Chapter 47: Pooh Bear 2
Pooh woke up, sweating profusely as his mind struggled to comprehend that he was no longer on the ceremonial stone. He had finished his Bloodline fusion.
Pooh was curious about what his new Bloodline did, so he pulled up his status for the Bloodline. Everything that dealt with the system was natural to Pooh, like a toy he had always known was in his room, yet just couldn't find till now.
[Bloodline: Royal Bee (2 star) : The user can identify any common and uncommon grade plant instantly. Rare grade plants gave a 5% chance of being found by the user. All insect type creatures view you as an ally unless you attack them or threaten them.]
Pooh raised his eyebrows at this. One might think that this was a "weak" ability, but one also had to know that with the plants constantly evolving and changing, at least in his area, the hunters were having a tougher and tougher time finding "Safe" herbs and herbivorous food.
This could be said to be a great game changer for his tribe, as this would surely accelerate the tribes growth now that they had someone who could instinctually tell them if something is going to injure, kill, or poison them.
Pooh rushed out of his hut, despite his recovering injuries. Many people saw Pooh come out and start to frantically run towards the boundary of the tribe.
1 of the councilors happened to see this and quickly alerted the others and the chief who were still in a meeting. As soon as they heard that Pooh had woken up from the ceremony and was now making a mad dash for the tribe boundary, the worry that these bear Lycanthrope people experienced was unfathomable.
They all quickly rushed out of the meeting in the direction of where Pooh started to rub. Everyone in the tribe now saw all 10 councilors and the chief running in the direction that Pooh had ran in. Like a wave, a slight panic started to creep in as the other bears started freak out a bit as they thought they may be under attack. n-.o--V-.e--l.)b)/1.(n
While they started to freak out, the chief and the councilors finally caught up to Pooh, who was standing right outside the boundary, staring at a field of tree that had many herbs growing underneath them.
The chief finally got to Poohs back and grabbed his shoulder and said with a little exhaustion in his voice,"What's wrong?! Why did you start running immediately after waking up?? Are we in trouble?!"
Pooh, who had not noticed that someone had followed him in his reverie, looked astonished, then slightly ashamed. He spoke up with,"A-Actually sir, I was just super excited because my bloodline gives me a unique ability and I HAD to confirm immediately if it was true. I would not dare give you a hope for our people without first confirming it!"
The chief was stunned as he asked,"A hope for our people?"
One of the councilors asked as well,"Pooh Bear, what is that you mean?"
Another asked,"What is the so-called "unique ability" you just said?"
They all started to clamor and ask different versions of the same question. Pooh was a little overwhelmed but the chief noticed and so cleared his throat loudly and said,"Gentlebears, calm yourselves. Let the young man speak his mind slowly and calmly so that we do not misunderstand him."
Pooh nodded, thanked the chief respectfully and said,"Yes, my bloodline gives me the unique ability to see and instantly understand most, if not all the information about common and even uncommon plants!"
Everything went quiet at this moment. The chief quickly thought of something and pulled out a box. He then said,"This was an herb that was actually guarded by a powerful beast, can you see what it is?"
Pooh nodded and scanned over it with his eyes. Pooh instantly understood what it was as he looked at it curiously.
Pooh then said slowly,"If I am not wrong, this plant is a type that can create cold."
The chief exclaimed loudly,"CREATES COLD?!?"
Pooh nodded slowly and then said,"If what I see and think is correct, this plant would be great to throw into a small cave so we can keep our hunted kills instead of throwing them away!"
The bear tribe lived in a tundra forest, so their area was cold almost 50% of the year, so they had long figured out that a cold area could keep their meat fresh without spoiling, unlike a majority of the world so far. This was an advantage that they didn't even know they had at the moment.
The chief took a deep breath and replied,"Ok, this is already pretty huge for our tribe! Wait, Gonzo! What about that fruit that you picked the other day?! Didn't you say you snatched it from under the nose of a powerful beast?"
One of the councilors, Gonzo, had his face light up at this mention and he instantly ran back and grabbed the fruit. After a few minutes, he ran back up, panting, and asked,"Please, can you tell me if this is good and what it can do?"
Pooh looked it over and thought for a moment and said,"Congratulations, sir, this is actually a baby fruit."
Gonzo was clueless on what that could mean and so he asked,"What does that mean?"
Pooh chuckled and responded,"If it was me I would call this fruit "Arousal Apple". It spikes the user's baby-making thoughts and can guarantee a child! Though the drawback is that the fruit apparently only works once per user."
Gonzo, who was well known to have trouble conceiving a child with his partner, now had a surefire way! It was a heaven sent opportunity!
Gonzo said meaningfully to Pooh,"Thank you, I will not forget this debt.."
Pooh smiled and replied,"Ah.. it's not a big deal.."
