Chapter 145: Arena
Jian Mo grabbed the river velvet beast by the back of its neck and lifted it up.
The river velvet beast was obviously a young beast, with a ball of fur like a dandelion. It looked intimidating, but in fact, it had less than two taels of meat.
No wonder Jiujiu kept it first.
Jian Mo stuffed the river velvet beast into the animal shed where the long-tailed bird was kept: "Okay, let's try to raise it. If it dies, don't blame me."
I don't know if Jiujiu understood this sentence, it was sticking its butt out and looking into the animal shed through the window on the wall, looking very focused.
Jian Mo patted it: "Don't look at it, let's go, let's go out hunting and gathering."
Jiujiu looked at Jian Mo, then turned his head to look at the animal shed: "Jiujiu!"
The wind finally stopped, and Jian Mo specially brought a backpack and a few bags.
Wu Jiong changed back to beast form and walked out with Jian Mo on his back.
Jiujiu saw the giant wolf running outside, took a few steps on the spot, and quickly flapped his wings and flew up, following them: "Jiujiu!!!"
Jian Mo and his friends went to the east mountain to collect.
There are usually fewer people going to the east mountain, so they can collect more food.
Things were just as Jian Mo thought, they picked a lot of mushrooms on the mountain - the rain brought by the strong wind made these mushrooms grow very plump and tender, and they looked very tempting. Even if they couldn't eat them all at the moment, it would be a good choice to dry them after picking them.
In addition to mushrooms, they picked a lot of wild vegetables and stems.
Wu Jiong also shot two birds and a long-headed beast.
Maybe because he hadn't been here for several days, today's harvest was particularly rich.
When the sun was still some distance away from setting, the two backpacks and five cloth bags they brought out were full.
There was no room for more, so the two decided to go home and come back tomorrow.
They wrote down the growing locations of some wild vegetables, mushrooms, etc., and when they go out tomorrow, they can just come and pick
them. Halfway through, Jian Mo happened to meet Qing Kuang and his group.
Qing Kuang and his group also collected a lot of food, and this team composed entirely of orcs even had some difficulty carrying the food.
The giant wolf's pace slowed down.
Jian Mo understood: "You help them carry some things back, I just came down for a walk."
The giant wolf turned around and touched Jian Mo with its mouth: "I'll carry them back first, and I'll pick you up later."
Jian Mo: "No need, it's just a short distance, I can get there by just lifting my legs a few times."
Qingkuang and the others were indeed very tired from carrying the things, and at this moment they did not have the strength to refuse the giant wolf's help: "These grass sprouts are too heavy. Maybe it just rained, when we went there, there were grass sprouts all over the ground. I think every family should be able to drink grass sprout soup tonight."
Jian Mo took a look at the grass sprouts while helping to tie them to the giant wolf. He liked these fresh and sweet grass sprouts very much. Whether they were cooked in soup or stir-fried, they tasted very good.
He smiled: "It's also good for making meatball soup."
Qingkuang: "Yes, meatball soup or fishball soup, sprinkle some chopped green onions."
When they said this, they had already tied the supplies to the giant wolf.
The giant wolf nodded at them and strode back.
Jian Mo helped Qingkuang and the others carry another bag of supplies, and mentioned the river velvet beast raised by Jiujiu, and asked: "Has anyone raised a river velvet beast? Is it easy to raise?"
Qingkuang was uncertain: "No, right?"
Then, Qingkuang looked at the others.
Ye Luo said confidently: "No one has ever raised a river velvet beast. It is too small. When it grows up, it is only the amount of meat for a meal. No one wants to bother with it."
Jian Mo: "But it tastes good. Has no one raised one because they are greedy?"
Ye Luo: "Whether it tastes good or not is just the amount of a meal. It is not calculated."
Jian Mo thought about the productivity here and felt that he could understand it.
Ye Luo asked: "Do you want to raise it? The river velvet beast is an omnivore. It can eat grass, fish, and shellfish. It seems to be easy to raise."
Jian Mo nodded: "We have caught the chicks. Let's try to raise them. Anyway, we have a ready-made animal shed at home, so it is not troublesome to raise them."
