Ch 222 Beast Era (9.3)
“Don’t worry. When we successfully complete the mission, the world consciousness will awake again. At that time, you can even go on playdates with it.” BaoBao was immediately cured by XunMi’s thinking.
[Madam Host, let’s start the experiments tomorrow!] He was more determined than XunMi to get the mission moving. XunMi shook her head helplessly.
The woman and her pet played in the brooks until late at night before returning home. In the cave, XunMi comfortably rolled around her large bed. Luckily, she had kept furniture in her inventory even after the apocalypse. Luckily, her foresight paid off.
BaoBao wholeheartedly agreed with her planning: since Madam Host was coming to do a mission, she should get the best possible treatment.
Like that, XunMi spent two months within the depths of the Center Forest. During this time, she didn’t do much else besides catching a few little animals or curing a few injured beasts.
Food? Her inventory had her covered.
Clothes? Her inventory had her covered.
Entertainment? Her inventory had her covered.
But today, XunMi randomly felt a bit frustrated. There seemed to be something in Center Forest waiting for her. She packed up her things in the cave, picked up BaoBao, and walked out. After this period of experimenting, she had become much more familiar with practicing medicine. She could now recognize most animals and plants, especially those that were applicable in stopping blood loss.
As she walked, a crowd of rabbits formed behind her. Or more accurately, a group of Long-Eared Beasts. These were the first ones that XunMi had harmed in her experimenting. However, they never held a grudge against her. Every time they saw XunMi, they hopped with excitement.
XunMi thought, perhaps they might have gained an addiction to masochism. When she walked farther out into Center zone, XunMi immediately smelt blood.
Someone was hurt!
To her, the smell of human blood was different than the smell of animal blood. Human blood was lighter while animal blood was more pungent.
With a flash, she moved through the path of trees and finally jumped up onto a large tree. She attentively listened to the movement in the distance. There was a red flower up ahead, resembling a rose.
Before XunMi could take a better look, large red flames began to flash. Within the flames was sparks of white light, followed by orange light.
XunMi and BaoBao both watched dumbfounded. What was this situation? They didn’t understand it at all.
“BaoBao, give me the original book.” XunMi felt like she must have overlooked something. After flipping through the original work once again, she finally saw what she had missed. These beast people have special abilities! But they weren’t all OP, but there was still a large difference between the abilities.
Those with abilities were the ones that didn’t necessarily have a great body. Meanwhile, those that didn’t have abilities had robust and fierce physical prowess. It was like one group was meant to be the mages while the other group were soldiers.
XunMi silently wiped invisible tears. As expected, the world consciousness would still be able to scam her. After reorienting herself, XunMi decided that she was going to become a doctor with curing abilities.
“Someone was severely injured. BaoBao, let’s go take a look.” XunMi hugged BaoBao and jumped down from her perch, heading towards the previously glowing area.
“Who’s there!” Before even arriving at the clearing, XunMi heard a voice call out sharply. The voice was a bit hoa.r.s.e, as if the owner was exhausted, but still melodious.
“A female’s scent? How can there be a female here?” A higher pitched voice spoke immediately after, followed by cracking of tree leaves as gra.s.s and straw were wacked away.
XunMi knew that this meant that someone was walking towards her direction. She looked up in despair at the skies but stopped her steps to wait for the newcomer. She hung a picture perfect small gentle smile on her face, appearing friendly and welcoming. Her eyebrows were beautifully lined, her eyes clear and sparkling. Between the misty fog, her pair of clear innocent eyes and delicate features stood out. Ink-black hair hung on her back. With the light breeze, her hair blew up and landed back onto the back of her white gown, covering her shoulders and collarbones. She stood amongst the red flowers with a light smile, as if she was the most alluring fairy of the forest.
Yuan He felt as if a fire started in his chest. It was continuously sparking outwards uncontrollably, as if it was ready to erupt.
“I apologize for disturbing you. I just came to investigate after smelling blood.” Xun Mi took a few steps forward while speaking warmly. Her gaze travelled through the group, noticing that everyone had some not too light injuries on their bodies.
“What trouble did you guys encounter? Why do you look so pitiful?” Immediately after speaking, XunMi remembered that this wasn’t modern times. She couldn’t speak so casually. “I apologize. It’s just, as a doctor, I’m a bit curious to know more information after seeing your injuries. Do you mind me taking a look at that injured beast man?”
The group looked at each other. To them, females weren’t dangerous at all. But this female suddenly appeared in the middle of Centre Forest, making them a bit suspicious.
“Which tribe are you from?” Yuan He tried his best to make his voice appear less cold. Meanwhile, the rest of his group shivered. What happened to their clan leader? Was he angry? So scary!
XunMi blinked. “I’ve always lived here. I don’t belong to any tribe.”
Seeing that they didn’t appear aggressive, XunMi bypa.s.sed the large beast man standing in front and headed in Yuan He’s direction.
Her dear husband was really handsome. Such big eyes, such muscular physique! He was almost two meters tall, with eight pack abs. And that bronze skin! Oh no, she needed to stop looking, she was going to drool.
XunMi smiled softly and stopped in front of Yuan He. “My name is XunMi. You can just call me Mi.” In this beast era, it seemed like they usually used single-character names to show approval and favorability of each other.
XunMi watched with satisfaction as her husband’s ears turned red underneath his hair. She squatted down to examine the severely injured beast man fainted on the ground. “His injuries are pretty urgent. He needs immediate treatment or he will die.” XunMi frowned. His wound was gapping wide right across the abdomen. It looked like he had bitten by something. If his team hadn’t intervened, he might have been cleanly bitten in half.
“Bring him and follow me. We can’t stay here for long since there’s such a heavy smell of blood on your bodies.”
