le."It warms our hearts to see you grow so well. Although this mistake separated us for seventeen years, I can't deny that it shaped you into the person you are today.""I understand that in your eyes,...Have you eaten yet What brings you here now

As ripples ate their dinner, they asked.

"Meng and I have already eaten. We came to find the Shaman because we wanted to ask if we could go with the Ape-folk Orcs to cause trouble for Forest Chieftain"

Dú had a gleam in his eye, practically bouncing with eagerness. Though he didn't speak, his expression clearly conveyed the same sentiment.

"You guys must be itching for a fight, wanting to stretch your limbs. Wasn't the last one satisfying enough"

Ripple smiled and asked.

The messenger acted too quickly, not giving us a chance to react.

He smiled alone and flattered, "Having witnessed the iron-fisted methods of ripples, he's now obedient as can be, never going west when told to go east."

"Alright, if you want to help, just talk to the clan leader directly. But since this is helping out, everything will be arranged by the clan leader."

"Yes!"

The two readily replied, then left the ripple's treehouse resting place. Tuanzi obviously wanted to join in the commotion too. He hadn't seen the previous battle of the monkey tribe, but he had smelled the blood.

Ripple tapped the little dumpling's fluffy head and immediately voted no!

"Little one, don't think about these things before you're an adult. Have you finished the capture training I arranged for you

"

These two days I've been a bit busy with the monkey clan, so I neglected you. You just know how to spend all day playing around!"

When Tuanzi heard Lianyi's words, his small eyes flickered slightly, obviously he hadn't completed the task, so he was a little cautious and timid.

"Look at that guilty look in your eyes. After you eat, go complete today's training and make up for what you owe."

The little bun let out a whimper in response, and suddenly found the meat paste in his mouth tasteless. However, he obediently finished his meal and went to complete the task assigned by his mother.

Three days later, the chieftain arranged for Ripple to go find the families of rice and wheat, carrying back three super-sized animal skin bags. Ripple was then called over.

Looking at the three sacks filled with unprocessed grain and rice, ripples' face also lit up with a smile. Things were much simpler now. The female members of the ape tribe were all dexterous and separated the wheat and rice. They then shelled the grain and rice and dried them in the sun. After drying, the grains were crushed into flour, while the rice was directly steamed and ready to eat.

Because there weren't many things to pack, everything was sorted out in three days. Ripple taught the female apes how to steam rice and make flatbread, noodles, and buns from milled wheat flour. She even showed them how to mix cornmeal with wheat flour to make steamed buns, opening up a whole new world for the female apes.

The village chief was so excited that he rubbed his hands together. He tried every dish, even though each one on its own wasn't particularly flavorful, but when paired with meat or other fruits and vegetables, it became quite delicious.

"Messenger, where these things are found, I have already had the tribe mark them. When the season of plenty arrives, we can go and gather them."

"Your territory should be more suitable for growing this kind of food. This thing can grow on the ground, you can also look around nearby, there should be more discoveries, birds and insects also like to eat it."

"I've already made arrangements for all of this. For so many years, we haven't even known about this kind of food under our own noses. Otherwise, how could the clan not have grown larger"

The chieftain was still somewhat regretful.

"Now you know, right! The development of the clan is also step by step, don't be too hasty."

Ringlets smiled and then asked:

"When are you planning to set off for the Forest Queen's territory My two followers also want to go along and lend a hand."

We have set the date, we leave tomorrow.

Then, Wuzhi and I will pray for you in the tribe, wishing you a victorious return!

"Thank you, messenger!"

On the second day, as dawn broke, Chief Gen led the way himself. Accompanied by the tribe's male ogres, they quietly left their village and headed for the territory of the formidable forest giant they had previously scouted.

Ripples and Witch watched them leave, then everything went back to normal.

Ripple was not stingy with these, after explaining the principle of suturing, she even demonstrated it live for her, of course, the props were a piece of a two-pronged elk's thigh.

Ten days later, Chief Gen and the warriors of the ape tribe returned to the village. Many were injured, but none had gone back to the embrace of the Beast God. Meng and Dú also returned safely, though Dú looked rather wilted.

But wasn't it going smoothly

The ripples asked directly.

"This time it was a bit dangerous, luckily I went with [Person's Name]."

This time, the reply was surprisingly talkative from the usually taciturn Maverick.

Ripple gestures for Meng to elaborate on the details.

Because the Forest Kui were attacked by divine envoys twice in a row, they were terrified. After leaving the ape tribe territory, they retreated to their own base and scattered along the way. They found their nest but dared not approach it for fear of disturbing them, so they quietly sent someone back to report.

We were able to find our way so smoothly because someone led us. But when we reached the territory of Forest King, there was trouble within their ranks.

A strange tree appeared out of nowhere, growing from the very center of Forest King's lair. The Forest Kings were panicked and scattered in all directions, seemingly terrified of the tree.

The chief thought it was now or never, so he rallied his tribe and surrounded the frightened forest creatures. With little effort, they defeated the terrified forest goblins.

At the same time, the strange tree suddenly extended its long roots and began to attack the ape-men. They were unaware of the situation, and several beastmen were caught. Only then did they realize that the tree was sucking their blood.

The chieftain, acting decisively, ordered his tribe to attack the strange tree, rescuing the trapped beastmen while devising a plan to destroy it.

When we were attacking the ancient tree, we discovered that as long as there was a sufficient blood supply, its roots would keep growing endlessly, making it impossible to defend against. In the end, we came up with a way to defeat it.

Meng said this, shifting his gaze to Duo. Duo then continued:

“That strange tree was sucking blood, so let it suck my venom. I gathered some local materials and caught a red-horned lizard foraging for food. I injected all of my venom into its body, then threw the still-living prey to that weird tree.”

The monstrous tree hadn't let up on the red-horned lizard, its roots coiling and sucking it dry. Then, it continued to attack us, but at a slower pace. It seemed like the tree realized something and started breaking off its own roots, trying to get rid of my venom that way.

Of course, we wouldn't miss this opportunity. We immediately rushed forward and uprooted the strange tree, tearing it to shreds. At the base of the tree, we discovered many corpses of the Forest Guardians, as well as some orcish bones.

Both Meng and the clan leader were cautious, gathering all the severed roots together with that strange tree and burning them. The smell while it burned made us all sick.

"No wonder you smell so bad. Didn't you notice that the dumplings are all staying away from you"

Ripples teased.

"We've all been washed three times with snow water!"ng and Hongtu to return."Kate said softly."Yes!"Everyone tensed up and, following the squad leader's orders, began inspecting their gear.Here, Ouyang had already seen the ripples of the scene passing...
