The next day, the beastmen began their preparation to depart.
Lin Mu stuffed some fruit and a bottle filled with water into his backpack. He raised it and felt that the weight is okay and not very heavy. Then, he looked at his slightly muscular arm; he exercised quite a bit after he arrived in this beastman world.
Patrik bundled his stuff and Lin Muâs luggage together, the pile was not small. Lin Mu has saved a lot of things recently.
Seeing the considerable amount of stuff that Patrik has packed, Lin Mu said, âIt seems a bit too much.â
He frowned and reluctantly wondered what he could take down. These were food that he had recently collected in the forest, and he does want to keep them.
Looking at Lin Muâs frown, Patrik naturally knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, âThese are nothing to me.â
Thinking about the size of Patrikâs beast form after he transformed, and then looking at these things in front of him, Lin Mu felt that it is really nothing to Patrik.
Having nothing else to say, Lin Mu doesnât dare to look at Patrik when he saw Patrik smiling softly at him. He sighed in his heart that the atmosphere just now was clearly harmonious, how did it become ambiguous all of a sudden?
âUh, I am going to get Qiuqiu.â
Lin Mu ran away after he said that. In his heart, he scolded for being spineless. Ainât it just being chased by a man? But he still felt like running away; looking down at himself right now!
Patrik looked at Lin Mu running away with a blushing face, but he was not angry. It always has been difficult in Beastmanâs path to pursue a female. And a femaleâs restraint is scary to the beastmen.
âŚâŚ
Lin Mu looked at Qiuqiu laying next to Casso. It actually refused to go with him, such a thing with no conscience.
âŚâŚ
Please read in thisisbananatl dot com yo~~ (0w0)/\nWhen they were about to depart, Patrik found Lin Mu looking very dissatisfied. He then shifted his eyes at Qiuqiu, which was still laying on top of Casso, and immediately understood. Qiuqiu has always been very close to Casso.
Because Matt was not there, Casso and Qiuqiu walked together with Misha, who sat on the back of Damonâs beast form and said in a sour tone, âLin Mu, Qiuqiu likes to follow Casso. Just let it be thenâ. Why wonât Qiuqiu get close to him(M)? Misha has completely forgotten how he teased and pranked Qiuqiu.
Lin Mu supported his chin while lying on Patrikâs back. Without Qiuqiu for him to rub, Lin Mu felt bored. That hateful Casso, it actually snatched away his Qiuqiu. But then, when he thought of how Casso is often bullied by Qiuqiu, Lin Mu couldnât help but think âCould it be Qiuqiu likes to be with Casso because Casso is the only one who can be bullied by Qiuqiu?â
âPatrik, donât you think Qiuqiu is very smart?â
Patrik thought of Qiuqiuâs usual behaviour. âIt is very smart.â
Lin Mu suddenly had a light bulb moment. âDo you think Qiuqiu is also a beastman?â
Patrik thought for a moment. He never sees Qiuqiu as a beastman because Qiuqiuâs animal type had no fighting power, and it is difficult for one to survive in a powerless beast form.
âI never see Qiuqiu as⌠um⌠beastman. However, I have never heard of any beastman whose form looked similar like Qiuqiuâs either.â
Indeed, Qiuqiuâs spherical body really has not much threatening and domineering aura, so thatâs why Qiuqiu is his pet.
When evening comes, not waiting for the beastmen to descending signal, Lin Mu rushed Patrik to immediately go down.
âI couldnât hold it anymore, hurry up.â
Patrik did as requested, and Lin Mu hurriedly climbed down from him before running to an obscure area in the woods.
âDonât come over.â Lin Mu turned back and warned Patrik behind him.
Patrik stopped walking. âI will wait for you here.â Ever since that accident, Patrik has never let Lin Mu go out alone.
After solving his basic needs1, Lin Mu sighed comfortably. Holding it in really make one anxious. When he is about to leave the spot, Lin Mu suddenly heard a very low groan from the bushes in front of him. He can detect pain from that voice. Lin Mu picked up a branch and decided to check it out. He had such great courage probably because he knew Patrik was nearby. Looking at a tree that is blocking Patrikâs figure, Lin Mu felt that he has to man up. That unexpected night created a huge obstacle in his heart, which caused him to be afraid to be alone and make his lost his courage. Although he knew that Patrik would always be there to protect him, but Lin Mu is a man himself, and he didnât want to be so weak.
He boosted himself in his heart and carefully brushed apart the bushes. Then Lin Mu saw a pair of eyes that have become round by fear. Lin Mu was surprised to see what he saw: a thin âfemaleâ2, who looked at Lin Mu in vigilance. He was holding onto a tall beastman who was lying on the floor. That beastmanâs pale face and terrible wounds on his chest let Lin Mu know that his current situation is very bad now.\nâWhat happened to him?â Lin Mu whispered, fearing that he would scare the nervous female.
