A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

"Tiger Wing, are you living with the new female and planning to have cubs together? This female is pretty, but a little thin. I don't know if she can have cubs. Also, the cold season is coming soon, so you have to be careful." An orc said to Tiger Wing beside him while cutting a hollow log.

In the minds of the orcs, when looking for a female, they will look for a strong one. It is not that they have any prejudice against weak females, but strong females can give birth to stronger orcs and can survive the cold season smoothly. Females as thin as Su Ling used to return to the arms of the Beast God when the cold season came and the temperature was too low. They could not survive many frostbite diseases. If they were pregnant, no matter how careful they were, they would not be able to survive, so they had to choose the right time to get pregnant.

Hu Yi frowned when he heard that but said nothing. He thought about the hyena bead that he was currently polishing. The bead was good for the female body, so when he got it, he thought about giving it to Su Ling. He would give it to her when he finished polishing it. He hoped that the bead could improve Su Ling's physical fitness and help her get through the cold season better.

"Of course Hu Yi knows about this. We don't need to worry about it. We should quickly chop the wood and weave the baskets so that we can bring more food back to the tribe and eat less during this cold season." Hu Shan, who was used to Hu Yi's indifference, said to the orc who had just spoken.

Ever since Hu Yi injured his face, he has become even more indifferent. Many females are afraid to approach him, making people wonder if he will live alone from now on. Unexpectedly, he will bring back a female this time and let her live with him, so everyone wants to show concern for him.

Without saying anything more, everyone went back to the business of cutting hollow logs. The sound of felling trees could be heard from the forest.

Hu Yi looked at the person who was bending over to collect things not far away, and his expression softened a lot.

On the other side, Su Ling was really happy at this time. She found a lot of bamboo fungi. Bamboo fungi are good things. They are more delicious than ordinary mushrooms and have high nutritional value.

When she was in Blue Star, she went to the south. It was the season for eating bamboo fungus. She had eaten a wild one once and had always been fascinated by its taste. Today, she saw so many of them again. How could she not be happy?

Su Ling was so engrossed in picking mushrooms that the basket she brought was soon full. She straightened her back and wiped the sweat off her face. She felt reluctant to leave as she looked at the many mushrooms she had not yet picked.

She didn't notice at all that there was a snake spitting its tongue at her above her head. After a while, Su Ling realized something was wrong. Not to mention the hairy feeling on her back, even the slight hissing sound of the snake spitting its tongue made her break out in a cold sweat.

The animal that Su Ling fears the most is snakes. It’s not because she has been bitten by a snake before, but because she is born afraid of this species. Maybe the fear of snakes is engraved in the genes of the Blue Star people.

Su Ling resisted the urge to run forward, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. She could already feel the sound of the snake crawling on the hollow wood, and her feet could not help but move forward.

"do not move."

The sound was like nature's music, and my tense nerves relaxed at this moment. It was followed by the sound of a stone hitting an object, and then the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Su Ling immediately ran towards Hu Yi and fell into his arms. Only at this moment did she feel alive again. Hu Yi hugged her tightly, patted her back gently, and looked at the snake with eyes like icy arrows, as if he wished to cut it into pieces.

After cutting the bamboo, I came over here to call for help, but I didn't expect to see a snake biting Su Ling. This was the second time I saw such a situation. It seems that I have to keep a close eye on people in the future, otherwise something bad may happen if I am not careful.

"Don't cry, it's okay, the snake has been killed." Hu Yi coaxed in a low voice.

Su Ling wiped her face, she didn't know why it was already full of tears, "Ah, I don't know, I didn't want to cry." There were still some tear marks on Hu Yi's chest, Su Ling's face was red with embarrassment, and she hurriedly used her sleeve to wipe it for him, "I'm sorry, I'll wipe it for you."

Hu Yi grabbed her hand and said, "Don't worry about me. Are you hurt?" Although he didn't see the snake touch Su Ling, Hu Yi still asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt." He wiped the tears from his face and said to Hu Yi with a smile, "I picked a lot of mushrooms. They are delicious when boiled into soup. I'll make some for you when I get back."

"Hu Yi, what happened here?" It was Hu Shan who came here to look for someone after not seeing anyone go back for a long time.

"It's okay, we killed a snake and will go back now." Hu Yi looked at Hu Shan and said.

"Snake, is Su Ling okay?" Hushan looked at Su Ling worriedly and asked.

"It's okay, luckily Hu Yi arrived in time." Su Ling said and looked at the snake.

Su Ling was not afraid of dead snakes. The three of them walked over and checked the snake's corpse. The stone thrown by Hu Yi hit the snake's body exactly at the seven-inch point, and blood was still flowing out from there.

The snake's body is the size of a bowl. It is a python, more than three meters long, and its entire body is emerald green, the same color as the surrounding hollow wood. No wonder I didn't notice it.

Su Ling looked carefully at a place behind the snake, and forgot about the thrilling experience just now. She took a step and was about to walk towards the plant she saw, but was stopped by Hu Yi beside her.

"Don't come near, just watch from here."

"I'm not looking at the snake, I'm looking at the clump of plants behind it. I'm going to see if it's something I know. Otherwise, you can come with me." Su Ling explained.

Without saying anything else, Hu Yi led Su Ling towards the cluster of plants she pointed to, and Hu Shan followed.

Pulling the plant out of the soil, Su Ling's eyes lit up. It was indeed ginger. Ginger is a good thing. Not only is it indispensable in cooking, it also has high medicinal value.

"Hu Yi, this is ginger. It can be used in cooking. You can also use it to boil water to drink when you have a cold, cough or runny nose." Su Ling presented the treasure to Hu Yi.

Looking at her proud look, it seems that she has forgotten the shock just now, which is a good thing.

However, Hu Shan, who was standing by, immediately became uneasy when he heard that it could cure diseases. "What! This thing can cure a runny nose, is that true?"

It's no wonder that he doesn't care whether he can cook or not. Just hearing that it can cure a runny nose, he can't wait to ask. Because the winter season is too cold, many orcs will catch a cold if they are not careful, and they have no medicine to take, so minor illnesses are delayed into major illnesses, and there are not a few who cannot survive it, so the number of orcs is decreasing year by year.

"Don't worry, you can. Oh, by the way, Hu Yi, when you go back, tell the clan leader about the two kinds of medicine you used before, and ask him to tell everyone to pick some and dry them for later use." Su Ling said as she picked ginger.

"You're going to tell all this to the tribesmen, is it okay?"

I believe that no tribe would not be tempted by the value of these medicines, and Su Ling actually wanted to tell the tribe about such an important thing. How could there be such a person? I wonder what kind of tribe she lived in before.

After spending some time together, Hu Yi has realized that Su Ling did remember everything, so he didn't ask too many questions and told her to wait until she wanted to talk about it.

"Of course, it's not an important matter." Su Ling said indifferently.

Hu Yi shook his head helplessly, "Okay, I'll go find the clan leader when I get back."

Although Hushan didn't know what the medicine was, he knew it was something very important from Hu Yi's expression, so he didn't say anything and continued to pull the ginger from the ground.
