Chapter 32 The Great Victory Tribe has never produced such a powerful sub-orc...
Yin Qing whistled, her eyes sharp, and nodded emphatically.
Startled by Yu Yan's fire, the male sheep charged wildly and bumped right into Zhui Fenggui's female sheep.
With a loud "bang!", it landed squarely.
In the chaos, the male sheep's horn ripped open the female sheep's belly, causing her to writhe in pain and run wildly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Feng Gui finally flapped his wings and took flight.
He looked anxiously at Yu Yan: "I'll help too!"
Yu Yan: "Alright! Father, light the fire too! Let's rescue the trapped sub-beastmen first!"
The three bird-type sub-beastmen seized the opportunity to land, quickly lit the dry grass, then used their claws to grab it, flew into the sky, and threw the burning dry grass onto the sheep-like beasts below.
The sheep were afraid of fire, so they scattered and fled immediately, many of them colliding with each other and bleeding from their heads.
A sense of frenzy and fear quickly swept through the entire sheep beast tribe.
Seeing this, Shuyu and his companions were greatly encouraged and launched a fierce attack on the sheep beast.
When a powerful adult sheep charged at her, Shuyu roared and used her body weight to knock it down!
His left forepaw pressed down on the sheep's head, while his right forepaw stabbed fiercely into its neck!
"Pfft!" Blood spurted from the neck of the sheep beast, its body convulsed, and it lost the ability to move.
Before it could die, Shuyu got up and continued hunting other sheep.
The flickering flames, the beastmen's strength, and the interference from the sub-beastmen threw the sheep beast herd into complete chaos, and they began to flee recklessly.
The bird-type sub-beastmen were able to escape and fly into the sky;
Xue Fei, Xin Yu, and Tan Nian, who were non-flying sub-beastmen, also distanced themselves from the ferocious sheep beasts.
The situation has now reversed!
Yu Yan spread her wings, hovered in mid-air, and looked down coldly at the sheep beasts running around.
The meadow, taller than a person, was trampled down in large patches, completely revealing their shapes.
This is a group of dozens of sheep beasts. Originally, the strong sheep beasts were on the outer perimeter, responsible for attacking and defending them;
The older sheep and their cubs were protected within them.
Now, the adult sheep are too busy to help themselves, the group's formation is in disarray, and several baby sheep have been pushed out.
An old sheep was trampled several times and struggled and screamed on the ground.
Yu Yan withdrew her gaze and looked back into the valley.
Feng Guifei flew over and asked, "We've rescued everyone, should we continue to light the fire?"
Yu Yan made up her mind: "I'll order."
Yin Qing: "Chase them even further away?"
Yu Yan: "No, let's use fire to drive them into the valley."
Everyone looked puzzled.
Time was of the essence, so Yu Yan didn't explain and urged everyone to get moving.
Because of Yu Yan's rescue, everyone placed their complete trust in him and immediately carried out his orders.
The hay they brought was all used up, but luckily there were plenty of flammable materials in the wild. Xin Yu and his men collected materials on the ground, lit them, and waited for Yu Yan and the others to fly over so they could grab them with their claws.
Yu Yan threw down a bundle of burning dry branches and shouted, "To the left! Don't let them get past!"
Yin Qing: "Here it comes!"
"Those few on the west side, Shuyu, you can take care of them!"
"Father, fly deeper into the valley first and attack them from the other side!"
The terrified herd of sheep ran away at the sight of people, and there was no longer any need to use fire to drive them away.
Under Yu Yan's clear instructions, everyone cooperated more and more smoothly, driving most of the sheep beasts into the valley.
"Alright, Chief Shuyu, you take the beastmen and put out the fire outside the valley. The rest of you, block the sheep beasts inside the valley!"
The meadow outside the valley was wet and thick, and only a few scattered fires broke out.
The orcs stomped on the fire with their large paw pads and it went out.
The drawbacks of the narrow valley became apparent at this moment.
The sheep ran for their lives in terror, each trying to get to the front and get away from the menacing beastmen.
But the valley was only so narrow, and everyone was pushing and shoving, so a stampede quickly broke out!
The cracking sounds of bones breaking, accompanied by the painful howls of the sheep beast, rang out together.
Some of the sheep wanted to run up the steep cliff.
Yu Yan was prepared. She had Feng Gui and the others throw stones down from a high place, causing the sheep beasts to tumble down the cliff and fall into their own territory, injuring other sheep beasts in the process!
