Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

Chapter 346 Temporary Stay on the Island

As evening fell, the group arrived at the island. None of them concealed their aura, so Haiwei, who was guarding the island, immediately became alert.

Upon arriving at the beach, I was first startled by the two giant dragons in front of me.

But upon seeing the familiar figures on the dragon's back, his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, immediately settled down.

"These two dragons gave me quite a fright. It turns out it was the Goddess herself who arrived. What a relief! Come with me to the cave to warm up. Don't let the two cubs get too cold."

Lu Yao: "We'll be bothering you for a few more days this time. We'd like to go back after the winter season ends."

Haiwei: "It's an honor. Please rest in my cave for a while. I'll send someone to clean up the cave for you right away."

Xiang Liu: "Yaoyao likes quiet, so the two of us need to live in a cave by ourselves. It doesn't need to be too big, just big enough!"

Upon arriving at Haiwei's cave, he took out fish and salt: "I'll go find someone to clean up the cave first, and then I'll grill meat for everyone when I get back."

Tianwu: "No need to trouble yourself, we can grill the fish ourselves."

Haiwei returned after the fish was grilled, carrying two plump rabbits in his hands.

"I was afraid the goddess wouldn't like to eat fish, so I brought back two rabbits."

Lu Yao: "Thank you. Fish is enough for today. We'll save the rabbit for tomorrow. Come sit down and eat with us!"

While eating fish, Haiwei said, "We've already brought back several hundred lava shells. We'll transport them to the goddess's cave tomorrow."

Lu Yao took out a jar of pills and placed it on the ground: "These are poison pills. Our tribe is running out of food, so we want to use them to exchange for some dried fish and dried vegetables. We plan to exchange the lava shells for nuts and fresh fruit."

Haiwei: "What are nuts?"

Lu Yao took out a small bag of roasted pine nuts and handed it to Haiwei: "This is it, have a taste!"

Haiwei put down the fish in his hand, opened the bag, and took out a pine nut.

"It even has a rim, it's surprisingly easy to peel!"

The taste of roasted pine nuts is truly indescribable! The moment you put them in your mouth, you can feel their unique aroma instantly spreading throughout your mouth, as if a feast for the senses of smell and taste is quietly unfolding.

Haiwei ate several pine nuts in succession, savoring their crunchy texture with each bite. The rich and mellow flavor was like a warm current flowing gently down his throat, making him unable to stop eating them and instantly falling in love with this wonderful taste.

"This stuff is so delicious! Stay a few more days, and let us know what you want to eat. We'll bring you lots of other good food!"

After dinner, Haiwei led everyone to the cleaned-up cave.

Xiang Liu and Lu Yao lived in a small cave with only a stone bed and a campfire. The stone bed was large and covered with lava shells, clearly indicating that it had been carefully prepared.

The other people lived in large caves, with stone beds neatly arranged against three of the cave walls. In the middle of the cave was a large fire.

Hayway: "This is the cave where all the females and cubs lived, but they've all gone back to the seabed now. Take a look and see if you're satisfied. If not, I'll go and clean up the other caves."

Jia Liu picked up some small objects and started fiddling with them on the stone bed: "Can I play with these things?"

Haiwei: "These are not their personal belongings; they were prepared by the tribe. You can take them if you like. Every year at the market, we exchange some novel little things for the cubs to play with."

The next morning, Haiwei brought a large quantity of dried vegetables, dried fish, and lava shells. He piled them all up at the entrance of the cave where Lu Yao lived.

Pan Zhang and Ni Jun helped pack the things, and Tian Wu said, "These dried vegetables and dried fish aren't very heavy, why don't we have Pan Zhang take some back?"

Pan Zhang: "I think it's a good idea. There's not much food left in the tribe, and many of the males are starving. The animals outside are hibernating, so there's not much prey to catch. The fish in the lake are almost all gone."

Ni Jun: "I'll go back with you. We can transport some lava shells back first. That way, the tribe's warriors won't have to go out every day to chop firewood for warmth. A lot of trees have been used up on the nearby mountains, and the warriors have to go to faraway places to cut trees."

Jia Liu: "Brother Jun, you need to come back soon!"

Ni Jun affectionately patted the cub's head: "After delivering the things, I rushed back overnight."

Pan Zhang cried out in pain, "No, brother! I can't take it!"

Xiang Liu glared at the cub: "How can you be so spineless? You can't live without him!"

Lu Yao: "Safety is the most important thing. You should rest for the night before coming back!"
