Good luck with koi carp

Chapter 238 Awakening of Beast Form
While waiting for departure, Chili studied the horns on her head.

Yes, this is a genuine dragon horn, but the problem is that the dragon has no horns. Generally, only after the dragon has succeeded in cultivation and survived the test of the catastrophe, after the dragon transforms into a dragon, the dragon will grow dragon horns and an extra one. On the back paws, there are hairs on the tail, turning into a complete dragon look.

The problem is that most dragons have a pair of horns when they have horns. There is no one like Chili who only has one horn. Isn't this a unicorn dragon?

After all, she has been practicing for many years, and in order to help her practice, her first owner found a lot of things related to real dragons for her, among which the knowledge related to dragons is even more essential. Therefore, Chili combined with her body changes, or Able to analyze one or two things.

As I said a long time ago, Chi Li majored in the path of merit and did not take the path of fish leaping over the dragon gate, but the irresistible koi and the real dragon are somewhat related in a sense, and she got a lot of it in the later period. The opportunity related to dragons, especially in the magical world, even if she was raised by a Western dragon, the dragon blood and tears that Chili was fed were all real.

Perhaps it was this kind of quantitative change that led to qualitative change, so that she had the tendency to transform into a dragon. However, Chi Li was not a major in dragon transformation, and she had not deliberately collected various dragon-related resources before. As a result, although there was a qualitative change, it was not enough. Therefore, this body failed to awaken the dragon beast form and transformed into a dragon instead. Only the single dragon horn left on her head showed that she once had the opportunity to transform into a dragon.

To be honest, Chili was not disappointed by this.

After all, she was not originally going to take this path. If she really turned into a real dragon, she would have a headache.

It is impossible to change the path that has been cultivated for many years. Although the dragon is also an auspicious beast, how can it be more consistent with the path of merit than her koi prototype?

Fortunately, Chili checked herself and found that the beast form awakened in this body did not affect her soul very much. She was still a cute little koi that could bring good luck to herself and others.

Otherwise, Chili would really vomit to death.

You should be careful in the future and avoid contact with things related to real dragons.

Chi Li, who patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, heard a burst of hearty laughter from far away before she could sigh out.

Everyone subconsciously looked for a voice and saw a familiar tall and wildly beautiful figure walking over with a group of people. Following her was the lion boy who left in a hurry yesterday.

The young lion boy who returned successfully from his mission didn't even want to waste any time. As soon as he returned to the Datz tribe, he ran to the tiger lady and cared for them tenderly.

Everyone responded with a kind smile. A young man who becomes a father for the first time is always nervous.

Seeing how concerned her father was about the child, Mrs. Tiger simply put little Bunnie in his arms. The young lion expertly hugged her daughter and rocked her gently, coaxing the child to sleep more soundly.

There is a scene of tenderness and affection here, and the scene is no less generous in other places.

When the lion group got pregnant with three females, the Dats group divided three males to take care of their partners and children. After careful calculation, they have not returned to their own family group for almost a year. In the Dats group, Everyone has their own relatives and friends, so it is a rare opportunity to meet again at this time, so naturally it is inevitable to get together to chat about each other's current situation.

When the lion group approached, Chili quickly took a look at the three orcs with cubs who were surrounded by focus. The leader of the lion group was not pregnant at first, but the three older ones in their group were pregnant. Female orcs, two of them are lion orcs and one is a tiger orc.

It can be seen from this that the last time the lion group deliberately let these three tribesmen with more experience in raising cubs conceive the cubs first.

Other young female tribesmen probably still need to watch and learn. It is best to see how the seniors successfully raised a litter of cubs, and then raise their own cubs after gaining experience. This way the success rate will be higher.

This is also a deliberate arrangement by the lion leader. The next generation is the foundation for the long-term existence of a group. However, the lion group has not been able to successfully raise even one cub in the past ten years. This will undoubtedly cause the tribesmen to worry about the future. .

