In the beast world, I got rich and became the favorite of the group

Chapter 168 City Lord Stone Fort + Wandering Beast Team (4000 words)
In An Jin's impression, Mi Yin and Ling Hong, a snake and a wolf, treat their nests very casually, and the only requirement is to make do with being able to sleep.

She thought that most male orcs were rough and casual, but now she saw Song Yi who cleaned up the lair and herself...

She is guilty of overgeneralization.

"The time for the third wave of rain hasn't come yet, and the rain outside shouldn't last too long. You stay with me for a while, and I'll take you back when the rain stops." Song Yi came to her and stayed quietly Standing like a rock that is not afraid of wind and rain.

In their lair, the hawks and beasts like to maintain their beast-like appearance, so An Jin felt that there was a little sun beside her.

The warm mass of golden feathers made her feel very warm and at ease, both in terms of temperature and color.

The rain outside wasn't too heavy, but the temperature suddenly dropped a lot. The bird's nest opened wide, and the cold wind blew inside.

Whenever it rains or snows, Song Yi can't help but feel sleepy. The heat radiated from his body and the feathers attached to him protect him from the severe cold, so he doesn't feel cold.

As usual, his milky-gold eyelids had just drooped halfway when he felt the shivering of the person next to him. He quickly woke up and spread one of his wings to wrap the female under his wings.

The wings of the eagle beasts have small and soft down growing on the inside. They were originally used to protect the newly born baby birds from the cold. Unexpectedly, they were given to her for the first time.

It's really warm.

An Jin let out a breath of cold air, narrowed her dark eyes, and stayed under the golden eagle's wings to absorb the warmth wantonly, so warm that she didn't want to move.

She had been able to withstand this level of cold before.

But since she was injured, whenever she encountered wet and cold weather, the wound on her body would ache and itch, and she almost had to stay by the stove every day.

Song Yi is not her partner after all, and An Jin instinctively rejects such an intimate act between the two of them, but she is so cold that she doesn't care about it.

"You put so many flowers and fragrant fruits into the nest. Although it is very beautiful, it should be troublesome to clean up after it rots?" The sound of wind and rain outside was playing in unison, but the nest was too quiet, An Jin endured it. I couldn't help finding a little topic.

"Fortunately, I basically change it every day. Beautiful flowers can decorate the cave, and I usually like to eat fruits."

Song Yi subconsciously lowered his head to look at her, and could only see the top of the female's smooth, dark hair. He leaned down slightly and touched her face lightly with his barbed beak.

Some cold.

Couldn't help wrapping her tighter.

"After our Eagle Clan becomes an adult, the male orcs will follow the female they like to a new gathering place, and carefully build a love nest for her. These flowers and fruits can attract the female's attention."

Song Yi was not such a stylish eagle before, and this was a new skill he had only recently developed.

"..." An Jin's heart skipped a beat, did she think too much?I always feel that Song Yi is implying something.

She hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but said, "Then you come to this city with me, do you still plan to return to Beast Gathering City? After all, you have lived in that city for so long."

There will be some feelings left behind, right?
Song Yi shook his head, "I'm not an orc in Jushou City, even after I leave, I won't leave any thoughts."

"Our Eagle Clan grew up on the harsh and desolate cliffs. When we grow up, we will fly to all parts of the continent, looking for more comfortable gathering places, pursuing stronger strength, and pursuing females."

"The reason why I followed you to this city is because Jushou City can no longer help me fulfill my wishes and improve my strength, so I want to change to a new city and continue to live." Song Yi's eyes fell on the slightly tangled female With a face on his face, he said slowly.

"So it is."

An Jin breathed a sigh of relief, if there was another peach blossom, Mi Yin would definitely kill people when she came back...ah no, kill beasts.

Song Yi looked at her, hummed lightly, and stopped talking.

After the gloomy dark clouds were blown away from the sky by the strong wind, a pale and cold light soon appeared. The air was still cold and humid, but it was much better than before.

An Jin got out from the golden eagle's wings, revealing a small head, and then came to the entrance of the nest, his eyes fell on the field of vision below.

She suddenly realized more why eagles and beasts like to build nests in big trees.

This feeling of overlooking the territory of all things like an emperor is simply heart-pounding.

