Chapter 127 Major Discovery
The chief of the ape tribe was an old man with white hair. The wrinkles on his face were the traces of time and also the symbol of wisdom. He still thanked Lianyi and his party solemnly, and then presented them with the ape tribe's specialty - wine.
Lianyi's eyes lit up when she saw it. This was good stuff. She hadn't smelled the aroma of wine for a long time. After Gen poured her a glass, she didn't hesitate and took a sip immediately. After tasting it carefully, she felt that this was very similar to "Monkey Wine".
In the world of cultivation, there is a kind of spirit monkey that can brew wine. The wine contains spiritual power. The longer it is sealed, the more mellow and free of impurities the spiritual power becomes. It is a good thing that cultivators flock to.
However, the leader of this group of monkeys was very smart. He kept the good stuff very tightly and only took out a few to exchange for things they needed, such as longevity pills.
Because the spirit monkeys can only cultivate to the sixth level at most, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough beyond that due to the restrictions of their bloodline, so they will exchange the spirit wine they brew for longevity.
The reason why Ancestor Lianyi was able to make friends with the ancestor of the spirit monkey clan was because she had thunder spiritual roots, and could provide a certain degree of protection to the spirit monkey when it was undergoing tribulation. Of course, he would not spread these news everywhere, and even that ungrateful little disciple was unaware of it.
Lianyi was distracted for a moment, then put down the wine glass and said with a smile:
"This is a good thing, but it has some impurities. I can tell you a distillation method that can make this wine more mellow. You can pick flowers that bloom in the warm season and make some flower wine."
Although Gen didn't understand what distillation was, he knew that the messenger of God wanted to guide them to improve the skills of making "Worry-Free Water". He felt better and then waved his hand, asking the tribesmen to send over all kinds of plants they could find in their territory. There were a lot of things, and they were varied and had everything.
"God's messenger, I heard from the witch that you have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering things. You can know the use of anything as long as you have seen it. I hope the God's messenger can help us take a look at these things."
Gen said with a smile.
"Wu, you are too kind, but discovering new food and preventing the orcs from starving is indeed the mission given to me by the Beast God."
Lianyi said this without any modesty. Even if she said now that she was nothing, the orcs probably wouldn't believe it.
Lianyi then carefully identified these things one by one. Some were picked this year, but some had been stored for who knows how long and could not be seen in their original appearance.
The chief of the ape tribe just wanted to show them to the messenger of God, just in case he really discovered something!
But Chief Gen really came across them. Lianyi recognized bay leaves, tangerine peel, star anise and cardamom among those shriveled things. These were all spices and could be used as seasonings.
Gen immediately smiled, thinking that he was the one who had foresight.
What Lianyi liked most were the unhusked rice and wheat. Even Chief Gen was a little surprised. He said that these were picked by his little female during the harvest season and inserted together with flowers in a cracked clay pot to decorate the tree house.
"Chief Gen, your female has done a great job this time."
Lian Yi smiled and crushed a few yellow ears of wheat and rice, peeled off the husks, and threw them directly into her mouth and chewed them for a few times. After making sure that there was no problem, she said:
"Both of these things are very resistant to starvation. Both males and females can be eaten, and there are many things that can be made from them."
"Then what should I do with these two things? If I look for them now, can I still find them?"
Chief Root asked immediately.
Lianyi looked at the rice and wheat in her hands. Perhaps because they were in the Beast World, these things were quite large in size and had been proportionally enlarged. Perhaps their resistance to cold was also enhanced.
"Chief Gen, you can ask your little female where she was found. Now that the snow has melted, see if you can find some back."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
Gen immediately called for Sha and asked their team to take his female to the place where they had found the animal.
"Next year's big gathering during the harvest season will be held on the beach. Does the clan leader know about this?"
Lian Yi asked directly.
"I know about this. Wu Tong told me that we had originally decided to participate in this grand gathering, and we had already started preparing. Unexpectedly, in the last month of the winter season, we were targeted by the forest leader."
Gen was also helpless. Because of the new food and method of storing meat spread by the messenger of God, they did not have a hard time during this cold season. The male orcs did not even need to starve to feed the females and cubs.
It was also because of this that they had the ability to fight back when faced with the attacks of the Forest Monsters. They retreated again and again only to protect the females and cubs and not to suffer too many casualties among the male orcs. Unfortunately, this group of Forest Monsters did not know what was good for them and actually wanted to attack their entire clan.
"This time it was my fault as the tribe leader. In order to protect the male orcs, I didn't want to fight with the forest leader. I thought they would retreat after getting food. I didn't expect that I underestimated the greed of the beasts. If I hadn't asked you for help in time, the casualties in the tribe would have been even more serious."
When Gen said this, his tone became a little bitter.
Lian Yi would not judge the decision of the clan leader, but she still said:
"Beasts are beasts. Once they get their fill of the ape tribe, they will come to harass your tribe every year like blood-sucking worms. If you keep retreating, you will be the ones who suffer."
She just stopped there.
"I understand. So while the envoy of God is staying in our tribe temporarily, I will take advantage of the victory and lead the orcs in our tribe to raid the forest leader. I want these beasts to avoid us apes in the future!"
The sound made by Gen was almost squeezed out from between his teeth, which showed that he was really angry this time.
"Chief Gen, even if you want to fight back, you can't act on impulse. It's best to make a comprehensive plan. For example, where is the exact location of the Forest King's lair? How many people are there? Where is their retreat? You have to consider your retreat after the raid is successful."
"Thank you for the reminder, God's messenger. We will definitely not act rashly."
Gen appreciated it very much and immediately nodded in agreement.
Lianyi understood that as the tribe leader, Gen had his own considerations, and there were conflicts among the various beast tribes, so there was no need to worry about this matter.
Then, Lianyi turned the topic to the food that can be made from rice and wheat.
After the two chatted for a while, Tuanzi slipped in to look for Lianyi. He hadn't seen his mother for half a day. Although he was familiar with the little monkeys, he was hungry, so he still habitually looked for his mother.
"It seems that Lei is hungry. I will not disturb the messenger. When I find the things, I will ask you to come over and teach the females how to make food."
Chief Root smiled and said goodbye.
After Lianyi sent the people away, she chatted with Tuanzi while cooking and asked him about his recent gains. The two of them were having a very happy chat. The food was also ready, including barbecued meat with corn tortillas and kelp and shrimp soup, a combination of meat and vegetables, which were both of their favorites.
At this time, Meng and Du jumped onto the tree house to look for Lianyi.
