Yuan Jing and his team hollowed out ten thick trees and tied them together with strong vines, because they had to take the little dragon with them as well. They couldn't just leave it alone as it was really big.
Xiaolong was a little scared. The Stegosaurus clan all lived on land, and he still remembered the flood a few years ago. But because his spirit was awakened, with the comfort and company of Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng, he plucked up the courage to walk to the middle of the tied-up boat, and then squatted there obediently, in the posture like hatching an egg, with Yuan Jing and Xiong Feng accompanying him on the left and right.
Hu Luo and his son watched in amazement. It was not uncommon for humans to tame fierce beasts. There were totem warriors who tamed fierce beasts as mounts, but there were very few who could tame ferocious beasts. Moreover, this ferocious beast listened to a sub-human.
They used the oars to push the boat away from the shore, and everyone rowed hard to fight against the fast-flowing river. When the boat reached the middle of the river, they saw a large school of piranhas that densely surrounded the boat, which was really terrifying.
"Fortunately, these piranhas don't chew wood, otherwise the boat would have been eaten by them and we would have fallen into the water." Xiong Tian said with lingering fear while rowing hard.
Hu Luo said: "This is the first time I have crossed a river so easily. I have never thought of hollowing out a tree before. The most I could do was hold on to a tree and swim quickly to the other side of the river."
Xiong Feng rolled his eyes: "Because you are stupid."
Xiong Gu was grinning, Yuan Jing was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but Hu Luo was not angry. Firstly, it was obvious that Xiong Feng was actually not very old, but he had become a totem warrior, so he must have a high status in the tribe. Secondly, of course, Xiong Feng's identity as a totem warrior was enough to win the respect of others. Moreover, Xiong Feng also told the truth. Compared with these people, they were indeed much dumber and did not know how to cross the river in this way.
Yuan Jing didn't think that this kind of boat was the first time to appear on the Orc Continent, because Xiong Anning had passed by here before them, and it was very likely that such a simple boat or raft was also built at that time to cross the river.
The group successfully crossed the wide river and reached the other side. As soon as Xiaolong got ashore, he ran away from the river, crying "Ah Ah Ah".
Everyone hid the boat used to cross the river in a secret place and covered it with branches and weeds. They would definitely return to the tribe from here, so there would be no need to build another boat and they could just use the original one.
When they were on their way again, Yuan Jing asked curiously, "Hu Luo, how many years have you been away from this continent? Have you seen people from our side crossing the river to come here in these years?"
The others also pricked up their ears to listen, because they also wanted to know the whereabouts of the Bear Tribe and the other two tribes, and some of them had grudges against their Stegosaurus Tribe. Back then, the Stegosaurus Tribe was still weak and couldn't do anything to them, but this time they would not let them go easily if they met them.
If they had really fallen into their trap and squeezed the juice of the poisonous grass into the drinking water, the Stegosaurus Tribe might have ceased to exist. It was only because the leader was cautious at the time and had people keep an eye on these people's actions that their conspiracy did not succeed.
Hu Luo's eyes showed nostalgia. The little tiger cub squatted on his shoulder. He said, "It's been seven or eight years since I left. Maybe the situation here is different from before. I used to wander in other places and only recently returned to this river. You are the first group of people I met."
I came here because maybe deep down I wanted to go back to the original place and take a look. Unexpectedly, I really ran into people from the Stegosaurus tribe and took their boat back together.
"It's been such a long time. Does that mean your little cub is looking for a sub-human over there? Then where are your sub-humans?" Xiong Gu looked at the little tiger cub in surprise. He thought that this little guy also came from the big tribe here.
Hu Luo's eyes showed warmth, he touched the cub's head and said, "Indeed, she was born there. When I was wandering, I saved a subhuman who was scattered by a flood, but her health was not very good. Not long after giving birth to Tiger Wind, she returned to the arms of the Beast God."
So that's how it is. Needless to say, it was the flood that happened that year. It was normal to rescue a subhuman from the flood. Some people in their Stegosaurus tribe were in the same situation.
