I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"It's eating its own kind, which is somewhat similar to the Honkai Beasts that were recorded as devouring their own kind. I'm afraid that Honkai Beast also grew to such a large size by devouring its own kind."

Cang Xuan said with a somewhat serious expression:

"It seems we need to take the initiative to deal with that Judgment-class Honkai Beast Chi You. Otherwise, if we let that Honkai Beast eat us, we might not even be able to fight it anymore."

Chapter 234 [The author's computer crashed/broke down]

After Yuhaka placed the tracker on the skeleton dragon, he returned to the Youxiong clan. Upon his return, Yuhaka demanded payment from Chiyuan and the others. Chiyuan made Yuhaka a sweet and sour fish dish, which Yuhaka accepted with great satisfaction.

Afterwards, Cangxuan and the others went to calculate the route of the Honkai Beast Skeleton Dragon.

In Chi Yuan and the others' small house, Cang Xuan and the others were investigating the movement route of the Honkai Beast Skeleton Dragon. According to Cang Xuan's quantum computer, the Honkai Beast's movement route would follow the river, so it seemed that the Honkai Beast would not go too far from the water.

"An aquatic Honkai Beast? That's rather rare."

Danzhu looked at the Honkai Beast Skeleton Dragon and stroked her chin, saying, "To be honest, aquatic Honkai Beasts are usually more docile. They never stray too far from the water. This is the first time Danzhu and the others have ever seen a Honkai Beast like Skeleton Dragon."

"It looks like it's looking for food..."

Hearing Chi Yuan's words, Cang Xuan, who was standing to the side, said:

"That's unlikely. Honkai Beasts generally don't need to eat; they can survive by absorbing the Honkai energy around them. That Honkai Beast was probably replenishing its Honkai energy rather than eating."

Hearing Cang Xuan's words, Chi Yuan nodded, while Cang Xuan said with some concern:

"However, I'm more worried that if that Honkai Beast keeps eating like this, it might become even more difficult to deal with."

Hearing Cang Xuan's words, Chi Yuan looked at her and said:

"Do you need me to deal with that Honkai Beast?"

Cang Xuan shook his head and said to Chi Yuan:

"No, we don't know much about that Honkai Beast yet, and we don't know its weaknesses either."

Then, as if remembering something, Cang Xuan turned to look at Chi Yuan and said:

"Also, don't even think about using that 'move' to deal with the Judgment-class Honkai Beast."

Hearing Cang Xuan's words, Chi Yuan was stunned. She had just wanted to use a move with side effects but great power to deal with the Honkai Beast, but she did not expect that Cang Xuan would see through her so quickly.

"Ah... I understand, I won't use it unless absolutely necessary..."

After hearing Chi Yuan's answer, Cang Xuan continued to look at his quantum computer with satisfaction.

................................................

Meanwhile, thanks to the help of Chi Yuan and the others, the refugees from other tribes in the Youxiong clan also had temporary shelter, and at least they didn't have to worry about rain anymore.

Meanwhile, Yuhaka was preparing some food. After putting some seasonings into a pot of hot water, Yuhaka also put in some prepared meat slices and waited for the meat to cook.

Ji Lin, who was standing to the side, looked at Yuhaka sitting next to a pot with some confusion and asked Yuhaka:

"Master Youyou, what are you doing?"

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka tilted his head and looked at Ji Lin, saying:

Hot pot!

"?"

Ji Lin, who was hearing the word "hot pot" for the first time, also seemed a little confused, but Yuhaka's hot pot recipe seemed like a hodgepodge.

However, Yuhaka's hot pot method looks a bit different. Ji Lin noticed that Yuhaka's hot pot method seems to involve adding ingredients little by little, while the mixed stew method involves putting a large amount of ingredients into a pot and stewing them all together.

"Ji Lin, ah~"

Yuhaka picked up a slice of cooked meat and said "Ah!" to Ji Lin. Ji Lin was stunned for a moment when she saw Yuhaka's action, then opened her small mouth and took the slice of meat that Yuhaka handed her. As soon as Ji Lin put the slice of meat in her mouth, she felt a numbing and spicy sensation spread in her mouth. Ji Lin was choked by the sudden numbing and spicy taste. Although it was a little hot, it was not a problem for Ji Lin, who had undergone various physical changes and awakened her Holy Mark.

