Chapter 133: A Resurgence
I need to seize the opportunity."Emilio immediately adjusted his facial expression, straightened his robe, and went to find his father.On the other side, the ripples rested in Sol City for three days...Sang didn't feel anyone chasing him from behind, and only then did he let out a sigh of relief. However, he didn't dare to be careless. He didn't want to end up like Yan Jia, so before Liyin forced him to swear an oath, he ran away. He admitted that he was scared.
Messenger, shall Sang be driven out of the Lion Clan
The chief asked in a low voice, this is not something glorious after all.
"No, he needs to live and return to the tribe."
The ripples punished Sang afterward, and no longer cared about the other's life or death. After all, a beastman who couldn't transform into a beast form was the best food for beasts, and he was alone, the chances of him being able to return to the tribe were very small.
With the two pesky critters dealt with, Ripples felt a sense of relief wash over her. She then dove into the main task at hand, helping the lion pride identify some newly discovered food sources.
Looking at the items being identified one by one, along with instructions on how to use and consume them, Elder Tanz’s smile grew wider.
After that was done, the chieftain rubbed his hands and said:
"Ripple, are you ready to return to the Lion Guard This little cub..."
"Chief, I still have my own mission to complete and cannot return to the tribe for now. Lei is a cub adopted by me from the Tiger Clan. I promised his mother that I would teach him well."
"Your clan will not stop you from fulfilling the Beast God's entrustment, it's just that taking the young one with you is a little inconvenient. We can take him back to the tribe first."
The chief still tried to propose.
"No, I'll teach him myself!"
Ripple laughed and refused, then took out a beast skin scroll and pointed to the Blood Sap Tree on it, talking about mutated plants.
The ape tribe was nearly ambushed by the Forest Demon King because of this tree, and the Forest Demon King almost destroyed his own clan for nurturing this strange tree.
And the Beast God told me that this blood-sucking tree demon has taken root in the Beast World, and every tribe must be on high alert. If discovered, it must be utterly eradicated without leaving any chance for resurgence."
After hearing this, he also gasped in surprise. Looking at the tree drawn on the animal skin scroll, his brows furrowed. He had never seen such a tree before.
"Can I have this pelt I want to take it back to the tribe, let the elders examine it, and show it to all the beastfolk. We should memorize the appearance of this strange tree so that if we find any during hunts, we won't miss the opportunity."
"I have prepared this animal skin scroll for each tribe, hoping that you will take it seriously. According to the Beast God's guidance, this object was brought by that calamity star, Yan Jia, and will lead to the extinction of our beast race."
Ripples spoke of the worst outcome.
The chief, who had always been very concerned about this matter, now placed it above all else. Upon returning to the tribe, he would tell everyone. The chief put away the animal skin scroll and said goodbye:
"Ripple Messenger, I want to talk to the roots of the ape clan and see if they can give me more clues."
Because the ripples caused this strange tree to be spoken of in awe, even affecting the development of the entire Beast World Continent, the beast people who came to the grand gathering paid great attention. Coupled with the fact that the ape-folk beastmen who had already been attacked by the blood crystal tree appeared and spoke out, everyone was on high alert.
After ten days, this gathering of the beast tribes came to a successful end. The various beast tribes and merfolk exchanged salt, and they could choose coarse salt or refined salt according to their abilities.
The Beast Tribe clans also brought out their own specialties and exchanged them with other clans for what they needed, considered a fruitful harvest.
And around the ripples, there was another male beastman of the Lionheart Clan, Mad. The chieftain's intention was very straightforward: Ripples came from the Lionheart Tribe, so how could she not have followers from her own tribe
Although Ripples had declared that she would devote her life to serving the Beast God and wouldn't form a contract, Dan still arranged for a powerful warrior to follow her, ostensibly to protect her. Ripples didn't refuse, and so, with three beastmen and a young cub in tow, she embarked on a journey through the Beast World.
...And as the harvest season approached, ripples of news reached her from the various orc tribes: they had indeed found the blood-soaked trees, but they were different from the descriptions given by the ape tribe's chieftain. They were noticeably weaker and clearly not yet fully grown.
Since it was confirmed to be a Bloodthorn Tree, the orcs’ claws naturally came out and began the eradication of the Bloodthorn Trees.
When Lei was fifty years old, the Kryptonian Tree seemed to have vanished from the Beast World as if it never existed. There wasn't a single piece of news about it.
But the progress of Ripple's task was still incomplete. She had no choice but to continue staying in the Beast World Continent. Fortunately, the lifespan of beastmen ranged from three to five hundred years, so she had plenty of time to grind with this alien plant.
This time, Ripple once again chose the path of a gradual revolution. She traveled between different tribes, beginning to teach the orcs about farming and animal husbandry. Gradually, they moved out of their caves and into spacious houses. The young ones learned not only how to forage and hunt but also the written language of the Beast World.
Ripple moved steadily according to her original plan, starting to push the development of the entire beast world. The three followers beside her became her loyal executors, gradually influencing the surrounding beasts.
Especially Lei, because he grew up beside the god Ripple since he was young. His starting point and perspective were much higher than ordinary beastmen, and he was also the beastman most influenced by Ripple.
After a hundred years of development, the beast tribes have broken down the barriers between tribes and formed larger cities. Beastmen also choose to live together, and females choose their partners from a wider range, leading to fierce competition among beastmen. Not only do they show off their muscles, but also their wealth and intelligence. In short, they compete in everything.
Both female and non-binary orcs can make their own fortunes through hard work, becoming independent individuals rather than relying solely on male orcs for survival.
On this side, both female and neutral beastmen are deeply grateful to the Ripple Divine Envoy. It was the divine envoy who taught them planting, raising livestock, medicine, tailoring, brewing, cooking delicacies, and many other means of making a living. They have also contributed to the development of the beastman world.
The Shamans still each guard their territories, protecting the beastfolk. They also cultivate outstanding successors to pass on their Shamanic abilities.
In the second century after the emergence of the krypton blood tree, its hidden dangers finally erupted. Although this strange tree had disappeared for a long time, the beastmen still remembered it. So when the first small town was attacked by the krypton blood tree, the beastmen with overwhelming strength immediately joined the task of fighting and eradicating the krypton blood tree.
Finally, here it is!
Ripple sighed, then called Lei over.
Lei was already two hundred and fifty years old. He had his own mate and cubs, and he was still the chieftain of the Northern Beast Tribe orcs, holding his position for a century with his superior combat power. He was originally planning to retire, but because of the return of the Blood-Cry Tree, he was summoned back by his mother beast.
"団子"
"Mother Beast, if you have any orders, please do not hesitate to give them. I will complete them for you."
Ripples just said two words, Lei immediately followed up, and the guards beside him clenched their mouths tightly, not letting themselves laugh out loud.
"Alright, the Matriarch won't waste time. You organize your tribe and uproot every Bloodthorn tree, root and branch. And make sure you find the Mother Tree. Got it"
"Understood!"
Then, this is the only weapon that can kill the mother tree.
Ripple smiled and handed a sword to Lei.er was found in the alley. There were three sets of footprints in the snow, matching Song Qingmei's description.How about your classmates“I don’t know, we ran in different directions. I guess he proba...
