Yuan Jing couldn't guarantee that the current development would be exactly the same as the plot, but Hu Li and Xiong An Ning should be on the other side of the river: "We have traveled to many places in the past few years, but we haven't run into those people. Maybe they have gone over there."
In the past few years, in addition to exploring many places, the tribe also participated in the annual tribal gathering, where they would meet people from other tribes. This side of the river was not just the Stegosaurus Tribe. During this period, they did meet people from the original three tribes. After communicating with them, they found out that they were all separated during the relocation process. They had no choice but to join the nearest tribe to survive. As for where the main body of the tribe moved to, they were not very clear.
After attending several tribal gatherings, the reputation of the Stegosaurus tribe became more and more famous. People from other tribes envied the people of the Stegosaurus tribe for being able to live such a good life, but no one associated Yuan Jing, the sub-human leader, with the devil anymore.
The Stegosaurus Tribe has also taken in several Forsaken Gods who were abandoned by other tribes. Now they are all living well in the Stegosaurus Tribe, which is enough to prove that the so-called Forsaken Gods are just nonsense.
"Let's go and see what kind of fish there are in the river." Seeing the rushing river, Yuan Jing suddenly wanted to eat fish.
"Okay." Of course Xiong Feng didn't refuse, so he let Yuan Jing sit on his panda arm, and he and Xiaolong walked towards the river together.
When the others came back, they saw a lot of fish thrown up by the two big guys, Xiong Feng and Xiao Long, on the river bank. Yuan Jing shouted that it was enough and asked them to stop, so Xiong Ji and several other men came over to pick up the fish.
"These fish are really big. We can't finish them in one meal." Xiong Ji said as he was cleaning them up. One fish weighed more than ten pounds. Even if the orcs had a big appetite, they couldn't finish them. Besides, Xiong Gu and the others had already gone to catch other prey.
"Let's grill the fish fillets and eat them as snacks on the road in the evening." Yuan Jing suggested. Since the orcs were in charge of the journey, the subhumans just had to sit on the orcs' backs, so it would be quite pleasant to enjoy the scenery and eat snacks.
It’s the orc Xiong Tian. His raccoon form has become much larger as his strength has increased, so it’s no problem for him to be used as a mount for his demi-human.
"Okay, then I'll have a hard night."
Yuan Jing loves to eat fish, and Xiong Feng also likes to eat it all when he takes him there, although it is not as refreshing as eating meat, but Yuan Jing cooks the fish very deliciously. Originally, Xiong Ji and other sub-humans did not like to eat fish because it has bones, but later they were attracted by the taste of the fish cooked by Yuan Jing.
Yuan Jing and Xiong Ji worked together to make the fish into grilled fish, spicy fish fillets, and braised fish in sauce. When everyone sat down to eat dinner together, even the orcs like Xiong Gu couldn't help but reach for the fish with their chopsticks.
Yuan Jing had found spicy leaves to replace peppers, but what about peppercorns? Yuan Jing searched for this seasoning but couldn't find it, so he grabbed a handful of seeds from the space and scattered them somewhere at random. When the seeds matured, he brought them back to the tribe as an "accidental" new discovery.
On this trip, they brought a large bag full of various seasonings, which was carried on Xiong Gu's back. Without seasonings like chili leaves and soybean paste, the food would have tasted much worse. Thanks to their leader, the food of the tribe has become so rich.
Therefore, it is easy to go from simple to luxurious, but difficult to go from luxurious to simple.
Eight people plus a stegosaurus ate, drank and chatted. The stegosaurus, which had always been a vegetarian, actually ate fish when it came to Xiaolong's place. Yuan Jing and Xiong Ji grilled three big fish for it to satisfy its appetite.
The fragrance wafted from far away, making a small animal in the bushes drool, and a puddle of water appeared in front of it. Later, it could not resist the temptation any more, and quietly crawled towards the fire, thinking that it would not be discovered. There was a grilled fish on the fire.
Little did they know that this little beast was discovered by Yuan Jing and the others as soon as it appeared, but it pretended not to know and continued to eat, drink and talk. They saw all the little guy's actions with smiles in their eyes. They didn't expect that their meal would make the little guy so greedy.
