Good luck with koi carp

The orcs who have just switched from eating raw food to eating cooked food do not feel tired of eating barbecue every day. They are even looking forward to eating delicious barbecue every day, because it means that their stomachs will be full every day and they do not need to endure it. The taste of hunger.

The hunting ability of the Datz tribe can be regarded as one of the best among all orc tribes of the same size. However, even so, they occasionally fail to hunt, resulting in the tribe having to starve.

These days, everyone’s wishes are actually quite simple.

As long as you can have a full meal.

Therefore, when food and clothing are not even guaranteed, no one will naturally dislike the taste of a single food cooking method after eating it for a long time. Only Chili, a guy who has experienced a more developed and civilized society, has the time to think about it. These things.

Chili has very strong mobility.

Whether she wants to tame wild horses for use as mounts and transportation, or improve existing cooking methods, she is working hard to make them a reality.

To tame a wild horse, it is almost impossible to capture an adult wild horse. It’s not that you can’t catch it, but it’s difficult to tame it even if you catch it. Maybe it’s because it’s the orc world, and every species living in this world is quite different. They are wild, even the orcs who are very similar to humans are the same.

If Chili and the others really try to tame an adult wild horse, it is very likely that the horse will not be tamed successfully, but will be aroused and do something irreversible in anger.

In this way, the investment is not proportional to the income, and the gain outweighs the loss.

It would be better to be more patient and tame a few young wild horses from an early age, which would have a better chance of success.

"Didn't you say you want to catch the pony? How did you get these two stupid young men?"

In order to capture the cubs, the Datz tribe sent out almost all the best hunters in their tribe, leaving only Datz, the leader of the tribe, and two other adult orcs to protect the cubs in the tribe.

The leader this time is Chili. Even though Chili has not yet differentiated and is considered a cub, the various abilities she has shown in the past have made the tribe no longer treat her as a child, but gradually treat her as a member of the tribe. The next clan leader, so everyone was not dissatisfied with Chi Li's leadership in arresting Ma Zaizi, and they actively cooperated.

Watching her daughter leading the clan members away, they climbed to the middle of the sun from early morning to facing the scorching sunlight. They were the clan members who were carrying an antelope on their shoulders and holding two sub-adult wild horses in their hands, smiling and returning home with a full load.

Datz was a little surprised. As he hurried forward to meet them, he looked at the two sub-adult wild horses that were tightly tied by ropes and seemed to be unexpectedly obedient.

This size... Although they are a bit thin, they probably don't live particularly well in their own group. It may be caused by losing the care of their adult bodies. Fortunately, they are still growing. They will be given more food to take care of themselves. If raised, it is still possible to grow to be as strong as a normal adult wild horse.

Although he had never raised livestock, the rich experience accumulated from hunting for many years allowed Datz to see the problems in the two sub-adult wild horses at a glance and provide an accurate feeding plan.

"Originally, we wanted to catch the wild horse cubs, but later we found that the wild horse cubs were surrounded by adult wild horses, so it was not easy to catch. It happened that these two sub-adult wild horses had lost the care of the adult wild horses. Even if they disappeared from the group, they would not care. So we changed the target and captured them," Chi Li explained to her father.

In fact, there is also a cost-effective consideration in catching sub-adult wild horses.

The so-called sub-adults refer to animals that are about to reach adulthood but are not yet adults and are in their teenage years.

Animals at this stage have initially acquired the size of adults, but are not yet mature enough. Not only are they easier to tame than adults, but they also have physical advantages that cubs do not have.

Just as Datz thought from the bottom of his heart, these two sub-adult wild horses only need to be raised and strengthened, and they can be directly used as means of transportation or transportation, which is quite cost-effective.

For most juvenile wild animals, only their immediate family, that is, their parents, care about their safety.

This is the reason why young animals with parents are difficult to catch. As long as the cubs are still alive, their parents will not give up on them. Generally, the best way for predators at this time is to kill the cubs completely, so that even if No matter how sad their parents are, they will never look for trouble from predators again.

However, Chili and the others wanted to catch him alive this time, which would inevitably cause the parents of the young wild horse to pursue him.

So they had no choice but to change the capture target. As for the target, the condition was actually much better than that of the cub, which was a surprise.

It was also Chili who didn't think carefully at first. If she thought more about it and directly targeted those sub-adults and young wild horses who had lost their parents, she wouldn't have to go through the previous experience of pulling other people's cubs while being beaten by them. It was embarrassing that my parents were running around in embarrassment after the chase.

