Chapter 239
Ch 239 Beast Era (9.20)
XunMi was surprised. A world tree was hers!
“Is the remaining 20% for when the beast mob and YanYan tribe reconcile?” XunMi pinched BaoBao’s cheek.
[Yes, Madam Host.] BaoBao mumbled out.
Letting him go, XunMi walked back out of the cave. After the end of the rain season was the harvest banquet. The beast mob happened a little after the banquet in the original book. But she didn’t even know much details about the timing, how was she going to hint at the tribe before it was too late?
There was still roughly half a year’s time left over. But there was no wall or trenches built. The camp wasn’t a good place for battle.
“Mi, the rain season is over.” Yuan He’s voice sounded with excitement as he lifted XUnMi off the ground and spun her.
Gu Li had already run off with the other young females to dance. In these two months, she had also learned YanYan tribes’ culture.
The females’ wild vegetables were growing well. The livestock had served them well over the rain season but now there was nothing left. Yan Luo waved his hand. Everyone was to go hunt for now and commence celebrations at night.
During this rain season, there was not a single death from famine in their tribe. Everything was developing in a good direction. Everyone held high hopes for the future.
XunMi smacked Yuan He so that he would let go of her. She stood atop, looking into the distance. Her vision was able to see a few hundred kilometers ahead. But off in the distance, she thought she saw fire. Large flames raged, a glaring hint that something was going on in the distance.
“Yuan He, what is that?” She pointed in the direction of the red colored sky.
“That’s the snake tribe.” Yuan He brows also furrowed, as if disgusted.
XunMi understood. The snake tribe was often avoided in this continent, mainly because of their cold demeanors and their habbit of raising poisonous snake beasts. Due to their mischievous actions, most tribes didn’t like them.
“The skies are changing. There might not be that much time left in the peaceful era.” Sighing, she watched the fire red sky with contemplation. Her intuition was telling her that something big was going to happen soon. In the original book, the nearest future event was the conflict with the beast mob. Could it be that the conflict had been shifted ahead in time? But then how was the snake group involved?
Yuan He always treated XunMi’s words like they were imperial edicts. When he heard her ponderings, Yuan He immediately became serious. “Mi, does it have to do with the snake tribe? Don’t worry, we’ll protect our tribe.” I won’t let you get hurt. And I won’t give anyone a possibility of harming the things you want to protect.
“Let’s go back. They’re waiting for us.” XunMi began the walk down. Her white gown fluttered. Appearing behind the ashes and flames of the bonfire, it looked like she was walking on air.
“So beautiful.”
“They are a good match.”
Different voices sounded out with their well wishes.
Yuan He led XunMi towards Gu Li and headed off by himself to find his father. He wanted to discuss XunMi’s words with the chief leader.
Mu Yan started a small fire and began preparing meat for the two ladies. By the time Mu Yan had finished cooking the meat, Yuan He and Yan Luo had joined them. XunMi and Gu Li were only responsible for eating, completely ignoring the others’ conversations.
After the festival, beastmen and females alike were filled with energy as they waited to welcome the next day. In the morning, Yan Luo called for an emergency meeting.
Half a month later, they were told to transfer into the innermost valley of the back mountain. This was the place that YanYan tribe had found as a safe place after the last beast mob twenty years ago.
XunMi explored around. When everyone moved here, the system had announced that her mission was 90% done. Apparently choosing a reasonable place was worthy of points according to the system. Then was the remaining 10% the upcoming beast mob?
XunMi didn’t have to wait in suspence for her answer.
Five days later, XunMi could clearly feel the earth shaking. Hordes of behemoths led a stampede towards one direction. Even from within the valleys, XunMi could still hear the cries and roars.
Gu Li grabbed XunMi’s hand, nervously looking outside.
The chief leader stood in the front with other beastmen as defense.
XunMi squeezed Gu Li’s hand to comfort her. “They’ll be fine.”
The next day, the beast mob passed. The furious beast mob had passed so surprisingly easily. They had never seen such a miracle. Everyone credited this to XunMi.
XunMi: …this really is a misunderstanding.
From that moment on, YanYan tribe never migrated back to the front of the mountain. Instead, they began to build homes in their new territory.
Yuan He, based on his own ideas and the hints that Mi dropped, built a two story little log cabin. Sturdy, warm, with little beautiful flowers in the front.
Two years was enough time for YanYan tribe to develop and grow. Now, without XunMi and Gu Li’s hinting, the beastmen were able to solve issues on their own.
“Time passes so fast. Mi, should we prepare to expand?” Yuan He hugged XunMi and sat her down in his lap. A year ago, they were made officially into mates with the Beast God as their witness.
Gu Li and MuYan had also became an official couple during this year’s spring banquet.
“YuanHe, I’ll be by your side no matter what. Go freely do whatever you want to do.”
“Okay.” I’ll be wherever you are.
YanYan tribe embarked on a road towards domination in the beast world, establishing alliances with other tribes along the way.
By the time the next rain season came, Yuan He had solidified his position as the most powerful beastman on the continent.
