...Chapter 230 Primitive Beast World Cubs 5
A desperate, homeless wolf cub encountered a ray of light in the darkness, meeting a woman who claimed to be his mother. He was still a child and didn't have many opinions of his own.
All he knew was that someone was willing to take him in, and he no longer had to worry about where to go.
"Okay, you can try it."
Shen Ci placed the grilled fish in front of him. The aroma emanating from the cooked food was incredibly tempting—not cold or bloody, but fragrant and warm.
The little wolf cub Cangye couldn't help but swallow. It smelled so good! He had never smelled this kind of scent before. It was strange, but it smelled very pleasant.
Could it be true that she is my biological mother, which is why I have a part of her bloodline and cannot eat the same food as other people in my tribe?
"Eat it, this shouldn't hurt your stomach."
"Your constitution is special; you can't digest raw food. I'll teach you how to cook food with fire later."
Shen Ci shoved the fish into his mouth, and the little wolf cub was about to refuse when a big mouthful of delicious food blocked his mouth! The aroma instantly filled his mouth.
Hot, warm, and soft—this taste was so unfamiliar and strange! The little wolf cub wanted to refuse, but instinct made him open his mouth and take a bite, taking the grilled fish from Chen Ci's hand.
He ate heartily, and the hot food made his hungry stomach feel comfortable and warm.
In the past, the wolf clan also ate fish, but it was wet and dripping with water, and had layers of slippery and hard scales on the outside. He thought it didn't taste good and had a strong fishy smell.
What smells delicious to other wolves makes him nauseous, and he can't eat a single bite. If he tries to eat it, he'll get diarrhea.
One grilled fish was nothing to the little wolf cub who was still growing; he wasn't full at all. He stared longingly at the grilled fish in Shen Ci's hand, his mouth watering.
From birth until now, the only hot thing Cangye has ever eaten is milk, and of course, this grilled fish.
He didn't understand what fire or cooked food was, but he knew that the food the female gave him made him feel very comfortable; it was a very primal, instinctive feeling.
"Not full?"
Here's another tip: after catching the fish, you need to scrape off its scales, gut it, and take out the dirty parts inside. Then, you can roast it over a fire until it changes color and you can smell the aroma.
Do it like I do.
Shen Ci gave him a skewer of grilled fish and invited him to come along. It would be good for him to have more survival skills so that the little wolf cub could grill fish for him later.
"fire?"
After his stomach was slightly full, the wolf cub was able to speak again, unlike before when he was so hungry that he couldn't even talk. He had made sure that the surrounding environment was safe and that the female in front of him would not harm him.
"Haven't you ever seen fire?"
"Don't you have a fire here?"
Shen Ci asked, and the little wolf cub shook his head blankly. He had never seen this thing before. It could glow, generate heat, and make food taste delicious.
"What will you do if you get cold?"
The little wolf cub looked up and thought for a moment. He had no idea how adorable he looked as he stared at his head, his fluffy little ears twitching.
"If it gets cold, we can stay in the cave and sleep together to keep warm."
The wolf cub answered naturally that this was all the experience he had gained growing up, and besides, they had fur on their bodies and lived in caves, so they didn't feel cold.
Shen Ci was taken aback. There was no fire in this place? The people living here were beastmen who ate raw food and lived a primitive life, equivalent to a primitive society. They had not yet discovered fire.
Of course, they won't have any problems eating raw food.
"This thing is fire. It can cook food. Cooked food is less likely to make you sick because there are insects in the food that we can't see. Fire can kill these insects."
Fire can bring warmth and light, but if used improperly, it can harm you. Never touch fire directly, or you will get burned.
We can't litter either, or it will burn down the whole forest.
She warned the children not to play with fire, as the vegetation here is so abundant that if it catches fire, a large part of it will be burned down, and there will be fuel everywhere.
The little wolf cub understood and nodded seriously. He looked young, but he was a wolf cub after all, with a wolfish nature. He looked like a cocky human child, but the two beasts added to his cuteness.
The little wolf cub imitated Shen Ci's grilling of fish. He had never eaten anything so delicious before, but after being hungry for so long, his appetite wasn't that big. After eating six grilled fish, he finally said he wouldn't eat anymore.
Looking at the grilled fish that was more than half gone, Shen Ci thought to herself, "I've raised a glutton!" Luckily, the system had a double rebate function, otherwise she would be searching for food all day long.
A half-grown boy, eating his father out of house and home.
Looking at the food she felt she already had enough, Shen Ci felt a sense of crisis, wondering how much she would need to eat when she grew up.
After eating and drinking his fill, the wolf cub completely trusted the female in front of him as his mother. Otherwise, how would she know his name and what he could eat?
In the past, he would vomit and feel terrible every time he finished eating the meat given to him by the tribe. This time he didn't. She gave him something to eat because they shared the same bloodline.
Most beastmen are simple-minded and don't have many thoughts, let alone a little cub like this.
After turning over in the grass, the little wolf cub trusted Shen Ci and fell asleep next to her. There was a fire in the cave, and the residual warmth comforted them. Their mother was beside them, and she smelled of food and felt warm.
Shen Ci held the little wolf cub in her arms all night. It was so soft and she could touch its ears anytime. It was just like raising a kitten. It was so cute!
"Ding-dong!"
Mission accomplished!
Having achieved basic food and clothing security and provided a home for the cubs, Cangye's rescue value increases by 10%!
Reward: Marrow Cleansing Pill.
After Cangye fell asleep, the system notification sounded. The Marrow Cleansing Pill was used to improve the physique of beastmen. Cangye was thin and weak, the kind of person who would be abandoned by the tribe.
With the Marrow Cleansing Pill, he can grow stronger, so why not use it on himself?
Since there is only one Marrow Cleansing Pill, using it on oneself would definitely not be as effective as using it on an orc. Orcs have a bloodline advantage, and this continent has always been the domain of orcs.
The frail Cangye will certainly not have an easy time growing up on this continent.
And as long as he tames the cubs, he will essentially possess these powerful abilities.
A peaceful night.
The next day, the wolf cub slept for a long time. When he suddenly woke up, he got up and found himself in an unfamiliar place!
But then he suddenly remembered that he had found his mother yesterday! Where was his mother?! Why wasn't she at home?!
