Chapter 112 Primal Orc 9
When Xier woke up in the morning, he stretched and found that Xie Yunsui had rolled to the side as he stood up.
Xier: “…”
I haven't adapted to being in a relationship yet.
He lay down guiltily, carried the person back to his side, and tried to cover up.
Xie Yunsui had been busy all night and felt obviously sleepy in the morning. In addition, it was cold, so he didn't want to move. When he rolled off Xier's body, he was stunned for a moment.
"Okay, I'm up." Xie Yunsui rubbed his head and gave him another kiss.
Xier followed behind with a few words: "...I will pay attention next time."
"I'm fine." Xie Yunsui fiddled with the fire, added two logs to make it burn a little brighter, and said, "We finished the meat yesterday. Should we carve up another Luoluo beast today?"
As he was speaking, Hu Zhao from next door came over and said, "Priest Yun, we are going to cut up the Luo Luo beast."
Calling Priest Yun and Xier means letting them choose the meat first.
Xie Yunsui said, "Here I am."
The surgeon in charge was Hu Ji again. He was very good at cutting meat and could perfectly cut the meat with tendons from all the joints of the Luo Luo beast.
Xie Yunsui looked at their room and saw only one fire in the middle of the cave, but there were traces of more than a dozen fires burning elsewhere. He was stunned and asked, "Did you light more than a dozen fires last night?"
Hu Zhao smiled and said, "No, let's practice what Priest Yun mentioned... the smoldering method."
You can't learn by just watching. Last night, when we had nothing to do, a few people who had seen the smoldering method practiced repeatedly how to put out the fire and how to reignite it.
Hu Zhao scratched his head. "It's too difficult. Many of us couldn't learn it. In the end, only Chi Yu and Zu Yang managed to do it."
Zuyang learned from his experience and steadiness, while Chiyu was talented and careful.
Xie Yunsui raised his eyebrows. Why did the two people who least wanted to live learn it?
After distributing the Luo Luo beasts, everyone sat around the fire, roasted meat and had breakfast, and discussed where to find dry wood today.
Xie Yunsui listened and couldn't help asking, "Are you guys just going to prepare wood?"
"What else can we do?"
During the usual snowy season, everyone slept in the caves of the tribe, relying on sleep to survive hunger. They really didn’t know what else to do besides looking for wood.
Xie Yunsui said, "It will snow tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, perhaps with a heavy snowstorm. It will get even colder. If we want to survive this snowstorm, we need to do a lot of things."
When Xie Yunsui woke up early in the morning, he found that the cold wind was stronger than the previous two days, and the clouds were thicker. Today was a very cloudy day, and snow was coming.
They were in a valley, and the surrounding mountains would help them block some of the wind and snow, so their situation might not be so bad.
But equally, if strong winds and snow can be felt in the valley, the situation outside the valley will be severe.
Everyone's expression became serious. Priest Yun said there would be a heavy snowstorm, and there would definitely be one.
People die during blizzards every year during the snowy season. Chi Yu's second child froze to death during a blizzard night. He was particularly afraid of blizzards.
The wind and snow would take away the temperature in the cave, and no matter how many fires there were, they would not be enough to keep warm, especially since they only had a thin layer of animal skin on their bodies.
Xie Yunsui saw that the animal skins on some of them were torn and had become thinner after wearing them for a long time. The temperature outside was so low, but they were able to hold on until now with the help of a few fires. It was all thanks to their good physical fitness.
Hu Zhao scanned everyone's expressions, confirmed their opinions, and then said, "We will all listen to Priest Yun."
There was no objection.
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "Okay, I'll assign the tasks."
Xie Yunsui didn't know how long this snowstorm would last, so he could only try to think about it as long as possible.
"Hu Ji, Luo Bai and Yuyang stay in the cave and deal with the remaining Luo Luo beasts. Luo Bai and Yuyang have the best technology in nitre-making animal hides." After Xie Yunsui finished speaking, he saw the chests of these two subhumans unconsciously straighten up.
"Leave another demi-human in the cave, be more careful, and dry all these wet wood outside."
Drying is to pile wet wood around the fire. If the distance is too far, the drying effect will not be enough, and if it is too close, there is a risk of burning. It is also necessary to keep an eye on the dried wood, remove it and replace it with a new batch. This is a technical job that requires both patience and carefulness.
