The Plant Master Becomes A Mute Sub-Beast: Farming And Laying Eggs
Chapter 94: Sweet Dew
"Rank five?"
Jaxon’s footsteps stopped abruptly, and the people stepping forward to welcome the Chief also froze. They stared fixedly at Sane and Kaelen, holding their breath waiting for an answer.
Sane nodded slightly. Instantly, the atmosphere in the tribe practically burst from Barton’s roar:
"Rank five! The Chief has broken through to rank five!"
Tears streamed down Jaxon’s face. He placed a hand over his eyes wanting to hide them, but his body trembling incessantly to the rhythm of his sobs betrayed him. Zale and Nordhal could not hold back; they approached Sane and emotionally punched his shoulder.
It had been a very long time since low-tier tribes like theirs had someone above Rank 3.
Kaelen waited for everyone to calm down, asking: "How long were we in here? Why do I feel like it has been a very long time?"
Jaxon sniffled: "Eleven days..." Then he stiffened, looking at Kaelen in disbelief: "Kaelen, you, you..."
Kaelen smiled: "Yes, I can speak now."
"Beast God bless us!" The elders choked up almost simultaneously, expressing their gratitude to the Beast God. They could not say anything more, only embracing Kaelen and patting Kaelen like a child. Kaelen’s eyes stung; he opened his arms to hug everyone, comforting them in return.
The tribesmen quickly heard the news as well, all of them sobbing uncontrollably. The elders who had watched Kaelen grow up could not help but tear up, endlessly thanking the Beast God. This child was truly favored by the Beast God.
The others became even more certain of Kaelen’s identity as A Divine Emissary, the reverence in their eyes deepening further.
Sane watched this scene, the corners of his mouth curving up slightly. He turned to ask Zale:
"During the few days I was absent, did anything important happen?"
Zale wiped his tears, saying: "A lot..." He organized the events a bit, then sequentially presented each issue for Sane to hear. Sane listened in silence until the end, occasionally nodding to show he understood the matters.
"You all did very well. Is Nordhal still at the frontline right now?"
"That is right." Sane nodded, his mood somewhat heavy: "The enemies are all former clansmen, they even threw Sub-Beasts out to block the way..."
Those Cipher people were truly shameless; they did not bother to show their own faces, pushing all of Obsidian’s beastmen onto the frontline. Furthermore, using Sub-Beasts made it impossible for Crimson’s beastmen to strike decisively.
"We intended to advance one step closer to see if we could reclaim Obsidian or not, but them using this method has caused the battle to drag on for more than ten days."
Sane’s eyes flashed with a cold light, asking: "How are those Obsidian people? Did they have any hesitation upon seeing Nordhal and their former clansmen?"
Zale clenched his fists tightly: "They charged forward without a single moment of hesitation! Those fools!"
Nordhal was even stabbed and injured by his former mate, but fortunately he still had some guard up, so it was only a flesh wound. He did not even show mercy for their old relationship, breaking Rubi’s limbs and throwing Rubi back to their camp. Perhaps initially Nordhal still held some hope for Rubi, wanting to rekindle their old romance, but after that stab that nearly hit his heart, he completely let go.
Sane cracked his neck, the corners of his mouth lifting into a hair-raising smile:
"Pass down the order, our tribe needs to expand towards the Southwest now."
"Understood!"
Zale felt his blood boiling fiercely, immediately turning around to notify those below. For a moment, the entire tribe echoed with roars full of thirst. Hiding away in the tribe planting trees and baking clay was too boring; they needed to release their excess energy. Sorin led the Sub-Beast team running over, demanding to participate at all costs.
Kaelen finally separated from the adults’ embraces, approaching Sane, and said: "Are you planning to deal with them right now?"
Sane stroked Kaelen’s hair, saying: "Didn’t you like that place? I will go take it back for you."
Kaelen pouted: "I do not really like it that much, I just feel regret for the resources everyone worked so hard to find. Taking the resources is enough, as for the people... you decide what to do."
If it were not for the fact that there was still too much work needing to be handled, he would also want to join in a bit. Kaelen said with a bit of malice: "Take the Divine Energy team along too."
Sane burst out laughing, rubbing his mate’s head. Sending the Divine Energy team for such a small battle was a bit overkill, but the mate’s purpose was exactly to slap their faces, so Sane also humored Kaelen’s wish. Didn’t they say his mate was a demon? Let them see what they had missed out on.
"I am leaving now." Sane kissed Kaelen’s lips once, then threw his fist into the sky: "Move out!"