She had a panoramic view of most of the city, every construction store, every river and road, and even a bleating beast on the livestock farm that was chewing grass slowly, she could actually see it clearly.

Gives a great sense of control.

She has witnessed from the very beginning that through the efforts of her and the orcs, this little-known tribe has been gradually built into a city gathered in all directions.

An Jin couldn't help curling her lips, Song Yi came behind her, followed her gaze, and immediately understood what she was feeling.

"Perhaps you need a city lord's stone castle that is imposing and tall enough."

He suggested with a chuckle.

An Jin turned to look at him, "City Lord Shibao?"

"Yes, the city lord of each city has his own stone castle. This is not only the greatest symbol of ruling power, but also makes it easier for you to overlook your own territory and people like now. It is also easier to detect if there is any trouble."

As he spoke, he couldn't help sighing again, and his eyes tinged with a smile when he looked at her, "You are the only city lord I have ever seen who lived in a wooden house with ordinary orcs, if you hadn't witnessed the beastmen with your own eyes. With all the love and respect people have for you, I might have thought you were just a beautiful, ordinary female."

"Nowadays, the city is getting bigger and bigger. Meeting with the rulers or envoys of other cities will definitely be indispensable in the future. You don't want to wait for them to be invited into an ordinary log cabin to discuss important matters after they finish feeling the prosperity of this city. ?”

"I understand."

An Jin was amused by his euphemistic remarks and couldn't help but nodded, "I will put the construction of the stone castle on the agenda during this period."

"Strong and hard-working eagle beast warriors can bring you enough stones and wood at high altitudes. If you need it, you can give them orders as much as you like." Song Yi finally gave this team of eagle beasts to her command.

The rain also stopped, and Song Yi took An Jin back to the wooden house. When Xi heard the movement, he hurriedly opened the door first.

"Ajin~ You're back. I didn't expect it to rain on the way, and I was worried about whether this eagle could protect you!" Xi happily led her back to the house.

After several years of training, the little sharks who have perfectly mastered the hunting ability on land have already prepared food, and are just waiting for their little females to come back to eat~
Song Yi is slender and beautiful, standing at the door like a pine, bamboo and rock, watching her figure leave in sight little by little.

When Xi was about to close the door.

An Jin reached out to stop him, and turned to look outside the door, "Songyi, why don't you come in? It's so late, why don't you come home and have something to eat, not to mention you helped me so much today."

"Me?" Song Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on her gently, and he spoke hesitantly.

An Jin nodded as it should, "Yes, you have been taking me to tour the city today, and it rained again in the afternoon, so I didn't have time to go hunting outside, besides, there is no food in your lair."

If you have troubled him for a day, he can't go home hungry, right?
This is too unkind.

"Okay." Song Yi smiled, not rejecting the female's kindness, and a faint warmth rose in his heart.

"Ajin~!"

Xi was very unhappy, he tugged at An Jin's hand in confusion, then looked hesitantly at the obtrusive eagle beast at the door, "Why let him in for dinner, he's not your companion— "

Just about to read the last two words, Xi's voice stopped abruptly.

It seems... it seems... it seems... he is not A Jin's partner, but he still eats and drinks in her presence for several years.

What qualifications does he have to prevent this eagle from entering the door?

Even if everyone is male, they can see each other's hidden thoughts.

"It rained today. I didn't catch much prey. It may not be enough for the few of us to eat together." Not wanting to ruin the hard-earned alone time with the female, Xi thought of something and deliberately said in a roundabout way.

An Jin could see that Xi was playing with a small temper. As a water-loving mermaid, the heavier the rain, the stronger his hunting ability would be.

But it is really unkind to trouble Song Yi for a day and let him go home hungry.

She said, "I don't need to eat too much food. I'm not very hungry. I'll be full after just two bites."

Seeing that she was so determined, Xi could only let the two of them in angrily. He was extremely unwilling, and secretly planned to give the eagle beast less food for a while.

In this hunt, Xi caught a total of two jack-eared rabbits and two baskets of seafood.

Because Ling Hong, who was in charge of the cooking, was not at home, and Xi was not good at handling the internal organs of prey on land, so the very self-aware little shark put the two long-eared rabbits in the freezer, and planned how to eat them when An Jin came back.

Two baskets of relatively easy-to-handle seafood were made into a large plate of seafood by him.