If they continue like this and are unable to feed their cubs, their tribe will one day be completely destroyed.

Therefore, there was a lot of pressure on the shoulders of the lion leader, forcing her to make the most appropriate arrangements.

Fortunately, so far, the three new cubs born in their tribe are still alive, but one of them...

There was a bit of sadness in her eyes unconsciously, but when the lion leader faced Datz, she still showed the attitude that a clan leader should have. After meeting the leader of the other party, she asked straight to the point: "Chief Datz, you promised Is it true that we will be given ten tons of food in exchange for our two tribes to work together to survive this winter?”

When the lion boy came back and told her this, the lion leader was still a little unbelievable. It felt like it was fake. Food is so precious. Who would casually take out ten tons of food in exchange for a chance to cooperate?

What is the concept of ten tons of food?

This translates into 20,000 kilograms of meat. Based on the average adult orcs of their tribe eating sixty kilograms of meat per day, 20,000 kilograms of meat is enough for nineteen adult orcs in the entire lion tribe to eat for more than half a month.

Don't underestimate these more than half a month. This is calculated based on the amount of food you can eat every day. If you only maintain the most basic vital signs, these foods can last longer, at least allowing the lion group to go out to hunt. You can live for two months.

It's no wonder that when the lion leader heard the news, he felt it was untrue, but he still couldn't resist the temptation and led his tribe members to come and take a look in person.

The newborn cubs of both sides are related by blood, and as long as the other party has not completely lost their mind, they will not deliberately harm them, so this is why the lion leader dared to come and accept the invitation.

It turned out to be a stroke of luck, and she made the right bet!

Just looking at the pile of meat on the ground like a hill, the lion leader lost control of his expression on the spot and showed a smile as bright as a flower.

She thought she understood. The Datz tribe had hit a big guy this time, but they couldn't swallow it all by themselves, so they were called in to help.

It's not like this has never happened before.

A certain group of people hunted a big prey, but their own group had a limited number of people and a limited appetite. There was no way to eat all the food before it spoiled. They could only throw it away and save the scavenging animals, or simply eat it. Invite other ethnic groups with whom you have good relations to share food.

The current posture of the Dats group is to share food with the lion group, but obviously, this sharing is not free and requires the lion leader to pay some price.

"Clesa, it's nice to see you again."

Datz did not answer the lion leader's question, but just greeted her with a smile. The two exchanged greetings, and then walked to a corner where no one could see them and had a friendly and cordial conversation.

"Is it all that we need to cooperate with you to survive this winter and obey your orders?" Kelisa thought about the conditions offered by Datz.

Datz obviously wants to gain temporary control over the two ethnic groups. This is understandable to Cleissa. If the positions are reversed, she will not only attract allies but also want to gain the highest power among the two ethnic groups. It is not that she is greedy for power. Rather, there can only be one representative voice in a group, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.

Ten tons of meat is really a lot. If you can really exchange one winter's "obedience" for so much food, it's not impossible.

And Datz is an excellent clan leader, he will not lead the two clans into crisis.

This all seems good, but as the leader of a clan, Kelisa is not a fool.

She could tell that Datz's real purpose was far more than the superficial conditions, but she couldn't figure it out for a while. The point was that ten tons of meat tasted really good, so she couldn't help but agree. .

At worst, if the other party made unreasonable demands, she would be disobedient. Anyway, as long as ten tons of meat entered their stomachs, couldn't Datz still make them vomit it out?

"Happy cooperation." Datz smiled and extended his hand to Kleisa. He learned this handshake etiquette from his daughter.

Cleissa was stunned for a moment before she understood what Datz meant. She stretched out her hand and shook it: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."

What a novel etiquette, she thought.

"Okay, we have to move quickly. We have to transport the meat to the snowy mountains and freeze it before it spoils."

Now that cooperation has been negotiated, it's naturally time to get to work.