Don’t think about it, if they had smelled such a fragrance a few years ago before joining the Stegosaurus tribe, they would have been the same as this little guy.
Xiong Feng deliberately moved forward to block Yuan Jing's sight so that Yuan Jing could not see the little animal. Because Xiong Feng discovered that when the little animal came out, it was a round and fluffy ball that made Yuan Jing's eyes light up. The warning light bulb in Xiong Feng's mind immediately lit up, and he was determined to prevent Yuan Yuan from having any contact with this little thing.
The little guy looked like a cat, his two glass eyes were very agile, he was getting closer and closer to the fish which was emitting an extremely tempting fragrance to him, and when those people didn't notice him and continued to talk, joy appeared in his glass cat eyes. The little guy raised his head and looked at the fish, oooh, it smells so good, I really want to take a bite, thinking of this, the little guy pounced over.
But the next moment, what reached his mouth was not the delicious fish meat, but a mouthful of air. The little guy was suspended in mid-air, looking at the fish so close to him but unable to get any closer. He cried out in anxiety.
The young voice made a howling sound, but it did not give anyone a sense of threat. Xiong Gu, who saw the opportunity, turned around and caught the little thief, and pulled the little guy in front of him by the neck: "Look, we caught a fish thief, little guy, tell me where you came from? Where are your parents? How could they let a little guy like you run away? Aren't you afraid that you will fall into the mouth of a fierce beast and become food?"
As Xiong Gu spoke, he shook the little thing. He found it funny to see the little thing grinning and acting as if he was looking very fierce, so he tapped his forehead with his other hand.
Yes, this is a little orc, and everyone noticed his presence as soon as it appeared.
He looks like a little cat, but judging by his cry, he should be a tiger cub.
The little tiger found that these people were not threatened by him at all. All four of his paws drooped, including his head. He looked at everyone pitifully, which made people feel soft-hearted. However, Xiong Gu would not do that. He flicked his head again and said, "Tell me, where is your master? How did he come here? Is your tribe nearby?"
Xiong Ji was soft-hearted and rescued the little tiger from Xiong Gu. The little tiger immediately howled and complained to Xiong Ji. Xiong Gu could understand his animal language and laughed: "He is really a cunning little thing. Look, he still complains to you. I think we should throw him out quickly, otherwise his family will come and think we are bullying him. Oh, and collect the fish as well. It will be my breakfast tomorrow morning."
"Awoo, awoo." The little tiger cub became anxious. He raised his two front paws and bowed to Xiong Ji, while looking at the grilled fish and showing signs of drooling.
"Okay, don't scare him. He's cooked a lot today anyway, and it seems he likes eating fish. The leader said that the kid will become smarter if he eats fish." Xiong Ji found it funny and patted Xiong Gu on the shoulder to tell him not to tease the little guy anymore. He took a bowl, took the meat of the grilled fish and put it in the bowl, then put the little guy in front of the bowl. The little guy only had the fragrant fish meat in his eyes, and no longer cared about the other people. He pounced on the fish and started fighting with it.
"Yuanyuan, this fish thief is not good-looking at all. Look at his fur, it's dirty." Xiong Feng saw that Yuan Jing's gaze was also attracted to him, and he spoke ill of this little guy vigilantly. At this time, his position was the same as Xiong Gu's.
Yuan Jing turned to look at Xiong Feng, burst out laughing, and patted his head: "Seeing him like this, I remembered the scene when I first picked you up. At that time, I bathed you in the river. The river water was very dirty before I finally washed you clean. And you were as beautiful as I thought."
Xiong Feng's face and ears turned red, he was embarrassed and ashamed, which made Xiong Gu laugh. It was obvious that the leader had taken advantage of this bad boy Xiong Feng. Oh, thinking about it, Xiong Feng was really pitiful at that time. He might not have survived without the leader.
"I look good now too." Xiong Feng declared dryly.
"Yes, it looks good now too. I like pandas the best. Pandas are our national treasure." Yuan Jing agreed.
Although he didn't understand why the word "national treasure" was used, but from hearing Yuan Jing mention it so often, Xiong Feng knew that it meant that he was a great treasure, a very important treasure. He immediately grinned with complacency, and looking at the little tiger cub again, he didn't think that he could be much of a threat.
