The next day, Meng Yuqing was woken up by the system.
"Host, get up. Xuan will be here soon."
Hearing the system's voice, Meng Yuqing opened his eyes in a daze. Just as he got out of bed and put on his fur coat, he heard Xuan calling at the door.
"Yuqing, are you up?"
Meng Yuqing ran to the door holding a toothbrush and responded while opening the door for Xuan.
"Wake up and wait for me for a moment, it will be ready soon."
The door was opened, and Xuan saw Meng Yuqing, who was sleepy and blinked uncomfortably.
Meng Yuqing didn't notice his little action. After opening the door, she ran back to the house. "Wait for me. I'll brush my teeth and wash my face. I'll be done soon."
As he said that, he sprinkled a little salt on the toothbrush, then walked out the door holding the toothbrush and the bamboo cup. Xuan stood obediently at the door and watched Meng Yuqing put the toothbrush into his mouth, and asked curiously.
"Do you want to grind your teeth too?"
"What?" Meng Yuqing was stunned, not quite understanding what Xuan meant.
Xuan said, pointing to the toothbrush he stuffed in his mouth.
"Grinding teeth, I remember that Yafu and the others didn't need to grind their teeth."
"Ah? No, this isn't teeth grinding, it's brushing." Meng Yuqing held the toothbrush in her mouth and said vaguely, "It's for cleaning teeth and keeping your mouth clean."
"Is that so? Your method is different from that of Yafu and the others." Xuan came over and stared at Meng Yuqing's mouth.
Meng Yuqing leaned back uncomfortably.
"How do Qiuye and the others clean their teeth?"
"Yafu and the others used the furry side of animal skins dipped in water to clean their teeth."
"What about you? How do you clean up the orcs?" Meng Yuqing was a little curious.
"Just like my father-in-law and the others, sometimes I need to find some wood to grind my teeth." Xuan looked at Meng Yuqing in surprise. This sub-beast really lacked common sense.
Fortunately, Meng Yuqing was concentrating on brushing his teeth and didn't notice Xuan's expression. After brushing his teeth, he simply wiped his face with animal skin, packed up his things, and walked towards Xuan.
"When the time comes, make a toothbrush for Qiuye as well. It will be much more convenient for you and Xia to use this."
Xuan nodded obediently, "Okay, I'll go find the materials later."
Meng Yuqing ate the food Xuan brought, and the two walked towards the square together.
It was still early for the fight and there were not many people in the square. Meng Yuqing saw Qiu Ye sitting at the bottom of the stage from a distance, and Xia was standing next to him, talking to him with his head down.
When Qiu Ye looked up, he saw Meng Yuqing walking towards him and immediately waved to him.
"Yuqing, come quickly and sit here with me."
Hearing Qiu Ye calling him over, Meng Yuqing ran over in two steps, stopped not far in front of Qiu Ye, and looked at him carefully.
Most of the scratches on Qiu Ye's body have almost healed, except for the wound on his knee, which is covered with thick blood scabs and still looks a bit scary.
Seeing Meng Yuqing staring at his injury, Qiu Ye said nonchalantly, "Don't look at it anymore. It's almost healed. I can walk now. I'll be back to normal in two days. I'll come and help you then."
Xuan had already told him that Meng Yuqing had discovered two kinds of food and wanted to try to grow them himself, and needed him to find a few reliable sub-beasts to help. He had always kept this in mind and had been thinking about candidates for the past few days.
Seeing that Meng Yuqing and Xuandu had come, Xia was not planning to stay here any longer. He still had a lot of things to do. Before, after Meng Yuqing gave him the method of making bamboo bows, he suggested to him that they could give it to the elderly or disabled people in the tribe to make.
I had this idea when I was chatting with Lie one time. Lie mentioned that these people had done things for the tribe when they were young or healthy, and they became disabled because of the tribe.
Now that they have retired, the tribe treats them very well and distributes food to them for free, which is considered as their retirement support. However, these people still hope that they can do something for the tribe instead of being treated like useless people.
Although Yang's leg was lame, he was not disabled. His fighting ability was reduced compared to before, but he was still very advanced in the tribe. He often dealt with these people and naturally understood their thoughts. Occasionally, he would sigh a word or two in front of Lie.
Meng Yuqing felt that although they might not be as good as the young and healthy orcs in combat, it would not be a problem for them to make some tools. This would just allow them to realize their desire to continue working for the tribe and reduce the workload of others.
After hearing his suggestion, Xia thought it made sense, so he immediately organized them and they are now responsible for the production of bamboo bows. When they heard the news, they were very excited and grateful to Meng Yuqing.
After Xia left, Shu took over as the host of today's event. After all, all the little orcs were taught by him, and he knew very well the abilities and limits of these little orcs.
Gradually, more and more people gathered in the square, and the little beastmen who were going to participate in the fight had also gathered. They were all very energetic and ready.
"Today's fight begins now. The first group is on stage!" Following Shu's order, the two giant beasts jumped to the center of the field. Without any unnecessary movements, they collided with each other and started wrestling.
The beast-type orcs' fighting style is very simple and brutal, without any specific moves or fancy techniques. They only have to do one thing, which is to find a way to overwhelm their opponents and seize every opportunity to inflict fatal wounds on them.
Of course, the fights within the tribe would not be so brutal. Wounds and blood were common, but everyone exercised restraint and stopped at the right time without killing anyone.
If the two sides were mortal enemies, then the outcome of many evenly matched duels might not be the same as it is now.
"Dong is on the field!" Xuan said softly, "His opponent is a young orc who is one year older than him."
"Oh? Can Dong win?" Meng Yuqing was a little worried. Qiu Ye, who heard their conversation, turned around and looked at Xuan, waiting for Xuan's answer.
"It's not a big deal." Xuan paused and continued, "Dong and Dan are very strong. They are very keen in combat and can always choose a way to fight that is very advantageous to them. Many 17-year-old orcs are not as good as them. Mu and Lie are also like them, very good at fighting."
Meng Yuqing understood that they had a strong sense of combat. Although they were not as strong as the other party in terms of hard power, as long as the other party was not overwhelming them, they had a chance of winning.
After hearing Xuan's answer, Qiu Ye lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "The orcs of your generation are stronger than ours as a whole, and there are more exceptionally strong ones. Back then, only Yang was exceptionally strong. He was the only one who was far superior to the others. Xia and Lan were also stronger than the others, but they were not as strong as Yang. The gap between them and the others was not as obvious as Yang's. Yang was still the youngest among us."
"Although I don't know why this is happening, it's a good thing." A strange voice came, with some gloom and indifference. Meng Yuqing raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