Everyone walked towards the tribe while chatting.
Before they reached the tribe, they saw a group of cubs fighting across the river.
There was another large group of cubs squatting nearby, forming a big circle, watching the excitement, shouting from time to time, cheering for both sides.
If the fighting cubs had not lost their fur, Jian Mo and the others would have thought that the cubs were playing games.
Although the cubs were small, they fought quite fiercely.
A second before Jian Mo and the others said anything, a sub-orc cub grabbed a little red leopard by its three tails and threw it over his shoulder swiftly.
"Bang--"
The little red leopard fell so hard that dust flew up.
Qing Kuang couldn't hold it in any longer, he shouted with all his might: "What are you doing?!"
The cubs paused, turned around and saw the adults, and panicked, and immediately scattered like birds and beasts, running away quickly: "Ahhhh!!!"
The Riverside Tribe had accepted so many cubs to come for classes and had been mentally prepared for them to fight, but they didn't expect them to fight so fiercely.
"Group fight!" Qing Kuang said angrily, "These kids are really promising."
Ye Luo: "They dared to run after the fight."
Qing Kuang sneered: "What's the point of running? I've remembered them all, I'll go and catch them now."
Jian Mo hurriedly grabbed Qing Kuang: "Don't go. They are all Ban Ju's friends. If you go, I'm afraid Ban Ju won't be able to make friends. Let Dejiang go. I remember that Dejiang taught a class this afternoon, and he taught fighting."
Qing Kuang: "Then I'll go and tell Dejiang."
Qing Kuang: The noise here was so loud that the people in the tribe had heard it.
Dejiang heard it too.
Qing Kuang complained, and Dejiang frowned and went to find someone.
The tall and stern Dejiang quickly picked out the two kids who led the group fight - a little bear and a red leopard.
The two cubs didn't dare to say a word and looked very frustrated.
Behind Dejiang was a large group of human and beast cubs, all of whom were participating in the fight or watching.
Dejiang said coldly: "I will ask your parents to come over."
The cubs looked at each other with a rather subtle expression.
The two cubs held by Dejiang struggled even more.
The little bear tried to beg for mercy: "Teacher Dejiang——"
Dejiang: "I have asked someone to call them. We will deal with it today and don't let it affect tomorrow's class."
The little red beast couldn't help but cover his face with his paws.
Qingkuang sneered: "Now you know you are anxious, but it's too late to be anxious."
The little red beast muttered: "No——"
The cubs actually learned to fight in groups, and everyone ran out to watch.
The beastmen from various tribes who came to pick up the cubs from school also came to watch the excitement.
With so many cubs from the tribe coming together to attend class, the Riverside Tribe must correct the learning atmosphere, so no one spoke up for these cubs.
This group of cubs were called by Dejiang to squat in horse stance. The little bear and the little red beast who led the fight squatted in the front.
No matter whether they were human-shaped or beast-shaped, sweat broke out on their foreheads in a short while.
Jian Mo watched from the side. The little cats, wolves and foxes only stood on their hind legs and squatted slightly. The posture was very unnatural. He couldn't help rubbing his forehead.
These little guys are really pitiful and cute.
However, squatting in animal form is too sinful. I suggest that you change to another punishment method next time.
It can't be changed today. Dejiang is already educating the cubs. There is no other benefit of intervening except to confuse the cubs.
While the cubs were squatting in horse stance, Jian Mo checked their wounds.
Their killing power was limited, and the fight was not serious. At most, they had some bruises and bloody cuts on their bodies, which could be cured by applying some medicated oil.
Jian Mo helped to deal with it and watched the excitement from the side.
Jiujiu, who had just collected the treasures, was also watching the excitement outside the crowd.
Jiujiu wanted to get closer to his little friend, but was afraid of Dejiang, so he could only squat outside quietly.
The beastmen of the Riverside Tribe ran to call for help, and when it was dark, the parents of the little bear and the little red beast finally came.
However -
"Are these your children?! Both of them?!"
Qingkuang stared at the little bear and the little red beast with wide eyes.
These two cubs are brothers!
From the same family!