Dartz called to Kelisa and asked her to lead her tribe and her fellow tribesmen to allocate tasks according to each orc's beast-shaped load-bearing capacity. They must be able to move all the meat in just one trip. over.

Chili's animal form is very powerful and her strength is very strong. She alone can move two tons of meat. If she hadn't just awakened, Datz would be afraid that her daughter would be crushed by too many things. In fact, Chili It can also bear more weight.

Including the pickled meat, the total weight of all meat is more than 60 tons and close to 70 tons. Evenly distributed to each adult orc is about one ton, but in fact not everyone has to carry that much.

Because there are several bear orcs in the Datz tribe, the bear orcs are naturally thick-skinned and strong. In their beast form, they can carry more than three tons of things, which helps relieve a lot of burdens on other tribesmen.

The two horses were not stuffed with meat. Sub-adult wild horses had limited load-bearing capacity, and besides food, they also had to carry a lot of other supplies. After all, they would never come back after leaving, so Chi Li simply packed the other horses with them. All the bits and pieces were put in the mesh bag on the horse's back. To avoid things falling out of the mesh, she put a layer of animal skin inside before putting anything in it.

With the most reasonable distribution, everyone shouldered their own heavy burden, but no one felt it was hard. Even just thinking about carrying so much food on his back made him want to step on a hot wheel and run fast. , for fear that if you wait a little longer, the meat will spoil.

Simon's father had already explored the location of the snow mountain last night. He even found a suitable place to store food for the winter on the snow mountain. At this time, he was carrying a load of meat on his back, one on the left and one on the right in front of him. Carrying two children, Simon and Little Bunnie, flying high in the sky to guide the tribe.

The cubs of the lion group are carried by their respective mothers. The two groups have just begun to cooperate, and there is no trust at the moment. It is even less likely that the two cubs will be easily handed over to Simon's father like the Datz group, with such high in the sky.

Although they knew that the other party had taken safety measures and tied the two children tightly to themselves with ropes, as mothers, they were still a little frightened by the scene, for fear that the cubs would accidentally fall from a high altitude.

In other words, the orcs of the Dats tribe are all big-hearted. Even the mother of the two children did not react much to this scene, and they looked as if they were used to it.

Chili transformed into a dragon and swam quickly on the ground. To be honest, after being an aquatic creature for a long time, she felt a little unaccustomed to being an amphibious creature.

Fortunately, her adaptability was quite good, and she quickly mastered the skill of the dragon swimming on land. She only had to swing her body like a snake. Although her posture was a bit too twisted, her speed was surprisingly fast.

The location of the snow mountain is indeed not far from the temporary residence of the Dats tribe. In other words, they are at the foot of the mountain, so all they need to do now is to carry weight and climb to the top of the mountain.

The mountains these days are not like the ones in the future where roads have been trampled on, or steps have been trimmed. Climbing up from the foot of the mountain is really like climbing the most primitive mountain. Without any protection measures, you can only climb hard. climb.

Fortunately, although this climb is high, it is not rugged. It is just a bit tiring to climb up, so it is not difficult.

About three or four hours had passed. As the altitude increased, Chili could clearly feel that the surrounding temperature was gradually decreasing. There were sporadic frosts on the road under his feet, and his eyes gradually became pure white. It seemed that they had entered a high mountain. Icefield area.

The beasts of the orcs all have thick fur or hard scales and are highly resistant to the environment, but in this sky full of ice and snow, Chili still felt a chill that penetrated into his bones.

It seems that even with the body of a dragon, he is afraid of the cold.

Another point is that Chi Li noticed that his eyes were automatically covered with a layer of white film after entering the snow. His visibility was not greatly affected, but his ability to perceive light became much weaker.

To describe it specifically, it's like wearing a pair of goggles.

She understood why there was no such thing as snow blindness in the orc world. It turned out that the orcs also had some self-protection mechanisms against the ice and snow environment.

