Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Long Ying looked at Mona, who lay bloodless on the bed, feeling a pang of guilt. Holding Mona's hand, he softly said, "Little one, I'm sorry for always worrying you so much. It's also my fault for being careless and selfish in letting you take the red crystal. Please don't get hurt!" As he finished speaking, tears fell drop by drop onto Mona's hand.

"It's my fault. I thought Hong Jing was being nice to the baby and that we'd have some unexpected benefits, but I didn't expect to hurt her." Chi Yan slapped himself in the face, feeling incredibly guilty.

"Don't blame yourself. Na doesn't want to see this scene. The two priests must have seen something." Wushuang looked at the two priests expectantly.

"The witch doctor said that something is devouring the red crystal, and something is stopping it. The two forces are pulling at each other, causing the witch's stomach to ache and blood to surge. If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to the awakening of spiritual power, or maybe it's because she's pregnant." Yun said calmly.

"How is it possible that she's pregnant? It's only been a short time, and Na isn't in heat." Wushuang looked horrified.

"Little ones have different physiques. They can get pregnant even without being in heat. Ruirui and Mengmeng are examples of this."

"Then what does being pregnant have to do with the pulling of two forces?" Chi Yan was confused.

"There's a record in Guza of my Silver Wolf Clan that female cubs may revert to their ancestral form, which is why they absorb beast crystals to grow stronger. Ruirui and Mengmeng may also be reverting to their ancestral form. It requires too much energy from the mother's body, as you all know. Everyone remembers our clan's Fantasy Moon Grass, right? It was left by our ancestors for female cubs to revert to their ancestral form."

"Phantom Moon Grass is so rare! Where can we find it now?" Priest Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Phantom Moon Grass is indeed rare, but there's still hope. I remember ancient texts mentioning that it grows in places rich in spiritual energy. We can send people to search the nearby mountains or forests, and perhaps we'll find something. I'll also ask other tribes for any clues. No matter what, we won't give up hope."

"I'll go look for it at the Dragon Clan ruins. I found one there before."

Long Ying and Chi Yan exchanged a glance, a glimmer of hope igniting in their hearts. They decided to each lead a team to search for the Fantasy Moon Grass, leaving no room for any possible clues.

Wushuang stayed in the tribe to take care of Mona. He silently prayed that Longying and Chiyan could successfully find the Fantasy Moon Grass and save Mona and her unborn child.

Yu and Heisha explored the area but found nothing unusual. When they returned to the tribe, they overheard the priest and Longying talking. They quickly stepped forward and said, "Don't bother looking for it. My Eagle Tribe has one. I can give it to you, but the alliance needs to be finalized."

"Okay, as long as you take out the Fantasy Moon Grass, I will accept any request you have for an alliance."

"Okay, Great Chief, two priests, I just want to lead my people to migrate to your Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe. Just give me a mountain. I don't need you to give me anything else. We are self-sufficient. We only ask for an alliance to jointly resist foreign enemies."

"Chief Yu is a straightforward person. On behalf of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe, I welcome you." Long Ying saluted.

"You're so polite, Chief. I'll go get the Fantasy Moon Grass and notify the tribe to relocate."

It transformed into a goshawk and flew away. Everyone's expectant eyes were withdrawn only when Yu disappeared into the horizon.

"Long Ying, the Eagle Clan is reliable, right? Yu is a very loyal guy. I accept him as my friend." Chi Yan did not hide his admiration for Yu's character.

"You are all flying beasts, so naturally you will sympathize with each other." Wushuang felt relieved and started laughing.

By nightfall, Yucai arrived with a group of flying beasts, each laden with items, some carrying females, young beasts, and older beasts. Longying and his group went to meet them.

"Yu, arrange for the old and young beasts to stay at the exchange tonight, and the females to live in the wooden house next to the exchange. Tomorrow, you will move to the hill on the left. You can build any house or tree hole you want. That will be your tribe's permanent home. You will make your own plans, and let the servants know if you need them. Heisha, Huida, Jia, and Lun, I leave it to you."

"Yes, Patriarch, everyone please follow us."

A group of orcs walked into the tribe and split up into teams to live in different places. The Eagle orcs saw that the house was warm and became curious.

"Sir, this room is too warm. We have feathers and are not afraid of the cold in the cold season, but the long snowy season has also frozen many old and young animals to death. It's just like the warm season here! How do you do it?"

"This is a method our witch came up with. You can do the same when you build your house tomorrow." Jia said proudly.

"Thank you, sir. Our leader has ordered that we will also be members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe from now on."

"You, the leader, are sensible." Heisha muttered.

Meanwhile, Yu Jian saw that all his people had been properly settled and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was also gambling on the acceptance of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe. Obviously, his gamble was right. From now on, he and his people would become one of the Ten Thousand Beasts.

"Great Patriarch, this is Fantasy Moon Grass. Let the witch take it quickly." Long Ying took it, hugged Mona, and carefully fed the grass into Mona's mouth. After a while, a faint green light emanated from Mona's body, which combined with the spiritual energy outside and penetrated into Mona's lower abdomen in strands.

Mona felt a warm sensation all over her body, with waves of heat surging in her abdomen. Then she opened her eyes.

"Brother Ying, I'm fine, don't worry. I heard everything you said, I was just too tired to open my eyes." Mona scanned the area and spotted a strange orc. She had only caught a quick glimpse of him at the valley entrance and hadn't been able to see his face clearly.

Yu is also a handsome man, with short, neat black hair, a strong face, sharp features, bronze skin, and a sunny and resolute look like a modern soldier.

"You are Yu, the leader of the Eagle Clan, right? Thank you and your people for rescuing my partner last time. Thank you for saving me with the Fantasy Moon Grass this time."

"Since you've moved to the Myriad Beasts Tribe, we're family. Wu, there's no need to be polite."

"Good, what a family! This is also the original intention of our founding the tribe. Now that the four tribes have united, more tribes will join in the future. In order to integrate together and gather more strength, we will hold a welcome ceremony tomorrow night after we settle in and bless the altar in the square. After we get along for a long time, we can become a couple.

"Okay, let's do as the witch says. I, Yu, hereby swear to the Beast God that I will never betray the Ten Thousand Beast Tribe and submit to the witch." A faint glow rose, confirming the oath. The next day, the sun shone brightly, and the Ten Thousand Beast Tribe's square was bustling with activity. Members of the four tribes gathered to celebrate this historic moment.

On the altar, Long Ying explained the benefits of the Fantasy Moon Grass to everyone and expressed his gratitude to Yu. He then announced the official merger of the four tribes, prompting enthusiastic applause from the audience.

Then, a grand welcome ceremony began. Members of each tribe showcased their unique talents and cultures, exchanging and learning from each other. Everyone was filled with laughter and a harmonious atmosphere.

As night fell, people continued to celebrate around the bonfire. They believed that in the days to come, the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe would become even more prosperous and powerful. And Mona and her unborn child would grow up healthily in this warm family.