"What happened to that sheep?" After asking about the wild horse, Datz turned his attention to the antelope that had been dealt with by the tribe.

"The lone antelope I met on the way was as good as I thought I'd meet."

You can't let go of the prey that comes to you for free, right?

"Just in time, let's try a new way to eat it tonight." Chi Li muttered, running to take out the things he had just found today after killing him last night.

Datz saw that his daughter was struggling to move alone, so he walked over to help her move.

"What is this?" he asked.

"Stone." Chi Li replied.

"I know it's a stone, but I'm asking you what's the use of such a stone?" Datz lowered his head and looked at the strange-shaped stone.

This is a stone as big as his two heads. It is very hard and has a semicircular shape with a sunken pit in the middle. It looks like a very large stone bowl.

Datz didn't quite understand the purpose of his daughter's stone bowl.

"Cook something to eat." Since Chili decided to come up with some new cooking methods, she naturally wouldn't do nothing.

After she found this natural stone pot that she liked, she also built a stone stove near the tribe's camp. At this time, the stone pot was placed on it just right, and the hollow part at the bottom could be filled with firewood. Used to make fire for heating.

After setting up the stone pot, Chili didn't use it immediately. She first ran to fetch clean water from a nearby river with a ladle, cleaned the groove in the middle of the stone pot, and then poured fresh water into it again, and then ran away. The tribesman who was handling the sheep asked: "Is it done?"

"All right."

The tribesman handed the prepared lamb leg and mutton tail to Chili. Chili took the pile of meat to the river to wash it and put it into a stone pot to cook. At the same time, he added wild onions to remove the fishy smell and increase the aroma.

Both water scoops and wild onions were found by her when she was wandering and migrating with her tribe. The former was made from an old gourd cut in half, and some gourds were used as kettles by the people of the Dats tribe.

Under the leadership of the clan leader's daughter, they discovered that this thing was surprisingly convenient and easy to use, and the fresh gourds could be eaten, so the clan members picked a lot of them.

The wild onions in this world looked exactly like the onions in other worlds, so Chili could recognize them at a glance. She almost plucked out all the wild onions in the bush and harvested a lot of garlic.

In addition to being used as ingredients for cooking, wild onions and garlic are also considered a type of medicine and can be used as medicinal materials. Therefore, Chili basically picks as many as they find. At present, it is only for fear of not having enough, so I don’t dislike it too much. A lot of servings.

It's a pity that she only found wild onions and garlic now, otherwise it would be better to add some pepper and other spices to make the mutton soup delicious.

The current conditions are limited, so we can only make do with it.

It takes a lot of time to cook the mutton soup. After starting the fire, Chili left it alone and turned around to help Uncle Xiong weave a bag with straw rope.

With wild horses as transportation tools, they needed to weave some double-sided bags that could be slung on the horse's back so that they could easily load things.

The two sub-adult wild horses have been moved there by Datz himself for training. It is hoped that Datz's training will be effective before the tribesmen set off for the next journey.

Chi Li only had the concept of "taming wild animals into domestic animals", but if she was really asked to come up with a domestication plan, she couldn't figure it out. Therefore, this domestication road was destined to be explored from scratch. There is a slight shortcut.

Fortunately, she was lucky. The two sub-adult wild horses she captured were both docile and obedient, so Datz's first domestication was somewhat effective.

This pot of mutton soup took nearly three hours to simmer. Chili also added some side dishes such as radishes in the middle. By the time the soup was ready, the surroundings were already filled with people waiting for it to be served.

Maybe the mutton soup was too fragrant, or maybe they were curious about food they had never eaten before. Everyone focused their attention here, but turned a blind eye to the roasted mutton next to it.

No, it’s not turning a blind eye either.

The main reason is that the roasted mutton cooks quickly. Everyone has already eaten one round and is now waiting for the mutton soup to finish it off.

Chili didn't keep everyone waiting for too long. As soon as the mutton soup was ready to drink, she directly picked up the bamboo bowl and filled a bowl for everyone, letting them drink the soup from their own bowls.

This soup still has an indelible mutton smell when drinking it in Chili, but it is still within the acceptable range, and it is indeed a rare and novel delicacy for the inexperienced tribesmen. Of course, there are also The two tribesmen couldn't stand the taste of the butt, but in line with the principle of not wasting food, in the end everyone drank all the mutton soup that was assigned to them.

