Chapter Eleven: The Wei Lin Family
But Liu Yu was stunned by Ma Lan's blow, and the surrounding beastmen were also stunned. Soon, cheers erupted from the crowd. Beastmen are a tribe that worships strength, and such a strong performance is most likely to gain their respect. Facing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Ma Lan looked very calm, he glanced at a small hill in the north, then turned around and ordered the crowd to clean up the battlefield. The magic core, scales, sharp thorns, and meat of the Rift Beast are all very useful for the beastmen, so this battle can be considered a considerable harvest.
At the same time, in the small hill forest that Malan was looking at, several tall figures were discussing something. The first one was not inferior to Malan in height, with a big belly, all blue skin, and a large number of tattoos on his body, except for a small amount of beast skin. He held a thick wooden stick, and the most special thing about him was that there were two heads on his shoulders, one head had a white sharp horn on top, and the other mouth had two huge fangs, this was a cannibal magic master. Next to him were several shorter, pale red-skinned cannibal warriors, also holding thick wooden sticks and having two heads.
Several cannibals were also stunned by Malan's previous blow. After communicating with each other in their underdeveloped language for a while, they quietly left the small hill.
Liu Yu, who was completely unaware of all this, was busy extracting the magic core from the body of the Rift Beast. This was one of the most valuable things on a magical beast and could be used to manufacture potions, magical tools, and many other purposes. The beastman team had probably killed around 145 Rift Beasts this time, with corpses scattered throughout the small forest. Since the magic core needed to be extracted quickly and the meat also needed to be processed quickly to prevent spoilage, all the beastmen except for a few injured soldiers from the previous battle participated in this action, and the forest quickly turned into a slaughterhouse.
The sky soon darkened, and the beastmen, who had just finished their harvest, were able to have a hearty meal. The fatigue of traveling and fighting made them too tired to celebrate, so they each fell into a deep sleep.
A dark figure suddenly appeared at the edge of Malan's tent in the center of the camp and quickly slipped inside.
Ma Lan had not fallen asleep. He sat on the ground, as if waiting for something. A dark shadow entered the tent and bowed slightly to Ma Lan, saying: "General."
"Hmm, found one?" Malan asked without lifting her head.
"Under my command, those incompetent ones, that group of man-eating demons are too cunning, I followed them for several miles and still lost track of them." The black shadow raised its head with a look of regret. If Liu Yu were here, he would recognize this as the second strongest in the team, the early seventh stage Dou Wang Da Di compared to Meng Jia Lin.
"Ah, it's not your fault either. The Lieutenant of the 8th rank Dou Huang has looked for them several times and still can't find them. I just wanted you to try, and if we lose them, that's fine." Marlan didn't blame his subordinate at all, and instead said: "Fortunately, the group of man-eating demons they brought today is only a 4th rank demonic beast group. If it were like last time and they brought a group of 5th or 6th rank demonic beasts, we would be in big trouble."
"Don't worry, sir. The demons in the Desa Mountains are not of high rank to begin with, and fifth- or sixth-rank demon groups aren't everywhere. Besides, after what happened last time, General Du was furious and couldn't find the man-eating demons, so he personally took care of several seventh-rank demons within a few hundred miles around here. He also greatly strengthened the teams traveling between the four camps. If this group of man-eating demons tries to ambush us like last time, they'll only be asking for trouble. Just like today, they retreated in fear of your strength without even summoning all their warriors." Galin replied as if he had been prepared.
"However, we can't afford to lose those brats we're escorting. Last time, it was fortunate that the guards who escorted them fought to the death to protect those kids. Otherwise, according to the kingdom's law, His Majesty the King would have beheaded us. Tomorrow, you'll lead the team as a scout and ensure everything goes smoothly." Malan said in a low voice.
"It's an adult." Galin bowed and left.
On the second day, Liu Yu was awakened in a daze and set off again. The journey from then on was smooth sailing with no more dangers, and they arrived at the Blood Refining Camp ten days later.
