Chapter 92: Developing Beast Marks

tions to the higher authorities, all mentioning that there were military affairs at the border and asking him to take some action, implying that he should come up with a solution himself.The magistrat...Sang immediately transformed into his beast form and followed the scent. When he reached the tree hole, he found the scent of ripples becoming more intense. Sang searched the surrounding area but couldn't find any trace of Ripples. However, it was certain that Ripples had stayed here for a while.

Sang was a little irritable because he still smelled the scent of other beastmen. He wasn't sure if this beastman had saved Lianyi or if Lianyi had been taken away against her will, either way, it wasn't what he wanted to see.

Only when the sun was about to set did Sang dejectedly return to the tribe. However, he kept to himself the fact that Ripples was still alive. He subconsciously concealed it from everyone.

Yann Jia had been waiting outside Sang's cave, her expression full of anticipation. When Sang returned, looking troubled, she immediately rushed to him, asking with concern:

"Sang, have there still been no ripples of news"

"Hmm! The smell is completely gone! I have no idea where to look for her."

"Sang, this isn't your fault! You don't need to blame yourself. You've been looking for it for half a month now. If you don't participate in the hunt soon, you won't even have food. I believe Lianyi wouldn't want to see you torment yourself like this."

A flash of joy crossed Yan Jia's eyes, then she deliberately wore a sorrowful expression and said.

“Although I don't want to say it, this time, Ripple did have some responsibility. She left the harvesting team on her own, and when she was discovered, the guard team's people immediately went looking for her. Unfortunately, there was no sign of her. The guard team couldn't leave the other females behind to go find her alone, so they missed the best time.”

"Li-an is usually very cautious and doesn't like to stray from the group. Did she say anything to you before leaving"

"Sang asked the Way."

Because she didn't say anything, I didn't know when she left. If she had told me, I would have definitely stopped her from leaving the team.

Yan Jia frowned and said.

San took a deep breath, then said:

"Yan Jia, thank you for advising me. I will resume hunting tomorrow, you don't have to worry."

"That's good, this is the stew I made, you eat some, so you have the energy to participate in the hunt."

Saying that, he shoved a black clay pot at Sang and waved goodbye.

As Sang watched Yan Jia's petite and lovely figure disappear, a strange feeling arose in his heart. He didn't turn back until he could no longer see her shadow, then he turned and entered his dwelling.

All of this was seen by a woman of the same type as ripples, she looked at Yan Jia's back full of suspicion and ill will, but her gaze towards Sang was extraordinarily complex.

Her name is Dodo, and she is Lianyi's best friend. On the day Lianyi disappeared, she clearly saw that Yan Jia and Lianyi had said something to each other, which made Lianyi overjoyed. After speaking for a few words, the two of them went their separate ways.

Unfortunately, she was digging potatoes at the time and didn't pay much attention. When she realized the ripples were gone, she had no idea when the other person had left. She told the chief about this.

Unfortunately, Yan Jia was very cunning. When the chief asked her, she said openly that Lian Yi had only asked her how to make potatoes taste better and that they hadn't spoken about anything else.

Because Yan Jiajiao is small and cute, and she found a new food source for the family, no one doubted her words, except for herself.

Because she knew very well that Yan Jia liked Sang, but after learning that Sang already had a betrothed, she restrained herself somewhat.

But Yan Jia's eyes betrayed her. Her gaze towards Lian Yi held indifference and aversion, while her look at Sang was one of restrained affection. As someone who had been there before, she understood this all too well.

And San looked at the two people with different eyes. Towards Lianyi, it was a kind of overly familiar (ren) indifference, but towards Yan Jia, it was the focused attention that something new and interesting attracts. She saw it very clearly.

Duo Duo touched her belly. She was already pregnant with the cub, so she couldn't go out looking for Lian Yi. However, she had a feeling that Lian Yi should still be alive, and she would wait to see how long these two people would endure.

On the other side, ripples rode alone, strolling leisurely through the forest. As she walked, she explored the power within her beast sigil totem. After more than a month of exploration, ripples had indeed discovered some secrets.

When ripples alone channel the power of the beast totem into the body's meridians, it is like cultivation, strengthening both physical strength and power. When she releases the power within the beast mark, she can communicate with different elements in the air and request their aid to achieve her goals.

For example, when she was captured alone, the vines felt her desire and coiled around her body until she could not move.

And when she was hungry, she could find edible plants and animals near by by touching them, which greatly expanded her diet.

While walking in the forest, you will inevitably encounter wild animals. Not long ago, they encountered a group of musk oxen. Each musk ox was as big as an ordinary cow, making their mouths water instantly. They immediately decided to hunt a few back.

He rolled his eyes and said:

"That wasn't one, it was a whole group. They had powerful hooves and sharp horns on their heads. I couldn't bring down all of them as a single beastman."

"Trash!"

Ripple glanced at the other person and said faintly.

The next moment, she activated her beast seal, the wet soil transforming into sharp spikes. Before the antelope could react, they pierced its softest belly. In an instant, the smell of blood wafted far and wide.

"What are you standing there for You can't hunt, can't even drag the prey!

"

Ripple kicked the lone foot aside, saying in an unpleasant tone.

Having come to his senses, he didn't even let out a fart before grabbing a vine and tying it to the prey.

The ripples were measured, killing only five musk oxen. The rest of the herd, frightened, had already run away under the lead of their leader.

At this moment, the ripples staggered. She had just exerted the power within the beast seal to kill five sheep, and she felt somewhat drained. This body was still a bit weak and needed further strengthening. Fortunately, she had managed to get away without letting the other party discover her weakness.

When he returned, the ripples had guided the power within the beast mark, traveling throughout his body and restoring him.

"We need to get out of here, it's too bloody in here!"

"We're approaching the outskirts of the Black Snake tribe's territory now. I know of a cave where patrolling orcs take temporary rest, with common supplies inside. We could go there."

Okay, I'll go now and have the patrol ogres deliver a message for us.

Ripples nodded and, with a mere tap of her toes, leaped onto the back of the unicorn.

Unafraid, he immediately slipped into a patch of low bushes and vanished in an instant. Shortly after they left, a green-brown crocodile followed the scent of blood.

Two hours later, he entered the territory of the Black Serpent Clan alone, with ripples trailing behind him. After entering, he headed straight for the temporary cave.

Fortunately, there were no orcs inside the cave. He let out a sigh of relief and began to process his kill for this trip.

The ripples gave him away, leaving a whole yak behind. She was planning on roasting it whole. The scent of meat drew the patrolling orcs over once it started to cook., he knew that his wife must be feeling unwell, so he specially came to comfort Lianyi.Ripple didn't care at all, but she wouldn't show it. She just tapped Lin Yaozu's chest with her finger and pouted...