Hu Luo felt extremely lonely after his partner passed away. He often missed his brothers and friends in the tribe. He just wondered whether those brothers and friends were still well after so many years.
Xiong Gu patted his shoulder to comfort him. The death of a partner is never a good thing. He and Xiong Ji will be together for a long time.
Yuan Jing originally wanted to see if Hu Luo knew some news about Xiong An Ning and the others, but when he heard the time, he knew that Hu Luo couldn't be an insider. But it didn't matter, because their original intention was to travel and help Xiong Gu and the others gain more experience.
After getting away from the river, Yuan Jing clearly felt that the spiritual energy here was much richer than that on the other side of the river, and the vegetation was also richer. He dug up several herbs with rich spiritual energy, perhaps they could all be called spiritual herbs. It seemed that such a place should produce a lot of spiritual fruits.
Although they were traveling, they would never neglect their mouths and stomachs, and would prepare three meals a day carefully. Hu Luo, who was a little anxious at first and eager to return home, surprisingly calmed down. The most obvious result of eating and drinking so well was that the little tiger cub Hu Feng gained weight again, and Hu Luo was a little amused and confused about his weight.
He had never seen such a traveling team before. They treated traveling as a trip. However, when they encountered ferocious beasts and fought together on the way, he also understood the strength of these orcs more intuitively, and felt that they had the confidence to go on such a trip.
With a loud bang, a giant beast fell under the combined attack of five orcs.
"Another ferocious beast. This is the third ferocious beast we have encountered. I didn't expect there are so many ferocious beasts here." The ferocious beast they encountered this time was also a dinosaur, but it was a carnivorous dinosaur. It was very ferocious and wanted to swallow a little dragon of the same kind. It was slapped away by the little dragon's claw and then killed by Xiong Gu and several others.
Hu Luo used his animal bone knife to cut open the beast's head and found a crystal stone inside. It was also because of Hu Luo that Xiong Gu and the others knew that there was a beast core in the beast's head, and this beast core could enhance the strength of the totem warrior.
After Hu Luo found the beast core, he rinsed it with water and then gave it to Yuan Jing, because he originally wanted to give the first two beast cores to Xiong Gu, but Xiong Gu turned around and gave them to the sub-human Leopard Yuan Jing. It was also in this situation that Hu Luo realized that perhaps Leopard Yuan Jing was not an ordinary sub-human. These orc sub-humans seemed to be centered around Leopard Yuan Jing.
Such a discovery shocked him, and he had been observing quietly. Of course, such observation was seen by Yuan Jing and others, but no one reminded him. Since he met Hu Luo, he felt that this orc was quite good.
Yuan Jing was still very curious about the beast core. He held it up to the sun and saw that the inside was very transparent. He asked, "Besides improving the strength of orcs, what else can this beast core be used for? Can it be traded for other items at the market? Which one is more valuable, the beast core or the divine fruit?"
The so-called divine fruit is of course the spiritual fruit that Yuan Jing originally found. Divine fruit is a name for spiritual fruit in the Orc continent. Yuan Jing is now adapting to the local customs.
Divine fruit? Hu Luo took a deep breath. "Of course, the value of divine fruit is greater. Unfortunately, once a divine fruit is found, it is either guarded by a large tribe or there are powerful beasts lurking nearby. It is difficult to snatch it from the claws of these beasts. The competition for divine fruit is extremely fierce. As for beast cores, any tribe with totem warriors can produce beast cores. It is indeed possible to trade items at the market, but few people do so."
"In addition to this reason, the divine fruit is more precious than the beast core because the energy in the divine fruit is very mild. The orcs will not have any problems after taking it, but the beast core is not the same. The priest of the tribe said that the beast core needs to be used after a period of time. During this time, the beast nature in the beast core can be worn away. Otherwise, the orc's temperament will move closer to that of a ferocious beast, until he completely turns into a ferocious beast and is no longer an orc."
This time it was Xiong Gu and the others' turn to gasp. They did not want to follow in their footsteps. It seemed that the beast core was not that good a thing. It was far worse than if they practiced according to the method taught by their leader. They would still become stronger, which was much better than using the beast core.