There is not much in a pot of mutton soup. After all, the pot is only so big, so there is not a lot in it. Everyone in the Daci tribe shared some, and then they all ate it up. After eating and drinking, The tribesmen each found a place to sit or lie down to rest. No matter what they were doing, they all tacitly agreed not to be too far away from the fire.
Ever since they learned that flames can drive away wild beasts, the existence of fire has become one of the sources of safety for the tribesmen. Only by resting by the fire can they sleep more soundly.

Of course, for safety reasons, Chi Li will lead the tribe to use stones and wood collected to encircle a safe area next to the fire, and order everyone not to cross, lest they cause fire and burn themselves.

This is really a fire hazard.

Even if some people didn't take it seriously at first, after being burned by the scorching flames, the tribesmen who learned the lesson and saw others being taught learned the lesson and began to have the concept of fire safety.

Chi Li was covered with soft and warm animal skins, covered with a bird feather cloak, and lay sleeping peacefully under the starry sky.

It's hot during the day, but a little cool at night. It's the season when you need to cover yourself with a quilt.

The number of bird feather cloaks in the group is not enough for each person to have one, but as a cub, Chili still received special treatment and was assigned a cloak first.

As long as the beast form has not been awakened and the fragile body is not protected by hair or scales, the cub is just a cub. No matter how powerful the cub is, even strong enough to knock down a strong adult orc head-on, she also He was still a cub, and in the eyes of the adults, he was an existence that needed to be cared for by the collective.

rustling...

In the dark night, there seems to be something hiding and peeping in the corner where the firelight cannot shine.

Chi Li, who was sleeping soundly, opened her eyes instantly and met her father's gaze, who was also alert and awakened.

"Beast?" She kept her voice as low as possible.

"It's an orc." Datz, who had more experience in fighting enemies, rejected his daughter's guess and gave the correct answer.

After coming to this world, Chili has not experienced conflicts with other orc groups. The orc groups she met before are considered friendly, and the orcs are infinitely close to beasts to a certain extent, so she temporarily It’s normal to admit your mistakes.

There was no time to feel emotional about her error in judgment. Chili quickly moved to Aunt Tiger's side quietly and helped her protect Little Bunni under the signal from her father's eyes.

As a mother, Mrs. Tiger had already woken up when Chi Li approached her. She knew who the owner of the scent that was approaching her in the dark was, and she was even more aware of the dangers lurking around her. At this time, she was nervously and vigilantly holding the child in her arms. , the eyes revealed the ferocity of a female animal protecting her cubs.

Although Chili has not personally experienced conflicts between orcs and orcs, she understands the origin of these conflicts.

The interests, to put it concretely, are females, food and cubs.

The former two are the most important targets for plunder when a conflict breaks out among the orcs, while the latter is the target that must be killed.

It's very cruel. When a conflict breaks out among orc groups, the most common thing they do is to kill the cubs of the other group. The reason for doing this is not only to severely damage the opponent's new generation and eradicate the roots, but also to let the plundered ones go. Females of gestational age are able to come into heat again and give birth to offspring again.

Just as a male lion will kill the children of the previous lion king after occupying a new territory, this behavior of killing young in order to reproduce their own offspring is also common among orcs.

As a non-purebred person from this world, Chili cannot say whether this behavior is right or wrong, but she understands that once she encounters such a conflict, she must fight to the death to protect her family group.

The Datse tribe did not act rashly after being prompted quietly by their clan leader.

They maintained a seemingly defenseless sleeping position, quietly waiting for the intruder to appear, but in an invisible corner, everyone, including Simon, who was also a cub, had already held them tightly. respective weapons.

What came to invade was a larger group of wandering orcs than the Datz group. If the Datz group could only be regarded as a small and medium-sized group among the wandering orcs, the number of more than fifty people on the other side could already be called a large group. .

Even though not all of these fifty people are combatants, compared to the Datz tribe, which has less than twenty people, they are still in a completely advantageous position.

When the strength of the two sides is seriously unequal, and the weaker side seems to have a lot of food, it becomes a matter of course for the stronger side to want to plunder.

In order to be able to win with one blow, they dispatched almost all the clansmen in the clan who could fight, leaving only a few old, weak and sick people to guard the clan station.

After calculation, the total number of people who can be dispatched is thirty-two, which is a dozen more than the total number of people in that small group. But even with such a huge advantage, their cautious leader still deliberately selected To carry out a surprise attack when the enemy is most relaxed.

"Clan leader, do you want to come in?"

After waiting for a long time, a dog-shaped orc who could no longer hold himself back turned his head and asked the head of their family.

