Good luck with koi carp

"Ouch——"

"Awwww——"

The howls of wolves came one after another, bringing a terrifying feeling of fear in the dark night. However, none of the people hiding in a cave were afraid of it. Instead, they were vaguely looking forward to it.

"I hope Datz and the others can hunt prey." Someone whispered.

Chi Li, who had just regained consciousness and hadn't had time to understand the surrounding situation, said nothing and just listened silently.

She could feel that she was being held in the arms of someone. The person seemed to be wearing animal fur, and some parts felt a little furry, especially a long and slender thing with a tactile appearance, which was squirming. The ground gently patted her back, as if he was coaxing her gently.

As if he noticed that the person in his arms was awake, the person holding Chi Li reached over and touched her forehead, compared it with his own, and then said happily: "No fever anymore."

Hearing her words, the big hand that had always been like a bear's paw reached out from beside her. The hand was too big. When it fell on Chili's head, it didn't look like he was taking her temperature. Instead, it seemed like he was covering her whole little head under the big palm and holding her down. .

After a while, a rough voice sounded: "It's not hot anymore. God of Beasts bless her. Fortunately, Lili escaped the call of death."

Chili could tell that the language they spoke was not any language she had ever heard. Fortunately, the memory left by the original owner allowed her to understand the words of other orcs in the tribe.

That's right, Horde, Orcs.

Reminded by these two keywords, Chi Li finally knew where she had arrived.

This is a primitive world. Among the countless beings living in this uncivilized world, there is a special intelligent group - orcs.

No one knows how the orcs appeared, and this is not a question that the primitive orcs, who have not yet been able to establish a primary society and cannot even solve the most basic survival problems, should think about.

What everyone is pursuing now is very simple, to survive, not to die.

Therefore, the original owner, who also pursues simplicity, also made a very simple wish for Chili, to live. No, her wish must be a little more ambitious: to lead the tribe to survive!
Based on the memories left by the original owner, Chili learned that they were a small wandering group of orcs with a number of ten to twenty people. Since they had not been able to find a suitable place to settle, they were not even considered a tribe.

As for why the number of the original owner's memory group is so uncertain, one is that she can't count, and the other is because a small wandering group like them faces great pressure to survive. Everyone will be taken away by death for various reasons. .

Maybe it was a failed hunt, maybe he ate something poisonous by mistake, or like the original owner, he died from a minor illness.

Death is already normal for the orcs, but as long as there is still a slight possibility of survival, they will not succumb to the call of death.

Therefore, even when they learned that their companions had an inexplicable fever and were likely to die, no one abandoned the sick and weak individual. There was even an unrelated orc aunt who took the initiative to hold Chili in her arms, trying to use her own body temperature Help her maintain her temperature.

In the simple thoughts of the orcs, there is no awareness that they have to find ways to cool down when they are hot. They only know that their dead companion will slowly become cold, so they must keep her warm and not let her get cold. If it gets cold, it will die.

In addition, everyone knows that they should provide food to sick tribesmen. According to previous survival experience, as long as the sick tribesmen eat, they will gradually become stronger and escape the call of death.

In fact, the disease is cured.

Chili knew that in this primitive world where there was nothing, no one had any medical knowledge at all. They didn’t know how to deal with people who were sick, so they could only let her/him get through it by relying on their own immunity.

If you survive it, you will survive; if you don't survive it, you will naturally become cold.

Humans in the past relied on this kind of evolution from generation to generation and passed it down bit by bit. The current orcs are in this most primitive stage of evolution.

In fact, according to the theory of evolution described by human social scientists, humans have also transformed from animals. It is difficult to say whether they are orcs in another sense.

There are many kinds of orcs in this world, including lion orcs, tiger orcs, wolf orcs, snake orcs, eagle orcs, fish orcs, etc.

Almost everything that runs on the ground, flies in the sky, and swims in the water is included.

Regardless of whether these orcs eat meat or are vegetarians, unless they have grudges with each other like humans, orcs within the same group will generally not kill each other, but will help each other.

According to Chi Li, the orc group she is currently in includes all kinds of orcs. For example, the orc woman holding her is a female tiger orc, and the one who just touched her head The uncle is a male bear orc.

