Chapter 256
Song Tiantian lay on the wooden board bed, resting with her eyes closed.
She was a talkative person, but now she was disguised as a mute, unable to utter a single word, which was truly uncomfortable.
She could only absorb more spiritual energy from the energy stones to accelerate the recovery of her injuries.
However, when she went out, she didn’t need to use a crutch and could walk.
Although she couldn’t speak now, she could walk and explore the surrounding environment.
This was the Beast Realm, after all.
Her space had expanded a lot. Although Song Tiantian had covered it all with soil, she could store more soil, and she still had a large area that hadn’t been planted before!
After all, the land in her space was mainly used by Song Tiantian to plant rice and vegetables, but now, Song Tiantian was alone, and she couldn’t possibly eat all this rice.
Planting more on this land would be a waste, so it was better to re-cover it with soil.
To be lazy, Song Tiantian had also transplanted many fruit trees into her space. Fruit trees didn’t need much care usually; as long as the time was right, she could have fruit to eat every day.
Song Tiantian had planted fruits from all four seasons, all for the purpose of having fruit to eat year-round.
Therefore, Song Tiantian was not lacking in food at all; even if she stayed alone in a desolate desert for a lifetime, she wouldn’t worry about starving to death.
Song Tiantian vaguely sensed that someone was watching her from the shadows.
Especially after Song Tiantian walked out of the courtyard, this feeling of being watched became even more obvious.
It made Song Tiantian feel too embarrassed to even dig soil.
After all, everyone had a pet beast space, but their pet beast spaces were not this vast.
Even Dr. Bai only had three hundred square meters.
Dr. Bai was a nine-star beast tamer!
If people knew she used her pet beast space to store soil, wouldn’t that prove her pet beast space was very large?
Wouldn’t that be a bit too wasteful?
So Song Tiantian restrained herself a bit.
“@##￥@#￥@#￥！”
Just as Song Tiantian wanted to walk further, the girl who brought her food appeared and stopped her.
The terrain here looked similar, with a few withered trees. As she walked further, Song Tiantian could also see some black grass on the ground.
Song Tiantian couldn’t remember the way, but the system could remember the way and even draw a map.
The further Song Tiantian walked, the larger the map drawn by the system became.
So Song Tiantian wanted to walk a bit further.
Although Song Tiantian couldn’t understand what the girl was saying, she understood the girl’s intention: the girl hoped Song Tiantian wouldn’t go any further.
Song Tiantian didn’t want to go back either. She gestured to the girl, and Song Tiantian didn’t know if the girl understood her meaning.
However, the girl led Song Tiantian to another place.
The girl’s hands were full of traces left by wind and frost, clearly hands that had done a lot of work, completely different from Song Tiantian’s hands.
Song Tiantian followed the girl into a cave full of insects. There were many people with similar appearances to the girl, completely different from Song Tiantian’s appearance. They looked malnourished and like people who often did farm work.
Song Tiantian’s skin was fair and her complexion was rosy.
The people here had sallow complexions, slightly dark skin, and most importantly, were short. This clearly indicated they hadn’t grown tall due to malnutrition.
Although Song Tiantian wore the same clothes as everyone else, her appearance made the difference obvious at a glance.
The girl demonstrated how to catch insects to Song Tiantian, and Song Tiantian quickly learned.
Then she learned how to process the insect corpses, marinating them with something like salt and then drying them to eat.
The people here basically lived by eating these insects.
The system was working hard to learn the local language, striving to learn it as soon as possible and then teach it to Song Tiantian.
Because Song Tiantian had to learn the language and her injuries hadn’t healed yet, she stayed here to work with everyone.
Song Tiantian also followed local customs and tasted the insects. They weren’t bad; they tasted a bit like dry bread, with no flavor, very dry, and tasted unpleasant, but they were very filling.
Song Tiantian had the system test them repeatedly to ensure the insects were not poisonous before she ate them.
The only water source here was the well in the village.
It was evident that water resources were scarce here. People usually didn’t wash their faces or brush their teeth, let alone bathe.
Song Tiantian used to bathe every day on Blue Star. Here, Song Tiantian felt like she was starting to smell, but on second thought, smelling bad might help her ward off some unpleasant gazes.
The villagers here, especially the men, looked at Song Tiantian with unfriendly eyes.
If Song Tiantian’s strength and knife skills weren’t so formidable, intimidating these people, Song Tiantian felt they wouldn’t be so honest and well-behaved.
The system could now roughly understand some of the conversations of these people.
The system would translate what these people said to Song Tiantian.
Song Tiantian didn’t know if the system’s translation was correct, but she didn’t know the correct way to speak now, so she could only listen for the time being.
Firstly, Song Tiantian observed that the people in this village had no pet beasts.
This was because fierce beasts often attacked the village.
Those fierce beasts were completely irrational, driven only by a lust for blood.
Since there was little vegetation here, Song Tiantian didn’t know what these fierce beasts ate, but it was clear that these fierce beasts looked quite disgusting. The supplies here were scarce, and they had already become skilled at dismembering these outwardly disgusting fierce beasts to determine which parts were edible and which were not.
Song Tiantian had been here for about half a month, and the village had already experienced two fierce beast attacks.
Fortunately, their numbers were not large.
The house Song Tiantian was staying in belonged to the girl who brought her food; the girl also had a brother.
The girl’s brother was quite powerful in this village. His aura was strong, and besides the village chief, he was probably the strongest.
The system judged that the girl’s brother’s strength had also reached the realm of a nine-star beast tamer.
The girl’s brother was much taller. Although his complexion was a bit dark, it was evident that his qi and blood were strong; at least he looked like a healthy person.
He was in a completely different league from the malnourished people in the village.
Song Tiantian still didn’t know who had saved her.
But she vaguely sensed that the people in the village had ulterior motives towards her.
This was because they watched her very closely.
They were afraid she would wander too far.
Soon, Song Tiantian understood the reason.
Because several horse carriages and a troop of cavalry arrived outside the village.
Song Tiantian saw fabrics with color. Although she didn’t know what kind of fabric it was, Song Tiantian knew that this fabric was very expensive and had texture.
And these people looked similar to Song Tiantian, with rosy complexions, clearly well-nourished.