He turned around and looked at the other people around him. Not to mention the two eldest brothers whose animal forms were polar bears. These two guys were currently in a state of fun returning to their hometown. They were still engaging in childish chases in the snow and howling excitedly. , if they were not afraid of losing the things on their backs, they would have been scolded by Datz if they ran with restraint.

Although the other human and animal forms are different, they don't seem to have much reaction to the ultraviolet light refracted by the white snow. They don't even have eyes that are automatically covered with white film like Chili. There are also orcs who just open their eyes and look around with unchanged eyes. It seemed that he was not affected in the slightest, which confirmed Chi Li's guess.

A loud hawk sounded from the sky, seeming to urge the tribesmen to follow him.

Everyone stopped playing around, quickened their pace and followed the guidance of the small black dot in the sky, arriving at the entrance of a cave near the middle of the ice sheet.

Chili feels that the current temperature is minus 20 degrees, which is more than enough to freeze meat. They just want to find a large natural refrigerator. As long as the temperature is enough, there is no need to go too deep into the ice sheet.

We don't know what dangers are hidden there, so it's obviously not a wise move to step in hastily.

This cave had been explored by Simon's father in advance, and everyone had a rough idea of ​​what was going on inside. Even though the entrance to the cave was not big, the space inside was actually very wide, and it could accommodate a total of more than twenty people from the two groups. .

The entire cave has a 'down' shape inside, and the T-shaped part is made of hard rock walls. Only the "丶" is probably the coldest part of the entire cave. The surface of the rock wall inside is covered with layers of frost. It forms a natural cold storage, which is best used to store food.

It was because of this natural icehouse that Simon's father chose this place as the winter location for the two ethnic groups.

Yes, the Datz tribe and the lion tribe are preparing to spend this winter in this ice cave. The reason is very simple. Wherever the food is, they will follow it.

Coldness is not an insurmountable difficulty for the orcs, hunger is, so for every orc, they would rather suffer a little cold than go hungry.

The meat had been packaged in advance, and he could just put it in the big freezer to dry when he got there. Chi Li removed all the weight from his body and easily transformed back into the beast-like state. Then he felt a cold wind blowing from his body. The blow from outside the cave entrance hit her, making her shiver with cold.

Just after shaking off, he was covered with a warm bird feather cloak. When he looked up, he saw the figure of the old father seriously instructing everyone to arrange the meat neatly.

Reaching out to close the collar of her cloak, Chili heard someone calling her. She turned around and saw that it was Simon's mother. The brown bear mother, who had not turned back into an orc, waved to her gently, motioning for her to come over.

In her arms, little Simon has occupied one side, and the empty space on the other side is obviously reserved for her.

Chi Li hurriedly trotted all the way to Simon's mother, and was then hugged into the arms of the thick brown bear mother. It was warm and comfortable.

She whispered: "Sister Shasha, I am an adult."

Sasha is the name of Simon's mother. When she was still a young girl, Sasha did not allow the cubs in the tribe to call her aunt, so everyone except Simon called her sister.

Sasha's thick bear paw snorted Chili's little head, and said with a smile: "The little guy who has just grown up also needs to be taken care of by adults."

There is nothing wrong with this. Although orcs are generally considered adults after awakening their beast form, physical adulthood does not mean that the mental age of young orcs has also matured. Therefore, they must still learn from their elders for a while before they can gradually become independent.

The elders also have to adapt to the fact that the cub is no longer a cub, but an adult orc who can talk to them on an equal footing.

This process usually lasts two to three years, depending on the young orc's own growth rate.

"Hey, Lili, do you want us to go explore our new home together?"

Keith suddenly came over, put a silly wolf face like a husky in front of Chili, and asked her excitedly.

Behind him stood two young men who had returned to orc form.

They both have ears similar to those of cats, and each has a long cat tail swinging behind him, but one of them is a tiger and the other is a cat, so there is a big difference.

