The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead
Chapter 208: The Beast World Alien Male Supporting Character & The Cannon Fodder Native Female 1
Wenrou's belly has become round and plump. Recently, Eric has been feeding her non-stop, which has made her fatter.
Wenrou was very distressed by this, but Eric felt a sense of accomplishment and comforted Wenrou: "It's okay. It's winter now, and you need to gain some weight. And you have our cub in your belly now, so you will definitely gain some weight."
Eric carefully placed his head on Wenrou's belly and listened to the movements inside. This was his favorite thing to do recently. Occasionally, he could hear the sound of the cubs moving in the belly, and sometimes the cubs would kick Wenrou's belly, as if responding to their father.
Because Eric had stockpiled a lot of food before winter came, which was enough for the two of them to eat for two winters, so when the weather got cold, Eric stopped going out and stayed in the cave with Wenrou every day.
The gestation period of females in the orc world is generally more than three months, which means Wenrou will give birth to cubs in the middle of winter.
Wenrou touched her stomach and thought of other people in the tribe. She couldn't help but say, "I don't know if the tribe will have enough food this winter. I haven't seen the old chief for a long time." In the past, Wenrou was in charge of food, and she would be frugal and save enough food to survive the winter.
But now the task of managing food has been handed over to Tian Tian. She can tell at a glance that she doesn't know how to manage the food, so Wenrou can't help but worry about the people in the tribe.
Eric had been driven out of the tribe, so he didn't have a deep bond with it. However, he was deeply worried about the old leader. The old leader was already very old. Without enough food, it would be difficult for him to survive the winter.
Eric frowned and said, "I'll go back to the tribe today." No matter how the tribe treated him, the old patriarch was really good to Eric, so he couldn't just sit back and watch.
Eric was a man of action, and he rushed to the tribe that afternoon. To avoid conflict, they now lived far away from the tribe.
After walking for a while, Eric found something wrong because there were many messy footprints on the snow, and they were obviously not leopard footprints.
Eric frowned and couldn't help but quicken his pace. When he got closer to the tribe, he noticed the red skin hanging high.
Of course Eric knew what the red skin meant. His heart skipped a beat and he carefully sneaked in through the back door of the tribe.
When he entered the tribe, he found some old, weak, sick and disabled people fighting with several jackals. The leopard beastmen were surrounded and bitten by the jackals, and their bodies were covered in blood.
Especially the old chief and the only male orc, who had several biting jackals hanging on their bodies and could barely stand.
Eric didn't see any other male orcs and couldn't help but feel puzzled. What happened in the tribe? Why did even the females join the battle?
Eric frantically thought of a solution. If he rushed out rashly, it would probably be useless. Suddenly, he thought of the fire that Tian Tian had started.
Eric had seen the power of that thing. A wild boar was put on it and turned into a charred black in a short time. Because Tian Tian only taught Garen how to make a fire, the rest of the tribe had to rely on either the fire starter or Garen and Tian Tian if they wanted to use fire.
Now, there happened to be fire in the tribe. Eric rushed to the house where the fire was stored, held up a few torches, and rushed towards the pack of jackals without hesitation.
He first used fire to burn the jackals on the old chief and the male orcs. Feeling the heat, the jackals were startled and loosened their grip.
The old patriarch's eyes lit up when he saw Eric, but when he thought of the jackals all around him, he couldn't help but shout, "Eric, leave quickly and don't worry about us. We can't defeat them, so don't sacrifice yourself in vain!"
Eric ignored the old chief's advice and used the same trick to stop the other jackals from attacking. Those jackals had never seen fire before, so they looked at Eric with fear.
Eric distributed torches to the others, asking them to use them to protect themselves. Seeing this, the jackals couldn't help but look at each other, and they saw hesitation in each other's eyes.
But they were so hungry, and although they were terrified of the flames, they finally rushed forward. Organized by Eric, the tribesmen stood back to back in a circle, waving torches to keep the jackals away.
Eric took the opportunity to attack the jackals continuously. His attacks were very skillful. He kept circling around and bit the jackals' necks hard when he got a chance. After killing one, he did not want to fight any more and just dodged to avoid being besieged by jackals.
When the other tribesmen saw Eric succeeding time and time again, their eyes lit up, hope arose in their hearts, and they resisted even harder.
As time went on, the jackals, who had previously held the upper hand, began to show signs of weakness, with only three remaining in the pack. They fought and retreated, and were beginning to consider retreat.
However, Eric did not give them a chance to escape. He pounced on one of the jackals and bit its neck off. Seeing this, the other tribesmen also rushed towards the other two jackals regardless of their injuries.
After all, there are only the elderly, weak and sick people in their tribe now. If they are asked to run back to ask for reinforcements, the tribe will definitely have no chance of winning.
After a fierce battle, Eric hurried to the old patriarch, who was lying on the ground, without even the strength to get up.
He had just gritted his teeth to continue fighting, but now that his enemy was gone, his strength suddenly waned. The old patriarch looked at Eric and said with relief, "Thank goodness you're back. Thank you, Eric."
At this moment, all the tribesmen gathered around, looking at Eric and expressing their gratitude. They had never expected that Tian Tian, whom they had previously called a goddess, would actually want to kill them, and that Eric, whom they had considered an ominous person, had actually saved their lives.
Eric looked at the pale and skinny weak orcs around him, and he felt no hatred in his heart. He just felt strange. Why were there no male orcs in the tribe now?
Eric actually asked his own question.
Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. By now, they had accepted the fact that they had been abandoned. They didn't know that all this was Tian Tian's idea. It was simply because those strong orcs abandoned them in pursuit of the power of the tribe.
Seeing this, the priest stepped forward and explained everything in a solemn tone. Eric's eyes widened when he heard that Galen had actually taken most of the male orcs away, leaving the few males and weak orcs behind to spend the winter alone.
"Moreover, they only left us rotten food!" The priest became angrier and angrier, and couldn't help shedding tears. He also hated himself for trusting the wrong person.