A subhuman named Hou Shu said, "I can."
Everyone had lived with Houshu for a long time and nodded in agreement that he was capable.
"Xi'er and Hu Zhao will take three people to the rock pile and bring back as many large rocks as possible. Shi Yan will take four people to the creek to collect ice. The more ice the better."
"Chiyu and Zuyang followed me, searching for food in the valley."
Seventeen people each had their own division of labor, and everyone got moving.
Everyone was used to being assigned tasks by the patriarch, priests, and anyone else. Although they didn't understand the meaning of the work, they were all very obedient.
Xie Yunsui sighed softly. There were still too few people. Whether it was quarrying or ice mining, it was all hard work, and it couldn't be done without enough people.
The purpose of quarrying is to cover the entrance of the cave and reduce the invasion of wind and snow. The stone is heavy and will not be blown away by wind and snow.
During the snowstorm, everyone's drinking water could only be provided by the collected ice.
It's so cold, the meat is frozen solid anyway, so collecting it all will save us from having to dissect it again and again in the wind and snow later. The main thing is that the animal skins need to be made as soon as possible for warmth.
You only need to store enough wood for one or two days, and then you can use charcoal.
Xie Yunsui was not worried that the charcoal would burn out and become unusable. He knew that this method was feasible. Even if he didn't get it right the first time due to lack of experience, he had stock on hand that he could replace without anyone noticing.
Xier rubbed Xie Yunsui with his big head, indicating that he was leaving.
Xie Yunsui stroked his arm twice and said, "You are a brave orc warrior. You must protect everyone."
Xier Zheng nodded, carried the three demi-humans on his back and set off. Hu Zhao changed into a beast form and followed behind.
Zuyang came over and said, "Priest Yun, I've looked in the valley, but there doesn't seem to be any grass or fruit left."
Xie Yunsui glanced sideways: "There may be no fruits growing on the ground or on trees, but I have seen fruits growing underground."
Zuyang's eyes lit up. He knew there was a kind of sweet root that grew underground. It didn't taste very good, but it had a sweet taste when chewed carefully. However, it was a wild grass root that only grew after the snow season and was usually gone during the thunderstorm season.
It was discovered by the tribesmen by accident.
Priest Yun knows everything and must know more foods than him.
Zuyang had no more questions, so Xie Yunsui turned to Chiyu and asked, "Do you have any questions?"
Chi Yu looked worried, but didn't ask anything. He just followed him.
The valley is very large. Xie Yunsui has drawn the entire picture. The two high mountains are sandwiched between the valley, forming the shape of a fish.
The entrance of the valley is the fish mouth. The caves where they lived before and the places where they were active were all in the fish head area. The further they went in, the wider the valley became, the higher the terrain became, and the covering snow obscured the terrain. Chi Yu and Zu Yang appeared very restrained when exploring the valley.
Zuyang was sweeping the snow on the ground with a long wooden stick when he suddenly twisted his foot and fell to the ground, dizzy and dazed.
"Ouch." Zuyang cried out.
Chi Yu heard the sound and went to help him. He caught a glimpse of a green spot under the snow and asked, "Is this a blade of grass?"
Zuyang didn't care about the pain in his feet, and hurried to look, digging away the upper layer of snow, revealing the crushed green feathery grass leaves.
"It's grass leaves. It should be edible grass leaves."
This is a kind of grass leaf that Zuyang has never seen before. He has a set of methods to determine whether the grass leaves in the wild are edible. Generally, leaves like this one that are broad and have no burrs are mostly edible. The rest is a matter of taste. The grass leaves in front of him don't look bad in taste.
Xie Yunsui stood behind them and saw that they hadn't noticed the radish underground. He couldn't help but remind them: "Dig it out with the grass roots and take a look."
Zuyang and Chiyu went to dig up the grass roots. After digging the soil, they found swollen fleshy roots underground.
Xie Yunsui spoke up at the right moment: "I think I've seen this kind of fruit...it seems to be called radish. Both the leaves and the roots are edible."
The two of them absolutely trusted Priest Yun's words. Zuyang immediately took a bite of the green leaves and said, "...It's edible."
His expression was a little awkward, so Chi Yu asked him, "Is it unpalatable?"
