The Elephant Tribe is different from the White Tiger Tribe in that it is built on the mountain, with each family digging a cave on each hilltop.
They had built simple houses of stone and mud below, wood above, and thatched ceilings.
Although it is simple, at least people don’t have to be cavemen.
Yu Wanwan was filled with envy.
When they were closer, Yu Wanwan got off the tiger's back, Bai Jing transformed into a human form, put on an animal skin skirt, and the two slowly walked towards the elephant tribe.
At this time, there were not many people at the gate of the elephant tribe. It might be because the orcs inside had gone out to pick fruit or farm. They couldn't rush in, so they had to look around at the gate.
"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing sneaking around here?!"
A stern and deep voice suddenly sounded behind her, which scared Yu Wanwan.
She turned around and saw a tall, strong, and good-looking male.
The male originally had a ferocious expression, full of rejection and anger towards outsiders. After seeing Yu Wanwan, his expression changed quickly and even his voice dropped several degrees.
"Cute little female, are you a beastman from the tiger tribe? You are so beautiful. My name is Takushan. What is your name? Can I be your mate?"
The sudden courtship caught Yu Wanwan off guard, and she was so scared that she quickly hid behind Bai Jing.
Bai Jing's tall figure blocked Yu Wanwan's view completely. Unable to see the pretty little female, Tuoshan became his difficult-to-get-along-with self again.
"Hey! Tiger orc, what are you doing blocking the way here? Don't you know this is our elephant tribe's territory? You're still standing here, you're blocking my courtship, don't you know?"
Tuoshan's words were aggressive and full of gunpowder. Just by listening to the voice, Yu Wanwan felt that Tuoshan was going to roll up his sleeves and fight with Bai Jing.
Bai Jing smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned with Tuoshan's rudeness, and stated his purpose: "I am an orc from the White Tiger Tribe. The female in my family wants to eat some plants, so I brought her here to ask you for some edible plants in exchange."
Tuoshan had no doubt that although the tiger tribe was carnivorous, female tigers would occasionally eat some plants to improve their diet.
"What's so difficult about this? The little female has become my partner. Not only can I exchange food with her, I can even give her all my property!"
Yu Wanwan: No... I don’t want to be your partner even if I don’t eat!
Bai Jing glanced at Yu Wanwan, who immediately shook her head frantically to express her reluctance, and then hid behind him even more tightly.
Bai Jing smiled slightly and said calmly, "You've also seen that females are not willing to mate with you."
He gave me an expression that said, "There's nothing I can do even if the female disagrees."
His courtship was rejected and he couldn't see any pretty females at all. Takushan's attitude became even worse and he spoke directly to Bo Jing with his nose pointed.
"Since we're not going to form a couple, we can only exchange at the normal price."
"Can."
Takushan snorted as if he had stepped on dog shit: "Come with me."
The two followed Tuoshan into the elephant tribe.
The little cubs in the tribe looked at them with curiosity.
Yu Wanwan saw that most of these children were pretty and cute. They were only wearing animal skin skirts and were not afraid of the cold. They looked very primitive.
Tuoshan's house is located in the outer part of the tribe. The lower half is made of mud and stones, and the upper half is made of thin logs. The walls are completely leaky, and the situation inside can be easily seen from the outside.
The roof was covered with straw laid randomly, thick in some places and thin in others.
Entering the room, the small space of nearly ten square meters is the entire view of the house. There is no furniture inside, only a small pile of weeds, which I guess is the grass nest where people usually sleep.
There were several piles of plants next to the grass nest, forming a small hill. Some of the plants were still fresh, while some had dried up, and the soil at the roots of the plants had fallen to the ground.
Seeing this, Yu Wanwan almost instantly put away her envy.
Well, actually the cave is pretty good, at least it can shelter us from the wind and rain.
Seeing the little female constantly looking at her house and food, Tuoshan said proudly, "This house-building technology is only possessed by our elephant tribe in Qingwan Forest. Those plants are my food for the winter. As long as the little female mates with me, you can also live in a house, and you don't have to live in a broken cave with this tiger tribe."
Yu Wanwan: That’s not necessary!
Looking at this dilapidated hut, the leaky walls, the walls that could collapse at any time, and the corners where there was not enough food for an adult orc to eat for ten days, Yu Wanwan deeply doubted whether this orc could successfully survive the winter.
The resistance on the young female's face became increasingly obvious. Having failed in his courtship attempt once again, Tuoshan resumed his usual dog-shit-stepping demeanor and snorted coldly, "In that case, let's exchange supplies. Just to be clear, I only accept tanned, intact, fresh hides and salt crystals. I don't want any of your tiger orc meat or bones!"
You're quite picky, boy!
Yu Wanwan looked up at Bai Jing.
Bai Jing touched her head and asked, "Don't you want to ask about the plants?"
Yu Wanwan nodded and Fang said, "I want to ask you, do you have any of those fruits here that are white and hard, and become soft when ripe. They don't taste like much when you take a bite, but they have a slightly sweet taste when you chew them carefully."
Tuoshan thought for a moment and said, "The kind you're talking about only has pink fruit and green leaves. The pink fruit is edible, but the green leaves are poisonous."
Yu Wanwan perked up: "Can you let me see that pink fruit?"
Takushan said yes, then turned around and started searching through the pile of plants.
But his things were placed too messily, and when he pushed them around, all the plants piled on the ground like garbage.
