Chapter 349 Another Dry Well
......
Here.
Mu Yunyun felt completely bewildered.
In front of me is a plate of pear buds.
Pear buds are small mountain fruits that nourish spiritual energy. They grow on cliffs and are extremely difficult to pick. They are also expensive, costing one pearl for each small bud. They are reserved for the enjoyment of large clans.
Mu Yunyun had tried it; it was sweet and sour, but she never liked snacks and always gave them to the cubs.
"Why did Taihao send this over?"
A return gift, of course!
Hu Qing inwardly grumbled.
This is Taihao's expression of his complete approval of the sworn brotherhood!
But he would never dare to say these things, even if his life depended on it.
He swallowed hard and knelt down immediately: "My fox clan is of lowly status. I do not wish to share the burdens of the clan leader. I only ask that the clan leader not find me unworthy and offer some guidance."
Mu Yunyun: "???"
She looked at the small pear, then at Hu Qing, and suddenly realized.
So you're trying to pull strings, huh?
They are descended from the Taihao clan and the fox clan.
Of course, we need to make plans for these fox cubs and their offspring.
Mu Yunyun almost laughed.
She knew about the fox clan.
After their clan was wiped out, they were sold into slavery by the Dijiang clan. They were all only sixteen or seventeen years old, still very young. Did she expect them to provide for her?
The same applies to the other five races.
When she first established the clan, she didn't expect them to do anything, since they were all people with unfortunate lives.
Unexpectedly, the fox clan came to her of their own accord.
How could she possibly refuse?
Her gaze held both admiration and satisfaction, and she quickly instructed the young slave to help him up.
"How could I look down on you? I used to think you were too young and didn't want to ask you to do too many things. But now that you've asked, I do have a task for you."
Is this... done?
Hu Qing's hands were trembling.
Can't laugh!
The clan leader can't see you looking so pathetic.
Be more composed!
He pinched his thigh hard, the pain bringing tears to his eyes.
"Please give your instructions, Great Clan Chief. My Fox Clan will certainly bow in gratitude."
"For this autumn hunt, I'd like you to hunt some pheasants, rabbits, tusked boars, and the like, and try raising them in captivity."
Hu Qing suddenly looked up and tentatively asked, "Is the clan leader talking about animal husbandry?"
"Yes."
It's animal husbandry!
Hu Qing's heart pounded wildly.
The term "animal husbandry" was a major matter that the clan chief and Ying Hua had discussed, and it was the same as "farming."
He never expected that the clan leader would entrust such an important matter to their little fox clan. In the past, he would never have wanted to do this.
calm down!
Hu Qing's legs were almost bruised from being pinched.
"May I ask, Chief Clan Leader, are these captive beasts considered tamed beasts?"
The patriarch always uses new and interesting terms; he has to ask him about them carefully.
"There are still differences."
Mu Yunyun carefully explained her thoughts.
"Tameing beasts is out of the question. Wild beasts are hard to tame. But if they are raised in captivity from a young age and reproduced generation after generation, that would be about right."
Can you do this?
Hu Qing was filled with admiration.
"That is indeed a good idea."
He knelt down and kowtowed again.
"Thank you for your guidance, Clan Chief. Our Fox Clan will certainly not let you down."
"Get up quickly. You are a disciple of the same family. Don't kneel down so easily."
"Yes, Chieftain."
Hu Qing felt like crying. The clan leader was such a good person, yet he had betrayed him. If the clan leader found out, he would probably kill him.
However, for the sake of the little fox clan, it would be worth dying for.
Mu Yunyun was unaware of his ulterior motives.
After everyone left, she couldn't wait to enter the space.
Yuanzhou's autumn hunt is famous throughout the nine provinces.
That's Yuanzhou, a region with vast mountain ranges, and compared to plains, deserts, and grasslands, it's extremely rich in resources.
Of course, the mountain beasts are also powerful.
This is why there are not many Yuanzhou clans, and naturally they cannot prosper.
This annual autumn hunt is an opportunity for the clans of the Nine Provinces to go into the mountains together, so that they can look out for each other.
She wanted to explore the mountains for three reasons: first, to raise livestock; second, to find cotton seeds on the map; and third, she needed to take this opportunity to advance to the seventh rank to complete the main quest.
She opened the panel; since she was going to upgrade, she needed to get more items to save her life.
Currently, she has 42400 points, and all the items that can save her life must be obtained through a lottery.
Mu Yunyun steeled herself and redeemed a golden lottery ticket.
[System prompt: Do you wish to consume one 'Golden Lottery Ticket' to start the lottery?]
[yes]
The glittering golden lottery wheel began to spin wildly.
Mu Yunyun closed her eyes, hoping for some useful cultivation technique to make killing the high-patterned beasts easier.
[System notification: Congratulations, host, you have obtained a 'grass nest'. Do you wish to begin incubating the eggs immediately?]
