"Don't worry about me. I also want to go to the tribe as soon as possible. There are still a lot of fruits in the bag. I can eat any of them."
After eating the barbecue, Meng Yuqing drank some water, sat on the ground to rest, and talked to the system in his mind.
"System, let's explore the area now to see if there are any usable herbs or something like that."
"During the exploration, a small amount of hemostatic grass was found 36 meters behind the host, and blackthorn grass was found 20 meters to the right."
After hearing the system's reply, Meng Yuqing stood up and walked towards the direction of the black thorn grass. He was a little curious. The name of the black thorn grass did not tell him what its function was.
When Xuan saw him get up and walk out, he immediately followed him and asked.
"where you go?"
"I just seemed to see some familiar herbs over there and wanted to go over and take a look." Meng Yuqing pointed in the direction of the black thorn grass and answered Xuan as he walked.
"Oh? Can I go and take a look?" Xuan was obviously interested.
"Sure, it's a good opportunity for you to come and identify these herbs. You can pick them when you see them in the wild in the future." Hearing him say this, Xuan seemed very excited. He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just nodded heavily and followed Meng Yuqing with a serious face.
As they were talking, the two of them walked to the black thorn grass. Meng Yuqing squatted down and looked at this inconspicuous dark green grass. There were some black soft thorns on the leaves, and it looked not easy to deal with.
He wrapped his hands with leaves to avoid the soft thorns, picked the black thorn grass, and used the identification function.
Blackthorn grass is a poisonous herb. When the skin is pierced by blackthorn grass, it will have an anesthetic effect. The anesthetic effect is strong, but there are no other side effects. However, due to its small size and soft nature, blackthorn grass is extremely difficult to use, and almost no one knows its function. The juice of the crushed grass also has an anesthetic effect. The anesthetic effect and duration depend on the dosage.
Hiss—isn't this a natural anesthetic? This is a great thing! It's very useful for self-defense, hunting, and medical treatment, and... ahem... it's also great for sneaking up on people.
After putting away the black thorn grass, Meng Yuqing turned around and met Xuan Qiuzhi's eyes.
"This is called black thorn grass. Yes, it's poisonous." Meng Yuqing calmly said to Xuan. Hearing the word "poisonous", Xuan immediately took two steps back, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Meng Yuqing and the black thorn grass in surprise.
Meng Yuqing was amused by his reaction and quickly spoke.
"It's not a deadly poison. If the thorns of this grass pierce your skin, you'll lose feeling and become numb all over. You'll collapse to the ground, unable to move. But you'll recover after a while."
After hearing his explanation, Xuan relaxed a little, walked closer to the black thorn grass, looked at it, and said seriously.
"That being said, being poisoned in the wild, whether there are others nearby or not, is still very dangerous and can be fatal. However, this grass is too small and its thorns are soft. It can't even penetrate the skin of an orc in human form, let alone a beast form. But it is very dangerous for you sub-beasts. If you can help break through the defense and then use its poison, it will be of great help in hunting."
Meng Yuqing was a little surprised that Xuan saw the disadvantages of the black thorn grass at a glance and immediately came up with a solution, and immediately added.
"The juice from the crushed grass also has an anesthetic effect and can be applied to hard weapons that can pierce the skin."
Xuan's eyes lit up and he nodded, "I'll try catching a few wild beasts when we get back to the tribe."
"Let's go take a look over there. I saw some hemostatic grass. Didn't you say you wanted to take it back?" Meng Yuqing pointed in another direction.
Xuan immediately followed him, and soon, the two of them collected all the hemostatic herbs.
After putting it away, Meng Yuqing climbed into the woven bag with the things. Xuan turned into a beast and walked over, picked up the woven bag, and continued to move towards the tribe.
This time, Xuan did not stop until the next night.
On the evening of the third day, Xuan stopped to hunt. This time, Meng Yuqing was awake and saw how Xuan carried the shadow beast on his back and took him hunting.
It can't be said to be hunting, but Xuan saw a wild beast about the size of a calf while moving forward.
He rushed over and knocked the other party to the ground with a slap of his claws. Then he pinned the other party to the ground with both claws, put Meng Yuqing down, and then dealt with the beast. The whole process took no more than 10 seconds and the beast didn't struggle much.
Is it really that easy to hunt a beast the size of a calf? Meng Yuqing was completely upset. Catching a chicken was much more difficult than this. Is this an orc?
Sitting in the woven bag, watching Xuan, who had turned into a human form, skillfully handling the beast, to be honest, for Meng Yuqing, who grew up in the city, the scene was very bloody and his face turned pale.
He forced himself to watch as sharp nails appeared on Xuan's hands, decomposing the beast's body. He watched him cut off the best piece of meat from the beast, put it on the leaves on the side, then change into beast form, carry the beast to the big tree on the other side and start eating.
Savage, bloody—these were the words that flashed through Meng Yuqing's mind. At that moment, he suddenly realized what kind of world he had traveled through, a primitive world completely different from his own. The creatures here were far more powerful than he was, and also very different. He also understood the meaning of the word "orc": they were both human and beast.
But he also understood that this was an inescapable reality that he had to face, and it was not something that could be ignored by simply ignoring it.
He clenched his hands into fists, forcing himself to watch the entire process. Xuan ate swiftly, leaving only scraps of the calf-sized beast. He dug a hole and buried the scraps, then sat upright, licking the blood from his face and paws. He was as obedient as a large cat, with no trace of his previous ferocity.
