Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 122

Chapter 122

Bai Tu smelled himself and realized that he had probably spent most of the day in the cave, so he couldn’t tell any changes from before.

“Stop smelling it, you can’t smell it.” Hei Xiao sighed with a little resentment, “They will only become more and more similar in the future.” The breath of the sub-beast itself is weaker than that of other orcs, and it is almost imperceptible. After spending a long time with other people, especially people like Lang Qi and several cubs who can’t wait to stick with Bai Tu all day long, even if Lang Qi is not around, others will know whose partner this is.

Bai Tu: “…”

Bai Tu: “So you and Yan smell similar, it’s because you have been together for a long time.”

Hei Xiao: “…”

Okay, the two brothers shouldn’t say anything about each other, and they both changed the topic at the same time.

Hei Xiao came to get the blanket, and Bai Tu was just teasing Lang Qi, but he did not lie to him about the blanket, he was planning to find something to surround the eagle eggs. It’s just that I hadn’t decided what to look for yesterday, and this blanket that Lang Qi found was just right. Although it’s not as soft as the one he covered himself with in winter, it’s better than most blankets and animal skins.

“Yan is going back today, is there anything he needs to take with him?” Hei Xiao asked, because the eggs were here. The last time Hei Yan went back, he stayed in the Black Hawk tribe for one day and came here. He came here to rest for two days and now needs to go back again. However, this time I will not return with the next team of Eagle members and will need to stay in the tribe for a few days.

As a leader, you cannot always be outside. Even if the tribe does not have many things to deal with, you still have to suppress the ignorant people and those outside who try to attack the tribe when the leader is away.

“Bring more rubber, and some iron and stone, and more.” Bai Tu said. Although the newly built houses are all one-story, he also plans to build a bungalow, which requires adding stairs and using iron in some places to make the house more solid.

Building a residential area is not something that can be completed overnight. It has been two months since the ice and snow melted, and the foundations of the houses closer to the interior have only just been laid.

However, everyone originally planned to move in after the rainy season, and after the rainy season, as long as the project was completed before winter, it would be fine. Bai Tu told Bai An and others that it was okay to move slowly, as quality was more important than speed.

“No problem, I’ll go back and tell him.” Hei Xiao agreed. Both resources are common in the Black Hawk tribe and are easy to get. The only trouble is the transportation distance.

Thinking of the distance, Hei Xiao sighed: “It would be great if you agree to go back to the Black Hawk tribe. It’s close so you don’t have to send me.” But he just said this. He also knew that Bai Tu didn’t agree last year, and it would be even more impossible this year.

Bai Tu pointed to the other side and said, “If we were in the Black Hawk tribe, there would be no coal and limestone.” These two minerals are also indispensable materials in the development of the tribe. It doesn’t matter where you live. God is fair. He doesn’t put all the materials in the same place. No matter which tribe you live in, there are some materials that need to be transported. It is relatively easy to transport iron ore and rubber. After all, coal and limestone are heavier to transport.

The two brothers sighed to each other, and Bai Tu sighed: “It is impossible for everything to be perfect.” To find all the scarce supplies around a tribe, one must be the chosen one. In fact, it is not bad now, as we can communicate with each other.

Before the two had time to say a few more words on this issue, Lang Qi came in with food. The first thing he brought back was Bai Tu’s food: “You eat first.”

Before, Lang Qi could feed the two cubs by himself, but now there are more cubs, and in order for the cubs to eat at the same time, basically two people feed them. Lang Qi didn’t want Bai Tu to wait for the cubs to finish eating while hungry, so he usually prepared Bai Tu’s food, and when Bai Tu finished eating, the two of them could feed him together.

Hei Xiao saw that Bai Tu’s food was ready, so he didn’t stay in the cave for long. He just told Bai Tu not to forget to check on Cotton Cloth later, and then left.

