Chapter 116 Primitive Orcs 13
Xie Yunsui rejected Hu Jiao's suggestion to lead the way. If he were to go to the Red Fox Tribe, he would definitely bring Xier and Langfeng so that they could travel quickly.
When it comes to trading salt, the wolf orcs are also very experienced.
The fragrant fish soup was boiled until the fish meat was melted, and the fish bones were fished out. The radish was filled with the aroma of the fish meat without a trace of bitterness.
Everyone has refreshed their understanding of fish. It turns out that there really is fish that is not fishy, smelly, bitter, or pungent.
"Compared to the Lolomon carrot soup, I still prefer fish carrot soup."
"I like them all, they're all meat!"
"Let's go catch some fish tomorrow. The fish is really delicious."
After dinner, Xie Yunsui led everyone to review counting as usual.
Some time ago, they accidentally talked about how long it would take for the snow season to end. To Xie Yunsui's surprise, Hu Jiao actually knew.
The Red Fox Tribe already has its own writing system and recording methods, often using human hands.
One finger is one, ten ones plus a bundle is a string, and the entire snow season is two tens.
The details were a bit complicated, so Xie Yunsui borrowed the theory of the Red Fox Tribe and taught them to count twenty numbers.
Each tribe here speaks a different animal language, and the Red Fox Tribe's writing system has not been widely spread. Xie Yunsui simply smuggled his own ideas in and did whatever was convenient for him.
Calculating the time, there are still about two months until the end of the snow season.
There are four seasons in the Orc Continent, which are somewhat similar to the spring, summer, autumn and winter that Xie Yunsui is familiar with. Here they are called the ice melting season, thunderstorm season, harvest season and snow season.
The thunderstorm season and snow season last very long, almost two hundred days.
The ice melt season and harvest season only last one hundred days.
The two-month snow season is neither long nor short. It is estimated that there will be a period of wind and snow later. Xie Yunsui calculated the food reserves and prepared to take the orcs out to look for prey tomorrow.
Wild animals don't like to go out during the snowy season and prefer to sleep in their dens.
Xie Yunsui didn't plan to bring many people with him, so he just named Xier and Langfeng, and the purpose of this trip was to find prey.
The rest of the people were also assigned various tasks at home.
Li Ya went to make charcoal anyway and sent a wolf orc to help chop wood.
Ice harvesting and fishing must continue to serve as a supplement to meat until the prey is caught.
The stone knives they used had a high wear rate, so they had to go to the fallen rocks and bring back some stones.
There were three or four people left, and Xie Yunsui arranged for them to work on the clay - the pottery jars had to be made.
-
"Exchange the Charm System for 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes."
"The Charming System requests an exchange for 100 kilograms of potatoes."
"The Heartthrob System requests an exchange for hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs."
Three consecutive transaction messages woke Xie Yunsui up. He glanced at the burning fire and found that it was late at night.
Doesn’t this alien consciousness sleep at night?
Xie Yunsui turned over and immersed himself in the Wanjie Shop. He had already completed a transaction of sweet potatoes. Xie Yunsui saw that there were still a lot of sweet potatoes left, but he ignored them.
I asked the little bee to help put 100 kilograms of potatoes on the shelf, and then looked at the last transaction information.
Stop bleeding and reduce inflammation?
Is it the host who is injured, or is it the person around Yi Han who is injured?
Xie Yunsui pondered for a moment, then put herbs, finished medicines, and compound western medicines on the shelves. Of course, based on the technological level of this world, herbs were the cheapest, and the latter two were priced from low to high.
The energy value of the finished potion is 500, which is neither high nor low.
The next second, Xie Yunsui saw that the hemostatic agent had been sold, but the 100 kilograms of potatoes were still there.
Xie Yunsui raised his eyebrows. How serious was the injury?
Golden Tiger Tribe.
Yi Han hid a bottle of potion that did not belong to this world in his animal skin clothes and quietly left Shitu's cave.
The system was confused. "It's normal for orcs to fight each other to win the favor of the subhumans. It's also normal to get injured. It's just a little bleeding. With the orcs' recovery ability, they will heal quickly."
Yi Han said with a straight face: "He was injured for me, so it is my responsibility to heal him."
At this point, a trace of disgust flashed across Yi Han's face. "The priests here are so poorly qualified. I know that wounds must be kept clean and sterile, otherwise they will get infected. He actually used saliva-soaked herbal paste to smear on Hu Yuan's wound. It's disgusting to watch."
System: "This is the tradition of the Orc Continent. This is how they treat it."
Yi Han: "Now that I'm here, and I have a golden finger like you, of course I can't use this backward treatment method anymore."
System: "This potion is very expensive. You shouldn't buy it. There are still two months until the end of the snow season. One hundred sweet potatoes are not enough."
Yi Han bit her lip: "...Didn't you say Hu Yuan likes me very much? Then I will continue to capture him, and I will have more energy."
System: "It's good if you can let it go."
-
Wolf Wind sniffed the cold air, trying to find the scent of wild beasts contained in it.
Xie Yunsui carved a mark on the tree and asked, "Has your tribe ever hunted here before?"
As soon as Xier heard this, he knew that he was not being asked, as he had never gone hunting with the tribe before.
Lang Feng thought for a moment and said, "Our tribe is a bit far from the Redwood Forest, so we don't usually come here to hunt. This is the territory of the Golden Tiger Tribe, and the Big Bear Tribe also often comes here looking for prey."
"Have you seen all the prey on the Western Continent?"
