Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 74

Chapter 74

As soon as Bai Tu finished speaking, Lang Qi’s eyes became much softer than before, but he still didn’t let him go out. He only let him walk to the entrance of the cave at most, and became annoyed if he went out any further. Bai Tu simply put a stool at the entrance of the cave, and while helping Lang Qi comb his hair, he asked Lang Ze what was going on.

Langze witnessed the entire process of Langqi’s transformation from beginning to end. When he heard Bai Tu’s question, he did not dare to miss any details and told him everything, including how the lion tribe stabbed him, the changes in Langqi after the stabbing, and how many people were injured.

“A total of thirteen lions and six wolves were injured.” These were the ones who were hit and injured. Lang Qi was running around recklessly last night, and anyone who blocked his way was knocked over. The wolves behind him noticed something was wrong and dodged immediately, but the lions were not so quick-witted, and a few of them who didn’t recognize Lang Qi’s own strength wanted to surround him.

“Where are the knife and the man?” Bai Tu asked. The problem was most likely with the knife.

Langze: “The man is imprisoned at the foot of the mountain, and the knife is with Yang.”

Bai Tu: “Bring the knife over and send the man to the cave entrance.” He wanted to ask what was going on.

Langze immediately agreed and ordered Langzuo and Langyou to rush down the mountain to capture the man. Langyang was guarding not far away and came over to deliver the knife when he heard the noise.

Lang Qi looked up at the people who were making a lot of noise outside, then turned his gaze back to Bai Tu.

“Tu, can you–” Langze was asking Bai Tu if there was any way to treat it. When he saw the thing on Langqi’s face, he paused, “Tu, what is that?”

“A bite stopper. This way we don’t have to worry about him attacking people. Hui is doing the rest. You can give them to the working lions later.” Bai Tu said. He originally wanted to teach Tucai how to pad with animal skins, but now he doesn’t have to teach him. The lions brought this upon themselves. They should feel a little uncomfortable. After hearing that Langqi’s current condition was man-made, Bai Tu no longer had any good feelings towards the lions.

Lang Yang was close and quickly brought the knife in. The moment he saw the knife, Lang Qi instantly jumped up and stared at him threateningly.

“Chief…” Lang Yang grew up with Lang Qi. He had been with Lang Qi for a long time and was trusted by Lang Qi. Seeing the chief like this, he felt no less upset than Lang Ze.

Bai Tu grabbed Lang Qi, stroked his back and soothed him softly: “It’s okay, he’s not going to attack us, he’s just bringing me tools.”

Not sure which one worked, but Lang Qi’s expression slowly softened. He stopped staring at the wolves outside and turned his attention back to Bai Tu who had the knife. He looked at the knife warily with worry in his eyes.

Bai Tu noticed the other person’s gaze and explained, “I won’t hurt myself.” He now basically understood Lang Qi’s behavior. As long as the two of them were safe, Lang Qi would generally not be furious. He would only get angry when he felt threatened. However, even if he was angry, as long as he explained quickly and the other party did not go any further, he could calm him down.

After hearing this, Lang Qi still did not let down his guard and was very wary of the knife. Bai Tu rubbed his back and checked the knife first. The blade was sharp and somewhat similar to the one Hei Xiao gave him. Bai Tu took out his own knife and compared them together. The size and style were very similar, only the logo on the back of the handle was different.

Hei Xiao said that this mark is used to distinguish the makers, and the marks on the back of knives made by different orcs are different. After checking the appearance, Bai Tu carefully observed the blade.

If the knife caused Lang Qi’s current state, the problem was either with the blade or there was something on the knife. Now we can basically rule out the former. More than one person has similar knives. If being stabbed by a knife would turn him into a fallen beast, then the Iron Elephant Tribe and the tribes that had traded with them would probably be full of fallen beasts. It is impossible that there were only a few in all these years.

However, the knife had been used overnight and had been stepped on, so apart from a little blood, no other traces of material could be seen.