The tiger orc is called Vic, and the cat orc is called Felt.

Among them, Keith and Vic were the same age. They were the young couple who had grown up shortly before Chili. Felt was older, three years older than Keith and the others.

Felt also has a twin brother named Faith who is also a cat-orc. Both brothers are the children of Aunt Tiger and a cat-orc from another tribe. They are little Bunnie's half-brothers.

The brothers are also the only two orcs in the Datz tribe who have awakened the cat form.

As the younger brother, Felt is more playful and likes to hang out with Keith and Vic. Now that Chili is an adult, these three guys unilaterally think that Chili is old enough to join their small group, so they run away. Come and extend an invitation to her.

In this regard, Chili's choice was to refuse without hesitation.

She didn't want to leave Sister Shasha's warm embrace.

"Okay, let's go by ourselves." Case and the others were in a good mood, and they were not angry even after being rejected. They happily ran around the cave and explored around.

"What's there to see?" Simon said these old-fashioned words. When Chi Li looked over, he replied confidently: "The place dad is looking for must be safe."

This is true.

Chili looked away.

Simon's father is a very careful and cautious person. If he didn't really confirm the safety of this place, he wouldn't have been able to lead his tribe here. And since they are here, it means there is not much danger here.

Even if there were some before, they must have been cleaned up.

Except for the '丶', the remaining area in the cave is T-shaped. The single passage at the bottom is the entrance. Going deeper into the intersection and reaching the intersection, there are two symmetrical stone chambers. Although the spaces inside are not the same, they are still the same. How much, and it is very spacious, at least enough to house an entire tribe of orcs.

Since the conditions of the stone chambers on both sides are similar, the Dats tribe and the lion tribe can choose the one they like to stay in, and the area in the middle can be used as a public place.

Obviously, both Datz and Cleissa thought so. Cleissa was concerned that their tribe did not occupy the dominant position, so she gave in and chose the smaller stone chamber, leaving the larger stone chamber for the Datz tribe.
Chi Li and his daughter looked at each other without saying anything, acquiescing to this assignment.

"Let's go and decorate our new home."

There are a lot of things that need to be done to live here all winter, the first of which is hygiene.

The three guys, who looked very energetic, were caught in the act. They immediately cried and mourned. Each of them took a broom made of branches and weeds and swept the dust in the stone room.

Those who didn’t know better thought they were simply causing trouble rather than cleaning.

Everyone doesn't care about them, as long as they can be cleaned up in the end.

Uncle Bear led all the male bear orcs to spread out several oversized skins. These were the skins of Mada elephants. They did not waste them and brought them all over.

Obviously, such a big elephant cannot be skinned completely, so the huge elephant skin is divided into several parts. Uncle Xiong plans to lead the tribe to process the elephant skin. It can be used as a mat on a daily basis, or hung up as a door curtain for isolation. Even with the cold wind outside, the inside of the cave can become warmer.

In the later stages, if there is insufficient food, these elephant skins can also be used to eat, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Although the craftsmanship is not as complicated as that of later generations, the orcs of this era have been dealing with wild beasts for many years and have created a special set of skills for processing animal skins over time.

The clothes of the tribesmen, the animal skins under the body and covering the body are all obtained in this way.

Chili squatted next to him and followed, and he started to get started as soon as he learned.

Uncle Xiong and the others are still using knives to scrape off the excess oil on the surface of the elephant skin. This step is not difficult, it just requires enough patience and a little care.

"What to do with the scraped grease?" Chi Li asked.

"Collect them and roll them in vegetable leaves to eat." A polar bear orc replied, they would not waste any food.

It's a pity that she can't find alkali, otherwise these oils would be great for making soap, Chi Li sighed in her heart.

Speaking of soap, it doesn't actually have to be made, because there are plant-based substitutes like saponins. The orcs will pick some when necessary to clean themselves and wash clothes.