The teams dispatched to join the battlefield simultaneously raised their fists. The moment they lowered their hands, the warriors transformed into their beast forms, rapidly running in the direction of Crimson. Although the march was urgent, the formation was not chaotic at all. The Sub-Beast team led by Sorin jumped onto the backs of Chapman’s team 3 beastmen, setting out for battle together. Being able to go to battle for the first time, the Sub-Beasts all trembled with excitement. They never thought there would be a day they could go to the battlefield.
The army quickly went far away; Kaelen followed them with his eyes until they disappeared from sight, only then turning back to look at Jaxon and Collins:
"I was absent for more than ten days, can you tell me the specific situation in the tribe?"
"Yes, you two leveling up caused widespread lightning rain, the old place could no longer be lived in, so we moved everyone to the new valley." Jaxon walked parallel with Kaelen, saying: "We will head back there now, I will tell you as we walk."
"Yes." Kaelen turned his head to look at the prairie, then looked at everyone gathering over there, saying loudly: "Everyone, the matter is over, hurry back to work. Tonight I will personally go to the kitchen, we will celebrate first. Wait until the Chief returns, we will throw an even bigger feast!"
"Hooray! Long live the Little Priest!"
"Brother Kaelen! Brother Kaelen! I want to eat sweet and sour ribs!"
"I want to eat crispy fried water beast!"
"I want to eat sweet grass honey braised meat!"
Each kid jumped up and down, starting to place their orders. The adults burst out laughing, scolding affectionately: "You gluttonous bunch, your guts are truly getting bigger and bigger. Having the Little Priest cook for you is already a great blessing, yet you still dare to whine and demand to eat this and that!"
Kaelen burst into laughter: "It is fine, it is rare for the tribe to have a happy occasion. Whatever you all want to eat, I will cook it all!"
Asher laughed uproariously, then put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "Alright, hurry and go to work! If you do not finish your work, write lines fifteen times as punishment!"
Everyone: "..." What a demon!
Kaelen watched the crowd that was just gathering instantly disperse in a split second, sighing in admiration that the power of a teacher truly could not be underestimated. He turned back to ask Asher:
"The tribe’s work has not been affected these past few days, right?"
Asher nodded: "A little bit. The wild animals caught to be domesticated were struck by lightning and turned into cinder, and there isn’t a single one left in the surrounding area. If we want to catch them, we have to go further away.
However, after the lightning stopped, rain fell; this rain was very strange, it could heal wounds to a certain extent, revive plants, and boost the growth of living trees. Moreover, everyone said that this rainbow rain made their bodies healthier, and a few people even said they felt as if a certain type of energy appeared inside their bodies."
"Rainbow rain? What is it like?"
"I kept some right here." Nyx took out a rain-catching bottle from his bag, saying: "This rainwater is very hard to collect; despite doing everything, only this one bottle remains. We planned to save it for the kids who went out and haven’t returned yet. Take a look, does this thing still have any effect?"
Kaelen accepted the white glazed porcelain bottle, opening the lid to take a look. A crisp, cool fragrance hit his face, making his spirit feel incredibly refreshed. Looking closely at the water in the bottle, layers shimmered with every ripple of the water. Kaelen’s eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment, his mouth dropping open slightly.
This was... Sweet Dew? Was it the auspicious rain after every heavenly tribulation of the mighty figures in the cultivation world that he used to read about in novels in his past life? Looking at this color, it was actually quite concentrated. Unexpectedly, this thing also existed in the beastmen continent.
Kaelen remembered Sane’s form after leveling up, feeling that this was closely related to Sane growing dragon-like horns and possessing both Divine Energy and Beast Energy. However, this could not be verified yet, so Kaelen had to use a temporarily acceptable explanation to tell everyone:
"This thing is called Sweet Dew, it is a blessing from the God, incredibly good. Collecting so little is because it only retains the purest essences. This thing cannot be drunk directly, it needs to be diluted. As for the ratio... just do two parts normal water to one part Sweet Dew."
"Sweet Dew? The name sounds really nice."
"Sigh, I really don’t know when the kids who went outside will return. It has been almost a month, hasn’t it?" Collins sighed.
Mentioning Walter’s group, Kaelen became worried again: "I do not know if the messenger group managed to catch up to them or not. Right now, the situation on the other side of the magic beast forest is very complicated; I am just afraid they might run into a predicament like Christian’s trio."
Talon sighed and said: "They probably caught up. I already told Anthony to leave marks along the way; if they didn’t encounter any obstacles, perhaps the messenger group will catch up to them today."
Nyx patted Kaelen’s shoulder, saying gently: "Rest assured, they are all children favored by the Beast God, nothing will happen. Do not worry too much."
Kaelen tightly gripped the porcelain bottle in his hand, nodding heavily.
