Chapter 141: Strong Ability

Over the next few days, Wu Yue took charge of caring for the injured Beastfolk together with the few Beastfolk who had stayed behind in the cave.

Meanwhile, Yuan Lang and the others would shuttle through the forest each day, scouting the locations of the various fierce beasts, and then...

They pick the soft persimmons to pinch.

The Beastfolk's self-healing ability is no joke; in just a few days, when Tongzi used his clairvoyance to check, the bones had already begun to heal.

When she looked at him admiringly, the Beastfolk said proudly, "What's this? We Beastfolk also have a special way to recover."

Wu Yue naturally looked at the injured Beastfolk with curiosity.

The Beastfolk's answer to her was a super-strong sleep ability that could last three days straight without waking.

Later, a Beastfolk told her that when Beastfolk sleep, their bodies' healing ability is at its strongest.

Watching the Beastfolk snoring loudly asleep in the cave, Wu Yue suddenly thought of herself back in school.

She hadn't learned any special skills at school, but she could sleep all day without sleeping pills and dance all night without stimulants—a special ability she had definitely gotten.

So the Beastfolk's godlike sleep must also be innate.

"We're back." Suddenly, voices of the Beastfolk sounded from outside the cave, and Wu Yue immediately got up and ran out.

All that could be seen was a few Beastfolk standing there excitedly discussing something, while only Teng Qian had a grim expression.

Wu Yue walked over and patted that guy's arm, saying, "What's wrong with you? Everyone looks happy, only you're frowning."

Perhaps hearing her question, the surrounding Beastfolk all laughed together.

The territory we went to scout today is that of a fierce beast called the Compliant Ape.

Wu Yue looked puzzled: "Compliant Ape?"

What does this Compliant Ape have to do with Teng Qian's embarrassed expression?

Yuan Lang lightly laughed as he pulled Wu Yue's arm: "Come out for a moment, I have something to discuss with you."

Having said that, he straightaway pulled the bewildered Wu Yue out.

Before a certain little female could fly off the handle, he went on to explain: "This Compliant Ape is quite special among fierce beasts; their tribe consists only of females, with no males."

Wu Yue exclaimed: "Only females, no males? How do they reproduce then?"

Yuan Lang's eyes were full of smiles: "This is the reason for Teng Qian's bad mood."

Hearing him say that, Wu Yue suddenly had a bold guess: "It probably isn't what I'm thinking."

Yuan Lang raised an eyebrow: "What are you thinking?"

Wu Yue gave a dry laugh, speaking softly: "Could it be that those Compliant Apes find males from other tribes to reproduce with?"

Yuan Lang's low chuckle reached Wu Yue's ears: "Smart."

Wu Yue let out a low cry, covering her mouth, her eyes unable to hold back laughter: "So you mean that Teng Qian, when he went out with you earlier, was spotted by those Compliant Apes who wanted to take him back... to mate?"

Taken aback by her wording, Yuan Lang gave her a surprised look, chuckled lightly and nodded: "Mm."

Hehe...

Wu Yue burst out laughing: "I don't believe only Teng Qian is like that; could it be that your looks don't meet the Compliant Ape's aesthetic?"

Yuan Lang raised an eyebrow: "As long as they're male, the Compliant Apes like them."

Wu Yue's face was shocked, then she let out a light sigh and stood up, patting the Beastfolk's shoulder meaningfully: "It seems that when you Beastfolk hunt fierce beasts, the dangers you face are quite diverse."

There are even crises of virtue, or being... by the fierce beasts... tsk tsk tsk...
