What exactly is wrong with Chapter 149?
At this moment, Luo spoke up: "Lin sings so beautifully! Even the most melodious lark in the entire Ten Thousand Cliffs can't compare to you!"
Linni smiled and said, "That's a bit of an exaggeration! Actually, the women in your tribe sang really well last night!"
Several females had very pleasant voices, and Lin Ni thought they were much better than hers; it was just that they didn't know many songs. While eating breakfast, Lin Ni suddenly felt something was off. What exactly was wrong? She felt something was amiss after she finished singing. But so much had happened that night—these single beastmen had been bothering her, and Yao had unusually become jealous—so she couldn't figure it out. She needed to calm down and think things through to clear her mind. If she couldn't figure it out, she could only put it aside for now.
Just then, Ahe suddenly walked over and handed a bunch of fruit in his arms to Lin Ni, saying, "Lin, try these fruits. They are unique to our Wanren Stone Cliff."
Linni glanced at him. Here we go again!
Ahe placed the fruit at her feet, took one of the red fruits, about the size of a baby's fist, peeled it, and handed it to her: "Try it, it's a lychee, very sweet."
Lin Ni looked down and saw that the flesh was white, just like a lychee. Such a big lychee, what should she do? If she wanted to eat it, she should. Lin Ni reached out and took a bite. It was really sweet and very juicy. As soon as she took the bite, the sweet juice flowed down her lips and hands.
Seeing that she liked it, Ahe smiled and said, "There are so many fruits at Wanren Cliff. Try them all. I'll pick the ones you like and make sure you have plenty of fruit to eat every day."
Linni finished the lychee, then washed her hands; it was so juicy that her hands were sticky. She sat down again and said, "No need, thank you, Ahe."
Ahe grinned at her: "You're welcome!"
His smile was surprisingly similar to Feng's, and Lin Ni was momentarily lost in thought.
Seeing Lin Ni staring at him blankly, Ahe smiled happily and said, "Lin, I want to be your partner, is that okay?"
"I'm sorry, Ah-He, I don't want to find a new partner for the time being." After saying that, Lin Ni lowered her head and continued eating her breakfast.
Ahe said, "I'm very capable, I can do anything, please say yes."
Lin Ni didn't want to talk to him, and the cave was quiet for a moment, with only the faint sounds of Yao and Lin Ni eating. Yao swallowed the food in his mouth, looked up and said, "Our minimum requirement is level seven to become Lin's partner. We will also observe whether you are suitable, so if you can't reach level seven in a short time, then don't try to get close to Lin."
Luo and Ahe were both disappointed, but Su, who hadn't said a word, remained unchanged. He knew he had no chance after hearing Ye say that last night; he was only level five, and there was no way he could cross from level five to level seven.
After finishing breakfast, Linni and Yao, along with Bai, Yan, Xuan, and Ling, followed Luo and Su to the cave of Chang Jin, the chieftain of the Eagle Beast Tribe. Ye, as usual, stayed behind to watch over Ye Yin and Ye Qing. Their chieftain's cave was located on a mountain south of the tribe, so Linni flew up on Yan's back. These rocky mountains were quite steep, but for males whose lowest level was seventh, climbing them wasn't too difficult.
Da Jin already knew they were going up the mountain, so he waited for Lin Ni and her group at the entrance of his cave. When Lin Ni and the others arrived, they found that Chang Shun, the chieftain of the Falcon Beast Tribe, was also there. Everyone greeted each other and exchanged compliments before entering Da Jin's cave together. Luo, Su, and Ahe, the three single beastmen, did not enter the cave but waited outside.
Da Jin sighed and said, "Lin, as you know, the fact that the Peacock Tribe has become a large cursed land is terrifying. There are too many ferocious beasts inside, and we can't fight them at all."
Thinking of that place still made Linni's heart ache. She nudged Yao, and Yao told them about the cleanup plan Linni had come up with for that cursed land: to divide and conquer it, gradually eroding it.
Da Jin and Da Shun thought the plan was excellent. Although the cursed land was very far from the Eagle Beast Tribe and Falcon Beast Tribe, they couldn't let it continue to develop. If more level nine or even higher level beasts appeared, the consequences would be unimaginable.
While Da Jin and Da Shun were praising the plan to remove the curse from the Peacock Tribe's land, Yao mentioned that Yang, the chieftain of the Tiger Beast Tribe, wanted to convene powerful figures from the Rainforest Kingdom, the vast North Sea, and the towering cliffs and overlapping mountains to discuss the matter. Since Da Jin had already sent people to the Tiger Beast Tribe in the spring, he was already aware of this. He had no choice but to wait and see what the outcome of the discussion would be.
Then Yao solemnly introduced Xuan and Ling, two prospective guardian beastmen from the vast North Sea, to Da Jin and Da Shun. Da Jin and Da Shun, who already had various speculations about these two single beastmen, looked at them with even greater surprise.
Xuan and Ling were also a bit helpless, not knowing whether they were tricked by the Beast God or by Yao. They thought it was a mission to protect the little female, but it turned out to be a mission to help the Beastman Continent clear the cursed land? So they started talking about the guardian stone tablet and the guardian Beastmen again.
The Ten Thousand Cliffs and the Layered Mountains have likely lost their lineage for a long time. The beastmen living in these two places have always believed that the stone tablets are the Beast God Tablets, and they have never heard of any guardian beastmen. Even Da Jin and Da Shun's claim of reaching the Heavenly Rank at level nine was only based on information from the Tiger Beast Tribe; they have no real understanding of the so-called Heavenly Rank. So, what kind of beastmen are the guardian beastmen of the Ten Thousand Cliffs?
Upon suddenly learning of such an important matter, everyone was a little overwhelmed. Lin Ni said, "So the method we just mentioned may not be necessary. If we can find the guardian beastman of the Ten Thousand Cliffs and have him activate the stone tablet, the cursed land can be cleared. May we go and see the guardian stone tablet of the Ten Thousand Cliffs first?"
Da Jin nodded and said, "Of course. The Beast God Stele is in the far south. You can go see it anytime you want. It's not far from our Eagle Beast Tribe. Flying beastmen can get there in about the time it takes to eat two meals of roasted meat. When do you plan to go? I'll have my tribesmen take you there."
Xuan smiled and reminded him, "That is the guardian stele of the towering cliff."
People were clearly not used to calling it a guardian stele. Perhaps, over the long years, they had come to believe that the Beast God protected the Beastman continent, so the guardian stele was equivalent to the Beast God's stele? In any case, the Beastmen of the towering mountains and sheer cliffs always said it was the Beast God's stele. Da Jin neither changed his tune nor stuck to his original statement; he simply smiled and nodded.