It's easy to make a big seafood dish. Xi saw that Ling Hong had done it, and secretly kept it in his heart.

——Clean the crabs, scallops, shrimps, etc., drain the blood, then put it on the fire and steam it until cooked, and then sprinkle with the all-purpose sauce that An Jin puts in the kitchen.

The first time I did it, I actually did it well.

There were two big baskets of seafood, and when she was waiting for her to go home, Xi had thoughtfully peeled two bowls of shrimp meat and crab paste and crab meat into the bowl.

An Jin ate directly from the bowl after returning home. Feeling that the meal was not satisfying enough, he steamed another pot of fragrant rice.

The three of them ate seafood with rice, and they were all satisfied.

After eating, Song Yi, who had been secretly hated by Xi with his eyes for a long time, left with an excuse.

Every time it rains, especially thunderstorms, in order to ensure the safety of the city, Song Yi will take the eagle beasts to inspect the rise of the upstream river.

"It's already very late, why don't we go tomorrow?" She remembered that the eagle's eyesight was not very good at night.

"We fly very fast, it only takes half an hour at most, and we can get back before dark."

An Jin nodded with relief, and after watching him go out, he returned to his room and lay on the bed to rest.

Tossed and turned but couldn't sleep.

I don't know how Ling Hong and Mi Yin are doing now?She had asked about the situation in Chili West Continent, which was the territory of the absurd capital ruled by stray beasts.

According to the task to get gold coins, she will need three months at the fastest before she can save enough gold coins to exchange for Huichun Pill.

But Gan Yin and the others have been away for a month, and no news has been received yet.

Beast God Fruit, this kind of mysterious and mysterious thing that only appears in legends, can it really be found?

Tossing and turning from side to side, unable to fall asleep, An Jin got up in the dark at night, lit the oil lamp, and found charcoal sticks.

With difficulty, a piece of wood was pulled out of the drawer.

The dim light reflected from the dim oil lamp, and the engravings on the wooden board were vaguely visible, recording her recent schedule.

It's really inconvenient to write on a wooden board, An Jin thought, and wrote down the words "papermaking" on his schedule half a month later.

The beast world has already developed basic pictorial characters, but the number is very small, and the characters of each tribe are also different, but this does not affect their animal skin paper or wooden boards to record their characters.

The writing on animal skin paper is close to that of ordinary paper, but it is too rare and rare. It is mostly only used when messengers communicate between cities and when writing simple books.

If she can make paper that is easy to use, cheap and can be mass-produced, it will add another product sales channel and earn more crystal nuclei.

Let's go big--

The level of civilization and education in this world will be greatly improved!

——Smelting iron, building water projects, swamp energy, building stone forts, making paper, unifying writing and then developing it, developing education...

The board can be covered with paintings.

It turns out that there are still so many things.

An Jin lay down on the table and sighed, she hated her current body, she was really powerless, so she could only take things slowly one by one.

……

Compared with other areas in warm zones, the Western Continent has entered the cold season ahead of schedule, with ice and snow everywhere and everything is silent.

Because it is located in a large river valley with intense crustal movement, this area is full of rift valleys and cliffs, and countless hideous mountains that look like animal teeth go straight to the sky, with thorns and strange rocks.

Like a sharp sword falling from the sky, it divides the vertical and steep mountains into two, and the roaring river rushes away from the bottom of the visually stunning Great Rift Valley, winding in all directions.

Even though the exterior is covered with pale ice and snow, and the river is mostly frozen, it still makes people feel that nature was born in such a magical landform.

On the ice and snow where no grass grows, a slender and beautiful silver wolf is searching everywhere, and a colorful black and red python is entangled on the winding rock.

No one has ever seen what the beast god fruit looks like, only heard that this kind of fruit emits a faint light, just like the beast god descending.

Since it is rarely discovered, it can be inferred that this fruit must grow in inaccessible areas.

Mi Yin and Ling Hong searched in the steep and remote mountains.

But for a month, still nothing.

"Hiss~" There were chaotic footsteps not far away, and Mi Yin lay on the cliff and stopped swimming, squinting her blood-red and cold snake eyes and looking down.

What broke into the field of vision was a large group of stray beasts mainly composed of spiders, scorpions and pythons.
