"It's not completely healed, but it no longer affects normal movement." Hu Shen turned around, glanced at the two shocked beasts, and answered in a deep voice.
After eating the fruit, he took a nap and felt that the pain in his body had disappeared and his strength had returned. However, his wounds had not yet healed and there was still a risk of them getting worse.
Niu Li and Ying Jie stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Even just being able to stand up is a miracle!
Others may not know, but they certainly do. At this time yesterday, Wang was still unconscious and on the verge of death!
"Yingjie, what you found really is a divine fruit!" Niu Li exclaimed in astonishment.
Ying Jie said with a hint of pride, "That must be a gift from the Beast God to the King, otherwise how could I have found the divine fruit?"
After saying that, he looked excitedly at Hu Shen.
"Your Majesty, if things continue like this, your injuries will heal completely after a period of rest. Then we will definitely beat those traitors so badly that they will be begging for mercy on their knees!"
As long as the king is still alive, they still have hope of victory!
Hu Shen glanced indifferently at the two beasts and said coldly:
"I have decided to leave here tomorrow and join the other orcs."
The cubs are very likely in the hands of traitors. He must find them and retrieve the cubs as soon as possible; he cannot delay any longer.
"Yes, rendezvous, then beat those traitors to a pulp... Wait!" Yingjie was excited when he suddenly realized something was wrong and exclaimed in surprise, "Tomorrow? But Your Majesty, your injuries haven't fully healed yet, this is very dangerous..."
“Yes, Your Majesty, we should at least wait until your wounds have fully healed!” Niu Li said with a worried expression.
"There's no time to waste, we'll set off tomorrow." Hu Shen's voice was deep and uncompromising.
Seeing this, the two beasts dared not try to persuade them any further.
They knew that the king wanted to find his cub as soon as possible, and that the cub was more important to the king than his own life.
"My lord, we caught three prey today. I'll kill them now. Eat more so your wounds will heal faster." Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Yingjie could only change the subject.
Niu Li, unusually, didn't argue. He carried the prey and prepared to go with Ying Jie to the water source to kill it.
The prey consisted of two black goats and one sika deer. The sika deer was still alive. Yingjie had originally planned to eat them tomorrow, as two prey animals would be enough for the three of them.
But since I'm leaving tomorrow, I'll deal with it all at once today.
Hu Shen suddenly remembered something, opened his eyes, and looked at the two beasts:
"Wait a minute."
The two beasts stopped and looked at Hu Shen with confusion. "Your Majesty, is there anything else you need?"
"Leave this deer here. Tomorrow morning, take it to the place where you found the divine fruit," Hu Shen said solemnly.
Having eaten the divine fruit, regardless of whether it was a gift from the Beast God, I should reciprocate with something.
"Yes," Yingjie quickly replied.
He had already decided that these were divine fruits sent by the orcs. There was nothing wrong with offering some prey to the beast god. Perhaps the beast god would sense their sincerity and send them divine fruits in the future!
Thinking of this, Yingjie became even more attentive.
Having decided whether to stay or leave, Hu Shen closed his eyes, rested, and stopped talking.
...
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Su Tang and her family woke up.
Orcs don't sleep until noon. Although his family used to be lazy beasts, they had just fled here and had been traveling through wind and rain, working from dawn till dusk, so their routines were normal.
The family ate apples for breakfast as usual and had a full meal.
Su Tang didn't forget to make apple puree, feeding the cubs until their bellies were round and full.
After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, it's time to get back to work.
The beast family hasn't left home yet. Su Jianyuan learned to transform into beast form yesterday, but hasn't had time to teach them.
This matter cannot be delayed; we must learn it as soon as possible to avoid the orcs noticing anything amiss.
The excuse was the same as yesterday. Xiao Fu wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he patiently taught them how to transform into beast forms.
Now, even if he tells him that his mother and the others can't transform into beast forms, he doesn't care anymore.
As long as he has food and shelter, whether he's in beast form or not doesn't matter.
After some effort, Su Tang and the others quickly mastered the method of transforming into beast forms.
Su Shiwei and Su Jianyuan are twins, and they also share the same beast form—both are leopards, robust and imposing, and are currently the strongest in the entire family in their beast form.
Su Guodong's beast form is a fox, which looks weak and harmless.
Su Tang's animal form is inherited from Lin Xia; she is an all-white cat, except that Lin Xia has short fur while she has long fur.
It took Su Tang a while to get used to seeing her hands and feet transformed into cat paws.
It clumsily raised its pink paws, touched its ears, and wiggled its tail, finding the sensation quite peculiar.
She never imagined that one day, she, who hated furry things the most, would become a furry cat herself!
The whole family consisted of furry animals. Standing together, Su Tang had the illusion of entering a zoo.
"Little sister, your beast form is so cute! Much cuter than your human form. Let me pet you. I've never petted a beastman cat before..."
Su Jianyuan playfully rubbed Su Tang's cat head twice.
No tough guy could resist such an adorable cat!
Su Tang's face darkened.
"roll!"
She used her paw pads to forcefully slap Su Jianyuan's hand away, jumped aside, and transformed back into human form.
If she weren't worried about Su Jianyuan getting tetanus and rabies here, she would have scratched his face a few times today.
Su Jianyuan chuckled, showing no anger whatsoever.
The Su family members all rolled their eyes at him. This kid had always liked to provoke Su Tang since he was a child, and he never learned his lesson no matter how many times he was beaten.
Having learned how to transform into beast forms, the group began another busy day.
As usual, Xiao Fu took Su Jianyuan hunting, while Su Guodong and his son Su Shiwei went to chop wood to prepare materials for building a wooden house.
Lin Xia also mentioned the priority of building toilets to Su Shiwei. Su Shiwei naturally had no objection. His mother's and sister's needs were his needs, and he had to fully support them!
Everyone in the family was busy with their own tasks.
Su Tang also has a task today. There are no tableware or utensils at home, and she can't keep using leaves as substitutes. She needs to find a way to make some utensils.
"Tangtang, I asked Xiaofu yesterday, and the beastmen here all use stones to make utensils. What should we use to make them?" Lin Xia asked Su Tang for her opinion as usual.
Su Tang is the family's strategist. In the past, the couple would consult Su Tang on all matters, big and small.
"The stone won't do; it's too difficult to polish."
Su Tang shook her head.
The main breadwinners in their family are not at home right now; it's just her and her mother polishing stones. Who knows when they'll be able to use tableware again?
Moreover, there are no tools for polishing here. Orcs polish with their claws, and even if they polished their two cat claws flat, they wouldn't be able to polish anything decent.
"What should we use? There's nothing usable here..."
Lin Xia looked worried.
She's fine with housework, but she's really not good at wilderness survival!
