While sorting out the information he received, Meng Yuqing thought about what he should do next.
The sound of grass being rustled could be heard from the cave entrance, and Meng Yuqing became alert. Was it Xuan who had returned? Or was it some other wild animal?
Meng Yuqing carefully retreated deeper into the place. Fortunately, the grass and trees parted, revealing Xuan's huge head.
"I'm back, Meng...Yuqing?"
Xuan moved his ears and called out Meng Yuqing's name in a somewhat unskillful manner.
In their place, the names of orcs all have only one syllable, while the names of sub-beasts have two syllables. Meng Yuqing's three-syllable name made him a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that it was Xuan, Meng Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief. During the time he was waiting for Xuan, although the system came out to distract him, he was still in a state of nervousness.
On the way here, he could vaguely see some wild beasts that were scared away by Xuan. These beasts might be insignificant in front of Xuan, but for him, any one of them could take his life.
Recalling that when he was still on the tree, he loudly asked if there was anyone nearby, Meng Yuqing was frightened. Fortunately, it was Xuan who was attracted over, not other beasts.
"I'm in there, I'll be right out."
Hearing Xuan calling her, Meng Yuqing put her thoughts aside and walked out while responding.
Xuan stood at the entrance of the cave, with two unusually large leaves at his feet. One leaf had processed fresh meat on it, and the other had some fruits on it.
Meng Yuqing couldn't recognize what kind of fruit it was. Each one was as big as a fist, and some were green, some were yellow, and some were red.
"I've already processed the meat, so it can be cooked right away. If you're hungry, eat some berries first. I'll roast the meat in no time."
Meng Yuqing looked up at Xuan, but he still didn't understand what Xuan meant. How could a big black panther grill meat?
Xuan took two steps back, and his body suddenly shrank, gradually becoming blurred and unreal, making it difficult to see clearly. It was not until he shrank to about two meters that he became clear again.
A young man with long black hair reaching his shoulders, naked upper body and wearing a black animal skin skirt appeared in front of Meng Yuqing.
The young man was tall and slender, half a head taller than Meng Yuqing, estimated to be 1.9 meters. His skin was a healthy honey color, and his muscles were evenly distributed. Not exaggerated, but he could give people a sense of his powerful explosive power.
His facial features were deep and delicate, with a hint of wildness. Through the tangled hair on his forehead, one could see his dark green eyes. His extremely handsome appearance was like a gorgeous and sharp knife, yet extremely aggressive.
Just like a wild leopard! Ah! No, he is actually a big black panther! Meng Yuqing came back to his senses and secretly complained to himself in his heart.
Only after seeing Black Panther transformed into a living being with his own eyes did he feel that he had truly arrived in the world of orcs.
Xuan picked up the animal meat and fruits wrapped in leaves on the ground and walked towards the cave. When he passed by Meng Yuqing, he paused slightly and looked at him with some confusion. Why was this sub-beast so stupid?
Hearing Xuan's doubt, Meng Yuqing touched his nose awkwardly, then followed Xuan into the cave.
It was already dark, and the cave was completely gloomy. Meng Yuqing couldn't see clearly, but she knew Xuan Zai had placed the meat and fruit on the ground, then walked to the innermost part of the cave. A few moments later, he emerged carrying some dry branches and wood. He rubbed two stones against the wood for a while, and a faint flame began to light up.
"Come here quickly," Xuan waved to Meng Yuqing, "Eat the berries first, the meat will be ready soon."
As he said that, he stuffed two berries into Meng Yuqing's arms and motioned him to eat quickly.
"Don't be in a hurry, you can eat too. Fill your stomach first and then we'll roast them together later." Meng Yuqing shook his head and stuffed a fruit back into Xuan's hand.
"I'm not hungry. Before I met you, I just ate a small sharp-toothed beast. I don't need to eat tonight." Xuan pushed the fruit back into his hand and continued, "Besides, you are too thin. You need to eat well."
"?"
Meng Yuqing looked down at himself. Although his figure could not compare with Xuan's, he was at least 180cm tall with some thin muscles. He could lift his 160-pound roommate without any pressure. How could he be considered thin?
Perhaps his resentment was too strong, Xuan stopped grilling the meat and turned his head to look at him.
"?" Xuan's puzzled expression was too obvious. Meng Yuqing wrinkled her nose and decided not to bother with him. She rubbed the berries with her hands and changed the subject.
"When will we return to the tribe?" Thinking of the system's task, Meng Yuqing urgently wanted to visit Xuan's tribe.
Hearing his words, Xuan did not answer immediately, but instead showed a conflicted expression.
Nothing will happen! Meng Yuqing was suddenly shocked when she saw Xuan's expression.
This shouldn't be the case. Xuan had invited me to his tribe before. It's impossible that he would change his mind after going out hunting. What should I do then?
Fortunately, Xuan didn't hesitate for too long and continued to grill the meat while talking to him.
"I left the tribe alone this time because I was going out for my adult hunting. I already have a target beast, a shadow beast. It was too cunning. I injured it, but it ran away. I looked for it for a few days before I found its trace. I tracked it here. It is now nearby and has been hiding from me." Having said that, Xuan looked at Meng Yuqing.
"This place is five days away from the tribe. If I leave, he will run away and I will never find him again."
Xuan frowned, looking a little embarrassed. In his understanding, he had to protect the sub-beast and let it stay in a safe place. It would be best to send the sub-beast back to the tribe as soon as possible, but he really didn't want to give up his adult hunting goal.
Xuan didn't know whether this sub-beast would be angry or not. He felt that he was a very bad orc who didn't care about the safety of the sub-beast, so he was a little nervous.
