Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 87

Chapter 87

Starting with a multi-grain pancake, the two seemed to be competing with each other, and the plate in front of Bai Tu was never empty. Either there would be an extra piece of grilled meat or a few more meatballs. Before Bai Tu even stretched out his chopsticks, the two of them had already picked up the dishes for him.

Today’s food was rich and tasted good. Langze ate several plates of meat in one breath, and also ate the multi-grain cake given by Langqi. When he let out a long sigh and was about to eat slowly, he saw Langqi and Heixiao putting vegetables on Baitu’s plate as if they were competing.

Langze looked at the food in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly handed over a piece of braised meat.

Lang Qi and Hei Xiao paused at the same time, and Lang Qi turned his gaze towards Lang Ze.

Langze almost jumped up. Why was he so mean to him? He obviously didn’t do anything!

Heiyan looked at the three people in confusion, looked left and right, thought seriously, and gave a bowl of porridge to Bai Tu. He had almost finished all the other food, but he couldn’t get used to the porridge, so he left it for last.

Bai Tu: “…”

Even an iron stomach could not stand such a way of eating, so he put the porridge back in front of Hei Yan. He also returned all the dishes picked up by the other three people, one by one, especially those picked up by Lang Qi and Hei Xiao, which almost filled up the plates. Bai Tu returned all the dishes to their original owners. It’s not that he has a good memory, but the two of them seemed to have a grudge against each other. The two plates were piled up like mountains of food and there was almost no room for them, but there was no contact at all, and the boundary was clear.

Finally, he picked up an apple and went to eat it. Bai Tu urged: “Eat quickly.” The weather has not been as hot as it was some time ago. It is okay during the day, but if you are not careful at night, you may catch a cold. The food cools down much faster than before. Although it is still edible for orcs, the taste of oily food will be much worse after it gets cold.

Just now, the two of them were so busy picking up food for him that they hadn’t even finished half of the food in front of them.

Lang Qi looked at Hei Xiao warily, quickly finished his food, and grabbed Bai Tu impatiently: “Let’s go and rest.” He was afraid that Hei Xiao would snatch him away if he was a step slower.

Hei Xiao: “???” He is still here! Sure enough, it’s right to dislike the wolf tribe.

White map and black lines. What time is it now? Moreover, there are guests. Even if Hei Xiao is not his brother, it would not be right to rest when the guests are still there.

Pushing Lang Qi away and asking him to go see the cubs, Bai Tu began to think about how to explain to Hei Xiao.

Things like time travel must not be talked about, but if we don’t mention it, how can Hei Xiao realize that he and the original owner are not the same person?

Just as Bai Tu was thinking, Lang Qi had an unpredictable expression, Hei Xiao was on guard against Lang Qi taking Bai Tu away in front of him, Lang Ze put down his bowl and chopsticks and burped, and Hei Yan was thinking about what had just happened, when Lang Zuo suddenly rushed in.

“Tu, no, Foxbu has run away!” Wolf Zuo said this before he saw so many people in the cave. He was so scared that he burped. The wolf tribe has an unwritten rule that all embarrassing things should be said when only one is around. The little wolves don’t have a clear understanding of the word embarrassing, so most of the time they are silenced by the wolves with their eyes.

He was too anxious today and told the whole thing directly. Lang Zuo carefully avoided Lang Qi and moved to Bai Tu’s side. Experience tells them that when Bai Tu is around, Lang Qi usually doesn’t hit people. Even if he does, his attacks will be mild. As long as they howl desperately, Bai Tu will quickly help and plead for mercy.

Lang Zuo was ready to be beaten, but he didn’t expect Lang Qi to not even look at him, but walk to Bai Tu.

Bai Tu was not panicked. He asked Lang Zuo first: “When did he disappear?”

Lang Zuo was a little scared: “I went to get water for him just now, and when I came back, I found that there was no one in the cave, and Shun was not there either.” Lang Shun was originally guarding outside the cave, but now both of them are missing.

