The sun was already setting, and just as the sack was being woven, the system's voice rang in my head.
"Beep—complete the hidden mission. Teach Xuan of the Qingshan tribe to make woven bags with vines, promote the development of the Qingshan tribe, and gain energy. Detailed information can be viewed by the host after he confirms to join the tribe or establish a tribe."
Meng Yuqing paused slightly, then looked up at Xuan. Xuan was excitedly fiddling with the woven bag and didn't notice anything unusual about him.
"Meng Yuqing, you're amazing! You can actually turn vines into this shape. Before, we could only use vines to bind things larger, but now we can fit a lot of small items inside. It will be much more convenient to bring back things from hunting in the future. This is much more convenient than animal skins!"
"Ahem...it's just so-so~" Meng Yuqing slumped on the ground, waving his hands as he listened to Xuan's praise.
After putting the sack back into the cave, Xuan found a lot of hay to cover the entire body of the shadow beast. He looked up at the sky. Meng Yuqing remembered the wound on Xuan's body and his previous plan to find some more hemostatic grass, so he called Xuan.
"Can you walk around with me? I want to see if there's any hemostatic grass around here."
"Good!" Xuan's eyes lit up. Having experienced the effects of hemostatic grass, he was even more excited than before. This medicine was very important for orcs like them who often fought with wild beasts. If every orc could prepare a portion of this medicine, it would greatly increase their survival rate after being injured in the wild.
Accompanied by Xuan, Meng Yuqing explored the area surrounding the cave, even stopping by a stream a little distance away to wash his face. It wasn't that he didn't want to bathe, but being out in the wild, he felt it was best to save as much as possible. As he prepared to return to the cave, he even used the shell of a coconut-like fruit to fill up a large amount of water to drink on the way back to the tribe.
However, what made him more discouraged was that he did not find any other hemostatic herbs. Xuan did not think much of it and instead comforted Meng Yuqing, saying that it was normal not to find any, otherwise the medicine would not be so precious.
However, this coconut-like fruit was an unexpected surprise. Xuan followed his instructions and used his nails, which were sharper than a knife, to cut a small part of the top of the fruit. Then he hollowed out the flesh inside, washed it clean, filled it with stream water, and finally covered it with the cut part as a lid. He tied it up with tougher grass and a simple small kettle was made.
Xuan looked at the simple little kettle in surprise and said to Meng Yuqing.
"How did you come up with that? We used to use the stomachs of wild animals or urine containers to store water. Every time a new one was made, no one wanted to use it right away. They preferred to use the ones that had been used for a long time, especially the sub-beasts and some cubs. They would rather use stone bowls unless absolutely necessary."
"I figured it out as soon as I saw it! But this is a temporary one, so it still leaks a little. I'll study it when I have time to see if it can be improved." Meng Yuqing looked at Xuan with some pride.
At this time, the system sounded the completion of the task again.
"Beep—Hidden quest: Use the shells of the palm fruit to make a simple kettle. This will facilitate the tribe's daily life and provide energy."
Meng Yuqing was a little confused about the system's task distribution standards. The tasks actively distributed by the system had not been completed yet, but he had inadvertently completed two hidden tasks. It felt that the system was a bit too free and casual.
But now is not the time to worry about this. We should wait until the tribe stabilizes before we can study this system in depth.
When they returned to the cave, it was already dark. Xuansheng made a fire and settled Meng Yuqing in the cave, then walked out of the cave and said.
"I'm going out hunting and will be back soon. With the Shadow Beast's body here, no other beasts will come here. Don't run around."
"I know, I know. I won't run around. Bring back some more fruit and I'll put it in the bag for you to eat."
Xuan nodded, and without further ado, he leaped up and flew nearly 20 meters. Seeing Xuan's figure disappear, Meng Yuqing slowly walked out of the cave and went to the side of the shadow beast.
"System, identify the shadow beast." Watching Xuan's figure disappear, Meng Yuqing said to the system. He was extremely curious about this shadow beast, and now he finally had the time to study it carefully.
"Adult Shadow Beast, deceased. A high-level carnivorous beast. Extremely intelligent, brutal and cunning, with high combat power. It requires at least 2-3 ordinary adult orcs to contend with it. It prefers to feed on sub-orcs and orc cubs. Due to its high intelligence, it is adept at commanding low-level beasts and even some mid-level beasts. It is a nightmare beast for weak tribes."
"It takes 2-3 orcs to fight? But didn't Xuan hunt alone? I didn't see him have any helpers." Meng Yuqing was surprised when he heard the feedback from the system.
"Xuan is different," the system replied vaguely.
"What's different about him?" Meng Yuqing asked with interest.
"The host has insufficient permissions. Please upgrade the system level as soon as possible to unlock more permissions." The system was stingy and refused to say more. Meng Yuqing curled her lips, remembering that Xuan had always treated her as a sub-beast, and changed the question.
"By the way, what are sub-beasts?"
"The people of the Orc Continent are divided into orcs and sub-orcs. Orcs can transform into beast form, are good at fighting, and have high combat power. Sub-orcs are people who cannot transform into beast form. They have the ability to give birth to life, but are not good at fighting and have low combat power. Only a very small number of sub-orcs have a certain combat power."
"Giving birth to life? Is that what I thought?" Meng Yuqing was shocked by the system's answer.
"That's what the host thinks."
"I'm a man!!" Meng Yuqing retorted. Xuan had always regarded him as a sub-beast. He didn't know it at the time, so he had always acquiesced to it. After hearing this, he could no longer sit still.