Yuan Jing tossed the beast core, and as expected, he sensed a violent energy in the beast core. If he did not know how to suppress and tame this energy, the energy would rebel once it entered the orc's body.
Because of this reason, now all three beast cores are in his hands, and he has not used any of them. Even though Xiaolong thought this thing was delicious and wanted to swallow one to try, Yuan Jing stopped him.
He wondered if he could concoct a liquid medicine that could eliminate the violent energy in the beast core, leaving only the mild energy like that of the spiritual fruit. This way, no matter whether they or Xiaolong used it, there would be no problems.
He put away the beast core and decided to collect some more spiritual herbs to adjust the medicine. The ferocious beast was also cut into pieces by everyone, because the meat of the ferocious beast contained more abundant energy. Eating this kind of ferocious beast meat is good for orcs, but it does not have the negative effects of the beast core.
So everyone found a valley near a water source and started to make a fire to prepare a sumptuous meal of ferocious beast meat. Demi-humans like Xiong Ji would not miss the opportunity to improve their strength, so they processed the meat with great enthusiasm, which made Hu Luo stunned.
He saw Yuan Jing taking out some unknown grass he had dug up on the road and thinking about something, so he walked over and asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time: "Why can you subhumans eat the meat of fierce beasts, and eat a lot of it?"
"Huh? Can't the people of your tribe eat the meat of ferocious beasts?" Yuan Jing asked curiously.
"Yes," Hu Luo nodded, "because everyone knows that the meat of fierce beasts contains a lot of energy, and the bodies of subhumans cannot handle it, so no one dares to eat it."
"What about the priests of your tribe? Don't you dare to eat it?"
"Of course priests are different. Priests are people who communicate with the Beast God and possess the power bestowed by the Beast God. The more devout the priests are to the Beast God, the more power they will gain. The tribe will offer the priests the freshest parts of the ferocious beasts." Hu Luo said as a matter of course.
But when Yuan Jing looked carefully into his eyes, he discovered that there was still a hint of confusion in his eyes. After hearing his words, Yuan Jing became curious about the situation of the priests in these tribes. Did they practice a different kind of martial arts from the totem warriors, but only the priests could practice it?
Obviously, in the tribes of the Orc Continent here, the status of priests is higher than theirs. To be honest, Yuan Jing is not optimistic about this absolute authority, which often does not bring good results.
From Hu Luo's description of the tribes here, it can be seen that the development of the large and medium-sized tribes here is one step faster than theirs. The people in the tribe have already shown status levels. Although the word "noble" has not yet appeared, some people undoubtedly have such status and privileges. The property in the tribe is no longer owned by all the people in the tribe, but has become private property.
From the perspective of human history, this is undoubtedly a huge progress, but the oppression and inequality that follow will become more and more serious. Yuan Jing dares to say that as this process continues to develop, wars will definitely occur. In order to compete for land resources and population and labor, large tribes will continue to annex small and medium-sized tribes. If one tribe can stand out and unify all the tribes, the first country on the Orc Continent will be born.
If not, this great beast will be stuck in chaos for a long time.
At this time Yuan Jing recalled the plot again. The youngest and most powerful orcs on this continent gathered around the hero Xiong Anning. These orcs built a huge city in the center of the Orc Continent with Xiong Anning as the center. As for the name of this city, Yuan Jing couldn't help twitching his mouth when he saw it, because it was called Anning City. His harem would highlight their love for Xiong Anning, so they unanimously decided to name this great city after him.
Just like this, the Orc Continent also embarked on the process of unification in another way. This... can actually be considered unification. I don’t know what will happen to this Orc Continent after Xiong An Ning’s death. Yuan Jing is a little pessimistic and estimates that it will fall into chaos.
I don’t know if there will be a chance to rebuild An Ning City this time.
Yuan Jing looked at Hu Luo and thought about the plot in which Hu Li entered a medium-sized tribe by chance. This tribe was mainly composed of the tiger tribe, and the leaders were all tiger orcs. In the end, Hu Li became the leader of this tribe. The plot also specifically mentioned that Hu Li's ancestor must be a member of the tiger tribe who was lost outside, so returning to the tiger tribe was a natural thing.
