Beast World: The Ferocious God Xiang Liu is So Gentle

After lunch, Lu Yao drew pictures on the ground with charcoal while studying how to make an umbrella.

Xiang Liu: "What are all these paintings Yao Yao drew?"

Lu Yao explained, "This is the handle, this is the ribs, and this is the canopy. Only when they are put together can you make a complete umbrella."

“I will sew the umbrella canopy, and the two of you will be responsible for making the umbrella handle and ribs.”

Tianwu: "The umbrella handle is alright, but the umbrella ribs look complicated to make. And the wooden strips needed are so thin, they're not easy to work with!"

Lu Yao: "If only we had bamboo, bamboo strips would be sturdy and easy to process."

Tianwu: "What does bamboo look like? Maybe I've seen it before."

Lu Yao: "Bamboo is green, tall, with a smooth surface, grows segment by segment, and is hollow inside."

Tianwu: "I know where to find them, I can get them for you soon."

Before Lu Yao could react, Tian Wu had already left in a flash.

While looking at the drawing Lu Yao made, Xiang Liu started making the umbrella handle.

Lu Yao then removed the fish skin bag and prepared to sew the umbrella surface.

This piece of fish skin is quite large; it can be used to make at least two umbrella canopies.

Less than an hour later, Tianwu dragged a large bamboo pole back to the cave.

The bamboo still had a lot of leaves attached. Because Tianwu was in a hurry to come back, he rushed back after cutting down one bamboo and didn't have time to deal with it.

Lu Yao picked the bamboo leaves one by one.

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have obtained a bamboo leaf. You are rewarded with one gold coin."

Tianwu: "Does this leaf have any other use?"

Lu Yao: "These leaves are especially good for making tea. They can clear heat and relieve irritability, promote body fluid production, and have a diuretic effect."

"It can be used to treat fever and thirst, infantile convulsions, cough with vomiting blood, scanty dark urine, and oral ulcers."

Tianwu: "I'll pick them. You go and rest on the heated kang!"

Xiang Liu: "You don't need such a large bamboo pole to make umbrella ribs. Is there any other use for the rest?"

Lu Yao: "Burning bamboo on a fire produces a liquid called bamboo sap, which can help clear phlegm and stop vomiting. Let's burn some and take it with us; we might need it later."

Xiang Liu: "I just studied Yao Yao's drawing. I'll leave enough bamboo to make two umbrellas, and let Tian Wu make bamboo sap from the rest."

The bamboo was thick and large, taking up a lot of space, so Lu Yao said, "Let's cut it into sections with a bone knife; it'll be easier to roast it that way."

After taking a section of bamboo, Xiang Liu went to the side and began splitting it into strips.

Tianwu was responsible for handling the remaining bamboo.

Lu Yao: "Let's make two cups out of bamboo tubes, one to hold the bamboo sap, and the other to drink water on the road. Oh, and let's put a lid on the cups too."

Tianwu: "No problem!"

After an afternoon of work, Xiang Liu and Tian Wu finally managed to assemble an umbrella.

Lu Yao, holding an umbrella, came outside the cave. The light rain pattered on the umbrella, making a pleasant sound.

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have successfully crafted an umbrella. You are rewarded with one gold coin."

Tianwu: "It's too cold outside, Yaoyao, let's go back to the cave!"

Lu Yao returned to the cave, sat by the fire, and tasted a mouthful of the bamboo sap she had collected.

The bamboo sap has a fragrant aroma with a slightly bitter taste.

System notification! "Congratulations, host, you have obtained Bamboo Sap. You are rewarded with one gold coin."

Tianwu: "I'll cook. After we finish eating, I'll roast all the remaining bamboo."

As he spoke, Tianwu brought over the water cup he had made and asked, "Yaoyao, do you think this cup is alright?"

Lu Yao took the cup, opened the lid, and poured the bamboo juice into it.

System notification: "Congratulations, host, you have successfully made a cup. You are rewarded with one gold coin."

Lu Yao: "That's great, let's use it to collect bamboo sap!"

After dinner, Lu Yao went to rest first.

Tianwu and Xiangliu worked until very late, until the second umbrella was finished and all the bamboo sap was collected, before they returned to the stone chamber to rest.

Jia Liu lay obediently beside Lu Yao and slept quietly.

The next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Lu Yao put everything she could carry from the cave into her spatial storage, and then everyone set off.

Xiang Liu held Lu Yao in his arms, while Lu Yao held an umbrella to shield them from the rain.

Tianwu followed behind, holding Jialiu in one arm and holding an umbrella in the other.

Both of them walked swiftly, and every time they covered a distance, Tianwu would carve a mark on the tree.

Around noon, the group discovered a cave.

Xiang Liu: "Let's rest here for today. We've already gone quite far. I estimate that Bai Ze and the others won't catch up with us until tomorrow."
