Chapter 80 Is Yao the messenger of the Beast God?
Linni thought he had made great progress and nodded in praise: "Feng, you're really amazing!" Then she suddenly turned to Yao: "Yao, everyone transforms into beast form to hunt, but you can't transform into beast form. How do you hunt? Do you just use your fists?"
Yao smiled and said, "No, I made some sticks out of the heartwood. It's less strenuous than using my fists."
Linni asked curiously, "What does it look like? Can I see it?"
Yao nodded, then went directly to the corner of the wall outside the house and brought it in. Linni looked over and saw that he was holding a wooden spear that was nearly two meters long. The spearhead was sharpened to a point, somewhat resembling the spearhead of an ancient spear. In his other hand, he was carrying a long bag made of animal hide, with ropes attached, which he would have worn while hunting. Inside were four short wooden spears, each one meter long. Linni looked at his weapons, then took the spear and examined it closely. The wooden spear was very heavy, feeling like it was made of iron, and it had a cool touch. Then Linni explained some common weapons to her companions: spears, swords, knives, hammers, and clubs. Having these weapons would indeed make hunting much easier, but the beastmen didn't have iron-making skills, so they couldn't make many things. Moreover, their claws were exceptionally sharp, capable of digging through rocks, so they didn't need any tools. Linni gave Yao two small suggestions: 1. Add some barbs to the wooden spear so that it can hook onto the prey when it pierces its body, preventing it from escaping; 2. Tie rope (vine) to the wooden spear so that it can be more flexible and can be pulled back after being thrown.
Several men were greatly impressed by her words, and Bai Zhongxin exclaimed, "Lin, you're amazing! You even know these things!"
Linni smiled shyly: "Actually, I've always wanted to go hunting by myself."
Feng immediately refused: "That won't do! I don't agree!"
Linni glanced at him. His firm opposition must have left him traumatized by his injury during a hunt with his mother. However, given her physique and speed, the idea of hunting with her partner was just a pipe dream. So she stuck out her tongue and said, "I was just thinking about it. I didn't say I was really going to go with you."
Night said, "You can stay in the tribe. We will prepare plenty of food for you."
After tidying up their loot for the day, the group went back to their rooms to rest. Lin Ni was still sleeping in Yao's arms. She snuggled against him for a while, finding Yao's arm the most comfortable to rest her head on. Feng and Bai's arms were too thick and too high to use as pillows, which she wasn't used to. Once settled, Lin Ni shared the news she had heard from Yi that day with everyone.
Knowing how dire the situation was amidst the towering mountains, everyone felt a bit heavy-hearted.
After sharing the news she had heard, Lin Ni wanted to tell everyone her thoughts, so she asked, "Yao, do you think the stone tablet is the Beast God Tablet?"
Before Yao could answer, Feng and Bai said together, "The stone tablet is the Beast God Tablet."
Lin Ni said directly, "I didn't ask you!"
Maple and White: Okay.
Lin Ni looked at Ye: "Ye, have you ever seen the stone tablet on the towering cliff?"
Ye said, "No, but everyone says the stone tablet is the Beast God's Tablet. The beastmen of the Ten Thousand Cliffs say so too. Because most of them are flying beastmen, they often fly to the stone tablet in the far south to pray for blessings. Judging from what they say, the stone tablet at the Ten Thousand Cliffs and the stone tablet in the towering mountains should be the same."
"What do you think, Yao?" Lin Ni asked again.
Yao looked a little confused: "I don't know, I don't think so."
Linni: "I don't think so either." After a while, she said with difficulty, "I think—the Beast God—is—" She couldn't say the three words "in the volcano." So she closed her eyes and silently repeated in her heart: The Beast God is in the volcano, the Beast God is in the volcano in the middle of the central forest, the Beast God is in the volcano in the middle of the central forest!
Suddenly, Lin Ni thought of Yao's companion mark—a burning flame—and her heart surged with turmoil. She turned to look at Yao: "Yao!"
After a long period of contemplation, the four men, almost asleep, opened their eyes to look at her upon hearing her exclamation. Night and Yao were already used to this; Yao opened his eyes and looked at her, saying, "I'm here!"
Linni grabbed his hand: "Yao, are you the messenger of the Beast God?"
Yao: "I don't know."
Linni kissed him: "You must be the messenger of the Beast God!"
"Why?" Yao asked, voicing everyone's unspoken question.
Lin Ni suddenly didn't know how to explain, so she just nodded and said, "You are the one I was talking about."
Yao smiled: "Okay, whatever you say."
Linni's inner thoughts: Could I be the legendary chosen one? Because a crisis has struck the Beast God Continent, the Beast God has chosen me to save the world? Analyzing Yao's companion mark as a flame, he shouldn't have a beast form. This special person, unconscious in the place where he appeared in this world, and without any previous memories—could he be a fire spirit from a volcano? If the Beast God is indeed in the volcano, then sending a fire spirit to retrieve me makes sense! Moreover, Yao uses red power, the same color as the power emanating from the volcano—that's it!
Yao is probably the messenger sent by the Beast God to the modern world to pick him up. Once he accumulates enough energy, he will most likely regain his memories. Then, after helping the Beastman continent drive away the invading evil forces, he can return to his original world! Yeah, that's how it was portrayed in the anime I watched as a kid! I am the savior chosen by the Beast God!
Lin Ni thought to herself with delight, then hugged Yao and kissed him hard. Finally seeing a glimmer of hope to go home, Lin Ni happily lay in his arms and meditated on the power of the Beast God.
Yan, who had been away for a long time, finally returned in the afternoon. After arriving back at the tribe, he flew directly back to the stone house and found Linni, who was picking bamboo with Yao, in the back mountain. Linni was teaching Yao how to make a bow and arrow so that they would have a means of ranged attack.
Yan Fei descended and transformed into human form. He walked up to Lin Ni and looked at her with eyes full of longing: "Lin, I'm back!"
Lin Ni stepped forward and gave him a hug: "Yan, you've worked hard! How did the investigation go?"
Yan hugged her back: "The situation is not good! I just missed you so much that I came to see you first. I will report the situation to the clan leader in a while."
Linni nodded; she could guess that the situation was probably not good.
Yan's gaze was so intense it seemed to be glued to Lin Ni: "Lin, you're getting more and more beautiful! Your skin is so white it's practically glowing. I've never seen a female who's whiter and more beautiful than you!"