“Is the cotton cloth ready?” Lang Qi put the food on the table in the bedroom. At first, the two tried to eat outside, but they found it was not as convenient as here, so they simply set aside a separate area in the corner of the bedroom for food. Anyway, the room was big and could accommodate everything.

Lang Qi had heard Bai Tu talk about the making of cotton cloth several times and knew that it was an item that could replace animal skins and blankets. Thinking of the fact that it could replace blankets, Lang Qi paused.

“I already wove a section yesterday, so I should be almost done today.” Bai Tu went to another room to wash his hands, came back and picked up the bowl, tasted it first. Lang Qi’s cooking skills were getting better and better, “This soup is delicious.”

The canteen cooked chicken soup today. Lang Qi added some ingredients after bringing it back from the foot of the mountain and cooked it again. The taste was richer and more fragrant than that made in the canteen, and it was more nutritious. After being with Bai Tu for so long, Lang Qi became more and more adept at doing these things, as if it was not him who cooked that bowl of indescribable food on the road last year.

“I’ll cook for you tomorrow.” Lang Qi said immediately.

“Forget it, tomorrow…” The soup was indeed delicious, but Bai Tu didn’t want to eat the same food for two consecutive days. “I remember the last time I saw the wheat had started to fill with grain, so I’ll go pick some and roast it.” He hadn’t eaten the kind of fresh wheat that was picked directly from the fields and then roasted for many years. People always miss the food of their childhood, but the memories here are limited. Even if they did, he probably didn’t eat anything after entering the Red Eagle Tribe, otherwise he would definitely dream about it. What he missed were naturally the various foods of modern times.

“Okay, roast it.” Lang Qi naturally agreed, “What else do you want to eat?”

“I want to eat roasted sweet potatoes, but I have to wait two months.” Thinking of the soft, glutinous and sweet roasted sweet potatoes, Bai Tu felt that his mouth was watering. But he couldn’t do that. The yield of sweet potatoes is high, but the exchange rate is limited. In order to prepare for next winter, he raised all the sweet potatoes and planted them.

A big part of the reason why they were able to get through this winter so smoothly was the abundance of corn and the food brought back from the Red Eagle Tribe, otherwise the Vulture Tribe would have had to starve. The vultures and the newly captured lions have to work, and they will need more food next winter, and the cubs in the tribe are also growing up slowly.

Bai Tu didn’t want to live off his savings, nor did he want to put all his eggs in one basket, so he planted as many plants as possible. No one knew which one would yield a good harvest in the end, but it would be a good idea to plant more.

Bai Tu’s worries were not groundless. Hunting teams from several tribes had already started hunting since the weather warmed up, but the results of the hunting were not proportional to previous years.

In previous years, although people could not eat enough in the first month after the snow melted, it was still possible to catch some prey every few days to satisfy their hunger. But this year, sometimes a hunting team could go five or six days without getting anything.

The orcs who had been hunting for years clearly noticed a change: the number of prey had decreased again. The decrease in prey did not start this year, it’s just that everyone only remembered the whole process of the gradual decrease in prey when they couldn’t catch any prey.

Fortunately, the tribe already had farmed prey, so they wouldn’t starve even if they didn’t catch any prey for ten days or half a month. But they certainly couldn’t eat as much as they did before.

Due to the rising temperature, Bai Tu’s appetite returned to its previous level. Plus, he was not very hungry in the morning, so a bowl of chicken soup and some staple food was enough to make him full. Lang Qi eats fast, and after the two of them finished their breakfast, the food they prepared for the cubs was just the right temperature to eat.

The cubs are more fragile than adult orcs. They are not good with being too hot or too cold. In this weather, the food usually needs to be left out for a while. It is just right for the two of them to finish their meal.

Several cubs had been eagerly waiting to be fed, but they all knew not to disturb their father while he was eating, so even though they were hungry they waited obediently inside the bed until Wolf Qi came in with the food.