Although the tiger cub was small, most of the fish had fallen into his stomach. He was still fighting. At this time, another breath came and a voice called out: "Hu Feng, where are you? Hu Feng——"
Xiong Gu and his companions looked at the little tiger cub who was still busy eating and ignored the voice. They looked up at each other, and Xiong Gu said, "Could this little thing be Hu Feng?"
"It's possible, but I think the only thing on his mind right now is food. This little guy is too easy to deceive. He can be kidnapped away with just a little food."
"That depends on what you eat. Ordinary food can't do that."
The orc who was looking for the cub finally found the people gathered by the river, and there was also a big dinosaur. He became alert. If he had not discovered that the dinosaur was with the people, he might have immediately transformed into a beast and pounced on them.
At this moment he stopped, looking at his silly son with a complicated expression, who was tearing the food apart with great force. His fur was stained with the smell of food, but he didn't care about his father at all. He didn't even raise his head even when the food was in front of his eyes.
But he moved his nose. Where did these people come from? The food smelled really good. Just smelling it made him hungry. No wonder his silly son was attracted to eat so devotedly.
Yuan Jing didn't say anything, but just watched with interest, holding his chin. Xiong Ji took on the task of communication, pointed at the cub eating fish, and said to the orc: "Is this the cub Hu Feng you are looking for? He is fine, just a little hungry."
How could he be a little hungry? He made it sound as if he was starving his own child. If he was really hungry, how could he be so plump at such a young age?
Hu Luo could see that these people had no ill will towards his cub, but if he was not mistaken, the dinosaur was a ferocious beast. To be able to stay with ferocious beasts, the orcs among these people must be very powerful, which made him alert again.
But the cub was in someone else's hands. Hu Luo thought about it and strode over. He couldn't abandon the cub and said, "Yes, this is my cub Hu Feng. I'm sorry for eating your food. I'll catch some fish for you later. By the way, I'm Hu Luo, Hu Feng's father."
"It's Hu Luo. Please take a seat, Hu Luo." Xiong Ji took out a folding stool. They all sat on the folding stools. Ever since this stool appeared, everyone liked to prepare one, especially the orcs who went out hunting. It was very convenient to carry it with them and they could sit on it when they had a break.
Hu Luo had never seen this before, but he had eyes to see. He tried to sit on it. Hmm, it was very stable. He asked tentatively: "Are you... traveling here?"
"Yes, we left our tribe to travel, and planned to rest here for one night. Tomorrow morning we will see how to cross the river and go to the other side of the river to have a look." Xiong Ji said with a smile. The identity of a sub-human would reduce people's vigilance to the lowest level.
"Your tribe must be very wealthy." Hu Luo looked at the food they ate. There was a lot of food he had never seen before. In addition, these people were wearing clothes made of soft cloth. "What is the name of your tribe?"
Xiong Ji did not hide anything: "We are from the Jianlong tribe. In fact, our tribe was established not long ago and is not very large. It's just that our tribe has a very good leader. It is our leader who makes everyone in the tribe live a good life. Our tribe is quite far away from this river, on the other side of the river. We are a barren place."
"Yes, I didn't expect you to know this. Is it because someone has been to the other side of the river before? Your leader is really amazing. Stools like this and the seasonings you use to cook food, many of which have never appeared in the big tribe on the other side."
During the conversation, Hu Luo gradually let down his guard against them, and they couldn't help but talk more to each other. Hu Luo thought he had a certain understanding of the Stegosaurus Tribe, and Xiong Ji and others also heard that this orc named Hu Luo might be from the tribe across the river, otherwise how could he be so familiar with the situation across the river?
Hu Feng finally finished the whole fish, with beards on his mouth. He raised his head and shook it. Was he dazzled? Why did he see his father here? Then he pounced on his father with beard on his mouth and cried out. He had eaten a delicious fish, but he forgot to leave a few bites for his father.
Hu Luo's face was dark. Just when he was about to pounce on him and rub the dirt on his mouth on him, he grabbed his neck and lifted him up. How many bites should he leave? This kid ate so much that he forgot about his father. How could he remember to leave a few bites? It would be strange if he believed it.