Bai Tu took out a ceramic bowl, filled it with water, and soaked the knife in the bowl. After a while, he poured out half of the water and took out a homemade knife from their tribe and soaked it in the water.

After doing all this, Bai Tu calmed Lang Qi down once again, and looked unkindly at the lion tribe that was dragged up by Wolf Zuo.

The captured lion had a bruised face and nose, with one arm hanging limply, looking even worse than when Tu Cheng first came back. When Lang Qi saw him, he wanted to attack him but was held down by Bai Tu. However, this time his eyes were still filled with murderous intent, and he could deliver a fatal blow at any time.

In front of him was Lang Qi, who almost killed the leader of the Crazy Lion Tribe last night. Behind him were members of the Wolf Tribe with malicious eyes. Both sides were full of danger. The Lion Tribe lay on the ground, holding up his limp arm with his other hand, his heart as dead as death.

He thought he could escape after stabbing Lang Qi, after all, he only caused Lang Qi minor injuries. Shi Hong was the most important enemy. I didn’t expect Lang Qi to react so quickly. Although he was stabbed, he almost lost half his life when he was pressed by Shi Hong.

“Tu, his name is Shi Ming, the son of Shi Hong’s mother’s younger brother.” Lang You told the information he had obtained from the wolf tribe at the foot of the mountain, but the content was limited. They had just captured all the people in the morning, and they were worried that Lang Qi would go crazy. After experiencing so many things in the morning, many wolves didn’t even have time to eat.

Bai Tu nodded and waved the knife in front of Shi Ming: “Where did you get this knife?”

“Fox Bu gave it to me. He said that I only need to stab Lang Qi with the knife, and I don’t have to worry about the rest.” Shi Ming regretted very much that he listened to Fox Bu’s words yesterday. If he had known that Lang Qi would go crazy after one stab, he would never have thought of doing it. Seeing that Lang Qi’s eyes were becoming more and more dangerous, Shi Ming wanted to escape immediately. A normal orc would not act rashly, but now Lang Qi could kill him at any time.

Almost all the orcs of the Mad Lion Tribe were captured, including Shi Hong who seemed like he would die at any time and Fox Bu who had never shown up.

If we were to say who Shi Ming is afraid of now, besides Lang Qi, it would be Lang Ze. One of the brothers almost killed the strongest leader of the lion clan, and the other became more determined to fight after seeing his brother go crazy. His broken arm was bitten off by Lang Ze.

Shi Ming had never been so panicked before. As one of the few relatives of Shi Hong in the Crazy Lion Tribe, although he was not as capable as Shi Hong, he also had some power. Later, after he contacted Foxbu behind Shihong’s back, he didn’t even take Shihong seriously. He respected Shihong in front of others, but treated him as a brainless fool behind their backs. If Shihong hadn’t been needed to fight other tribes, he wouldn’t have hesitated yesterday.

But he didn’t expect that even though he gave up on Shi Hong and chose to kill Lang Qi, Lang Qi still survived, but turned into a fallen beast.

Bai Tu asked a few more questions and made sure that Lang Zuo didn’t know the secret of the knife, so he let Lang Zuo throw the man back and reminded him: “Lock him up alone and don’t let him communicate with others.”

Lang Zuo responded. Logically, the wolf clan would only listen to the words of the wolf king and his own leader. However, recently living in the tribe, Lang Qi and Lang Ze followed Bai Tu’s opinions on everything, and everyone had long been accustomed to obeying Bai Tu directly.

None of the wolves felt anything wrong, except Shi Ming, who was filled with shock and fear.

Just now he was only worried about his own safety, and not about the future. Even if Lang Qi didn’t die, he would still have no ability to rule after becoming a fallen beast. There were still three or four hundred orcs of all sizes in the Mad Lion Tribe. So many people could not defeat the wolf tribe in its strongest period, but it was easy to resist the wolf tribe without a wolf king.

According to Foxbu, after the wolf king dies or loses the ability to rule, the wolf clan will soon become a pile of loose sand. It will take at least half a month for the new wolf king to fully gain the trust of all the wolves. They just need to seize this opportunity.

