Chapter 119 Return to the tribe
Lin Baiyan looked down at the epiphyllum mark on his wrist. He could clearly feel the mark when he first touched it; it was slightly warm.
It's a very subtle sensation that you can't detect unless you pay close attention.
At this moment, he also remembered how easily he had entered the henhouse of the Rainbow Phoenix Chickens. Only the young chicks in the tribe could barely get close to them, but when he went in, the Rainbow Phoenix Chickens in the henhouse did not react at all.
He was so focused on watching the newly hatched chicks that he was too excited to notice anything amiss.
Lin Baiyan clenched his fist, but the mark remained unchanged. Could it be that the mark's function was...?
Commanding all beasts? ??
This audacious idea suddenly popped into Lin Baiyan's mind, but then he shook his head. Was he really possessed? How could there be such a powerful cheat code?
The Beast God had only promised to give him some seeds, and even his ability to identify all things was something the Beast God had painstakingly forced upon him.
Moreover, he felt that these long-necked beasts were not under his control, but simply had no intention of harming him.
However… a dark glint flashed in Lin Baiyan’s eyes. The old man had told him before he left that the power of faith could continuously evolve.
Lin Baiyan shook his head, temporarily suppressing the turmoil in his mind. He pointed to the few long-necked beasts that had stopped resisting, "Let's take them back first."
Don't delay their journey.
As he spoke, he swiftly grabbed the wing of a long-necked beast and quickly pulled out a rope to tie it securely.
Then, following the same method, they quietly began to approach another long-necked beast that was grazing with its head down.
The male beastmen snapped out of their daze. Badger followed Pig Mountain listlessly, while two other male beastmen followed behind the priest, picking up the leftovers one by one.
There was no way around it; as soon as they approached, these long-necked beasts became extremely wary, as if they had seen something.
Shuyue and Yangye were loading the lotus root shoots and lotus roots they had extracted onto the cart.
After a short while of work, Lin Baiyan looked at the cart, now completely full, with satisfaction. "Pig Mountain, let's head back to the tribe!"
Zhushan nodded, transformed into his beast form, and ran rapidly into the tribe.
In the eastern planting area, Xiang Lei was watching the little cubs catch insects.
Since the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken laid its chicks, these little ones have become more self-disciplined and taken on more responsibility. They spend their days catching insects in the field to feed the chicks and no longer like to run around playing outside.
A rumbling sound came from the distant plains. Xiang Lei raised his head warily and beckoned the cubs to gather around him. As the sound grew closer, a cart slowly came into view.
Xiang Lei's serious expression immediately softened, and the little cubs also spotted the tiny black-footed cat lying on top of the cart.
"Wow, Priest Brother is back!" Wolfwood behind him transformed into beast form and ran back to the tribe, cheering as he ran.
Before Xiang Lei could stop him, he simply let him go, since he needed to find someone to deliver the message anyway.
Wolfwood had a very loud voice and rushed back to the tribe like a gust of wind. Before long, the orcs all knew that the priest had brought them back from the sea.
Rabbit Forest quickly came out of the big cave and grabbed Wolfwood, who was running past him.
"How is it? How is it? Where are your priest brother and the others?"
Wolfwood grinned at Rabbit Forest, pointing eastward, "They've already reached the planting area!"
As he spoke, he slipped away from Tu Lin's grasp like an eel and ran off to hawk his wares.
Tu Lin stared at the slippery brat, giving him a disgruntled look. Oh well, he'd find out when Bai Yan got back; it wouldn't be long anyway.
As Lin Baiyan passed by the planting area, he called out twice to the pig mountain ahead, signaling it to stop. Once the cart had come to a stop, the kitten nimbly jumped down from the top of the cart in a few swift movements, and was then surrounded by a bunch of little kittens.
"Priest brother!"
"Priest brother, we miss you so much!"
Lin Baiyan hadn't had time to transform into human form yet; she was still in the shape of a kitten, surrounded by a group of little cubs, with chirping sounds all around her, making her feel like she was about to be drowned in them.
While the kitten was still half asleep, Xia reached out and stroked its fur a couple of times.
The little guy quietly rubbed his palms. Sure enough, the priest's fur was so soft, just like the lynx's—super comfortable!
Ok?
The kitten raised its head warily. Why did it feel someone petting it?
It must have been an accidental bump; what little cub would dare to pet an adult like that?
Xia, the audacious little cat (≧▽≦)
Lin Baiyan, who had always been unrestrained in petting cubs, probably never imagined that one day she would be the one being petted in the opposite direction.
After playing and frolicking with the cubs for a while, Lin Baiyan finally managed to escape. He approached Xiang Lei and asked, "How is it? Is the planting area alright?"
Xiang Lei nodded seriously, "Everything is fine. The sweet potato seedlings have sprouted tiny buds, but the potatoes haven't sprouted yet."
Lin Baiyan nodded. "Please take good care of her."
Xiang Lei chuckled sheepishly, "It's all tribal business, no trouble at all!"
Seeing how reliable his friend was, while he himself had just been scolded by Zhu Shan, Badger's face became even more dejected.
His face was long and contorted with worry. "No way, no way... what if Lei joins the hunting team while I'm left pitifully watching them?"
After chatting with Xiang Lei for a while and confirming that there were no unexpected incidents, they slowly entered the tribe.
As soon as they entered the forest, Lin Baiyan sensed the changes in the tribe. Even though they had only been gone for five days, several new houses had been built in the tribe, and animal hides were neatly drying next to them.
Rabbit Forest had been waiting anxiously in the tribe for a long time. This time, only one adult male orc accompanied them on their trip, and he was very worried that something might happen to them.
As soon as he saw Lin Baiyan, he rushed over and circled him several times, his eyes constantly scanning him up and down.
Lin Baiyan spun around in front of him, saying, "Uncle Tu Lin, it's alright, we're safe."
Tu Lin didn't care about anything else. After checking him over thoroughly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and rolled his eyes at the cub in front of him. "What do you mean there's nothing wrong? You're still a cub. How could I not worry about you going out?"
Lin Baiyan gets goosebumps every time he hears this term.
He felt an urge to roar to the heavens.
When will I finally turn 18?!
