Chapter 16: The Succession of the Predecessors
Bai Yue didn't know what the senior who looked like a time traveler was feeling when he wrote those words on the animal skin paper, but her current mood could not be described at all with words.
How could someone write on a whole piece of parchment all about food and drink?
After reading it, before he even looked up, he heard Elder Baishui's impatient question.
"Bai Yue female, what's written on it?"
Bai Yue wanted to answer directly, but when she raised her eyes, she met his eager gaze.
The answer was more euphemistic: "It's about some daily records, there's no useful information."
I thought this answer would make the other party very disappointed, but the result was just the opposite.
Not only did the other person not look disappointed, he even smiled, revealing his gums which had very few teeth.
"You understood the words above! You understood! Finally someone understood—"
As he said this, he shouted and left the cave, summoning the orcs still in the tribe to come and participate in the sacrifice.
Sacrifice is a ritual in the orc world to express gratitude to the beast god.
Bai Yue, who was left standing, was confused as she held the animal skin paper. What happened? Did she drive an elder crazy with just one sentence?
She didn't know what was wrong with Elder Baishui, and Elder Baishui didn't know what she was thinking.
They just kept shouting about offering sacrifices and thanking the Beast God for the gifts he had given to the White Fox Tribe.
The so-called sacrifice is actually similar to the modern bonfire party, where people hold hands and dance around the fire.
Humming a ballad that Bai Yue had never heard before.
“asawusala...”
“asawula...”
The singing is ethereal, bizarre, and a little strange, like a clear spring flowing in a mountain stream, or like moonlight shining on a quiet lake, passing through the mist and skimming over the water, clear and ethereal.
Suddenly, fireflies flew around, flickering in the darkness following the singing, until they disappeared into the nameless distance.
Bai Yue only felt that her soul was floating along the singing to a place she had never been to.
It was a vast expanse of land. You couldn't see the sky when you looked up, and you couldn't see the ground when you looked down. You felt like you were hanging in the air.
She stretched out her hand to touch it, but received nothing.
Just when Bai Yue didn't know what to do next, a transparent and slender figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
"You're here..." The ethereal voice drew Bai Yue's attention to him.
"Who are you?" Bai Yue stared at the transparent figure, looking at his long white hair, the fox tail hanging behind him, and the red spot between his eyebrows. Everything about him felt familiar.
He just looked familiar, but Bai Yue was sure she had never seen him before.
"My name is Yida, and I am the former witch doctor of the White Fox Tribe..." the figure spoke again.
But no matter how hard Bai Yue opened his eyes, he could not see anything except the red spot between his eyebrows.
"You are already big?" Bai Yue thought of the huge fox head and said in surprise: "Haven't you already...already..."
In front of him, Bai Yue couldn't say, "Aren't you dead? How come you are still alive?"
Fortunately, this ancestor was not a calculative orc, and was very smart. He immediately saw through her concerns.
He spoke slowly: "I am dead, and you didn't really see me. This is your dream, and I am your imagination."
"So, you are not a real witch doctor?" Bai Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and she said how could she see someone who had been dead for so many years.
It turned out to be a dream.
"Yes and no. This question is not important to you. What's important is... this." As she spoke, a brand new piece of animal skin paper appeared in front of her, and she could see everything on it clearly.
It's a map with many points marked on it, but I don't know what those points represent.
"Remember them...find them..."
"Find them..."
The sound grew farther and farther away until it could no longer be heard.
...
"Bai Yue, Bai Yue. Why did you fall asleep here?" A female gently woke up the sleeping Bai Yue.
When the latter opened his eyes, he found that the sacrifice had ended long ago. The females were eating meat around the fire, and the males were watching the females eating meat opposite.
In the orc world, males are only allowed to eat after the females are full.
For this reason, orcs would deliberately hunt more when they go out hunting.
"Sorry, I accidentally fell asleep." Bai Yue thanked the female who woke her up, and quickly got up from her.
It’s okay if I don’t move, but as soon as I move my stomach feels like it’s cramping with hunger.
This was the second time she had felt this way.
Just when she was about to ask the female next to her where she could find some meat so she could roast it, she saw a large piece of roasted meat being handed to her.
It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and you can tell at a glance that it took a lot of effort to prepare.
Bai Yue looked up and saw the shy and embarrassed Yani. The red spot under her eye was even more eye-catching in the firelight.
"..Bai Yue, I grilled this for you. It's delicious." Afraid that Bai Yue would not like the meat she grilled, she emphasized the pronunciation of the three words "delicious".
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, he thought Bai Yue was holding a grudge against him for what happened before, and his face fell.
She had been so harsh on Bai Yue before, she would definitely not be forgiven by her.
Just as he was about to take the meat out and come back to her after thinking of a better way to apologize, the meat in his hand was taken away by someone.
Bai Yue's gentle voice also came to my ears: "All for me?"
Yani was stunned until Bai Yue repeated it again, then she quickly said, "Yes, yes, it's for you."
"Then I'll eat it, thank you." Bai Yue didn't dislike Yani, but what the other party said made sense.
Besides, if the original owner hadn't been dissatisfied with this and that every day, Annie wouldn't have had nothing better to do than quarrel with her.
After all, it was just a fight between children. She could accept the mess left by the original owner and would naturally forgive Annie.
Of course, she is not a good person.
After eating a large piece of meat, Bai Yue felt something in her stomach, and the uncomfortable feeling just now disappeared.
It seems that it was really caused by hunger.
"Is there any meat left?" Bai Yue asked Yani. She didn't have much meat in the cave she lived in, not even enough to eat, so she could only rely on the female she was talking to.
She wanted to find Bafeng, but he was nowhere to be found.
"There's more." Seeing that she wanted more, Annie immediately got up to get it.
After she left, Bai Yue's vision immediately became empty, and she happened to meet the eyes of Ba Feng who was sitting opposite her.
"..." Bai Yue, no wonder he didn't see it. He was blocked by Yani. It would be strange if he could see it.
She stretched out her hand to beckon the other person over. The latter was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and walked towards her.
Ba Feng, whose mind was completely on Bai Yue, did not notice that an orc was sitting next to him and put something in the water he was drinking.
