Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

"Why are you here?" Mona asked as she retreated.

"What happened? You're in a panic and everyone is injured. Did someone so blind as to offend you?" Jin Jue looked Mona up and down.

"The spiny horse is an adult ferocious beast. It is not afraid of anything and its skin is as hard as iron." Mona replied while panting.

"Little female, are all your partners so useless? How about you and me?"

"Get out!" Long Ying shouted.

"Chiyan, protect Mona and the cubs. It's necessary to fly far away."

Chi Yan transformed into a phoenix, snatched up Niang San, and soared into the air. Long Ying formed a seal with both hands, and the formation rose up. The spinal horse was trapped and rushed around. Everyone felt only waves of vibrations in the air.

Long Ying casually pulled out his bow and smeared the arrowhead with his own blood. With a whoosh, it pierced the beast's left eye. "Roar! Roar!" The injured beast grew even more furious, sending dust flying all around. He drew his bow and fired a second arrow, aiming for the right eye. Whoosh, another hit.

"The beast is injured, its defenses are reduced, and its barbs have softened. Let's all work together to kill it."

The sky was filled with rain of arrows, and in a short while the ferocious beast was turned into a hedgehog.

With a loud "crack," the beast fell to the ground, startling the birds in the trees and trembling away. With a wave of his hand, Long Ying neatly retracted his bow, dismantled the formation, approached the beast, and dug into its skull with his dagger. A moment later, a red crystal appeared in his palm. Everyone was excited.

"I didn't expect that this spiny horse actually had red beast crystals. We are so lucky." Jia said happily.

Jin Jue stood aside, lost in thought. When exactly was the Ten Thousand Beast Tribe established? These orcs were quite powerful, and every one of them had a weapon. And who was this Long Ying? How could he even use a formation...

"Sir, sir, what should we do?" Xiao Luoluo asked Jin Jue in a low voice.

"Go back and tell the city lord that I'm going back to her tribe with the little female, and tell him not to set his sights on the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe because I'm going to be her beast husband. Tell him what you saw today, too, and don't let any of that lead to anything you shouldn't. Do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand! Let's go now, let's go now!" The minions ran away.

"Longying, well done, you're really good. I've decided to go back to the tribe with you. I hope you'll welcome me."

"Jin Jue, I know what you're up to. When it comes to being shameless, you're on par with the Spinal Cord. But I remind you, if Little Bit doesn't like you, you can't force her, even if you have a level seven combat power."

"Who said she doesn't like me? I'm good-looking and have strong fighting ability. More importantly, I'm second only to the first person in the main city. She can live a carefree life in the main city by following me!" Jin Jue said happily with his neck stiff.

"Hehehe!" Qingli laughed contemptuously.

"What are you laughing at? Isn't it because you're good-looking that little females like you? In terms of fighting power and status, I can beat you in seconds! Ha!"

While the war of words was still going on here, the orcs on the other side had already pulled out the arrows and started to skin and tendon the beasts with their homemade daggers. After all this treatment, everyone was hungry.

Mona and her two children were taken around by Chi Yan and found that they were not far from their tribe. Then they spoke

"I know everyone is hungry, so we'll rest here and roast the beast meat."

All the beastmen knew Mona's habits. Some beastmen built stoves and took pottery pots, some collected dry firewood, and some went to get water. They cooperated with each other in perfect harmony.

Jin Jue was secretly surprised. This little female was their tribe leader? In the beast world, no tribe had ever been led by a female. While females were precious, the males wouldn't let them mess around with such a major matter. It was understandable that the beast husbands listened to the female master, but why were these beastmen so busy?

Soon, the aroma of barbecue filled the air. Mona handed a piece of roasted meat to Jin Jue and said, "Eat it! Anyway, I still want to thank you today."

Jin Jue took the meat, took a bite, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Delicious!"

Long Ying watched from the side and thought to himself: This Jin Jue really doesn't consider himself an outsider.

After finishing their meal, the group continued on their journey. Along the way, Jin Jue kept trying to find a chance to talk to Mona, but she always ignored him. He couldn't help but ask, "Mona, why don't you like me? What's wrong with me?"

Mona stopped, looked at him seriously and said, "I don't like you because I already have someone I like. Besides, I don't need to rely on others to be happy." After that, she quickened her pace and walked forward.

Jin Jue stood there in a daze, watching Mona's retreating figure, and secretly vowed in his heart: I must make Mona fall in love with me...

The group, exhausted from the journey, finally returned to the tribe.

Jin Jue followed the others to the tribe's gate and wondered if he'd returned to the main city. The walls were taller than the city itself, the gates even larger. Fruit still hung from the trees along the road, a vibrant red tinged with frost. The trapezoidal ridges of land still held the roots of the crops. Most terrifying of all, the herds of wild beasts were kept in captivity. Oh my god! Was this a small tribe? This should be a paradise for beasts.

"Wu, clan leaders, you are finally back. Did the transaction go smoothly?"

"It went smoothly. We exchanged a lot of useful things, but we didn't get any salt."

"Witch, the cold season is almost mid-season, so it's not suitable to trade anymore. Males can drink the blood of wild beasts, but females and cubs can't. We'll gather the remaining salt and send it to your house later. You can keep it."

"Okay, I'll find a way."

"Witch, tribe leaders, I have something else to tell you. The surrounding tribes asked our tribe for help, saying that wild beasts had broken into the tribe and were injuring people. Even the Golden Lion Tribe was attacked. You went to trade, but we didn't dare to agree. We also strictly forbade our tribe members to leave."

"Well done, Great Elder. On the way back, we also encountered a ferocious beast, but it wasn't a wild beast. All of our tribesmen were slightly injured."

"This is not a simple matter. Strengthen the tribe's defenses, increase patrols, and use smoke alarms. Chiyan, Wushuang, you two will have to work harder. Patrol from higher ground and stay as far away as possible."

Jin Jue looked at Mona, and seeing her orderly arrangements and calm demeanor, he felt very proud!

Mona turned to look at Jin Jue. "Jin Jue, you just said you wanted to go back to the tribe with us. That's still possible. But our tribe doesn't support idlers. You can choose to join the hunting team or the patrol. Of course, if you have other skills, you can also show them."

Jin Jue quickly said, "I can join the hunting team. My fighting ability is very high."

Mona nodded. "Okay, let's try it first. However, you must abide by the rules of our tribe and not act on your own, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Jin Jue was secretly delighted. He was willing to do anything as long as he could stay with Mona. He decided to perform well and strive to gain Mona's approval.
