But its location is excellent; a ten-minute walk ahead leads to a forest, and a ten-minute walk to the left leads to a desert, placing it perfectly in the middle.

The females were utterly disgusted by the cave; the smell was awful, nauseating, and clearly belonged to stray animals that didn't care about cleanliness.

Because of the time constraints, the cleaning was rushed, and not all the dirt was removed; some residue remained.

The females began to complain about the males.

"It stinks, let's find somewhere else to stay."

"It's better to live in the wild; this place is uninhabitable."

"That's really enough."

"I don't want to stay here."

The females' complaints rose and fell, making Arthur frown. Mr. Bear, the males were trying to soothe them, but it was no use.

"Shut up, all of you!" Arthur shouted.

After being yelled at a few times, the females immediately fell silent. Arthur was intimidating; he was never polite to any female other than Guo Xiaoxiao.

There was a time in Beast City when a female misbehaved and was locked up by him for two days before being released. After that, no one dared to mess with her again.

Arthur: "I'm getting annoyed by your chatter. If you keep going, I'll kick you out. Find somewhere else to go. If you get infected by parasites, that's none of my business."

"There was a group of stray beasts that I didn't kill. They probably didn't go too far. I won't go into what happened to those who were caught by them."

The ferocity of female stray animals is well-known, and because they fear being taken away by others, females are not allowed to leave the tribe alone without a strong male to protect them.

The females fell silent, and Guo Xiaoxiao nudged Arthur with her hand.

"Don't blame them for wanting to vomit; even I'm finding it hard to stand it. There are many rooms above the grotto; have you arranged how they will be allocated?"

Carlos said, "The females live in the middle. There are more than 10,000 orcs, who will occupy at least 7 or 8 levels. The females and their partners will live together on the third level."

Cang Jue was holding an egg in his arms

"Everyone, did you hear that? Females, go directly to the third level. Single males, find your own places and gather together as tribes. Orcs who haven't joined a tribe yet, do as you please."

After saying that, Cang Jue went upstairs to find a place, because he needed to find a larger room since there was an egg involved.

Carlos's cave has a small passageway leading to a room where Guo Xiaoxiao and he once lived, but Carlos didn't mention it because it couldn't accommodate six people.

Let Cang Jue go find it himself.

Guo Xiaoxiao wanted to go up with Cang Jue too, since the egg was in his hands and needed careful care, but Carlos stopped her.

"Xiaoxiao, you forgot there's another room inside. You stay in there and wait for Cangjue and Dan to stay upstairs."

Of course she remembered, the memory was too vivid, but the room was small, only big enough for two people, how could six people fit in?

Carlos knew her concerns, but for Guo Xiaoxiao's sake, he still had to treat her differently. Stray beasts were never clean, and the rooms they stayed in weren't tidied up.

Don't go up and smell it, you'll just throw up. Wait until everything's done before going up to check.

"Don't go there, you won't be able to handle it. The room is a mess, there's even excrement in it. You should go to the inner room; I went in and took a look around, and the one Ling Feng stayed in was much cleaner."

"You can move the place after everything is cleaned up."

Uh… even shit! Guo Xiaoxiao hesitated, then heard the orcs who had been searching for rooms start cursing.

"Don't they clean up after themselves? They just poop in the room, it's disgusting!"

"They finished eating, but they didn't even throw away the bones. The leftover meat is already rotting. What are they doing leaving it here?"

"Let the female wait down there, don't come up. Clear the area with branches first, and go outside to shovel some sand."

Cang Jue stood outside a relatively large room, looked around, and then took the egg down.

"Xiaoxiao, take the egg first, looks like we'll have to do something big." Then: "These stray beasts are disgusting, I can't even bear to look at them."

Randy: "Let's go up and do it together."

Mickelson: "I'll go find Monet and get some deodorizing leaves to put in the room; that would help."

Guo Xiaoxiao carefully held the animal skin bag that Cang Jue handed her in her arms.

Carlos: "Xiaoxiao, come inside with me. We'll just have to find somewhere to stay while we wait here."

…

Arriving at her former temporary residence, Guo Xiaoxiao was overwhelmed with mixed emotions. She had fallen for Carlos's trick again; the two were still together, and even snakes had been born.

The little snakes felt a sense of familiarity as they entered the room, a place where Carlos had lived for a long time.

It was the same as before: a stone table and a stone bed. There was no animal hide on the stone bed. The room had a window for ventilation, so it didn't smell bad. It was much simpler than the ones I had stayed in before, and much of the furniture was gone.

There wasn't even an animal hide on the stone bed. Did Ling Feng just sleep directly on the stone slab? Didn't he find it uncomfortable?

To become powerful in a short period of time means living a life unlike that of ordinary people.

…

Everything was cleaned up, and the entire cave didn't fall completely quiet until late at night. The rest could wait until the next day; only Carlos knew the area well, so he would come back tomorrow to make the arrangements.

Arthur didn't compete with Carlos for territory when he settled in the desert, mainly because he didn't have enough people. However, he also knew that the area was rich in resources, with plenty of prey in the forests.

Five days later, everything was settled. Patrols were also set up outside the cave, just in case the stray beasts returned and caught them off guard. Everything else was fine, but their penchant for abducting females was a problem.
