Xuan was stunned by his question, and after a long while he answered, "Their teeth are very painful when they bite. During a battle, they would rather be bitten by teeth like ours than by theirs."
"What do you mean?" Meng Yuqing immediately became interested. Why would they rather be bitten by Xuan and the others than by these herbivorous animals in the modern world?
"When we bite, it's like a sharp bone knife, piercing into the body. Sometimes we can't even penetrate those with thick skin, but their teeth are different." Xuan frowned, as if he was struggling to describe their teeth.
"Their teeth are not sharp, but very uneven. When they bite, it's like... two rough stones hitting each other very hard, and then they grind their teeth... It really hurts. Even orcs like rhinoceros orcs and crocodile orcs don't want to try to be bitten by them." After saying that, Xuan nodded with a very sure look.
Hearing Xuan's description, Meng Yuqing imagined the scene in his head: holding a rough, hard stone in each hand, then slamming them together with a "snap", and then grinding...
If at this moment, a piece of your own flesh happens to be caught in the middle...
He couldn't help but shudder... He didn't want to think about it anymore, it hurt just thinking about it...
Just at this moment, Xia's voice rang out, pulling Meng Yuqing back to her senses. "My child has reached adulthood this year and is coming out with us this time. I'll introduce him to you later. Maybe he'll be the one leading the team to your place in the future."
When talking about Xuan with the people of the Shanjian tribe, Xia had a proud smile on his face.
Hearing Xia say this, Xuan's footsteps paused slightly, and he said to Meng Yuqing in a helpless voice, "The father beast is still very young, but he always wants to step down and let me take charge."
"The clan leader trusts you, even though it seems like there's no problem for him to continue in this position for another few decades." Meng Yuqing touched Xuan's head and said with a smile.
He had noticed very early on that Xia would always take Xuan with him wherever he went and teach him many things.
The meaning of strength is also very obvious, which is to let Mu follow Xuan all the time.
During the previous meeting about the roaming orcs, Xuan Heli's eye contact clearly expressed this intention.
And this seems to have been tacitly accepted by the entire tribal leadership. Meng Yuqing touched his chin. Xuan also has great prestige among the younger orcs in the tribe.
The environment of the valley is very good, and it is very suitable for the mountain elf-like animal such as the sika deer.
Che led them to a place not far from the tribe.
Dozens of their tribesmen were waiting outside, including orcs, sub-beasts and even cubs.
They were carrying a lot of things in big and small bags. Among them, a little sika deer ran over happily as soon as it saw everyone coming, holding a white thing in its mouth. Because it was quite far away, Meng Yuqing could not see it clearly.
When Che saw the little orc running over, he immediately turned to look at Xia and said, "This is my child. What he's holding in his mouth is the new thing we discovered this time."
As he said that, he quickened his pace and ran towards the little orc. When he got close, he changed into a human form and held the little orc in his arms. He took the white thing from the little orc's mouth and handed it to Xia.
"Xuan! Let's go over and take a look. That looks like cotton!" As the distance got closer, Meng Yuqing saw clearly what the little orc brought, and he said excitedly.
Xuan walked directly to Che's side and lay down so that Meng Yuqing could see more clearly.
"Yuqing, do you know this?" Xia turned his head and looked at Meng Yuqing when he heard her words.
Che also looked at Meng Yuqing with some curiosity. This thing was discovered by them this year. It was a bit far away from their tribe. They saw it when they were hunting and chasing a cunning beast to that place.
Because it was white, soft and comfortable to touch, they thought the sub-beasts and cubs would definitely like it, so they brought some back. As they expected, the sub-beasts and cubs liked it very much.
They thought that the people of Qingshan tribe lived a better life than them and would definitely like this thing, so they specially took a lot of people to the place where this thing was discovered and picked a lot of it.
"I know. We call that cotton. It will be very useful in winter." Meng Yuqing looked at the thing in Che's hand, which was mistaken for snowflakes in summer by the orcs.
"It's very useful in winter?" Che raised the cotton in his hand and looked it up and down. "What good can such a small flower do?"
"It will be warm if you make clothes, but it will be troublesome. Is there a lot of cotton in the place you found?" Meng Yuqing answered simply. Cotton can be woven into cloth and can also be used to make cotton clothes.
"There are a lot of them, covering a large area. They look like white grasslands." Che answered honestly. He was very interested in what Meng Yuqing said, but unfortunately he couldn't figure out how to use it.
"A lot..." Meng Yuqing supported his face. This is where wild cotton grows.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Xia and said, "This thing is indeed very useful. If possible, it would be best if we could protect that place so that we don't have to plant it specifically."
At this point, he scratched his head in distress, "We have too many things to plant."
Xuan and Xia immediately understood what he meant. Their tribe would have to plant a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and next year they would have to plant fleshy fruits and the stalk-leaf tree. They would be too busy to plant cotton at the same time, and it would not be enough even if they counted the newly brought back people.
After all, orcs must focus on defending their tribes and hunting wild beasts. A large part of these tasks need to be left to sub-beasts, underage cubs, and some retired orcs. So there are a lot of things to do.
Thinking of this, Xia looked at Che and said, "We need a lot of cotton. How much do you have?"
"We only picked a few bags and brought them back, but there is indeed a lot there. If you want, we can pick it and send it to your tribe." Che didn't expect Xia to ask for a large amount of cotton, but he still immediately proposed a solution.
"That's gonna trouble you, but you'd better pay more attention to protecting that area and don't let it be destroyed by wild animals. We need this thing every year." Xuan and Xia exchanged glances and immediately added, and by the way, pushed the task of taking care of the wild cotton field to the Shanjian tribe without leaving a trace.
"Also, there are seeds in the cotton when you pick it." Meng Yuqing stretched out his hand towards Che, and Che handed the cotton to him.
Meng Yuqing dug out the cotton seeds from the cotton for a long time before pulling them out. She handed them to Che and said, "This is it. After you pick it, you must keep it well. We will collect some new ones every year, and you can keep some for yourself too. If that place is destroyed, we have these and can plant something else."