"It has a taste of bitter grass and red berries, but it's very subtle."
Chi Yu's expression is hard to describe. Bitter grass is a kind of grass that tastes only bitter. Even sub-humans don't like to eat it. Generally, they will only eat it when there is really nothing else to eat. The red fruit tastes very pungent. Your mouth will hurt for a while after eating it. If you eat too much, your stomach will also hurt.
This grass leaf actually has two unpalatable food flavors, which is twice as unpalatable.
Xie Yunsui dug out the red fruit they were talking about from his memory. It turned out to be Cornus officinalis, and it actually had a spicy taste.
Since he had eaten the dogwood fruit, he should be able to accept the spicy taste of the radish. Xie Yunsui said no more.
In the snow and ice, as long as it is edible, no matter how unpalatable it is, you must bring it back.
They pulled out a radish, one as thick as an orc's calf, and were delighted. Then they turned over all the radishes in the area.
Xie Yunsui didn't pay attention when he was sowing seeds at night, but now he found that there were more than a hundred seeds. He thought it should be enough for everyone to eat for a while.
Pulling and transporting radishes takes time and effort. Xie Yunsui did not let the two subhumans do this work, and led them to continue moving forward.
On the way to look for sweet potatoes, Xie Yunsui discovered a bamboo forest, where each bamboo stalk was about as thick as a bowl.
I don't know where the birds came from, but the bamboo rice they ate fell here and grew in the corners of the place.
As soon as he saw bamboo, Xie Yunsui thought of bamboo baskets, bamboo baskets, bamboo tubes, bamboo mats, bamboo charcoal, bamboo shoots... and couldn't help but smile.
There should be no bamboo shoots now, so Xie Yunsui marked the location of the bamboo first and would come back when he had free time.
While digging sweet potatoes, Zuyang went crazy again.
He had never seen sweet potatoes. In fact, because the Western Continent is separated from other continents and lacks communication and interaction, the species must not be that rich.
There are crops similar to sweet potatoes in other continents. Xie Yunsui just said that he had seen them in Central Continent, and the two subhumans had no doubts.
Seeing Chi Yu and Zu Yang digging sweet potatoes frantically, Xie Yunsui was thinking about how to propose the activity of picking durian without being noticeable.
"Priest Yun, are there some fruit trees halfway up the mountain?"
When Chi Yu looked up to rest, he suddenly saw a durian tree in the distance.
Xie Yunsui immediately responded: "Yes, there are fruits on it. I'll go over and take a look."
As soon as you walk under the durian tree, you can smell the fruity fragrance of ripe durian.
It may not be so fragrant to Chi Yu.
He saw these fruit trees and followed them with the mentality that it would be good to see more kinds of food.
Chi Yu said: "...these fruits should have gone bad."
Xie Yunsui said, "It smells like it's not bad. I'll go up and pick it up and take a look."
Chi Yu wanted to say something but stopped himself, not sure whether he had smelled it wrong or whether Priest Yun had an unusual sense of smell.
Xie Yunsui hesitated for a moment looking at the tree full of fruits.
Generally, a durian tree can produce three to four hundred fruits. However, if all of them grow, it will consume too much nutrients and the branches will not be able to support them. Therefore, growers will deal with the small fruits in advance, leaving only a few fruits on a branch.
Last night was dark and windy, and Xie Yunsui only thought about inducing the birth as soon as possible, without considering these things, because all the energy absorbed was from the wood crystal core. The fruits grew full and hung on the branches, and the fruits at the bottom even bent the branches.
Having lots of fruits is a good thing, but the problem is that these fruits are heavy and big, and there are sharp thorns on the surface of the durian. If the person who catches it is not careful, he will be seriously injured.
Xie Yunsui swept Chi Yu's frail little body and the elderly Zuyang aside, neither of them were suitable candidates to receive the fruit.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll pick one or two and take them home to see if they're edible. If they're edible, everyone can come over and get some."
Chi Yu also thought so. He felt that the fruit must be rotten because it was so obviously smelly.
At noon, everyone went back to the cave to eat.
Hu Ji was quick and had already dealt with the small Luo Luo beast and a big Luo Luo. He did not divide the processed meat pieces for the time being and asked Hou Shu to roast the meat while he was roasting the wood.
