Transmigrating to the Beastman Continent to Live a Happy Life - Chapter 76

The annual exchange day came to a close as one tribe after another departed. Filled with joy, reluctance, and fear, what remained were the vibrant flower fields, the azure lake, and the faintly visible colorful hot springs.

Wu Xiaoyin watched the gradually disappearing valley, his gaze drawn to the vast green forests. Since they were searching for rice, the flying speed of Lei Lu and the others had noticeably slowed down. Even with his poor eyesight, Wu Xiaoyin could see the occasional splashes of blood and the rare moments of tranquil peace within the forest.

While Wu Xiaoyin was taking making efforts to see what lay in the forest, Xiao Kai and Bin had no trouble at all. Xiao Kai kept the idea of rice at the forefront of his mind, but since he had never seen rice, he could only search based on the characteristics described by Xiao Xiao. His eyes remained fixated, fearing that he might miss something, as if life itself could slip away unnoticed.

Muttering to himself, Xiao Kai repeated, “Expansive fields, golden color, distinct grains…” Kos was in his beast form and could only listen to Xiao Kai’s endless chatter. Otherwise, Kos would surely interrupt Xiao Kai’s exhausting monologue.

As Lei Lu and the others began to descend slowly, Xiao Kai’s disappointment at not finding rice was clearly written on his face. Seeing this, Bin hurriedly climbed down from Feng’s back and comforted Xiao Kai by taking his hand.

Wu Xiaoyin noticed Lei Lu busily organizing the open area, directing people to set up tents and hunt. He quickly jumped down from Lei Lu’s back, startling Lei Lu enough that he had to catch him with both hands. Feeling frustrated at yet another failure, Wu Xiaoyin said, “Lei Lu, let me down. I want to see Xiao Kai.”

Lei Lu spotted Xiao Kai and the others not far away, especially the obvious sadness on Xiao Kai’s face. He set Xiao Xiao down and said, “Walk carefully over, be careful not to trip.”

Wu Xiaoyin assured him that he would be careful. After all, there were still some dry branches and stones in the clearing of the forest that could easily trip him, especially with his clumsy physique. He should watched his steps.

When Wu Xiaoyin reached Xiao Kai’s side, the naturally optimistic Xiao Kai was already brimming with energy. He didn’t need further comfort or persuasion from Wu Xiaoyin.

Thinking for a moment, Wu Xiaoyin suggested, “Let’s go see if there are any edible wild vegetables around? We can also pick some fruit and see if we can find rice.”

Xiao Kai waved his hand excitedly and spoke, “Exactly, let’s go look for it.”

Bin and Wu Xiaoyin exchanged smiles. Looking at Xiao Kai who was boldly leading the way, they panted and hurried to catch up.

However, Wu Xiaoyin felt a faint gaze watching him, which definitely wasn’t Lei Lu’s because Lei Lu’s gaze was usually warm and direct. This gaze seemed to carry an air of hostility. Wu Xiaoyin glanced back for a moment but couldn’t spot its source, so he quickened his pace to keep up with Xiao Kai and Bin. At the same time, he quietly reminded himself to be extra cautious and to report back to Lei Lu later, just in case!

The three of them arrived at a spot not far away filled with giant red fruits, giant honey fruits, and giant orange fruits. Xiao Kai busily picked his favorite giant red fruits, while Bin gathered giant cabbages. Wu Xiaoyin was slowly observing the area when he suddenly noticed a small animal resembling a squirrel from Earth. It was holding something that looked like an oversized grain of rice. He quickly called out to Xiao Kai and Bin to follow this oversized squirrel.