This is the reason why many lions did not resist after being captured. The number of wolves is only slightly more than that of the Mad Lion Tribe, and most of the wolves are not as big as the lions. Last night was too sudden, but if the lions are gathered together, it will not be a problem for them to find an opportunity to overthrow the Blood Wolf Tribe in the future. At that time, they can also directly occupy the resource-rich Snow Rabbit Tribe to avenge their previous shame. In winter, they can live an extremely comfortable life. What’s more, they have another arrangement besides these.

The plan was foolproof. Even though they had lost news of Tu Cheng, the number of wolves was more than they expected, and Lang Qi was not even dead, these were not big problems. As long as they could save their lives and wait for them to determine the time to counterattack, the territories of the wolf and rabbit tribes would be theirs. They would no longer have to go through the frustration of cutting grass for two months only to find out that it was completely inedible, nor would they have to worry about not having enough food in the tribe.

When being picked up again by Lang Zuo, Shi Ming seemed to have seen victory waving at him, until he heard Lang Zuo obeying Bai Tu’s orders without any objection.

How is this possible? How could this happen? Why does the wolf tribe have a hidden leader? How can Bai Tu directly give orders to the wolf tribe without even Lang Ze’s nod? Lang Zuo agreed so easily! Just agree to it!

Being imprisoned alone by Lang Zuo, Shi Ming’s inner despair reached its peak. The lions were certainly not afraid of the wolves when fighting alone, but the wolves were famous for becoming braver as the battle went on, and the more people there were, the stronger they were. Two wolves might not be able to beat a male lion, but ten wolves could easily beat six or even seven lions, especially when there was a leader, the wolves would fight with no regard for their lives.

There is still a chance. Shi Ming suddenly thought of Lang Qi. As long as Lang Qi kills the wolf and rabbit tribes crazily, they can still occupy the two tribes without even having to do anything. Shi Ming suddenly regained his confidence. Although there was a slight gap from the plan, there was still a chance to make up for it. The only problem was how to tell Fox Bu the news… Shi Ming began to think of a solution.

Shi Ming didn’t know that something was happening on the mountain that made him even more desperate.

While waiting for Wolf Right to come up with a fox step, Bai Tu was observing the water used to soak the knife. Suddenly, Wolf Qi raised his front paws and grabbed him, preventing him from touching those things.

“What’s wrong?” Bai Tu asked. He felt that Lang Qi was much better now than in the morning. Although he still couldn’t tell his own people apart, he could understand some of what was said.

The few wolves at the cave entrance looked at Lang Qi expectantly, hoping that Lang Qi could give some clues or reminders.

Lang Qi looked at the corner of Bai Tu’s mouth and leaned over to rub it.

Langze: “???”

Other wolves: “???”

Langze incredulously: “Brother?”

Langqi, who was disturbed, stared at him unkindly, but with less murderous intent. Even though he didn’t quite understand what was happening just now, he could see that Bai Tu cared about these people.

The one he cares about cannot be killed… Lang Qi is not very happy because the one who can be killed has been taken away.

Although he didn’t understand, he vaguely realized that he had done something wrong, so Langze immediately shut up.

Lang Qi was very satisfied with his tactfulness. He retracted his gaze and pushed all the bowls in front of Bai Tu aside. He didn’t feel comfortable until Bai Tu only had eyes for him. He continued to rub the corners of his mouth through a layer of bite stopper, and finally stared at his lips, his eyes gradually darkening.

Even if Bai Tu was slow-witted, he could still feel that something was wrong, not to mention that he was not Langze who knew nothing. He could regard the previous times as the dog’s love for its owner, but with this look now, he couldn’t deceive himself even if he wanted to.

He reached out and gently rubbed Lang Qi’s ears a few times to divert his attention away: “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?” In short, just don’t stare at him, especially when there are so many people around.

