Chapter 293 Raising Lambs



"Wang, A-Tang, you've arrived."

Yingjie's eyes lit up when he saw the two people approaching.

Seeing that Su Tang and Si Bao's attention seemed to be on the lamb, Hu Shen also cast a glance at them.

Eagle immediately explained:

"This lamb was born not long ago. Today, while hunting, we found that the mother sheep had been killed by wolves, and the lamb itself couldn't survive, so we brought it back."

Hunting without capturing wild animal cubs is an unwritten rule among various orc tribes.

Although wild animal cubs are easier to catch, if everyone catches cubs, wild animals will become extinct.

The orcs then lost their food source.

However, since this lamb has lost its mother and is going to die anyway, it's better to bring it back to fill its stomach, which is also in accordance with the rules.

Su Tang looked at the little lamb. This short-legged sheep was plump and still a lamb. It could not only eat but also shed wool, making it perfect for raising!

She remembered seeing what appeared to be a large grassland near the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain today.

Mount Wanshou is not suitable for planting, but it is very suitable for raising animals.

If animal husbandry could be established here, it would greatly improve the food problem for the beastmen of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Hu Shen saved him multiple times and used a precious divine stone to heal Si Bao's throat. Moreover, Wan Shou Mountain was the former home of the children's biological father.

She sincerely hoped that Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain would get better and better.

Of course, this is assuming you don't compete with her for the baby.

Su Tang gazed at the lamb, her mind racing, her eyes sparkling.

Hu Shen nodded upon hearing this, and seeing Su Tang staring intently at the lamb, he assumed she was craving it.

Lamb meat is at its most tender and delicious, and many animals crave it.

Hu Shen stepped forward and picked up the lamb.

The lamb sensed danger approaching and felt a tightness in its anus. It immediately stopped bleating, its limbs drooping down, looking like it was ready to be slaughtered.

"A-Tang, here's a little lamb for you." Hu Shen carried the lamb to Su Tang.

Just as Su Tang was thinking about how to get the lamb, Hu Shen brought it over.

"Thank you. Can I take it back to the cave and take care of it myself?" Su Tang blinked; she wanted to put the lamb in the pasture.

Once a lamb grows into a flock of lambs, we'll find an opportunity to take them out and raise them in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

"Okay." Hu Shen assumed she was just embarrassed because there were too many beastmen around.

I agreed without even thinking about it.

Hu Shen escorted Su Tang back to the cave, and also asked them for two wolves, and brought the ewe along as well.

Yingjie and his men went hunting today and managed to wipe out a small pack of wolves in one fell swoop.

Back in the cave, Hu Shen didn't stay long before going to deal with matters concerning Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain.

Su Tang immediately placed the lamb in the space's pasture.

Once inside the pasture, the lambs' anxiety about being separated from their mothers seemed to be soothed, and they obediently ate feed, drank water, and slept.

After adding a bundle of feed to ensure the lambs could eat until they were ready for market, Su Tang went to check on the farm again.

I've been harvesting crops twice a day recently, and my warehouse is full of crop fruits and gold coins.

With a wave of his hand, Su Tang upgraded two plots of land with a single click.

Black soil can grow high-quality crops, and thinking of the dusty Ganoderma lucidum in the warehouse, she planted it without hesitation.

This is great stuff; with the upgraded farm space, the results are even better.

Su Tang is busy in the farm space.

Sibao ran around all morning and is now fast asleep in the cave.

Su Jianyuan and Da Qing had put their minds at ease and weren't in a hurry to go back.

Last time he came, Su Jianyuan hadn't had a chance to properly see what the largest orc tribe on the continent looked like. This time, he had to take a good look.

Daqing was like a curious child; he would even join in listening to the gossip of the aunties in the tribe.

It was said that Daqing was a wandering beastman. At first, the beastmen of Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain did not dare to approach him. However, he quickly became friends with the gossiping aunties under the trees, and everyone gradually let down their guard against him.

It seems that not all wandering orcs are despicable...

Inside the cave.

Hu Sha was angry all night, and by noon, her stomach started growling.

"Husha, Yingjie has caught a lamb. Don't you love eating young animals that haven't grown up yet?"

When Shu Jin saw the lamb that Ying Jie had caught, he immediately came to tell Hu Sha.

His tiny, beady eyes were full of flattery.

"Husha, don't be angry. What if you ruin your health by getting angry? You can't stop eating even if you're angry."

Husha was indeed hungry; she hadn't eaten anything yesterday because she was so angry.

Where is the lamb?

She likes to eat small animals and dislikes eating old and tough prey. Even though there are rules in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, she has always secretly asked the beastmen to catch wild animal cubs for her to eat.

However, with the recent influx of orcs fleeing the disaster, hunting has become difficult, and she hasn't eaten the meat of wild beast cubs in a long time.

Thinking about it that way, I do feel a bit hungry.

Shu Jin's face lit up with joy, and he eagerly led Hu Sha over.

As they walked, one of them remarked, "This little lamb is so tender today, it's still nursing..."

In the past, they wouldn't have dared to bring it back even if they did.

Hu Sha's mouth watered as she listened.

However, when the two arrived at the place where Yingjie had brought back his prey, they only saw wolf fur and wool scattered on the ground.

Several eagle-clan orcs were cleaning the ground there.

"Where's the lamb?" Hu Sha stared at Shu Jin with wide eyes when she saw no lambs, not even a single prey left for her.

"They were just here a moment ago! I saw they brought back a lot of prey, but they're all gone..."

Shu Jin was also a bit dumbfounded. In the past, when the king's men brought back prey, Hu Sha would always be the first to choose.

Why didn't we wait for them today?

Seeing that Hu Sha was angry, Shu Jin quickly stepped forward to ask the eagle-clan beastman.

"Where did the prey you caught today go? Hu Sha hasn't even picked it yet, why did you take it all?" Shu Jin asked somewhat discontentedly.

The eagle-clan orc stopped what he was doing and glanced at him and Hu Sha.

"Wang took it and gave it to Atang."

"That female again?!" Upon hearing this name, Hu Sha felt her suppressed anger rise up again.

They stole her brother Hu Shen, and now they're even trying to steal the little animal cubs she loves!

This female is so annoying!

Upon hearing that it was Wang who took it, Shu Jin had no choice but to ask again, "What about the other prey?"

"Wang said that Hu Sha is already an adult. There are no exceptions. She can either receive food according to the quota like other females, or she can find a mate. There will be no more prey for her to choose from."

The eagle-clan orc said mercilessly.

Hu Shen was away from the tribe for a while, and the other beastmen, considering that Hu Sha was raised by the old beast king, always gave way to her.

Now that Hu Shen is back, he won't spoil her.

Hu Sha was so angry she was practically fuming.

Damn females!

She must have instigated Brother Hu Shen to do this!

A sinister glint flashed in Hu Sha's eyes. Since that's how it is, then don't blame her for being impolite...