Orcs are just like wild beasts. There is no distinction between male and female, only male and female. In fact, they are all the same, just another way of saying it.

The original owner was an underage orc who had not yet awakened his beast form.

There is no specific age limit for beasts to reach adulthood. Everyone assumes that awakening the beast form is their own coming-of-age ceremony.

Young orcs are actually no different from ordinary human cubs. They are fragile, have no fur or scales to protect their bodies, and do not have the strong physique of awakened orcs. Therefore, generally young orcs are easy to die young and are the key protection targets of the group.

She and another little orc were the only two cubs in the original owner's group, which also explained why everyone took such good care of her when she fell ill.

Even in order to supplement her nutrition so that she could be strong enough to survive the illness, her father, a wolf orc, also led several other strong tribesmen in the team to go hunting, hoping to provide food for the tribe and their own cubs. Come to the food.

Therefore, the excited wolf howls outside were made by the original owner's father. Everyone was an orc, and they could judge each other's emotions and basic meanings from each other's roars.

The original owner and her father screamed so happily. Obviously, they had successfully hunted food, so everyone in the group became a little more active.

However, in the dark night, even if everyone was happy, they did not dare to make too much noise, because night is known to be the most dangerous time, and it would be bad if it caused any danger.

In addition to orcs, there are various other dangerous primitive beasts in this world, including things like mammoths and dinosaurs, which is why the life of orcs is so difficult.

Because they face not only the terrible natural environment, but also the threat of other predators.

Just like orcs hunt other animals for food, they are also the hunting targets of many predators, especially cubs like Chili who have not yet awakened their beast form.

In the memory of the original owner, there used to be more than just two cubs in their tribe. In fact, there were several cubs, but none of them survived. Most of them were picked up and eaten by wild beasts.

Even two cubs she had played with were eaten in front of her. Since the orcs had the word "beast" in their names, they naturally retained a considerable part of their animal nature.

For example, they have a strong desire to protect their cubs and will risk their lives to save their cubs when they are in danger. However, if they cannot save the cub and the cub is killed, they will no longer care about the dead cub, even if The predators ate the carcasses of the cubs right in front of them.

However, this is not necessarily the case.

Since the name of the species also contains a person, they naturally have feelings as advanced intelligent creatures. Some tribesmen who have deep feelings for their cubs cannot accept that their cubs are killed or eaten, and they will also act in revenge.

It can also be seen from here that orcs are creatures with complex behaviors like humans.

Chi Li analyzed the new races such as orcs in her heart. She had a certain understanding of them and was no longer unfamiliar with the current strange environment.

She moved a little in Madam Tiger's arms, trying to sit up on her own, but before she could break free from her arms, she saw several pairs of strange light bulbs suddenly appearing at the entrance of the cave.

After taking a closer look, I realized that they were actually a pair of animal eyes. It was only the moonlight that reflected the moonlight in the dark night that made them look so scary.

Along with the appearance of these beast eyes, there was also a strong smell of blood.

Chili's stomach growled in response, and one word flashed through her mind: food.

As if in response to her words, Uncle Xiong's rough voice sounded with joy: "Dats, are you back? Did you catch anything good?"

"It's a deer."

The orc known as Dartz also had high-spirited joy in his voice. Even though he was almost accidentally kicked in the fragile abdomen by the prey during this hunting, the final success was the best reward for them.

Moreover, with this deer, his people can fill their stomachs without having to endure hunger for at least three days.

Under the dim moonlight, Chi Li could vaguely see that the deer being dragged back outside was extremely huge, comparable in size to a sub-adult elephant. No wonder Datz could proudly say that this deer was enough for them to eat for three days.

The mouth of the cave where the tribesmen were hiding was not big, at least there was no way for the deer to come in, but Datz and the others would not give up on the prey they had finally hunted just because of this small problem.

So they simply dismembered the prey right outside the cave entrance.

No tools are needed, just their own beastly claws, which are the sharpest knives.

Under the skillful movements of several main hunting tribesmen, the prey was quickly cut into pieces of fresh meat, stuffed into the cave, and distributed to each tribesman.

