Qi Ming immediately asked, "Can our tribe send people to your place to learn?"
Jian Mo said seriously, "There are certain requirements for learning witch medicine. You can send people over, but I will use an exam to select the best candidates."
Lian Ke was the kind of witch doctor who wasn't very good at his job. Jian Mo had already gained experience from seeing him and didn't want to train any more witch doctors like him who collected people and resources but couldn't properly treat illnesses.
Qi Ming assured, "That's no problem. We also hope to find a reliable witch doctor."
Jian Mo said, "Then you can just sign up when the time comes, and we'll select the candidates ourselves. Let's make it clear first, the exam will be fair and impartial; please don't let this affect our friendship."
Qi Ming: "No, if we can't even pass the exam, then it's because our people are incompetent. We should focus on studying harder. How could we possibly blame you?"
After discussing business, Qi Ming asked Jian Mo and Wu Jiong to the Rain Rising Tribe for the night so they could get some rest.
Jian Mo declined, saying, "Jiujiu wants to go to the Cypress Branch Tribe. We agreed to take her there to play, so let's go while it's still early."
Qi Ming stood up. "We were just thinking of going to the Cypress Branch Tribe too, we'll go with you."
Jian Mo looked at Qi Ming's calm face and hesitated, "Won't you two start fighting?"
Qi Ming: "No, we have a good relationship now."
They were, after all, friendly tribes, and the people from the Rain Rising Tribe said they wanted to go with them. Jian Mo and Wu Jiong couldn't just force them to stay.
As a result, the team that originally consisted of two people and two chirps instantly expanded to more than a dozen people.
Two Flying-Winged Beast flew in the air, Wu Jiong transformed back into a giant wolf, carrying Jian Mo on the ground, with the Pallas's rabbits following behind.
This was the first time Jian Mo saw Qi Ming transform back into his beast form.
Both are Pallas's cats, Qi Ming's body is much larger. Perhaps because his eyes are narrower, he looks particularly handsome, with a kind of fierce and valiant air like a feline.
Even without seeing him make a move, Jian Mo could guess that he must be quite skilled.
Having a partner, Jian Mo looked away after a few seconds.
He'd seen plenty of big cats; giant wolves were much more appealing.
Everyone was running through the jungle, and they were running quite fast.
As felines, Pallas's cats have excellent stamina, similar to that of Ban Ming and others.
They ran around for half the afternoon without saying they wanted to rest.
As they entered the territory of the Cypress Branch Tribe, before even reaching Cypress Branch Tribe settlement, they saw a flock of plump chirps flying in the air, chirping and chattering, as if they were hunting something.
The chubby birds first saw Jiujiu and Ying'ao, then looked over and saw Jian Mo and the others. They flapped their wings and came over to greet them, "Jian Mo! What brings you here? We've missed you so much!"
Jian Mo waved with a smile, "We missed you all, so we came here specifically to visit you."
The chubby chicks. "Welcome, welcome! We're hunting Cave Beast, wait a minute!"
Jian Mo: "Cave Beast?"
The fat chicks said, "It's a kind of beast we have here. It tastes alright, but it's very cunning and runs very fast. Jian Mo, wait a moment, we'll be able to hunt it down soon."
Qi Ming, now transformed into a Pallas's rabbit, stepped forward. "Need any help?"
The fat birds seem to have reconciled somewhat with the Pallas's cats, but they still can't accept help from their old rivals.
The leader of the chubby chicks, Chick Wan Zheng, glanced at Qi Ming and declined, saying, "No need, thank you, we can manage on our own."
Seeing this, the Pallas's cats stopped going forward.
The fat birds' attitude towards the Pallas's cats was rather lukewarm; while there was less tension, it wasn't exactly enthusiastic either.
In contrast, the chubby birds really doted on Jian Mo.
They invited Jian Mo, "Jian Mo, do you want to come hunting with us? It looks like a lot of fun."
Jian Mo had never heard of Cave Beast before, and his heart was filled with curiosity.
He had nothing else to do, so going hunting would be perfect. He readily agreed, "Sure!"
The chubby chicks immediately flew high and commanded, "This way!"
The fat chicks flew in the sky and had a very clear view of the situation on the ground.
Before long, they found the Cave Beast's tracks and chattered excitedly, wanting to hunt Cave Beast down.
Jiujiu and Ying'ao joined in the fun.
The giant wolf carried Jian Mo forward, and Jian Mo sat high on its back. Soon, she could see clearly that there was indeed a wild beast in front of her, similar to a wild boar, but much larger, at least three meters long.
The beast charged wildly, but no matter which way it ran, there were always fat chicks blocking its way.
After running for a while, the beast finally found an abandoned cave and was about to crawl inside.
The fat chicks cried out in alarm, "Quick, quick, block it! Don't let it get into the cave!"
The Cave Beast ran too fast; before the fat chicks could even call out, it had already plunged into the cave.
The giant wolf carried Jian Mo forward and saw the Cave Beast's rear end.
Its large, dark rear end blocked the cave entrance, looking like a door. I wonder if it was because it was too big to fit completely inside the cave.
Jian Mo and her friends had just seen the Fruit Beetle blocking the entrance to the hole. The Fruit Beetle's head was marked with a sign of abundant gummy candies, so seeing Fruit Beetle meant there would be a harvest.
Seeing the Cave Beast, Jian Mo was also very excited, hugging the giant wolf's neck. "Wu Jiong, hurry!"
The chubby chicks were terrified. "Jian Mo, you guys leave first, don't chase after it, it'll fart!!!"
Jian Mo and the others had already approached. Hearing the words of the fat birds, Jian Mo and the giant wolf did not realize the seriousness of the situation, so they slowed down and continued to move towards the Cave Beast.
Jian Mo even thought to herself that there are plenty of prey that fart, so it's no big deal; she could just hold her breath and avoid them.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, the Cave Beast farted.
The fart, like a sandstorm, even had a color, and it came straight at them.
Jian Mo was stunned when she first saw a colored fart.
The giant wolf nimbly leaped to the side, but still couldn't completely escape the scent.
