Outside the cave, the wind and snow were raging. Even though they were in their beast forms, they were already freezing from the severe cold. However, none of the orcs retreated, and they continued to move forward, searching for prey in the snow-covered forest.
The volcanic eruption a few days ago had burned the forest for two days and two nights before it finally stopped. The burning didn't extend to where they were hiding. Even so, many of the prey that remained in the forest had already left after this incident.
This forced Yan Meng and his team to move away from their current area and go further.
The golden lion was walking through the snowy forest. The cold weather made him shiver. He didn't know if he was walking too fast, but he had completely fallen behind the team.
Yan Meng faced the wind and snow, smelling the air carefully and paying attention to whether there were any animal marks on the snow.
After a while, a suspicious snow cave was seen in the snow.
Yan Meng leaned in and sniffed, and there was the scent of a ground rat. Ground rat meat was very delicious, but it was extremely difficult to catch. In addition, its size was no bigger than a copper pig's leg, so orcs rarely caught ground rats.
Today, after walking for a long time in the snow, he hadn't seen any signs of animals. This was the only place he had found. Yan Meng dug through the snow and dug open the cave entrance. He thought there would be a ground rat, but it wasn't in the cave. Instead, he found a lot of purple fruits in its cave.
I think this is the food stored by the earth rat.
Yan Meng wrapped all these things in animal skins, bit the skins, and continued to move forward.
Until dark, he still couldn't find any prey.
On the way back to the cave where they lived, they met Ans and his friends. Ans was lucky enough to hunt a bronze pig, but the others didn't.
When Ans saw Yan Meng, he was in a bad mood because he had not hunted any prey.
When they returned to the cave, the females, who had been eagerly waiting, saw no prey and were filled with disappointment. Yan Meng handed the package to Bei Yutang.
"I found it in a mole burrow." Yan Meng lowered his head, feeling somewhat guilty. He hadn't been able to hunt prey, and he couldn't let the female eat the meat.
Bei Yutang opened the package, peeled off the dark purple thing, and took a light bite. This thing was a bit similar to sweet potato, but the starch content was not as high, and it was crispier and sweeter.
Bei Yutang broke the sweet potato in half and handed one half to him. "It's delicious. Try it."
Yan Meng took it from her hand, took a bite, and didn't have any special reaction.
As soon as Bei Yutang saw his expression, she knew that he didn't like to eat.
Bei Yutang thought it was good. After all, no matter how delicious the meat was, you would get tired of it if you ate it every day.
Bei Yutang decided to call this sweet potato-like thing "Fanshu". This sweet potato was very large, each one was as big as three of Yan Meng's fists.
She threw one into the fire and it slowly cooked.
Bei Yutang knew that he didn't like to eat this, so he took out the last package of dried meat from the package and gave him half.
Yan Meng shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to eat.
He wanted to leave the food for her.
Bei Yutang glared and ordered, "Eat."
Yan Meng didn't dare to refuse anymore, and took it from her hand and started eating. He carefully tore off a large part of the meat and handed it to Bei Yutang again, "Eat."
