Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Hei Yan was halfway through the journey when he remembered that he had forgotten something. He had even forgotten to say something harsh to Bai Tu before coming out. He was just getting angry with himself when he met this group of strange orcs.

Worried that the people in the tribe would regard the Eagle Tribe as invaders, Bai An introduced several members of the Black Eagle Tribe to everyone on the first night they arrived. Similarly, the Eagle Tribe also remembered the orcs from the Snow Rabbit Tribe. Those who sneaked into the Rabbit Tribe’s territory, whom they did not know, were of course orcs with bad intentions.

Heiyan’s temper flared up immediately, and without saying a word, he led a few Eagle tribesmen to start fighting.

The unchanging principle in any tribe is that the leader leads the same people. Heiyan has a bad temper, and the Eagle Tribe he leads is not a good person either. The wings of the Feather Tribe played a huge role at this time, and they could flap their wings and quickly dodge away.

Because they couldn’t contact their lion friends, several lion and eagle tribesmen who had finally sneaked into the territory of the Snow Rabbit Tribe were beaten up without saying a word when they met their friends. Before they could transform into beasts to fight back, Hei Yan directly threw out a bunch of vines: “Tie them up!”

He didn’t know these orcs, and he definitely couldn’t let them go like this. They must be tied up, all of them. When boss Hei Yan is unhappy, no one can be let go!

The Eagle Tribe that had gone out in a hurry came back in a hurry again, bringing a group of bruised and battered orcs. Bai An had already led the hunting team out. The orcs at the foot of the mountain didn’t know what to do, so they hurried to the back mountain to call out Bai Tu who was picking mushrooms.

Bai Tu was called back not long after he arrived at the back mountain. The orc who delivered the message did not explain clearly, only saying that Hei Yan was back. When he returned to the front of the mountain, he found out that he had met someone who was planning to sneak into the rabbit tribe.

Bai Tu looked at a few orcs who were not much stronger than Shi Peng, and combined with the direction from which Hei Yan met them, he had the answer in his mind: “From the Mad Lion Tribe?”

The youngest orc widened his eyes: “How do you know?!”

Bai Tu: “…” Is there any need to ask? They came from the north and sneaked in. It couldn’t be any other race except the Lion Tribe. And several Lion Tribes are currently busy discussing how to divide the Mad Lion Tribe’s territory. The only option that has the leisure to sneak into the Snow Rabbit Tribe at this time is the Mad Lion Tribe.

Without answering the other party’s question, Bai Tu only said eight words: “Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist.”

Before the lions could speak, Hei Yan, who didn’t understand, asked first: “What do you mean?”

Hei Xiao pinched him: “Don’t talk.”

Hei Yan, who was warned by Hei Xiao, shut up aggrievedly, and then glared at Bai Tu.

Bai Tu glanced at Hei Yan and explained very considerately: “If you tell the truth, I will let you off lightly. If you don’t tell the truth, you will be severely punished.”

Hei Yan snorted and said disdainfully: “What can you do if I don’t tell you?” He will be beaten up anyway. What’s the point of saying so much?

“Then we have to use some tricks.” Bai Tu thought for a few seconds, “I heard that the lion’s nails are very sharp? It should be good to pull them off and make knife tips. The teeth are also sharp. Knock them off and tie them to the top of a wooden stick. They are more useful than the sharp wood…”

Hearing this, the lions couldn’t help but shiver and hid their hands behind their backs at the same time.

Only Heiyan was interested in this topic and instantly became excited: “Then what? What else can we do?” As he spoke, he looked at the lion tribe with interest, as if he was considering where to start.

Hei Xiao naturally took over Bai Tu’s words: “The lion’s fur is wide and can be used to make a bed.”

“Really?” Hei Yan was surprised.

The rabbit tribe was in a very complicated mood. Bai Tu behaved very gently in front of everyone and would not say much every time he was asked by Bai An. They did not expect that he had so many ways to deal with others. What was even more terrifying was that Hei Xiao’s words were completely connected with Bai Tu’s. For a moment, they did not know whether they should be shocked by Bai Tu’s performance or feel guilty that as members of the same rabbit tribe, they were not as good as Hei Xiao in understanding Bai Tu’s thoughts.