Knowing that this was their food, the wolf cubs leaned over the fence and looked out, standing in a furry row.

Bai Tu adjusted their positions. Today, he was the one taking care of the two bigger ones and the white wolf cub, while Lang Qi was taking care of the other two. They would switch roles at the next meal to ensure fairness.

The two older ones hardly need to be fed. As long as the food is placed there, they will eat by themselves. When eating, the cubs prefer to use the animal form because it is faster.

Bai Tu’s attention is more focused on the white one, not because of its color bias, but because this one is the smallest. Even after raising it for a few months, it is still smaller than the others. It eats very slowly. It can only eat one bite in the time it takes the other two to eat two bites, so it has to be fed alone.

The little wolf cub not only eats slowly, but also eats much less. After taking a few bites, he refuses to eat anymore. Bai Tu put the food away and rubs his belly.

This one was particularly delicate when I had the dream, and it was the same after it was born. Fortunately, although the wolf cubs were domineering, they were very close to the cubs in the same litter, and the other ones would not bully it.

The cubs had limited energy. Not long after they finished eating, they began to yawn one after another, even the two older ones. Bai Tu gently coaxed the cubs and discussed something with Lang Qi.

“Is it time to give these two names?” There is no rush for the other three little ones, but these two have already turned into human form for several months and should be named.

Lang Qi said without any hesitation: “You choose it.”

“Are you sure I should come?” Bai Tu thought that he would ask other orcs in the tribe to come. Shouldn’t the elderly orcs give the name and help bless it?

Lang Qi only said one sentence: “Everyone will be more satisfied with your name.”

There is indeed a custom in the tribe to ask elderly orcs to help choose names, but the origin of this custom is that the orcs think that the older the orcs are, the more favored they are by the Beast God, and they hope to get the blessing of the Beast God through this. But in this past year, Bai Tu has done far more than they had ever gotten from praying to the Beast God. What does this prove? It proves that Bai Tu is more cared for by the Beast God than anyone else. Naturally, everyone will accept the names that Bai Tu helped to come up with.

The task of naming fell on himself. Bai Tu thought for a while and finally decided on Lang Sui and Lang Ying.

As for the names of the other three, Bai Tu chose to follow the custom of the Beast God Continent and name them when the cubs turned into human form after they were three years old.

The name of the cub was decided. Bai Tu sewed a simple small purse with the newly woven cotton cloth in the tribe, dyed it and wrote the name on it. He put some herbs that could repel mosquitoes but were harmless to the cub in it and hung it around the cub’s neck.

I originally wanted to hang it on my wrist, but the claws were too small when it was in animal form and would fall off, so I had to hang it on my neck instead.

There are also three small ones, the difference is that the sachets are smaller and have no names.

The cub who just got a name is not used to the new address yet. He ignores Bai Tu when he calls his name, but turns his head immediately when he calls “baby”.

After the cubs were given names, they continued to eat when they wanted to eat and sleep when they wanted to sleep, and run around when they wanted to play, while Bai Tu started to busy himself with the cotton cloth.

All the white patterns were used for the first piece of cotton cloth, so one can imagine the quality. He originally thought that he could not make the cotton cloth in his memory with his current level of skill, but in fact the final product was much better than he expected. Part of the reason is that after working on weaving blankets and other tasks, the members of the textile team are basically skilled and experienced and know how to weave the cloth smoother. On the other hand, the cotton on the Beast God Continent is larger, the fibers are longer, and the threads spun from it are easier to use and stronger.

Hundreds of kilograms of cotton are deseeded and spun into cotton thread, which is then sent to the loom to be woven into cotton cloth. Large pieces of cotton cloth can be cut into clothes or tools. For example, the mesh screen made earlier would have a better effect if the bottom was replaced with cotton cloth.

Bai Tu’s favorite is clothes made of cotton, which just solves the problem of the small amount of silk fabrics and the excessive heat of animal skins. Clothes made of cotton are breathable and relatively easy to sew. The only drawback is that the color is too monotonous.

