The Plant Master Becomes A Mute Sub-Beast: Farming And Laying Eggs

When Kaelen returned, the ruins had been cleared up.

The bad news was that the house needed time to be rebuilt, and they had to sleep in animal skin tents tonight.

As for the cause of the house collapse, Sane was still researching. Aaron said he playfully pressed one of the inlaid stones on the fan ribs at that time, and then the primeval stone he held in his hand automatically filled the empty slot on the fan handle. But the problem was that only Aaron’s fan had many decorative inlaid stones, while things like swords, sabers, spears, or crossbows did not have any.

Then how were they supposed to activate them?

Upon Kaelen’s return, his first action was to hug Edward and sniff him a few times, then feeding his son. This was a treatment that Finnick, Oliver, and Ryder had all received, while it was only the second time for Edward so far. The boy immensely enjoyed his Papa’s care.

While feeding his son and listening to his mate recounting the incident, Kaelen already had a speculation in his heart.

Only after Edward finished eating did Kaelen pick up a bow to examine. The entire bow body was made from ivory combined with some kind of wood; although looking quite bulky, it was extremely light when picked up. He raised the bow grip and tentatively struck the rubble nearby. The rock instantly shattered into four or five pieces. Kaelen was certain that there was no need to draw the bow to shoot, just striking with the bow grip was enough to dent an enemy’s head.

He tried pressing all the protruding structures on the bow body, but the bow had absolutely no reaction. Kaelen then switched to twisting, and nothing happened either. He did not give up, continuing to pull, then pressing and pulling.

"Click!"

A clicking sound rang out, and the bow in his hand instantly transformed. The bow body emitted a pale yellow light, and the bow grip became extremely slender. The hidden bowstring also appeared. Kaelen immediately placed an empty magic core into the concave spot on the bow body, then transmitting his Magical Energy in. The light on the bow body instantly turned into pale green, and vines and flowers also grew out of the rough wooden patterns.

Kaelen exclaimed: "Eh, this looks exactly like the flashy, flamboyant bows of the Elves in magic movies!"

To avoid causing any other trouble, Kaelen borrowed two arrows from a Warrior specializing in bows and ran to the edge of the Illusion Forest to test shoot. With the arrow nocked, Kaelen accurately aimed at a large ancient tree nearby and released his hand.

Whoosh!

The iron-tipped arrow tore through the wind and shot forth, plunging straight into the ancient tree trunk. The tree trunk was instantly pierced through, and the arrow carried its momentum to pierce through two more small trees before thudding into a third tree trunk.

Sane stepped forward to examine and exclaimed: "The thickness of this tree must take three people to hug, yet this arrow could pierce through. Although it did not knock the tree down like Aaron’s wind fan, this piercing power is extremely formidable."

Kaelen nocked the remaining arrow again; this time his target was a large rock outcropping.

Boom!

The rock instantly exploded with a boom, just like fireworks exploding. Finnick and Edward clapped their hands loudly, eager to try. Sane retrieved the two arrows and said to his sons: "The bow is too big for you to hold. Wait until we return, Daddy will make two small ones for you, alright?"

"Yes, sir!"

By the time the family arrived at the gate of the Golden Lion tribe, Edward’s conscious time had also run out, and he took the opportunity to kiss each of his fathers once before falling into a deep sleep. Kaelen’s heart softened, secretly thinking that he needed to quickly recover his health, then go find Oliver and find a way back to the Northern continent. Although he did not know if Phoenix Fire Flowers grew in that extremely hot region, trying a bit was still better.

Just as they returned, a warrior stepped forward to report: "Chief, Priest, the Chief of the Silver Snake tribe requests a meeting."

The two looked at each other, and Sane nodded. Kaelen handed the two little ones to the clan members to help watch over, then went with Sane to meet the Chief of the Silver Snake tribe.

This time, accompanying the Chief of the Silver Snake tribe was his mate. Kaelen could not help but look at that Sub-Beast a bit more, feeling that this person’s appearance was somewhat incongruous with the majority of the Sub-Beasts from the four tribes he had met over the past two days.

That Sub-Beast smiled slightly and nodded in greeting to Kaelen.

The Chief of the Silver Snake tribe introduced himself first:

"My name is Lorenzo, and this is my mate - Jude. We came here today to discuss cooperation in searching for my son and your son."

Sane nodded: "Greetings, Lorenzo and Jude. Let me re-introduce myself, my name is Sane, and this is my mate - Kaelen. We are very glad to have your assistance in searching for our son while you yourselves are also very busy."

Lorenzo waved his hand: "It is killing two birds with one stone. Coming here today, I mainly wanted to tell you about one matter." Saying that, he took out an object from his chest.

It was a small piece of fabric and a tasseled cord attached with a purple quicksand quartz stone. Kaelen lost his composure and lunged forward, snatching these two items, his eye sockets filling with tears. He might not recognize this piece of fabric, but this tasseled cord was the accessory attached to the hairpin he personally made for his youngest son; he could not mistake it.

Sane reached out to embrace Kaelen and emotionally asked Lorenzo:

"These are indeed my son’s belongings. May I ask where you found them?"

Lorenzo sighed: "Deep within the Illusion Forest, the gathering area of the Three-Eyed Demonic Wolves. Today, my clan members tracked my son’s trail and accidentally found this piece of fabric snagged on a thorn bush; not far away was this sparkling object.

This item certainly does not belong to our neighboring tribes, so I guessed it belonged to your son. Sure enough, I did not guess wrong."

