106: pulley system

"Is she really a Female from the High Mountain Fire Red Eagle Tribe?"

"The last Female of the High Mountain Fire Red Eagle Tribe?"

A colorful Female of the Parrot Tribe flew nearby, sizing up Nan Zhisui.

"Fire Chi Eagle Female, why don't you transform into your bird form for me to see?"

Nan Zhisui: "..."

Chi Xiao wasn't by her side, so she couldn't channel her Moon Attraction Starlight Supernatural Ability and couldn't transform.

She sluggishly hid behind Han Feng, refusing to interact with these Females to avoid exposing herself.

Han Feng noticed the beautiful Little Female leaning on him, and his heart actually began to thud.

A High Mountain Fire Red Eagle, the same race as his brother, a Female of a rare race... had she taken a liking to him?

If she had, it wasn't out of the question.

Han Feng's ears turned slightly red as he stood in front of Nan Zhisui and said, "It's the Little Female's first time in the tribe. Everyone, don't scare her."

A plump, brown Eagle Beastman Female landed on a branch. Eagle Dream said coldly, "Han Feng, you're certainly protective of her. What, do you like her?"

Han Feng said with a strange expression, "Don't talk nonsense."

Eagle Dream's expression worsened.

In this world, Females were scarce and Males were numerous. Females could form contracts with and control Males. Thus, countless Males would chase after Females for the sake of reproduction.

However, it was also normal for Females to pursue powerful Males.

However, powerful Males, especially Male Beastmen with the strength of a four-mark Beast General or above, often refused to form a bond because they were unwilling to lose their freedom to a Female's control.

Eagle Dream was one of the few Eagle Beastman Females in the tribe, and she was slightly plump. In beastman tribes, being plump was also considered beautiful, so many Males in the tribe were willing to follow her and become her beast husbands.

She already had eight bird beast husbands.

It was said that Eagle Dream's goal had always been Chi Xiao, the Lord of the Eastern High Mountains territory. When she was young, she hadn't even taken a single beast husband, constantly pestering Chi Xiao, who was then the tribe's number one warrior.

But Chi Xiao had never accepted her invitation to bond.

Until one day, when Chi Xiao returned heavily injured, he had actually already been contracted, and he was even holding a bird egg in his hands.

That very night, Eagle Dream suffered a great blow and contracted five Bird Beastmen Males at once.

She had given up on Chi Xiao, but she hadn't given up on the tribe's second-ranking warrior, Han Feng, Chi Xiao's half-brother.

The tribe's second warrior, Han Feng, was also pursued by many Females, but he only cared about becoming stronger. His attention was entirely focused on surpassing his brother, so he had never thought about bonding.

In the distance, He Xian flew over with Huo Jun on his back, and they stood in a corner that wasn't too conspicuous.

He Xian was softly explaining the situation to Huo Jun. "Young Master, this Female seems to be of the same race as you, both from the Fire Chi Eagle tribe. It looks like Eagle Dream wants to cause trouble for her."

Six-year-old Huo Jun nodded slightly, listening carefully to the movements nearby.

This was also Nan Zhisui's first time at the Bird Beastman Tribe. While the other beastmen were sizing her up, she was also cautiously observing the Bird Beastmen here.

This Eagle Beastman Female seemed to have ill intentions.

Hiding her jealousy, Eagle Dream said, "Actually, it's very simple to verify if the Female before us is from the High Mountain Fire Red Eagle tribe. The High Mountain Fire Red Eagle tribe is naturally skilled in combat and possesses great strength."

"As long as this outsider Female beastman can move this stone from the ground up into the tree, I will acknowledge her."

The stone on the ground wasn't exactly huge, but it wasn't small either.

Just picking it up would take some effort. To move it into the tree, only a Bird Beastman with great strength could do it.

The Bird Beastmen whispered among themselves and began to discuss.

"Indeed, just like our Lord, he is a natural strongman."

"As a Fire Chi Eagle Female, this stone shouldn't be too difficult for her, right?"

"As long as she can do as Eagle Dream says and move the stone from the ground to the tree, then she is a member of the Fire Chi Eagle tribe!"

He Xian was also softly explaining to Huo Jun nearby.

Huo Jun asked quietly, "Is that stone big?"

He Xian said, "To your Father Beast, it's certainly just a small stone, but for a Female, it might not be. Moreover, I heard she can't fly, so asking her to move the stone from the ground to the tree is indeed a bit demanding for a beastman."

Huo Jun nodded and continued to watch.

Han Feng's brow furrowed. Just as he was thinking about whether to speak up for Nan Zhisui, she stepped forward. "Is it enough just to get the stone into the tree? Any method is fine?"

Seeing her take the bait, Eagle Dream smiled and nodded. "Yes."

She heard this Female couldn't fly.

To have her move a stone from the ground to a tree—one could imagine that no matter how beautiful a Female was, she would look unsightly doing such a thing.

What if she fell? What if she made a fool of herself?

Then Han Feng wouldn't like her anymore.

The more Eagle Dream thought about it, the happier she became. She nodded. "Little Female, I heard you have wings but can't fly, so I won't make it too hard for you. As long as you move the stone up, whether you fly or climb, we'll accept it."

Nan Zhisui said, "Fine, but I need some time."

"It's fine, we can all wait," Eagle Dream said.

Not just Eagle Dream, but the other beastmen also said curiously, "Yes, no rush, we can wait."

Nan Zhisui asked Han Feng in a low voice, "Can you help me?"

Han Feng nodded. "I can."

Eagle Dream's face darkened, and she said loudly, "This test must be completed by you alone. You can't have a Male help you carry it."

Nan Zhisui said, "I'm not asking him to help carry it, but I need some tools and need him to get them. This doesn't violate the rules, does it?"

The Bird Beastmen all shook their heads; it didn't violate them.

Nan Zhisui nodded and leaned close to Han Feng's ear, whispering something. Han Feng nodded and quickly flew away with a flutter.

Nan Zhisui sat silently on a branch waiting, and all the beastmen were also waiting curiously.

"How is she going to move such a large stone up here?"

"I heard she can't even fly."

"She seems quite confident."

"I'm a bit excited to see what she'll do."

Before long, Han Feng returned with many sturdy tree trunks and vines.

Nan Zhisui took the branches and vines and sat on a trunk, discarding those of poor quality.

She selected the strongest vines and trunks and began to make something.

All the beastmen looked at Nan Zhisui curiously.

"What is she doing?"

"How interesting, her hands are very nimble. She seems to be making something."

"I'm really curious."

Eagle Dream asked, "You aren't just stalling for time, are you?"

Nan Zhisui looked up at her, then lowered her head to continue her work.

"You'll know if you wait a bit longer. Why be so impatient?"

She threaded one piece of wood after another with vines and, after smoothing them down, tied them to the tree trunk.

Some were movable—movable pulleys.

Some were fixed—fixed pulleys.

Nan Zhisui used the wood and vines to create a simple pulley System, then threaded the longest and strongest vine through the pulleys and lowered the vine down.

"Han Feng, take me down."

Han Feng nodded. "Okay."

Although the Strongman Ability given by the System was useless—it was just a tube of potion that would gradually lose its effect!

But so what?

Having studied for so many years and learned so much knowledge, there would always be a day it could be put to use!

Nan Zhisui went down to the base of the tree, tied one end of the vine securely around the large stone, and tested the tightness.

Then, she grabbed the other end of the vine and pulled hard.

The pulley System went to work.

The huge stone was actually pulled up by her with such magical ease!