Lang Qi ignored his words and stared at the person’s opening and closing lips. He felt a familiar sense of impatience again and wanted to carry the person back to the cave and hide him so that no one could see him.

Lang Qi looked at the white map, considering where to start.

There was no murderous intent in Lang Qi’s eyes, but Bai Tu inexplicably felt that it was more dangerous now than before. He caught a glimpse of the bowl and the knife and suddenly shouted: “Cover the bowl! Put the knife in a box, wrap it in several layers, and no one should touch it directly!!!”

Lang Ze had cooked a lot of food with Bai Tu. Some foods cannot be touched directly during the preparation process, so he was very skilled in handling these. Upon hearing this, he immediately picked up another bowl to cover it with water, found Bai Tu’s empty wooden box for medicine, wrapped his hands with leaves, and put the knife in.

“Where is Yang? Where is Yang? Find two people to accompany him and have a good rest for a day!” Bai Tu gave several instructions quickly, holding Lang Qi with both hands and not daring to let go, for fear that he would go out.

Lang Qi had no intention of going out at all. His eyes were always on Bai Tu. He could hardly suppress his inner joy. He just wanted to take the person back quickly and hide him somewhere where no one could see him.

He was becoming more and more anxious, but couldn’t find the right position despite repeated attempts. There was something blocking his mouth and his claws were not strong enough. Lang Qi’s eyes gradually became irritable, but the other party was constantly comforting him. His ears, head, and back were all covered with comfortable touches, and he enjoyed unprecedented excitement with his whole body and mind.

Lang Qi tried his best to suppress the urge to kill. There was only one thought left in his mind, to take it back and hide it so that no one else could see it but himself.

However, things did not develop as he had hoped. Lang Qi became more and more uncomfortable and gradually found it difficult to suppress his temper. He wanted to get rid of everyone else so that he could have the throne too.

Bai Tu sensed his mood change and immediately said, “Keep moving the stones to block the cave, and just pass food in!” Many caves have large stones at the entrance to defend against enemies. If a war breaks out between tribes, if there is enough time, the orcs remaining in the tribe will block the cave entrance with stones and then hide to confuse the enemy. Now it is to prevent wolves from coming. In case he cannot be seduce it in the end, with the stone blocking it, Lang Qi at least won’t go out. It’s the same principle as the bite stopper, which reduces the danger to a minimum.

Langze opened his mouth several times but was stopped by Bai Tu who raised his hand: “Foxbu, you interrogate him yourselves. Remember to search his belongings again. If there are any medicines, separate them immediately. Foxbu should be kept in solitary confinement.” After saying that, he urged Langze to move the stones again, as the later it was, the more dangerous it would be.

The cave gradually closed, and Lang Qi’s inner irritability gradually calmed down, but it was not enough. He wanted to do something, but his claws and mouth could not do it.

Only Lang Qi was left staring at Bai Tu anxiously, his eyes gradually turning red.

Bai Tu’s hands were almost sore from touching. He looked at the stones moving at the entrance of the cave with his peripheral vision and gradually felt at ease.

The moment Lang Qi’s eyes turned deep red, the majestic giant wolf instantly turned into a human form.

The moment the cave closed, the orc who brought Foxbu up just arrived. Through the gap, he saw Langqi who had regained his human form. Foxbu’s face instantly became ferocious and he couldn’t believe it: “How is it possible, how is it possible! How can he be in human form?!” He had done so much, how could Langqi regain his human form!

No one answered him. Although they could only see Lang Qi’s upper body because the cave was closed and it was still blurry, it was completely different from the beast and there was no way to make a mistake. The wolves were just happy.

The bite stopper that was in the way and could not be removed fell off, and Lang Qi was finally able to follow his heart and rub against the place he had always longed for, wishing he could swallow the person in one gulp.

Before Bai Tu had time to be happy, his vision suddenly went dark, and the next second he felt a pain in his mouth. He instantly wanted to curse, and there was only one thought in his mind: who is going to bite me directly in the mouth!

Lang Qi’s heart was filled with joy. It was his, and only his.
