Chapter 223: Winged Tiger vs Lop-eared Rabbit vs Teng Snake 15
After dragging a large pile of spoils back to the tribe, Chu Que looked at the Fenghan grass Meng Jiao brought back and asked curiously,
"Emissary, what did you bring this back for? This is medicine that our tribesmen use when they are sick."
The wind-cold grass Chu Que mentioned was ginger. Meng Jiao remembered that she was the chief witch of the tribe, so she told her about the other uses of ginger. She also told her about the several medicinal herbs she had collected today that could be used to treat external injuries.
Chu Que almost knelt down again. Meng Jiao helped him up reluctantly, and the entire tribe began to follow her orders.
When Bai Xu came back dragging the tree and prey that Meng Jiao had asked him to, he could smell a delicious fragrance from the tribe from afar. A group of tigers instantly quickened their pace to return.
That night, Meng Jiao split the wild bull beast in front of everyone, separated the white fat part and gave it to the female to refine into oil, and then soaked the intestines and other things that they usually threw away because of the stench in the ginger and wild onions that they had prepared in advance.
Finally, I put the chestnuts picked today into the stewed meat, fried the pig intestines with refined oil, and made cold melon shreds with the melons I picked.
Just when everyone thought it was over, Meng Jiao poured the sugar bubbles they usually used to tease the little beast into the stone mill she asked Bai Xu to make.
The orcs thought it was a game of strength competition, and they all happily stepped forward to help, wanting to show off themselves in front of the females.
As they exerted their strength, the sugar bubbles were broken and sweet juice flowed out. Meng Jiao began to cook with the females.
The simplest source of human energy is sugar and salt. Currently, it is known that most of the salt on this continent is exchanged with some tribes that own salt lakes, so Meng Jiao first set her sights on making sugar.
The sweet smell filled the air. Meng Jiao kept an eye on the heat of each stone pot. In the end, the syrup boiled in several pots only made two stone pots.
However, this also surprised the orcs enough. They didn't expect that the inconspicuous sugar bubble could have so many uses in the hands of the messenger.
So in the following days, everyone started bringing different plants back to Mengjiao, hoping that some of them might be useful.
But tonight, the tiger tribe, who had eaten too much, howled all night long. The leopard tribe, who had not had time to investigate, could no longer sit still and vowed to go to the tiger tribe to find out tomorrow.
Meng Jiao ate a few slices of barbecue, then held a half-eaten melon rind to watch Bai Xu "getting beaten".
That’s right, Mu Bing said that Bai Xu has special abilities, and in order to activate them, he must first have enough physical endurance. In short, he has strength now, but his physical ability to withstand blows is relatively poor.
I just don't know if there was any personal grudge involved in the beating process.
And I don’t know if Bai Xu was seeking trouble on purpose. He was beaten while provoking others, which made Meng Jiaogua unable to eat anymore.
She grimaced as she watched him being beaten away again and again. His handsome face became bruised and his waist and abdomen were also covered with bruises. In the end, Meng Jiao simply transformed herself into rabbit ears to cover her eyes, which made her feel much better.
I was thinking about where I should look for minerals tomorrow. This continent has never been mined, and according to the data, this continent is over ten thousand years old and has experienced continental separation and merger. Since there is crustal movement, there must be mines!
Mu Bing actually admired this stupid tiger. Based on his strength, his ribs must have been broken, but he didn't even scream.
After receiving the report from his subordinates and calculating the time, Mu Bing suppressed his compassion and increased his strength once again.
When it was over, the sky was already slightly brighter. Bai Xu climbed up, picked up Meng Jiao calmly, and flew towards the cave.
But just after entering the cave, before Meng Jiao could stand firmly, Bai Xu fell headfirst onto the stone ground with a thump.
"Ah~ baby, Bai Xu, it hurts so much, it hurts so much."
Meng Jiao was almost dying of laughter at his words. She dragged him step by step towards the hot spring behind by his strong big tail. (You can’t pull a cat’s tail, but he is an orc so he can)
"Then you just pretended nothing happened."