After all, the amount of cotton cloth is relatively small. After Bai Tu removed the tools for making it, only a small part is left. The cubs grow too fast, and they are in animal form most of the time. Those under five or six years old are basically running around naked. Each person only needs to make two pairs of shorts.

After the cubs were divided, there were even fewer left. Only a few pieces were left, and they were snatched up by several orcs. What surprised Bai Tu was that most of the orcs who exchanged cotton cloth were not very old, basically the same age as Langze Baiqi, and most of them were male orcs.

Male orcs are larger in size and have bigger appetites. They get hungry quickly after three meals a day and basically need to exchange points for snacks. So even if they earn a lot of points, there won’t be many left. It’s really not easy to save enough points to buy cotton cloth.

The orcs who got the cotton cloth were ecstatic, while those who didn’t were dejected.

The next morning, Bai Tu saw two or three female orcs wearing cotton clothes of different colors appear in the tribe, and he understood immediately.

It turns out that those orcs exchanged the cotton cloth not to wear themselves, but to give it to others. No wonder they were happy about getting it.

Soon Bai Tu discovered that the atmosphere in the tribe began to change. In the past, the orcs in the tribe rarely dressed up because it was not the time yet and they were worried about food. However, the period between winter and summer is the season for orcs to court.

In fact, it should have started some time ago, but the tribe has been busy with planting and housing matters, and even Bai An, the leader, has ignored the need for young men in the tribe to find mates.

The orcs in the Beast God Continent are rarely reserved. Once they take a fancy to a place, they will basically decide on it. In the next few days, Bai Tu received several applications from orcs to change their residence every day.

Previously, single orcs lived in rooms with two people. Young orcs did not like to stay in caves all day, so it was more than enough for two people to live in several small houses divided from a large cave. But now that they have partners, it is not convenient to live with others, so they all seek Bai Tu’s help.

Bai Tu helped to replace those that were easy to replace, and those that were not easy to replace were directly moved to the empty rooms at the foot of the mountain. After all, it was just a temporary residence, and they would move to the residential area together in half a year at most.

The empty rooms at the foot of the mountain were originally intended for entertaining guests, because there were not enough caves behind the wolf tribe orcs who lived here, and some lion tribe orcs behaved well, so it was not convenient for them to live in dormitories all the time. So, two rows of dormitories were built at the foot of the mountain when the residential area was built. Now they are just right for these orcs who have just found partners.

In addition to the things happening in the tribe, Bai Tu discovered that there were some changes in several people around him. Not only has Lang Qi become more and more clingy recently, he basically doesn’t leave the cave unless it is necessary, and some people even don’t want him to leave the cave.

When the temperature outside rose, Bai Tu finished all the things that could be handled in the cave in the room outside. However, there were some things that required him to go out and contact other orcs, and Lang Qi always followed him.

Bai Tu has confirmed that it is not a sequelae of the Chinese medicine used last time, because other than being clingy, everything else is the same as usual and is normal.

Just as strange as Lang Qi is Hei Xiao. Lang Qi is extremely clingy, so Hei Xiao has been guarding against Lang Qi very closely recently. Once he finds an opportunity, he starts verbal attack mode, mocking Lang Qi for sticking to Bai Tu without moving.

Lang Qi ignored his words and continued to cling to him as usual.

On one side is his partner, and on the other is his brother. Bai Tu can only try his best to separate the two.

It was not until Bai Tu was helping a couple choose a house that a rabbit suddenly ran up to him and gave him a piece of meat.

Bai Tu: “???”

Bai Tu was not very familiar with this young rabbit. Although he also participated in the management of the tribe, most of the matters that required communication were handled by Bai An. If not, there were Bai Chen, Bai Qi, Tu Cai and others. Bai Tu mostly helped with planning.