So when we came back at noon, everyone could get a big piece of roasted meat.
Shi Yan and the four demihumans spent the whole morning collecting a lot of ice, but they piled it all up by the lake, planning to bring it back in the afternoon.
Xier and his companions have already carried back five large stones, each of which is as tall as a person.
Everyone sat by the fire excitedly talking about their tasks, except for Xier who was eating absentmindedly and looking outside from time to time.
"Priest Yun and the others are in the valley. It's okay. They might be back soon." Hu Zhao said from the side.
Xier chewed two pieces of meat to fill his stomach. Just as he was about to go out to find Xie Yunsui, he saw three figures walking back not far away.
Xier rushed out in a flash.
"Be good." Xie Yunsui and Xier put their heads close together, holding durian and sweet potatoes in their hands, and had no time to touch him.
"Zuyang sprained his ankle, you carry him on your back."
Zuyang couldn't refuse because his foot problem had already slowed down Priest Yun and Chi Yu's return.
After returning to the cave, everyone looked at the several kinds of food in Xie Yunsui and Chi Yu's hands, and showed surprise.
Among the seventeen of them, only four were orcs, and the rest were subhumans. Subhumans needed foods such as vegetables and fruits to supplement their nutrition and energy.
"What's this?"
"Are these edible? The fruits are huge and we can eat them for a long time."
"Hmm...why does it smell a bit?"
"Hmm? What? I smell something delicious."
Except for Xier, the other three orcs with keen sense of smell have retreated deep into the cave.
Six pairs of big eyes stared at the two thorny fruits in Priest Yun's hand, and a stench that could suffocate a cat came over them.
Hu Zhao retched twice on the spot.
Xie Yunsui: ...Miscalculated.
He retreated to the cave entrance and said, "This is the fruit tree Chi Yu discovered. It's full of fruit. I picked two and brought them back to see if they're edible."
Chi Yu was very embarrassed: "If Priest Yun hasn't seen it either, it should be inedible..."
"Just try it, what if it's edible?"
Half the people in the cave had wrinkled faces.
Priest Yun carried the fruit to the entrance of the cave. The smell in the cave was indeed not as rich, but from time to time the wind brought in the smell of fruit, which caused the stench to drift in in waves, which seemed more uncomfortable than facing the smell of fruit directly.
The remaining half of the people, including Zuyang who sprained his ankle, thought that the fruit was very fragrant, with a special fruity aroma. As soon as they smelled it, they thought that the fruit must be very delicious.
Hou Shu, who had spent a long time roasting wood and inhaling smoke, came forward to help: "How do you eat this fruit?"
Xie Yunsui said, "I didn't notice it when I dropped it from the tree. There are a few cracks here, and you can see the flesh inside. I guess I need to break open the shell to get the flesh."
After studying it for a while, several people finally broke the durian into a few petals. The aroma of the flesh inside became more and more fragrant. Hou Shu felt it was so sweet just by smelling it that he couldn't help swallowing his saliva again and again.
This is a new thing after all. After looking at it for a while, no one dared to try it.
Xie Yunsui decided to be the first to try a piece of durian meat so that everyone could accept that it was a wonderful food as soon as possible.
Zuyang stopped him and said, "Priest Yun, let me taste it first."
Not only the Herbivorous Tribal Alliance, but several other tribes also have an unwritten custom. Once they encounter a new type of food or wild animal meat that they have never eaten before, the oldest and weakest person in the tribe will eat it first to test the poison on himself.
Xie Yunsui handed him a piece, but still took a bite of the piece in his hand. He smiled at Zuyang's incredulous gaze and said, "I think it's edible. Let's eat it together."
Xier was not willing to be left behind and patted Xie Yunsui's leg with his paw: "I want to eat one too."
Zuyang and Xier tasted the durian one after another. The ripe durian had a rich aroma, and the flesh was dense and delicate, very sweet. The man and the cat widened their eyes instantly.
"tasty!"
“Ahhh!”
Hou Shu and several other demihumans finally couldn't bear it anymore. They each picked up a piece of durian flesh and were amazed at how delicious it was the moment they ate it.
"What a sweet fruit."
“It’s so delicious, I want to eat it every day.”
Zuyang heard this and said, "We can eat for a long time. The fruit trees over there are full of fruits. There are so many fruits on some trees that we can't eat them all!"
