Chapter 895: Chapter 884 Beastman Plane 2

When they reached the river’s edge, they saw some animals drinking water by it.

"These animals look a bit like the deer back on Blue Star, but they’re taller," Xia Yue observed the deer-like animals by the river and commented.

"They do look similar, be careful though, there might be a predator lurking nearby planning to hunt," Yan Mo glanced cautiously at the bushes beside the river.

"Shall we go?" Xia Yue asked.

"Follow me, we don’t need to disturb them for now," Yan Mo said.

"Okay."

Yan Mo led them in a detour around the stretch of river with the herd of deer and then continued along the riverbank.

Along the way, they also encountered some small animals that somewhat resembled rabbits and field mice, which curiously glanced at Xia Yue and her companions.

After walking for half the day and still not seeing any so-called beastmen, Xia Yue and her companions stopped to rest.

"Let’s eat something first, we’ve walked so long, and yet we haven’t seen a single beastman. According to the novels, it’s almost winter; there should be many beastmen out hunting for food to ensure they have enough for the winter," Xia Yue said while eating her noodles with mixed sauce.

"The Tianye Continent is vast, five times the size of Earth, but the population of beastmen combined is only about four hundred million, with over a hundred million living in the Ocean Area," the System explained.

"Are there mermaids here?" Xia Yue asked curiously.

"Mermaid beastmen come in many varieties, including the kind you’re thinking of, but many more are like upper human body with octopus legs," the System gave her a heads up.

"Forget it then, do we still need to help the merfolk of the Ocean Area?" Xia Yue asked curiously.

"Of course, so you will have to make contact with the mermaids of the Ocean Area. The good thing about that area is that they have a unified leader. If you can gain the recognition of that leader, things will be much easier. Similarly, if you can’t obtain his approval, your mission will be difficult," the System said.

"Let’s not think so far ahead for now, we haven’t even encountered the beastmen on land yet, let alone those of the ocean.

Let’s just focus on finding the beastmen on land first," Ziluo spoke firmly after taking a big bite of her fried sauce noodles.

"Yeah, let’s find the land beastmen first," Wei Se agreed.

After eating and resting for a while, they continued along the direction of the river.

Three hours later, just as the sun was about to set, they finally saw a group of more than fifty people wearing fur clothes.

It seemed they were in the middle of a hunt, surrounding a herd of cattle-like animals, except these cattle had three horns.

"Those are the beastmen, be cautious, beastmen are generally xenophobic," the System reminded them softly.

Yan Mo and the others did not approach to greet them immediately, instead, they hid and watched how they hunted.

"Their weapons are quite crude, except for three or four of them holding metal weapons, the rest are made of stone," Wei Se observed their weaponry.

"Primitive beastmen, they probably haven’t learned to forge iron or perhaps iron weapons are expensive here, only a few beastmen have them," Xia Yue said.

"Those cattle look almost as big as elephants, I wonder if they can succeed in hunting them with stone weapons?" Ziluo watched the dozen or so tri-horned cattle being cornered, curiously commenting.

The beastmen were all at least two meters tall, with the tallest being two and a half meters, but compared to the tri-horned cattle, they seemed particularly short and as if they could be easily crushed.
