Mei Wuzhi shook his head. "I don't know the reason either. Nothing works, no matter what I try. Even if there are lucky enough prey that survive, they won't be able to lay eggs or reproduce."

"This is too strange." Mei Wuzhi, who is so smart, didn't know the reason. She didn't observe it on the spot and didn't understand what was going on. She thought of the system.

I couldn't help but ask: System, do you know what's going on?

The system searched the past of the fox clan, checked everything Mei Wuzhi said, and then explained.

[Host, these prey animals were originally free in the forest. After being captured and kept captive by the fox orcs, they became stressed. The foxes didn't find a way to comfort them, which ultimately led to their stress, depression, excessive fear, weakened immune systems, and death from infection.]

Stress?

Do wild animals also experience stress?

Bai Susu was puzzled. She only knew that domestic pets would experience stress, but she didn't expect that wild animals would also experience stress. In her understanding, wild animals traveled through the forest every day, faced various situations, and were stronger in all aspects.

After a systematic search, her doubts were resolved.

[Stress response is a physiological and psychological reaction of animals when facing changes in the external environment. Even wild animals will have a stress response.]

[After being captured as prey by the fox orcs, the wild beasts faced the fear of death, which caused a stress response. After being kept in captivity, they were trapped in fear for a long time. Long-term stress will affect the immune system of the wild beasts, making them more susceptible to illness or infection.

Conditions in the animal world aren't that good; these beasts must have contracted a disease after being stimulated, and died because of a lack of timely intervention.]

It turned out to be the case.

After hearing the system's explanation, Bai Susu suddenly realized that she was not well-educated and did not know these things. Fortunately, the system gave her some basic knowledge.

She lowered her eyes: System, is there any way to solve this problem?

After all, if she were to try to keep her prey in captivity, she would have to come up with a plan for dealing with stress in wild animals and intervene in time to keep them alive.

[Of course there are ways. We can help the beast adapt to its new environment through comfort and training. We can also reduce external stimulation. I have anti-stress spray and tranquilizers here. They are useful for any beast. If the host needs them, you can exchange them.]

it is good.

After the system said this, Bai Susu immediately had a strategy in mind. When she came to her senses, she saw the three beast husbands looking at her anxiously. Bai Po pinched her nose and said, "Susu, what's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly stop talking? I called you for a long time but you didn't respond."

Mei Wuzhi also asked, "Are you exhausted these days?"

Every time Bai Susu was lost in thought and talking to the system, she ignored all external sensations. The beastly husbands were often frightened when they saw her with such empty eyes.

She explained, "I'm fine. I was just thinking. If you see me like this again, don't worry about me. I was just concentrating on my thoughts."

Seeing that she was fine, the beast husbands' tense mood finally eased. Bai Susu looked at Mei Wuzhi and said, "I didn't expect that you had already figured out a way to raise wild beasts and train them as domesticated poultry. You foxes are really smart."

Mei Wuzhi said truthfully: "Although the fox tribe is smart, they are more cunning. When faced with many things, we foxes have no way to deal with them.

These captive breeding techniques were passed down by the Beast God on the stone wall, but they didn't teach the orcs how to tame these wild animals. In the end, they all died, and we were helpless."

"I have a way. You can try my method first. If we succeed, I can teach it to everyone." Bai Susu looked at the three beastly husbands with surprise and anticipation.

Bai Po said without hesitation: "Okay, I will accompany Su Su in whatever she wants to do."

Lan You is a mermaid. Before escaping from the tribe, she spent most of her time in the water. She has pearls, and other animals will exchange their prey with her for pearls, so she rarely goes into the forest to hunt and doesn't know about these things.

Seeing Bai Susu's suggestion, although he didn't understand, he supported it and said, "Susu, I will help you too. Just go for it."

Mei Wuzhi was stunned. He had personally participated in raising wild animals and tried to tame them but always failed. He knew the hardships involved.

But seeing Bai Susu's smiling face, he couldn't bear to disappoint her and decided to accompany her to try. His expression softened: "Then let's try again. With Susu here, maybe this time we'll succeed."

……

After Bai Susu had an idea in her mind, she asked the beastmen to catch some pheasants and rabbits for experiments in the afternoon. They kept them in a cage made of stones and sticks behind the stone house. The cage was very sturdy, so there was no need to worry about them escaping.

She counted and found there were ten pheasants and eight rabbits, including three female rabbits, five male rabbits, six hens and four roosters.

At first, these pheasants and rabbits wanted to escape, but when they found that they could not escape from the cage, they had no choice but to compromise. Perhaps they sensed the danger and their bodies had a stress response.

She observed carefully and found that most of the hares hid in the corners, huddled together, their bodies trembling and breathing becoming rapid. The more seriously ill hares would suddenly fall to the ground with their limbs twitching.

Only one male rabbit was a little braver. He stood in the front and explored the surrounding situation.

The pheasants' breathing rates quickened, and they ran around in the wooden cages, flapped their wings, and clucked. The chickens' condition was less serious, and the system meant that they just needed to be sprayed with anti-stress spray and kept in a dark place to adapt.

Seeing this, Bai Susu quickly did as she was told and imprisoned the pheasants and rabbits separately. Then she sprayed the chickens and rabbits with the exchanged anti-stress spray, and then she and the beastmen gently stroked the stressed rabbits to calm them down.

After the situation stabilized, Bai Susu used the exchanged water trough to change the water for them, picked some tender grass leaves for the rabbits, and dug some earthworms and crushed wild fruits for the chickens and threw them into the stone trough.

After that, Bai Susu went to observe every two hours. After being caged, these pheasants and rabbits had lost their appetite, huddled in the corner listlessly, and looked lifeless.

A trace of pity emerged in Bai Susu's heart. These guys were pitiful, but she had no way to do anything. No matter which world it was, it was the law of the jungle and only the fittest survived.

In the animal world, orcs are considered to be at the top of the normal food chain. These prey are their food, and in order to survive, orcs can only attack these prey.

Bai Susu was born in the end times and knows the importance of food. She will only think about other things after ensuring her own living standards.

She felt compassion but was powerless. Everything she did now was to survive.

Over the next few days, Bai Susu observed the prey kept in wooden cages every day. The condition of these prey gradually stabilized. She exchanged attractants with the system and mixed them into their food. The prey began to eat, and she slowly increased the amount of food every day until they began to adapt.

After that, we sprayed some anti-stress spray every day to calm their emotions appropriately. After about ten days, these pheasants and rabbits had completely adapted to captivity.

Immediately afterwards, following the system's reminder, Bai Susu exchanged some reproduction pills, mixed them with the hens, and within two days, the hens began to lay eggs.

Seeing the eggs, Bai Po, who had accompanied Bai Susu to clean the wooden cage, was very excited: "Susu, this pheasant has laid eggs. With eggs, can we hatch chicks?"

Bai Susu shook her head: "No, it can't be hatched."

"why?"