The mood of the Lion Tribe was not so changeable. They were only filled with fear. Entering the territory of other tribes without permission was tantamount to a provocation. They were already terrified, and became even more afraid after being beaten by Hei Yan. When they were tied here, they heard what Bai Tu and Hei Xiao said. The key point was that Hei Yan was picking and choosing beside them, as if he was about to take action. The group of people were almost scared to death.

Those who were sent by the Mad Lion Tribe to check the situation were all orcs of relatively low status, because the place where they now lived had to pass through the territories of other lion tribes to reach the Snow Rabbit Tribe, which was very dangerous, and the orcs of high status were unwilling to take risks. However, even though they had experienced several battles and escaped death from the claws of other lions, none of them were as terrifying as what they experienced today. Seeing that Heiyan was really going to untie them, several lions were even more scared than when they were tied up.

The smallest lion saw the hand about to fall on him, and he closed his eyes and howled: “I’ll say it! I’ll say it!”

With the first one, the remaining orcs quickly made their positions clear: “I’ll say it too, I’ll say it–” They were afraid that they would be skinned if they spoke too slowly. This tribe was too scary. How could a tribe be willing to pull out nails, teeth and skin over a disagreement?

“Go ahead.” Bai Tu nodded.

The youngest orc began to speak, and the others supplemented their words one by one. Bai Tu listened on the side and restored the whole situation.

After Shi Hong retreated with the few orcs, many of the remaining small chiefs of the Crazy Lion Tribe were very dissatisfied with Shi Hong. As the patriarch, Shi Hong failed to keep the tribe’s territory, and his appeal in the tribe plummeted. The male lions who did not participate in hunting could not even guard the territory, and could be considered waste. However, due to Shi Hong’s combat effectiveness, most of the small chiefs did not dare to express their dissatisfaction directly.

Due to the lack of food and salt, the Mad Lion Tribe had a very difficult rainy season. During this period, more than half of the injured orcs died, leaving only a group with lighter injuries. These orcs had to eat the limited food and from time to time had to contribute to the open and secret struggles among the small chiefs. Their lives were simply miserable. It was not until the end of the rainy season that Foxbu stepped in to mediate. The small leaders stopped fighting each other as they did before and openly obeyed Shihong’s arrangements. As they were able to gradually catch food, life in the Crazy Lion Tribe was no longer as difficult as it was during the rainy season.

After the rainy season ended, Foxbu told everyone that he had found a way to survive the winter and asked the entire tribe to do as he told them. Two days later, he led everyone to dig the grass around them. Some people were puzzled, but Foxbu said it could be used in the winter.

Foxbuk knows medicine and knows about herbs, so everyone trusts him when it comes to plants, so he just follows orders. However, he has only been digging grass for half a month and has done nothing else. The lion tribe, which has been hungry for a long time due to the rainy season, is becoming increasingly dissatisfied, and Foxbuk has become anxious for some reason in the past two days.

Until this morning, Foxbu found two small leaders and asked them to find a way to enter the territory of the Snow Rabbit Tribe to find a lion tribe. After the small leaders agreed, they did not want to come in person, so they turned around and assigned the task to the lion tribe following them. The latter knew Shi Peng and didn’t understand why it was so good to find an orc of such a low status. It was so dangerous to cross several lion tribes to find someone, and they didn’t want to do it either. They couldn’t obey the orders of the little leader, but they could let others do it.

So, layer by layer, the orcs didn’t know how many layers they had gone through. They only knew that Lord Foxstep asked them to come to the Snow Rabbit Tribe to find Shipeng. Their identities were equivalent to Shipeng’s, and they were the lowest in the tribe. They had no right to give orders, so they had to come here even if they were afraid.

These lions were obviously not as respected as the lion friends, nor as scheming as the lion friends. They told the whole story like pouring beans, and after they finished they were afraid that what they said was not detailed enough, and they wanted to tell him how many meals the lions ate in a day.

After listening to this, Bai Tu found a pile of grass and pointed out that they were the weeds that the rabbit tribe prepared for the pigs and cows to survive the winter. He was indeed not lying.

In that case… Bai Tu thought about it, went to the cave and got a packet of medicine, diluted it with water and let a few people drink it.