Bai Tu calculated the time. It was less than three hours since they returned from there. In three hours, an injured orc could not run far, but it was a bit bad that a wolf was missing as well.

“Let’s check out the cave first.” Bai Tu said. Because Foxbu was injured, he also wanted to know if he could reveal some information when he was crazy. When he came out, he specifically mentioned that there was no need to seal his mouth. And because of some operations done by Foxbu, the number of guards became two. Theoretically, there should be no problem, but they still underestimated Foxbu.

Several people walked into the cave where Foxbu was imprisoned again. In addition to the previous traces of movement, there was also a trace of dragging, but this trace only extended to the entrance of the cave.

Although it was a mountain road outside, there were many footprints coming and going, and it was impossible to tell which ones were left by the wolf. However, neither Lang Qi nor Lang Ze could smell the direction in which Lang Shun’s breath disappeared, not to mention Lang Zuo and others, so they had no way to lock on the direction of escape.

There were wolves guarding outside the cave where the lions were imprisoned, and none of them saw Foxbu appear. Only the rabbit tribe guarding the exit of the tribe at the foot of the mountain had seen the wolf tribe go out.

“He walked very fast, I couldn’t see who he was.” Orcs can easily identify orcs of the same species as themselves, but it is not so easy to identify orcs in other animal forms. The wolf tribe is fast and it was the one who ran away in animal form. In addition, the black wolves are the most numerous in color, so the rabbit tribe guarding over there really couldn’t recognize who it was.

“Which direction did he run?” Bai Tu asked.

“After going out from here, they went straight into the woods without walking.” The most obvious feature of the Langze team is their fast speed. They are gone in the blink of an eye and disappear in the woods in an instant. This was not the first time the little wolves had done this, and everyone was used to it. He didn’t feel anything was wrong until Bai Tu came over and asked.

Bai Tu also knew the character of the wolves. They were quick to react. One second they were sleeping in a cave, and the next they might want to swim in the river. Liveliness was the nature of underage orcs. The wolves were just a little more energetic, and he had no intention of restricting them. He couldn’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Without blaming the other party, Bai Tu asked about the time and the other party’s body shape.

When Bai Tu was asking questions, Langze had already transformed into a beast and was calling out to the idle wolves.

The wolf tribe’s internal communication method is faster than shouting at each person one by one. As soon as Langze finished shouting, there were responses from other wolves, and then little wolves gradually came over. The wolf tribe hunts at night, and almost all members of the hunting team are here now.

After counting the number of people, we were able to confirm that the one who ran away was Langshun.

However, only Langshun was seen. Either Foxbu didn’t follow, or Foxbu changed into a beast form and hid on Langshun. In this case, the only way was the slowest.

Bai Tu thought for a moment and arranged: “Call out all the people who are off duty and divide them into five teams. Four teams will search in different directions, and one team will search inside the tribe.” It is impossible to see from this side of the cave, so they can only try to look for it.

After the other orcs came down, Bai Tu explained the situation and reminded them not to go alone, but to ensure that at least two people were together at the same time.

The Wolves are all here, so we can just make the arrangements directly. The Rabbit and Cat tribes were a little slow to gather, but it did not delay the arrangements. The people of the Black Hawk tribe were also called out by Hei Xiao. Bai Tu divided his men into five teams, each team had members from the wolf, rabbit, eagle and cat tribes. The wolf tribe was fast, the rabbit tribe was familiar with every corner of their territory, and the cat tribe could lock onto the enemy’s hiding place without disturbing the enemy. Each team had its own strengths.

After several teams set off, Bai Tu said, “Let’s go to the southeast.” The straight-line distance from here to the Red Eagle Tribe is to go southeast. It is not impossible to take a detour, but each tribe has people patrolling, so the possibility of taking a detour is very small. The longer you stay in the territory of the Snow Rabbit Tribe, the greater the chance of being discovered.

