Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 105

“Uncle Kun, do you remember if there were any floods during the last drought? Did the river overflow into the tribe?” Wu Xiaoyin looked at the tribe chief and asked.

“Yes, there was. The flood at that time washed away all the hard-earned animal meat we hunted. The males had to eat giant potatoes and sweet potatoes with the females and cubs. I was just a cub back then, and I barely survived!” Kun recalled, still shaken by the memory.

Wu Xiaoyin pressed further, “Were there any cases of tribe members getting sick after drinking the river water, or did anyone get sick after the flood and then infected others?”

“Yes, many females experienced diarrhea and vomiting at the time, which scared the males who treated them like treasures, haha!” the tribe chief laughed heartily.

Wu Xiaoyin thought, typical beastmen! Their robust bodies could endure what would have sent people on Earth straight to the hospital, not to mention whether they could survive after coming to the hospital. “Aside from these, is there nothing else? No high fevers that spread to others?”

Kun shook his head affirmatively and said, “No cases of spreading. If you say diarrhea and vomiting can spread, then maybe. After all, most of the females and cubs had this condition at that time, but I clearly remember there was no high fevers. If there had been, how could the females and cubs have survived?”

The priest who had been invited by Lei Lu also added, “Indeed, the continental records don’t mention such occurrences. There are only the diarrhea and vomiting among females and cubs.”

Feeling relieved at their replies, Wu Xiaoyin nodded and said, “That’s good to hear. You know, in my homeland, floods are often accompanied by outbreaks of disease. Of course, this was before medical advancements. People would pile up at the village gates and there was no time to cremate the bodies. Such a tragedy!”

“So, even if nothing has happened on the Beastman Continent, we can’t let our guard down. We still need to prepare a large supply of giant ginger and giant spicy fruit. As for herbs, I’ll have to rely on Uncle Luo.”

Hearing him mention such story, Luo felt a bit uneasy about the females and cubs’ health. He said, “Alright, I’ll prepare the herbs. The herbs we exchanged on the previous exchange day are enough for several years, but it’s always good to have more!”

“Oh, we also wanted to share some good news. We found clay by the river that can be used to make pottery jars. If the water quality gets contaminated, the females and cubs will likely experience vomiting and diarrhea. Pottery products will help better preserve our water resources. Plus, by digging and widening the river, we can prevent the risk of flooding. This adds another layer of security for us.”

Kun and Luo listened to Wu Xiaoyin’s words and considered the possible results and preventive measures. They both agreed on the importance of pottery-making, which should start with Wu Xiaoyin since no one in this world knew how to make pottery. As for the digging of the river, that responsibility would fall to the younger generation of beastmen like Lei Lu. After all, young beastmen had plenty of energy during this hot season!

Wu Xiaoyin started the pottery-making with great enthusiasm. From shaping to drying in the shade, digging kilns for firing, and cooling and many more, he was hands-on throughout the entire process. There was no way, he was the only one in the continent who knew this. After two months of hard work, he had lost a lot of weight.

Just as he began to regain some color in his face, the effort took its toll, leaving him looking a little thin. Meanwhile, the beastmen managed to widen the riverbank by a full ten meters in two months. The females and cubs also diligently used clay to make pottery for storing water. Compared to the beastmen who only tanned a bit, the females became more capable and the cubs grew more responsible. Wu Xiaoyin, however, seemed to wither away until unrecognizable.

His body had never been the one to gain weight easily. Since arriving on the Beastman Continent, he had been slowly gaining strength, but after all this busyness, he had lost more instead of gaining weight. As Lei Lu jokingly said, he had lost weight that was equivalent to giant rabbit beast’s legs! Given that a giant rabbit beast in the Beastman Continent could weigh over 100 pounds, with each leg weighing around ten. Wu Xiaoyin’s original weight of about 100 pounds had dropped to around 80 pounds and his height was at 170 cm. He was practically disappearing because of how thin he was!

Despite this, Wu Xiaoyin felt that his body was still the same. Aside from becoming thin, he found himself to be more healthier. So when he heard Xiao Kai shouting about his weight loss again, he snapped, “I’ve just toned up. I’ve turned all that fat into lean muscle, you know?”

Xiao Kai poked Wu Xiaoyin’s arm, which had hardly any flesh left, and said, “Where’s the meat then?”

And just like that, it was Xiao Kai versus Wu Xiaoyin, KO!