Chili was no exception. Even because of her father's preference, she got the most tender and fatty piece of meat from the prey.

"Lili, please eat some meat quickly. After eating, you will have enough strength to get well."

A piece of meat that was bloody and even had a slight muscle twitching reaction came to me, and was asked to eat it raw, Chili...

He took it and took a bite.

She is not a real human being. When she was a fish, she often hunted other spiritual beasts ferociously for tooth sacrifices, so Chili was not opposed to eating raw food.

What's more, where is the memory of the original owner?

She knew that the current orcs had not yet developed into the age of fire, or that they did not even know what fire was. Naturally, they could not eat cooked food. If they caught prey, they would basically eat it raw like wild beasts. This also explains why Why is it dark in the cave at night? Because there is no lighting at all.

The beast form gave Datz powerful night vision, so he could see his cubs picking up meat and devouring it, and he suddenly felt happy.

In his simple mind, as long as the sick cub can eat, it will no longer be taken away by death.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

With food in her stomach, Chili could clearly feel that her weak body was being replenished and was slowly recovering.

It seems that even if the orcs in their early stages resemble ordinary humans, they are still orcs after all, and their physiques are still much stronger than those of ordinary humans.

It should be said that those who were not strong enough would have died long ago. The piece of meat that Datz tore for his cub was no more than a palm-sized piece. Seeing that she had finished eating, he tore off another piece for the cub. He also held a larger piece in his hand, paying attention to the cub's condition while eating.

The original owner's appetite was okay, but after eating a piece of meat as big as a palm, she wasn't that hungry anymore, so she ate the second piece of meat more slowly, and no one urged her because everyone was immersed in it. I'm busy working, and I don't have time to talk to others.

After everyone is full, the remaining meat is dug into a big pit and buried by the tribesmen. This is their most primitive storage method.

Other types of pickling and drying do not exist at all, and they have not yet developed to that point. Regarding this, Chi Li only feels that there is a long way to go.

According to the original owner's wish, if she wants to realize it, she must at least bring the people to the tribal stage. But now they are not only in the wandering stage, but they even have nothing. It is not that easy to develop into a tribe.

Especially when she is currently unable to use any spiritual power, the excessive power she used in the previous world still suffered backlash, so that in the new world, Chili was aggravated by the restrictions imposed by the world consciousness of this world. As a result, the power she can use is limited to the limit that the original owner's body can exert.

Don't even think about spiritual power or spells. If they could be used, Chi Li could just use the magic formula to turn into flames, and he wouldn't eat raw meat with everyone.

After eating, Datz led the other young and middle-aged tribesmen who did not go hunting to guard the entrance of the cave, while the others stayed inside to sleep.

From here we can see how responsible the clan leader is. Even though he is very tired after going out for a hunt, he still has to keep vigil for everyone in order to protect the safety of the clan members.

Of course, this vigil was not kept awake the whole time, which would have been too tiring, and he had to lead the tribe to move forward during the day, so Datz and the others just slept at the entrance of the cave. If they encountered any danger, at least they could use their own The body blocks in front of the tribesmen, or the source of danger is discovered at the first time, thereby issuing a warning, reminding the tribesmen to prepare to fight or run away quickly.

Chili was carried back into Madam Tiger's arms again. The cub had no fur to keep warm, so it could only rely on the embrace of the adult orc to maintain its temperature at night.

This time Chili didn't think about struggling out. She obediently slept in Madam Tiger's generous and warm arms.

When it was dark, Chi Li woke up.

She opened her eyes and looked around carefully before the clan members woke up.

It was too dark last night, and she didn't see clearly what the orcs looked like.

With the gradually brightening sunlight, Chi Li could see clearly the surrounding tribesmen for the first time.

Counting the number of orcs sleeping in the cave, including her, there were exactly twenty. Except for the little boy who was held in the arms of another adult orc, the others were all adult orcs who had awakened their beast form.

Most of their tribe are land orcs, and most of them prefer carnivores.

The general animal types include wolf, tiger, bear, cat, sheep and bird.

Those adult orcs who have awakened their animal form will more or less possess some animal form. For example, her father, the original owner, is a wolf orc with silver-gray wolf ears and a wolf tail.

