Chapter 259 Primitive Beast World Cubs 33

The house has been incredibly lively these past few days.

Every day at the crack of dawn, the coop would be filled with the clucking of chickens, followed by the mooing of cows and the bleating of sheep, a sound that never stopped throughout the day.

Our house has become like a zoo. At first, all the animals that were captured would fight back fiercely.

But after being raised for a while, these animals will find that resistance is futile. Animals are similar to humans; they are naturally lazy.

Once you get used to that kind of life where you're waited on hand and foot, it's hard to go back to the past.

Every day they wake up to find food and water, eat their fill, sleep, and reproduce. They have no natural enemies and live a peaceful and comfortable life.

After a few days, the animals' resistance weakened.

About a week later, the animals were basically tamed. When they saw Shen Ci and Cangye bringing food, they would run to the door to wait.

Practice makes perfect. After being kept in captivity for a long time, you realize there's no hope of escape, so you can only accept it.

These animals are ordinary, uncivilized creatures, unlike beastmen, so capturing and using them is no problem at all.

Just like people in modern society need to eat pork, beef, chicken, duck, and fish.

Survival of the fittest.

"Ding-dong!"

Long-term task triggered!

Raise the wolf cub Cangye safely to adulthood, age: 2.

Task Rewards:

Salvage value +15%.

Territory cornerstones allow you to mark your territory on the map.

His linguistic talent allowed him to communicate seamlessly with the orcs across the entire continent.

The system suddenly and unexpectedly issued a large task, which was also a long-term task, and the reward for this task was not a physical reward.

Future development can often be predicted through rewards. A territory is a cornerstone, meaning she can have her own territory, just like wolves or snakes.

These animals mark their territories by using scent to alert other animals to the danger and prevent them from easily offending them.

Therefore, she speculated that this territorial cornerstone was similar to an animal's scent, marking its territory.

What she sees as a cornerstone, may be perceived as a mere scent by other animals after its use.

This means they want to grow bigger and stronger, and become the king of the mountain!

As for language talent, that's quite obvious.

This continent has both orcs and ordinary animals. This language talent is definitely not for communicating with ordinary animals, otherwise how will they eat meat and tame animals in the future?

She can just keep all the animals as pets.

Therefore, this language talent must be useful for communicating with orc races, such as wolves and snakes. Although they are orcs, in addition to speaking human language, they should also be able to speak their own race's language.

As for why the little wolf cub spoke in a way she could understand right away, Shen Ci didn't understand either.

Maybe only orcs and werewolves would say that; what if other races wouldn't?

In short, the system will never give you anything you don't need or that is useless.

This long-term mission requires protecting wolf cubs until they are two years old, which is roughly the age when wolves reach adulthood.

When wolves reach adulthood depends on their geographical distribution and whether they are free-range or captive.

Wolves raised in captivity mature a little earlier than wild wolves raised in free-range conditions, but this difference is negligible, occurring only a few months later.

How do you tell if a wolf has reached adulthood? Generally, according to the human world, it's determined by whether the wolf has entered its estrus cycle. Male wolves typically experience their first estrus around the age of two.

How old is the little wolf cub now?

"Cang Ye, how many times have you seen snow, how many winters have you experienced?"

She asked, "The little wolf cub probably doesn't understand what a year is, or whether these beastmen have any concept of years, months, and days. After all, time itself doesn't exist; it's a term created by humans."

"once.

Last winter, snowflakes fell from the sky.

Cangye said without hesitation that it was the first time in his life he had ever known winter, the first time he had ever known how cold winter was, and the first time he had ever known that such icy flowers would fall from the sky.

He didn't know what a year was, but he knew that during that cold season, he was bullied so much that he couldn't stay in the cave and had to stay alone in the snow for a very long time.

It wasn't until the other wolves in the pack came out to search that they found him frozen in the snow.

He is a wolf, so he can stay in the wolf pack's territory, but the law of the jungle prevails, and within the wolf pack, strength is highly valued. If he is bullied, no one will protect him.

If he survives, then he's incredibly lucky; if he doesn't, then it's his own fault.

No wolf will grieve for the death of a cub that is not its own.

And then, are they cold-blooded animals? He thought so. They might also develop feelings for their offspring, especially since they were beastmen, not pure beasts.

But no one develops feelings for him.

Besides his mother, he was her cub!

I've only seen him for one winter, which means he's just over a year old. So, is the wolf cub about to grow up? Become an adult wolf?

That means we can indeed expand our territory.

Before that, you need to protect the cubs' safety, provide them with sufficient nutrition, and ensure that they can grow up safely and healthily!

What else is there to say? Let's get to work!

The plains are relatively safe, just enough to survive the winter. All you need to do is store plenty of food and firewood. Without enough firewood, winter can be very difficult.

In ancient times, many poor people froze to death because they lacked firewood; winter was a deadly time for ordinary people.

After two weeks, or more than ten days, the composting was almost complete, and new farmyard manure was being piled on top every day.

Nowadays, there are all sorts of farmyard manure at home, including chicken, cow, and sheep manure, especially cow manure, which produces a huge amount when it's excreted.

After more than ten days of fermentation, the pile of fertilizer became dark and thick.

That's about it!

Shen Ci and Cangye each held a wooden shovel, modeled after an iron shovel in style and size, but the wood was thicker, making it less refined.

But as long as it can hold things, that's fine.

"Now your mother is going to teach you the most important thing on the path of evolution."

That is farming.

Once you learn how to farm, you can grow crops as long as there is soil, and you can be self-sufficient no matter where you are thrown.

Today we're planting potatoes.

The first step is to dig a hole. I'll use a hoe, and you'll use a shovel. You dig exactly the same way I do, in whatever shape I want to create.

Shen Ci said, demonstrating by digging a triangular hole in the ground using the corner of a hoe, which makes it easy to dig.

As for why it was dug like that, Shen Ci didn't know. She had only farmed with her grandparents when she was little, so she knew how to do it.

It's just a skill passed down from generation to generation, and now she's going to pass it on to her cub.
