"Wu Chen, I'm really fine."

As soon as they returned to the cave, Wu Chen put Lin Xi on the kang, turned over her clothes and examined her carefully.

Lin Xi was helpless, but he also knew the orc's worries, so he could only protest verbally, but he let the orc toss and turn his body.

Finally, he seemed to have really discovered that there was no scar on her body. Wu Chen stopped and held her in his arms, silent for a long time.

Lin Xi was being held with her neck tilted up, feeling a little uncomfortable. After enduring for a while, she couldn't help it anymore, so she moved and turned to the orc: "By the way, it was Hu Cong who saved me just now. I promised to wait for you to come back and give him a curly-haired beast or a yellow-skinned pig."

Wu Chen raised his hand and touched the top of the female beast's furry head: "Okay, I'll catch it in a moment."

He held the little female beast in his arms for a long time, and the violent heartbeat in his chest gradually calmed down.

The place where he went to look for wood today was not too far from the tribe, otherwise he would not have noticed the movement and rushed back so quickly.

Fortunately, Xixi is fine.

After a while, Lin Xi couldn't help it anymore and broke free from Wu Chen's arms.

Two of them came out of the cave. The orcs at the foot of the hill had already dispersed. At the entrance of the cave, there were two huge blood-stained wings.

Lin Xi still found it a little hard to accept these two wings.

After all, these are orc's wings. Before being torn off by Bai Nu, they looked like orc's arms, unlike those prey that could only be used as food.

She walked around the wings, stood aside, looked down at Wu Chen picking them up, and couldn't help wondering: "Wu Chen, why did Chief Bai Nu give us these wings?"

Wu Chen stretched out his arm to lift the bloody wing in his hand a little further away, and then answered Lin Xi: "Hang it outside our cave. If other beasts see it, they will know that we have killed a beast and will be afraid."

When Lin Xi heard this, he suddenly understood, but he still couldn't accept it in his heart.

Clearly, more than half a month ago, she was still a model young person. But just a few days later, she had to face all this fighting and killing. She really couldn't accept it for a while.

Lin Xi watched Wu Chen put the two wings on the rope and was about to hang them at the cave entrance. She quickly called out, "Wu Chen, can you hang them to the side? I don't really like this."

Wu Chen turned around and saw the little female beast with a conflicted look on her face.

He didn't know that when Lin Xi saw the bloody wings, she would recall the vulture orc's broken arms in human form. After all, it was a human form! Whenever she thought about it, she would feel acid in her stomach! But he still agreed immediately: "Okay."

After saying this, he picked up the pair of wings and walked a few steps to the south.

After hanging the wings, he returned to Lin Xi, hesitating and seeming to want to say something.

He also had to look for wood and hunt for night game and prey for the fox.

But the incident of a lone beast breaking into the tribe today made him a little worried about letting Lin Xi stay in the tribe alone.

Although the tribe is the safest place!

As a result, he was still struggling, but Lin Xi said to him: "Wu Chen, let me go out with you!"

Wu Chen was stunned and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Lin Xi had expected this.

She held Wu Chen's arm and said, "We won't go far, just nearby. I want to find some branches that can be bent and make something."

Winter is getting closer and closer, and the food storage season is about to arrive, but Lin Xi has always wanted to make backpack baskets, but she hasn’t even found the right materials!

So she wanted to go out and look for it.

And what happened today also made her have to be alert. Although Hu Cong's words were harsh, they were true.

She is too weak!

She couldn't even defeat the herbivorous female beasts.

But Wu Chen couldn't always be by her side to protect her, so she wanted to find some suitable wood to see if she could make a bow and arrow.

She already has a close-fitting dagger, but if she really encounters danger one day, long-range weapons such as bows and arrows can better ensure her safety!

At least you can still leave enough space to escape while attacking!

In the end, Wu Chen couldn't refuse Lin Xi, and he also felt that it would be safer to keep the little female beast by his side.

He still believes in himself a little more!

About ten minutes later, Lin Xi estimated that Wu Chen had carried him for nearly twenty kilometers before he finally stopped slowly.

Lin Xi slid down from Wu Chen's body.

This place is not far from the tribe, and the orcs are very active here, so there are basically no big wild beasts active in this area.

Wu Chen can also feel more at ease.

After Lin Xi's feet landed on the ground, he began to observe his surroundings.

This is a broad-leaved forest. The trees are very tall. The fallen leaves underfoot are very thick. When you dig up the fallen leaves, you can see the dark and wet soil underneath.

There are little bugs crawling inside.

There are many bushes in the forest, but most of them are just plants and cannot be eaten or used.

Lin Xi pulled Wu Chen's tail and walked in the woods for a while.

He gradually threw a few black worm fruits and yellow multi-seeded fruits into the bag he was carrying.

At this moment, she was squatting on the ground, digging the purple-skinned fruits in the soil with a bone shovel in her hand. As she was digging, she suddenly exclaimed "Huh?"

Wu Chen was beside her, digging at the roots of a tree with the bent-bone shovel made by Lin Xi. When he heard Lin Xi's voice, he hurried over.

As a result, we saw that she was struggling with a small tree branch in her hand.

He walked to Lin Xi and squatted down: "Xixi, what's wrong?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Xi turned around and looked at him happily: "Wu Chen, I found the tree I wanted! This is it!"

Lin Xi showed Wu Chen the branch that he had broken with great effort.

She was squatting here digging purple fruits, but the branches of the tree next to her were too dense and kept scratching her, so she wanted to break the branches.

Then she realized that the branch was impossible to break! She spent a lot of time trying, but she only managed to damage the outer bark a little.

This toughness is perfect for weaving baskets!

Wu Chen looked up at the tree and found that it was a common dwarf tree in the forest.

This tree does not grow tall, at most it can only grow to the height of two orcs. Usually the sheep tribe orcs like to pick the leaves of this tree and eat them. Because the leaves taste a bit bitter, it is also called the bitter tree.

So he pointed at the leaves on the tree and looked at Lin Xi: "Xixi, the leaves of this tree are very bitter, but they are edible."

"Can it be eaten?"

Lin Xi was most interested in food now! She ignored Wu Chen's words that it was bitter and only heard the word "edible"!

So she stood up, picked a leaf, wiped the dust off it, and put it in her mouth and chewed it for a few times.

Then she frowned slightly.

It was a bit bitter, but she took it well.

And it actually tastes like dandelions in spring.

Lin Xi immediately became happy! When she was at home, she liked to drink the bitter tea her mother made from dandelion grass.

Although bitter, the aftertaste is very fragrant.

She decided to try the leaves of the bitter tree and see if they would taste the same as dandelions after being fried!
