Chapter 189 On the Road Through the Rainforest
Chapter 189 On the Road Through the Rainforest
Before coming to the Rainforest Kingdom, Linni had heard everyone say how dangerous it was, and now, with everyone on high alert, she didn't hesitate to suggest wandering around, even though she was getting a little tired. Instead, she stretched her muscles in the area where the flying beastmen were resting. Climbing trees, jumping, and using the power of the Beast God to shoot arrows and attack were all things Linni practiced regularly.
Everyone smiled at Lin Ni's flashy but ineffective martial arts; in their eyes, a female wanting to fight was nothing more than child's play. However, when they saw Lin Ni use the power of the Beast God to condense an arrow and shoot down a bush in one swift motion, their expressions changed.
Sheng asked uncertainly, "Is Lin a high-level female?"
Linni nodded: "Yes, that's right."
Sheng said sincerely, "Lin truly lives up to his reputation as the Beast God's envoy! A natural-born female, and you've already cultivated to the advanced level of a female at such a young age! The attack power of your Beast God's power is not much different from that of our clan leader Chang."
Linni said modestly, "I'm not that good! I was just joking around. I can only fight cubs from a distance. How can I compare to a level nine male?"
A-Zhi said, "Lin Ke is much more powerful than a level nine male! You are a legendary natural female. Level nine males exist in every region, but natural females are very rare."
Lin Ni smiled, changed the subject, and looked up at Yan, asking, "Yan, everyone says that level nine beastmen can fight with the power of the Beast God, but I've seen you, Bai, Xuan, and Ling mostly fight in their beast forms. Why don't you use the power of the Beast God? How well have you mastered the power of the Beast God?"
It seems that only Yao frequently uses the power of the Beast God, while the others rely on their own beast forms and their own strength.
Yan condensed white beast god power in his hand and said, "It takes time to prepare to use the beast god power. It would be faster to attack directly in beast form."
Yao smiled and replied, "Because even a level nine male can only use the power of the Beast God to attack three to five times, people generally don't use it unless it's an emergency."
Linni was a little surprised. Although she also needed to gather energy to use the power of the Beast God, the process was very short, and she felt she could shoot more than five arrows at once! Yao clearly could also attack more than a few times. Seeing Yao smile and nod at her, Linni shut her mouth and didn't ask any more questions. So she began practicing shooting again, carefully feeling how much energy was needed to shoot one arrow. She had already shot two arrows, so after shooting three more, she stopped shooting. However, she felt she could probably shoot another ten or eight arrows without any problem. Linni couldn't help but feel secretly pleased: So I'm that good?
After Bai and the others returned from hunting, they gathered together to eat. Then Linni exclaimed, "Uh~ the scene is too beautiful," and looked up at the scenery.
Yao cooked stir-fried dishes and rice for Linni, and the two ate lunch together under the watchful eyes of the group from the Beast Carving Tribe. By then, everyone had rested enough, so they packed up their things and prepared to set off again.
While Yao was tidying up the tableware, A-Zhi quietly walked over and whispered, "Yao, are you sure it's okay that you're eating so little?"
Yao smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just ate a bit too much this morning."
Azhi nodded: "Oh, okay."
Since Ye and Bai had already eaten while hunting, he didn't know their condition. Since Lin Ni and the others seemed to be used to it, A-Zhi didn't say anything more.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they continued eastward.
Shortly after they set off, a light rain began to fall. Luckily, Linni was wearing a raincoat/sunscreen made from the slough of a snake, otherwise she would have gotten soaked. Because the rain wasn't heavy, no one stopped to seek shelter. In the afternoon, they flew over a clearing with only some weeds. Sheng said that it was a cursed land they had cleaned up in the spring; it was now overgrown with weeds, but next year many tall plants would grow back.
The rain had been falling on and off for half a day, finally stopping at sunset, and the group arrived at their resting place for the night. Sheng explained that this was a treehouse they had built high up in several incredibly tall trees when they had visited the rainforest before. As usual, a few people flew down to check it out first, and only after confirming it was safe did they land in the treehouse. Since everyone had already eaten their fill at noon, they didn't need to eat again that evening. They checked the stream below the trees and only went to drink water after confirming it was safe.
Everyone knows that males only need one full meal a day, but females can't. So Azhi took the initiative to come over to Linni, who was stretching under the tree, and said, "Lin, what would you like to eat tonight? I'll go find it for you."
Lin Ni had already made up her mind about her feelings at the Beast Carving Tribe, so she no longer avoided or resisted A-Zhi's approach. She simply smiled and said to him, "You're all tired, so take a good rest. Let Bai and the others go look for it."
Ah-Zhi glanced at Yao, who was standing guard over Lin-Ni, and then said to Lin-Ni, "I want to do something for Lin."
Linni: "I don't need you to do anything."
Bai quickly returned with some firewood and fruit, so Linni ate fruit while watching Bai build the stove.
Yan and Ling were cleaning the treehouse where Lin Ni would be staying. Xuan fetched water for them several times and filled a large tub with bathwater. Then Xuan and Ling went to soak in the water.
Ye quickly brought back some processed fish, shrimp, and crabs.
As Yao started cooking, Bai snuggled up to Lin Ni, holding her hand for comfort. Ye then pulled Lin Ni into his arms and showered her with kisses, kissing her repeatedly.
Linni broke free from Ye's kiss: "Ye, don't do this!"
Night rested his chin on Linni's shoulder and said with a hint of unsatisfaction, "If I can't sleep with you tonight, let me kiss you."
Even though it was agreed upon beforehand, he still wanted it! It was supposed to be his turn to spend time with Lin Ni tonight! Yao spent time with her yesterday!
Linni pushed his head away; his chin pressed against her shoulder, causing a slight pain. Nevertheless, she hugged him and returned his kiss: "Alright, we'll stay in a safe tribe for a few days before leaving."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yi looked at her with a beaming smile: "Really."
Linni nodded: "Mm!"
After a while, he said again, "I should have stayed at the Hot-Blooded Tribe for a few days before leaving!"
He gave him a disdainful look: "Then we might as well stay in the Beast Carving Tribe for a few more days!"
Lin Ni chuckled at Bai's words, knowing they wanted to be intimate with her, so she didn't reply. She thought Bai was very considerate and wouldn't act too intimately with her in public, nor was he jealous, so she didn't want to ignore him because of his magnanimity. Lin Ni smiled, reached out and ruffled Bai's hair, then kissed him on the cheek. Looking back, she saw that A-Zhi was already chatting with Yan.