On the other side of the valley, the wind was blocked by them; on this side, the drizzle brought the orcs to block them; Yu Yan and Yin Qing, along with other bird-type sub-orcs, were disrupting the battle in the sky.
Everyone was completely focused on the sheep beast, even ignoring the roar coming from afar.
The sheep were completely overwhelmed by fear. They couldn't find a way out, so they just bumped into each other, butted against each other, trampled each other...
Before long, the strong sheep were all injured and collapsed, and some sheep were even trampled to death on the spot.
The narrow, dark valley was filled with the smell of animal blood.
"Baa..." The living baa beast cried out in fear and weakness.
This scene shocked Xin Yu and the others, who frequently looked at Yu Yan in mid-air.
Everyone had the same thought: How could they have dealt with these sheep so easily?
The reason why the beastmen gather in groups is largely because the wild is dangerous, so they need to work together.
They had encountered wild animals before.
Small ones can be fought if they unite, but large ones can only be driven away or left to escape on their own.
If they encountered a herd of dozens of sheep, they wouldn't even give them a second glance, let alone fight them!
Hunting so many sheep at once was something they had never even imagined!
But now, the facts are clearly before us.
The sheep beasts' fighting power was greatly weakened, so they won!
After Yu Yan inspected the area and confirmed there were no risks, the plane landed safely.
He asked everyone, "Did you all bring weapons? Let's deal with these sheep beasts as soon as possible, lest they regain their strength and attack us again."
The scene before her made Yin Qing's blood boil.
They, the orcs, actually have a day like this! Hahaha, this is so awesome!
He shouted, "My claws are the best weapon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took off and swooped down, his claws finally piercing through the sheep's fur and severing its arteries.
Xin Yu also conjured claws, his movements nimble, taking down one enemy with a single claw.
Shuyu and the others transformed into human form, moving through the mess to finish off the enemies.
Yu Yan didn't forget to remind them: "Leave me two female sheep that produce milk! And two baby sheep! Don't kill the sheep that have injured their legs and broken horns but won't die anytime soon. Take them back and raise them for a while, and eat them when we're short of meat."
"Okay!"
"These two female sheep are the best, let's keep them."
"Little sheep, I'll just tie you up for you!"
When the battlefield was more than half cleared, the rumbling sound of running and the sound of wings flapping violently came from afar.
Yu Yan turned her head and saw that the white tiger Lan Xiu was running in front, faster than the huge peregrine falcon that Cang Feng had transformed into. His icy blue tiger eyes were full of tension and worry.
Seeing that Yu Yan was alright, his tense expression relaxed slightly, and his pace slowed down.
Cangfeng and Moye, not seeing their respective partners, immediately overtook Lanxiu and flew to the top of the valley.
When they saw what was below, their eyes widened in shock.
"Who...who did this?"
Xin Yu finished off another sheep beast, stood up, shook the blood off his claws, and smiled at the sky.
"You're too late, we've already taken care of it."
Cangfeng transformed into human form on the mountain, his long arms climbing the trees with agile movements. He quickly landed on the cliff, with Moye following closely behind.
They walked quickly toward their respective partners.
Cang Feng looked Xin Yu up and down and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the blood on his body was from the Meimei Beast.
"We heard the message and rushed over here. We're so glad you're all alright. You just told us that you hunted all those sheep-like beasts?"
Xin Yu nodded: "That's right."
Mo Ye asked Xue Fei in confusion, "But how could you defeat so many sheep beasts?"
Xuefei: "We didn't fight them. They trampled themselves to death."
Mo Ye raised an eyebrow: "You can do that?"
Xue Fei looked at Yu Yan with admiration and said, "It was all Yu Yan's brilliant idea!"
"Yeah, if it weren't for Yu Yan, we would be in real trouble today."
"He taught us..."
Everyone was still caught up in the excitement of their successful hunt, each more excited than the last, eager to recount Yu Yan's feat.
The beastmen of the peninsula tribe were all stunned upon hearing this.
Although they could manage to kill a few prey when encountering a pack of ferocious beasts on their own, it was unheard of to hunt so many at once!
Not to mention, most of those present were not particularly strong orcs.
Most importantly, they succeeded in the hunt without much effort!