The leader of this large group is a fox in his animal form. He has perfectly inherited the nature of a fox. Although he wanted to continue to wait and see, the other party's bulging packages and the smell of food were too tempting to the orcs, so in the end he didn't. Being able to continue waiting, he directly raised his hand and made a gesture, signaling the clansmen to attack.

After receiving the order, the orcs who had been waiting for a long time immediately rushed out impatiently. They lowered their bodies, slowed down their steps, and quickly rushed to the Datz group station, heading straight for the sleeping orcs on the ground.

The fastest runner was the dog-shaped orc, and his chosen target was the sheep orc who seemed to be the weakest among the Datz tribe.

As a result, as soon as he got close and his excited canine teeth were exposed, a sharp bone knife cut through the night and stabbed fiercely on one of his hind legs. At the same time, the sheep-orc who thought he was in a deep sleep appeared agile. He turned over and jumped on the spot. He raised his powerful sheep's hooves and kicked the dog-shaped orc's fragile abdomen. The force was so great that it actually kicked him away.

The dog-shaped orc who was thrown far away let out a whimper like an injured puppy. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the sheep orc who had just seriously injured him had used his natural superb agility to turn around and take an escape stance, leaving his tribe behind. Run away.

Before leaving, I also took away a package with unknown contents.

This scene looks like when the sheep orcs are in danger, they directly steal supplies and escape regardless of the safety of the tribe, but in fact this is the strategy given to the tribe by Datz.

The enemy was too powerful, and the smart Datz understood that if they met head-on, their tribe would have no chance of winning, and would only end up being invaded and plundered. What awaited them then would be death and despair that would be worse than life.

So the only thing they can do is run away and try their best to escape. As long as they run fast and far enough, they still have a chance to survive.

But there are tricks to escaping.

If you jump up and run around after discovering danger, you will definitely be chased by enemies lurking not far away.

When the enemies are all strong hunters, and we still have cubs and old orcs to take care of, the Datz tribe is likely to be overtaken before they can run far, and in the end they will end up being killed or plundered. .

So Datz thought of a trick. He first asked the tribesmen to continue to pretend to be asleep, and then waited for the enemy to get close and then inflicted heavy injuries on them unexpectedly. It was best to hurt the enemy's legs and affect their ability to move, and then try his best to escape. .

In this way, when one party is healthy and the other party is injured and has limited movement, the Datse tribe can try their best to win a life for themselves.

As it turns out, Datz's ploy worked.

Unprepared, the enemy orcs did suffer large or small injuries. Even if they reacted and wanted to fight back after being injured, the orcs of the Dats tribe who had no intention of fighting with the enemy had already wiped the soles of their feet. He left, so angry that the enemy orcs almost exploded on the spot.

Angry beast roars mixed with wailings echoed through the night sky.

On Chili's side, when the chaos first started, she hugged Simon, then took the little Bunnie that Mrs. Tiger quickly handed over, and jumped into the arms of Simon's father, who had turned into a beast.

Simon's father spread his wings, with three cubs hanging on his body, soared into the sky and flew straight into the distance.

Due to the heavy load, Simon's father's flying speed is affected to a certain extent. Fortunately, the enemy does not have flying orcs, so even if their cubs running in a group are quite conspicuous, all the opponent can do is to throw everything away. Throwing objects that can be used for throwing, trying to knock them down from high altitudes,

But he didn't know whether it was because the enemy's accuracy was bad, or whether Chili and the others were lucky. The various things flying in the sky were just tracing various human bodies and did not really hit them.

There was even one stone that was aimed most accurately, but just when it was about to hit Simon's father's wing, another wooden stick that was thrown crooked happened to hit the stone, changing its trajectory and making it collide with the wooden stick. Both sticks fell to the ground unwillingly, allowing Simon's father to take all the cubs of the entire Datz tribe away safely.

Maybe what happened just now was too exciting. The cold wind from high altitude blew on her body, but Chi Li felt a boiling heat in her body.

Feeling that the two little ones in her arms were clinging to her in fear, she hugged them tightly and whispered: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's okay. We are safe."

This feeling of not being able to resist and having to run away is actually quite frustrating, but Chili understands better that there is nothing more important than living. If the green hills are left, there will be no need to worry about running out of firewood. As long as they are still alive, they will definitely be able to do it in the future. Give back today's frustration.

The tribesmen fled in all directions. It was too dark at night. Even with excellent night vision, Chili could not see other tribesmen.

Father Simon flew with them for a long time, and when they stopped, the sky was already slightly bright. (End of chapter)