The lion tribe was full of fear of the unfamiliar potion, but they were afraid that Bai Tu would keep his promise if they didn’t drink it, so they finally gritted their teeth and drank it.

Seeing that they had finished drinking, Bai Tu called Tuwan over: “Wan, take them to transport grass.” The rabbit tribe does not keep idle people, as long as they can transform into human form, they have a task. The five lion tribes are also a considerable labor force, so it is better to arrange them to transport grass.

“Don’t untie the vines on them, just follow and watch.” After giving the order to Tuwan, Bai Tu turned around and reminded several lions, “The medicine you just drank was prepared by the Eagle witch doctor. If you don’t drink the second dose by this time tomorrow, you will vomit blood and die. If you don’t believe me, you can try it.”

“It’s okay not to drink it.” Hei Xiao interrupted and glanced at several lions, “It’s just right to directly…” The rest of the words were too soft for the orcs to hear, but it did not stop everyone from being scared.

These two people are more vicious than each other! So horrible!

The lion tribe, who had little resistance to begin with, immediately followed Tuwan to work obediently. They did not dare to question the truth of Bai Tu’s words. The witch doctors in the Beast God Continent were omnipotent and knew everything, so it was not surprising that they could come up with one or two special prescriptions. No wonder the little leader and his men didn’t dare to come over. They suddenly realized that they had guessed the truth. The others must have known how dangerous it was to come to the Rabbit Tribe, so they let them come over.

I thought that crossing the territories of other lions was the most difficult thing, but it turned out that the more dangerous situation was in the rabbit tribe. Several lions were shocked and scared, fearing that they would not be able to get tomorrow’s medicine if they did not work hard, so they just did whatever Rabbit Bay said.

Heiyan used vines to tie up his prey. The vines were very tough and the prey couldn’t break free even if they turned into their original form. In addition, there was more than one rabbit tribe member around Tuwan, so Bai Tu handed the person over to them without worry. The half-tied lion tribe member was indeed a good transport force.

Seeing the lion tribe being taken to the place where the grass was cut, Hei Yan snorted in dissatisfaction. He also wanted to see if the lion tribe’s fur was as comfortable as Hei Xiao said.

“What are you thinking about? Go catch prey. Didn’t you say you were going to catch a bunch of prey cubs today?” Hei Xiao said. Bai Tu cooperated and looked behind Hei Yan, but of course there was nothing.

“I’ll go right away!” I absolutely cannot be outdone by Bai Tu! Heiyan set off again with great momentum, heading straight for the group of prey.

The most important reason why Bai Tu asked the Eagle Tribe to help catch prey cubs is the Eagle Tribe’s hunting method.

Unlike most four-clawed orcs, the Eagle Clan uses their wings more for hunting. If the prey is small, the beast-shaped Eagle Clan can fly into the air and land quickly to catch the prey directly before the prey group can react.

If it is a large prey, the eagle tribe likes to drive away all the surrounding prey and leave only the selected one, and tie up the prey with vines, with a high success rate.

Because of their racial advantages, catching some prey cubs is not a big problem for the eagle tribe.

A group of eagles flew into the air and selected suitable prey cubs. It was not that they did not want to catch them quickly, but Bai Tu had too many requirements. He asked them to try their best to catch the lone prey cubs in the group, because such cubs were most likely to be abandoned by the group and their survival rate was basically zero.

The person was chosen appropriately, and within one day, Heiyan brought back three calves, a fawn and a litter of piglets to the tribe.

“Your tribe is too slow.” After showing off his harvest, Hei Yan did not forget to exclude the Rabbit Tribe, “If catching people wasn’t a waste of time, we could have caught a few more today.” Because of the Lion Tribe, they didn’t start catching until almost noon.

“Great, great.” Bai Tu echoed the praise. It didn’t cost any money to praise people, so of course he could praise them more.

As they were talking, a familiar voice interrupted: “Who’s better?”

Bai Tu was a little surprised: “Langze?”

“It’s me!” Langze was carrying a large backpack, followed by a dozen orcs. He looked at Heiyan with dissatisfaction and asked Bai Tu for credit, “Tu, we caught a lot of cubs!” They caught cubs all night last night!

Langze: Just in time for dinner!