I have also used Chili. It has a natural plant aroma and its cleaning power is quite good. It is surprisingly easy to use.

Processing elephant skin is a long project, and Chili didn't help finish it all. She was summoned by her father midway: "Abba, what do you want from me?"

Chili trotted all the way to her old father.

"Bring the big hair and two hair with you, let's go bring some salt back." Datz said.

Da Mao and Er Mao are those two horses. Their names were given by Daci. Chili didn't know why he came up with such names, but they were just two names. The old father only needed to call them fluently.

Having said that, it was obvious that they had not been captured and domesticated for a long time, but Ermao and Big Mao surprisingly listened to Datz's words. They had learned to obey some of Datz's simple commands. Together with their closeness to Chili, they had a sense of love for Wujiwu. .

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so obedient and let Chili stuff so many personal items on them.

The father and daughter explained to the tribesmen, and then each led a horse and left.

The sub-adult horse was ready to be ridden, but it did not have a saddle or reins. If she rode directly on it, Chili was afraid that she would be knocked off, so she did not jump up, and Datz had no intention of riding a horse.

Let's go back and see if we can get an original version of the reins. Chi Li thought to herself, at least there would be something to hold on to while riding on the horse and it would not be easy to fall.

The location of Yan is some distance away from the snow-capped mountains. According to the father and daughter's journey, it would take at least three days to go back and forth.

Their tribe had used up all the salt they had used to marinate the meat, and now they had to get another batch, otherwise the salt they would need in the future would be gone. It would definitely be too late to get it by then, so it was better to prepare it early.

Chi Li originally thought that this trip was just to get salt.

But after being taken to an unknown raptor nest by her old father, she knew that this journey was specially prepared for her.

Maybe he wanted to measure the bottom level of his daughter's ability after awakening to the beast form, or maybe he wanted to give his daughter a small stove to practice her hunting skills.

Anyway, this is the final result.

Chili singled out a nest of raptors.

From Datz's perspective, it was a good scene of a dragon fighting a raptor.

The winner in the end was Chi Li. Her combat experience was far richer than Datz imagined. Victory was inevitable. However, Chi Li was still a little unfamiliar with the dragon body. In addition, she used to be a mage, but now she has to She transformed into a warrior and fought in close quarters with a group of extremely ferocious birds. It was normal for her to get injured accidentally.

"Hiss, this bird's beak is too sharp, it hurts me so much when it pecks it."

Chili touched the place where her skin was pecked, and there was a little blood there, but the injury was not serious. With her own strong self-healing power, she didn't even need to deal with it, and she would be fine in a day or two.

There are five raptors in this brood, two adults and three sub-adults.

They were all huge in size, twice as big as the sparrows Chili and the others had hunted before. If Chili's beast form hadn't been ferocious enough, they wouldn't have been able to kill them.

These five birds can make more than five bird feather cloaks, which has extended the progress of collecting cold-proof materials for the tribe, making Chi Li feel that her injuries were not in vain.

Thinking of this, Chili suddenly had a question.

"How do you bring these five birds back?"

Even if she and her father can carry two horses each, there is still one left. Should we let the two horses go?

But this bird is so big, can the two horses drag it?

The point is that they came out to get salt, but they haven't found any salt yet. Instead, they harvested five giant birds along the way, but they couldn't take them back.

"It doesn't matter, leave it alone, someone will come and get it."

Datz looked prepared. It seemed that he had arranged all this.

Chili saw that her old father had some arrangements, so she didn't care too much.

The father and daughter left the five birds behind and headed to the next battlefield.

Yes, Chili was taken to fight again. Maybe because he felt that the abilities of the five birds just now were not good enough to test his daughter's true strength, Datz chose a stronger opponent for Chili this time.

Chili did have to work harder this time, but she still won, and then the next one, and the next one...

Walking and fighting all the way, by the time Chili and his daughter stood by a salt mine, it was already five days later.

