"Mother, the way you're looking at them is strange."

"...Ahem, they're just too cute."

CatDodo wiped his mouth and, with Chief Pla's permission, tried to touch the peacock chicks.

These adorable peacock chicks are quite agile and cute, unaware of what Maoduo was thinking just now, chattering away noisily.

Plato smiled and offered, "These are the babies that hatched recently. You saved my cubs; you are our tribe's benefactors. Please name them."

Almost as soon as he spoke, several more adult orcs came over, looking at him expectantly and demonstrating through their actions that they were the parents of the cubs.

CatDodo felt a little embarrassed, suddenly realizing that she was out of place among these orcs. She was at a loss for words because of what they were doing.

She tried to politely decline, but since they were their own kittens, she felt that names like that were more suitable for them to choose themselves.

To everyone's surprise, these adult beastmen were also very enthusiastic, hoping that CatDodo could help them come up with a name.

"...Um, I really don't know how, you guys have fun."

CatDodo tried again and even managed to shake them off. Then, like the other orcs, she ate and drank, enjoying a pleasant and wonderful time.

Then came the chirping sounds from the surrounding area. Upon closer inspection, CatDodo discovered that the peacock chicks were happily pecking at the sweets.

Snake One and the others were also excitedly holding their food, chatting casually with the peacock cubs.

"Hey, do you guys also like to eat this white fruit? I like it too! It's sweet, but the key is that it's not cloying, and it's very thirst-quenching and refreshing."

"I see. Eating a lot of these kinds of fruits can make you grow faster and better. I understand."

CatDodo was both amused and exasperated. Turning her head, she saw Gal eating barbecue not far away. She went over and asked him to eat while they talked.

The main reason for this is to thank Gal for risking his life to protect her and her child. If it weren't for Gal's desperate help, she probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until the truth came out.

As for how the culprit was dealt with by the Peacock Clan, CatDodo didn't seem inclined to ask further...

“Protecting you is what I should do,” Gal said, enunciating each word clearly.

Although the other person didn't say much, Maoduo always felt that the other person was making a heartfelt promise.

She was feeling a little awkward when, just then, a chattering sound broke out. The little peacocks stared longingly at the meat that was already roasted in her hand, their desire obvious.

"Alright, just so you know, these are things you need to chew properly."

Cat Duoduo cut the roasted meat into small pieces and fed them one by one. The peacock chicks were so excited that they almost jumped up.

Snake One and the others stared in disbelief, while Cat Duoduo stroked his chin thoughtfully, wondering why these peacock cubs had such good appetites.

After reconciling, the Peacock Clan seemed to want to make amends to Cat Duoduo and his group, and in the following days they treated Cat Duoduo even better.

She was so good that even calling her cat Duoduo couldn't stand it... In the end, she packed her bags and said goodbye to Plato.

Plato was reluctant to part with her, mainly because in just a few days, this foreign female cat, Dodo, had already taught him some rather interesting survival skills and techniques.

The peacocks did provide food and drink, and Maoduoduo reciprocated by using technology to repay them.

Weaving hemp rope, bamboo weaving, flatbed carts, wheels, and tricycles...

Although there were some techniques that their tribe had not yet fully mastered, they still gained a lot and felt even more that they hadn't treated Cat Duoduo and his group well enough.

After some effort, Maoduo and the others left this place, leading everyone northward.

Further north, the forest density decreases, and the scenery along the way is different from what we've seen before.

This was the first time that Maoduo had seen the world so clearly. At the same time, he was also grateful that there was Gal, an adult male beastman, by their side, which prevented them from easily falling into dangerous traps.

In the outside world, it is very difficult for a lone orc to survive. Countless dangers come from nature and human society, which truly bring a lot of challenges to everyone.

As Snake and the others continued their northward journey, their once tender and adorable faces inevitably began to show signs of growth...

As they waited for this day to leave the forest and enter another section of the road, Gal's expression changed. "Oh no, we need to find a cave to hide in."

"good."

Cat Dodo knew that the other party was definitely not making baseless accusations, so she and the snake cubs quickly searched and soon found a cave on a nearby cliff.

Almost as soon as they entered, the sound of running footsteps rose and fell like the footsteps of colossal giants from ancient times, creating an extremely noisy and chaotic scene. Cat Duoduo carefully carried Snake Yi and a few others, hiding them discreetly in the cave, peeking out from a small opening.

Gal remained calm and protected them silently, his gaze involuntarily falling on the surging beast tide outside.

“It’s a small beast tide…” he murmured.

Upon hearing this, Mao Duoduo felt a pang of anxiety; even the small beast tide had such a scale and momentum.

Fortunately, they managed to dodge in time; if they had been a few steps slower, they would definitely have died under the horde of small beasts.

The extent and danger of a beast tide are simply determined by its scale. Even a small beast tide poses a significant threat to the outside world because it is filled with out-of-control orcs and wild beasts.

Even the orcs, who claim to be the most powerful, cannot easily escape unscathed when faced with a beast horde...

If you think about it carefully, this is the first time CatDodo has ever encountered a beast tide.

The original owner lived under the protection of the village and never encountered a beast tide.

The deafening roar sent dust flying and countless trees collapsing, creating an overwhelming sense of destruction. The snake cubs instinctively covered their ears.

Even with their mother, Dodo, protecting them, they still instinctively felt fear, realizing the terrifying nature of the beast tide...

Fortunately, the size of the small beast tide was still limited.

Three hours later, the horde of small beasts finally passed. Cat Duoduo breathed a sigh of relief and led Snake Yi and a few others outside to look at the sky.

They must find another place with water and safe shelter before it gets dark.

“I can smell something ahead; that’s where we’ll find the food and water we need.”

After making a certain judgment based on his excellent sense of smell, Gal gave the snakes a few warning signs.

They had been forced to leave their tricycle there to avoid the horde of small beasts, and now, sure enough, it had been trampled to pieces by the beasts.