Sane took a deep breath and said: "Thank you for bringing this news. Can we follow everyone tomorrow to search for the children together?"

Lorenzo was somewhat hesitant: "You are still injured, I am afraid it is inconvenient..."

Kaelen shook his head: "It is convenient, it is convenient! Our injuries are already healed, and they will be completely healed tomorrow. Please let us follow you!"

Lorenzo looked at his mate, and Jude nodded slightly. Only then did Lorenzo say: "Alright then, tomorrow we will wait for you at the ancient oak tree at the entrance of the Illusion Forest."

He took out a silver scale, only slightly larger than a fish scale, from his animal skin bag again: "When searching for people, it is unavoidable to split into teams to search. This is my son’s scale. He caused some foolish trouble, provoked a High-stage Martial Master, and was beaten by them, severely damaging his martial power and temporarily regressing to a cub form. If you encounter him, please also help us bring him back."

Jude’s eyes were red, and he grasped Kaelen’s arm: "After giving birth to Siley, my body was severely damaged, and I can no longer bear children. This is my only child in this life, please help us."

Kaelen patted the back of Jude’s hand. Being a Sub-Beast who had lost a child as well, he also sympathized with Jude. Kaelen closed his eyes, transmitted a bit of Magical Energy into Jude’s body to check briefly, then opened his eyes and said: "Body damage leads to martial power decline, but it is not untreatable. Come over here tomorrow, and I will have our tribe’s healer help treat you. Although I cannot guarantee you can advance to a high level in the future, practicing martial arts from the beginning is definitely possible."

"Is that true?!" Lorenzo and Jude looked at each other with full joy. Lorenzo stood up, clasped his hands, and bowed: "If you can cure my mate’s hidden illness, I will offer all the resources and wealth of the tribe to repay you!"

Sane waved his hand: "No need, you helped us search for our son, this is called giving and taking."

Lorenzo was stunned: "It cannot be calculated like that. Have you not already taught us pottery making?"

Kaelen smiled: "I am willing to treat your mate because I want to make friends, not to exchange for resources. You refusing, could it be that you do not want to be friends with us?"

"Of course not!" Lorenzo and Jude hurriedly waved their hands.

"Then it is settled." Sane nodded, ending this pushing back and forth.

The two couples chatted for a while longer. Seeing the two beastmen start talking about martial arts training and tribe management along with some military tactics, Kaelen pulled Jude to the clan members’ place to pick up Finnick and Ryder. Finnick was not asleep yet, using his human form to play building blocks with Chloe. As soon as the boy saw Papa coming to pick him up, he waddled over and threw himself onto Papa to act spoiled.

Kaelen rubbed his son’s head and pointed towards Jude: "This is Uncle Jude, greet Uncle."

Finnick obediently shouted loudly with a soft voice: "Hello, Uncle Jude~"

"What a good baby!" Jude rummaged in his bag for a handful of thumb-sized fruits and stuffed them into the boy’s hand: "These are Red fruits growing along the edge of our tribe’s forest; the smell is a bit pungent but they taste very sweet. Eat them."

Kaelen stared intently at the fruits in Finnick’s hand, unable to resist picking one up to examine. Jude thought he liked them and hurriedly said: "Do you like this fruit? We have a lot in our tribe, there are even ones as big as a fist. If you like them, I will pick a few baskets and bring them over tomorrow."

Kaelen smiled: "This is something I have been searching for a long time but could not find. If you have a lot, please pick them all and exchange them with us. I will use primeval stones to exchange. Let’s make it three primeval stones per kilogram, alright?"

Anyway, currently in their bags, they had quite a few primeval stones exchanged from the Golden Lion tribe members. There were also six thousand primeval stones that a Warrior in the tribe currently had, which they could temporarily borrow first.

Jude was stunned: "How much is one kilogram to need so many primeval stones? Besides, this thing grows all over the forest, you can go pick them yourselves, why spend money to buy them?"

"Picking them ourselves is picking them ourselves; asking you to pick them requires paying. Do not hasten to refuse; if you knew the uses of this thing, you might be reluctant to sell them to me."

Kaelen removed the fruit stem, used his fingernail to split the red fruit in half, and stuffed it into his mouth. The cool, sweet-sour taste instantly filled his mouth cavity, and Kaelen narrowed his eyes to savor it. Up to this moment, he was even more certain about this small red fruit.

Only after finishing eating did he explain to Jude:

"This thing you brought is called Tomato. This thing is not only eaten as a snack but can be cooked with other foods to create an extremely special flavor. Moreover, the greatest uses of tomatoes are protecting the cardiovascular system, enhancing vision, being good for digestion, and beautifying the skin."

He lightly touched Jude’s cheek to feel its elasticity, then smiled and said: "Earlier I was still wondering what you used for skin care, now I consider it clear. You eat this fruit frequently, right?"

Jude raised his hand to press his cheek, his face slightly flushed: "Since giving birth, my health has been very weak, and my mate frequently picks some non-poisonous fruits for me. Because I particularly like the Red fruit... ah, this tomato, Lorenzo frequently picks it and brings it back.

Not many people in the tribe like this fruit either; I did not expect this thing to have such good effects. You are right, I suddenly do not want to sell it to you anymore~"

Kaelen smiled and said: "I told you so. But do not worry, tomato plants are extremely easy to keep alive; you just need to section off a garden patch in your front yard and plant them to eat to your heart’s content. Regarding cultivation techniques, my clan members will teach the White Lion tribe tomorrow; if you want, you can also go there to learn."

Jude’s eyes lit up, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.