Unexpectedly, because of his words, the thin female looked at the person in his arms with a sorrowful expression. He then shot a pleading look at Lin Mu, âI beg you, donât let other people kill him? He is a good person, he became like this because of me, because of me.â He silently cried.
Lin Mu couldnât handle it when other people cry, and he was very surprised towards why this person would request him that so he asked, âWhy would I want to ask other people to kill him?â
Looking at that pair of wet eyes, he added, âNo matter what, I wonât get other people to come and harm him.â He couldnât help but questioned in his heart if this person saw him together with Patrik, so he was afraid that their drifter beastmen will kill his lover?
Phil was relieved when he heard that female standing in front of him promised. âThank you.â He looked at Lloyd, who was already in a coma. âHe is a good person, really, really good person.â
His voice was very light, but Lin Mu heard it very clearly.
âWhy are you keep stressing that he is a good person?â Could it beâŚ.
âBecause the person in his arms in a drifter beastman.â
Patrikâs sudden appearance frightened Phil. He pleaded Patrik. âI beg you, please donât hurt him?â
Then he said to Lin Mu. âYou promised me, you wonât let other people kill him.â
He thought that the beastman appeared with Lin Mu is from a tribe. Phil is very clear of how the beastmen from a tribe hated drifter beastmen, but Phil knew even more how much a female weighed in a beastmanâs heart. Not to mention how beautiful this female in front of him looked, so he turned to beg Li Mu.
âDonât let him hurt Lloyd, please? Iâm begging you.â
Lloyd seemed to sense the dangerous atmosphere, and was trying to wake up but unable to do so.
Lin Mu looked at the sad and scared person in front of him and quickly comforted him, âDonât worry, Patrik wonât hurt Lloyd.â As he said, he signalled to Patrik with his eyes so that Patrik will give his confirmation.
Patrik looked at the weak beastman on the ground. A drifter beastman who can make a female desperately tried to defend him, this beastman called Lloyd is not an easy person. Patrik looked at Lin Mu, who was desperately trying to signal him with his eyes and wondered if this was him, will Lin Mu desperately defend him like this female did? But then he felt that this assumption is really terrible because he will never let Lin Mu be in this unsafe state.
Phil nervously looked at the beastman who didnât say anything and held tightly against Lloydâs arm.
\nâPhil, I think the herbs you put on Lloyd is used to stop bleeding. We need to gather more of this.â
Then he said to Patrik, âBoil some hot water after you placed Lloyd down in an open space.â
Patrik didnât intend to let two females go out by themselves to collect the herbs. He sent a signal to the sky and soon, a beastman arrived.
âColey, take care of this beastman and boil some water as well.â
The three of them quickly picked enough herbs, and they also took some herbs to reduce swelling and pain. Lin Mu asked Coley to grind the herbs. After that, he handed his knife to Patrik and ordered, âCut off the rotten part and apply the herbs. Then wrap his wound with animal skin.â
Although Lin Mu has decided to help Lloyd, he doesnât have enough courage to put a knife down on other people. After giving the instructions, Lin Mu pulled the worried Phil to the side of a pot. The hot water boiled in the big pot is used to handle Lloydâs wounds, and some salt was added in the water. That caused Lin Muâs heart to hurt, but thinking that the salt was someoneâs belongings, he endured.
In the small pot, it was only half-filled as per Lin Muâs instructions. He put in a lot of sweet fruit into the pot. Pulling at Phil, who couldnât help checking the other side, Lin Mu said, âThere is nothing to look at, donât look.â
After that, he gave Phil a sweet fruit to eat. âYou probably didnât eat much?â
Phil bit onto the fruit. Since Lloyd was injured, he didnât eat much in the past few days.
âOh, now that we have salt, you are lucky for lunch today.â Lin Mu decided to make a good meal, and he even gave himself a good reason, that is Phil and Lloyd needs some nutrient to replenish their body.
Patrik quickly handled Lloydâs wounds, and the syrup Lin Mu cooked is also done. He gave Lloyd a big bowl after added some salt to the soup, and gave Phil a bowl as well.
Phil carefully fed Lloyd with a spoon and watched him take a sip of hot soup, he couldnât help but shed tears.
âLin Mu, thank you.â
Lin Mu smiled in embarrassment. âItâs nothing.â
Lin Mu didnât dare to make a big meal because the salt was not much, but he was satisfied because he finally gets to eat the meal he dreamed of for so long. Phil is also convinced by Lin Mu because he can make such a delicious thing, and also create pots, bowls and convenient things like spoon. That makes Phil deeply admired Lin Mu.
Lloyd was fed with some chicken soup. After the meal, Lin Mu gave him some quick-acting medicine (from his world). Calculating the time needed for the drug to show effect, Lin Mu thinks Lloyd should get better soon.
