Yanli put two large bags of beast spirits into a backpack and put them into the cave where the tribe stored supplies.

These are temporarily kept and will be distributed according to the different levels of orcs at the morning meeting every five days.

For Li Mingsheng, it is not enough for the people of the Jiuzhou tribe to just have enough food, they also need to become strong enough.

These days he must first complete the goal of getting enough food. After achieving this goal, the next thing is to improve his combat effectiveness.

They still don't have enough people.

The orcs who returned from hunting in the tribe were not idle either. Some of them were helping out everywhere and finding out what happened when they were not in the tribe. Some saw that a large amount of wood was needed to smoke bacon, so they ran to chop wood before it got dark and before dinner.

The people in the tribe are busy and working hard for the future, and the scene is prosperous.

"Don't be anxious, take your time." Yanli looked at Li Mingsheng coming back empty-handed, and there was some sadness on his handsome face. She knew that he didn't gain anything this time, so she took his hand and comforted him.

"It's okay. I'll take a look in the next two days and choose a target direction before setting off again." Li Mingsheng gently squeezed Yanli's hand.

The sadness of the two did not last long, as it was diluted by other things, leaving them with no free time at all.

"You said that you found traces of a group of orcs?" Li Mingsheng heard the report from Jin Wu and Hui after dinner.

"Yes, today in the direction of our hunting and gathering teams, there were many signs of orc activities on the ground. They were probably left behind two or three days ago."

Jin Wu was very familiar with the marks left by the orcs. When he was still in the Lion and Tiger Tribe, he also needed to go out hunting frequently. Sometimes he might be away for several days and had to sleep in the wild.

"We thought it might be traces left by Zhuo Qing and the others, but we were afraid of any accidents, so we still reported this information to you." Hui said from the side.

This is a sub-orc man who is older than Wen Qing. If calculated based on his previous life, he may be over 45 years old. According to the Wanyuan Continent, he is already over 100 years old in the beast age, and his life has begun to go downhill.

Even though the orcs and sub-orcs of Wanyuan Continent are long-lived and can basically live to about 200 years old, he is already halfway alive. Hui's face shows the vicissitudes of time, but also the wisdom that comes from having experienced countless hardships.

"Yes. Zhuo Qing and the others' whereabouts are unknown, so it's better to be careful."

"Select some people from the hunting team to pay close attention to that area these days to see if there is anything unusual." Li Mingsheng said to Jin Wu.

"It's autumn soon. We need to store more food in the early autumn. It's also the time when we need people. Thank you for your hard work these days." After Li Mingsheng finished speaking, he comforted Jin Wu and the others.

Jin Wu and the others also knew that time waits for no one, so they had no complaints about it.

After giving instructions to Jinwu and the others, Li Mingsheng, Shouhou and Hebao have been going out early and coming back late these two days.

Yanli wanted to spend some time with Li Mingsheng but he didn't have the time. They could only meet each other when he returned to the cave at night. However, he was too tired during the day and didn't have the heart to wake him up.

In the past two days, Li Mingsheng changed his previous aimless search in a circle and started to find a direction and explore deeper in that direction.

He had thought carefully about the terrain and his first choice was lake salt.

Lake salt is generally found in low-lying basins. There must be negative terrain for water storage, and long-term drought and heat are required to form white crystals at the bottom of the lake.

In response to this, Li Mingsheng specifically consulted the orcs in the tribe about which direction had lower terrain and a lake.

After a search, several targets were identified, so Li Mingsheng took his men out non-stop for the past two days.

The people in the tribe haven't seen the leader for two days. Fortunately, the remaining people in the tribe are all people who have suffered, and they have been selected, so there are no problems.

In addition to Yanli's iron-blooded wrist, the beast king beside him, and the responsibility of each team leader, the others did not dare to cause any trouble. Generally, there were only some minor disputes, which the team leaders could solve on their own.

"These bamboo backpacks made by Uncle Shu are really convenient."

After the sub-orcs came back with their collection, they took a rare break and started chatting while Yanli was registering the collection.

"Yes, yes. In the past, when I dug up the roots of the pond, I didn't dare to dig too much because I couldn't lift it. Now that I have a bamboo backpack, I can dig as much as I want."

A sub-orc was describing his harvest with gestures of his hands.

"But I haven't seen Skinny Monkey, River Leopard and the leader in these days. I wonder where they are going." While chatting, they somehow brought up Li Mingsheng, and the people in the tribe speculated about Li Mingsheng's whereabouts.

"I don't know. It must be something big to do." After Yanli finished registering, they also started to help deal with the strange beasts they brought back. The group of people dispersed, and they were just curious about the whereabouts of their leader.

For three consecutive days, Li Mingsheng returned empty-handed.

Although lakes were found in all these directions, none of them were what he wanted.

However, on the way there on the third day, he actually saw something familiar on a hillside - cotton.

The cotton had not yet burst open to reveal its white color, but was still tightly wrapped. After Li Mingsheng memorized the location and route, he finally felt relieved. Although he had not found salt, he unexpectedly encountered this mountain of cotton, which was a small reward for his hard work over the past three days.

He would be even happier if the salt problem could be solved.

He returned to the tribe feeling lonely again. Dinner was already served. Li Mingsheng and his friends were just about to line up when Yanli suddenly appeared and pointed to the food that had been reserved for them.

Two big diangens, a big bowl of exotic beast meat and lush green wild vegetables, it looks and tastes very good.

Skinny Monkey and River Leopard happily took their portions and walked towards the crowd.

"Eat." Yanli stuffed the stone bowl into Li Mingsheng's hand without asking about what Li Mingsheng had gained today. Looking at his expression, she knew that it was another day of failure.

Li Mingsheng found a rock to sit down, holding the warm food in his hands, feeling warm in his heart.

He was eating when Wen Qing passed by with two sub-orcs, carrying some odds and ends of alien beasts that were about to be thrown away.

The sub-orc walking in front kicked a stone and staggered, causing the basket he was carrying to contain the remains of the alien beasts that were to be buried to fall out.

"Captain Wenqing, I'm sorry." The orc knew his own mistake and apologized on the spot.

"It's okay, let's pick them up together. Just be careful later." As he said this, he set an example by picking up the fallen horn of the strange beast.

"Wait!" Li Mingsheng's sudden voice startled Wen Qing.

He took the strange beast horn from Wenqing.

He kept muttering, "This is an ram horn. Do you know where I got it?"

Yanli looked at the unusually excited expression on Li Mingsheng's face and began to wonder if he had suddenly been possessed!