Yuan Jing asked, "Are you from the Tiger Tribe?"
Hu Luo had introduced to them before that there were three large tribes he knew of. One was the Wolf Tribe. The werewolves in this tribe were very warlike and very powerful. The reason why it became a large tribe was that it annexed many small tribes and continued to grow stronger on this basis.
The second is the Lion Tribe. While the Wolf Tribe relies on the power of the group, the Lion Tribe is famous for the strength of individual orcs. It has attracted many small and medium-sized tribes to defect and rely on it, thus expanding into a large tribe.
The third one is the Feather Tribe. Although there are some frictions between the Feather Tribe and other tribes, because the tribe gathers all the orcs who can fly, its strength is not weaker than the first two tribes. However, because their home ground is in the sky, they have a posture of not interfering with the other two tribes.
Of course, in addition to these three large tribes, there is also a special existence, that is, the mermaid group in the ocean. However, they live in the sea and actually have less contact with these tribes on the ground and in the sky.
The situations of these three large tribes are exactly the same as the descriptions in the plot that Yuan Jing knows. The Tiger Tribe is actually very powerful, but it has been suppressed by the Wolf Tribe and the Lion Tribe, making it impossible for the Tiger Tribe to turn over. Of course, things were different after the appearance of Hu Li. When Hu Li was promoted to a high-level totem warrior, the Tiger Tribe was also successfully promoted to a large tribe.
Hu Luo was stunned for a moment and then nodded: "Yes, I used to be a member of the Tiger Tribe, but because I made a mistake, I was exiled by the tribe. This time, I just want to take a few glimpses from afar outside the tribe. It would be even better if I could get in touch with some of my former good brothers."
Hu Luo did not say what specific mistakes he made that led to him being expelled from the tribe, and Yuan Jing did not get to the bottom of it. If Hu Luo was willing to say it, he would have said it himself. There was no such person as Hu Luo in the plot, so he must have not returned to the Tiger Tribe.
After everyone had a hearty meal of ferocious beast meat, they began to practice, trying to digest and absorb all the energy they had taken into their bodies to avoid wasting it.
Ever since they ate their first meal of ferocious beast meat and gained energy from refining the meat, they have become addicted to this feeling. No wonder people here look down on them. The conditions here are too good. If they continue to live and practice here, their strength will increase even faster.
Of course, this is just talk. It's okay to travel, but it's not possible to live here for a long time. Unless the whole tribe moves here, they will have to go back one day. And they are under a lot of pressure. The orcs and orc tribes here are definitely much stronger than their Stegosaurus tribe, so they can only become stronger to protect their Stegosaurus tribe.
Seeing this, Hu Luo also quietly returned to his tent, picked up the cub and began to practice. This Jianlong tribe is indeed different. It seems that everyone has the skills given by the priest, even the sub-humans. In the Tiger Tribe and other tribes, the sub-humans will only be given the method of communicating with the beast god by the priest when they are selected by the priest to become the next candidate for the priest.
It is impossible that the four demi-humans here are all candidates for priests.
There is a lot of meat on a ferocious beast, so Yuan Jing and his companions stayed in the valley for a few days. They ate most of the meat and made the rest into jerky, which they could eat as snacks on the road. Even Hu Luo had never seen such a luxury of eating ferocious beast meat as a snack, but he also benefited from it. He felt that his strength had increased a lot recently. If he continued to eat like this, he might not be far from becoming a mid-level totem warrior.
The little Hufeng cub could only eat one or two pieces each time and then fall into a deep sleep, relying on the orc's instinct to absorb and digest the energy he ate. This made Hu Luo very happy. Perhaps his cub would grow up to be an even more powerful orc than his father in the future.
Hearing the sound of fighting ahead, several people went to take a look. They did not try to hide their tracks, because Xiaolong was big enough, so how could they hide? So they just watched openly.
How can they continue to fight like this?