"Great! This way, we won't have to worry about having no food during this snow season."
At this time, the tribe's subhumans still adopted the attitude of collecting wild-grown grass leaves and fruits at any time. The taste of many fruits that had not been artificially intervened was very free. The durian that Xie Yunsui urged to grow was basically the ceiling of the deliciousness of wild fruits in Western Continent.
They were so dazzled by the durian that no one paid attention to the sweet potatoes and radishes.
Xie Yunsui had to get back to the point and tell them that sweet potatoes could be roasted over a fire, and radishes could be eaten raw, or boiled if there was a pot.
"Okay, okay."
"Hmmmm."
How to eat is no longer important; everyone just wants to fill the cave with food.
-
The wind grew stronger in the afternoon, and there were often sharp whistling sounds in the valley, which suddenly scared people.
Everyone quickened their work and went out to work after dinner.
Xier and others would be done if they moved three more big stones, and Shi Yan and others would be done if they brought back the ice. After Hu Ji finished dissecting the Luo Luo beast, he came to help pull out the radishes and dig out the sweet potatoes, and then carry them to the cave one trip at a time.
Zuyang, due to a foot injury, took over Houshu's job of roasting wood. He sat by the fire, building up the wet wood like building blocks, and turning over the sweet potatoes hidden in the ashes underneath with a small wooden stick.
There is a hint of sweetness in the smoky smell, which is different from the sweetness of durian. It is as tempting as honey.
There is so much food hidden in this valley.
Zuyang thought, this is not a place abandoned by the Beast God, it is clearly a place favored by the Beast God!
Hou Shu was busy cleaning up several neighboring caves. Priest Yun said that except for the cave at the edge which would be used to meet everyone's physiological needs during the snowy season, the other caves should be used to store food.
While everyone else was busy, Xie Yunsui came to the durian tree alone and started using black technology to move the durian down.
There were too many durians and everyone couldn’t finish them all in a short time, but if they were left on the tree, they would be blown away by the wind and snow.
Fortunately, it is the snow season and the temperature outside is below zero all year round. We can use ice to make a few freezers and freeze the durian meat. This will extend the shelf life and give it a different taste.
They can even eat frozen raw meat, so a delicacy like frozen durian shouldn't upset their stomach, right?
Never mind. He has used more than a dozen crystal cores, and none of these durians can be wasted!
Xier, Shi Yan and others who had finished their work joined the moving army before it got dark.
Everyone started moving, like tireless little squirrels, trying to carry the food back to the cave.
The first cave is filled with turnips.
The second cave was filled with sweet potatoes.
In the three caves behind, durians are piled up into small hills.
They worked until dark, and completed the last trip of moving work by the light of torches.
Xie Yunsui originally thought that the work would take one or two days to complete, but with everyone's concerted efforts, it was completed in just one afternoon.
——I should have planted something else earlier.
After exploring nearly half of the valley today, there was indeed no other food visible to the naked eye, which prevented Xie Yunsui from doing anything else tonight.
He glanced at several caves and felt that this amount of food was enough for the winter.
At least we can get through this snowy period safely.
Back at the big cave, everyone's faces were full of smiles. After Zuyang took out a dozen roasted sweet potatoes, the atmosphere in the cave reached a climax.
Xie Yunsui took one for Xier, peeled off the burnt shell, and the aroma inside hit him. Xier couldn't wait to take a bite. It was so hot that he wanted to vomit but couldn't bear to. He kept it in his mouth for a while before he could taste the soft and sweet flavor.
Both are fragrant and sweet, but the taste is different from durian. After eating it, I feel warm in my heart.
It seems that in such windy weather, we should gather around the fire and eat hot roasted sweet potatoes.
"Fruit as sweet as honey!"
"It's so delicious. I actually ate two sweet foods today."
"In the past, even during the thaw season and harvest season in the tribe, we couldn't eat such delicious food."
"What about radishes? Are radishes as delicious as this?"
Some people couldn't resist trying the radish. Seeing someone trying to throw the radish into the fire to roast it, Xie Yunsui quickly reached out to stop them: "Peel off the skin and eat it directly."
There is a lot of mud on the radish skin. There is no condition to wash it here, so just eat the skin less.