Before anyone could react, Lang Qi carried Bai Tu on his back. The moment he transformed into a beast, he accelerated suddenly and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.

Hei Xiao watched Bai Tu getting farther and farther away from him, his teeth almost broken. He patted Hei Yan’s shoulder and said in a deep voice: “Go chase him!” He didn’t believe that Foxbu could still get away.

Heiyan quickly spread his wings, flew into the air, and chased in the direction where Langqi had just disappeared. However, when he flew up, he found that he could not tell which way Langqi took from mid-air.

Hei Xiao grabbed Hei Yan’s shoulders and said, “Keep flying.” Bai Tu wanted to find Fox Bu, and Lang Qi’s final direction must be the edge of the territory.

On the other side, Bai Tu grabbed the hair on Lang Qi’s neck. Although it was not the first time that Lang Qi was leading him to run, the speed was not as fast as this time.

“Slow down.” Bai Tu reminded. At this speed, it was impossible to see the surroundings clearly. If Foxbu hid, he would probably be ignored.

Lang Qi ran for a while before slowing down, walking slowly with the white map on his back.

What Bai Tu was worried about was not that Foxbu would go to the Red Eagle tribe, because the distance between the two tribes was too far, and it was almost impossible for a wolf with a wounded fox to arrive safely. What he was more worried about was that Foxbu was hiding in some corner and taking the opportunity to cause trouble. After all, Fox Step may not have any other skills, but he is quite capable of causing trouble.

Another layer of worry is Langshun. Foxbu has nothing on him, and they have searched all the possible hiding places in the cave. But Foxbu knows medicine, and he basically knows some of the herbs around him, especially poisons.

The purpose of such a high-profile search now is more to alert everyone and to scare off Foxbuster who is hiding in the dark.

Bai Tu found that Lang Qi was walking at a speed he could catch up with, so he said, “I’d better go down.”

Lang Qi seemed not to hear him and continued to stroll slowly.

“Qi?” Bai Tu was surprised.

Lang Qi stopped, raised his head and rubbed his hand, indicating that he heard it, but did not intend to let the man go.

“It’s up to you.” Bai Tu was helpless. It was impossible to reason with Lang Qi now. At his current height, the probability of him jumping safely to the ground when Lang Qi stopped was not high. Bai Tu made another note in the little notebook in his heart.

Lang Qi set out again. At first glance, it seemed that he was just out for a stroll, but in fact, he was constantly judging the smell around him. For the wolf clan, the nose is a very important organ. Lang Qi distinguished the various smells in the air and changed direction from time to time.

Bai Tu was thinking about the route Foxbu might take. Foxbu was not familiar with the territory of the Snow Rabbit Tribe, otherwise the Lion Tribe sent later would not have gotten lost. The one who knew the way was Wolf Shun. The little wolves often did not take the usual roads, so the chance of catching them on the main road was relatively small. What places around there were the ones that the wolves often went to?

Bai Tu regretted coming out too quickly and not bringing a little wolf with him.

Two familiar calls were heard not far away. It was Langze trying to find Langshun by shouting, but there was no response after several calls.

Even though he knew that the chances of finding anyone by shouting like that were slim, Bai Tu couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed when he didn’t hear a response. He couldn’t help but regret not sending more people. The little wolves were all relatively young, and Langshun was a few months younger than Langze, a baby-faced boy. No matter what food he prepared, he was always very supportive. Not only would he be able to arrive at the first opportunity, but he would also always eat up every bit of food he was given, no matter how much, without even leaving any soup.

Bai Tu didn’t believe that such a naive boy would be Fox Bu’s accomplice. It didn’t matter whether he could find Fox Bu tonight or not. With his speed, it would take him several days to cross the territories of the Snow Rabbit, Blood Wolf and Leopard tribes. He could be found even if he was a day late.