"What do you want to eat, sister will make it for you, I just got a lot of meat from the crack beast upstairs. It's also thanks to you two little ones." In a spacious wooden house, several Mo Meng surrounded a table, and inside the wooden house was a simple stone stove. A young woman with green long skirt, brown hair, but white skin on her face and delicate facial features, was cooking at the stove, smiling at the three Mo Meng by the table.
"Great, I haven't had your cooking in years, sister." said Fiete with a hungry look.
"Alexander, just say what you want to eat, don't be polite since you're at your sister's place," said the woman named Baimon.
"Alright, sister, I understand." A man in a brown robe with golden hair smiled and replied. This was Liu Yu, who had just arrived at the Blood Refining Camp and found it to be completely different from his imagination of a cold and harsh place. Most importantly, Fei Te's older sister, also his cousin Elina Welin, and another cousin, Huang Jin Bimon Beren Welin, were both here, and his cousin even warmly invited them into her own home to personally cook for them.
It had been a long time since Liu Yu saw these relatives, and he also felt a kind of inexplicable emotion in his heart. Although he had not forgotten his identity as a descendant of the Yan Huang for more than ten years after his rebirth, he also had very deep feelings for these sincere relatives around him. The scene evoked emotions made him think of his parents Gaia and Naya, as well as his majestic grandfather Crovane, and the entire Wulin family.
The Weilun family is one of the three major families within the Baimon tribe, with a total of over 1,000 people in the entire clan, divided into dozens of branches.
Liu Yu's grandfather was Ge Cheng, who had four brothers. Ge Cheng ranked second among them and had one son and one grandson.
Liu Yu's grandfather had a son and a daughter, a grandson and a granddaughter, namely Feite and Ailina.
Third Grandfather had two sons and three grandsons, and now his cousin Brother Nan is the eldest grandson of Third Grandfather and also the eldest grandson of this branch. Fourth Grandfather had two daughters.
According to the rules of the Bei Mong tribe, after a woman gets married, she is no longer considered part of her original family, and naturally, her children cannot be counted as part of the family either. Therefore, like Liu Yu's fourth grandfather, after his two daughters got married, the second and third generations of this branch were no longer part of the Weilin family.
The Bimon tribe is one of the strongest tribes on the mainland in terms of innate talent and individual strength, but heaven is fair and the Bimon tribe's fertility is very poor. Many families only have one or two children, and it's rare to see a family like Liu Yu's with four sons. Because Kero Wang is now the king of the Beastman Kingdom, this branch of the family has considerable influence in the kingdom, and Liu Yu's several uncles are all high-ranking officials at home.
While there was competition between the various big families, each family paid close attention to unity within their own family and taught their children from a young age to be united. Like the Weilin family in Liu Yu's memory, his elder brothers had always taken care of him, except for Feite who would steal his food.
"Alexander, come try this meat, is it delicious?" Elena's words interrupted Liu Yu's thoughts. On the table, there was already a large plate of roasted meat and black bread, as well as a small amount of wild vegetables, Elena's cooking speed was still very fast.
"Ah, good sister." Liu Yu replied with a smile. After eating a piece of meat, he felt that his cousin's cooking was not bad, and her skills were passable. While Fiete had eaten to his heart's content, he and Eirinna hadn't seen each other for two or three years, and the two siblings chatted happily together, with Liu Yu and Bern not disturbing them.
Bernan is the eldest grandson of the entire Weilin family, two years older than Liu Yu, and also a Huang Jinbi. Therefore, the requirements for Bernan within the clan are very strict, hoping that he can set an example for his many younger brothers and sisters. And Bernan is indeed a good big brother, taking care of Liu Yu and Fei Te from a young age in the Earth Fire Fortress, often helping his siblings get out of trouble.
It's been years since Liu Yu saw his elder cousin, and he had matured a lot. According to the Mongolian custom, one becomes an adult at 16, and Bona was already 15, almost an adult.
"Big brother, I feel that this place is completely different from what the abbot told us." Liu Yu said after chatting with Bo Nan for a while.
"Doesn't it feel comfortable? Not at all like the harsh Blood Refining that Teacher Chang said would happen, right?" asked Bernan with a smile.
"No, I don't have that feeling at all."
"Alas, it's all because of the war with the Empire of Vanaheim..."