Unable to remember the other person’s name for a moment, Bai Tu said: “Keep it for yourself, I’m not short of food.” Although he did not participate in the physical work, helping to design various plans and remembering how to use various materials was not in vain. Even if these were removed, the medicines he prepared would be enough to exchange for food for himself.

What Bai Tu didn’t expect was that after he said this, the rabbit tribe opposite and Hei Xiao next to him fell silent.

Hei Xiao waved his hand to let the rabbit tribe go back. After a while, he slowly asked: “You know what he is doing, right?”

Bai Tu was a little confused. Did he want to bribe him? This is the first time I have encountered such a situation, and I have no idea what the other party is doing.

Hei Xiao: “…”

Hei Xiao: “Then do you know why Lang Qi has been sticking to you lately?”

Bai Tu shook his head: “I don’t know.” It was because he didn’t know the reason and couldn’t ask, so he was troubled by the two of them being at loggerheads, and tried his best to find excuses to arrange different things for them.

Hei Xiao began to doubt himself.

“So what’s the reason?” Hei Xiao obviously knew the reason, so Bai Tu immediately asked.

Hei Xiao didn’t say anything and pointed to the other side.

Bai Tu looked over and saw a familiar-looking young wolf grabbing another young wolf of about his age and handing the thing in his hand to the other. The two seemed to say something, and then one of them looked over here.

Just when Bai Tu thought that the other party had noticed them peeking and was warning them, the young man suddenly trotted over and said, “Tu, we have to move too.”

Bai Tu seemed to hear the sound of various thoughts colliding in his mind.

Now he knows what’s going on without me telling him. It’s the mating season, and giving food, doesn’t he understand what it means? But he was so busy just now that he didn’t think about it. What does this have to do with Lang Qi’s recent sticking to him?

That night, Bai Tu found out the reason.

Lang Qi put the cub that was sleeping on Bai Tu’s body onto the bed, covered the bed with animal skins, and began to sniff Bai Tu’s scent.

But Bai Tu had already taken a shower after dinner, and now the only scent on his body was theirs and the grass scent of the shower gel, with no other scent left.

Even so, Lang Qi was still not satisfied and bit him viciously: “Did the rabbit tribe send you food today?”

Bai Tu had given up arguing with this dog who always bit him. He raised his hand to push his head away and emphasized: “No!” Even if he didn’t understand what the other party meant at first, he still refused the other party. Is such a small thing worth saying again?

“I knew it,” Lang Qi whispered in his ear, “Did Hei Xiao instigate you to find another partner?”

Bai Tu’s face was full of black lines. These two people were amazing.

“Don’t wrongly accuse my brother, he just can’t stand your domineering attitude.” To be honest, Hei Xiao really had no intention of instigating him to find another partner. Hei Xiao was just not satisfied with Lang Qi’s choice to stop him. He thought that he wanted to end the relationship recently and was dissatisfied with Lang Qi’s close watch on him.

Even so, Hei Xiao didn’t say anything in front of him. He just opposed Lang Qi’s restrictions on his behavior and planned to let him make his own choice.

But today he found out that it was actually a misunderstanding. He didn’t know the reason why Lang Qi was nervous from the beginning to the end.

“That won’t work either.” Lang Qi lay on Bai Tu and rubbed him repeatedly.

Bai Tu heard the wrong voice and was about to comfort him, but when he noticed his movements, his lust-addled mind instantly sobered up: “That’s enough, my brother said it two days ago, you reek of wolf!” How could he not reek of wolf when he was rubbed against by six wolves, one big and five small, all day long.

Lang Qi, who wanted to take the opportunity to assert his sovereignty again, could only stop and look down at him.

The pitiful look successfully made Bai Tu forget his previous insistence.

After a sleepless night, the cubs woke up the next morning to the sound of roosters crowing outside.

Hearing the sound, Bai Tu, who had just fallen asleep, frowned.

