Chapter 107 Primal Orc 4
Hu Zhao bit the neck of a young Luo Luo beast tightly, and the gushing blood soaked his face. In the snow and ice, the blood first warmed his eyes, and then the cold wind froze the hair on his face into ice chips.
As the Luo Luo beast's breath gradually faded, Hu Zhao finally let go.
He supported his body and tried to chase the remaining baby Lolo beast, but he couldn't stand up.
He was badly injured and could feel his body slowly getting colder. He was about to return to the arms of the Beast God.
Well, he was a cripple anyway, and this would be his last prey as an orc warrior.
He completed the hunt for a baby Lala beast on his own, which was something that the lame Hu Zhao had never thought of before.
If there were still people alive, perhaps this lala beast would be enough to keep them fed for a long time.
Hu Zhao was panting heavily, his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier, until he heard a familiar tiger roar coming from far away. He opened his eyes slightly, and a flash of white came into view.
It's Sylvie.
He lured away two adult Lolo beasts, but he is still alive?
Who said Xier was useless? He's so amazing...
Xier smelled Hu Zhao's breath and found that he was still alive, but very weak. He hurriedly asked the demi-human on his back if there was any herbal juice.
Xie Yunsui jumped down sideways, pried open the mouth of the large golden tabby, and poured a bottle of hemostatic potion into its throat.
Hu Zhao choked, and the medicine mixed with blood and foam spurted out. Xie Yunsui quickly pinched Hu Zhao's mouth and said, "Swallow it."
Hu Zhao: Gulp.
Xier explained, "This is herbal juice. It's very effective. It was brewed by Priest Yun Sui himself."
Hu Zhao's head was buzzing and he didn't understand anything. When he heard the word "priest", he stopped struggling and turned into a human form.
The animal skin on his body fell somewhere unknown when he turned into a beast. At this time, Hu Zhao was naked. Xie Yunsui couldn't bear to look at it, so he used an arrow to cut through the skin of the Luo Luo beast, drew a circle around its neck, and then tore off a large piece of fur.
Hu Zhao had gained some strength and didn't mind that the fur had not been tanned, so he wrapped himself up.
It can block the cold wind and protect fragile areas.
"You are, cough, you are a priest?" Hu Zhao felt that the wound had stopped bleeding, and asked Xie Yunsui in surprise.
Xie Yunsui smiled, which was considered as an admission.
It’s good to have an identity. Anyway, all the priests in this Western Continent are not real priests.
Xier nudged Xie Yunsui with his head and asked Hu Zhao, "We still need to look for the others. Do you know where they went?"
Xie Yunsui climbed onto the tiger's back and looked at the uneven snow on all sides. He said, "We can find them by following these traces. I'm afraid they've gotten separated."
Hu Zhao also said: "Zuyang got separated while leading everyone to run, and there was also a Luoluo beast that I failed to stop. I don't know who it ran after. We must find them quickly."
Xier and Hu Zhao exchanged information in a few words, and Xie Yunsui learned that there were a total of nineteen people in their group who were driven out of the Golden Tiger Tribe, among whom there were only three tiger beastmen and one lion beastman, and the rest were sub-humans.
Except for Hu Zhao and Xier, the rest of the people in the tribe are elderly.
The ancestral sheep they mentioned came from a herbivorous tribe that they met on the way. Their target was an abandoned valley, so they didn't care about the tribe and just took it as a companion.
Twenty people went to the Abandoned Valley, led entirely by Zuyang. Just when they were almost there, they encountered the Luo Luo beast.
The first thing they saw was a lone Lolo cub running out, so they thought that the four orcs would surround and kill this little Lolo. One little Lolo could provide them with food for several days, so they wouldn't have to go to see the Beast God on an empty stomach.
Who knew that just when he killed the little Luo Luo and was about to leave quickly, he was discovered by the adult Luo Luo beast.
Then they were besieged by two adult Lolomon and three little Lolomon. They thought the Lolomon were delicious, but they didn't know that the Lolomon thought they were delicious too.
As a tiger beastman who had just reached adulthood and had both arms and legs, Xier took the initiative to bite a small Luo Luo and lured away two adult Luo Luos. Hu Zhao stopped a small Luo Luo, leaving only a small Luo Luo beast free to fight.
Xie Yunsui guessed that the little Luoluo beast he saw at the beginning should be the one taken away by Xier. Under the siege of two adult Luoluo beasts, even the brave and warlike orc warriors could not kill a baby Luoluo beast with one bite.
Xier had completed his mission by simply relying on his courage to lure away two adult Lolo beasts.
It was not until dark that Xier and Hu Zhao found everyone again.
The Luo Luo beast that followed them was unlucky and slipped into a thorn bush. The more it struggled, the deeper it was tied up with its hind legs. The tiger beastman and the lion beastman then stoned it to death.
However, four of their demi-humans went to meet the Beast God in advance.
Zu Yang and the other three hid in a depression under a small hill. The only wounds on their bodies were caused by scratches from thorns. The remaining eight people were all more or less seriously injured.
"I didn't see Chi Yu. Chi Yu ran away."
Xier was so anxious that he was about to go look for someone else in the dark, but Xie Yunsui stopped him and asked about Chi Yu's appearance before saying, "I've seen him. I saved him not far from where we first met."
That half bottle of recovery potion should be able to wake him up. There are three Lala beasts near him. If he is not stupid, he will at least find a Lala beast to hug for warmth so as not to freeze to death.
