The dusk was like a veil, gently covering this mysterious continent. Mottled light and shadows shone through the dense branches and leaves, and sprinkled on Yu Mumu and Yu Li.

Yu Mumu squatted on the ground, watching Yu Li's slender fingers casually fiddling with the coarse salt grains in front of him.

Suddenly, he raised his head abruptly, as if he had made up his mind, and looked straight at Yu Li with his dark eyes. He said in a low voice with a hint of imperceptible temptation: "Do you like this salt very much?"

Yu Li was stunned by this sudden question. His mind instantly flashed back to the faces of the orcs in the tribe who were becoming increasingly tired due to lack of salt, and their bodies that were becoming increasingly weak due to hard work.

He nodded subconsciously, his voice unconsciously carrying a hint of emotion:

"You don't know, kid, that salt is vital to the development of a tribe. With salt, the beastmen will have more energy when working; when injured, salt water can also help wounds heal. But usually, the salt is kept strictly by the priest, and the tribesmen can only get a few grains of it each time. It is really too precious."

Yu Mumu stared at Yu Li, his eyes lingering on his resolute face for a long time. After confirming that his love for salt was not false, he slowly spoke: "This fat rabbit said that it knows where there are a lot of these salty stones."

Upon hearing this, Yu Li's originally calm expression instantly became serious. A sharp light flashed in his deep eyes. His gaze shot sharply at the trembling bunny beast beside him. The invisible sense of oppression came over him like a surging wave.

Bunnymon was frightened by the look and trembled all over. Its round body shrank back involuntarily, and its long ears drooped weakly, looking terrified.

"Do you know where the salt is?" Yu Li's voice was low and powerful, as if it was wrapped in endless majesty, making people irresistible.

"Chirp!" The rabbit beast screamed, the sound was sharp and rapid, echoing in the quiet air. Yu Li listened to this series of incomprehensible screams, his face was full of black lines, and he was completely confused.

He turned his head to look at Yu Mumu in confusion, and Yu Mumu immediately understood what he meant and translated considerately: "It said it can take us there, but we have to protect it."

At the end of the conversation, the cub's expression was a little strange, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile, "It also said that as a condition, we can't lock it and its pets up in the future. We have to take good care of them and not eat them anymore."

Hearing this, Yu Li did not think that the conditions proposed by Rabbit Beast were excessive. What really surprised him was that Yu Mumu, this little cub, could actually understand Rabbit Beast's language.

His thoughts involuntarily drifted to the scene earlier today when the porcupines docilely crouched in front of the cubs, and an indescribable wonderful feeling came over him. There must be a way of communication between the cubs and these animals that he didn't know about.

Yu Li didn't think there was anything wrong with the little cub's peculiarities.

In this world full of challenges where the strong prey on the weak, one more skill means one more guarantee of survival and allows the cubs to live better.

Although the little cub, as the messenger of the Beast God, may not rely on these skills, as long as he is alive, he will do his best to protect this child.

This thought had nothing to do with the little cub's identity as a messenger of God, nor his special skills. It was simply out of the purest emotion in his heart. He just wanted to be good to this little cub, without any reason and without reservation.

Yu Li still had some words in his mind, but he was too embarrassed to say them out loud. He had never had a partner, nor had he actively sought one, but when he saw the little cub, there was always a different feeling growing quietly in his heart. He always felt that the little cub should be his cub, and this feeling was strong and certain.

Recalling the dark days when I was ruthlessly betrayed and driven out by the Tiger Tribe and forced to fend for myself,

A trace of pain flashed across Yu Li's eyes. From then on, he made up his mind never to return to the tiger tribe that hurt him so deeply.

As for going to other tribes, in his opinion, it was just a change from one cage to another. If the old chief had not raised him, how could he silently endure the exclusion in the tiger tribe and do those thankless tasks? Now that he has escaped, he no longer wants to be an orc who is at the mercy of others.

Now, he has his own name and a new goal. He wants to build a new tribe with his cub. And salt will undoubtedly be an important material that is indispensable for the development and growth of this new tribe.

"Yes, as long as you can lead me to find salt, you rabbit beasts will be respected friends in our future tribe. I can assure you that anyone in my tribe in the future will not include you on the list of food." Yu Li's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the air.

"Chirp!" The bunny beasts were simple-minded, and when they heard Yu Li agreed, they hugged each other excitedly. One of the bunny beasts was a little too fat, and because of its violent movement, its back hit the ground heavily, and it rolled twice like a furry ball, and then climbed up in a naive manner, happily circling around its companions.

"They said they'd take us to find the salty rocks anytime, as long as we kept our promise," the cub translated with a smile.

"Don't worry, I, Yu Li, will never go back on my word. I can swear to the Beast God!" Yu Li's voice was loud and clear, and his expression was solemn and serious.

As soon as these words came out, the bunny beasts looked at Yu Li in surprise. On this continent, both beastmen and beasts devoutly believed in the same god. Swearing in the name of the beast god was undoubtedly the most solemn and binding promise. Since Yu Li had already brought out the beast god, the bunny beasts naturally had no doubts and completely believed in the trust.

After discussing with Yu Mumu and the others, the rabbit beast decided to follow them to find the location of the salt early tomorrow morning. According to the description of the rabbit beasts, the location of the mountain was extremely hidden, and few beastmen would go there alone, so it should not have been discovered yet. In order to avoid any more trouble, everyone unanimously decided to set off as soon as possible, just in case.

The night gradually deepened, and the stars twinkled in the night sky.

"Do you need me to transform into a beast to coax you to sleep tonight?" Yu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at the little cub.

"I can do it myself, huh." The little cub dragged his quilt and lay on the bed.

Isn't it just that Mumu is too clingy! Mumu can sleep by himself. Yu Li looked at the little cub with his back to him and found it a little funny. He didn't know what kind of environment had cultivated the little cub to be so vigilant about everything.

He just didn't dare to ask for anything, he didn't dare to demand anything, he wrapped himself up tightly, curled up into a small ball, as if no one could hurt him this way,
