RPAGF Chapter 2: He became a sub-beastman
Chapter 2: He became a sub-beastman
What's going on here? Are they going to start a wilderness survival exercise?
Lin Baiyan sighed with worry. He had no hands or feet, but at least when he was a person, he could take care of himself.
At this moment, the young man deeply missed the time when he was still a person.
Lin Baiyan stared blankly at the small puddle...
Perhaps Lin Baiyan had been talking about it for too long, his mind was constantly filled with thoughts of becoming human, and a strange memory, accompanied by pain, surged into Lin Baiyan's mind.
The kitten fell down uncontrollably, and its body underwent changes.
After the pain subsided, Lin Baiyan slowly opened her eyes and found that she had really turned back into a human, and that she also had the life memories of another person in her mind.
His life was actually very simple. This continent was a world of beastmen, and the gender of beastmen was not divided into male and female, but into male beastmen and sub-beastmen.
Male orcs, regardless of gender, are enormous and powerful in their beast form, making them adept at combat. Sub-orcs, on the other hand, are smaller and less suited for hunting, but are skilled at gathering. Both males and females can reproduce. They typically perform logistical tasks within the tribe.
He is now dressed as a sub-orc.
Thinking about this, the young man was slightly overwhelmed. What was going on? Men could give birth now?!
Cat White lost its father and mother when it was young. In the white cat tribe, the brown-colored cat with black stripes was not popular and had a somewhat gloomy and introverted personality since it was young.
After the great earthquake, all the tribes suffered very serious losses. Many orcs believed that this was the wrath of the Beast God and were forced to leave their original tribal settlements to find new territories.
On their journey to find new territory, as winter approached, the White Cat Tribe's leader, citing food shortages, drove out some of the tribe's elderly and disabled orcs.
Cat White and more than forty old, weak, sick and disabled people from the tribe migrated northwards for more than twenty days with great difficulty. Many people died along the way, and they also encountered some other orcs who had been lost or abandoned by the tribe. In the end, their scattered and dilapidated group had grown to more than sixty people.
After more than twenty days of arduous migration, Mao Bai looked extremely thin and weak.
Lin Baiyan looked at his new body from left to right and found that it was no different from his previous one, except that it was a little more withered and even his appearance was very similar to his previous one.
Then the thought crossed his mind: beast form... beast form...
Smack! A tiny, fluffy kitten, about half the size of an arm, is reflected in the puddle.
Looking at herself inside, Lin Baiyan felt a sense of familiarity...
The tribe of Maobai didn't know its worth; its beast form was clearly that of a black-footed cat!
What's the use of just looking at the coat color? Black-footed cats are super-powerful hunters known as "night killers"!
Even if he has a subhuman body, with the natural buff of this beast form, he won't be any worse than any beast form if he trains properly.
However, he is not used to his beast form right now, so it's better for him to stay in human form for now.
He transformed back into a human and stretched his limbs. Looking around, he realized he was only wearing a piece of animal skin clothing to cover his body, and due to hunger, Lin Baiyan felt completely powerless.
But since he could become human, he hadn't reached a dead end yet. The young man seemed to be deep in thought. He looked at the sun that had appeared in the forest at some point, and the rain had stopped.
His immediate priority is to find some food and get back to their communal cave as quickly as possible.
If there were any large wild beasts out in this desolate wilderness, his weak appearance probably wouldn't even be enough for a beast to swallow him whole!
Thinking of this, Lin Baiyan became determined to go back as soon as possible. Although he didn't know the people in the cave, he always felt safer in a crowded place.
He was only wearing a piece of magical animal skin, with his toes sticking out. He didn't even want to think about how painful it would be if he walked on it like that.
Moreover, who knows if there are any poisonous insects or anything like that in the soil.
He looked around and picked up a few large, hard leaves. The moment he touched the leaves, a few words came to Lin Baiyan's mind: "Long-fruited tree leaves, non-toxic, fruit can be used to make soap pods."
Lin Baiyan paused for a moment, then looked around and found an unfamiliar plant that looked like a mushroom but was unusually plump. A line of words popped into his mind: Tiger Paw Mushroom, non-toxic, edible, and delicious.
Lin Baiyan was now certain that he could indeed recognize these things.
The young man was somewhat pleased. After all, there were too many unknowns in this place, which was like a primeval forest. With this, he could at least identify what was edible and avoid being poisoned to death one day.
Is this God's compensation to him?
Lin Baiyan didn't care about anything else at the moment and quickly picked all the tiger paw mushrooms from the grass. Perhaps because it had just rained, the tiger paw mushrooms were particularly large.
This tiger paw mushroom doesn't look like the mushrooms I saw on Earth before, but that makes sense, since I've come to a new continent and can't look at it from the perspective I had on Earth.
Lin Baiyan picked eight or nine large tiger paw mushrooms, wrapped them in a relatively large leaf from the ground, and tied them together with a sturdy vine.
Then, using the same method, he wrapped his feet up layer by layer and tied them securely with vines.
He took a couple of steps and felt that the ground was no longer so sharp.
The young man nodded in satisfaction, picked up the food he had just obtained, and hurried towards the communal cave. He wasn't greedy; he just wanted to find something edible. There were too many unknown dangers in this forest, and it wasn't advisable for him to wander around aimlessly alone.
Cat White wouldn't have come out unless he was starving. As a lone sub-beastman, encountering a giant beast would basically be him being sent to his death.
Lin Baiyan followed the route in his memory toward the cave. On the way back, the young man saw spiky balls that looked like chestnuts. He peeled off the hard outer shell and found that they were indeed chestnuts.
This was quite an unexpected surprise. Lin Baiyan gathered the scattered chestnut balls together and looked at the small pile of chestnuts, feeling a bit troubled.
He had no tools to take back. The young man looked around, but there were no vines or anything else he could use to weave baskets.
Lin Baiyan knows how to weave baskets. His grandfather taught him when he was a child. His grandfather was a carpenter who made a living by his carpentry skills, so basket weaving was a piece of cake for him.
However, without the necessary ingredients, even with his exceptional skills, he was powerless to do anything. Yet, the young man was also unwilling to watch the food he had almost obtained slip away.
He looked around and realized that the group cave wasn't far away. Lin Baiyan thought for a moment, then covered the chestnuts with fallen leaves and decided to return to the cave and come back again.
It's still early, there shouldn't be any problems.
Lin Baiyan was carrying a straw bag when a small figure pounced on him as soon as he entered.