"You actually thought of using fire to drive them away, and then using the instincts of wild animals to make them trample each other..." Cangfeng and the others looked at Yu Yan and said in amazement, "Yu Yan, you are really amazing."
Mo Ye also said, "It turns out that hunting doesn't have to be a head-on confrontation."
Yin Qing proudly stated, "The situation was extremely critical at the time, and it was only because Yu Yan was able to quickly come up with such a good solution!"
Xue Fei walked up to Yu Yan and said sincerely, "Yu Yan, thank you for saving me."
The other sub-beastmen also thanked Yu Yan.
The tall and imposing Lan Xiu stood beside him, his icy blue eyes gazing intently at him.
Yu Yan smiled and waved her hand: "It's okay. It's all thanks to your trust and cooperation that we were able to hunt these sheep beasts."
Such a humble attitude touched everyone deeply.
Shuyu led a few people from her tribe forward and said apologetically, "Yuyan, we are sorry. We put you in danger. Please forgive us."
Yu Yan: "How can you blame us? Nobody expected the sheep beasts to migrate here. I should thank you for helping us."
Shuyu felt even more apologetic: "We should be thanking you. Without you, we probably wouldn't be able to return to the tribe safely today."
Yu Yan smiled and said, "Then we're even. If you keep thanking me like this, you won't be able to go back before dark."
Shu Yu was taken aback, then couldn't help but smile, her eyes full of approval as she looked at Yu Yan.
"Today is the first time I've learned that there can be such a hunting method. Yu Yan, you are truly a clever and brave sub-beastman."
This time, it was Yu Yan's turn to be embarrassed by the praise. He touched his face, cleared his throat, and said, "Clan Chief Shuyu, you flatter me."
Then, turning to Lanxiu beside him, he said, "Lanxiu, can you take the orcs and deal with these sheep beasts? The few that are still alive are the ones I deliberately kept."
Lanxiu first said "okay," then asked with concern, "What are you going to do?"
Yu Yan pointed outside the valley: "Let's not go anywhere else, let's just dig some green garlic sprouts here."
Lan Xiu was slightly surprised: "You found garlic?"
"Yes, Chief Shuyu and the others found it! Encountering the sheep herd was purely accidental."
"Okay, wait a moment."
Lan Xiu walked forward for a while, then transformed into his beast form and roared at the meadow.
Then he ran around the meadow, scaring away all the birds, snakes, insects, and small animals.
Only after confirming there was no danger did he say to Yu Yan, "It's okay now."
Yu Yan smiled gratefully, then led the group back to the meadow.
He carefully showed everyone what the garlic sprouts, garlic bulbs, garlic flowers, and garlic scapes looked like, and then asked everyone to spread out and search for them.
During this season, only a very small portion of garlic plants are flowering and bolting; most garlic sprouts are tender and the bulbs are not large.
Yu Yan pulled up three baskets of garlic by the roots, intending to transplant some of them into the field when she got back.
Inside the valley, Lanxiu and his group had already disposed of the dead sheep beasts and tied up the living ones securely.
"Senbo, you guys take the game back, we'll go and help Yu Yan harvest garlic," Lan Xiu said.
“Okay,” Senber agreed, “we’ll come back after we’ve delivered it.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Yan raised her voice and said, "Senbai, you don't need to come. We should have already picked enough by then."
"Okay, we'll wait for you in the tribe~"
About an hour after Senbai and the others left, Yu Yan announced, "That's enough! Let's go back."
It was dusk, and the setting sun hung on the mountaintop, its brilliant red glow burning half the sky.
Shuyu glanced at the sky and said to Yuyan, "Yuyan, it's getting late, let's go back to the tribe first."
Yu Yan felt very apologetic: "I promised to show you around my house, but we didn't get to. I really didn't expect to be stuck in the wilderness for so long."
Shuyu expressed her understanding: "It's okay, we'll go back today and come again next time."
Yu Yan thought for a moment and said, "If you don't have anything urgent to do, why don't you stay in our tribe for the night? You can tour the place and try my cooking."
Shuyu hesitated and said, "This..." He looked at his companion.
Yu Yan then looked at Cang Feng: "Chieftain, does our tribe have a place to stay?"
Cangfeng nodded: "There are empty bird nests and caves, but the conditions are a bit rudimentary."
He displayed the demeanor of a clan leader and warmly said to Shuyu and the others, "We haven't properly thanked you for today's matter yet. Yu Yan is right, you've gone through quite a bit of trouble coming and going. Why don't you stay here for the night?"
