A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

After soaking in the hot spring, Hu Yi went to catch two large hibernating snakes.

Back in the cave, Hu Yi processed the snake and returned the part that would be used for oil refining to Su Ling.

Lang Ji saw the two people preparing the snake meat and ran over quickly. "Where did you catch this snake? Do you want to eat it? Do you need my help?"

When Su Ling saw Lang Ji, it was like seeing a foodie who could think of eating anything. She asked with amusement, "Why are you alone? Where's Wei?"

"Wei is sleeping. I have nothing to do, so I came to help."

Su Ling thought about what Hu Yi said today and asked, "Is there really someone I need your help with?"

"Tell me what it is. Just tell me if it's something I can do." Hearing that his help was needed, Lang Ji perked up.

"I'm going to make some snake oil ointment, but the smell of snake oil is too strong. I want to think of some materials that can remove the odor. Hu Yi said that the potion you used to hide the beasts should be able to work. Hu Yi and I are both busy now. Could you please go and ask Chief Lang Jin if he has any potion left? If so, could you share some with me?"

"Oh, I thought it was something else. The potion knew something. When I came to the tribe, I got some of the remaining ones. They are with my father. I will go to him to ask for them now." After saying that, without waiting for Su Ling to say anything else, he ran towards the big cave.

Su Ling was so annoyed that she asked Hu Yi beside her, "Why is he in such a hurry? No one is chasing him."

"Don't worry about him. I just heard that you needed something and wanted to help."

Su Ling nodded, understood, stopped thinking about anything else, and continued to refine snake oil.

The snake oil was not yet refined when Lang Ji came back with something and handed a small gourd to Su Ling. Su Ling took it, opened it, and smelled it. It smelled very fragrant. She poured a little on the back of her hand, and it felt a bit like essential oil.

After the snake oil is refined, filter out the oil residue, pour some medicine into the snake oil, stir evenly, and pour it into a small jar prepared in advance.

After the snake oil cooled down, Su Ling took out some and smeared it on Hu Yi's face and hands, spreading it evenly for him. "How does it feel?"

"There is a slight stinging pain. Is there any problem? The best thing is, don't apply it on your face yet." Hu Yi said to Su Ling.

Su Ling laughed, "Some stinging is normal. It means your skin is too dry and lacks water. It has also been chapped from the cold. Remember to apply it every day. It will be healed in a few days."

"Su Ling, can you give me some? I want to give some to Wei. The skin on her face and hands is also chapped from the cold. I want to give her some."

The snake oil ointment she made did not contain any additives, so it could be used by pregnant women. However, Su Ling was not clear about the ingredients of the potion that Lang Ji brought. "Snake oil Wei can be used, but I don't know if there is anything in the potion you gave me that cannot be used by pregnant females."

"That's not the case. The plants we use are fine for females to use."

Since there is no problem with the materials, Su Ling is relieved. "Okay, there is a lot of food here. It is supposed to be shared with everyone after it is made. I will pack some for you and you can share it with others."

The next day, Su Ling distributed the prepared snake oil cream to everyone. The tribesmen who received it applied it on their faces and hands. After applying it, they did not forget to smell it. "This is quite fragrant. After applying it, I feel that my whole body is fragrant."

"Let me smell it. Wow! It's really good. I was wondering why Su Ling smelled so good today. It turns out she applied this."

"What are you talking about? Su Ling didn't smell good that day."

Su Ling listened in silence to a group of females talking about whether they smelled good or not. She was completely speechless.

Hu Yi chuckled when he saw Su Ling like this, "They are right, it smells good every day."

Su Ling rolled her eyes at him speechlessly.

Seeing that Su Ling was about to get angry, Hu Yi quickly coughed to attract everyone's attention.

"Okay, let's discuss the snake oil ointment later. I'll talk about something else now." Hu Yi told everyone about the capture of the bony beast.

Upon hearing that Tiger Wing was going to take everyone to hunt bony beasts, Wolf Jin's first reaction was that because of the joining of their tribe, the tiger tribe's originally abundant food was almost consumed, and they could only hunt bony beasts that were not tasty and would hurt their throats.

He had originally planned to go out and try his luck after the snow stopped, to see if he could hunt some wild animals. "Is it because there is no food? Now that the snow has stopped, I can take the wolf tribe to go hunting together."

"Yes, let's go hunting." Lang Zhan agreed. Now the brother has to take care of his sister-in-law. Brother Langtu led the team to the trading day before. When he came back, in order to delay the departure time of the tribesmen, he stayed behind with a few orcs to prevent them from leaving. However, he himself could not come back. He has grown up now and should share the burden for his father.

Su Ling felt speechless when she heard Lang Jin's words. She would rather go looking for prey that she wasn't sure if she could find in such a cold day than go fishing. After confirming from the look in his eyes, she could tell that he was a person who had been injured by a fish bone.

Hu Yi raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. After everyone stopped talking, he continued, "It was Su Ling who suggested going to catch the multi-bone beast. She has a way to cook the multi-bone beast deliciously. I believe everyone will not forget that many foods that we think are inedible have become delicacies after being cooked by Su Ling."

"So it was Su Ling who proposed the fishing. I have no objection then." As the number one fan, Hushan would certainly not object.

"We have no objection either," others echoed.

The wolf orcs have also heard a lot from the tiger orcs during this period. They heard that Su Ling has the ability to turn decay into something magical. The tiger orcs had no objection to hearing this. They also wanted to see how Su Ling would make the multi-bone beasts into delicious food.

If the bony beast can really be made into a delicacy, then there will be countless food in the river. Even if we can't hunt much food in the cold season, we won't starve.

"Since everyone has no objection, let me tell you how to catch the polybone beast."

When they heard Su Ling was going to talk about the method of catching the bony beast, everyone looked at Su Ling, waiting for her next words.

Afterwards, Su Ling taught everyone how to weave nets to catch fish.

After discussion, everyone decided to use a vine from the hemp plant for the fishing net. The vine has excellent flexibility, and most importantly, it grows on the mountain all year round and is more frost-resistant than silk vines, which have all been frozen in this season.

When Hu Yi led his tribesmen to collect the hemp vines and bring them back to the tribe, Su Ling tried to pull it, but couldn't break it. It took some force to break it. The vine was a thin one. When several vines were woven together, it was about the same thickness as an ordinary rope and was very suitable for weaving fishing nets.
