Chapter 591 The Fallen Female Beast King (5)

This time, Liang Xu did not refuse what Jin Shu offered.

Because he was really starving. Males naturally consume more energy than females. Even Jin Shu needs to eat more than ten kilograms of meat a day to be full, let alone him.

Moreover, Jin Shu was right.

What will happen to Jin Shu and Zai Zai if he falls?

"Thanks."

Jin Shu didn't even look up, continuing to work on her tasks.

It was only then that Liang Xu noticed what she was doing, something he couldn't understand.

What are you doing?

Jin Shu lowered her head and cleaned the hole she had dug in advance, thus creating a cave within a cave. Then she neatly hung all the meat strips she had cut overnight inside, and then lit charcoal fires under the meat strips.

She found the charcoal underground in the back mountain of the cat tribe.

Currently, the cat tribe has only occupied a small section of broken wall on the entire mountain, leaving enough space for Jin Shu to explore tirelessly for a long time.

In the last world, she spent a lot of time challenging herself to survive in the primeval forest, so she is very familiar with survival skills in the forest.

With the aid of theories and practices from so many previous worlds, Jin Shu was able to fully and thoroughly explore this unfamiliar yet rich ancient forest within the frozen timeframe.

Good result; these charcoal pieces are Jin Shu's spoils from last night.

Liang Xu also noticed the dark charcoal she had piled up underneath, his eyes filled with surprise.

Where did you find these charcoal embers?

"The back mountain."

Jin Shu didn't need to hide too much from this male.

After all, in today's Beast World, what is even more steadfast and stable than the parent-child relationship is the male's protective instinct towards the female.

Once you've made up your mind, you're basically willing to go through thick and thin for it.

It's like something etched into our genes, passed down from generation to generation, never changing.

Liang Xu also came over to watch Jin Shu's actions. He was a little reserved. Although the two already had a child, they only knew each other a little better than strangers.

"Charcoal is a good thing; it can be used to trade for salt, sugar, animal hides, and females."

Because the Beast World continent is half hot and half cold.

The heat can be addressed.

But if it's cold, there's really nothing you can do about it.

Therefore, before the arrival of the coldest season each year, charcoal is one of the most precious resources on this beast world continent.

Even though the cat tribe is one of the more resilient beast tribes to the cold, newborn cubs need warmth, and injured members of the tribe and elderly people with sparse fur need charcoal for warmth.

Every year before the heavy snow closes the mountain, the cat clan chief goes to the Stone River Market to barter, exchanging the cat clan's unique fur for a pitiful little bit of charcoal.

When Jin Shu was found to have superior fertility, a lot of charcoal was piled up in the cave.

But ever since Jin Ying became a hot commodity in the tribe, most of the charcoal in the tribe has been sent to her cave.

Of course, Jin Shu did give birth to a precious cub for the tribe, so the charcoal supply wasn't completely cut off, but the quantity was indeed greatly reduced compared to before.

The amount sent over is only enough to keep the baby alive through the winter.

For this reason, Liang Xu even went to the clan chief to beg for more charcoal.

But the clan chief told him with difficulty that the clan was in dire need of charcoal, and that no one else had any. Jin Shu was already lucky to get a few pieces every day.

Then, feeling dejected and starving, Liang Xu returned to the cave in utter dejection.

When they returned, they found meat hanging all over the cave and charcoal piled up in the cave.

Even now, with the things clearly laid out in front of him, Liang Xu still has the illusion that he is dreaming.

Jin Shu could understand his emotions at the moment, and after giving him some time to process them, she urged him on.

"Don't just stand there, lend a hand."

Liang Xu rushed forward, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

The operation is not complicated; Jin Shu explained it to him once and he learned it.

"From now on, you should go hunting when you need to. When you come back, come in and keep an eye on things. Make sure to turn over the dried meat spread on the ground frequently and control the charcoal fire so it doesn't burn too brightly, understand?"

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry about it, leave it to me. You go outside and rest, I'll take care of the rest."

In the extreme cold, everyone was shivering and huddled together for warmth, but Liang Xu was sweating profusely inside the cave.

Finally, he even took off the animal skin he was wearing on his upper body, revealing a rather strong and muscular upper body.

The original owner was initially attracted by his face and physique.

But Jin Shu had seen too many of these things, so in her eyes, the two kittens in the nest were not as pretty.

Although Jin Shu still can't treat them as her own sons, after taking care of them for the past few days, she's already starting to feel like she's raising pets.

The kittens grow very quickly. After all, they are a weak group in the beast world, and in order to reproduce as quickly as possible, the kittens must evolve to grow at a faster rate.

Only five or six days have passed, and the two kittens have already grown a lot. Their gray fur is more fluffy, and the stripes on their heads are clearer.

Looking at the ring of teeth marks around the wooden bed, Jin Shu picked up one of the teeth and held it in her hand. She pried open the tooth and saw the sharp tooth that had already protruded.

It's only been a few days and it's already growing teeth.

Since they already had teeth and still liked to bite things randomly, Jin Shu simply threw them two incredibly sturdy pieces of jerky and let them hold them and gnaw on them.

Although the two kittens were still small, they rushed forward fiercely as soon as they smelled the treat and took a bite. Then they curled up in a corner and gnawed on the jerky with difficulty.

Now, the two of them are much quieter.

Jin Shu then took out the fur she had plucked from the rabbit and began to study how to tan it.

This wasn't really her forte, and the rabbit fur smelled terrible, plus the cave was damp and warm, so Jin Shu was a little disgusted.

However, the problem was quickly resolved.

One of the original owner's beast husbands, because Jin Shu hadn't called him for too long, took the initiative to come to her door.

As it happened, he was an expert in tanning animal hides in the tribe, so Jin Shu immediately assigned the task to him.

"The third and fourth brothers went out with the hunting team early this morning, and they should be back by now."

"Third Brother" and "Fourth Brother" are how Jin Shu's husbands address each other.

Liang Xu is the eldest brother, and the fair-skinned, handsome man in front of them who is tanning leather is called A Hai, who calls himself the second brother.

Jin Shu had four beast husbands in total, and the original owner had only met the other two once.

Upon hearing this, Jin Shu replied without even looking up.

"Don't wait anymore, they're not coming back."

Jin Shu had forgotten about it.

Both of her animal husbands will be sacrificed in this hunt.

Because the captain of the hunting team, who is also the chieftain's son, is the next chieftain candidate, Jin Ying's second beast husband.
