He twitched his lips. Sure enough, it wasn't a professional system. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Is there any other common sense like this? I don't want to make any more mistakes. Fortunately, the other party is Xuan. If it was anyone else, I'd be burned to death as an alien."
"There is no other such special common sense. There is no custom of burning aliens to death in this world. Host, don't worry."
. . . . . .
System, what nonsense are you talking about?
As if sensing Meng Yuqing's emotions, the system immediately began to report the task notification.
Hidden quest: Gathering tendon grass (completed)
Hidden quest: Discover edible radish (completed)
It actually gave up the original name of radish in this world and called it what Meng Yuqing called it.
Meng Yuqing: …
While applying antiseptic grass to the white-spotted beast, Xuan looked at Meng Yuqing several times, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Feeling his gaze, Meng Yuqing paused and looked back.
"What do you want to say?"
Xuan pursed his lips and said, "Did you just suddenly disappear? You shot two arrows in total. I didn't notice anything unusual when you shot the first one. It was only when the second arrow hit the white spot beast and caught my attention that I realized I couldn't sense your presence anymore."
Hearing Xuan's words, Meng Yuqing felt relieved. This is what he wanted to say.
He thought for a moment before answering, "This is a way for me to protect myself. I'm not gone, I'm still there, you can still see me, right?"
Xuan nodded, "That's good." He breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Meng Yuqing and smiled brightly, "You have a way to protect yourself..."
"Um."
The two of them worked together to apply antiseptic grass to the white-spotted beast, and the smell of blood faded after the application.
After tying up the white-spotted beast, he took out clean water from the space warehouse, rinsed his hands slightly, fixed the white-spotted beast on Xuan's back, and prepared to continue his journey.
Meng Yuqing took out his woven bag and got in, and Xuan picked him up.
He sat cross-legged in the bag, one hand supporting his face and the other hand on his knee. This scene was so familiar.
After looking at the food and water in the warehouse, they found that they were enough to support the two of them until they returned to the tribe, without the need for additional hunting.
In the next few days, Xuan Hui sped up his pace to the tribe. He basically did not rest unless it was necessary, just like the time when he brought the shadow beast back.
The three-day journey was compressed into two days.
Meng Yuqing opened the bag and looked out, and found that the surrounding scenery was familiar. They had arrived at the patrol area and would soon reach the tribe.
Pulling his hand back to retract the bag, he suddenly felt Xuan pause.
"What's wrong? Xuan, why did we stop before reaching the tribe?" Meng Yuqing asked in some confusion. The tribe was still half a day's journey away.
Xuan lowered his head and put him down, lowering his voice, "Shh... There are little guys hunting."
After saying that, he took Meng Yuqing and walked into the bushes quietly, without making any sound during the whole process.
Meng Yuqing looked at him with a puzzled look on his face, but didn't ask any more questions. He just stayed quietly in the bag.
Behind the bushes, Xuan took the white-spotted beast off his back, changed back into human form, and climbed up a tree with Meng Yuqing, finding a suitable branch to hide.
Through the gaps between the leaves in front of him, Meng Yuqing could barely see what was ahead.
"Wait a moment, they are coming." Xuan whispered in his ear.
Seeing Xuan like this, Meng Yuqing understood that Xuan probably wanted to take him to watch others hunting. Thinking of the little guy he just mentioned, he suddenly became interested. Are they the little orcs under the age of fourteen in the tribe?
After waiting patiently for a while, Meng Yuqing heard the sound of grass being trampled in the distance. The sound was getting closer and closer, and gradually some footsteps could be heard, which were very messy and urgent.
He instantly focused his attention and looked down, and soon, a small orange beast appeared in his sight, and it looked very panicked.
The figure that was closely following the beast soon revealed its true form.
There were four little orcs, whose beast forms looked even smaller than the small wild beasts, and they were already very close to the wild beasts.
The one running in front began to try to knock the beast down, but failed. The beast made a sharp turn and dodged his attack.
When the little orc following beside saw the beast turn, he immediately changed direction and rushed towards the beast, stretching out his front paws to reach the beast's hind legs, trying to trip the beast. Unfortunately, he was a little short of the mark and his front paws just barely grazed the beast's hind legs.
The beast kicked its hind legs and escaped from the attack range of the little orc, but it still stumbled and its speed was affected.
The other two little orcs found the right opportunity, one jumped on it, and the other bit its leg from behind.
The beast swung its body wildly, trying to shake them off. It kicked its hind legs continuously, but the small orc who was almost the same size as it was pressing on its back was too much of a restriction on it.
The other two little orcs who failed in their attacks immediately surrounded the beast, and with tacit cooperation, one bit the beast's front legs while the other attacked the beast's head.
After a while, the beast was knocked to the ground by them, and they pressed on it and held it down.
After about twenty minutes, the beast gradually stopped struggling.
A little orc loosened his mouth and leaned closer to the beast's head to take a look. He immediately said happily, "We succeeded!"
The other three little orcs immediately opened their mouths and cheered together after hearing this.
"Great, we can hunt and eat on our own from now on!!!"
They came together and rubbed against each other, licking each other's wounds from the hunt.
On a tree not far away, Meng Yuqing was watching the hunt intently. He had only seen Xuan hunting live in all the time he had been here.
Because he was just hunting to fill his stomach, his hunting targets were all small and medium-sized wild animals. This was not a difficult task for Xuan at all, and it was often over in an instant.
But the hunting of the little beastmen in front of him was closer to the animal world he saw in the modern world.
He used to only be able to watch it through the screen, but this time he watched a live version from a VIP seat in a tree with a great view.
His face flushed with excitement.
Xuan turned his head to look at Meng Yuqing, he knew that Yuqing would definitely be interested in this.
Under the tree, the little beastmen rubbed against each other to celebrate and then prepared to eat.
At this time, Xuan suddenly stood up and stretched out his hand to shake the branches. The little beastmen under the tree heard the movement and immediately became alert and looked towards the tree where they were, slowly retreating.
The trees were lush, and Xuan was deliberately hiding, so the little beastmen could not see what was hidden in the trees.
Xuan did not show up with Meng Yuqing, but just kept shaking the branches, making a rustling sound.
