Chapter 271: Chapter 270: Useful Stone Knife_1
Without further rejection, he lifted the python and draped it over his neck. "Thank you then. When I get back, I’ll craft a few stone knives as a token of my gratitude. The females in our tribe love to use such knives. They are sharp and won’t hurt your hands when cutting meat."
Speaking of his tribe’s specialty, Ying Da was instantly filled with pride.
Ji Nuan nodded with bright eyes. This was just perfect, a handy knife at last. Heaven knew how many times she’d blistered her hands from using the stone knives in the tribe.
Xiu Yan proposed, "Starting from tomorrow, you can wait for us here at noon. We’ll hunt together."
Ying Da looked overjoyed. "Really? Will I be bothering you?"
He knew well that Xiu Yan’s offer to bring him along on the hunting sessions was only because he happened to save Ji Nuan’s life. Otherwise, such good things would never happen.
Xiu Yan confirmed earnestly, "I give you my word. Ji Nuan’s life is worth much more than this small Snake Beast."
Excitement flushing his face, Ying Da thought about when the Beast Wave would finally relent. Right now, the tribe’s section was only using up the food stock without any replenishment, and people were beginning to lose hope.
If they could hunt with Xiu Yan and the others in the future, there’d be food in the tribe. Thinking of this, Ying Da’s face turned red with excitement.
Ying Yan looked at his flushed face and shook his head, "You better hurry up and return with the Snake Beast. You seem exhausted."
Upon hearing that, Ying Da nearly forgot to flap his wings out of vexation, "I’m not weak, I’m a formidable eagle beast. I’m excited, not tired."
However, Ying Yan nodded encouragingly, "Sure is, you’re excited not tired. Now, hurry back, we are also leaving. You might land yourself in danger."
Ying Da: ...
Your expression says otherwise!
At this moment, Ji Nuan adds, "Ying Da, Ying Yan is right. You better hurry home. With prey on you, if it gets late, you will attract the Beast Group."
Ying Da nodded, "Then you two should also go home early. I’m leaving first. I’ll wait for you here tomorrow."
He said this and then, flapping his wings laboriously, headed towards the Dashi Tribe.
Ying Yan and the others looked at Xiu Yan and Ji Nuan. Clever as they were, they turned around to clean up the hunted beast’s corpse and the crispy fruit saplings.
Xiu Yan moved Ji Nuan to sit in front of him on his arm. He gazed at her with a deep look. "Until the Beast Wave retreats, you should not leave the tribe."
Ji Nuan pursed her lips but didn’t refute Xiu Yan. She obediently nodded, "Alright, I understand."
She was not a disobedient beast. Females didn’t have any means to defend themselves. Like this time, if Ying Da hadn’t happened to save her, she might have ended up in a snake’s belly or a beast’s stomach.
Seeing Ji Nuan obedient like this, Xiu Yan finally relaxed, this experience had truly terrified him.
"Xiu Yan, Ji Nuan, we should also get going. It’s getting dark, staying here any longer would just attract the Beast Group." Ying Yan and others carrying the beasts and carrying or lifting baskets came flying over.