Mu Yunyun opened her eyes.
A shiny grass nest appeared before my eyes, and the mythical beast egg, a prize from a lucky draw, suddenly fell from my backpack onto the grass nest.
Mu Yunyun: "!!!"
what's the situation!
She clicked on the 'Grass Nest' introduction.
[Grass Nest: A golden grass nest can speed up egg incubation.]
Mu Yunyun's eyes lit up.
nice one!
Very good!
Previously, I couldn't hatch eggs because my level was too low, but now I actually have a grass nest!
If she had a tenth-tier divine beast with SSS combat power, her level up this time would be a piece of cake!
Without thinking, Mu Yunyun clicked "Yes".
[System Warning: The host does not meet the prerequisites and cannot start incubation at this time.]
Mu Yunyun: "!!!"
I'll go to hell...
Mu Yunyun kicked the grass nest away.
Her 10,000 points!
Ten thousand points!
just this!
At first, they said the roulette wheel level wasn't high enough.
Later, they said her rank wasn't high enough!
Finally, what kind of ridiculous precondition is this!
Mu Yunyun hasn't sworn in a long time, except for the time she absorbed spiritual energy from the spiritual bones in the back mountain.
But this time, she really couldn't take it anymore!
The system warning tone kept repeating itself.
The entire panel was covered in dark red exclamation marks.
Mu Yunyun frowned; she had received her second warning.
The first time was with Ye Yu, because she said that the partner's rank was too low, which reduced the chance of conception.
This warning is much clearer.
What is going on?
Mu Yunyun didn't understand, and didn't want to understand.
She took a deep breath and decided to accept her fate.
Close the panel.
We decided to find the nest and the eggs first.
only......
Where are her eggs?
Mu Yunyun looked around.
No, no, none at all!
Mu Yunyun turned the tiger seedling haystack up completely, but still couldn't find where the egg had flown to.
Inside the dry well.
In the nest of grass, an egg lay quietly.
A corner of the eggshell was broken.
Through this crack, it was empty; there was nothing inside.
Sudden.
There was a flash of golden light.
The eggshell quickly repaired itself and was as good as new.
......
Taihao was very absent-minded for several days in a row.
Hu Qingming clearly said that the clan leader accepted the little pear fruit, so why is there no news about it?
At the very least, they should come and take a look.
Although Lord Tailin is in a deep sleep and cannot be seen, there is nothing to observe.
But even adult beastly acts are beautiful.
That fluffy tail was much smoother than their fur.
It feels so good to touch.
However, Taiheng couldn't bring himself to suggest that the clan leader touch Lord Tailin's hair.
He plans to ask them properly during this autumn hunt.
"How are the preparations going?"
He left the courtyard, and the young disciples waited obediently. In fact, there was nothing to prepare. The autumn hunt was nothing to worry about for them, who had reached the peak of the Great Realm.
Its main purpose is to protect the young.
"I heard from the little slaves that the clan chief's ceremonial procession is ready and they are just waiting for you, brother."
Taiheng nodded: "Let's go."
......
This autumn hunt was quite a lively affair.
Even the smaller clans that weren't originally qualified to attend the banquet came.
However, they were not trying to curry favor with the Yin family.
Compared to the sycophantic behavior of the large clans, Mu Yunyun, who provided them with food, was more respected by them.
They felt it was worth it just to catch a glimpse of the clan leader.
Except these people.
Outside the autumn hunting grounds, there are countless small vendors.
On what was once a wasteland, vendors of all sizes lined up in rows.
It formed a ten-mile-long street, which was very lively.
"I haven't been here for several years, and I didn't expect Yuanzhou to be so lively."
The young females from Kyushu marveled at this.
The banquet, in particular, really broadened their horizons.
I never imagined that those mountain beasts could be made into such delicious dishes, and even the wild vegetables from the mountains have a unique flavor.
In fact, they had heard about it before, but they didn't take it seriously. However, after attending the banquet hosted by the Emperor Jiang Clan, they were filled with cravings.
In the past few days, whenever a clan held a banquet, they would attend, just wanting to taste the delicious food again.
"I heard that this pottery and forging also originated from Yuanzhou. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true. The pottery came from the Tiger Clan, the forging came from the Eagle Clan, and both belong to the Mu Clan."
hiss--
Is it the Mu family again?
These banquets also originated from the Mu clan's Night Bird tribe.
I didn't expect that even pottery and forging were included?
"That's not all. Have you heard? The Mu clan's patriarch was favored by the Beast God and had many offspring."
"They're triplets, I've heard about them before."
Triplets are not unheard of in the Kyushu clan.
If it weren't for this pregnancy, how could the Mu clan have formed a pact with the Dijiang clan?
Upon hearing this, someone rolled their eyes.
"What triplets? You don't know, Yunji has given birth to countless babies. If you don't believe me, go ask her. Just this time she brought out seventeen."
