A few days later, Miksen and Cangjue led a group of orcs to dig for resources in Blacktooth's territory to see if there was anything usable. They actually found quite a lot and also rescued a few people who weren't quite dead.
Guo Xiaoxiao asked them to keep an eye out for her suitcase and see if they could find it.
Many people thought that Yushan would never recover, but instead, Blacktooth seized the opportunity and became a leading and powerful tribe again.
The place with the black teeth was no longer habitable, so all the females gathered there. Kasha and a few other females who had volunteered to go out reluctantly returned.
Monet didn't seem particularly annoyed when he saw her; after all, she was female, and the more the merrier. He just gave her a few perfunctory words.
"You're back. You've suffered. Take a rest."
Seeing Guo Xiaoxiao's expression change completely, I almost cried tears of joy.
"Xiaoxiao, you're finally back! Are you alright? Are you hurt? Are you hungry?!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Guo Xiaoxiao returned to her cave. The earthquake had destroyed Miksen's cave, making it uninhabitable. She had no choice but to move to an area with more orcs, where she mostly lived with the females.
System open
[System: The integration of the two tribes has been completed. Their food has been dug out and all belongs to the Yushan tribe. You have completed your mission.]
Mission complete. Increased orc food reserves, gained skills, ability upgrades, and 6 bottles of seasoning.
Chili peppers, black pepper, soy sauce, salt, MSG, and corn oil appeared neatly and spontaneously before Guo Xiaoxiao's eyes.
A colorful magic circle appeared below her and was instantly absorbed into her body.
My abilities have been upgraded, and there's even a skill that doesn't require any resources. I really want to try it out.
"Xiaoxiao, I'm back."
Mickson came in carrying animal hides. It was already quite cold, and he was dressed thickly, with a fur collar around his neck. He was carrying prey and a considerable amount of vegetables.
"You're back. Let's stir-fry some vegetables for dinner tonight; we have seasoning."
Guo Xiaoxiao smiled; her smile was bright and pleasant to look at.
Mickelson didn't understand what Guo Xiaoxiao meant by "stir-frying," but seeing that she was happy, she nodded in agreement.
"good"
"You help start the fire."
Mickson quickly put the things in the corner, washed his hands, and started helping. Guo Xiaoxiao washed the vegetables in the puddle, then chopped them into pieces. Once the pan was hot and oil was added, she started stir-frying. Only then did Mickson notice some strange bottles and jars that had appeared around Guo Xiaoxiao again.
"Xiaoxiao, is this yours too?"
"kindness"
"It's quite pretty, but what's it for?"
"It can be used for cooking and eating meat."
"oh"
Mickelson seemed thoughtful, clearly still unsure of its purpose.
Guo Xiaoxiao poured the chopped vegetables onto a hot, oiled flat stone. With a tearing sound, she quickly stirred them with a thin piece of wood, then added salt.
Mickelson watched her practiced movements with a hint of envy; he was quite moved.
"Xiaoxiao is so smart, I can hardly keep up with you anymore."
Guo Xiaoxiao didn't stop what she was doing and said
"No way, you're so skilled, I can't compare. Why don't you put the stone pot you made last time on another fire and stew some meat in it?"
"OK"
Under Guo Xiaoxiao's direction, Miksen placed the stone pot on the fire, put in the remaining vegetables and chopped meat, added simple seasonings, and within minutes the aroma filled the air.
"It smells so good!"
Guo Xiaoxiao swallowed hard, then added some more firewood. Being able to eat something flavorful made her incredibly happy. If only there were rice, though that might not be common in the beast world.
Guo Xiaoxiao communicated using her psychic powers: Cang Jue, Cang Jue is back for dinner.
After their last hunting trip ended with Arthur kidnapping Guo Xiaoxiao, they divided the work: one coordinated matters within the tribe, while the other stayed by her side.
Today it was Cang Jue's turn to handle clan affairs. He heard Guo Xiaoxiao calling him.
"I'm coming right away, wait for me."
Cang Jue rushed to Guo Xiaoxiao's cave and immediately smelled the rich aroma of meat.
He went inside and Guo Xiaoxiao was sprinkling salt and minced garlic into the pot. He couldn't help but swallow hard and said...
"Wow~ Xiaoxiao, it smells so good! Let's eat!"
Mickelson, holding a wooden container of stir-fried vegetables, coldly said, "Wash your hands first."
Cang Jue pouted in grievance and went to wash his hands. Washing hands before meals was a rule Guo Xiaoxiao had established these past few days, and Miksen always used this to get him to do things.
After washing his hands, Cang Jue sat down opposite Guo Xiaoxiao and looked at the bright red slices of meat in the pot. He had never eaten meat like this before, and it was very strange. He used a wooden stick to pry off a piece and tasted it. His face changed instantly.
So delicious, so fresh!
"Is it good?"
Guo Xiaoxiao asked him
"Mmm, this is so delicious!"
"Haha, if it's delicious, eat more! There's plenty more."
Guo Xiaoxiao handed him the stone bowl.
"good"
Mickelson watched the two get along well, feeling a little uneasy. He was still somewhat bothered, but it wasn't a big deal; the meal ended peacefully overall.
After finishing her meal and washing up, Guo Xiaoxiao lay on the leather cushion. She wished she had chopsticks; she'd make a few pairs tomorrow.
Then Guo Xiaoxiao thought about the system skill. The ability enhancement was easy to understand, but the "no consumption" part... she couldn't understand it literally. What did "no consumption" mean? Did it mean using various skills without expending stamina?
Why don't you give it a try?
Miksen and Cangjue were busy, one sorting jerky and the other sewing animal hides. These two clan leaders were efficient and decisive in their work, yet at home they were equally adept at enjoying the aroma of roses – truly capable in both the grand hall and the kitchen.
Guo Xiaoxiao could just be a hands-off manager; she wanted to help, but they wouldn't let her. Besides, she really wasn't cut out for sewing animal hides and making clothes; she could only focus on cooking.
