Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Long Ying helped Mona quietly leave the altar. The two sat in the yard, looking at the starry sky, enjoying this rare peace.

"Brother Ying, I'm pregnant again. Can you sense whose it is?"

"I can't sense it. The witch doctor couldn't find it. There are two forces competing. I guess it's two cubs again. One wants to swallow the red crystal, and the other doesn't. It's so polarized. Little one, you're going to suffer. You can't stop looking for the Fantasy Moon Grass. This is your guarantee."

"I know what the other baby wants. It's spiritual power. When I was practicing healing techniques, I felt a warmth and fluctuation in my abdomen. At first, I thought it was the spiritual power gathering in my dantian. Now I think it must be the cub absorbing the spiritual power and then transferring it to me."

"I'll take you around tomorrow and choose a place with abundant spiritual energy to practice. Then I'll confirm whether your feeling is right. Also, we need to organize them to fight fierce beasts. We need to hunt more red crystals."

"Let's go check on Yuzhu's mountain tomorrow. Their elders and younger females need to do some work. In the cold season, we'll try to make quilts and clothes out of the catkins. In the snowy season, we'll have charcoal, a kang, and quilts. This year, there won't be any losses for the tribe."

"I'll listen to you. Just do what you say. Be sure to take care of your body."

"I know. I won't try to be stubborn. Don't worry. Winter planting will be on the agenda tomorrow. Oh, and have all the tribesmen go hunting and store meat. I'll take care of the salt problem."

"Okay, go and rest. I'll get you some water. You'll feel better after a soak."

"I'll just soak here, you just keep watch."

"Okay, I'll keep watch over you." Long Ying's doting voice sounded.

Mona quickly took off her fur skirt and sat in the water, sighing comfortably with her eyes slightly narrowed. Seeing her like this, Long Ying remembered the last time they were in the hot spring. He could no longer hold back and stepped into the hot spring. After a while, a wave of foam was stirred up.

Long Ying took the animal skin, wrapped Mona in it, and returned to the room, where several beastmen were already waiting.

"Let's talk later. Let the little one rest first. She is tired." Everyone smelled the scent after intercourse. Seeing that Mona was sleeping soundly, they couldn't bear to disturb her, so they waited quietly.

"Baby has only recovered a little bit, and you're acting like a beast. If anything happens to baby, we won't forgive you."

"Stop yelling, are the two kids asleep too?"

"Go to sleep. He keeps crying for his mother. After all, he's still a little cub."

"It's good to be asleep. I just chatted with Xiaobutian about something. You can listen and see if there is anything to add." Long Ying told everyone about making quilts, clothes, and planting.

"Just do as Na said, but we can't stop iron smelting. There will be a beast tide in the snow season, but we have weapons, which provides an extra layer of protection." Wushuang said worriedly.

"Little Bit means that all the males should go hunting to store meat for the snowy season. Planting can't be delayed either. The females, young and old, should stay in the tribe to plant and make quilts. Let's get through this snowy season first and make plans later. Little Bit doesn't want anyone in the tribe to starve or freeze to death during the snowy season."

“This is feasible. We can first focus on hunting, keep the docile ones in captivity, and then help the tribe when we have enough food.

"That's true, we didn't get any salt in exchange, and we hunted too many wild animals to preserve them.

"Don't worry about this. Little One said he would find a way. You all know it.

"Hmmmm!" Nothing needs to be explained.

The next day, the chieftain gave the order for all males to form teams and go hunting. Each team was assigned two Eagle Beastmen as vanguards to scout out the beasts' locations. He also specifically reminded them not to attack recklessly when encountering ferocious beasts, but to prioritize their own safety. Of course, each new member was also equipped with a bow and arrow, and given on-the-spot instruction. The males of the beast world were truly intelligent, quickly learning the ropes, and some even managed to hit their targets without missing a beat, drawing rounds of applause.

After the males left, Mona slowly woke up. The one who stayed with her was Bixi, this beastly man who didn't fight or compete, didn't talk much, and always made contributions silently.

"Bixi, come here." Bixi thought Mona wanted something, so she walked over quickly and helped her sit down.

"Boo, boo!" Mona kissed Bixi on the face twice. "Thank you, Bixi, you always care about me in every possible way and take care of two cubs. Although I don't know whose this one is, I promise you, if this one is not, the next one will definitely be yours."

"Na, thank you for thinking of me and making me feel like I'm not a lonely beast."

"Silly boy, how could you be lonely? You have me, Brother Ying and the others, your cubs, and you will have cubs of your own bloodline too."

Bixi had never thought that Na would bear him a cub. Among the beastmen, he had the lowest fighting ability. If he hadn't rescued Na and brought her back to the tribe, he probably wouldn't have been able to find a partner. He secretly vowed to improve his fighting ability to match Na.

"I'm hungry. I'll eat and go to the Eagle Clan."

Bixi quickly put the prepared food on the bamboo table. After washing up, Mona ate her fill of food and went for a walk with Bixi to the Eagle Tribe.

After a day of planning and construction, the Eagle Tribe had a well-established structure. Tree holes of varying sizes, with neatly arranged haystacks beneath them, were the work of the herbivores. Deep within the haystacks were neatly arranged stone houses with kangs built in. Hmm, this must be the work of the Teng Snake and Silver Wolf Tribes. Mona chuckled. Only when all tribes are united can there be hope for development.

"Wu, why are you here?" Yu came out of a stone house.

"Huh? You were in the tribe, didn't you go hunting?"

"I didn't go. I arranged accommodation for the tribe members and let the females go to collect."

"No, we're allies now, so we're one family. You eat what we eat, and you use what we use."

"When we formed the alliance, we agreed that you would give me a mountaintop, and we would be self-sufficient for the rest."

"I know you are very strong-willed and keep your promises, but now that we have formed an alliance, you are members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Tribe and a family."

"Thank you, Wu."

"I came here today for another reason. The males are all out hunting, storing meat for the snow season. Of course, we can also keep them in captivity. Your Eagle Tribe is more convenient, like Cuckoo Birds and Jackrabbits. These are less harmful and easy to keep in captivity. I want to take the females to the exchange office to help make quilts, plant crops, and so on."

"Okay, I'll call the females over right away. Old Beast and Little Beast can help if needed."

"That would be great. Thank you, Chief Yu."

When Yu gathered the Eagle orcs together, Mona looked at them carefully. They all had hooked noses, some more prominent, some less obvious, but all of them were pleasing to the eye.

"My fellow tribesmen, Chief Yu has already told everyone that I need your help. Of course, I won't let you help for free. You will all be rewarded accordingly."

"Everyone, listen to me. When we get to the exchange office, obey the witch. If anyone causes trouble, don't blame me for kicking him out of the tribe."

"I know, Chief."

Mona and Bixi led the group straight to the exchange office. The orcs who had arrived earlier were already working, and the room was filled with catkins flying up and down. There was laughter and joy.