"Spicy! Spicy! Spicy—!"

Ji Lin, feeling the spiciness, quickly chewed the piece of meat in her mouth and swallowed it. She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then Yuhaka, who was standing next to her, handed her a bottle of juice.

"Uh... thank you..."

When Ji Lin saw the bottle of juice handed to her by Yuhaka, she subconsciously thought it was the same "juice" from last time. But she relaxed a little after realizing it wasn't the same juice. After all, what happened last time made Ji Lin a little cautious about that "juice." She knew that she and Yuhaka were currently in the Youxiong clan tribe, and she didn't want anyone to know about those things.

Ji Lin took the juice from Youhaka and said thank you.

As the sweet juice slid into her mouth, Ji Lin immediately felt the numbing and spicy sensation lessen considerably. Then, she saw Yuhaka place the chopsticks in her hand and say to her:

"Ji Lin, feed Youyou~ (?˙▽˙?)"

Seeing Yuhaka wagging its big tail and begging to be fed, Ji Lin felt that Yuhaka was kind of cute, giving Ji Lin a feeling of being an older sister. This gave Ji Lin a different feeling, after all, she didn't have a younger sister.

"Come on, ah~"

Ji Lin picked up a piece of meat and gestured for Yuhaka to open her mouth. Yuhaka then opened her mouth and ate the meat from Ji Lin's chopsticks.

The two then fed each other bites. After finishing the hot pot, Yuhaka tidied up the cooking utensils and went hunting with Ji Lin. Although the Xiong clan had some food reserves, they were all for winter and not suitable for the refugees.

However, the number of hunters in the Xiong clan is very limited. Even among the refugees, there are some hunters, but the prey they hunt is not enough to feed the current refugees. Therefore, Yuhaka and Jilin decided to go hunting, since Yuhaka has a dimensional space to store the prey.

Hmm, you're asking about the food reserves inside the Yuhaka Dimensional Cave? Sorry, Yuhaka won't give any to those refugees, since they haven't given Yuhaka anything. The Youxiong Clan at least gave Yuhaka offerings and such, which is why Yuhaka helps the Youxiong Clan hunt for food.

In the wild, Yuhaka took Jilin on a hunting trip. While they were hunting, they encountered Chiyuan, who was also hunting. Seeing Chiyuan carrying a hunting bow, Jilin asked her to join them. Chiyuan nodded in agreement, knowing that Yuhaka had a space to store prey, which would make things much easier for her.

Chapter 235 [Ji Lin: Only Once!]

"Cun Jin opens the sky!"

With Chi Yuan's cry of "Inch Force Opens the Heavens," a battlefield-level Honkai Beast was smashed to pieces by Fu Hua, just like a block of tofu.

Yuhaka and Ji Lin, who were watching from the side, clapped their hands with bright eyes and exclaimed in amazement. For Ji Lin, it was the first time she had ever seen someone defeat a Honkai Beast with their bare hands, and even destroy it with a single punch.

Yuhaka saw moves that resembled those of Yan Kingdom Kung Fu. After all, it was the Iron-Eating Beast who had taught her this, and Yuhaka had learned a move or two.

After smashing the head of the tank-class Honkai Beast, Chi Yuan shook off the remaining Honkai Beast tissue on her hand and sighed, saying:

"Today's performance wasn't perfect enough..."

Ji Lin, who was standing nearby, shook it and said to Chi Yuan:

"Lord Chiyuan's performance was already perfect."

"Mmmmm."

Yuhaka, who was standing to the side, nodded as well. Seeing the bright, sparkling eyes of Yuhaka and Ji Lin, Chi Yuan also wore a somewhat embarrassed expression and said:

"This is just some basic stuff (gestures)."

Then Chi Yuan looked at Ji Lin and asked:

"By the way, Ji Lin, are the food supplies for the refugees ready?"

Upon hearing Chi Yuan's question, Ji Lin counted on her fingers and said:

"Hmm... I think that's about right. If our tribe expands some of its farmland, it should be able to meet the food needs of the refugees, provided that the refugees are willing to help."

