There is no place for those beastmen on this continent. So many small beastmen have met with misfortune; if I have the ability to keep them but turn a blind eye, how will they survive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric recalled the first time he saw those small beastmen; they were even more miserable and pitiable than human slaves:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And my tribe also needs beastmen to join. Only when everyone’s strength is gathered together can we stand firm on this continent, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balu couldn’t refute because his Ox-Head tribe was the same. It was precisely because all the Ox-Head people gathered together that they avoided many disasters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Hadu tribe will forever be our friend,\" he said solemnly to Eric: \"No matter what trouble you encounter, we will not stand by and watch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm current rose in his heart, and Eric smiled, his eyes curving: \"Thank you for helping us so much. I know you are worried about us, but on this continent, those who mark time in place can only be swallowed up. No matter how unwilling, one cannot struggle free.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balu laughed loudly; he praised: \"You are the wisest beastman I have ever met. If you were an Ox-Head person, I think Patriarch Tu would definitely let you be the successor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balu gave such high praise that Eric felt ashamed to accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came from an era with a complete system and had witnessed many changes. Although he had never been a class monitor, anyone who had studied history knew that isolationism was a path to destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how strong beastmen were, if they encountered humans inventing nuclear weapons, they could only take the beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans in this era also had formidable mages, warriors, and knights, as well as other professions. The leaders of humanity could also threaten beastmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Eric had come here, he naturally hoped his tribe could be well. Standing still could only lead to being beaten, just like the Scorpion-Tailed Lion that nearly destroyed the Thomas tribe in the original work; who knew whose hand was behind that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accepting small beastmen had risks, but risks also came with rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did the tribe gain many tribesmen, but it also laid the foundation for multi-racial coexistence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there were still many small beastmen escaping on the continent who had nowhere to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If news that the Hadu tribe had their companions spread, it would certainly attract other small beastmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the Cat tribe alone had tens of thousands of members, large and small. Nearly half had escaped, plus other races; currently, on the Fantasy Continent, there were many beastmen fleeing outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that this step needed to be taken slowly, developing the tribe’s strength while continuing to accept small beastmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If too many were accepted at once, attracting the attention of the Golden Kingdom, even if they paid the same price, they would certainly be given a hard time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The current Beast King was not a reasonable beastman. From his style, one could see that the Beast King from the Golden Lion tribe was both tyrannical and lacking in empathy, a cruel and ruthless individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hadu tribe wasn’t close to the Kingdom, but ultimately, they were on the same continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tribe couldn’t run anywhere; only by becoming strong would others dare not easily make a move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking the wild vegetables Balu gave him, Eric ran to the riverbank again and picked many flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time when making essential oils, he discovered that the scent of flowers was still more fragrant and also better for human skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beastmen could only smell if a flower was poisonous or not; the effect when applied to the face still required humans to test a small amount to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hydrosol and essential oil of the Big-Mouth Flower applied to the face caused a rash, but stopping for a few days cleared it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other flowers had no side effects, but the best effect came from a pink flower resembling a lotus, also growing in the river. It was just that there were no lotus roots underneath, which made Eric regretful for quite a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This flower had no name, so Eric called it a lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its hydrosol had a sweet taste and a faint fragrance, while the essential oil had a stronger scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After applying it to the face for a few days, that person’s skin was clearly much softer and smoother, and even whitened a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This effect was no joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Women in his past life spent so much effort to whiten their skin, but in the end, using foundation was still the fastest effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this hydrosol acted directly on the skin. Eric could imagine how many nobles would go crazy for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobles of the other world, regardless of gender, paid great attention to their image, even somewhat excessively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lotus was a low-level spiritual plant. Its skin-beautifying effect was even better than some high-level spiritual plants; indeed, every trade has its master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Big-Mouth Flower couldn’t be used for skincare, its dyeing effect was the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric used its juice to make quite a lot of fragrant soap. Currently, it was still waiting for saponification; it would be usable in over a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only drawback was that its fragrance wasn’t as strong as modern fragrances, but the natural scent was quite pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Big-Mouth Flower had another benefit: it was a carnivorous plant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric planted quite a few in the courtyard. In the hot weather, mosquitoes and insects were inevitable, and the Big-Mouth Flowers resolved this problem thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of kindness, Eric even planted a ring of Big-Mouth Flowers along the base of the wall in the courtyard of Henry next door. Although not as beautiful as other flowers, they were very useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that Henry’s expression when he saw that ring of Big-Mouth Flowers wasn’t very good...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the only time Eric saw him lose his composure like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking the lotus petals one by one and crushing them, then using linen to filter the flower juice, followed by the distillation process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, Luban had been given a lot more work, and the other Dwarves weren’t idle either, so Eric still used the wine distillation set to make perfume and essential oil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, once used to it, Eric even felt this set was easier to use than the small one; one go could produce a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent of the perfume lured a swarm of bees, among which several were attracted by the scent of the Big-Mouth Flowers. Not knowing life from death, they approached until they landed on the petals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the flower, originally gorgeous and fragrant, suddenly opened a mouth full of sharp teeth from the stamen, instantly swallowing the bee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The juicy purple petals instantly became even more brilliant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eric had seen this scene many times but still couldn’t help but secretly stick out his tongue. Indeed, beautiful things could only be viewed from afar and not trifled with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This insect-catching efficiency was even more formidable than beastmen...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up abruptly, slapped his forehead, and said in frustration: \"Eric, oh Eric, you are truly stupid to death!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t this a ready-made insect-catching divine tool! It could emit a fragrance to lure insects and could even eat them - green, clean, pollution-free, and effortless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pesticides in this era were very limited. Balu and Kiet led beastmen to find a type of yellowish-brown root; the water boiled from it had an insect-killing effect but was also harmful to plants. Every time after spraying, the crops would wilt for a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The insecticides of alchemists were similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if these Big-Mouth Flowers were planted in the fields, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could exterminate insects in the fields without harming other crops; this flower wasn’t vegetarian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, the Big-Mouth Flower didn’t compete for nutrition with crops because the nutrition of this flower basically came from prey...\u003C\u002Fp>",1345,"2026-06-03T07:40:37.459Z","2026-06-03T07:40:45.551Z",1,"novelbin.me","193fbee7d232e6f1d78b24d51ad23864d82079142863aab5b350a14100318ebf","i-transmigrated-into-a-fantasy-world-to-farm-and-chapter-399","i-transmigrated-into-a-fantasy-world-to-farm-and-chapter-397",500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-transmigrated-into-a-fantasy-world-to-farm-and-cover.jpg"]
