When Yu Ling opened her eyes again in this unfamiliar world, she felt a little weak, probably due to malnutrition caused by the original owner not eating enough for a long time. The air was very fresh, but unfortunately it did not contain any spiritual energy.
Looking around, all I could see were towering trees, as if I were in some ancient forest. The clear chirping of birds filled my ears, and the grass at my feet rustled from time to time, as if unseen insects and snakes were scurrying about.
Seeing no one else around, Yu Ling found an open space nearby and began to receive the original owner's memories.
This is a world without humans, only various animals and intelligent "beast races".
These "beastmen" are divided into males and females. Males possess two forms: a ferocious beast form, much larger than other animals of their kind, and a more human-like "beastman" form. They can switch between the two at will. However, females only have one "beastman" form.
The females' "beastman" form is not simply a human appearance; they also possess unique beast-like characteristics, such as their sense of smell, agility, strength, and individual lifestyle habits.
In short, both males and females of these "beast race" possess superior appearance and genes compared to humans. Of course, their most striking characteristic is that they can all speak!
Moreover, regardless of their race, all beastmen speak a unified language—the Flower Kingdom language. Their dietary habits are also omnivorous, just like humans; they don't eat only grass or only meat. The reason for this is unknown, but perhaps... it's not impossible that one of the creators of the beastmen was a transmigrator from the Flower Kingdom.
The original owner was a "male" beastman, but his beast form might not be very suitable for this place. The original owner's true form was a... little white rabbit.
To escape the dangers of the great forest, the original owner was accidentally separated from his tribe and joined the lion tribe's territory as a priest. Out of respect for the priesthood, no beastmen looked down on him because he was an outsider. He prayed to the beast god every day and healed the wounded beastmen, so his life was quite pleasant.
However, one day the female protagonist travels from the modern world and is picked up by the leader of the lion clan, completely disrupting the original owner's peaceful life.
Beast God? What kind of god is there in the world? Healing wounds with various leaves? No, no, no, it's the anti-inflammatory medicine she carries with her that works. Even though the lion-tribe beastmen didn't believe it at first, as the female protagonist refined salt to cure meat for winter, sewed clothes from animal hides, cooked with seasonings, built stone houses instead of caves, and so on, her life got better and better, and the original owner's role was marginalized.
Could the original owner bear the sudden drop in treatment? He was just a rabbit who used to only know how to grow radishes with the rabbit clan and had no hunting skills. After losing his priesthood, he couldn't even get enough to eat.
So, taking advantage of the fact that the female protagonist was often kidnapped by other races, he deliberately found an opportunity to have the snake race abduct her. After a series of internal conspiracies, wars between multiple races over territory, and natural disasters, the female protagonist moved between many races and finally drove out the original owner, the 'villain' who was causing trouble behind the scenes.
Although it seems like the female lead is showing mercy and letting him go, this is a dangerous forest full of dangers, and the original owner was a rabbit-type beastman with no fighting ability!
The tribes that had interacted with the female protagonist all rejected her. Without a tribe to rely on, she would likely have been easily devoured by some carnivorous beasts. No wonder the main god threw her in to save her life.
After understanding his situation, Yu Ling was not in a hurry to find a new place to live. Even though his divine power and internal energy were restricted in this world, he was still a tree spirit. He couldn't just lose his life in the forest, could he?
The perilous forest became Yu Ling's natural dining hall. She could tell at a glance whether the fruit on the trees was poisonous or what the effects of the surrounding plants were. The rabbit tribe had amazing jumping ability and strong leg muscles. As Yu Ling hurried away from the female lead, she filled the original owner's hungry stomach to about 70-80%.
Although this place is very similar to the human world, the beastman world is almost entirely covered by trees, mountains, lakes and other environments suitable for animal breeding, with few wilderness areas, which makes even a random forest incredibly large.
Yu Ling didn't want to attract carnivorous beasts, so without changing back into her rabbit form, her speed was incredibly slow. Even though she had walked a very, very long way, she still hadn't reached the edge of the forest.
However, if you don't find a place to roost before sunset, the wild beasts that come out at night are not so easy to deal with.
Whether Yu Ling was incredibly lucky or incredibly unlucky, he actually encountered a lone orc hunting before sunset. Unfortunately, the wolf orc was badly injured, covered in scratches and bite marks, bleeding profusely, and looked like it was about to die.
A massive tiger hovered around him, but hesitated to bite. Instead, it nudged two or three cubs with its head, signaling its offspring to take matters into their own hands and end the wolf's life.
Soon, the tiger, sensing the unfamiliar presence, seemed to notice Yu Ling, the uninvited guest. It turned around and looked at him warily, letting out a threatening roar.
Yu Ling glanced at the wolf lying on the ground and sighed inwardly. Was this wolf starving? Tigers, which lack intelligence, usually have fixed hunting grounds. For it to barge into the tiger's mouth and steal food like this was clearly courting death!
The poor wolf was still struggling, panting softly. Following the tiger's gaze, it looked at Yu Ling, its eyes shining with a desire for life, and let out a long "Awooo!"
In this situation, Yu Ling has two choices: either run away in fear and leave it alone, or rescue the wolf from the tiger's jaws and infiltrate the wolf tribe to live.
If the former is chosen, other wolves may smell their own scent near the corpse of their companion, which could easily lead to misunderstandings.
—The territory of each tribe and clan is inviolable, even if the original owner has left the original tribe.
Therefore, Yu Ling could only choose the second option. Only by bearing the debt of gratitude she owed to the wolf clan for saving her life could she gain the right to communicate with them on an equal footing.
He approached the tiger bare-handed. Although he looked thin and small and posed no threat, the tiger and its three cubs retreated step by step. However, the tiger, lacking reason, was ultimately driven by instinct and pounced on Yu Ling with a yelp.
The wolf lying on the ground heard the fighting and knew that the newcomers were there to rescue him, and hope suddenly ignited in his heart!
But when he caught a glimpse of Yu Ling charging at the tiger out of the corner of his eye, with her two ears still standing upright on her head... in that instant, all hope vanished, and the wolf closed its eyes and lay down, ready to die.