As soon as it got dark, the outdoor temperature, which was not high to begin with, dropped even lower. Except for the orcs who could still withstand it, the demihumans were basically frozen to death, and their faces turned blue.
Xie Yunsui said, "Don't rush to take these Luoluo beast corpses back. Let's go to the valley to get warm."
The orcs' night vision was pretty good, and the nights during the snowy season were brighter than usual. Four big cats carried the demihumans towards the valley.
Hu Zhao's right hind leg was half shortened, so he only carried two subhumans on his back and walked at the back of the team, following with gritted teeth.
There are caves in the valley, which were dug by countless orcs abandoned by the tribe. There is a largest cave that can accommodate seventeen of them.
Xie Yunsui brought his own barbecue and fruits from the cave nearby and distributed them to everyone. While no one was paying attention, he brought two torches.
"Fire!" Shi Yan exclaimed, "Did Priest Yun actually keep the fire here?"
It is a great thing for every tribe to have fire. A tribe without fire is doomed to be weak. Preserving the fire is also a difficult task. Only the priests know how to preserve it, or they have to keep it burning, which consumes a lot of wood.
Xie Yunsui said, "I know how to start a fire. I can teach you if I have the chance."
"How can this be possible..." Others said, "Isn't that a secret that only priests can know?"
Zuyang also remembered that in the past, the tribe had to use a lot of food to ask for fire from the Big Bear Tribe or the Golden Tiger Tribe.
If there was no fire in the tribe before the snow season, many people would freeze to death throughout the snow season.
Xie Yunsui repeated the excuse he had given to Xier before, and added a lot of details.
For example, there are tribes on the other side of the ocean. In the tribe, there are not only priests who can light fire, but also priests who can teach everyone in the tribe how to keep the fire. The priests can do all kinds of things...
Everyone was fascinated by what they heard.
As Xie Yunsui spoke, he divided a small fire into three parts so that everyone would no longer feel cramped around it, and then moved the entire fire around every once in a while.
There was a black mark on the ground that was originally smoked by the fire, but it was warm and you wouldn't feel freezing cold when sitting on it.
The ancestral sheep came from a herbivorous tribe and was naturally thinner than the subhumans of the Golden Tiger tribe. Although he had been sitting next to the fire, he was constantly being blown by the cold wind from under his body and behind, and had been shivering for a long time.
Xie Yunsui asked him to sit in a heated area, and immediately a warmth spread from his lower limbs to his upper body, making him feel so comfortable that even his beard was blown up.
"It's so warm..."
The demihumans of the Golden Tiger Tribe also came over, snuggling together in groups of three or four, and smiled happily at the warmth.
Ever since they were driven out of the tribe and spent several cold nights in the redwood forest, they never thought they could sit together so comfortably.
Xie Yunsui warmed up a piece of meat in his hand over the fire and handed it to Xier next to him.
The other three orcs present turned back into human form, but only Xier maintained his beast form. Xie Yunsui seemed to be able to guess why he was expelled from the tribe.
Staying in beast form all the time consumes a lot of energy, so Xie Yunsui shared some of his own meat with him so that he could eat more.
Xier's huge beast form coiled up and lay in the direction of the cave entrance to block the cold wind for everyone. While everyone was talking, he finished eating the little meat and a fruit that were given to him, and then lay there silently.
When Xie Yunsui handed the meat over, the aroma of the meat lingered at the tip of his nose. His nostrils twitched several times, but he did not open his eyes.
It was not until Xie Yunsui touched his beard twice that Xier felt so itchy that he wanted to sneeze and opened his eyelids to see the flesh near his mouth.
Xi Er:?
The cute cat head immediately struck a chord with Xie Yunsui. With a smile in his eyes, he whispered, "I'm full, but I still have some meat left. Can you help me with that?"
Xier's big round eyes glanced at his belly, then looked at the piece of meat that had not moved much, and shook his head.
Xie Yunsui had no choice but to say, "I like to eat fresh food. This meat has been sitting there for a few days and is no longer fresh. I don't want to eat it, so I can only throw it away."
Xier opened his mouth immediately: Throw it into my mouth.
Xie Yunsui laughed. If it wasn't in front of everyone, he would have kissed the cat's head twice to relieve the itch.
Xier chewed and chewed, thinking that this demi-human was really weird. He actually chose to eat fresh meat. He was happy just having meat to eat... But he heard from the people in the tribe that demi-humans were a little more delicate than orcs. They would get stomachaches after eating meat that had been stored for a long time. Suddenly, he didn't think he was weird anymore.
Several people from the Golden Tiger Tribe noticed their interaction, and their expressions darkened for a moment, filled with regret.
Zuyang lived long enough to have heard many stories passed down from the Western Continent.
He had previously seen Xier in beast form and thought he was protecting the small group. But when he saw that Xier was unable to transform back into human form, he realized, "Is Xier... a Forsaken One?"
Orcs are born as beast cubs and can change into human form at any stage before adulthood. Only orcs who can switch between human and beast forms at will can be considered true orcs.
The beast form is powerful and used for fighting and hunting, while the human form is intelligent and can learn and form families.
If an orc is unable to transform into a human form after reaching adulthood, he will gradually lose his humanity and eventually become a complete beast.
Such orcs are called God's Forsaken.
Xier lowered his big head and let out a whimper.
