The Canglang orcs received the order, stood up and hurriedly retreated, shuttling through Cangfeng Ridge.
The leader was on the highest hill in Cangfeng Ridge. From the hilltop, along the way, you can see orcs with their hands and feet shackled, naked upper bodies, and wearing tattered beast leather skirts.
To be precise, they were beast slaves.
The beast slaves used their chained hands to carry stones, or held them in front of their chests, or carried them on their shoulders. Each beast slave was covered in scars, and was closely watched by a group of Canglang orcs while carrying stones.
A few beast slaves were filled with resentment and anger, while most of the beast slaves were numb, as if their souls had been taken away, and they completed their tasks with lifeless eyes like puppets.
When the wolf beastman passed by, an elderly beastman who was skinny as a skeleton fell down due to exhaustion, and the big stone on his shoulder rolled to the ground. This
immediately attracted the angry scolding of a bearded wolf beastman next to him.
"Waste! Hurry up, don't be lazy, if you want to be lazy, go to hell, you don't have to work if you die."
The bearded beastman punched and kicked the beastman fiercely.
The beastmen around stopped for a while, and looked at the bearded beastman and the beastman being beaten on the ground with angry or fearful eyes.
"What are you looking at? If you don't want to die, work harder for me!"
The bearded beastman cursed at the people around him, and kicked the beastman on the ground fiercely, trying to force him to get up by force.
The beast slave struggled to get up, but after trying several times, he collapsed to the ground without any movement.
"Damn it! What bad luck! Drag this guy away for me."
Seeing that the beast slave was dead, the bearded man spitted on him fiercely, with no mercy on his face. He waved to a few brothers and carried the body away.
"What are you looking at? Keep moving!"
"If you don't want to move, I'll kill you now! Don't forget that your partners are still in our tribe. If you don't want them to suffer, work faster! Hurry up!"
The bearded man turned around and continued to curse.
The beast slaves withdrew their gazes, suppressed the anger in their hearts, and continued to move the stones while enduring the humiliation. When the cane
wolf beastman saw this scene, he paused for a moment, then frowned and walked away quickly.
He knew that if he was not a wolf beastman and happened to be of the same tribe as the leader, he would probably end up like this group of beast slaves.
In this world where the strong prey on the weak, few beastmen pity others, because if the other party does not suffer this sin, then they will suffer it themselves.
The beast slaves behind him walked farther and farther away, and soon, the cane wolf beastman stopped in front of a strange house.
The house was silver-black and looked like a big square black box. There was a small hole on the top of the house as big as a head, which was the only air outlet in the house.
"Mr. Witch Doctor, the leader asks you to travel with him in a few days."
The cane wolf beastman respectfully conveyed the message outside the door.
After a while, a voice as calm as water came from the house.
"No."
The refusal was firm and decisive, without any hesitation.
The Canglang beastman was immediately embarrassed and scratched his head, "But, this is the order of the leader..."
After waiting for a while, there was no more sound from inside.
The Canglang beastman was helpless. The beastmen of Cangfeng Ridge knew that the witch doctor had a strange temper, comparable to the leader, and even dared to offend the leader.
The witch doctor was not afraid of the leader, but he was!
How could he tell the leader about this? If he told the leader directly that the witch doctor refused to go out, wouldn't the leader chop him to pieces?
The Canglang beastman went back with a sad face to report.
...
In the tribe, golden fallen leaves were scattered all over the ground.
As winter approached, everyone worked more actively, and the wild fruits in the fields were harvested in three days.
The chief distributed most of the wild fruits, and the remaining small portion was placed in the warehouse for emergency use.
Fox Jiaojiao got the most wild fruits, more than 500 kilograms. The family's warehouse was already piled with a lot of food, and with these potatoes in, the warehouse was almost full.
If it wasn't for the fact that there was no more room, she suspected that the chief would move all the remaining wild fruits into her warehouse.
"The beastmen are really crazy about hoarding supplies. It seems that we have to build two more warehouses in the future..."
Fox Jiaojiao counted the supplies in the warehouse and sighed.
At this rate, two warehouses will not be enough.
Most of the things in the warehouse were smoked meats, in addition to smoked meats and potatoes, there was also the beef sauce she had made earlier.
The other fruits that had been picked earlier were also distributed, mainly grapefruits and persimmons, as well as some special fruits from the beast world that Foxy Jiaojiao couldn't name.
After the persimmons were distributed, Foxy Jiaojiao had already made persimmon cakes. The beastmen were very experienced in making persimmon cakes, and every beastman in the tribe could make them, so she didn't need to teach them at all.
In addition to these, there were also radishes that Foxy Jiaojiao had planted outside the yard, and she also harvested about 200 kilograms.
Foxy Jiaojiao took out half of them to pickle and stored them in stone jars, so that they could be eaten directly in winter, and the remaining half was kept for the cubs to eat fresh.
There are very few kinds of food in the beast world, and even such simple food is considered very abundant in the tribe.
After counting the supplies in the warehouse, Hu Jiaojiao found that Long Mo had returned when she came out.
It was only noon.
Long Mo was naked from the waist up, and he just put the three wild boars he was carrying on the ground. He was sweaty and looked very wild in the sun. His strong and beautiful muscles made people feel that his hormones were bursting.
"Why did you come back so early today?" Hu Jiaojiao came up to him, took a piece of animal skin to wipe Long Mo's sweat, and asked curiously.
"I'm lucky today. I met a family of three of them."
Long Mo glanced at the three wild boars on the ground, looking like he had just received his wages and was handing them in.
In the eyes of male beastmen, supplies are the most important thing, and they have to be handed over to females after they have a partner.
Therefore, the supplies at home have always been managed by Hu Jiaojiao, and Long Mo is only responsible for hard labor. As for where the supplies are used, when to use them, and how much to use, all of them are decided by Hu Jiaojiao, and he never interferes.
"It's their bad luck." When they met Long Mo.
Foxy smiled, "It's just right. You kill these prey. I'll make some snacks for the cubs in the winter."
Wild boars are perfect for pork patties.
Not to mention the cubs, she also likes to eat snacks. In the long winter, she can't let her mouth be lonely.
"Okay."
Long Mo agreed without saying a word.
"Jiaojiao, I..." He put one hand in his pocket and was about to say something when a beastman's voice suddenly came from outside the yard.
"Foxy, the rabbit fence is built. The tribe leader invites you to take a look!"
The beastman's voice was loud, like a thunder thrown into the yard, blowing back Long Mo's words.
Hearing the voice, Foxy immediately became interested and turned to leave the yard.
