Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Bixi placed Mona in his cave, carefully placing her on the stone bed, covering her with layers of animal skins to prevent any bumps. Seeing that she showed no signs of waking, he walked towards the clan leader's house.

"Chief, are you home?"

Bixi shouted from outside a cave.

"Who is it?"

A middle-aged man emerged from the cave. He had a serious face and a burly build, with four light patterns on his arms. He exuded the majesty of a superior.

"Oh, it's Bixi, what's the matter?"

"Chief, I rescued a little female in the Lega Forest. I came to report to you that she wants to be my mate"!

"Hehehe! You are a beast. There are so many females in the tribe who want you to be their husbands, even the first husband, but you refused. This female must have had some beastly qualities!" Bixi scratched her flowing green hair embarrassedly, her face flushed red.

"It's quite good, everything about it is good, it's all grown on the tip of my beast heart, so I asked you to help me preside over the mate ceremony!"

Bixi was nervous when she said this. She made the decision unilaterally without asking the little female's opinion or even knowing her name.

"Let's go, let's go see that little female and call the priest!"

"Okay, okay!"

The tourmaline turned into a snake shape and began to move in an S shape. A gust of wind seemed to blow it to another cave.

"Master Priest, the patriarch wants you to go to my cave to see my little female."

Inside the cave, a few red fruits were placed on a stone table. The priest, Yun, was wearing a black robe, with colorful feathers from some unknown bird adorning his hair. Around his neck hung a necklace made of the skull and teeth of some unknown beast. He was rubbing a tortoise shell, carefully examining the patterns on it with his shrewd eyes. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've finally been waiting for it, it's finally here"!

Bixi often saw Yun, the priest, talking to himself all day long. She thought she didn't hear clearly, so she hurriedly repeated her purpose. Unexpectedly, Yun said calmly:

"Don't leave yet!"

"Oh oh oh! Let's go now."

It immediately transformed into a beast and carried Yun back to its own cave. Yun had lived for over a hundred snowy seasons and was an elderly female, but her shrewd, starry eyes belied her age. Upon reaching the cave entrance, they encountered the tribe leader! The three beasts entered the cave together.

Bixi is a lonely beast. His father, mother and brothers all died in the beast tide during the snow season. He is the only one left in the family, so there is nothing in the cave except the stone bed and a few pieces of animal skins on the haystack in the corner.

"You want to mate, little cub? Why don't you make the cave more spacious? You should also prepare some salt crystals for the female to eat. Hunt more beasts for her to eat, and preserve the hides to make her a hide skirt. The snow season is coming soon, and the females are afraid of the cold. Although we Teng Snakes don't hibernate, we can't go out hunting during the snow season!"

The patriarch's earnest nagging was completely unlike the aura of a superior just now, but more like a father animal teaching his cub.

"I understand, Chief!"

Bixi scratched her head again, slightly embarrassed! When the three beasts stood by the stone bed and looked at Mona, she was still asleep, her chest rising and falling with her soft breathing. Because of the aftereffects of the explosion and lying in the forest all day, her body ached. Only sleep could relieve it!

Yun looked Mona up and down:

"Why is this little female so short and thin? Could the divination be wrong? No way! The Beast God's guidance can't be wrong!"

Yun was muttering in his heart! When his eyes met Mona's face, he immediately understood.

"It's really her, it's really her, may the Beast God bless you!"

He clasped his hands together and bowed to Mona! This unusual behavior confused the patriarch and Bixi!

"Master Priest, what's the matter?"

"Master Priest, what's going on?"

The two beasts asked at the same time. Yun stretched out a finger and put it on his lips, made a hushing sound, raised his head and gestured, "Talk outside."

"Chief, please arrange a patrol team to guard outside Bixi's cave. No one is allowed to enter the cave. After the arrangement is made, come back to the cave with Bixi. I have something to tell you."

The three beasts acted separately, and the patriarch felt that something serious was happening. Something big must have happened to make the High Priest, an old wise man with hundreds of snow seasons of experience, so on high alert.

He immediately ran to the square and rang the bell, the first time since he took office. At the sound of the bell, every member of the tribe, young and old, men and women, rushed to the square in panic, thinking stray beasts were attacking the tribe. The young females and cubs were so frightened that they burst into tears. They all trembled and waited for the chief's instructions.

"Everyone, be quiet. There are no stray beasts attacking the tribe. Don't be nervous or afraid."

The chief stood on the altar, waving his hands vigorously to the sides. The beasts in the square, upon hearing that no one was attacking the tribe and that there were no stray beasts, breathed a sigh of relief, suppressed their pounding hearts, and quietly waited for the chief to speak.

"The bells are rung today because there is an important event to announce. Just now, Bixi told me that he brought back a little female from the Lega Forest. Our high priest also went to visit the little female. The high priest asked me to arrange a patrol team to guard Bixi's cave. Which teams are not going hunting now?"

"Jia Helun's team".

The beast below immediately reported:

"Jia, Lun, you two take your teams and guard Bixi's cave. One team will guard the outside of the cave, and the other team will guard the entrance of the tribe. Don't go into the cave and keep the females at rest!"

"Yes, patriarch."

Jia and Lun replied at the same time.

"The remaining beasts should do what they should do. No one can reveal that the little female is in our tribe. After the high priest finishes the divination, he will tell everyone what to do."

After the chief had finished speaking, he deliberately released his imposing aura to make the group of beasts below think that he was not joking.

After the beasts retreated, the chief immediately ran to the priest's cave in a hurry. Once he entered the cave, he didn't care about his image. He reached out and took something that looked like a coconut shell and poured water from the teapot on the table to drink.

"Oh, go slower, don't break the teapot. It's precious. There are only three of them in the whole wilderness."

Yun felt so distressed that he kept sobbing and protecting her carefully.

"Master Priest, the patriarch is here now. What's the matter? Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me directly. I'm scared of you! Is there something wrong with the little female I picked up?"

The patriarch also waited for the answer with an expectant look on his face.

"Yes, it's a big deal, a big deal for our Teng Snake Tribe. Since yesterday, I have been following the guidance of the Beast God and have divined that there is someone who will lead our Teng Snake Tribe to rise, and whose bloodline will return to their ancestral home!"

With a loud bang, the clan leader stood up and asked in a trembling voice:

"Sir, this matter must be taken seriously!"

Bixi looked at the priest in confusion, hoping to hear a more accurate result.

"Seriously, I'll show you two the guidance of the Beast God."

Yun walked quickly to the stone bed, carefully lifted the animal hide that covered it, and very cautiously took out an animal hide bag. He opened it layer by layer in front of the two dumbfounded males, and finally took out a yellowed and somewhat worn sheepskin. He gently placed it on the stone table and carefully opened it. On it was a portrait!

The two beasts came closer to the chest bag and took a look, then gasped, "Wow, isn't this the little female that Bixi picked up? She has such great abilities."

Yun rolled his eyes at the clan leader, nodded, and then looked at Bixi tenderly:

"Little guy, you're lucky. She's the messenger of the Beast God. Protecting her is more important than your life."

"Master Priest, I will protect her even if you don't tell me. She will be my partner."

Bixi placed her hand on her chest and said seriously, "No, Bixi, little brat, I'm telling you, although the rules of the Beast World are that whoever picks it up owns it, that's for others. She's the Beast God's messenger, and you can't force her. It would be best if you could win her heart. Only if she's willing, our tribe will become stronger, and we can even unify the Beast World."

Yun felt quite tired after talking so much in one breath, but when she thought about the future, her blood started boiling.
