Chapter 106 Pulley Systems

"Is she really a female from the Mountain Fire Eagle tribe?"

"The last female of the High Mountain Fire Eagle tribe?"

A colorful female parrot flew nearby, observing Nan Zhisui.

"Female Crimson Eagle, why don't you transform into a bird form and show me?"

Nan Zhisui: "..."

With Chi Xiao not by his side, he couldn't activate the Moon-Drawing-Starlight ability and couldn't transform.

She slowly hid behind Han Feng, refusing to interact with the females to avoid giving herself away.

Han Feng noticed that this beautiful little female was leaning on him, and his heart started pounding.

The Mountain Fire Eagle, a female of the same race as her brother, is a rare species...

Did she fall for him?

If you like it, it's not impossible.

Han Feng's ears turned slightly red as he stood in front of Nan Zhisui and said, "This is the first time the little female has come to the tribe, so please don't frighten her."

A voluptuous, brown-haired female eagle-orc landed on a branch. Eagle Dream said coolly, "Hanfeng, you're quite protective of her. What, you like her?"

Han Feng said with a strange expression, "Don't talk nonsense."

Yingmeng's expression worsened.

In this world, females are scarce and males are abundant. Females can form contracts with and control males, so although countless males will pursue females for the purpose of reproduction.

However, it is also normal for females to pursue powerful males.

However, powerful males, especially male beastmen with the strength of a four-striped beast general or above, often refuse to form mates because they do not want to lose their freedom and be controlled by females.

Eagle Dream is one of the few female eagle-beastmen in the tribe, and she is slightly plump. In the beastman tribe, being plump is considered beautiful, so many males in the tribe are willing to follow her and become her beastmen husbands.

She now has eight husbands, both birds and beasts.

It is said that Eagle Dream's target used to be Chi Xiao, the lord of the Eastern High Mountain Territory. When she was young, she didn't even take a single beastman as a husband, and kept pestering Chi Xiao, who was then the tribe's number one warrior.

But Chi Xiao never accepted her invitation to become her partner.

Until one day, Chi Xiao returned severely injured, only to find that he had already been contracted and was holding a bird egg in his hand.

That very night, Eagle Dream was devastated and simultaneously formed contracts with five male bird-beastmen.

She gave up on Chixiao, but she hadn't given up on Hanfeng, the tribe's second warrior and Chixiao's half-brother.

Hanfeng, the tribe's second-strongest warrior, also had many female suitors, but he only wanted to become stronger, and his attention was entirely focused on surpassing his brother. Therefore, he never thought about finding a mate.

He Xian, carrying Huo Jun on his back, flew over from a distance and stood in a rather inconspicuous corner.

He Xian was quietly explaining the situation to Huo Jun. "Young Master, this female seems to be of the same clan as you, both being from the Crimson Eagle clan. Ying Meng seems to be looking for trouble with this female."

Six-year-old Huo Jun nodded slightly, listening carefully to the sounds around him.

This was Nan Zhisui's first time visiting the bird-beast tribe. While the other beastmen were staring at her, she was also carefully observing the bird-beast people here.

This female eagle-orc seems to have ill intentions.

Concealing his jealousy, Yingmeng said, "Actually, it's quite simple to verify whether the female in front of us is a member of the High Mountain Fire Crimson Eagle clan. The High Mountain Fire Crimson Eagle clan is naturally skilled in fighting and possesses great strength."

I will acknowledge this foreign female orc if she can move this stone from the ground to the tree.

The stones on the ground weren't particularly large, but they weren't small either.

Even just lifting it requires some effort. Moving it up a tree, only strong bird-beastmen could do that.

The bird-beastmen began to whisper among themselves and start discussing it.

"Indeed, just like our lord, he is a natural strongman."

"As a female Fire Eagle, this stone shouldn't have made things too difficult for her, right?"

"As long as she can move the stones from the ground to the tree as Eagle Dream said, then she is a member of the Crimson Eagle clan!"

He Xian was also quietly explaining to Huo Jun beside him.

Huo Jun asked in a low voice, "Is that rock big?"

He Xian said, "It's probably just a small stone to your father, but it might not be so to the female. Besides, I heard she can't fly, so asking her to move the stone from the ground to the tree is indeed a bit of a challenge for her."

Huo Jun nodded and continued to watch. Han Feng frowned slightly, wondering whether he should speak up for Nan Zhisui, when Nan Zhisui stepped forward, "Isn't it enough to just get the stone up the tree? Any method will do?"

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Yingmeng smiled and nodded: "Yes."

I heard that this female can't fly.

She was asked to move the stones from the ground to the tree. Imagine how awkward it would look for even the most beautiful female to do such a thing.

What if she falls? What if she makes a fool of herself?

Then Hanfeng wouldn't like her.

Eagle Dream grew happier the more she thought about it. She nodded and said, "Little female, I heard you have wings but can't fly. I won't make things difficult for you. Just carry the stone up here, whether you fly or crawl, we can accept it."

Nan Zhisui said, "Okay, but I need some time."

“It’s alright, we can all wait,” Yingmeng said.

Not only Yingmeng, but the other orcs also chimed in with curiosity, "Yes, there's no rush, we can wait."

Nan Zhisui asked Han Feng in a low voice, "Can you help me?"

Han Feng nodded: "Okay."

Yingmeng's face darkened, and she said loudly, "You can only complete this test by yourself; you can't let the males help you carry it."

Nan Zhisui said, "I didn't ask him to help move it, but I need some tools and I need him to get them. That doesn't violate the rules, does it?"

Birds, beasts, and people all shook their heads, agreeing not to violate the rules.

Nan Zhisui nodded, leaned close to Hanfeng's ear and whispered something. Hanfeng nodded, then quickly fluttered away.

Nan Zhisui sat silently on the tree branch, waiting, as did the other beastmen, who were also waiting with curiosity.

"How is she going to move such a big rock up here?"

"I heard she can't fly."

"She seems very confident."

"I'm kind of looking forward to seeing what she'll do."

Not long after, Hanfeng returned with many sturdy tree trunks and vines.

Nan Zhisui took the branches and vines, sat on the trunk, and discarded the parts of the trunk that were not of good quality.

She selected the sturdiest vines and tree trunks and began to make something.

All the beastmen looked at Nan Zhisui with curiosity.

What is she doing?

"How interesting! Her hands are so dexterous; it looks like she's doing something."

"I'm really curious."

Yingmeng asked, "You're not stalling for time, are you?"

Nan Zhisui looked up at her, then lowered her head to continue what she was doing.

"You'll find out soon enough, why be so impatient?"

She threaded vines through piece after piece of wood, polished them, and then tied them to the tree trunk.

Some are movable, using movable pulleys.

Some are fixed, they are fixed pulleys.

Nan Zhisui made a simple pulley system out of wood and vines, then threaded the longest and strongest vine through the pulley system and lowered the vine down.

"Hanfeng, take me down."

Han Feng nodded: "Okay."

Although the superhuman strength ability given by the system is useless, it's just a vial of potion that will gradually lose its effectiveness!
But so what?

After studying for so many years and learning so much knowledge, there will always be a day when it comes in handy!
Nan Zhisui went down to the base of the tree, tied one end of the vine to the large stone, and tested the tightness.

Then, she grabbed the other end of the vine and pulled hard.

The pulley system is in operation.

She miraculously lifted the enormous rock with ease!
