Chapter 90: Collecting Interest
to Corlia:"Have your beast companion A Yin assist Sir Grey by going in first. Through the contract, relay what your beast sees to us so we have a clear picture of the cave's situation before we make...Liàn Yī sat by the stream, catching her breath. Only then did she look at the unconscious black snake, a cold smile curving her lips.
When she saw the black snake earlier, she had an idea. It could fulfill the original owner's wish, avenge the original owner, and ensure her safety in the forest during this time.
After resting, Lianyi stepped forward, pried open the black snake's mouth, and with a slight force, pulled out both of its venomous fangs in one go.
The black snake, Hei Sha Du, was awakened directly by the pain. Although his head was still fuzzy, a pair of vertical pupils reflected the slender female holding his fangs. His tail instinctively twitched up, wanting to coil around this hateful female.
How could Ripples give him this opportunity She directly used her pulled-out venomous fangs to fiercely strike Black Snake's head. The terrifying "dong dong" sound rang out again. This time, with the hard venomous fangs, after a few hits, Black Snake fainted once more.
The whole stream was eerily silent, the only sound being the rustle of leaves in the wind. Sensitive animals had all fled the area, and even the normally restless beasts around were subdued by the presence of the black snake's aura. They knew well the power of the beastman and didn't want to become its prey.
Ripple rested for five minutes this time, then disassembled the leopard meat and her own washed leather skirt, along with a pair of fangs bound to Black Snake. She grasped Black Snake's seven-inch black spot, dragged it back to her tree hollow base.
Early in the morning, they started fighting. Lian Yi's stomach was growling so loudly she suspected she could eat a whole cow right now.
Back in the hollow, she unloaded everything. She didn't care about the black snake's life or death, so she took out the stone pot, wrapped the flint in animal hide and started a fire, then simmered the diced leopard meat. Finally, she picked up the venom fangs she had pulled out with her bare hands, found a stone, and began to grind them little by little.
These things were all habits cultivated by the original owner, and Lian Yi's ancestor adapted very well. After all, in the cultivation world, hunting a few monsters was the most basic training.
When the poisoned fang knife was half-honed, the leopard meat was already stewed. A whiff of meaty fragrance drifted into Lian'er’s nose. She sniffed it and put down the bone knife in her hand. She came to the stone pot and directly inserted a piece of meat with a branch. She tentatively took a bite. The meat was seven points cooked and chewy. Her eyes lit up, and she started eating greedily.
A whole pot of stewed leopard meat went into Lian Ri's belly. She also drank a bowl of soup, then burped contentedly, wiped her mouth, and slowly opened her mouth to speak:
"Since you're awake, revert back to your human form. Don't pretend to be unconscious there, or I won't mind peeling off your snake skin. I quite like snakeskin bags."
Dú originally planned to wait until this ferocious female finished eating and resting before seizing the opportunity to kill her. Unexpectedly, she had already discovered that he was awake. Dú carefully shifted his snake tail and, through his beast-shaped totem, transformed back into human form.
Looking at the man before him, who was two meters tall, with fair skin and a somewhat effeminate face, with long black hair, Lian Yi gave the other's bloodstained lip corners a disdainful glance before speaking.
“My name is Ripple, I am a female lion, and your attack on me in the territory of the Lion Clan today is a provocation against the Lion Clan. For the next year, you will serve as my mount and follower as compensation for your attack on me.”
Upon hearing this, a sinister glint flashed in Dú's solitary eye.
Liàn Yī had long known that this infamous and ferocious otter wouldn't go down without a fight. Conveniently enough, she'd already eaten her fill. She stood up, stretched her neck, and rotated her wrists, preparing to loosen her muscles.
Although Lian Ri was a female Orc, she wasn't short. She stood at a height of 1.8 meters tall. However, standing before this male Orc, Du Ke, she still seemed somewhat petite. Combined with her slender frame, it was clear she didn't have much chance of winning.
But Doku didn't think so. When he transformed into a beast, the other party could knock him unconscious and even pull out his teeth. He didn't feel confident in his ability to win, so Doku took a step back, preparing to run away. If he couldn't fight, he wouldn't be caught.
Unfortunately, ripples didn't give Du this opportunity. This was her favorite mount, how could she just watch it run away right under her nose!
The next instant, as if sensing Ripples' thoughts, thick vines the thickness of an arm suddenly surged from the dense woods surrounding them, wrapping themselves directly around Duo's limbs.
Although Du's strength was great, a little effort and he tore apart the vines. Unfortunately, the endless supply of vines kept coming forward, one after another, to entangle him. In a short while, they had wrapped him up like a zongzi.
And at this time, Ripple felt that the beast mark totem on her brow was warming up, and the vines that kept coiling around her seemed to be summoned by her through the beast imprint.
Now is not the time for research. Ripple takes a step forward, straddling "Zongzi Du" directly, and then raises his fist, aiming at Du's pale and gloomy face. It would be a brutal beating, every punch landing with full force, without any mercy.
When Ripples read the original body's memories, she saw very clearly that this was exactly how Duo treated the original body. She was now simply returning the favor in kind.
If she hadn't been targeted by Du, he wouldn't have danced in front of her, and she wouldn't have done anything more. After all, the original her only wanted to avoid an unfortunate fate caused by Yan Jia, she didn't want to take revenge on Du. But now that Du has come to her doorstep himself, she will collect some interest on behalf of the original owner.
Hitting someone is also a matter of strength. Only when the one being hit had a bruised nose and swollen face, covered in blood, did Lian'er stop. She shook her hands, which were smeared with bloodstains, and felt her stomach grumbling again.
Then she continued to stew the leopard meat. After eating and drinking her fill, she went on to beat the tied-up lone wolf. As long as he didn't beg for mercy, she wouldn't stop, and she would beat him three times a day.
When Du's face was unrecognizable, a horrifying sight that left one helpless, Lian Yi took a day's rest and began to sharpen her two venomous curved blades. This made Du's eyes burn with fury, but unfortunately, he couldn't break free from the vines binding him. Even when Lian Yi slept, Du failed to escape.
After the two venomous curved swords were sharpened, Ripples returned to her usual routine of beating Zuo Du. She continued this way until all the black panther meat was consumed. Then, Ripples prepared to go hunting and check on the place where she had been in danger to see if Sang had come looking for her.
When Lián Yī walked up to Dú, Dú shivered and then spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Don't hit me anymore, I promise to fulfill your conditions and be your mount."
"Why didn't you just agree in the first place Now I had to go through all that trouble of beating you!"
Liàn Yī said without mercy, then directly ordered:
"You, now swear to the Beast God that for the next year you will be my mount and loyal follower. Should you break this oath, you shall have your intestines burst forth and be devoured by beasts!"
His pupils constricted, knowing his little thoughts had been seen through once again.
Don't try to fool me, I wouldn't mind killing you directly!
As the ripples of her words fell, she drew out a honed bone blade, its edge glinting menacingly, and slashed directly at his throat.t day the temperature began to rise. Ripples took out her thermometer and measured it; it had risen by ten degrees overnight. She knew that an extreme heatwave was coming.As expected, the temperature...