Hearing Ji Lin's words, Chi Yuan nodded to indicate that she understood. It was not difficult to get the refugees to help with farming, but the key was that edible plant seeds were hard to come by.

However, Yuhaka raised her little hand to indicate that she had those things. Seeing that Yuhaka had seeds, Chiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, since she wasn't very good at those things.

After Yuhaka and Chiyuan returned to the Youxiong clan, Yuhaka handed over the hunted prey and plant seeds to the clan members. After giving the items to the Youxiong clan members, Ji Lin and the others also temporarily returned to Dragon Immortal Mountain.

Chi Yuan stayed behind to help the Youxiong clan, while Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan tracked the location of the Honkai Beast Skeleton Dragon to prevent it from attacking other tribes. Fortunately, the Honkai Beast Skeleton Dragon was relatively well-behaved and went to hunt other Honkai Beasts.

On Dragon Immortal Mountain, after returning to their nest, Ji Lin and Yuhaka picked up their game consoles and started playing. When it was almost time for bed, Yuhaka and Ji Lin prepared a hot bath and then went to sleep.

While taking a bath, Ji Lin's eyes darted around a bit. For Ji Lin, the incident with the Melu Cat "Juice" was still fresh in her memory, after all, less than 24 hours had passed since the incident ended.

"Hmm? OwO"

Yuhaka, who was standing nearby, suddenly noticed a familiar scent emanating from Ji Lin, whose face was flushed. Excited, Yuhaka wagged its large tail and said to Ji Lin:

"Ji Lin, do you want to [beep]?"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's name, Ji Lin let out a soft "Pfft!" and blushed deeply as she looked at Yuhaka, making a soft "Ah-woo" sound. However, when Ji Lin saw Yuhaka's eager expression, she couldn't refuse, so she nodded shyly and agreed to Yuhaka's request.

However, Ji Lin still said to Yuhaka:

"However, only once!"

"Yes, Youyou understand."

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Yuhaka's eyes turned cold, and as if he had realized something, he nodded to indicate that he understood.

..........................................

The next morning, after getting up and having breakfast, Ji Lin, who was planning to go with Yuhaka, suddenly received a letter by carrier pigeon, interrupting his plans. After reading the contents of the letter, Ji Lin looked at Yuhaka and said:

“Master Youyou, Lord Chiyuan sent a letter saying that he has something urgent to tell us.”

As Yuhaka weighed the pigeon in his hand, he looked at Ji Lin with a puzzled expression after hearing Ji Lin's words:

"Red Kite, is something the matter?"

Ji Lin nodded and said to Yuhaka:

"Yes, in the letter, Lady Chiyuan said that she needed our help with something."

Upon hearing Ji Lin's words, Youhaka put down the pigeon in his hand and prepared to go to the Youxiong clan tribe.

..........................................

As Yuhaka landed like a missile, a tribesman led Yuhaka and Ji Lin to the small house where Chi Yuan and the others lived. There, Ji Lin and Yuhaka saw Cang Xuan and the others looking at something that was emitting light with serious expressions.

"Lord Chiyuan, what brings you and Master Youyou here?"

Upon seeing Yuhaka and the others arrive, Danzhu and the others waved for them to come and sit down. As Ji Lin sat down next to Danzhu, Danzhu sniffed her little nose and said:

"Hmm? Why does it smell a strange odor?"

Upon hearing Danzhu's words, Ji Lin trembled and blushed, saying:

"It's probably because I had a bowl of hot porridge this morning, I'm sweating a bit now... hahaha..."

Danzhu glanced at Ji Lin with a bit of curiosity and doubt. Although Danzhu felt that Ji Lin was acting a little strange today, Danzhu thought that it was because Ji Lin treated them like immortals that made her feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Danzhu did smell a strange odor. With Cangxuan's cough interrupting her thoughts, Danzhu stopped thinking about those things.

Chapter 236 [Surprise Attack, the Expedition Begins]

Soon, after getting down to business, Cangxuan and the others informed Ji Lin and Yuhaka about the Honkai Beast Skeleton Dragon.

Not long ago, the Judgment-class Honkai Beast [Chi You], also known as the Skeleton Dragon, suddenly changed direction from its original location and is now heading straight for the Youxiong Clan tribe.
