"With so many of them, if they attack us, we'll be in trouble." Someone said stiffly.
"If there were a hundred, even two hundred, I wouldn't be afraid, but there are too many of them here now. We'll be exhausted to death." Another person also whispered, looking at the beasts vigilantly.
Xuan, however, sat on the ground and scratched his ear with his back and said, "They probably won't attack us for the time being. If they were hostile to us, we wouldn't have been standing on the hillside talking for so long without feeling any danger."
"Yes, if so many beasts were hostile, we should have been furious long ago." Yang also agreed with Xuan's statement.
They looked at the wild beasts, some were carnivorous, some were herbivorous, some lived alone, and some lived in groups. There was a mixture of large, medium and small beasts, all living in harmony in such a relatively safe place, and no beast had any conflict with its neighbors.
Some of the weaker beasts got up and left after resting for a while, while the stronger beasts just took a look and continued to lie there and rest.
This area became a ceasefire zone under the inexplicable tacit understanding of the beasts.
The orcs were paying attention to the wild beasts, but Meng Yuqing was attracted by the energy space.
While the system was guiding the way, it was frantically extracting energy from it. When it was about to reach the safe zone, the energy had run out.
But after all of them entered the safe zone, another wave of energy immediately poured in. However, compared to the energy used for guiding the way, this energy was only a drop in the bucket.
If it were just this, it would not have attracted Meng Yuqing's attention. This should be the energy obtained by the people of Qingshan Tribe to survive. What surprised him was that after the wave of energy belonging to Qingshan Tribe poured in, it paused for a while, and then began to flow in again.
He was a little confused at first, until Lian told him about the beasts he saw while fleeing, he began to understand where the energy came from.
Does the survival of these beasts count as energy?
But when the orcs were hunting wild beasts, the system didn't deduct their energy.
Meng Yuqing supported his chin and thought. Although the beasts were ferocious and not in the same camp as the orcs, they were still creatures on the continent. He felt that his understanding was correct.
However, these beasts were rescued by them accidentally, and although they were counted as energy for him, he was not going to deliberately save the beasts or persuade the orcs to eat vegetarian food for the sake of energy. He was also not going to go against the system and do things to exterminate the beasts. That would be too stupid.
The system has never mentioned that energy can be gained by saving wild animals, which proves that the system's attitude towards this matter is neither encouraging nor opposing, but rather taking things as they come.
However, the system's operation made him more certain about the origin of the system.
"What should we do now? Should we go back directly or catch some more, or go and retrieve the lost prey?" Someone asked while looking at the scene at the bottom of the slope.
Everyone looked at Meng Yuqing, waiting to hear his advice.
"Don't bother looking for the lost ones. It will take as long as it takes to catch them again. Besides, this mountain is so big and the snow is still falling. Once these beasts leave, things probably won't be so peaceful anymore.
Besides, none of us knows if there will be any more wild beasts roaring. Anyway, let's leave here first. If nothing works, we can go back to the river and catch them for two days."
Meng Yuqing thought for a moment and continued, "I'd also like to tell you about how to escape an avalanche. We ran all the way down this time because the situation was quite special. We definitely wouldn't run like this under normal circumstances."
Then, Meng Yuqing explained to these orcs the causes of avalanches and how to escape when encountering an avalanche under normal circumstances. He also used the example of the wild beasts halfway up the mountain, and explained what they should do if they were halfway up the mountain to escape or protect themselves to minimize damage.
The orcs nodded repeatedly, "It's a good thing the witch stopped us from going up the mountain in time, otherwise if we really encountered an avalanche halfway up the mountain, we would be finished."
Meng Yuqing nodded secretly when he heard them say this. When he was doing the science popularization, he deliberately skipped the fact that the orcs' running speed was not slower than an avalanche. Even if they really encountered an avalanche halfway up the mountain, they would have a great chance of escaping.
He kept emphasizing the horror of avalanches, fearing that some people might not believe it and think that orcs were strong enough and fast enough to not take such a disaster seriously.
However, when he looked at Xuan who kept wagging his tail, he knew that he was definitely not among those who were fooled.
"There are still wild beasts following us." An orc walking behind them suddenly spoke up.
Meng Yuqing looked back and found that there were nearly a hundred wild beasts following them. If it weren't for the ice and snow with nothing to hide, and if his body hadn't been strengthened, he might not have been able to see the small black dots far behind them.
