CHAPTER 705: 【699】BEAST WORLD FARMING 9 (SECOND UPDATE)

Even with all her might, she didn’t gain the slightest advantage under the wolves’ collective assault.

She was dyed red with her own blood, and the thick stench of it made her realize that she was about to say goodbye to this world; perhaps, this was also a kind of release.

As she slowly closed her eyes, she prayed that these wolves would wait until she was completely dead before eating her, else she wouldn’t let them off even in death.

However, unknown to her, after she completely passed out, a man with silver hair and bare ankles suddenly appeared, stepping through the eerie night, and took her into his protective circle. Not only did he stop the imminent wolf attack, but with a single move, he decapitated all the wolf leaders.

When the silver-haired man picked up her frail self from the pool of blood, she was already so light she barely weighed anything. To save her, he transformed into a fleeting shadow and vanished into the depths of the dense forest.

Tangtang never expected she would have another clear day. When she woke up, there was only a kindly smiling old grandma beside her.

She wanted to express her gratitude, but she found that even a slight movement caused pain all over her body as if she were being sliced by knives.

Especially now that it was daytime and she was still in her beast form, it was evident that her injuries had greatly depleted her essence and it might even set back her evolution by a few years.

This wasn’t an exaggeration—she knew in her heart that the injuries from that night were fatal. That she could wake up now was already a manifestation of the Beast God’s blessing.

And she remembered a saying in her memory - if a female was seriously injured before adulthood, it would indeed delay the maturing process.

"Hiss hiss~~~" Thank you, Grandma, for saving me.

"Little female cub, you stay put and don’t move around. It wasn’t me who saved you, but Yin Ye while he was night hunting. What was a little female cub like you doing out in the grove in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? I heard Yin Ye and the others brought back more than a dozen wolves. You were still breathing when they found you, waiting for the beasts to save you—truly a stroke of luck!"

So she was saved by a beastman called Yin Ye!

Indeed, more than just lucky, her life was tenaciously resilient. Could this be the so-called protagonist’s halo?

"Your injuries are not light, with excessive blood loss and flesh torn asunder. Even if you heal, you’ll have scars, of course. But that’s not the most important thing. The most important is, you have injured your foundation – we don’t even know if you’ll be able to have cubs in the future. However, you’ve survived, and with half a year’s recuperation, you should get better."

Upon hearing she might not be able to have cubs, Tangtang’s eyes brightened: "Chirp chirp~~." Grandma, I have a favor to ask of you.

"Little female cub, just speak your mind, no need to be so polite. There’s no one else here."

...

Tangtang had been in a coma for three whole days before she awoke, and during these days, the Xinba tribe was in chaos.

The fierce battle between Pan Lin and Jin Han lasted one night and half a day, ultimately inconclusive, because the news came from the tribe that Tangtang was missing.

Finally, they followed the scent to where the wolf pack had perished. There they found a horrifying pool of blood, and they all recognized that it was Tangtang’s.

And judging by the extent of bloodshed at the scene, they had already deduced that she might have met with an accident.

Aside from the pool of blood, they could no longer sense her presence.

At that time, Tangtang’s breathing was so weak that she could have died at any moment, and Yin Ye was incredibly fast, making it difficult for them to distinguish her scent amid the chaos.

Especially since they refused to believe that Tangtang had simply died like that, and as luck would have it, a sudden storm arrived, washing away any remaining traces. It became even more impossible to find her, and that’s why Tangtang remained unconscious for three days without being discovered.

Jin Han and Pan Lin were always puzzled as to why Tangtang would leave the tribe out of the blue. The tribe’s entry was guarded by beastmen; if they saw Tangtang leaving, why didn’t they stop her?

This question had been a focal point of their pursuit ever since Tangtang disappeared, and moreover, Jin Han had even detected Nisa’s scent in his own cave.

Even though Nisa was the granddaughter of the Clan Leader, Jin Han didn’t hold back at all and threw her to Pan Lin for interrogation. He belonged to the tribe, but Pan Lin did not.

Pan Lin mentioned that Wandering Beasts, when provoked, didn’t even acknowledge their own kind. Nisa was terrified to her core and confessed everything on the spot.

When they learned that it was Nisa who had sent Tangtang out, both beasts were united in their outrage, nearly wiping Nisa out. Had it not been for the Clan Leader arriving with other beastmen, Nisa probably wouldn’t have lived to see the sun the next day.

As for Tangtang, she was completely oblivious to all of this because she had been taken to the Nandi Clan, just across the river from the Xinba Tribe, by a Silver Wolf called Yin Ye.

The females of the Nandi Clan all came from the Weak Beast Clan, who were proficient in identifying medicinal herbs. Therefore, the females mainly focused on gathering and cultivating medicinal herbs, which greatly benefited the Nandi Clan. At the Wanshou Clan meeting, the medicine pills they produced were extremely popular.

That night, had Yin Ye not been pursuing a prey and crossed that river, he would not have been able to rescue Tangtang.

Although Tangtang’s injury preventing her from bearing children had already spread throughout the Nandi Clan, the people were simple and the females kind and gentle. The beastmen were busy working outside every day and had no time for spreading gossip, so Tangtang’s recovery period was very peaceful.

Because she hadn’t fully recovered, she lay in her nest in beast form continuously, consuming very little food each day, with most of her stomach taken up by a large number of medicinal herbs.

Witch Doctor Grandma was busy preparing medicinal herbs every day, and for some reason, Tangtang always felt she was familiar with their medicinal properties. She could even identify the herbs from a sip, even though she had studied Western medicine, not Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Although she had attended classes in Traditional Chinese Medicine during her university years, compared to such a primitive method, it seemed rather elementary.

Moreover, she discovered that the females of the tribe were really amazing. The Nandi Clan seemed much more peaceful and serene than the Xinba Tribe.

Even after confirming that Witch Doctor Grandma and the other females didn’t despise her and were willing to teach her about medicinal herbs, she promptly joined the Nandi Clan. On her neck, she engraved a mark unique to the Nandi Clan.

As for the rescuer named Yin Ye, Grandma had said that he had visited a few times while she was unconscious but then went out hunting, so she had not yet seen what he actually looked like.

Her external wounds had scabbed over in half a month, and after scabbing, it didn’t hurt much, but it was still somewhat itchy and uncomfortable. When Grandma was drying the herbs outdoors, Tangtang would nestle under the sun, finding solace in the sunlight. Although she had suffered a great setback, finding such a peaceful haven felt like a blessing from the heavens.

The females here were not very beautiful, as they were constantly traveling in the grove, resulting in dark, rough skin due to inheritance issues. Yet every one of them was kind, which was likely the compassionate heart of those who practiced medicine. Of course, it might also derive from their origin from the Weak Beast Clan – inherently timid, and unable to harbor cruelty.