The promised three days of going back and forth ended up being so late, but Chi Li felt very relaxed. Sure enough, the best way to grow up was to fight. After these few days of non-stop battles with different opponents, Chi Li had a better understanding of his own beast transformation. My body has adapted well, and the awkward feeling of stumbling and stumbling at the beginning is no longer there.

It was only then that she understood her old father's good intentions.

It turned out that Datz had already noticed that his daughter was not familiar with his beast form, so he specially brought her out to get familiar with his beast form this time. The salt was just a way to get the salt.

This salt mine is very large, and many salt crystals are piled on the surface, allowing passing creatures to take it on their own, like a cheerful and generous host.

When Chili and the others came, they saw a group of deer licking salt crystals.

Maybe it was because she had fought all the way and still had the lingering smell of blood on her body, which frightened the deer and immediately ran away as soon as they approached. Looking at their posture, it looked like they had encountered some wild beast.

Ignoring those timid guys who ran away, Chili took out the bamboo utensil and picked a relatively quick place to start digging for salt. The salt in the salt block was all in big chunks. After digging it out, it was wrapped directly. Just carry it back in the animal hide, and when needed, smash the salt block and use it.

This time Datz no longer stood idly by, but also took a tool and dug salt along with him. The father and daughter worked together and soon filled the double bags on the two horses to the full. An animal skin package filled with salt cubes.

The two people, who had returned home with a full load, set off back.

Without the need to fight off various beasts along the way, they were very fast, and they returned to the cave in the snow-capped mountains in just one and a half days.

"Clan leader."

"Pear."

……

Seeing them coming back, the clansmen welcomed them happily. Chili noticed that there was a half-made bird feather cloak placed in the corner. It seemed that the clansmen did come and take away their trophies after she failed to return and succeeded in the one-on-one challenge.

Yes, they are also people who are not even willing to waste the oil on animal skins. How could they let so many prey be left in the wild?

Even if you bring it back, you can give the clansmen an extra meal, right?

Sensing Chi Li's gaze, but mistaking what she was looking at, Keith said proudly, "We found that stone specially. It's the same as the one you had before. It can also be used to make soup. , it’s very useful.”

"Soup?"

Keith probably wouldn't have noticed it, not even Chi Li. It turned out that there was a large stone pot placed in the other corner. The stone pot was much larger than the one she had found before, and the bottom of the pot was still open in a decent way. There was some leftover firewood inside the stove. It was obvious that after Chili left, Keith and the others followed her previous example and got a pot, set up the stove, and cooked soup.

"It's pretty good." Chi Li was pleased with the learning ability of the clan members and was happy to see everyone's progress in learning.

Even if it is just for a bite to eat, this is not a sign of the development of civilization.

"Those people in the Kelesa tribe are greedy for the soup we cook and want to get a stone like this. Unfortunately, they haven't found the same one yet." Keith's words revealed a sense of pride in showing off his success, thinking that he could make it in the world. Kleisa is happy to have a face in front of the tribe.

"If you can't find a stone pot of similar shape, you can also find a stone of suitable size and carve out a pit to make it into a stone pot." Chili said this to the members of the Kelesa tribe who quietly came over. Said.

She had always understood her old father’s intention of inviting the Kelesa tribe to cooperate with their tribe for the winter. It was to take the opportunity to show off the good things of their tribe, thereby luring the Kelesa tribe into taking the bait, and at the right time proposed to jointly form a settlement. things.

Cleissa is a smart and far-sighted leader, and I believe she will make the right choice after winter is over.

Wait until spring, when the Datse tribe sets out for their new home.

Datz had made up his mind and settled at the foot of the mountain chosen by his daughter. The rich prey on the mountain could help them survive the first few years, when the crops had not yet developed to a large scale. When their planting became effective in the future, No longer need to rely on hunting for a living.

Even according to what their daughter said, when there is excess food, they can also raise some docile animals in captivity and tame them into poultry as a source of daily meat.