This daily animal form is not fixed. The orcs will decide the degree of animal transformation according to their needs. If they are fighting, they will use the maximum degree of animal transformation, or even completely transform into the animal form, to enhance their combat effectiveness and fight. .

Therefore, the battles of orcs are often as ferocious as wild beasts.

Orcs with corresponding beast types will also receive the unique talents of that beast type. For example, wolf orcs have a keen sense of smell, bird orcs can fly, etc.

The orcs will breed with each other regardless of their animal form, resulting in the blood of many orc cubs being mixed with a lot of orc blood. Therefore, even if the original owner of Chi Li's body is a wolf orc, she may not be able to awaken the wolf in the future. animal form.

It can only be said that everything is random, but in comparison, the cub is still more likely to awaken the beast form of either parent. This is still a matter of probability.

The original owner's mother passed away when she was very young. It is said that she was attacked by a group of ferocious beasts. Many tribesmen died at that time, which was very tragic.

These are past events that the original owner's father occasionally mentioned, but he never told his daughter what beast form her mother was, so Chili was not sure what beast form she would awaken in the future.

But it doesn't matter. After all, the characteristics of orcs are destined to have strong adaptability to any environment. Even aquatic orcs can choose whether to live on land or in the water without any restrictions.

So even if Chili feels that she is affected by her soul, and there is a high probability that this body will awaken the fish and beast form, she is not worried about her future life.

While Chi Li was looking at the clan members, everyone began to wake up one after another.

After Chili, the first one to wake up was the youngest cub in the tribe. He was a little boy who looked to be only five or six years old. He had a round head, a little fleshy shape, and was quite cute.

The little guy's parents are still alive. His mother is a young bear orc, and his father is the only orc in the tribe who has awakened his bird form. It is said that his bird form is an eagle. I don't know what kind of eagle it is. , anyway, the other party has strong flying ability and is good at hunting some small prey alone. He also helps the group conduct high-altitude reconnaissance from time to time, so his status in the group is quite high, second only to the clan leader.

Last night he slept in his father's warm and comfortable big wings. Now when he fell asleep, he naturally ran over to play with another cub in the group.

"Sister Lili, let's play a hunting game."

The little guy happily jumped on Chi Li. According to the rules of the previous hunting games, Chi Li should duck away immediately and not be jumped on, otherwise he would be caught. But this time Chi Li didn't duck away, but hugged the little guy. The guy's body prevented him from moving around.

"Simon, I haven't recovered yet. I'll play with you again later."

Although Chili's illness has actually improved thanks to the strong physical fitness of the orcs, she still feels a little weak and doesn't want to play some intense games.

Fortunately, the cub named Simon was quite well-behaved. After hearing what Chi Li said, he stopped pestering her and ran to crawl on his mother's body. He also playfully bit her mother's round bear ears.

Being so annoyed by her cub, Simon's mother raised her paws to scratch his ears, then simply put him in her arms and continued to sleep.

Originally, the tribe needed to continue to follow the prey herds in order to survive. But last night, the tribe leader and others successfully hunted and brought enough food for everyone to eat for three days. Everyone became lazy and couldn't even be bothered to wake up in the morning. , continue to lazily lie on the ground and spend time leisurely.

Seeing this scene, Chili hesitated to speak, but then she thought of the reason why everyone was so lazy when there was enough food.

Because there is no good way to store food, everyone will not go on the next hunt until the food from the previous hunt is eaten.

Otherwise, the extra food will go bad in the end without being eaten, and they will waste their energy and increase the chance of injury, which is not worth the gain.

This is actually a kind of alternative species life knowledge.

Of course, when everyone is free, it doesn’t mean they are doing nothing.

Chi Li observed that some orcs in the tribe who were good at making clothes would peel off the fur of prey as completely as possible, remove the grease on it, take it to the river, wash it, and then dry it in the sun. A very primitive animal hide was created.

At this time, bone needles have appeared. The orcs will drill a small hole in the thicker end of the bone needle, and then use a very thin and flexible grass vine as a thread to sew the animal skin as needed, and then When worn on the body, it forms clothing.

Chi Li is currently wearing an animal skin skirt made of lion skin. Well, it has a vacuum inside. There is no such thing as underwear at this time.