Lang Qi, who had been watching him, noticed it immediately, covered his ears with animal skins, and carefully carried the cubs out of the fence: “I’ll feed you today.”

Without their father, the cubs were a little unhappy. The three smaller ones were better, at most they moved around a little and barked a few times. The two big ones were already able to transform into human form, and they changed into human form directly and tried to climb down from Lang Qi.

The beast-form cubs were so small that he could hold two or three in one hand, but when they changed into human form, he could only hold one in one hand. Lang Qi didn’t want these cubs to disturb Bai Tu’s rest, so he picked up Lang Sui and stuffed him under his arm, then picked up Lang Ying and held the other three in his other hand and sent them all outside.

Bai Tu slept until noon, and as soon as he woke up he was handed a cup of warm water: “Drink water first, you can eat soon.” Lang Qi helped him change his clothes with concern.

Bai Tu: “…” Don’t think that just because you perform well you can forget what the other person did yesterday.

But he still had to drink water. After a glass of water, his dry and itchy throat felt much better. Bai Tu tidied himself up, and when he came out of the bathroom, food was already on the table.

“Where are the cubs?” Bai Tu looked at the time. It was already past lunch. Logically, he should have been fed at least twice by now. He wondered if Lang Qi had fed him.

“It’s time to go to bed.” Lang Qi helped Bai Tu serve a bowl of goat milk. Even when they were sleeping, the cubs wanted to find Bai Tu. Of course, Lang Qi would not give them this opportunity. The cubs moved around without any restraint, so what if they woke up Bai Tu?

So after feeding the cubs, Lang Qi decisively packed all the cubs and sent them to the bedroom next door. Anyway, there was no need to build a kang now, so it would be the same anywhere.

Hearing that they were sleeping, Bai Tu didn’t ask any more questions. The cubs sleep longer than they are awake, so it is normal for them to sleep more. Since they have finished eating, there is no need to wake them up.

He didn’t have breakfast, and the little food he had last night had been digested without a trace. Bai Tu ate a little more in one meal than in the past few days. After eating, he couldn’t help but touch his waist and warned Lang Qi: “Be careful.” Although Hei Xiao would not interfere with their relationship for the time being, he would definitely find out if Lang Qi went too far.

Bai Tu didn’t want to give birth to another cub before the three cubs grew up. Besides, five cubs were enough. There were very few orcs in the wolf tribe who had five cubs. Even Lang Qi’s parents only had four children.

Lang Qi did not answer this question. He knew himself well enough to realize that he could not make any blind promises about this issue today.

Bai Tu: “…” Don’t think you can’t tell what he’s thinking.

After finishing his personal business, Bai Tu started asking if anyone was coming over in the morning.

“The orcs from the Flower Bear Tribe are here.” said Lang Qi.

“Pretty fast.” Bai Tu was a little surprised. He didn’t expect that the first to come would be from the Flower Bear Tribe.

Although the orcs of the Black Hawk Tribe contacted various tribes before the winter was completely over, it would take time to send and receive notifications and wait for the orcs to find this side.

It has been a month since the Black Eagle Tribe first came here, and the first tribe came to look for cubs. Bai Tu originally thought that it would be the Brown Bear Tribe or the Black Bear Tribe with a larger number of people, after all, they are a little closer, but no one knew where the Flower Bear Tribe lived.

Lang Qi naturally knew his confusion and explained it: “Other tribes are preparing food, and the Flower Bear Tribe does not need to prepare prey, so they come quickly.”

“Are you coming empty-handed?” Bai Tu asked. In fact, it didn’t matter whether you came empty-handed or not. You couldn’t just not return the cub and separate the mother and child because he didn’t bring a thank-you fee. It’s just that he was worried that someone in the tribe would be unhappy, and besides, some orcs who didn’t want to take the cub back might have some thoughts if he took the cub away without any price.