Bai Xu fell into the pool, and with his tiger tail he dragged Meng Jiao into the pool as well. He curled up around her neck, rubbing his tiger ears against her.
"Just don't, Bai Xu hates him."
Meng Jiao released the wood spirit to help him repair his broken bones while handing him the spiritual spring water.
"Drink it, you will be more powerful than him in the future, baby, I believe in you."
It was a rare occasion that the two of them soaked in the hot spring together. When Meng Jiao was about to leave the pool, she suddenly stopped.
"Wait, Bai Xu, where does the hot spring in this cave come from?"
Bai Xu thought about it.
"I don't know. It existed when Bai Xu dug the cave."
"Quick, quick, come out and take me up to have a look."
Bai Xu could not help but speed up his movements when he saw her so excited. He only knew that there were rolling mountains behind him, and there were no trees. The ground was bare and dark.
He once led his tribesmen to visit some places, but they were so dark and messy that they never went there again.
While the two were exploring, Mu Bing happened to be leading his men to dig a hole next to their cave.
Haha, they agreed to live nearby, but neither of them mentioned it. He came by himself. If he can’t fly, can’t he crawl?
So Meng Jiao came back from surveying the mine and found that she had a new neighbor, who waved at her shamelessly.
Meng Jiao thought that his serious look now was much cuter than at the beginning, so she waved at him.
Bai Xu reached out and grabbed Meng Jiao's tender little hand and pressed it on his abdominal muscles. "You like living next door, right? Wait for him."
The hunting team rested today, Meng Jiao arranged for everyone to go out and cut trees together, and to bring back the cuckoo beasts and long-haired sheep to keep them in captivity.
So when the leopard tribe orcs came to investigate quietly, they were obviously shocked. Did the tiger tribe go crazy? Not only did they ask the precious females to work, but they also wanted to raise cuckoo beasts.
Ayun watched for a whole day and found that they were picking all kinds of plants that he didn't recognize. He didn't understand what the tiger tribe was doing, so he had to run back to tell the chief and the priest.
Different from Ayun's idea, the chief immediately realized under what circumstances the small animals would be kept in captivity. When there was enough food and they didn't need to eat at all,
Under what circumstances will females dare to go out fearlessly, and when the tribal warriors are strong enough to compete with the surrounding tribes!
The chief and the priest discussed with each other for a long time. Because the priest had met Chu Que several times before, he finally decided that she should visit the tiger tribe with a few guards.
In the open space east of the tiger tribe, Meng Jiao directed and Bai Xu took action. The other beastmen followed suit. They did nothing for the whole day except building a house.
After several houses with mortise and tenon structures were completed, Chu Que touched the unexpectedly solid houses and asked curiously,
"Emissary, why do we need to build this when we already have a cave?"
Others had the same question. Meng Jiao shook off the mud dots on the chimney with her hands and said calmly,
"Did any of our tribesmen suffocate to death in the cave when winter came?"
There was sorrow on Chuque's face.
"Reply to the messenger, it is true, but if we don't seal the cave tightly, we won't be able to survive the severe winter even if we have fire."
"We won't do that anymore. With a house like this, we can not only keep warm in the cold winter, but even if we light a fire in the room, there won't be any deaths from lack of air circulation."
For a moment, the tribe was in an uproar, and everyone was curious whether what she said was true. Who could have thought that one day they could live in peace with the fire?
But most people are actually somewhat convinced, because what Meng Jiao said has not been wrong so far.
"Okay, follow my method just now, everyone move.
We strive to ensure that everyone has their own house within three days, including all the weaker animals. We, the tiger tribe, are united as one."
"United as one! United as one!"
A group of orcs who were fed chicken soup by Meng Jiao shouted and ran to cut trees, build houses, and even the females were playing with mud and building chimneys.
It is said that the female tigers are really active, but this may also have something to do with the fact that Meng Jiao used delicious food and some nice hairstyles as rewards for them. After all, there is no girl who doesn't like to become beautiful, and orcs are no exception.
