84: Back to the Stele Forest

After Nan Zhisui sent Xuan Jin out, she stayed in the Cave alone, examining the small metal ball that utilized space compression.

This tiny metal ball was actually a high-tech product.

With space-folding technology, it offered a 200-cubic-meter storage space. In fact, it was a very valuable and rare item.

She had to make good use of it.

Nan Zhisui found the small animal tooth that Hu Qi had given her from her space. She carefully used a knife to bore a hole in the tooth, then placed the metal ball inside and secured it firmly with 502 glue.

After checking it over, she hung this small animal tooth space necklace around her neck.

Finally, she had the time to look at her arm.

The cut on her arm from yesterday was already covered in green herbs. It seemed Xuan Jin had gathered them for her yesterday, and he must have chewed them up before applying them to her arm.

This snake knew a bit about the medical principles of the Beast World.

Although the potions in the Beast World weren't advanced, the quality of the medicinal ingredients was excellent and their potency was high. The knife wound on Nan Zhisui's arm had mostly healed in just one day.

It didn't even need stitches anymore.

She took out a bandage from her space, biting one end with her mouth while wrapping it with one hand.

She finished bandaging her injured arm.

When Xuan Jin came in, he saw her finishing up. He walked to her side and asked, "Do you need help?"

Nan Zhisui looked up at him. Perhaps because she was leaving in a month, her attitude toward Xuan Jin had undergone a slight change.

She lowered her head. "Help me tie it."

Xuan Jin crouched down and tied a very beautiful bow with her bandage.

Nan Zhisui: "..."

Her original 'battle-damaged' look had turned into a 'girly style' because of this bow.

When Nan Zhisui stepped out of the Cave and piled up the wood Xuan Jin had gathered, preparing to start a fire, Lizard Solid and the others were still standing not far away, looking at her critically.

But when they saw this beautiful Little Female actually use a Flint to ignite the hay and then the wood, Lizard Solid and the other beastmen were terrified!

“Aaaahhh, fire!!!”

“Boss, Boss! It's on fire, it's on fire!!”

“Run! Boss, run!!”

Xuan Jin gave his subordinates a look of disdain, as if looking at country bumpkins, and then naturally sat down across from Nan Zhisui.

A small Wandering Beastman whispered to Lizard Solid, "Lord Lizard Solid, this Female knows how to use fire!"

"I heard that in the entire Beast World, only those old monsters in Myriad Beast City know how to use fire. Could this Female be related to those guys in Myriad Beast City?"

"We can't easily provoke those old monsters from Myriad Beast City."

"Exactly, exactly! That thing she took out before with the two round wheels that went 'vroom vroom' was also very strange!" (The motorcycle)

Lizard Solid waved his hand. "All of you, shut up."

He was also a bit intimidated by this Female beastman.

But his Lord Xuan Jin was sacred and inviolable!

Even a Female from Myriad Beast City wouldn't do!

When Nan Zhisui used a clean stone slab to grill meat, she added some barbecue seasoning.

The Cold-Blooded Beastmen nearby smelled the seasoning and began to sneeze one after another.

Before long, the fat from the meat sizzled out, and the sweet aroma of the meat drifted through the air.

The Wandering Beastmen's mouths began to water.

"I've never eaten it, but it smells so good."

"What kind of cooking method is this? Using fire?"

"Do you remember? Last time a bolt of lightning started a forest fire, the beasts after the fire tasted delicious!!"

"Is it that kind of flavor??!!"

"Wow! I want to eat it, I really want to eat it!!"

*Slurp slurp.* The Wandering Beastmen were salivating.

Nan Zhisui wouldn't give her grilled meat to these Wandering Beastmen who had chased her Cubs.

She wouldn't even give any to Xuan Jin!

So, no matter how much these Wandering Beastmen craved it, she continued to eat her own portion.

Refreshing!

Wandering Beastmen: What should we do? We want it even more now.

"Lord Lizard Solid, how about we be a little nicer to this Female from now on? That way, maybe we can get some of that fire-roasted meat?"

Lizard Solid: "Shut up, all of you. You're so pathetic!"

After eating and drinking her fill, Nan Zhisui prepared to head to the Stele Forest.

The Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman glanced at her arm with the bow, walked in front of her, and lowered his head to ask, "Do you want me to carry you there?"

Lizard Solid and the other Wandering Beastmen instantly looked at Nan Zhisui with hostility.

This Bad Female actually wants our Lord Xuan Jin to carry her now!!

This Female is so shameless!!!

Nan Zhisui's eyelids twitched slightly as she shook her head. "No need."

With that, Nan Zhisui took the lead and began weaving through the jungle.

She was much faster than before and vanished in an instant.

Lizard Solid and the others were stunned.

Is this shameless Female actually this fast?

But when they saw their Lord Xuan Jin disappear after that shameless Female in an instant, they immediately grew anxious!

They could only shout in a panic, "Lord Xuan Jin, wait for us! Wait for us!"

...Nan Zhisui returned to that Stele Forest once again.

Before Xuan Jin arrived, Nan Zhisui took out her phone from her space and took a few photos of the Stele Forest.

By the time Xuan Jin arrived, Nan Zhisui had already put away her phone and was walking casually through the Stele Forest.

Nan Zhisui read Qi Yingmei's words from beginning to end once more, committing them to heart. Then, she touched the other stone steles with beast-shaped characters and asked Xuan Jin, "Xuan Jin, what do these mean?"

The Little Female is illiterate?

Xuan Jin glanced at them. "The life stories of some irrelevant, stinky Males."

Nan Zhisui: "..."

"All of them?"

"Yes."

A faint suspicion began to form in her mind.

This place might be the ancestral tomb of a certain Family.

In the Beast World, such Stele Forests were rare. But if a human woman from Earth had come and led a Family to advance their culture, it would seem quite normal.

A crisp, young boy's voice rang out behind Nan Zhisui, "Who are you! What are you doing in our Family's ancestral tomb?!"

She and Xuan Jin turned around simultaneously and saw a Little Male beastman with black hair and black eyes, but with a pair of red fox ears.

Nan Zhisui was stunned by this face that looked so much like a person from Huaxia.

"Little one, who is Qi Yingmei to you?"

The Little Fox Beastman was startled by her and immediately ran back warily.

Nan Zhisui quickly shouted, "Little one, I'm not a bad person!"

Nan Zhisui's shout had no effect; the Little fellow ran even faster.

Xuan Jin's ears twitched, and he looked up. "Little Female, someone is coming."

Just as Xuan Jin finished speaking, over a dozen red Fox Beastmen suddenly appeared, each pointing a spear at Nan Zhisui.

Nan Zhisui was somewhat surprised to see the spears.

Beastmen generally fought using claws and other parts of their bodies; it was rare to see them use tools.

The spears in their hands had heads made of stone and animal bone, which were bound to long wooden shafts.

Spears allowed for a wider range of attack and more powerful thrusts. They were weapons.

This tribe actually had weapons!

Are these beastmen related to Qi Yingmei? Was it really Qi Yingmei who led this tribe's civilization forward by a huge step?

At that moment, an elderly red fox Female walked out under the protection of the other beastmen. Her face was covered in traces of plant sap, and her cloudy gaze fixed on Nan Zhisui.

"Foreign Female. You recognize the characters on the central tombstone? You know Qi Yingmei?"
