Chapter 163: Risk

Wu Yue looked at the beastfolk beside her with a look of delight: "Teng Qian, did you eat garlic?"

Teng Qian scratched their head embarrassedly: "Maybe, I just saw a wild beast eating it, so I picked it up and tried a bite; who knew this thing would be so tasty."

Teng Qian covered their mouth, looking troubled.

Wu Yue looked speechlessly at the tall, sturdy beastfolk beside her: "You don't even let the beasts' food go..."

Teng Qian raised their chin proudly: "Of course, I don't even let the beasts go, let alone their food."

Wu Yue: "..."

What you say makes sense, I am actually speechless.

She stood up with a look of disdain: "Next time you go out hunting, bring me some of this plant back."

After speaking, she turned and walked out: "I'm going to brew herbs; I feel that staying with you for too long will make me mentally challenged."

Teng Qian trotted after: "I still remember the place, bringing it back for you is no problem."

But you need to tell me what 'mentally challenged' means, is that a compliment?

Wu Yue nodded with a smile in her eyes: "Yeah, very powerful, drooling and talking nonsense, pooping on animal skins."

Teng Qian: "..."

This little female really thinks they're stupid, is she saying she's an idiot, or the kind that can't take care of themselves?

Sure enough, after getting close to our general, the little female has been corrupted.

Such idiot creatures must have been told to the little female by our general.

Teng Qian, are you free now? Disturbing Yue's herb brewing here!

A familiar voice came from behind, Teng Qian's skin tensed instantly.

He mutters a few sentences that he's capable, but these past few days being cleaned up by the general too often has left an indelible shadow on his young heart.

So when Wu Yue looked over, she saw the beastfolk who had been smug earlier now slinking away with a fawning smile.

That back view, it looks like being chased by a dog.

Father and they just discussed that once the injured tribesmen recover a bit, we'll set off back to the tribe; the beast crystals obtained from this hunt are enough for us to level up.

Yuan Lang sat beside Wu Yue, speaking softly.

Wu Yue nodded: "I'm fine with that, but what you said about leveling up..."

She looked at the handsome, sturdy beastfolk beside her: "Do you all need to come hunt fierce beasts in the deep forest for your future leveling up?"

Yuan Lang looked toward the direction outside the canyon and nodded: "Hmm, upgrades above silver rank must be assisted by fierce beast cores; the higher the rank, the higher the level of fierce beast crystal core needed."

Also need shamanic medicine to soothe the violent energy; if only consuming fierce beast cores, it's easy to burst and die during leveling up.

Wu Yue heard this and was startled; she didn't expect that beastfolk cultivation could be so dangerous.

"If assisted by shamanic medicine, then one won't burst and die, right?"

Yuan Lang gazed at Wu Yue with deep eyes, chuckling: "That's not necessarily true; the path to gaining power has never been smooth, the deeper the shamanic power, the more effective the shamanic medicine brewed."

But even after taking the shamanic medicine, there is still some danger during leveling up.

You should know that each year, not a few beastfolk die from leveling up.

Wu Yue fell silent; in that case, cultivating shamanic power, though boring, is safe—at least it won't endanger life.

"Host, if you think that way, you're wrong."

Tongzi's voice sounded in Wu Yue's mind; this time his voice carried a hint of solemnity.