Several demi-humans peeled the skin, revealing the white and moist "flesh" inside. They first gave half of it to Priest Yun, and then tried it themselves - Priest Yun said it was edible, so there was no need to test for poison.
Take a bite, it's crisp, refreshing and juicy.
Luo Bai said: "This fruit is very juicy and very thirst-quenching."
After saying this, he looked towards Priest Yun with even more respect.
It turns out that when they were in the Golden Tiger Tribe, the priests would also discover foods that had never been seen before for the tribe, but those foods were barely edible and would not necessarily fill the stomach after eating.
As a subhuman who has spent more than a dozen snow seasons in a large collective cave, Luo Bai is more concerned about the practicality of the fruit rather than its deliciousness.
Sweet potatoes help fight hunger, and radishes quench thirst.
It's much more comfortable than eating a basket of grass leaves.
Luo Bai felt that if the abilities of priests also varied like those of orc warriors, the priests of the Golden Tiger Tribe would be like orcs who had just reached adulthood, while the Cloud Priest should be the most courageous orc warrior.
He didn't know that the durian he discovered today had the title of the king of fruits in other worlds. It was high in sugar and calories, and was rich in carbohydrates, protein, and fat. It was also rich in vitamins and other trace elements. In the orcs' single diet structure, durian was definitely a king-level nutritional product.
Tonight, the orcs and demihumans all ate until their bellies were full.
It is worth mentioning that the orcs and demihumans who were very resistant to durian during the day, after struggling for food for an afternoon, all reflected silently.
They were driven out of the tribe because of lack of food. Now that they have found a kind of food, are they going to give up eating it just because it smells bad?
The amount of durian fruit is greater than that of sweet potatoes and radishes. Do they really have to give up this kind of food?
What's more, there are other people who enjoy the delicious smell and taste the delicious food.
So at night, they bravely tried a small piece and were captivated by durian.
Wow! Delicious! So fragrant!
Sure enough, there is no food that is not delicious if it is certified by Priest Yun!
Xie Yunsui met everyone's sparkling eyes and felt that they seemed to have misunderstood something.
But it’s not a big problem, as long as it doesn’t delay him from doing his work.
The days are short and the nights are long, and it would be a waste of time to sleep right after eating. Xie Yunsui simply asked Xier to carry some large stones half a person's height to make a few stone pots.
As for stone pots, they were available in the tribe and the orcs had all seen them. People like Shi Yan and Hu Ji had made them themselves when they were young. There was no problem with the technique and they were strong enough, so they took over the job.
Xie Yunsui said, "There are many big fish in that river. When we have eaten all the laolao beasts and have no more meat, we can catch some fish and make fish soup. Add radish to the fish soup and it will taste delicious."
People who have lived in large collective caves all have a resistance to "fish" and would never eat any other food. However, out of trust in Priest Yun, they still reluctantly look forward to it.
The main thing is the radish in the fish soup. Priest Yun said that the taste is different from raw radish. It melts in your mouth, which is quite exciting.
The orcs were working on polishing the stone pots, and the demi-humans were not idle either. One group worked hard to peel out the durian flesh, while another group followed Xie Yunsui at the entrance of the cave to make a few freezers.
The ice was very thick, and the selected ice cubes were all square. In a short while, three freezers were made, which were half a person's height and had a space of about one cubic meter inside.
While working, everyone talks from time to time, even if it is just a small matter. The person talking is happy and the person listening is serious.
It is much closer than in the Golden Tiger Tribe, where everyone sleeps after eating and just lives together.
What Xie Yunsui didn't expect was that he could hear gossip about the alien consciousness from their mouths.
"His name is Yi Han. Shitu picked him up from the back mountain. He should be a demihuman."
"I heard that Yi Han was assigned to form a bond with an old orc in his original tribe, but he didn't want to be in the bond, so he ran away."
"I don't know which tribe actually made young demihumans and old orcs form a pact. They can't have children."
"But a demihuman was allowed to leave the tribe, and no one came to look for him?"
"Maybe it's a demihuman from the Great Bear Tribe. They just finished beating us, and Yihan Shitu picked up the demihuman."
"Unlike the Big Bear tribe, if they can't find anyone, they will probably keep looking. Besides, they attacked our tribe and only stole food and wood, not people."
