CHAPTER 709: 【703】BEAST WORLD FARMING 13 (THIRD UPDATE)
The little mink wagged its tail excitedly, circling around his feet and occasionally diving into the large beast skin bag, the meaning quite obvious.
Yin Ye’s eyes twinkled with mischief as he squatted down, caressed her little head, then slipped the beast skin bag around his neck, placing her against his chest before he transformed into his wolf form, running with her away from the tribe and towards the Grove.
Dangling from the great wolf’s neck, Tangtang tiptoed, stretching her hooves out, scrabbling at the fabric of the bag to look out at the blue sky, cloud upon cloud, and the jungle after the rain, which seemed as pristine and idyllic as a wallpaper, breathing in the air rich with spiritual energy and the fragrance of fresh grass—only then did she feel that, though Beast World was dangerous, such breathtaking beauty was indeed a rare sight across several lifetimes.
Throughout the journey, she saw countless fungi—big and beautiful, in all sorts of colors; unfortunately, this world was different from the one she knew. She wanted to pick them, but she couldn’t distinguish whether the fungi were poisonous.
The trees here were thick and robust, commonly soaring into the clouds, and even the leaves were large enough to block out the sun. It was no wonder that the beastmen, in their beast forms, were much bigger than she had imagined, and she, being a minor, naturally appeared much weaker.
Upon reaching the Grove, she rubbed against him, eager to get down, but Yin Ye said,
"The Grove is full of dangers. It’s better for you to stay calm."
"Chirp chirp~~" "If you’re carrying me, how will you hunt?"
That indeed was a problem. Yin Ye halted, perked up his ears, and looked around, finally finding a relatively safe spot to put her down.
"Don’t wander off. I will be nearby. If there’s any danger, run and call for me, understand?"
The young mink nodded vigorously like pounding garlic, and Yin Ye thought for a moment, then suddenly pinned her under his paw and licked her from head to tail with his tongue.
No matter how much Tangtang resisted, he was unmoved until he had coated her with his scent, then he felt reassured enough to delve into the Grove.
Tangtang looked disdainfully at her body. Although she knew it was his way of protecting her, as a human, she was really uncomfortable with such a baptism of saliva—it was truly disgusting, right?
However, when she rolled in the grass, gripping a flower as big as her face, and breathing in deeply, she felt that life was simply too beautiful.
Even the dragonflies and butterflies were as large as a palm, no wonder the flowers were as big as her face—what a novel world this was for her!
Suddenly, her vision captured a beautifully radiant flower, its intense fragrance detectable from afar. The flower, standing tall at one and a half meters, bore four blooms on a single stem—a red, a purple, a yellow, and a white, each vying for beauty, a sight so lovely she couldn’t tear herself away.
Having never seen a single stem nurture four differently colored flowers, she wished she had a camera to capture all this beauty.
It was just that she was not tall enough; otherwise, she really would have liked to pick one to take home—its rich fragrance could serve as an air freshener.
A butterfly, fluttering its colorful wings, landed on a bud, apparently sucking on the pollen inside. It was a beautiful scene capable of stirring hearts, but in the next second, the flower opened its gaping maw and devoured the unsuspecting butterfly. The scene unfolded so quickly that had she not been staring, she might have thought she had seen an illusion.
Cannibal Flower?
When the three words popped into her mind, she instinctively backed away several steps. Oh my gosh, how terrifying, no wonder Yin Ye said this place was fraught with danger, warning her not to touch anything carelessly—the serene scene had turned bloody in an instant. She had completely underestimated the brutality of this world.
"Hiss~~~" Suddenly, her sharp hearing told her that danger was approaching from behind, and the sound that gave her chills was likely...
She froze and turned around to see a black snake with red stripes, as thick as a baby’s arm, with a triangular face rearing up and flicking its forked, blood-red tongue at her, the icy bloodthirst in its eyes sending shivers down her spine.
Poisonous snake!!!
"What are you waiting for? Run!"
Little Purple Mink, under the nervous awakening of Liang Tian who was frustrated with the situation, darted off immediately. But why would the snake give up on its prey so easily?
Scuttling through the grass with astonishing speed, it left Tangtang in awe.
"Oh my god, it’s chasing me! What should I do—run in a straight line or zigzag?"
Liang Tian held his forehead in exasperation, "With your lack of strength, you’re dead either way. Hurry up and call for help!"
Reminded by her, Little Purple Mink suddenly remembered Yin Ye’s instructions and urgently howled for help.
Silver Wolf, who was hunting a Sika Deer, abruptly heard Little Purple Mink’s cry, stopped abruptly, and turned towards her direction.
But even with his incredible speed, he couldn’t catch up to the Black Snake that was almost within reach—the minkling’s hind leg had already been bitten, and after biting, the snake then coiled around her. Tangtang knew that after a snake bite, one must not move recklessly as it would only accelerate the circulation of blood and lead to a quicker death.
Even though she knew it might be over for her, she still didn’t want to give up until the very end.
Just then, a cry of an eagle came from the sky, followed by a dark shadow that swooped down from the heights toward her. Already entwined by the snake, continuously flicking its tongue at her, she couldn’t move at all. The eagle’s appearance didn’t bring her relieved happiness, nor did her blindness to faces allow her to recognize the familiar. To her, all animals seemed to look the same.
Only when he approached did she catch the familiar scent.
"Jin Han?" Tangtang was stunned, never having expected that their reunion would occur in such a scenario.
And the Golden Eagle, which had swooped down intending to catch the prominent Black Snake, hadn’t anticipated that the animal it was coiling around was none other than the long-searched-for Tangtang.
Seeing Tangtang tightly bound by the Black Snake like a broken doll enraged him. His blue beak turned into a cold blade as he ferociously pecked at the snake, his sharp claws shredding it in the blink of an eye.
When Silver Wolf arrived, he saw Golden Eagle shaking Tangtang who was gradually losing consciousness. Just as he was about to attack, the latter caught the unmistakable scent of Silver Wolf on Tangtang, turned his head, and halted his next move with a single sentence.
"She’s been bitten by the snake; I need to take her for Detoxification."
It was then that Yin Ye noticed the scattered black flesh around and panicked, "Is it the poisonous Black Scale Red?"
