Bonus Extra Four
Shi Wen showed the test results to Jian Mo and Wu Jiong, who had returned to human form. "It seems there are no problems for now. If you have time, it would be even better if you went back to your childhood development again in a couple of years."
Jian Mo nodded gratefully, "Okay. Thank you so much for the food and medical resources you provided."
Shi Wen smiled and said, "No need to be so polite, we're all friends. Besides, you've provided us with a lot of research materials, and Wu Jiong has helped us with so much work."
While reviewing the test results, Wu Jiong said, "It wasn't much. You've been taking care of us, and you even helped look after Jiujiu and Ying'ao. Thank you."
Shi Wen, "You're too kind. Let's keep in touch."
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong nodded in unison, saying, "Definitely."
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and smiled at their unspoken understanding.
Chapter 212 Bonus Chapter 4
It was easy for Jian Mo and her group to get to Earth, and it wasn't difficult for them to return to the orc world either.
Shi Wen and Yan Kexing personally helped them stabilize spacetime, allowing them to return safely.
Unfortunately, while living things are relatively easy to traverse through overlapping time-space regions, supplies are difficult to carry and are easily lost during the journey, posing a risk. Otherwise, Jian Mo would have carried back at least ten or eight boxes of books.
Shi Wen also expressed some regret about this, and comforted him by telling him to come again next time.
After passing through the intersection of time and space, they returned to the orc world.
As the winds of late summer and early autumn blow, familiar scenery fills the eyes.
Jian Mo felt a sense of complete peace wash over her as she experienced all of this.
He exchanged a glance with Wu Jiong, and it was clear that Wu Jiong also felt a sense of relief, as if he had returned home.
Jian Mo holding Wu Jiong's hand, about to speak, when she suddenly heard a roar coming from afar, like a group of monkeys.
No monkey-like orcs have been found in the orc world yet; the strange noises could only come from other orc sub-orcs.
They looked up into the distance and saw a group of people riding Flying-Winged Beast approaching them— the Flying-Winged Beast that Ying'ao had helped train.
The group of people didn't fly directly towards them; instead, when they reached the top of the trees, they jumped down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.
They were still in human form when they jumped out, but they turned back into beast form when they were in mid-air.
The enormous beast-like creature landed directly on the tree, using the soft branches to absorb the impact, and then leaped from the treetop to the ground in a few swift movements. Its agile and wild movements made it a highly entertaining sight.
The process was terrifying; Jian Mo was afraid they might fall to the ground at any moment.
Jian Mo clenched his fists and turned to Wu Jiong, saying, "If I'm not mistaken, it's Ban Ming and the others, right? Did you guys play this kind of game when you were young?"
Wu Jiong: "When we were young, our tribe didn't raise Flying-Winged Beast."
Jian Mo: "I understand, this is a new game developed by Ban Ming and his team."
Wu Jiong nodded. "It should be."
Jian Mo stared ahead. "I'm starting to understand why there are always so few people in each tribe."
As they were talking, the huge gray cat and orange cat ran over and reached them in just a few steps.
Before the big gray cat Ban Ming could even transform back into human form, it asked enthusiastically, "What are you talking about? Which tribe has few people?"
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong exchanged a glance. Wu Jiong's eyes were smiling, and he should have understood what he meant by "there are few foreigners." However, Ban Ming and the others definitely wouldn't understand.
Jian Mo didn't offer much explanation, only asking, "How did you jump from the Flying-Winged Beast to the treetops?"
Ban Ming: "This is fun!"
Jian Mo was speechless. "It wouldn't be fun if you accidentally got pierced through by a tree branch. It's better to play on the lake; at least the chances of getting hurt when you hit the water are lower."
Ban Ming chuckled twice, "We played there in the summer, it's a bit cold now, it's more fun playing in the treetops."
Jian Mo commented, "If you keep playing like this, I definitely won't treat your injuries."
Ban Ming and the others shrank back timidly, not daring to say anything more. However, they were still very happy to see them return. They ran over to help lead Jiujiu and Ying'ao, and asked them about their experiences on the trip.
Jiujiu really liked the group of young people. When it saw them, it nuzzled against each of them and Jiujiu several times.
They chatted as they walked.
Jian Mo and Wu Jiong had already discussed it and briefly explained some things to satisfy the youths' curiosity.
Everyone returned to the tribe. The tribespeople were very happy to see Jian Mo and Wu Jiong back. They spread the word among themselves and came over to chat with them.
They had been away from the tribe for a long time, yet everything at home remained perfectly organized.
Now that they're back, there's basically no need to clean; they can just put their things down and sit and chat.
Back in their tribe, Jian Mo and her companions resumed hunting and gathering.
Both jobs were actually very interesting. They adapted in two days, got back into the swing of things, and improved their hunting and gathering skills.
That day, Jian Mo went out to collect resources with the main group.
There are many nuts in autumn, and many of them grow high up on the trees.
According to the original plan, when it was time to pick these kinds of nuts, Jian Mo would usually stand under the tree and wait for others to shake the nuts down before slowly picking them up.
Today he volunteered, enthusiastically unloading his basket. "I want to go up the tree and shake the fruit too!"
Qing Kuo stopped him, saying, "These trees are a bit too tall, why don't we do it?"
Jian Mo rolled up her sleeves, eager to try, and said, "It's okay, I've already mastered tree-climbing skills."
Let alone climbing trees, when he was a cat, he often went up to the roof, which was much harder than climbing trees.
Seeing his insistence, Qing Kuo smiled and said, "Alright, you give it a try."
Despite saying that, Qing Kuo didn't leave the tree. Instead, he kept a close eye on Jian Mo, so that if Jian Mo accidentally fell from the tree, Qing Kuo could protect him.
When they first met, Jian Mo's clumsy tree-climbing skills left a deep impression on Qing Kuo, so much so that Qing Kuo doesn't dare to trust him too much now.
Seeing this, Jian Mo didn't explain. He simply took off his shoes, extended his claws, jumped onto the tree, and climbed up using both hands and feet, quickly reaching a height of several tens of meters.