…
Xie Yunsui listened quietly. It is said that gossip can make people think. At this moment, it was hard to tell that everyone was usually honest, obedient and focused on their work.
It can be heard that Yi Han, as an alien consciousness, mostly fabricated his identity from novels such as Runaway Wife, and the fabrication was not rigorous enough - there are not many tribes in Western Continent, and anyone who is interested can eliminate them one by one to prove that he is not a local.
What Xie Yunsui was more concerned about was the Big Bear Tribe that frequently appeared in the topic. Did everyone seem to hate the Big Bear Tribe?
"Does the Big Bear Tribe come back to fight you every snow season?"
At this point, Shi Yan's face was filled with indignation: "The Big Bear Tribe is full of warmongers! Not just Xue Ji, they'll pick a fight with any tribe if they think of it!"
Twenty snow seasons ago, the Lion Tribe still existed alone. However, because they were too close to the Big Bear Tribe, they were harassed by them from time to time. Also, due to the strong brute force and defense of the orcs of the Big Bear Tribe, the Lion Tribe was defeated repeatedly and finally had to merge into the Golden Tiger Tribe.
There is another important reason. The priest of the Big Bear Tribe is an orc and is the most warlike.
In the season when wild beasts frequently appeared, he would lead the orcs in the tribe to fight the wild beasts. In the snowy season when wild beasts were less active, he would harass the various tribes on the Western Continent.
Twenty years ago, although the tribes would have disputes over who should own the materials at the border of their territories, they mostly interacted occasionally and shared the concept of co-existence, until a new priest came to the Big Bear Tribe.
Now, except for the Big Bear Tribe, all other tribes in the Western Continent have become much more introverted. Even the Black Eagle Tribe of the Lord of the Sky dares not fly over the Big Bear Tribe.
Hu Ji sighed in sympathy and said, "The orcs of the Great Bear Tribe seem to be getting stronger and stronger. This year, they even brought their cubs out to fight. Their cubs are indeed becoming stronger and stronger."
This is not a good sign. The cubs are strong and will become even more brave when they grow up.
Maybe after a few more snow seasons, when this group of cubs of the Big Bear Tribe grow up, even if all the orc warriors of other tribes in the Western Continent are combined, they will not be able to defeat them.
-
Xie Yunsui and Xier returned to their cave and blocked most of the entrance with a large rock.
Xier jumped up and down twice to keep warm. Seeing the worried look on the Yaman's face, he asked, "Are you worried that the Big Bear Tribe will attack us?"
Xie Yunsui smiled and said, "We are deep in the redwood forest. As long as no abandoned orcs from the Big Bear Tribe come here, they won't find us."
Xier was puzzled: "Are you worried that we won't have enough food?"
"No, there's enough food for us to get through this snowstorm."
"But you're not happy."
Xie Yunsui was surprised at his sharpness and was stunned the next second.
Xier really didn't know how to make his partner happy. He only knew that his partner loved to touch him, especially at night when he was sleeping. When she moved his fur, she couldn't help but kiss him.
Xi Erfu was so shocked that he immediately collapsed to the ground, stretched his body, and revealed his extremely soft abdomen. The fur here was even more comfortable...
When it comes to pleasing his partner, Xier has a unique external charm.
Who can resist touching a kitten lying in front of you with its belly exposed?
Xie Yunsui pounced on Xier without thinking and started sucking the big cat madly.
He didn't expect that he had been pretending to be serious in the previous worlds, but he suddenly failed in this world.
It’s not his fault. It’s because the fluffy stuff is so good to absorb. I feel like all the fatigue in my body has disappeared.
He was indeed worried, but what he was worried about was the fundamental reason why the Big Bear Tribe became more and more courageous in battle - they were seeking evolution through fighting.
The Orc Continent is full of spiritual energy, and absorbing spiritual energy and evolving is the ultimate goal of every biological population on the Orc Continent.
The evolved orc warriors will infinitely stimulate the energy in their blood, not only becoming stronger but also prolonging their lifespan.
If you want to evolve, besides consuming rare treasures and breaking through that critical point, you have to keep fighting to increase your strength.