It was not convenient to teach the kid a lesson in front of others, so Hu Luo had to hold him in his hand like this all the time while talking to Xiong Ji and the others. However, the kid was very good at enjoying himself. He played with himself and even used Hu Luo's hand as a swing to swing back and forth.
When Xiong Ji invited Hu Luo and Hu Feng to stay together for one night and set off together the next day as Yuan Jing suggested, Hu Luo hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement at the young boy's strong request.
In order not to reveal the identity of Leader Yuan Jing, everyone called him Yuan Jing. Hu Luo also regarded him as a sub-human like Xiong Ji and did not take him too seriously.
Yuan Jing took Xiong Feng, Xiong Gu and others to build a boat. Of course, the boat was very simple. Several thick trees were tied together and then hollowed out in the middle so that people could sit inside. There was no need to use any tools. Xiong Gu could use his bear claws to quickly hollow out the tree.
One benefit of practicing this technique is that you can perform partial tribal transformations. There is no need to change into a beast form. You can just turn your arms into bear claws and give them the power of bear claws.
Hu Luo watched for a while and then came forward to help.
After the simple boat was made, it was put aside and several tents were set up on the spot. One of the tents was given to Hu Luo and his son for them to rest.
Before going to bed, everyone lit a fire outside and chatted. Xiong Ji, Xiong Tian and others fully expressed their curiosity about the tribe on the other side of the river. Hu Luo introduced a lot of them. Yuan Jing thought it was a good thing to meet this tiger-shaped father and son. However, Hu Luo had not decided to cross the river with them the next day and seemed a little hesitant.
It can be seen that Hu Luo is also a junior totem warrior. I don't know why he ended up here instead of living in the Luo tribe across the river.
It was late at night, and everyone went into the tent to sleep or practice. Hu Luo also went in with his son who was snoring. This tent was different from the ones he had seen before, but it was obviously better. He felt that the leader of the Stegosaurus tribe was more and more amazing.
He had often heard his tribesmen talk about the tribe on this side of the river. They said that this place was very poor and there were not even totem warriors. He and his son had also traveled to many places and found that they had indeed never encountered any totem warriors. But today was different. Among these eight people, four orcs possessed the strength of totem warriors, and there was especially a ferocious beast, which was considered a strong force on the other side of the river. What was more important was that they were still very young.
Touching the soundly sleeping cub, Hu Luo sighed. Did he really want to go back with them?
He is a wandering orc now. It has nothing to do with him, but he can't let his cub live a wandering life like him, right?
Hu Luo saw that the little cub had fallen asleep and licked his food with his tongue, as if he was savoring the taste of the grilled fish he had eaten in the evening. He paused and thought, maybe it's time to go back and take a look. It seemed like it would be nice to follow these people from the Stegosaurus tribe. At least the little cub liked the food they cooked very much. If he had to leave them, he would definitely be very sad.
Hu Luo found an excuse for himself, lay down and fell asleep peacefully.
The next day, they were awakened by the smell of breakfast outside. Hu Feng immediately left his father and came out of the tent, following the smell of food. Xiong Ji jokingly took him to the river to wash up, and he had to be clean.
Hu Luo took a step back, looked over and thanked Xiong Ji and the others, and told them that he had decided to go with them. Xiong Gu expressed his welcome.
After eating and drinking, everyone was ready to set off.
Since Hu Luo decided to go together, he explained to them the danger of the river. However, there were five totem warriors and a ferocious beast here, so there shouldn't be any problem.
It turns out that in addition to the river being too wide and the water being fast in the middle, there are also some ferocious fish living underwater that will attack passers-by, so it would be very dangerous if you don't have a boat and have to swim across on your own.
"Are there any ferocious beasts in the water?" Xiong Gu expressed his curiosity and stood by the river looking into the water.
"Yes, in addition to ferocious beasts, there are also piranhas, but piranhas are not so dangerous when they leave the water." Hu Luo said that he saw piranhas in the fish they ate yesterday, "but in the water, schools of piranhas are very dangerous, and they can chew people into a corpse in a short time."
Hu Luo had seen it with his own eyes, so he was very afraid of this kind of piranha, but with these, it should be no problem, especially he was optimistic about the boat they built.