The two fathers of the cubs looked at each other, looking very tired, and nodded at the same time. The orc father of the two cubs, Jing Qin, said
: "They are twins, one takes my beast form, and the other takes their father's beast form." The orc father of the two cubs, Kong Fan, said: "They are indeed brothers." Everyone was very surprised. De Jiang frowned: "Brothers fighting is more serious." Kong Fan sighed: "We, as fathers, did not teach them well. Sorry." Kong Fan asked the two cubs: "What's wrong with you?" The two cubs were obviously afraid of their father. Little Bear: "Xingyan hit me first!" Little Red Beast: "Rican scolded me first!" Little Bear: "I just said a few words and he hit me!" Little Red Beast: "I hit him accidentally and he asked others to beat me together!" The two little beasts became more and more excited as they talked. Their chests puffed out, their backs arched, their eyes widened, their claws stretched, and they were about to fight again. Their father Jingqin couldn't help but hit each of them: "Shut up!" Qingkuan couldn't help but say: "You have lived together since you were young, right?" Jingqin was tired: "Yes, we have lived together, but they have been fighting since they were young. We don't allow them to fight at home, but we didn't expect these two kids to fight outside." Kongfan: "You didn't beat them enough. After we go back, we will intensify our education." The expressions of the two fathers were really tired. Zhou Fu, who was behind Jian Mo, muttered, "It seems that having many children is not necessarily a good thing." Jian Mo nodded in agreement. Regardless of whether the two cubs were brothers or not, they must be educated if they fought. Dejiang talked to the two fathers and severely criticized the two cubs, saying that if there was a next time, they would not be allowed to come to class. The two cubs were so scared that they clamped their tails tightly. Dejiang educated the other cubs. The other cubs squatted bitterly, listened to the education, and said they didn't dare to do it again. They educated the cubs until dark, and then let the cubs go back to their tribes. Before the orcs of the Xiongying tribe were about to carry their cubs back, Jian Mo hurriedly stopped him: "Xue Yue, when you go back, ask your chief to come over tomorrow. I have something to tell him." Xue Yue: "What do you want me to tell him?" Jian Mo: "You'll know about planting if you ask him to come." Xue Yue nodded: "No problem." The orcs ran back with their cubs on their backs. Wu Jiong said to Dejiang: "It's not possible to prevent the kids from fighting. Let's build a fighting arena in our tribe and let the kids who want to fight go there to fight." Dejiang didn't seem surprised: "Imitate the fighting arena of Mengshui tribe? That's the big fighting arena for gladiatorial contests." Wu Jiong: "Okay, it just so happens that the previous stones are not used up." Dejiang: "Where to build it?" Wu Jiong: "Let's have a meeting to discuss it." Qingkuang said: "It just so happens that I'm free today, I'll go and call someone to come to the meeting." Jian Mo didn't expect them to act so quickly. When it was time for dinner, the families who were notified came out to hold a meeting. Qingkuang and the others also briefly discussed a few locations as alternatives, namely the open space in the tribe, the open space in front of the back mountain, and the open space by the river. There were only more than 300 people in their tribe. After the meeting, they voted by hand, and Jian Mo, the only person who could read, recorded it. There were three open spaces, and each person could only choose one.
At the meeting, Qing Kuang briefly talked about the advantages and disadvantages of the three vacant lots.
Everyone quickly chose, and about 70% of people chose the riverside.
Someone joked in the audience, "The riverside is close to the clinic. If you get injured during the fight, it will be convenient to send you to the clinic."
As soon as the words fell, everyone burst into laughter.
However, the riverside is a large area with beautiful scenery. It is indeed a very good place.
Jian Mo listened to them enthusiastically choosing the address, and then seriously discussing the construction date and the missing materials. His hand, which was recording, paused slightly.
Seeing Jian Mo like this, Wu Jiong asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking about?"
Jian Mo turned to look at Wu Jiong and also lowered his voice: "I'm thinking, if the fighting arena can be built, in addition to the summer harvest festival held in our tribe this year, the hunting conference may also be held in our tribe."
Jian Mo: "Our tribe should really be able to be on par with the Mengshui tribe."
Whether it is comprehensive strength or influence, the Riverside Tribe has caught up.
