Chapter 4 Black Tiger Tribe
Upon reaching the cave in the center of the tribe, Chief Bai Lie, who had already heard the news, was already waiting for them.
Yuanyuan looked up at him. This uncle was really, really tall. At five years old, she only reached his belly. His muscles were as solid as a small mountain.
It was the first time Yuanyuan had ever seen such a tall and strong orc, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.
“Little female, welcome… welcome to the Black Tiger Tribe.”
"Are you tired? Go inside and get some rest."
Yuanyuan was a little scared and nodded haphazardly.
Bai Lie could tell she was nervous, so he squatted down and tried to keep his voice gentle.
"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you. We're glad you came to our tribe."
Their tribe has over 600 people, with about 20 young females, but in recent years only two females have successfully given birth to cubs.
He hadn't seen such a fresh and healthy cub in a long time.
At this moment, Yuanyuan was no different from a gold nugget in his eyes.
The old witch doctor led her into the cave next to the chief's.
"Little one, this is the cave prepared for you. I will arrange two warriors to be in charge of your safety. You can just tell them if you need anything."
"I understand, witch doctor grandma."
"Sit down and rest. Someone will bring you food in a little while."
Yuanyuan had never lived in a cave before, so everything she saw seemed new and exciting.
Seeing the huge animal teeth and bones on the stone wall did not frighten me.
They even picked it up and played with it.
——
Lu Yuan and the others stared wide-eyed at the beast's teeth, which were longer than her arm.
"This...this..."
"What kind of animal has such long teeth? How big must its body be?!"
"This doesn't look like ivory at all."
"It might be mammoth ivory."
"Don't make wild guesses if you don't understand. Ivory is curved. Look at the beautiful curve of those teeth, how could they be ivory?"
"How about we get the zoology team to come and take a look?"
They're a bunch of plant researchers, how would they know what animal teeth look like?
If there were archaeologists here today, they would surely recognize these as the teeth of a saber-toothed tiger that went extinct tens of thousands of years ago.
They wanted to zoom in for a closer look, but Yuanyuan had already stored it away in her space.
"Disappeared...disappeared?"
"The space, it must be the legendary space!!" The team member who loved reading online novels said with certainty, and his guess was soon confirmed.
Yuanyuan first put some of the dried meat and fruit they brought into her space.
"This matter must be reported." Lu Yuan picked up his tablet and walked towards Professor Gu's research room.
Professor Gu is not only the most prestigious botanical expert in the country, but also the head of their base.
It's already bizarre enough that someone with a system could travel through time, let alone travel to a beastman world that has never been recorded before.
Orcs!
This is a new species; if we could bring back one or two...
——
Yuanyuan was unaware that her every move was being broadcast live.
At this moment, she was listening to the system report on the basic situation of the tribe.
At this moment, a female wearing an animal skin skirt and with deer ears walked in, carrying a bowl of steaming soup.
"Little female, have a bowl of animal bone soup to warm yourself up. My partner made it; it's very nourishing."
She is Bai Lie's female, Lu Yun.
As the female leader, she naturally knew some things earlier than the rest of the tribe.
Despite having five of the strongest companions, she was unable to have her own cubs.
The females with cubs often mocked her behind her back.
Even her other beast husbands were mocked for their incompetence.
If Bai Lie weren't so highly respected and the tribe's number one warrior, with no one able to defeat him, they wouldn't dare to disrespect him.
I heard that this is an emissary sent by the Beast God to save them, and that it can help females conceive.
She was going to try it regardless of whether it was true or not.
Yuanyuan heard from the system that it was not poisonous and that she could drink it. She took the soup bowl and took a small sip. To be honest, it didn't taste good. It was very fishy and there was no salt added.
She looked up and thanked her softly.
Lu Yun didn't linger and quickly took the empty bowl and went out.
Yuanyuan learned that there were more than 30 females in their tribe, but only seven offspring had been born in the past few years.
This proportion is too small for the world.
Female animals typically give birth to three offspring at a time, with some having as many as six.
"System, what's the maximum number of pregnancy pills I can get from completing one task?"
With so many female tasks, she can only help one person at a time. So, who should she help?
[Host, you only get one Pregnancy Pill per mission. You can stay in the Beast World for seven days. There's no limit to the number of missions you can complete within those seven days; the more you do, the more you earn.]
"..."
Yuanyuan walked to the threshold, where two young beastmen stood outside, one a tiger beastman and the other a leopard beastman.
Yuanyuan made the judgment based on the animal ears on their heads.
"Little female, are you going out?"
The tiger-beastman grinned, revealing his large white teeth, and asked.
Yuanyuan took a step back and shook her head. "I want to drink water, clean water."
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go get it for you right away."
The tiger-beastman seemed to have received some reward, and turned and ran away quickly.
The leopard-beastman watched his departing figure with envy, then looked longingly at Yuanyuan, wanting to help the little female with her mission as well.
Yuanyuan glanced at the sky outside; it was very hot.
Not wanting to do the mission, I turned around and went back to the cave. Although the cave was simple, it blocked out the sun, so it was not hot at all and even had a cool breeze, which was very comfortable.
The tiger-beastman quickly brought her clean water after she had washed.
Yuanyuan was indeed thirsty, and without hesitation, she took the drink and drank it.
The system told her to rest well today and start doing tasks tomorrow.
She planned to take a nap and then explore the tribe to familiarize herself with the environment.
It's too hot at this time of day; apart from a few orc uncles who have to work, no one else from the tribe comes out.
I couldn't sleep well in the new place; I woke up after only a short while.
Whether by coincidence or not, she had just gotten out of bed when she heard the voice of the leopard beastman outside.
"Little female, the barbecue is ready. Would you like to eat now?"
Upon hearing the word "barbecue," Yuanyuan immediately thought of the barbecue restaurant her mother used to take her to.
She couldn't help but swallow hard. "I want to eat."
Then she received a piece of roasted meat bigger than her face.
"This...it's so big?"
How is she supposed to eat?
I tried picking it up and taking a bite, and surprisingly it wasn't dry or hard.
She didn't know that the chief and the witch doctor had specially ordered that the tenderest and most delicious parts be reserved for her, and even the orcs who roasted the meat were the best cooks in the tribe.
Before she knew it, she had finished the whole piece and even let out a burp.
To welcome her, the Black Tiger tribe held a bonfire party for her that day.
The campfire crackled as Yuanyuan was surrounded by a group of orc females around it.
She had just taken the sweet berries handed to her by the bunny-eared aunt next to her and put them in her mouth when a fluffy thing suddenly pounced into her arms.
Looking down, she saw it was the little tiger she had seen during the day, its golden-brown fur with light black stripes, its tail brushing against her arm intermittently.
It made soft "gurgling" sounds in its throat, and when it saw that she didn't push it away, it stretched out its head and rubbed against her neck, and when she wasn't paying attention, it stuck out its tongue and licked her cheek.
Yuanyuan giggled from the tickling, picked it up and put it on her lap, then rubbed it roughly on its back.
"Yuanyuan, try this!" On the other side, Lu Yun was holding a leaf-shaped package containing bubble fruit, which they usually couldn't bear to eat.
"Thanks!"
Yuanyuan grabbed a few and put them in her mouth; they were sweet and sour, and very delicious.
Seeing that she liked it, I put a whole leaf in her hand and said, "Eat more."
Another female handed over a skewer of berry-grilled meat. The tender skewers were coated with purplish-red juice, and the meat was slightly juicy after grilling, with the aroma wafting straight into Yuan Yuan's nose.
"This is a technique I learned from a large tribe. It's delicious, you should try it."