He wanted to confirm Langshun’s safety more. Foxbu’s ruthlessness was well known. Many of Shihong’s cubs were killed by him. Even though Shihong had filled the teeth marks, Foxbu deliberately told the cubs’ mothers the truth about their children’s death in order to stimulate them. His methods were so cruel that it was unbelievable.

Foxbu was not only cruel to his cubs, but also ruthless to his former bedmate. The wolf clan had hunted countless prey, and everyone could tell from the wounds on Shihong’s body that he had suffered a second injury. Not to mention whether Shihong had the strength to commit suicide at that time, the fact that he could hold on for so many days in a dying state meant that it was impossible for him to do it himself, not to mention that there was no new blood on Shihong’s hands. Foxbu thought that he had disguised himself so well that no one had discovered the truth. In fact, the life and death of Shihong was just a happy thing for the wolf clan, and no one wanted to bother with him.

Foxbu treats his partner with no mercy, let alone other people. Bai Tu just hopes that Langshun is safe now. As long as Langshun is safe, nothing else matters.

Bai Tu was just thinking when Lang Qi suddenly stopped and moved his ears slightly, as if he was receiving a sound from afar.

Bai Tu didn’t say anything. Because of the structure of his ears, orcs often have better hearing in beast form. Just because he didn’t hear anything doesn’t mean Lang Qi didn’t hear anything.

After a moment, Lang Qi rubbed Bai Tu’s hand, reminding him to hold on tight, then ran in one direction, his steps lighter than before.

This is a new discovery, Bai Tu perked up.

After the wolf ran for a while, Bai Tu heard a slightly familiar voice.

“You’re going in the wrong direction. Turn back and go to the back.”

“Woo~”

It was the voices of Foxbub and Little Wolf! Bai Tu couldn’t help but clench his fists. Even though he could tell the difference between the little wolves’ voices, Bai Tu could be sure that it was just Langshun, after all, he was the only one with Foxstep now.

Lang Qi raised his head and rubbed him, with a soothing look in his eyes.

Bai Tu realized that he was pulling Lang Qi’s hair, so he quickly let go of his hand, gently smoothed it out for him, and listened intently to the direction of the sound.

This time, Lang Qi’s speed was much slower than before, and there was no sound at every step he took.

Bai Tu knew that this was because they were worried about scaring Lang Shun. After all, Lang Shun could make sounds but did not respond to Langze’s call or call out to them, so it was very likely that he was not fully awake.

“Why are you turning again? I told you to go forward!”

“Run, they will catch up with us soon.”

“Awoo~”

“Keep your voice down, do you want to be killed by them? You can’t be killed by them, run.”

Because the distance was close, the voice gradually became clearer. Foxbu’s tone was a little different from before. Bai Tu always felt it was very familiar, as if he had heard it before.

While Bai Tu was distracted, Lang Qi had already gradually approached the two of them and reminded Bai Tu to hold on to himself.

At the same time, Hei Yan, who had been spinning in the air for half a day, locked his position and began to dive downward.

Langshun turned around and walked back again. Foxbu looked up after cursing, and saw Bai Tu sitting on the back of the black wolf. There was panic in his eyes. He patted Langshun on the back and urged him: “Turn right, take a detour, quickly, they are going to kill us–”

Langshun’s eyes were dull, and he seemed not to understand why he was in this place. When he heard Foxbu’s words, he began to turn around as Foxbu requested.

Foxbu breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the black wolf had not caught up with him. However, before he could catch his breath, he saw the black eagle falling from mid-air in front of him.

There was an eagle in front and a wolf behind. Foxbu suddenly grabbed Langshun’s neck and said, “Bite him to death, bite Baitu to death.”

Langshun’s eyes cleared up for a moment, a trace of struggle flashed across his face, and then he returned to his previous dullness and suddenly attacked in the direction of Langqi.

Lang Qi growled.

