s praise.

Snapping back from her thoughts, XunMi seriously took in the sight of the silver wolf before her. If she was guessing correctly, this was Yuan He’s animal form.
