Guo Xiaoxiao nodded to indicate that she understood.
What are their names?
Some have names, some don't; generally, it's the female who names them.
Cang Jue casually picked up a baby eagle and let them stand on his arm, looking exactly like an eagle trainer.
Guo Xiaoxiao felt the softness of the sand, each toe felt...
Itchy
Cang Jue put the little eagle down and said to them...
"Play by yourselves, I'll treat you to some meat later."
"Chirp chirp"
They scattered and started rolling and playing in the sandpit again.
The sandpit offered a fantastic view, providing a panoramic vista of the surrounding environment. Guo Xiaoxiao could see a distant forest and a large river, with fish occasionally leaping out of the water. A chill ran through her.
"It's so cold"
She shrank her neck, and Guo Xiaoxiao rubbed her arms.
"Winter is approaching, and the temperature difference is significant. It starts to get cold after noon, so we need to prepare animal hides for you for winter."
Guo Xiaoxiao was very thin and was wearing the animal skin that Amansa wore when she was a cub. An ordinary female like her couldn't possibly wear it. Cang Jue thought that Guo Xiaoxiao needed to take better care of herself; being too thin made her weak, and in the beast world, she would suffer from many illnesses that were difficult to cure.
"I remember you said you'd take me back yesterday. My animal hides are in the Yushan tribe, so I'll go back and get them."
It's more convenient to wear your own clothes in the suitcase. Guo Xiaoxiao was just asking; she didn't think Cang Jue would readily agree.
Upon hearing this, Guo Xiaoxiao remembered the words Cang Jue had used to coax her yesterday.
So clear-headed, truly persistent. But the thought of losing the duel and having her taken back filled him with a sliver of worry. For such a powerful orc to have such thoughts made Cang Jue feel a pang of shame for his own cowardice. He said...
"Don't panic, there will be a chance to go back during the later duels."
You said it.
"kindness"
Cang Jue gave a soft "hmm," thinking to himself, "Go back where? From now on, the Sishui tribe is your home. Don't go anywhere else. He'll definitely win the duel. Kill Miken and put an end to Guo Xiaoxiao's hopes."
A sinister glint flashed in Cang Jue's eyes. He took Guo Xiaoxiao's hand, and the two walked side by side on the sand pit, overlooking the beautiful landscape. The sunlight shone on their shadows, which overlapped.
…
Yushan Tribe
"hateful"
Mickelson punched a tree.
The tree trunk creaked and groaned, and several males nearby asked...
"What's the situation like in the Sishui tribe?"
Mickelson was panting, his eyes fixed on what lay ahead.
Mikel looked troubled. The two of them quietly slipped out of the sight of the Sishui tribe orcs and scouted around.
Those wretched birds are ruthless! They've completely destroyed the path leading to the summit, leaving no way up except for winged orcs.
It was obvious they had anticipated this and correctly guessed that Mickson and his team would be furious and try to take him away.
In the beast world, the amount of treasure a beastman possesses is a symbol of a tribe's status. If a female is taken away, not only will other tribes mock the males for being too weak, but more importantly, it will cause serious problems for the tribe's future survival. A single female can give birth to 5-10 cubs a year, making even one incredibly precious.
Therefore, the abduction of a female is a provocation and an extremely serious matter.
"Those bastards, I'm going to kill them!"
Mickelson gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage, having lost his usual composure.
Several males nearby chimed in, all grumbling and cursing.
"Yes, we must wipe them out!"
"I've disliked them for a long time."
Mikel still had some sense left, he said
"Those birds can fly, and even though we're stationed at the foot of the Gobi Desert, there's nothing we can do about them."
Mickelson thought for a moment, then looked towards the stream, a glint of inspiration in his eyes. The place where Cang Jue lived was in a treacherous location, inaccessible to them, but it had a fatal weakness.
There is no water source up there, so they have to come up to the surface to get it for their livelihood, he said.
"There is no water on them."
Mikel understood immediately and suggested...
"We'll take turns sending orcs to stake out upstream and downstream on their side, catching as many as we can."
Mickelson nodded in satisfaction.
The others agreed.
"Yes, they wouldn't leave without even preparing water, they'll definitely come down to fetch some."
"This is a good plan, let's make arrangements immediately."
"Send ten men tonight to take turns keeping watch over their area!"
Mikel said
"Find a level 1 ring orc; signal if there's any movement by roaring."
...
Evening
"Chirp chirp chirp"
"Chirp chirp chirp"
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp"
The cubs of the Sishui tribe were being led around by a male beast, playing everywhere they went, creating a lively scene.
Cang Jue looked up and saw a sky full of brilliant stars; the moon had already risen, but his heart remained unsettled.
Guo Xiaoxiao lay on the animal skin with her back to Cang Jue. Cang Jue assumed she was asleep and didn't disturb her, but Guo Xiaoxiao was in high spirits.
She was looking at the task interface provided by the system.
Beginner Task
1. Obtain fifty kinds of plant leaves, reward: energy potion. (Incomplete)
2. A five-piece kitchen set will be awarded as a reward for successfully growing corn (not yet claimed).
3. Obtaining a male and forming a mate rewards you with a resurrection spell if you do not accept it once.
4…
5…
There's another quest: upgrade the Healing spell to Medium Wound Healing, and the reward skill requires no cost? (Unaccepted)
What kind of nonsense is this? It requires no consumption, so what's the use?
Guo Xiaoxiao's mind was racing. She clicked on the description: "Accumulated uses increase the proficiency of the healing spell. When the proficiency is full, it upgrades to an intermediate healing spell, granting new skills without consuming resources."
That's all. What does "no need to consume" mean? It wasn't explained clearly. Fifty kinds of plant leaves are easy; just take them back to the bag in the cave and sort them out. It's practically done.
Take it one step at a time: plant corn, upgrade healing spells, and accept...