The Western Continent is the most backward of the Orc Continents. It seems that the priest of the Big Bear Tribe was someone who knew the "evolution channel" in his original continent, and perhaps he had even seen evolved orc warriors with his own eyes. After accidentally stranded in the Western Continent, he found that the people here didn't even know what evolution was, so he mobilized the orcs of the tribe to fight frequently, wanting to create a strong tribe with his own hands.
Perhaps the orcs of the Big Bear Tribe were puzzled at first, but when the benefits of obtaining more prey, becoming stronger, and obtaining the supplies accumulated by other tribes without spending time entered a virtuous circle, these orcs would not obey even if the priest shouted to stop.
While moving the cat, Xie Yunsui gave his analysis.
Xier was confused: "So, they will continue to attack the Golden Tiger Tribe and other tribes in the future?"
"Um."
Xier was sad: "If this continues, many people will die every snow season."
Xier judged others by himself. The reason why they were abandoned by the Golden Tiger Tribe was because the Big Bear Tribe killed and injured their orc warriors and robbed them of the supplies they needed to survive the snow season. If the Golden Tiger Tribe was in such a state, let alone other tribes.
There were also deeper negative consequences, but Xie Yunsui left them aside for now. He said, "If we want to stop them, we need orc warriors more powerful than them to appear."
"Is this the evolved warrior you mentioned?"
"Yes, one evolved warrior can defeat ten giant bear orcs."
Xier's face showed longing: "I want to become an evolution warrior!"
Xie Yunsui polished a wooden comb and used it to comb his hair, saying, "That's very difficult. It requires a lot of hardship."
Xier shouted: "I'm not afraid!"
"Okay then." Xie Yunsui chuckled and said, "If you want to become an evolved warrior, you must first take good care of your body. Did you eat less tonight?"
Xier suddenly felt guilty. In the evening, everyone was given sweet potatoes, radishes, and Luo Luo beasts.
Xie Yunsui had obviously disliked meat these days and didn't eat much at every meal. Xier thought he didn't like meat, but when he saw him eating sweet potatoes and radishes, he wanted to leave his food for him. He only took the first bite of the sweet potato to taste it.
He thought he was hiding it very secretly.
Xie Yunsui saw it all, but didn't confront him directly. In fact, he just wanted to take out the durian and said, "You gave me the sweet potatoes and radishes, so I'll give you the durian. Frozen durian is too cold. I'll get a stomachache if I eat it."
What he took out was the kind of durian that Xiaoxi had eaten in the previous worlds, a kind that contained energy.
Xier couldn't tell the difference between the two, but when he heard his partner say that eating it would give him a stomachache, he naturally wanted to share the pain with his partner.
Late at night, Xie Yunsui felt relieved when he sensed that the cat blanket under him was gradually absorbing weak energy.
The next day, the sky was even darker.
Because all the food had been stored yesterday, Xie Yunsui only asked people to cut the bamboo today.
Use a stone axe to cut off the bamboo joints exposed on the ground, leaving the roots to regenerate during the ice melt season.
He took three orcs, Xierhuzhao and Shiyan, to get charcoal.
“Is this charcoal?”
The three orcs asked as they looked at the black mass taken out of the cave.
This looks very much like wood chips left after burning wood, which cannot be burned at all. The wood chips in the cave were collected by them and used to bury feces.
Xie Yunsui knocked two pieces of charcoal in his hands, and nodded in satisfaction after hearing the crisp sound.
"I'll tell you how to make charcoal later. The weather is bad today, so let's move the charcoal back early."
Xie Yunsui asked Hu Zhao and Shi Yan to go find some tree bark nearby, as the charcoal was too brittle to be tied up with vines and taken away.
Xier helped to dig open the other two charcoal kiln openings, and Xie Yunsui quietly replaced some charcoal in them - after only burning for half a day, the oxygen was isolated, causing the wood in the innermost part to not burn, and only the wood at the entrance turned into charcoal.
Xier suddenly raised his head and sniffed the air, as if he smelled something.
After a while, he confirmed: "Yun Sui, there is someone there!"
He pointed in a direction and Xie Yunsui looked in that direction, but didn't see anyone.
Soon, Hu Zhao and Shi Yan, who were looking for tree bark outside, came back. They also smelled a strange scent.
The difference was that Shi Yan was experienced and could already smell it: "It's the scent of adult wolf beastmen, five or six of them."
