Pineapple Flavored Beastman Gong (7)

Translated by Hua Li ^_~

The weather quickly transitioned from warm to hot in just a few days. 

The Red Moon season, second only to the White Moon season, was a long season. During this time, there was abundant sunshine, long days, and short nights. Plants thrived, started to bear fruit, and matured.

It was undoubtedly the favorite season of the Beastmen, but also the most active season for the mystical beasts.

The Beastmen didn’t slack off due to the plentiful food; on the contrary, this was the busiest season of the year for them.

For generations, their wisdom taught them to be prepared for the long White Moon season and to not waste a single day. 

Every year during this time, the adult male Beastmen would split into two groups.

One group would go out hunting, often staying away for more than thirty days before returning with a load of mystical beast hides and meat. The other group would stay behind to protect the tribe from mystical beast attacks and also to guard against other tribes trying to steal females, cubs, or food—especially cunning clans like the Swamp Tribe and the aggressive Brule Tribe, who had a history of conflicts with the Wolf Tribe.

But most importantly, they were there to protect the females on the harvest team.

The Red Moon season, the season of harvest, was not just a busy time only for the male Beastmen.

Before the females could start harvesting the bountiful fruits, they needed to undergo pregnancy stone tests one by one.

Sighing, Gou Liang rested his head on the windowsill and watched the slow-moving line.

—These days without Meng Hao, he felt quite lonely.

This was the fourth day of Meng Hao leaving the tribe to harvest Red Salt Fruits. 

In this world, there were no salt deposits, so the Beastmen initially supplemented their salt intake by drinking the fresh blood of mythical beasts. It wasn’t until they discovered the Red Salt Fruits that this situation improved. The shells of the Red Salt Fruits could keep the pulp inside from leaking, and the pulp itself could be used to preserve food for a long time, which was a significant help for surviving the harsh winter.

So, every time the Red Moon season came, the most important task for the females was to harvest Red Salt Fruits.

Besides their private use at home, each family had to hand over a hundred Red Salt Fruits to the tribe as a reserve. After all, once Beastmen reached adulthood, they were on their own, which meant Meng Hao and Meng Hui had to contribute two hundred.

Initially, the tribe considered exempting Meng Hui from this responsibility and providing him with food supplies for disabled Beastmen during the White Moon season. But the Meng brothers not only declined but insisted on handing over a year’s worth of five hundred stones of mythical beast meat.

Before he set out to hunt alone, he decided to complete the Red Salt Fruits mission.

Gou Liang watched as Meng Hao’s figure moved swiftly through the Red Salt Fruit forest, leaving behind a barren path of trees. It seemed he was determined to clear the entire fruit grove before moving on. 

Gou Liang couldn’t see Meng Hao’s majestic appearance in person, and he regretted it once again. He shifted his gaze back to the long line of females.

The Wolf Tribe had a vast territory, and as the first tribe on the Wolf Plains, their population had already exceeded a hundred thousand, which was quite impressive in the low birthrate world of the Beastmen. Even though the birthrate of females to males was as low as one to ten, there were still nearly ten thousand young females eligible for pregnancy. The teams had to be divided into groups and tested in batches; hence the process was quite lengthy.
