The sturdy man Shi Yuan scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "There's a severe water shortage in our southwestern area, especially during this hot and dry season. Almost all the rivers have dried up. The beast tribes here are preparing to migrate to the eastern seas. My tribesmen have also left, leaving only a few of us who don't want to go to the southern seas, so we thought of trying our luck in Wanshou City."

Su Qianqian nodded thoughtfully: "I see."

It seems that this hot season has such a great impact on the orcs in the southwestern area.

"Hey, your name is Sumu, right?" The orc named Nanwu still looked at Su Qianqian with a vigilant look.

"Since you're here in Myriad Beasts City to exchange supplies, how much food do you have left? Don't get me wrong, I just want to know if you have enough food to get to Myriad Beasts City. We've been walking all the way from the southwest of the continent for over a month, and we don't have much food left, but we don't have any extra food to share with you."

Su Qianqian smiled good-naturedly upon hearing this: "It's okay, I have enough food with me."

After she finished speaking, she deliberately stretched out her hand, and with a thought, a hide bag filled with water appeared out of thin air in her palm.

"Oh my god! You actually possess such a rare storage ability!!"

When several orcs saw the animal skin bag that Su Qianqian conjured up out of thin air, they all showed expressions of surprise.

Su Qianqian said modestly: "I am a beastman with two beast patterns."

Since you want to join someone else's team, you naturally have to show some of your abilities, so that others will be afraid of you and not dare to take advantage of you easily.

This was also the plan she had made long before she decided to join this team.

"Two beast patterns? How impressive!" Shifang exclaimed. "Before, I saw you were so thin and small, and I was a little confused as to why you were allowed to come to Myriad Beasts City. So this is the reason."

As Su Qianqian displayed her abilities, the orcs present also let down their last bit of vigilance.

"In that case, then you can just follow us with peace of mind. With our powerful team, you will definitely be able to reach Wanshou City safely." The speaker was Nan Wu, who was obviously intimidated by the supernatural powers displayed by Su Qianqian, and his tone became much more polite.

So, Su Qianqian officially became a member of this team.

The most enthusiastic person in this team was the strong man Shi Yuan. He put his arm around Su Qianqian's shoulders and chatted non-stop all the way.

Of course, Su Qianqian didn't dislike this enthusiasm, and she also learned a lot about Wanshou City from Shi Yuan.

For example, there are many city guards around Wanshou City. Each of them has at least two beast patterns, and they are specifically responsible for defending against foreign enemies and stray orcs, so living in Wanshou City is very safe.

Many weak tribes rely on Wanshou City for their survival, but in return for protection, they have to provide a certain amount of beast crystals and supplies to the city lord of Wanshou City every year, otherwise they will be expelled from Wanshou City.

"...Also, if you want to live in Myriad Beast City, you must spend three first-level beast crystals to buy a cave. Of course, if you are a female, you don't need to buy a cave and can live there for free."

"Beast crystal?" Su Qianqian tilted her head in pretended confusion.

"Oh, don't you know?" Shi Yuan scratched his head, then took out three animal crystals the size of his little finger from his arms. Each one was crystal clear, with a crystal-like luster, and was very beautiful.

"Look, this is the beast crystal. I got it from killing a ferocious beast. Oh, by the way, do you know what a ferocious beast is? It's not an ordinary wild beast. It possesses wisdom and abilities not found in orcs. It's extremely powerful and has beast crystals in its heads. As long as you kill them, you can get the beast crystals..."

Nan Wu, who was holding a moose nearby, frowned as he watched. Is Shi Yuan an idiot? He has only known him for a short time, but he has already taken out his animal crystal to show him. Isn't he afraid that the other person will have bad intentions?

But obviously, he was wrong.

Because the next second, Su Qianqian took out a larger beast crystal: "You are talking about this, I have one too."

"Oh my God, this is a second-level beast crystal!!" Shi Yuan exclaimed.

