Chapter 87: On Time

ably hadn't realized they'd been bitten by snakes yet, which is why they fainted on their horses.These horses were owned and would stop when no one was guiding them. They returned along the original p...When ripples opened her eyes again, the first thing she smelled was a stench of blood. All she saw were gaping maws, ready to swallow her whole.

The original figure stood there, dumbfounded and trembling, bracing for death's arrival.

The ripples coursed through her body at lightning speed. She thrust her hands up to support the gaping maw, then inhaled deeply and with all her might, ripped the lower jaw clean off. Blood splattered her crimson red.

Then came the sounds of animal cries. A jet-black panther, two meters long, was rolling on the ground, sending mud and grass flying everywhere. For a full fifteen minutes, the black panther struggled until it finally lost its life. The surrounding area was left in utter disarray.

Ripples only then sat down on the ground, looked at her own situation, her face was so black that ink could drip from it. She felt like she had been tricked by the millstone again.

Although Ripple seems to have completed two tasks, one is an intermediate task and the other, although a primary task, has hidden objectives, bringing the total to five completed tasks. This keeps us steadily progressing towards our goal of sixty tasks.

When choosing this mission, Shiju let herself pick. She felt that the last mission in a modern world had been too taxing on her brain, so she wanted to choose one that prioritized martial prowess. She has a natural strength boost, plus her cultivation and natal sword, making it easier for her to complete missions.

Shiju readily agreed and sent Lianyi directly to the Beast World Continent. As soon as she arrived, she was faced with a life-or-death situation. Fortunately, Lianyi reacted quickly and, with the blessing of divine power, managed to avert certain death.

The ripples are now covered in bloodstains. The original body is also dressed more lightly, wearing a linen bandeau and a leather skirt. The leather boots on her feet are new, and all the other exposed areas are crisscrossed with scratches and cuts, with torn flesh that's gruesome to behold.

It was clearly evident that the original owner was being chased by this black panther before the arrival of the ripples ancestor. He was about to become the other's meal when Ripples stopped it in time.

"Nineteen (Stone Mill), how did you find me such a weak body"

The ripples are very dissatisfied.

"Because the overwhelming resentment received here comes from this body itself." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The millstone immediately explained.

"Wait until I deal with this black panther and accept the memories of my original form, then you can tell me the specific mission."

Liàn Yī observed his surroundings but couldn't find a suitable cutting tool. He could only directly carry the Black Panther onto his shoulders and, following the tracks of its previous escape, began to walk back.

Along the way, Lian'er harvested a handy bone knife and a small bundle of sinew tied to a branch. It was impossible to tell the color, probably used as a rope to restrain this black panther. Unfortunately, it wasn't successful. The animal sinew rope broke directly, and the rest was collected by Lian'er.

Half an hour later, she followed the trail to a place where someone had temporarily stayed, but unfortunately, it had been destroyed, clearly attacked by animals, and not just one kind.

Ripples furrowed her brow, rummaging through their temporary encampment. She found a stone pot, a blackened clay jar, and a torn piece of animal hide.

At the roots of a towering tree, she discovered a protruding yellow object. Digging it up, she found it was a beast-skin wrapped bundle, apparently hastily buried because she had to leave in a hurry and couldn't take it with her. She planned to return for it when she had the opportunity.

Since she had been seen by Ripples, it belonged to her. She wrapped the massive pelt on her shoulders and dragged the black panther behind her, intentionally leaving a trail of blood at their temporary camp to mask her scent.

Liàn Yī chose a direction and walked for a long time. When she was exhausted, she entered a vast forest of giant trees and found an empty hollow tree. After driving out the native black bear inside with her fists and bone knife, she stuffed the bear skin wrapped with her loot into it. Before she could catch her breath, she closed her eyes and began to receive the memories of her original body.

This time, Ripples received a level two mission. The mission world was the Beast World Continent, a primeval forest teeming with danger. To survive here, one must have a strong physique.

In the Beastly Continent, only beastmen can survive, and beastmen are divided into three types: male beastmen, female beastmen, and neutered beastmen.

Male orcs have the ability to shapeshift, switching between human and beast forms. They possess absolute strength.

Female orcs cannot shapeshift, but they are responsible for the reproduction of the orc race and are few in number. They are considered the most precious beings in the orc tribe. Almost before they reach puberty, they will have at least three followers to protect them well.

After spending time with several male orcs, a female orc can choose the most suitable male orc as her partner. Once a partner is chosen, it truly is for life. Orcs are mutually loyal to each other.

Neutral beastmen are a special kind of being. When they are born, they have a unique beastmark on their body that indicates that when they become adults, they can choose to be either a male beastman or a female beastman.

Although most neutral orcs choose to become female orcs out of necessity for the tribe, some neutral orcs choose to become male orcs after reaching adulthood.

The original owner, Lianyi, was a neutral beastman. Her childhood sweetheart, the male beastman Sang, wanted to be with her for a long time, so he let her choose to become a female beastman after adulthood and guaranteed that he would mate with her. The original owner liked Sang anyway, and this choice also went along with the tribe's needs.

So after she came of age, under the guidance of the tribe shaman, she had the neutral beastmark erased, officially becoming a female orc. She excitedly awaited her bond with Sang.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans. Right before Sang and Ripples prepared for their mating ceremony, Sang rescued a lone female beastman who had gotten lost in the forest while hunting.

The other party was being chased by a python and, in a panic, ran into the territory of the lion-man tribe. It was then rescued by Sang who was out hunting.

The female orc fainted directly into Sang's arms and was finally sent back to her tribe by Sang. When the witch treated her, the female orc had once stopped breathing. With the witch's prayers, she regained her breath.

In the Beast World Continent, there's an unspoken rule: when a female is in danger, male beastmen must come to her rescue. And the beastman who saves her has the priority right to pursue her, unless he gives it up. Otherwise, other beastmen can only watch and cannot pursue her.

Although Sang had a good impression of the female he saved, he was very clear about Lianyi's contribution to him, and as a beastman, he also had to fulfill his promise. Therefore, he could only withdraw from the pursuers' team.

Unfortunately, the rescued female orc Yan Jia was set on Sang and wouldn't accept any other orcs' advances.alk then! I think she's been very proactive in her preparations and subjectively still wants to help us. It's just that for someone like her who is a homebody, physical fitness is her weakness. At lea...