"How is that possible?" Lang Feng shook his head. "There are many wild beasts in the Western Continent. We can't catch them all. During the ice melt season and the harvest season, our tribe only needs to hunt two or three wild beasts every day to eat."
The orc tribe spends the entire winter loving and caring for each other, but there may not be many newborn cubs next year.
However, the wild beasts reproduce very quickly, often with four or five babies in one litter. They grow very fast and are impossible to catch or eat.
Xie Yunsui understood. Each tribe basically only focused on the wild animals at their doorstep. They would go out every two days to catch a few and bring back enough to eat.
He asked Xier to describe the wild animals that the Golden Tiger Tribe had eaten. When he heard about a breed similar to a cow, he raised his eyebrows.
"We've been searching for a long time, basically covering a large area around the valley. This is such a waste of time. Let's set up a few traps," said Xie Yunsui.
"Trap?" Xier tilted his head.
Lang Feng also expressed his incomprehension.
"It's very simple. Let's dig a big hole first..."
With the help of Xier and Langfeng, they quickly dug a pit big enough for an adult Luo Luo beast. Xie Yunsui broke off a lot of branches, sharpened both ends, and stuck one end into the mud under the pit.
There are about ten spikes in a big pit, taking full care of every little cutie who accidentally falls in.
The pit is supported by thin wooden branches, then covered with snow piles to level it, and a durian shell is hung on the branches above the snow piles.
Durian shells have a strong smell, and if there are wild animals passing by, they will always attract one or two.
There's no technical content involved, it's simply about watching the wild beasts in the forest, who haven't experienced the harshness of society, and can't see through the ruse.
Lang Feng walked away and looked at it, and found that the snow nearby was deep in some places and shallow in others, with obvious traces of creatures having been there. However, the specific location of the trap could not be seen without careful observation. He had just dug the pit himself, and now he was not sure where the snow was exactly.
Even if there was no durian shell hanging on it, he would probably fall in if he just walked by.
Lang Feng, who had been accustomed to relying on physical confrontation for many years, suddenly felt as if the door to a new world had opened.
There is actually such a hunting method!
Next, Lang Feng began to dig pits and set traps in all directions around the valley almost frantically, perfectly replicating the first version, and began to look forward to capturing wild beasts.
Xier, on the other hand, was a little unsure: "We're all gone, and there's no one watching. What if the beast falls in and doesn't die, but runs away again?"
Xie Yunsui said, "It doesn't matter. They are injured and will bleed. The bloodstains are very conspicuous on the white snow, and we can track down their hiding place."
Xier and Langfeng: "Oh~~~~"
Learned it!!!
The next day, Xie Yunsui was harassed by Xier and Langfeng, so he took them to see the traps. There were eight traps, and only one of the first seven was triggered.
Xie Yunsui looked at the burrowing beast inside that died with its eyes open, and felt guilty for showing up. It would have been better if he was a little bigger.
It's small, and doesn't have much hair. Only the horns on its head look pretty hard. Can they be used as weapons or tools?
Xier and Langfeng stubbornly went to the last trap, determined to see them all.
Xie Yunsui sighed. Wild animals don’t come out to move around during the snowy season, so how could they catch so much food in one day?
Seeing that they were about to reach the last trap, Xie Yunsui held a wind crystal core in his hand to activate the energy.
A strange strong wind blew, blowing up the snow on the ground, disrupting the pace of Wolf Wind and Xier, and soon dispersed.
Lang Feng looked at the sky and pondered for a while. It didn't look like it was going to snow.
Xier lowered his body and told Xie Yunsui: "Hold on to my fur tightly." Then he slowly walked towards the trap.
Now that we are here, we can’t give up.
"Roar! Roar!" Xier saw a piece of snow on the trap being lifted up and jumped up happily: "Triggered!"
Xie Yunsui jumped down sideways, stepped forward first, and took advantage of the cover of snow to put two cows into the trap.
Xier and Langfeng were happily digging at the snow and could already see the prey under the trap.
Two beasts as big as small lols!
I can eat food for several days again!
Xier said, "Wow, this trap is really powerful."
Langfeng: "As expected of you, you are the Cloud Priest."
Xie Yunsui: "..."
He looked away and coughed softly, "Let's get this cow...moo beast out."
Everyone in the valley was very happy because they had captured two new Moo Beasts. Tiger Shrimp even clung to the stone wall to sharpen its claws, ready to start the dissection!
"Moo Beast? I don't think I've seen one before."
"Whatever, as long as it's edible, I know Priest Yun."
"Yes, that's right. Everything Priest Yun knows is delicious!"
"Wolfwind said this Moo Beast was caught in a trap set by the Cloud Priest. The orcs don't even have to hunt it themselves. They just have to wait and there's meat to eat!"
"Ouch! Really? The Cloud Priest is amazing!"
“…”
Xie Yunsui couldn't stand it anymore and hid in his little cave to seek some peace and quiet.
Hu Jiao found Xie Yunsui and said with a smile, "We have used up all the bamboo. During this time, we have woven ten large bamboo baskets, twenty small bamboo baskets, fifteen bamboo baskets, and eighteen bamboo baskets."
Hu Jiao was the fastest and most serious learner of the new numbers taught by Priest Yun, and was therefore assigned by Xie Yunsui to calculate materials.
Xie Yunsui: "That's enough. These are enough for everyone. When you go out to collect things in the future, use these to carry them."
Li Ya's charcoal should have burned successfully, right?
There are also baskets for charcoal.
Or maybe I should take a batch to the Red Fox Tribe to exchange for salt tomorrow.