He looked at the even more translucent beast crystal in Su Qianqian's hand in amazement, and said excitedly, "This is the first time I've seen a second-level beast crystal. Su Mu, I didn't realize you were so powerful! Let me tell you, in Myriad Beast City, this second-level beast crystal can be exchanged for a hundred first-level beast crystals. You're equivalent to having a huge fortune. You can buy a lot of things in Myriad Beast City! You can even buy a female slave to serve you."

At this point, Shi Yuan winked at Su Qianqian mischievously, "You're so young, you probably haven't had a female yet, right? Let me tell you, there are plenty of beautiful females in Myriad Beasts City. You just need to..."

Before he could finish, Su Qianqian slapped his hand away and said coldly: "I am living well alone and don't need a female."

"Hey, you're a young male who has just reached adulthood. You'll understand how good females are when you grow up." Shi Yuan looked like an experienced person.

Nan Wu, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it any longer and kicked him in the butt. "Shi Yuan, you have dirty thoughts yourself, so don't lead others astray!"

"Hey, Nanwu, you are so rude! I have lived for so long and I am so old, but I have never even touched a female hand. What's wrong with saying a few words?"

"How dare you say such things? Aren't you ashamed?!"

"Why are you embarrassed? We're all males, full of vigor and vitality. I don't believe you wouldn't be tempted by a pretty female!"

"You—you want to get beaten again, right?!"

Looking at the two people arguing with each other, Su Qianqian silently moved two steps to the side and stood next to the more calm Shifang to avoid being affected.

Shi Fangjian smiled and said, "Don't be offended, these two guys are just like this, they don't have any bad intentions."

"Yeah, I understand." Su Qianqian smiled and nodded. In her world, this kind of relationship is generally called best friends, and only friends who get along very well with each other will be like this.

Thinking about it, Su Qianqian unconsciously touched the beast crystal in her palm. It turned out that the beast also had this thing in its head...

She couldn't help but recall the time when she went to the Misty Forest to look for Artemisia annua. She seemed to have picked up many corpses of wild animals, including several ferocious ones.

When she has time later, she will have to deal with the corpses of those ferocious beasts and see if there are any beast crystals inside...

"Oh, by the way, Sumu, when did you get separated from your tribe? How many days have you been alone in this forest? Have you seen other orc teams besides us?" Shifang asked.

"No." Su Qianqian shook her head and sighed, "I got separated from my tribe seven days ago. I've been wandering in this forest for a long time, but apart from you, I haven't seen any other orcs..."

Actually, it wasn't like that. She had already captured this team on her mobile phone navigation, and she deliberately stood on that road waiting for them.

Upon hearing this, Shifang also sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that this hot season has had a great impact on the beast tribes in the south. They have all migrated to the eastern seas. If it were in the past, we would have encountered many caravans on this road."

Upon hearing this, Su Qianqian subconsciously looked up at the sun gradually setting in the west. The sky was filled with red clouds, gorgeous and colorful.

But it didn't give people the slightest desire to appreciate it, because it was too hot. Even though the sun had set, the entire continent was still shrouded in high temperatures like a steamer.

In the past half month, she has walked a lot and visited many places. Almost every place she passed by was extremely hot. All the rivers and lakes had dried up without a drop of water.

The temperature displayed on her phone was even 45 degrees.

Forty-five degrees, what does this mean?

The highest external temperature that a normal person can tolerate is only 40 degrees. Once this temperature is exceeded, the human body's sweating, breathing and blood circulation systems will be greatly affected. In severe cases, it will lead to heatstroke, heat stroke and other related diseases, and even paralysis of the brain's regulatory function and death.

Even though the orcs can endure temperatures beyond what normal humans can bear, a temperature of forty-five degrees is still terrifying for them.

If it were in the past, Su Qianqian would have been unable to bear the heat, but since she awakened her ice ability, her body seemed to have an extra layer of thin film protection, helping her to resist the high temperature from the outside world, keeping her body temperature at a normal level and not being disturbed by the high temperature from the outside world.

"It's getting late." Shifang also looked up at the setting sun in the sky, then turned to the team behind him and said, "I think we should rest here tonight. It's relatively cool in this forest, so everyone can get a good night's sleep tonight and continue our journey tomorrow morning."

"it is good!"

