The sun shines down from the sky and falls on the lush green woods.
The giant trees spread out their bodies, using their broad leaves to catch the sunlight.
The leaves of these trees were so numerous and large that when the boundless sunlight fell on the bushes under the trees, only spots were left.
A gust of wind blew, and the tiny specks of sunlight began to sway.
Amid the rustling sound of leaves blowing in the wind, a Lesothosaurus about one meter long, with small front claws and strong hind limbs, jumped out of the bushes.
This is a relatively rare and small ornithopod dinosaur, which is hunted by many carnivorous dinosaurs.
The Lesothosaurus raised its upper body and looked around. When it felt there was no danger, it used the arrow-shaped teeth on both sides of its jaw to cut off the leaves of the bush and eat them.
It was eating very attentively, its mouth moving constantly. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a huge brown bear jumped out from behind the bushes nearby and pounced on it...
The Lesothosaurus was knocked down by the brown bear before it could escape and became silent in an instant.
The brown bear then stood up.
This brown bear was over two and a half meters long. When he stood up, he could see that the back of the Lesothosaurus on the ground had been broken. The brown bear had just used its own weight to crush the Lesothosaurus to death. After all, even though he had lost a lot of weight over the winter, he still weighed four hundred kilograms, while this poor Lesothosaurus weighed only a little over ten kilograms.
The brown bear sniffed the air, looked at the Lesothosaurus on the ground, and suddenly turned into a tall, handsome but thin man, about 1.8 meters tall.
The man jumped behind the bushes, took out a leather skirt made of dinosaur skin and put it on. Then he picked up the Lesothosaurus he had just caught and ran in the forest. His honey-colored skin and fluttering dark green leather skirt were faintly visible in the woods.
He ran very fast, and soon he arrived at the foot of a mountain not far away and entered a valley.
The valley is not big, about fifty or sixty acres. There are no plants here. The soil on the ground has been trampled extremely hard and flat by people coming and going, forming a large square surrounded by mountains.
Some crude shacks were built around the square, with firewood and other sundries piled inside. Some steps and caves were carved out on the mountain wall nearby, and people came in and out from time to time.
At this time, dozens of men and women in animal skin skirts were busy in a corner of the square. When they saw the man running outside, they greeted him: "Kumano!"
"Kumano, you're back!"
"Kumano, you are amazing! You were out for only a short while, and you caught a Lesothosaurus!"
…
Everyone was envious. One of the fit young women swallowed her saliva and said, "This Lesothosaurus is really strong. It looks delicious!"
"I'm lucky too." Kumano smiled, carrying the prey, and walked past them to the east side of the col.
He was in a hurry to find someone - he had caught the prey, Shi Li must be very happy!
When the people who had been talking to Kumano saw him leave, they continued to work - they were cutting up several ornithomimus.
These ostrich-like dinosaurs, weighing about two to three hundred kilograms, were hunted this morning by the young warriors of their tribe. The prey caught in this collective hunt is the public property of the tribe. After they have processed it, everyone in the tribe, regardless of gender, age or status, can get a share. Of course, the best parts will be reserved for the warriors who participate in the hunt. Kumano, Shili and others, who are the main fighters, will even get the heart and liver of the prey.
The entrails of their prey give them strength and make their eyes brighter, and are one of their favorite foods. Some wandering orcs who transform into their original forms to hunt, after catching their prey, the first thing they do is to tear open the prey's stomach and eat the internal organs raw.
The muscular woman who coveted the Lesothosaurus in Kumano's hands cut open the long neck of the Struthiomimus with a stone knife and looked at Kumano's back with a bit of envy: "Kumano is really amazing! He just went hunting with everyone this morning, and he has the energy to go out again in the afternoon. I wish I could have a baby with him!"
"Don't think about it. He likes Shi Li. When the fire flower blooms, they will become a couple under the auspices of the priest." said a thin man next to him.
In their tribe, most people will not form a partner with others. Instead, they will be with whoever they want, have children with whoever they want, and separate if they don't like each other anymore.
Some women gave birth to seven or eight children, and the fathers of these children were even completely different.
However, if two people swear to become partners to the Beast God under the auspices of a priest on the day when the fire flower blooms, then they can never be separated again, and other orcs will not disturb them - it is a sin to separate a couple blessed by the Beast God.
They have always believed in the words of the high priest.
When the muscular woman heard what the skinny man said, she curled her lips and said, "Who doesn't know what you said? Alas! Why did Xiong Ye choose Shi Li as his partner? They are both men, and Shi Li can't even give birth to a child for him!"
The men in the tribe are proud of having many children. Kumano's father, the previous chief of their tribe, had nine children with five women. The current chief of the tribe, Kumano's uncle, also had five children with three women.
But Kumano is an outlier. Not long after he became an adult, he decided to become a partner with a man.
The bodybuilding woman felt extremely regretful when she thought of this.
She grew up with Kumano and had a great affection for this man, the strongest of the younger generation who had awakened into a brown bear with extraordinary combat power. She had even promised her good friends that when Kumano came of age, they would go and sleep with him together and give birth to a child for him.
As a result, such a man who is particularly suitable to be a father is so desperate that he wants to find a stable partner!
It would have been fine if he just wanted to find a stable partner, but he actually found the man who was second only to him in the tribe!
The toned woman glanced at the skinny man next to her and sighed.
Apart from Xiongye and Shili, the most powerful warrior of the younger generation in the tribe is Hu Yue. Unfortunately, Hu Yue is a woman and cannot have children with her. If she looks further ahead... it will be herself!