It cannot be said that giving away food for free will definitely lead to bad parents, but collecting supplies is also a threshold. In fact, the white map is more often just an attitude, and in the end the food will be replenished with other supplies.

Just like the Yellow Lion Tribe and the White Lion Tribe, the food they brought to exchange for the cubs had already been returned when there was a shortage of food over there, but they just didn’t say it openly. Not only him, but Bai An and others also agreed with this approach. No one wanted to use the cubs to gain benefits for themselves.

It’s just that whether they want it or not and whether the other party gives it or not are two different concepts. Bai Tu decided to observe the Flower Bear Tribe carefully before deciding whether to return the giant panda cub.

No matter how you look at it, losing the cub is itself a dereliction of duty.

“It’s not like we’re empty-handed.” Lang Qi’s expression was a little hard to describe, “Let’s go over and take a look.”

“Okay.” Bai Tu went directly to the rooms at the foot of the mountain that were used to receive guests. Only when he arrived did he understand why Lang Qi said that.

A group of orcs were gnawing on bamboo, and there were already quite a few leftovers nearby. On the other side, there are several backpacks, and the baskets contain bamboo, bamboo shoots and other items.

When Bai Chen saw Bai Tu coming over, he immediately walked up to him and explained: “Tu, they are from the Flower Bear Tribe, and they have been eating all the time.”

Bai Tu nodded, a little surprised. He didn’t expect that there were orcs who were pure vegetarians.

After becoming orcs, no matter whether they were carnivores or herbivores before, they basically regard meat as the main source of food. The reason is simple. Meat has higher nutritional value. The energy of a piece of meat is several times or even dozens of times that of the same weight of plants. The problem that can be solved by eating a piece of meat will take more than ten times as long as eating grass. It may be necessary to eat all day long to meet the daily energy needs.

Almost all animals are very vulnerable when eating and are easily attacked. This is not only a safety issue. More importantly, it is rare to get so many plants that suit the orcs’ taste. The stomach function also changes during the transformation process of the orcs. It is not as easy to digest grass as real animals. This is why Bai Tu would look for some food that he had seen in his previous life. In comparison, orcs are more likely to accept food that humans eat.

But even so, what Bai Tu is doing now is to let everyone eat various grains and meat together, and not let the orcs eat only grains, otherwise they will definitely suffer from malnutrition.

Now the Flower Bear Tribe has apparently taken an unusual approach from other orcs and chosen to eat bamboo and bamboo shoots.

It is the same problem as other orcs, the Flower Bear Tribe has a disadvantage in eating bamboo and bamboo shoots. They need to eat continuously, otherwise the energy supplemented by the food will not be enough for the energy consumed by the body.

“Have you asked? What’s going on?” Bai Tu looked at the orc in the room who was still fighting with the food in his hand, and felt that it would be faster to ask Bai Chen.

Bai Chen nodded. He had indeed asked this question just now and knew how the Flower Bear Tribe had changed from a mighty tribe to what it is now.

The area they passed by when they went to the market before was the territory of the Flower Bear Tribe. Because the number of cubs in the tribe was getting smaller and smaller, and they believed the words of a witch doctor, and there was not enough prey in the tribe, the Flower Bear Tribe chose to change its territory.

But changing territory is not an easy thing. The last time the Leopard Tribe was able to move here smoothly from their original tribe was because of the help of the Wolf Tribe and the Snow Rabbit Tribe. And because of the suppression of the Wolf Tribe, other tribes did not dare to bully the new Leopard Tribe. In addition, the food lent by Bai Tu allowed the Leopard Tribe to gain a foothold in the new territory.

After the Flower Bear Tribe left their original territory, the first problem they encountered was hunger. But for the sake of their cubs, the group of orcs chose to endure it. Fearing that they would be attacked by the owner of the territory, they hardly stopped to hunt along the way until they found an unowned territory.

The reason why the territory has not been occupied by any tribe is mostly because there is no prey coming for various reasons.