Everyone responded, and Shi Yuan hurriedly cleared out a piece of space. Nan Wu next to him was also busy. He went to the moose to take everyone's bags and began to distribute food.

The weather was hot and no one had the energy to make a fire and cook, so they just ate simple dried meat.

Nan Wu distributed the dried meat to everyone one by one. When he came to Su Qianqian, he handed her a piece and said awkwardly, "Here, this is for you. There's only one piece. There are no more."

Su Qianqian shook her head in amusement. This Nan Wu was a man who looked disdainful but acted upright. He always spoke with disdain, but was actually very easy to get along with and had no bad intentions. All the orcs in this team liked him very much.

Especially Shi Yuan, who often teased him with this.

"You really don't want it?" Nan Wu looked at her suspiciously, as if he couldn't understand why someone would refuse free food.

"Didn't you say that your team is short of food? I have food of my own, so I won't eat your food for free." As she said that, Su Qianqian spread out her fair palm, and a palm-sized piece of dried meat appeared in her palm.

"Okay, as long as you have food." Nan Wu didn't say much. He put the dried meat back into his bag. He didn't even look at the dried meat in Su Qianqian's hand. He left on his own.

After he left, Su Qianqian took a small bite of the dried meat in her hand and squinted her eyes because it tasted so delicious.

These were the dried meats she had made before. They looked similar to the dried meats that the orcs ate, but the taste was completely different.

Not only does it not have a hard texture, but various seasonings, eggs and sugar are also added. These flavors are fully integrated into the meat. How bad can the jerky made in this way be?

After eating, Su Qianqian drank a lot of water from the animal skin bag and felt very satisfied.

Ever since she awakened her ice-related abilities, she has no shortage of water and can use it at will.

After eating and drinking, Su Qianqian picked a piece of open space and lay down. She didn't look like a girl at all, just like the male orc.

She now looks like this thanks to this magic cloak.

After leaving the ruins, she had made up her mind that she would never show her true face to anyone again.

So she found the merchant from the magic plane and asked him if he had any magic props that could change her appearance and gender.

There are many items in the trading system that can change appearance and gender, such as the disguise pills and disguise techniques in the cultivation plane, or the one-second plastic surgery machines in the interstellar plane...

But she either couldn't afford these things, or, like the art of disguise, she couldn't learn them even if she bought them.

So, in the end, she thought of looking for a merchant from the magic plane, preferably a disguise artifact that could have the same invisibility function as a magic cloak.

Of course, I asked her about it in the end.

The merchant from the magical plane happened to have a magic cloak that could change the appearance and gender at will according to the owner's wishes. Just by putting it on, one could change one's appearance, just like the invisibility cloak, and there was no need to use magic to trigger it.

Of course, this magic cloak that changes one's appearance is not cheap. It cost her a full 990,000 star coins!

After buying this cloak, she only had a few dozen star coins left in her account...

Thinking of this, Su Qianqian sighed helplessly. She had spent a lot of star coins to buy those invisibility talismans and fasting pills before. Although the prices were not high, it was still a huge expense in total.

So, she quickly opened the plane trading system to see how many of the animal skins she had newly put on the shelves had sold.

not bad.

After selling a few, the balance in the account has grown to 80,000 star coins.

But for the upcoming auction, this amount of star coins is totally not enough.

Yes, that's right, the auction is coming soon.

This was what her good friend from the magic plane had told her a few days ago, asking her to stock up on some star coins and be prepared, as there would be many good things at the auction, and if she came across something she liked, she could buy it.

In response to this, Su Qianqian could only laugh.

She can’t buy anything with her 80,000 star coins.

This kind of auction is held entirely for those big guys who have no shortage of star coins. For those of them who don’t have many star coins in their accounts, they can only watch.

If it weren't for the auction of her thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, Su Qianqian wouldn't have cared about this kind of auction held specifically for the rich.

She has been paying attention to the plane trading system all the time these days, and even keeps the interface of the plane trading system open when she sleeps, for fear of accidentally missing the auction.

I don’t know what the auctions held in this plane trading system are like. Are they the same as the auctions in the modern world?
