Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 168 - 124: The Arrogant and Untamable Tiger Shark Beastman (Part 3)
His thin lips brushed past her ear as he spoke meaningfully.
"Then how about we start trying now?"
「The dead of night soon gave way to the first ray of dawn.」
Upon the deep blue, rippling sea, pairs of cold, eerie eyes emerged. They were densely packed, bobbing up and down with the waves.
They had swum day and night from the turbulent sea, finally reaching the continent’s frozen rivers.
BOOM! CRACK! The thick ice was completely shattered, and one by one, colorful heads popped out of the water.
Leading them was a handsome, blue-haired Merfolk.
They all surged toward a specific point on the land like a tidal wave.
On the city wall, An Jin was on patrol with Ling Hong and several other Beastmen when she saw a dense cluster of dots rapidly approaching in the distance. "Huh? Are those Beastmen?"
She gripped the ramparts, her body leaning forward instinctively as she squinted. The wall was about ten meters high—a fall would turn her into meat paste. Ling Hong pulled her back slightly. "Be careful." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
He followed her gaze. A Beastman’s vision was much sharper. "...They look so strange. They don’t seem to be ordinary Beastmen."
During the desolate cold season, the city usually only saw a few people pass through in a day.
On a good day, maybe a dozen.
’But that group in the distance looks to be at least several hundred. Could a large nearby tribe have been destroyed by a beast tide and are now fleeing?’
As the crowd drew closer, An Jin finally saw them clearly. Weren’t those three-to-four-meter-tall creatures, writhing frantically on the ground with eight vine-like tentacles, just giant octopuses?
And that big rock covered in seaweed and rubble... no, wait, was that a sea turtle?!
There were also all sorts of other bizarre creatures that An Jin couldn’t even name.
Half of them were even running at high speed while carrying heavy, enormous shells.
’I’ve never seen this kind of beast tide before.’
Then, the giant octopuses transformed into several bald Beastmen with pink heads, followed by stooped, shell-backed sea turtle Beastmen, crab Beastmen with massive arms, and tall, slender lobster Beastmen with bluish skin...
The only one among them who was conventionally handsome was a Merfolk with a thick, beautiful mane of sea-blue hair and aquamarine vertical pupils that resembled jade.
Xi waved urgently toward the gate. "Ah Jin, open the gate! These are all Water Beastmen refugees!"
An Jin signaled for the Beastmen to open the city gate.
RUMBLE RUMBLE. As the several-meter-high stone gate was lowered, it flattened a large area of snow on the ground.
As if they had found a new sanctuary, the Water Beastmen pushed and shoved frantically, flooding inside all at once.
Half the cold season had already passed, and Xi had only just returned. This was nearly two months later than he had promised; he must have run into a crisis.
She handed him a bowl of water, her gaze sweeping over his scarred body. "What happened? You’re injured."
Only then did she turn her attention to the group of wary Water Beastmen.
Xi felt a surge of joy at the female’s concern, but with urgent matters at hand, he had no time to act spoiled or complain. "I didn’t expect the beast tide in the sea to be so severe. Many of the large tribes in the sea were destroyed."
"I’m one of the lucky ones. These Beastmen seeking refuge are all injured to some degree."
"Our Water Beastmen don’t have very good self-healing abilities. Please, have the Witch Doctor take a look at them." Xi took the bowl and downed it in one gulp, wetting his parched throat.
An Jin had, of course, also noticed the lingering bloodstains on many of the Beastmen. She nodded and called for a Beastman to go to the wooden house to find Chi Li.
Their blood was a peculiar light pink, very close to their skin color, making it hard to spot at a glance.
The most severely injured among them was a Beastman with blue-gray hair. His expression was cold and grim, the corner of his mouth split in a vicious snarl that half-revealed a row of sharp teeth.
His entire body was covered in wounds. Faint, semi-devolved, long, angular stripes were visible all over him, like a natural racial totem.
An Jin’s mind immediately jumped to a ferocious deep-sea predator.
—The Tiger Shark.
Moreover, he was a Sixth Rank Beastman, an incredibly powerful existence in the Beast World. But he looked extremely arrogant and untamable, and he bore no mate mark.
An Jin couldn’t help but be wary. ’A dangerous Beastman like him isn’t suitable to be accepted into the tribe.’
Chi Li quickly arrived with Hua Ye and two other Beastmen to treat the Water Beastmen.
Hua Ye happened to be assigned to treat the Tiger Shark Beastman.
Before she could even get close, he unexpectedly shoved her away forcefully. Hua Ye fell and was covered in mud.
He said coldly, "I don’t want a female treating me. Get me someone else. Don’t tell me your tribe lets useless females be Witch Doctors?"
The expressions of those around them turned sour. This Beastman was truly arrogant and unreasonable to treat a delicate female that way.
But intimidated by his power, no one dared to step forward.
Hua Ye was indignant. She scrambled up from the ground on her own before a nearby Beastman could help her, wiping the mud from her face with tears glinting in her eyes. "Females are not useless! I’ve treated several Beastmen before! What gives you the right to refuse my treatment!"
Shalv’s expression flickered; he seemed surprised that this weak, useless female actually dared to talk back to him.
But the next moment, when he saw the faded, broken beast tattoo on her arm, his face grew even colder. "Useless is useless. You’re just a thing that relies on males."
"What, did you use that face and body of yours to find a stronger male and abandon your other ones?"
