My husband is too wild, I need to go home and find my mom.

Chapter 106 Carving Your Own Beast Form

Only Yao seemed to be a man tailor-made for her. His looks and personality were exactly what she liked, and he understood her perfectly. He knew what she said and what she was thinking. He was there for her when she needed him, and he encouraged her with a smile when she needed support. When other couples surrounded her, he would quietly step aside. He would even mediate when they had conflicts. How could there be such a good man? Did she save the Jade Emperor's son in her past life? Is that why she was given such a wonderful man?

Falling asleep with a feeling of contentment and gratitude, Lin Ni dreamt again of that fantastical, dimly lit space. Looking at this space, where she could see nothing yet felt familiar, a question arose in her mind: Wasn't this the interior of a volcano? As the question arose, the dim space transformed once more into the interior of a volcano. Lin Ni looked at the churning lava beneath her feet, like a large pool of water. She didn't feel the suffocating heat, so she stopped looking at the dazzling red expanse below. She looked up at the dark mountain walls around her, then at the distance, where lava rivers flowed, some converging to form lava lakes of varying sizes. She tried to take a step forward, and her body floated forward like a cloud. Lin Ni controlled her body, slowly drifting forward, crossing the lava lakes beneath her feet, and then the lava rivers, until finally she saw a large lava lake ahead, its lava gushing out and flowing in all directions. Looking into the lake, the blinding red light forced her to shield her eyes with her hand, and then she heard Yao's voice: "Lin, are you awake?"

Lin Ni opened her eyes and met Yao's eyes, which flashed with golden light. For a moment, she felt as if the golden light was a spark bursting from a lava lake.

Seeing her staring blankly at him, Yao smiled and said, "Are you still half asleep? It's getting late. I was worried you might be hungry. If you're still sleepy, have something to eat before you go back to sleep."

"No, no." Lin Ni came back to her senses and also felt a little hungry. "I'll get up."

Yao got up and fetched her warm water to wash up. When Lin Ni finished getting ready and came out, she saw everyone making breakfast and felt a little embarrassed. Bai greeted her, "Lin, breakfast is ready, come and eat!"

Everyone ate breakfast with Lin Ni, and Feng happily announced, "Last night I suddenly felt that I had reached a realm above level nine. I feel that if I can break through to the Heavenly Realm, then I will have the ability to fly."

"Wow!" His words drew gasps of amazement from everyone. Linni looked at him with admiration in her eyes: "A flying tiger? That's amazing!"

Feng looked at Lin Ni with his beautiful phoenix eyes shining brightly: "All I need to do is go through one battle. I'm confident! Then I won't have to worry about where Lin goes."

The thought of riding on a three- or four-meter-long flying tiger and soaring through the sky filled Lin Ni with anticipation: "Yes, I'm waiting for you to take me flying all over the beastman continent!"

Flying across the Orcish continent! Just thinking about it gets the orcs' blood pumping! Most orcs prefer to stay within their own territories. Only flying orcs have a wider range of activities, and then there are the nomadic orcs who wander to other places when they can't stay in one. Orcs who actually go to other territories are a minority, let alone travel the entire Orcish continent. The Orcish continent is too vast, and most orcs lack the spirit of exploration for the unknown. Didn't you see that even the strongest tiger-beast tribe in the towering mountains knows nothing about the Rainforest Swamp and the vast North Sea? The Rainforest Swamp is far from the Towering Mountains, separated by the Central Forest, so it's understandable that they don't know. But the vast North Sea is adjacent to the Towering Mountains, yet they say they have no contact with it… is that due to outdated communication equipment?

After everyone had expressed their desire for a higher realm, they began to study how to carve those stone tablets.

Linni and the others left the cave, found several large rocks about the height of a person, leveled the area in front of them, and then wrote words on them with water, asking them to carve the characters following the watermarks. Yan transformed into a black eagle and used his claws to carve the three characters "First Encounter Mountain," Bai transformed into a white tiger and used his tiger claws to write the two characters "Sun Pool," and Ye used his snake tail to write the two characters "Moon Pool." Everyone was very satisfied. Linni looked at Feng and Yao, and seeing that they didn't show any unhappy expressions, she breathed a sigh of relief. However, they weren't as prone to jealousy as Bai and Ye.

Together they placed the three large stones in a prominent position, as if they had accomplished some great feat. Feng suddenly said, "We should have carved such a stone tablet back in the Tiger Beast Tribe as well."

Bai glanced at him and said, "Didn't you say that even if you carved it, no one would recognize it?"

Feng knew he liked to challenge himself, so he smiled nonchalantly: "I don't really recognize it, but it looks really good. For example, the words 'Tiger Beast Tribe' are carved at the entrance of the Tiger Beast Tribe, and there's also the Beast God Stele..." Remembering that Lin Ni said the stele wasn't the Beast God Stele, he stopped talking.

Linni nodded: "If the chieftains don't mind, we can put up a huge stone at the entrance and write the words 'Tiger Beast Tribe' on it. That would really give it a great feel. We could also carve a big tiger on it, which would make it even more vivid!"

Bai: "That's right! When everyone sees that tiger, they know it's the Tiger Beast Tribe."

Yao: "If everyone could read, wouldn't it be possible to write down what we want to say and pass it on to others?"

Lin Ni glanced at Yao, smiled and nodded. This was writing a letter; Yao had already thought of one of the wonderful uses of words.

They brought over a large stone, about three meters square, and together they smoothed out the front. They all looked at Linni expectantly, ready to follow her instructions. Stared at by five pairs of distinctive eyes, Linni felt a little embarrassed: "This isn't for carving words, so why don't you just carve your own animal shapes on it?" She looked at them: "Do you know what your animal shapes look like? Why don't you look at the mate markings on my arm and carve accordingly?"

Night: "No need, we've seen it many times, and we already know it by heart."

Linni: You don't need to explain so clearly. Then she looked at Yan, noticing that she didn't have his partner's mark on her arm yet! "Yan, you—"

Yan smiled at Lin Ni: "I also want to become partners with Lin soon. I feel like I'll be able to break through to level seven soon."

Night walked to the large rock and began to carve at the bottom of the rock with his hard snake tail. In order to highlight the eight rhombuses on his back, he did not carve them into a spiral shape, but instead carved them into a large snake that meandered upwards along the eastern rock wall. The snake's head stared straight ahead, looking ferocious and savage.
