At this moment, Cortis and Bai Qingqing were in the forest. Seeing smoke rise ahead, the previously dejected-looking Bai Qingqing pointed excitedly in the direction of the smoke and exclaimed excitedly, “There!”

Once they got to the village, she’d have an opportunity to seek help. She hoped that this was a larger village and that formidable beastmen resided there.

How could Cortis not see what Bai Qingqing was thinking? However, he felt no fear at all, speedily swimming towards that place.

Once they were out of the forest, they saw square-shaped golden rice fields on the grassland, one on the east side and one on the west side, each field merely 100 square meters or so.

It was the hottest time of the day, yet there were male beastmen with black horns on their heads bent over removing the weed. They slogged over this small plot of rice field, to the point of being drenched in sweat.

The excited Bai Qingqing looked at them with a scorching hot gaze, hoping they would be able to help her.

Sensing someone was here, the males looked towards Bai Qingqing and Cortis in unison.

Bai Qingqing stared at them hopefully. Cortis’s snake form already made clear his identity. If they had the ability, they would definitely drive out Cortis right away.

Those males looked stiffly at them for a moment before bending over and resuming working as though nothing had happened. Yet, their hands and legs were shaking violently against their will.

Bai Qingqing felt an emptiness in her heart as she slumped on Cortis’s shoulder as if all strength had been drawn from her.

“Those living here are herbivorous beastmen, so they’re naturally scared of me,” Cortis explained to Bai Qingqing, then moving its tail and slithered into the village.

So that’s why, Bai Qingqing thought to herself with her head lying lifelessly on Cortis’s shoulder.

The sheep tribe was the best at planting crops among all the beastmen. But they didn’t plant the crops for their own consumption and instead would exchange them with the more powerful carnivorous beastmen for salt, an indispensable item in their everyday life.

So this was a commercial village. Every day, carnivorous beastmen would come here to exchange for food, to use it to please their females.