Wolfshun paused, then the feeling on his neck became clearer and clearer, with the only thing left in his mind was Foxbub’s words.

Bite him to death, bite him to death.

Lang Qi didn’t give him a chance. He dodged the moment he rushed towards him and growled again.

The sound of wolves could be heard in the distance.

Every time Lang Shun heard Lang Qi’s voice, his movements would pause, but the pause time was getting shorter and shorter.

Bai Tu knew that the problem was with Foxbu, and said to Heiyan who was trying to find an opportunity to attack Langshun: “Catch Foxbu!”

Hearing this, Heiyan changed his flying direction and grabbed Foxbu from Langshun.

Lang Qi took the opportunity to pounce on Wolf Shun and knock him to the ground.

Lang Shun began to struggle, but was no match for Lang Qi and was pinned to the ground.

Heixiao got off Heiyan’s back, and Baitu got off Langqi’s back with Heixiao’s help. Today he realized the disadvantage of the wolf clan’s too high beast form.

Heiyan was tall and strong, and catching Foxbu was as easy as catching a chicken. He didn’t want Foxbu to touch him, so Heiyan found a branch and tied Foxbu to it and hung him up.

Foxbu couldn’t struggle free, and began to frantically order Langshun: “Bite him to death, beat him!”

Langshun, who had calmed down, began to fight back, but his strength was still a little bit inferior to Langqi.

Heiyan covered Foxstep’s mouth and went over to help. Bai Tu observed Foxbu, and it was obvious that Langshun’s abnormality was related to him.

“Bewitched?” Hei Xiao frowned.

“What?” Bai Tu turned around and looked at Hei Xiao.

“Some witch doctors have a secret medicine in their hands. After feeding it to the orcs, they can bewitch them and make them ignore their relatives and only listen to themselves. It is said that there was a witch doctor who bewitched the tribal leader for decades, but we haven’t heard about it for many years. I don’t know where he learned it from.” Hei Xiao explained.

Everything Bai Tu was thinking sounded like an advanced version of hypnosis. Another thing was that he always felt that the tone of voice used by Foxstep and Wolfshun when speaking seemed familiar.

Bai Tu was in a safe place, and with Hei Yan’s help, even though Lang Shun became more ferocious than usual when he went crazy, Lang Qi was able to capture him quickly.

The wolves that were nearby quickly arrived and took back the tied-up Wolfshun and Foxbu.

Bai Tu asked Bai Hui to get two iron chains to tie up the wolf so that it would not affect eating, but the wolf could not get out without untying the chains. Foxbu was not treated so well. He was tied up and not even given water. Four orcs were guarding the door.

Everyone was thinking about how to make Langshun recover, but there was one thing they didn’t understand. Since Langshun had been bewitched by Foxbu, why did he lead Foxbu back in the middle?

Lang Qi frowned at Lang Shun, and Lang Ze circled around the struggling Lang Shun, jumping up and down anxiously. Unfortunately, he couldn’t speak in beast form, and now Lang Shun couldn’t even understand what they said. It seemed that he could only understand Foxbu’s orders.

Bai Tu was also puzzled, but Lang Shun was not Fox Bu’s accomplice after all, and even if he was a little unconscious now, he couldn’t let him starve. He planned to ask Lang Zuo to get some food. They all had time to eat early, and now was the time when there was the most food in the cafeteria. When the words were about to come out, Bai Tu suddenly paused, and found the answer to the question that had been puzzling him.

Bai Tu: “I understand.”

The other people looked at him. Langze quickly ran to Bai Tu and grabbed Bai Tu’s hand under tremendous pressure. He must hear the reason today! Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to sleep tonight, and I won’t have the energy to hunt!

Bai Tu sighed slightly: “Shun is back for dinner.” When it gets dark, it’s time for dinner, and none of the wolf boys will be absent, even if they are unconscious or have forgotten everything.

When he heard the word “eat”, the wolf, who was still struggling, suddenly calmed down.