There is a large area in the territory where the Leopard Tribe lives now that had few plants before. Now an irrigation system has been added and some drought-resistant crops have been planted, which makes the area much better than before.

The new territory found by the Flower Bear Tribe is a bamboo forest. Bamboo grows quickly, and when it grows up, the part close to the ground is just a pole. Most prey do not like to eat bamboo.

There are so many bamboos that they block almost all the sunlight. In addition, the root system is well developed. There are also fewer plants there than in other places. Without food, prey naturally don’t like to go there.

Naturally, that large bamboo forest was despised by the surrounding tribes. Even if the Flower Bear Tribe went there, no orcs would drive them away. It was originally a territory that no one wanted. Whoever likes it can take it, as long as it doesn’t enter one’s own territory.

Moreover, it was not the first time that a tribe had been to that territory before, but they would leave after only a few days. In the territories of other tribes, there were large areas of plants that the prey liked to eat, and each batch of prey would stay for a few days more or less. In the bamboo forest, even if prey passes by, they are just passing by. The prey would like to leave as soon as they arrive on the same day.

In the bamboo forest, there are far fewer opportunities for hunting than in other places. Few tribes could survive in such an environment.

However, the next move of the Flower Bear Tribe shocked all the tribes. They settled down in the bamboo forest and stayed there for a long time. It was not because they did not have special hunting skills, but because they changed their diet from eating prey to eating bamboo.

Eating bamboo is much easier. It is everywhere in the territory. Moreover, in such a large bamboo forest, even if all the people in the Flower Bear Tribe eat bamboo, they cannot keep up with the speed at which the new bamboo grows.

Later, I gained experience from eating bamboo and learned which type of bamboo is the most delicious and which season is the best for digging bamboo shoots.

This time when they came to look for cubs, the orcs from other tribes still needed to spend time preparing items of gratitude, but the Flower Bear Tribe immediately took action, some breaking bamboos and some digging bamboo shoots.

It’s just that the math ability of this group of flower bear orcs didn’t seem to be very good. All the young and old in the tribe came here and kept eating along the way. Halfway through the journey, the bamboo and bamboo shoots they were carrying were already eaten up. Not to mention using bamboo to exchange for cubs, even their own food and drink became a problem.

Fortunately, one of the common abilities of orcs is that they can withstand hunger. Even if they can’t survive for ten days or half a month, they can still hold on for four or five days.

I don’t know whether it was good luck or bad luck, but the orcs of the Flower Bear Tribe did not encounter any patrol teams when they first entered the territory of the Snow Rabbit Tribe, but they found a bamboo field.

After being hungry for four or five days, a group of flower bear orcs saw bamboo and felt like they had returned to their happy hometown, digging and eating it.

Bai Chen sighed when he said this: “This morning when Qi was patrolling with his men, he saw someone digging bamboo. He thought that some tribe came to steal it.”

Bai Qi was wondering at first why there were orcs stealing bamboo. He never expected that they were just orcs looking for cubs. He originally wanted to prepare some food for them, but a group of people hugged the bamboo and refused to let go. There are quite a lot of bamboos in the tribe, and Bai Qi thought that even if a group of people used bamboo as food, how much could they eat? So he let them do it.

But Bai Qi obviously underestimated these orcs. Since they were brought here in the morning, this group of people has not stopped until now. People can’t help but wonder, don’t their teeth hurt after eating for so long?

“Qi has gone to dig the fourth batch.” Bai Chen said. This group of people’s appetite is amazing.

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a shout: “Someone come quickly!”

Bai Chen heard it was Tu Bing’s voice and immediately ran over there.

Bai Tu followed closely.

When the two arrived, Tu Bing was holding something that was moving around in his hands.

When Tu Bing saw Bai Tu, he felt like he had seen a savior: “Tu, what is this?”

Bai Tu: “…” He also wanted to know why there were still people dumping cubs around.
