Chapter 163 Beast Carving Tribe
They stayed for two days in two tribes. One was the Red Bird Tribe—actually, the flamingo tribe. The Red Bird tribe's orcs were a bit arrogant, but Linni had a fairly good time there, and she saw different scenery and customs. The second tribe was the Owlbeast Tribe. The orcs of this tribe were a bit ugly, and their tribe's style was comparable to that of the Vulture Beast Tribe. So they only stayed there for one night before leaving. It just goes to show how different kinds of birds can be fed!
As the weather gets hotter, Lin Ni needs to hold Ye every night to sleep comfortably; if she sleeps with Bai, she'll definitely be drenched in sweat. So, no matter who's supposed to be with her, they'll just be affectionate once and then call Ye over so Lin Ni can lean on him to sleep. Ye is satisfied now; he's enjoying the pleasure of holding Lin Ni every night, and it's also made up for the disappointment of not being able to hold her when it's cold.
Bai looked at the smug and boastful Ye, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious. When it was hot, Lin Ni would cling to Ye, and when it wasn't hot, she liked to cling to Yao. He was the only one who couldn't enjoy the feeling of being clung to and pampered by her. But envy aside, that's how it is on the Beastman Continent; not every partner can enjoy the opportunity to be exclusively pampered by their partner. Moreover, before meeting Lin Ni, he couldn't even transform into human form and could only live like a wild beast. Now, being able to stay by her side like this, he was already extremely content. Although he couldn't enjoy Lin Ni's exclusive pampering, he firmly believed that Lin Ni also liked him very much. After knowing and accompanying each other for a year, there was no doubt about her affection for him, and that was enough.
Yan: A normal, ordinary orc, without many thoughts.
Linni doesn't have the chance to rest in Yao's beast form at night for the time being, mainly because the caves or tree hollows where they rest are not big enough. If Yao were to transform into a phoenix to rest, it would be too crowded. Moreover, the weather is so hot now that even though Yao's body temperature isn't as high as Bai's, he still sweats. So, the idea of resting in the beautiful phoenix has to be put on hold for the time being.
After flying eastward for thirteen days from the Eagle Beast Tribe, Lin Ni and her group finally arrived at the Eagle Beast Tribe.
The Beast Carving Tribe is built on a massive stone mountain, much taller than any stone mountain one has ever seen. Facing southwest from the northeast, the mountain is riddled with caves, and in front of it are numerous stone houses or treehouses (wooden houses built in tree branches), as well as house trees (thick, large trees that naturally form hollows). Beyond the settlement of the Beast Carving Tribe lies a large circle of grassland. Indeed, there are no plants taller than a meter around the tribe; the rustling of the grass in the wind creates a unique and beautiful scene.
Because she was flying high, Linni could see that behind the stone mountain of the Eagle Beast Tribe was a wide river, and on the other side of the river was a long stone dam. Every so often there was a stone house, and there seemed to be beastmen patrolling on the dam. It reminded Linni of the Great Wall of China. This was the Eagle Beast Tribe, guarding the towering stone cliffs from the invasion of the wandering beastmen from the rainforest.
Linni flew over on Yao's back. As they approached the Eagle Beast Tribe, nine large eagles flew out from the high rocky mountain to greet them. Yao slowly descended and said to the lead eagle, "We come from the Eagle Beast Tribe and would like to rest here for a few days before heading to the Rainforest Kingdom."
To speak in beast form, one must be at least level eight. Of the nine giant eagles on the other side, only the leader was level eight; the others were orcs between levels five and seven.
The level eight orc sized up the people opposite him. He realized that not being able to discern their level meant they were level nine. There were only two level nine orcs in the entire Ten Thousand Cliffs, and now only five had arrived. He was so nervous that he could hardly keep his balance and quickly said, "Oh, hello! Please follow me." Then he said to the orc to his left, "Ming, go and inform the chieftain that many powerful individuals have arrived."
The beastman named Ming nodded and flew towards the stone dam.
Several beastmen from the Beast Carving Tribe led Yao and his group to the top of the large stone mountain. The top of the stone mountain was very flat. To the south, there was a platform of about fifty or sixty square meters. On the platform stood a stone tablet, which was only four or five meters high. Its style looked exactly like the Vermilion Bird Tablet, but it did not have that ancient feel.
They landed on the edge of the platform and transformed into human form. The beastmen of the Eagle Beast Tribe all had yellow skin and black eyes, but their hair came in various colors such as black, white, gray, and brown. They were taller and stronger than the Eagle Beastmen, looking like muscular giants. Their faces were stern, and their features were very rugged.
Five of the eight eagle-like male beasts were single. They all stared intently at Lin Ni, but when she looked at them, they all looked away, no longer staring directly at her. Lin Ni immediately felt a good impression of these men: this was the proper manners of normal men! Even if you like someone, staring at them incessantly on the first meeting is really impolite.
The leading level eight eagle beastman stepped forward and said, "It's Lan. When did your eagle beast tribe get so many level nine experts?"
Lan smiled and said, "They are not members of our Eagle Beast Tribe. Let's wait until your chieftain arrives." Then he turned to Yao and the others and said, "This is Sheng from the Eagle Beast Tribe."
As they were talking, the chieftain of the Beast Carving Tribe, accompanied by Ming, led five flying beastmen over.
Sheng smiled and said to Yao and the others, "This is Chang, the chief of our Beast Carving Tribe."
Yao smiled and greeted Chang: "Chang, chieftain of the Eagle Beast Tribe, hello! We come from the Tiger Beast Tribe in the towering mountains of the west. I am Yao, this is my partner Lin, and these are Ye, Bai, Yan, Xuan, and Ling."
After everyone greeted each other, Lan briefly explained to the beastmen of the Eagle Beast Tribe the purpose of Lin Ni and her group's visit to the Ten Thousand Cliffs and what they had done in the Eagle Beast Tribe. Upon hearing that they had activated the Vermilion Bird Stele, the beastmen of the Eagle Beast Tribe were all amazed.
Sheng said, "We all felt the blessing of the Beast God and the protection of the Guardian Stone. It turns out that you were the ones who awakened and activated the Guardian Stone!"
Chang sincerely praised Lin Ni, saying, "Beast God Messenger: Lin, you are truly amazing! On behalf of all the creatures on the towering cliff, I thank you!"
Linni was still getting used to the role of "Beast God's Messenger" and could only wave her hand shyly: "It's all thanks to the Beast God's blessing on everyone!"
"Yes, may the Beast God protect us!"
Knowing that Linni and her group planned to travel to the Rainforest Kingdom, everyone showed disapproval, but no one said much about the Beast God's messenger. Chang then asked Sheng to arrange accommodations for them and invited them to the bonfire party that evening.