She really didn't want to have a baby with men who couldn't even beat her and were not good-looking!
The bodybuilding woman was extremely sad. She took the knife and chopped it down hard, easily splitting the leg bone of the ornithomimus into two halves.
These bones will be used to make soup - the marrow inside is a rare delicacy and can also provide them with energy, so it cannot be wasted!
When the bodybuilding woman felt sorry for not being able to give birth to a child for Kumano, Kumano had already arrived at the mountain wall with many caves on the east side of the col, carrying the Lesothosaurus.
Their tribe is called the Big Bear Tribe, because the person who founded the tribe was a man who awakened into a giant brown bear - every orc will awaken at around ten years old, awakening into a different animal, and then they can fight and hunt in animal form. After awakening, everyone will put the awakened animal into their own name.
For example, Kumano, he was called "Ye" before he was ten years old. After he turned ten, he awakened into a brown bear like his father, so the word "Xiong" was added in front of the name, and then he got the name Kumano.
For example, Shi Li, his original name was "Li", but later he awakened and became a lion, so he was called Shi Li.
At the bottom of the east side of the col is a huge cave where the children and the elderly of the tribe live together. Walking up the steps next to it, you can reach the second and third floors. There are many caves for the warriors of the tribe to live in. In front of each cave, there is an aisle about two meters wide.
Shi Li’s cave is on the second floor.
Before Kumano walked up the steps, he saw Shili, wearing an animal skin skirt, lying on a large piece of hay drying at the bottom of the valley, lazily basking in the sun with his eyes half-closed and half-open.
People who awaken as lions love to sleep, just like people who awaken as brown bears are used to hibernation... Shi Li's lazy look is common in the wild bears.
But he was still a little fascinated by it.
He likes Shi Li and can’t get enough of looking at him... Shi Li is really good-looking!
But it’s getting late…
"Shi Li, wake up." Xiong Ye called out, with a smile on his face: "I caught the prey!"
As warriors of the tribe, they go out hunting together every other day, and today is the hunting day.
Shi Li ran a lot in the morning, so he lay down as soon as he came back and didn't want to go out again in the afternoon. But he considered that the food distributed by the tribe might not be enough, so he went out again.
He was lucky and it didn't take him much time to catch a Lesothosaurus.
Although the Lesothosaurus is not big, combined with the food distributed by the tribe, it can ensure that he, Shi Li, and Shi Li's family have enough to eat for the next two days. There will be no group hunting tomorrow, so he and Shi Li can go out to hunt other prey and store them.
After a winter, he lost a lot of weight and his beastly form was no longer strong. Now he urgently needed to eat more.
Shi Li lay on the hay, opened his eyes and looked around, frowned slightly, and quickly closed his eyes again.
"Shi Li, wake up!" Xiong Ye reached out and patted Shi Li on the shoulder.
Shi Li suddenly woke up, and looked at Xiong Ye in surprise: "Xiong Ye? You...you are not..."
Shi Li suddenly shut up, his eyes full of confusion and disbelief, as if Kumano was some terrible dinosaur.
His expression made Xiong Ye feel strange: "Shi Li, what's wrong with you?"
Shi Li didn't say anything. He suddenly jumped up, looked around with a frown, then looked down at himself and pinched his stomach.
Like Xiongye, Shi Li was one of the tallest and strongest people in the tribe. His long brown hair was scattered wildly, with grass leaves on it, fluttering with his movements.
Xiong Ye felt that it was a bit annoying, so he pulled the grass leaf off Shi Li's head.
His action brought Shi Li back to his senses and he looked at him again.
Shi Li's expression changed again and again, and then suddenly he turned into a lion and rushed out.
Xiong Ye watched Shi Li run away in confusion, picked up the animal skin skirt whose straw rope had been broken due to Shi Li's sudden transformation, and walked towards the steps next to him.
There is the lion's cave.
Shi Li, his mother, and his younger brother came to the tribe eight years ago.
It was a summer day. Kumano, who loved to go into the water to catch fish, had just awakened as a brown bear. He saw his uncle catching fish in the river, so he followed him and learned it very well. As a result, he became a little brown bear and caught several big fish that he had never been able to catch before.
He killed the fish and put it by the river, intending to take it back to eat, but he didn't expect a gray lion cub to suddenly jump out and eat his fish...
He pounced on the lion and beat it, knocking the little lion unconscious. He was also frightened and hurried to ask his uncle for help. Later, his uncle took the little lion, its mother and brother back to the tribe.
That little lion is Shi Li.
Shi Li fainted because he was very hungry, but he was not seriously injured. However, his mother was very, very weak and almost died. It was the priest who took out some herbs to save her.
Later, the three of them settled down in the Big Bear Tribe.
However, their family was very weak at that time, so they were not accepted as a member of the tribe. His uncle, the chief of the tribe, only allowed them to live in the tribe and collect food around the tribe.
Three years ago, Shi Li was finally able to participate in hunting, and the tribe accepted them as an outsider. Last year, Shi Li grew up and became more and more powerful, so the tribe allocated a cave for them to live in.
During the years when Shi Li's family had just settled down near the tribe and were not accepted by the tribe, Xiong Ye had always taken good care of Shi Li and always took him to catch fish, small dinosaurs and even insects. The relationship between the two grew better and better, and they were almost inseparable. After they both turned eighteen at the end of last year, they decided to be together, and only each other - they would become partners with the blessing of the Beast God.
But Shi Li was acting weird today... If it were in the past, Shi Li would have pounced on him, discussed with him how to eat this Lesothosaurus, and then praised him.
Kumano was extremely confused.