"You've been kicked in the head by a donkey, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Exactly, do you think she's the reincarnation of the Beast God? Those cubs are all cubs of the same family."
Everyone thought about it and agreed.
How could they all be the eldest sons of powerful clans?
They wouldn't believe it even if I told them.
"If the Dijiang clan wants to elevate the status of the Mu clan, they should at least say something convincing. This lie is too absurd."
Here.
Yin Lian wanted to laugh when she heard these words.
In the clan, who doesn't have offspring? Even she, from the Yin clan, has a full thirty offspring.
She didn't believe those lies at all.
Yingyu draped a haori (a type of traditional Chinese garment) over her from behind.
"Princess, hurry up and go, the Mu clan is about to enter the mountains."
Yin Lian remembered her purpose and didn't want to delay.
However, those clans that wanted to curry favor were like flies, impossible to shake off.
She mounted the mountain beast and said, "You guys quickly shake off those people, I'll go first."
Yingyu panicked: "My lady, the Yuanzhou Mountains are fraught with danger, you..."
Her response was a series of tiger roars and a cloud of dust.
As Yin Lian ran further and further away, Yingzi's eyes darkened.
She was truly fed up with being bossed around and treated so contemptuously.
"Lady Shenji, why do you look so pale?" The little slave serving her was a little worried.
Yingyu snapped out of her daze: "It's alright, I'm just worried about Nüji. Go and have someone lure those clans away, I'll follow Nüji, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
As soon as she finished speaking, the maids couldn't help but chime in.
"Why should we go instead of you going?"
"Oh dear, if they want to curry favor with the concubine, let them do so."
"She's shameless. I just can't stand her. She used to ignore us, but now she's like a dog that we can't shake off."
"Alright, everyone, say less."
The young maidservant of the Yin family chattered away.
The sarcasm in her tone made Yingzhen clench her fists tightly.
If it weren't for going to the sacred mountain.
How could she put up with such humiliation?
She took a deep breath.
"Since you ladies don't want to go, then I'll go instead. I have the Lady's Tracking Butterfly on me, and I'll catch up with you later."
The maids snorted.
"That's pretty much it."
......
Shao Yan was curious about everything in the mountains.
This place is much bigger than the back mountain.
There are not only many small mountain fruits, but also many small mountain beasts.
Following Taiheng's instructions, he successfully captured a nest of baby rabbits.
"Master, how was it? Wasn't I amazing!"
This was the first time he had used his spiritual energy to catch a rabbit.
The little guy was filled with pride.
Taiheng patted his head: "Well done, your use of spiritual energy is becoming more and more skillful."
Being praised.
The little guy looked proud and immediately became incredibly enthusiastic.
"Then I'll go catch another nest."
"Wait for me, I'll go too."
Qizhuan followed closely behind, running very fast on his calves.
He also wanted to be praised by his master.
aside.
Qi Si was squatting in a clump of grass, also very busy.
She awakened the wood-elemental spiritual vein.
The mountains and fields are covered with glowing herbs. The old mountain doctor said that the light is the spiritual energy nurtured by heaven and earth, and the brighter the light, the higher the grade of the herb.
She wants to pick them all and take them home; her father will be very happy.
The young disciples of the Taihao Clan stared at the cubs, unable to suppress their laughter.
If their Taihao clan also had offspring, their talents would surely be outstanding.
Of course, they're bound to be naughty too, but they'll teach them well.
Thinking of this, they looked around.
With them there, none of the cubs' several foster fathers went into the mountains.
Lord Yingze originally insisted on coming over, but he couldn't bear to leave the cubs behind, so he had to stay.
This time, only the fox clan entered the mountain, but once inside, they seemed to be busy with something.
"Where is my great-grandmother?"
Taiheng also glanced at it.
"It seems we just went into the mountains."
Going into the mountains?
The younger disciples were getting a little anxious.
"Grandma went into the mountains alone? What are the people serving her doing?"
"What's all the noise about? Great-Grandma has the aura of our ancestors. Ordinary mountain beasts can't harm her. We just need to keep an eye on the cubs."
That's not what he meant.
The young disciples looked around.
"Brother, why didn't you ask? Great-Grandma clearly..."
They have to make a statement, this is such a good opportunity.
Within the clan, out of proper etiquette, they would not be allowed to approach their great-grandmother.
How could Taiheng not be anxious? He originally wanted to take this opportunity to let his great-grandmother know his Taihao clan's attitude, but once he entered the mountain, he was busy with the little ones and had no time for it.
By the time they came to their senses, the person was already gone.
"Master, Master, something terrible has happened!"
Suddenly, Qi Zhuan came running over, panting, his little face pale with fright.
Taiheng's heart skipped a beat.
"What's wrong?" He squatted down, a little anxious. "Are you hurt? Or did you fall?"
Qi Zhuan shook his head.
"That wicked female is coming."
