A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

Su Ling also had a new understanding of the degree of danger in the orc world. His previous awareness was still stuck on the opposition between orcs and beasts.

It was not until this moment, when he heard from Hu Yi about their experience of going out, that he suddenly remembered that the dangers were not just the wild beasts, but also that conflicts and robbery between tribes had always existed.

And this will be the environment she will live in in the future. This kind of thing will not happen only once, but will happen in every corner of the wilderness.

Before, she had only been thinking about how to solve the problem of food and clothing for the tribe. Now, she thinks that defense is a more important thing. Not to mention preventing wild beasts, she will have to do a lot of things in the tribe in the future.

It is inevitable that those jealous tribes will come to rob, so we have to think carefully about how to defend the tribe well.

Hu Yi looked at Su Ling's pale face and resisted the urge to go over and hold her in his arms to comfort her.

Gradually, Su Ling's complexion recovered. Hu Yi watched her go from panic at the beginning to calmness and contemplation without saying a word to disturb her.

He did not want to hide it from Su Ling, but chose to tell her, just to let her know that the life of the orcs is always full of dangers. Not only are there ferocious beasts, but sometimes humans are more dangerous than beasts.

And he didn't know when he would meet with an accident. If he was gone at any time, with her abilities, as long as she stayed calm, she would be able to live a good life.

Su Ling didn't know what Hu Yi was thinking, so she stood up quickly and carefully checked Hu Yi's front and back. There were too many people in the square, so it was difficult to check carefully. Fortunately, there was only a shallow mark on his shoulder.

Because of the height issue, Su Ling didn't see it before. She frowned and reached out to touch the skin.

Hu Yi turned around and hugged Su Ling to sit on his lap. "Don't worry, it's okay now. My recovery ability is much better than before. This mark will be completely unnoticeable by tomorrow."

His recovery ability is better than before, which should be the effect of the hyena blood. When he was first injured, it was more serious than it is now, but after these two days, he has recovered almost completely, with only this shallow mark left.

"No matter how good your recovery ability is, it will still hurt when you get hurt." Su Ling gently stroked the scars on his face, which felt lighter than when they first met. When she checked just now, she also saw that Hu Yi still had some old scars on his body. Those were scars that would have existed even with recovery ability. How painful would it be to get hurt like this when you were first injured?

Hu Yi covered Su Ling's hand that was stroking his face with his hand, "Are you scared?"

"what?"

"The scars on my face."

Su Ling didn't feel scared, she just felt distressed.

Su Ling heard some things from Sha and Hu Ya. Before Hu Yi's face was injured, many females wanted to have cubs with him, but since he was injured, no more females wanted to have cubs with him.

The orcs felt that if an orc had a disability, he would definitely be disliked by the Beast God and everyone would avoid him. Some tribes would even exile disabled orcs from the tribe and let them fend for themselves.

Although Hu Yi's injury cannot be considered a disability, the injury on such an obvious part of his face is still considered a disfigurement, and it was even more terrifying when the injury was first sustained.

The tribe did not expel anyone from the tribe, but the females, who had never seen any bloody scenes, also hid away in fear.

From then on, Hu Yi became cold and indifferent. Even though his face got better, his character did not change. The females were afraid to approach him at first because of his face, and later because of his cold character.

Su Ling pulled Hu Yi's hand down, slowly moved closer, and gently kissed the scar on his cheek, "What do you think?"

At this moment, all the pain caused by the scar on his face disappeared, and his cold blue eyes flashed with captivating starlight.

Su Ling was lost in the dazzling starlight, and Hu Yi kissed her forehead devoutly.

"When the warm season comes, I will ask the witch to hold a partner ceremony for us." As he said this, Hu Yi stared at Su Ling's actions.

The partnership formed under the witness of the witch will be loyal to each other for the rest of their lives and will never leave each other. Few orcs will hold this kind of ceremony. Most of them just think they are a good match and live together and have a cub. The male will be responsible for raising the cub and also for food during the period of living together. The female will be responsible for food issues.

Hu Yi explained everything to Su Ling one by one. For some reason, he was confident that Su Ling would perform this ceremony with him.

Su Ling used to live in a monogamous society. Although she had seen many divorces and affairs, she had no relatives since childhood, and deep down she really longed for a lifelong relationship with one person.

The partner she wants is someone who will put her first at all times and in all situations, who will never give up on each other and be honest with each other no matter what the situation.

"Okay." Su Ling answered without hesitation.

She believed that Hu Yi was the other half she wanted.

After Hu Yi had a good rest, Su Ling decided to go with him to find the chief. They would be living in the tribe in the future, and it was impossible for Hu Yi to do everything for them. She also had to integrate into the tribe.

I happened to ask how the preparations for the kiln were going, and to tell the chieftain how he was going to build it, in the hope that enough pottery could be fired before the cold season for the tribe's use.

Otherwise, the temperature in the cold season is too low, which will affect the temperature of firing pottery. When I fired pottery myself before, I only used firewood. Take this opportunity to burn some charcoal, which is durable and relatively stable.

When we arrived at the tribe leader's cave, many people were already there.

The clan leader was also surprised to see Su Ling and Hu Yi coming together. Usually, Hu Yi would come to him to discuss matters, but he didn't expect that Su Ling would come with Hu Yi today. The clan leader waved to the two people who came in, "You are here, Hu Yi, bring Su Ling here to sit." The clan leader pointed to the stone bench on his right.

Nodding to the chief, Hu Yi took Su Ling to the stone bench and sat down. Except for a few tribesmen who came back from the trading day and looked a little strange, everyone else knew Su Ling a little and knew that she had solved some of the food problems for the tribe during the winter season, so they had no objection to her coming today.

After seeing everyone sit down, the chief continued, "What do you think of what Hu Li said just now, that the Giant Bear Tribe and the Hyena Tribe have joined forces to rob the tribes of their supplies during the trading days?"

Su Ling raised her eyebrows. No wonder everyone looked so serious when she just came in. It turned out that they were discussing this matter.

"This kind of thing has happened before, but it was never so blatant. They would only target small tribes. This time, they not only robbed many small tribes, but also several medium-sized tribes, and we are just one of them." Hu Li said angrily.
