I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chief Zhan personally led a group of people and captured several wild beasts.

These wild beasts varied in size, and although they were all listless, they had few wounds on their bodies.

The cooked cassava was fed to the wild animals, and even though they didn't want to eat it, the beastmen still forced them to eat quite a lot of it.

The next step is to wait.

The experienced man said from the side, "After eating the big root grass, the wild animals will be poisoned within half a day. If they are still fine after half a day, it means that the big root grass is edible."

This was a major event concerning the entire tribe. The orcs who remained in the tribe stopped working and all gathered together, staring at the wild beasts.

Being watched by so many orcs, the captured wild beasts were terrified and unable to escape, so they began to make a ruckus.

They were all tied up with straw ropes, and no matter how much they struggled, they couldn't break free, which only made the orcs guarding them happier.

Most of the day had passed, and the wild animals were still lively and energetic, showing no signs of poisoning.

One orc started cheering, and then everyone cheered. Some orcs even transformed into their beast forms, howling and circling around their people.

Zhan's usually serious face broke into a smile as he cheered with his people and then began to determine what to do next.

We need to arrange for people to dig up the large root grass, clear out several caves to store it, and send people to other tribes to inform them that this is something that can save lives, and we can't hide it at a time like this.

Bai Ling was awakened by a thunderclap in the middle of the night. The wind was blowing fiercely outside, and the dry grass on the roof was whistling loudly. Although she couldn't see what was happening outside, Bai Ling could imagine the dry grass being blown around in the air.

The animal skin hanging at the door was blown by the wind. Bai Ling saw the lightning getting closer and closer, the thunder getting louder and louder, and then large raindrops began to fall.

The rain came quickly and heavily, and soon it started to drizzle inside the house.

Bai Ling and her younger brother Chen quickly got up. All the food in the house was in the storage room, and it would be a problem if the food got soaked in the rain.

The wind picked up, and the three men wrapped the meat and dried vegetables in animal hides. The gourds and white gourds were not afraid of being soaked in water, so they didn't need to worry about them for the time being.

While the father and his two sons were tidying up the food, the floor of the storage room was already soaked. The three of them carried the animal skin bundles back to Feng's bedroom.

There was no way to start a fire at this time, so the father and his two sons simply transformed into their animal forms and huddled together for warmth. They wrapped themselves in animal skins and held them close to their arms. Although they would still inevitably get wet in the rain, at least they wouldn't be soaked in water.

The rain grew heavier, thunder roared in the sky above the roof, and streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, even illuminating half of the house.

Chen kept his head down, his body even trembling slightly. Feng stuck out his tongue and licked his son, then whimpered twice. Chen moved closer to his father, resting his head on his two front paws, his eyes tightly closed.

The wind licked its youngest son again, then looked at its eldest son, only to find him staring out with shining eyes, showing no fear of thunder or lightning.

Feng felt relieved and continued to comfort his youngest son.

The water in the yard was getting deeper and deeper, and water was starting to seep into the house. The water inside the house soon submerged Bai Ling's claws, while the rain outside showed no signs of stopping and continued to pour down.

The howling of wild animals rang out outside. Bai Ling pricked up his ears to listen carefully, but it wasn't the howling of wild animals; it was the howling of wolves.

Feng stood up and whimpered twice at his two sons. Bai Ling understood his father's meaning. With the animal skin package in his mouth, he followed his father out of the room.

The house was no longer safe to stay in; they had to leave.

The father and his two sons, each carrying a bundle of animal hides in their mouths, braved the torrential rain and first went to the home of a long-eared rabbit beastman in the tribe.

The white wolf orcs, white lion orcs, and lynx orcs can quickly leave the tribe when they transform into their animal forms, but the long-eared rabbit orcs are different. Their animal forms are too small, and they can't run fast at all in this kind of weather, so they have to be taken to the cave to take shelter from the rain.

Feng led his two sons to the nearest long-eared rabbit beastman's house. Without Feng saying a word, the long-eared rabbit male beastman took out an animal skin and placed it on Feng's body. Then he tied three wooden strips to Feng's body, with a basket tied to one side of each strip.

The food from Bai Ling's family and the food from the long-eared rabbit beastmen's family were placed in baskets. The female long-eared rabbit beastman tied the child to her body, and her mate wrapped his upper body in animal skin to ensure the child wouldn't get wet. After doing all this, the female long-eared rabbit beastman mounted Qing, and the male long-eared rabbit beastman jumped onto Feng. Feng let out a howl and ran towards the low hill behind the tribe.

The rain was so heavy that Bai Ling didn't dare to open his eyes wide to see the road. He squinted and followed closely behind his younger brother, parting the grass and trees blocking the way and heading towards the light.

Some tribesmen had already reached the cave. The first ones lit torches to light the way for the others.

Bai Ling even saw the beastmen coming down the mountain again. They were all tall and fierce white lion beastmen and white wolf beastmen, and he didn't know what they were doing down the mountain.

The closer they got to the low hill, the deeper the water became. Bai Ling's beast form was nearly two meters tall when he stood up, and the water was now up to his thighs.

The water was deep and the grass was dense, so Bai Ling walked very carefully. He tried his best to keep his claws in the places where his father and brother had walked, and dared not deviate from their footprints at all.

Compared to Bai Ling, Feng Hechen walked much more steadily, especially Feng. Every time he stepped, he stirred up huge splashes of water, but he still walked steadily.

It's as if he's walked this road so many times that he can walk it smoothly without even looking at the road beneath his feet.

The mountain was seventy or eighty meters high, and the path up the mountain was not rugged. Feng led his two sons up the uneven mountain path, and soon they arrived at the cave with torches lit.

As the wind entered the cave, the long-eared rabbit-beastman on its back jumped down and nimbly unloaded the things off the wind. The long-eared rabbit-beastman on Chen's back also jumped down, and some tribesmen came over to help him remove the animal skins from his body. The little cub in his arms opened its big eyes and looked around curiously at everything.

Bai Ling found a place to transform into human form, and was then pulled to the fire by an old orc, who stuffed a piece of dry animal hide into his hand.

"Ling, hurry up and wipe it off."

"This is freshly cooked meat broth. After wiping yourself down, drink a bowl of meat broth and you'll feel better."

Bai Ling sat in front of the fire, took a sip of hot meat soup, and the chill in her body was mostly gone.

Some clansmen entered the cave from the outside, while others who were already in the cave transformed into beast forms and ran into the rain. His father, Feng, and his younger brother, Chen, also went down the mountain.