As the clan leader's only surviving cub, Chili is very loved.

This is reflected in every aspect of her life in the community.

For example, the tribesmen take good care of her. Chili can allocate the best parts to her when eating. If there are extra animal skins in the tribe, they will be used on her first. Even the tiger lady who takes care of her will make some for her with animal bones. jewelry.

The bone necklace that Chi Li is currently wearing around her neck was made for her by Aunt Tiger, who is the only three orcs in the tribe who are good at making clothes and jewelry.

The male-to-female ratio in their group is a bit large. The female orcs are Chili, Tiger Aunt, Simon's Mother, and another older sheep orc, everyone calls her Grandma Kali.

It is said that Grandma Kali is the oldest orc in the tribe. Her long lifespan has given her rich knowledge of survival, so she is also quite respected in the tribe.

Except for the four female orcs, the rest of the group are all male orcs. Among them, there is only one cub, Simon, and the rest are young adults. The oldest is only a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties. The Bear Beast Man was the Uncle Bear who touched Chili’s head when she first arrived.

Chi Li learned from the memory of the original owner that it is difficult to see old male orcs in the orc group, especially in a wandering orc group like them. This is not because the orcs are currently tending to a matriarchal society, but because their physical fitness is better. Powerful male orcs shoulder most of the hunting responsibilities. In frequent fights with wild beasts, they have a higher chance of death or injury, especially those who are not strong enough.

Even for hunters who were extremely powerful when they were young, their body functions will gradually decline after reaching a certain age. If they continue to live at this time, not only will they not be able to provide much assistance in hunting, but they will also be a drag on the group. , so to a certain extent, death has become their best destination, and it is also a cruel elimination that allows the tribe to continue better.

Uncle Xiong is considered an old man among the male orcs, and the reason why he can live so long is entirely due to the fact that his animal type is a brown bear with high attack and high defense. Even as he grows older, he gradually loses his role in the hunting team. , but he can also stay behind the tribe to help protect the tribe and take care of the cubs, so he has not been abandoned by the tribe.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that their patriarch is a rare and benevolent patriarch.

The rule that Datz follows for his clan members is that as long as you can survive, no one will be given up. Therefore, their clan cohesion is very strong, which is one of the reasons why their small orc wandering clan has been able to survive.

"Lili, come here."

Hearing her old father's call, Chili walked over obediently: "Abba, what's the matter?"

Orc cubs call their parents "Abba" and "Mom", and some may call their parents by their first names, depending on their relationship with each other.

The original owner didn't actually get along with his father much on a daily basis, but this didn't affect the relationship between father and daughter. Besides, the reason why they didn't have time to get along was because Datz had to lead the tribe and was busy surviving, and he really didn't have time to spend time with his daughter. The original owner was You can understand this.

Because as the daughter of the clan leader, she has the first line of succession. As long as she can awaken a more powerful beast form in the future and have the ability to protect her clan members, her ascendancy is almost certain.

Before that, Chili, as a cub, still needs to learn from his father and other adults, learn how to lead the tribe to hunt, learn how to protect the tribe, learn how to judge whether there is danger in various environments, and learn how to find suitable ones. The place where the tribesmen temporarily lived...

She still has a lot to learn. Fortunately, her father is still strong enough to protect them for many years, so she doesn't have to worry about these future things so early.

Datz called his daughter over to take her out hunting.

There was only one day's worth of venison left in the last hunt, and it was almost time to hunt again. However, since there were still food reserves, today's hunt was not strictly required to be successful. Datz simply called his daughter and the tribe. Went together with two young orcs who had just grown up, just in time to learn hunting skills.

One of these two young orcs is the son of Madam Tiger. He has awakened in the tiger-shaped beast form. He is very aggressive, but he lacks combat experience and is still a bit frizzy.

In response to this, his father, Uncle Xiong, just laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, just let this kid participate in a few more hunts and polish it a few more times."

Fighting is the best thing that can make people grow, and if he can't grow in fighting, it will be difficult for him to survive in the future, and it doesn't matter whether his fighting skills are great or not.

It's cruel, but this is the normal life of orcs. (End of chapter)
