Thriving in the Beast World

Chapter 907: Chapter 912: Gathering

Yayi didn’t even glance at Mei Yan, just kept walking ahead, her tone still very casual, "It depends on your performance."

Mei Yan looked puzzled?

What did ’It depends on your performance’ mean?

Yuehong poked Mei Yan on the forehead and said, "Why are you acting like a silly roe deer, it means Grandma Yayi is not going to tattle to the chieftain."

Immediately, Mei Yan’s face lit up with joy, "Really?"

She ran over to Yayi’s side, bubbling with excitement, "Grandma, Grandma, are you really not going to tattle to the chieftain?"

Yuehong: "..."

Shaking her head with a sense of helplessness, she turned to Su Tang, "I think she’s just a silly roe deer."

Su Tang pressed her lips together, smiling softly.

However, she noticed that the female they called Grandma Yayi also had a touch of amused helplessness in her eyes.

Returning to the Tribe.

In front of the cliff, several bonfires had been set up on the open ground.

Many Beastman females were gathered around the bonfires, roasting meat and laughing merrily.

It might have been Su Tang’s imagination, but these bonfires seemed to form a circle, intentionally or not.

In the center of the circle, there lay a slaughtered unknown beast, its blood staining a large patch of ground red.

Yuehong pulled Su Tang to sit in front of a bonfire, whispering in her ear, "Don’t be scared, this is the offering we will use for the coming-of-age ceremony for the cubs tonight."

Looking somewhat astonished, Su Tang asked, "The cubs? Are many cubs having their coming-of-age ceremony today?"

"Yes, it’s quite challenging for a priest to conduct a coming-of-age ceremony, so we gather all the cubs of similar age to hold it together." Yuehong paused for a moment then continued, "Um, there are twelve cubs participating in the ceremony this time."

Hearing the number, Su Tang expressed surprise, "That many?"

Considering the size of the Tribe, it didn’t seem too large, hardly more than a few dozen people at a glance.

Yuehong, seemingly understanding Su Tang’s thoughts, smiled softly, "Actually, what you are seeing now is only a small part of our Tribe.

Many Beastman warriors are out hunting, and others are secretly protecting the cubs who are preparing for the coming-of-age ceremony. The females too have gone gathering and will only return in the evening."

"I understand." Having received the information she wanted, Su Tang went back to fidgeting with the roast meat in her hands.

Beneath the glow of the fire, Su Tang’s cheeks were rosy and felt a bit hot.

This was her first meal since her transformation, and her appetite had clearly increased a lot, on par with a normal female in the Beast World.

After eating the roast meat, they rested briefly.

Mei Yan and Yuehong soon organized several young females to go gathering in the forest, including Su Tang and Grandma Yayi.

Natural to the Silver Wolf Tribe, there were no such wonders as baskets; they still used the most primitive beast skin for carrying things.

A young female carried a piece of beast skin, and accompanied by five Beastmen, they meandered through the forest near the Tribe.

Because the Beastmen often cleared it, the nearby forest generally didn’t have large ferocious beasts, making it relatively safe and a suitable place for the females to gather.

"Ah! Su Tang, come quick, there are so many spiky fruits here!"

Spiky fruits?

Su Tang walked over at her own pace, and upon a close look, confirmed they were indeed chestnuts.

Su Tang thought, if Yuanyuan’s brother from the Winged Tiger Tribe hadn’t been killed by such spiky fruits, the Tribe would have eventually discovered the presence of chestnuts, much like how the Silver Wolf Tribe had now.

"Su Tang, you haven’t eaten this before have you? These spiky fruits are really tasty!"