"You don't need to worry about food and supplies, we will provide them for you, and we will not accept any supplies."
"Oh, and there were also some sheep we hunted. You guys get a share of them too, so you have to come back with us and share them."
Shu Yu was somewhat tempted. Not for the prey, but because he was genuinely curious about the peninsula tribes, and especially wanted to spend more time with the intelligent Yu Yan.
The faces of the people around me also revealed a desire to stay.
Finally, Shu Yuchong Cangfeng and Yu Yan smiled and said, "Then we'll have to trouble you."
Cangfeng: "What's the big deal? Let's go!"
The beastmen transformed into beast forms—giant tigers, giant rabbits, giant Totoro, giant birds of prey…
They carried baskets of garlic sprouts and their relatives and friends on their backs, heading towards the peninsula tribes in a grand procession.
Lan Xiu offered to carry them, saying that Lan Xiu and Feng Gui were tired after a long day.
Everyone was eager to return home, and it didn't take long for them to reach the forest where the tribe lived.
Many people are already waiting for them here.
Jinxia couldn't participate in the activity today because of an upset stomach, which was a real shame.
As soon as Yu Yan regained her footing, he rushed over.
"Yu Yan, you guys almost scared me to death! Luckily, no one was hurt!" He checked himself over before he was relieved.
"Jinxia, how's your belly?" Yu Yan asked with a smile.
"Completely cured! The montmorillonite powder you gave us is so effective, it works right away!"
Seeing that he had regained his spirits, Yu Yan said happily, "That's good."
"I'll get you some more supplies later, and could you also give me some montmorillonite powder to keep at home for future use?"
"no problem."
After witnessing the effects of montmorillonite powder, the others also offered to trade with Yu Yan, and Yu Yan agreed to all of them.
Several members of the Qingqing tribe stood on the periphery of the crowd, a look of annoyance crossing their handsome faces.
Tan Nian complained, "Chieftain, I told you not to run faster, now we can't even squeeze in."
Shu Yu blinked guiltily. Firstly, he hadn't expected Yu Yan to be so popular; secondly, he couldn't outrun the beastmen of the peninsula tribes…
Sigh, I wonder if Yu Yan could spare some montmorillonite powder for him, out of consideration for the Qingqing tribe.
Soon, the topic of conversation with Yu Yan shifted to the sheep beast.
Jin Xia and the others asked curiously, "Did Yu Yan really hunt down so many sheep beasts with her team?"
Yin Qing: "Of course it's true! You just didn't see what happened..."
He put his arm around Jinxia's shoulder and told the story vividly, eliciting gasps of amazement from everyone present.
"Yu Yan is really too strong."
"Yes! Our tribe has never had such a strong sub-orc in its history."
"The sub-orcs hunted dozens of sheep at once. If word got out, people would think we were exaggerating, hahaha."
"Who cares what others say? We just need to know how capable Yu Yan is!"
"I have some new ideas about hunting now, I'll give it a try next time."
As usual, a portion of the prey was handed over to the tribe, while the remainder was distributed among those who participated in the hunt.
The orcs had never experienced anything like this before; even the usually composed Xin Yu couldn't stop laughing the whole time.
After receiving his share of the prey, he said smugly to Cangfeng, "How about that? This meat should be enough for our family to eat for many days."
Cangfeng laughed heartily: "Yes, you are amazing. Shuoxing and I are so lucky."
Qiu Ze bounced around Xue Fei, exclaiming, "Father! You got so much meat! I admire you so much!!"
Yu Yan was a great contributor and received the most.
Even if they eat as much of this meat as they want, most of it still needs to be marinated.
So Yu Yan asked the people in the tribe if they wanted to trade some meat with him.
Senbo and Wenlie, these orcs, all said they wanted to make a change.
Jin Xia hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll get some for my father too... The meat of the sheep beast is too gamey, neither my father nor I can eat it."
Someone chimed in, "I'm not changing it. I can't even stand the smell, let alone eat it."
Yu Yan asked again, "Then can you trade us some more garlic? Garlic sprouts and garlic bulbs can be cooked together with lamb... sheep meat, both of which can remove the gamey smell and taste very good."
Everyone turned to look.
Garlic has this amazing use too!
What are we waiting for? They want to change!