However, these ideas are for the future and are still a bubble without a shadow. Focusing on the present is the most important thing.

Thanks to Chili's various one-on-one prey hunting some time ago, the food reserves of the Daci tribe have increased a lot. At the same time, the usable parts of these prey, such as fur, teeth, bones, etc., have also been used, or Made into clothing, accessories, weapons, etc.

Chi Li, who came back from collecting salt, received a crown made from the most beautiful feathers of the five raptors as a gift from the tribe. The colorful crown was made in a rough way, but it had a mysterious originality. Its beauty, if taken to future generations, would also be an important cultural relic placed in a museum.

At this time, this cultural relic is being worn on Chi Li's head, as if it is coronating the royal family, giving people a somewhat solemn look.

Chi Li didn't think too much about it. She simply thought the crown was quite beautiful. After putting it on, she found an ice layer as a mirror, took a photo, and then raised her hand to adjust the position of the crown.

Well, it’s right this time.

Just for a moment, Chi Li took off the crown. It was not convenient to work with it on.

Since there is a lot of salt, the tribesmen plan to make some more jerky. Compared to raw meat that cannot leave the refrigerator, it is indeed more convenient to carry the jerky with you and eat it anytime and anywhere.

The marinated dried meat was hung directly on the top of the cave. In order to facilitate hanging the dried meat, Chi Li led the tribe to nail the dried meat to the rock wall with bone nails, and then hung the rope on the nails, crossing several ropes side by side from the top of the cave. The ropes and those marinated dried meats can be hung directly like this.

Down below, the Datz tribe will still light a fire twenty-four hours a day, providing warmth and light while also smoking the dried meat on top.

Due to the small location, their dried meat was dried in a public area, so they did not hide the method of making the dried meat of the Kleisa tribe. As for whether the other party would secretly learn from it and how much they could learn, that was their ability.

Different from the large group of intruders, the Kleisa group is regarded by Datz as his future companions, so he does not deliberately hide the good things from his family group. The main reason is that everyone lives together. Even if they have been secretive, they still hide it. There is no secret, so in this case it is better to show it openly and show their heritage to the Kelesa tribe from the side.

These days, groups that know more about the inheritance of skills are very popular among the orcs. If Datz is willing, he can even exchange one of them for the opportunity to lead his people to join a large group.

But compared to being ruled by others, he still prefers to lead his own tribe to develop and grow.

"Lili, come here and give it a try."

A few days later, the first batch of dried meat was smoked, and Mrs. Hu called Chili over to try it.

Chili took the dried bacon handed over by Mrs. Hu and took a small bite. It was very chewy and moderately salty. The dried meat that had just been smoked and roasted was not as hard as it was later: "It's delicious."

It would be nice if we could get some other flavors.

Chi Lixin said.

In addition to salted dried meat, fruit-flavored dried meat is already available. One time, Chili even squeezed some honey from the hands of a bear orc young man who was eager to dig out the honeycomb, and used it to eat barbecue. The taste was so delicious. .

If she hadn't known that all kinds of bees these days were very poisonous, and sometimes one of them might kill a bear if he didn't get it right, Chili almost couldn't help but coax the bear-orc young man to dig out another honeycomb and get some honey to eat.

Honey is okay. If Chi Li really wants to eat it, it's not impossible to get it. She is more concerned about adding spiciness to the barbecue and dried meat. However, the spiciest edible plant she has found so far is garlic.

Chili and pepper are all things without a shadow.

Therefore, Chi Li can only continue to long for the longing in her heart, and there is no way to realize it in a short time.

Why do you say that?

Because winter is coming.

The howling cold wind brought the blizzard, creating a terrible natural scene outside. The first snow of the year was a terrible blizzard. No one dared to go out in this kind of weather.

Fortunately, the Datz and Kleisa tribes were fully prepared before the blizzard came.

They transported thick logs in advance and buried them deeply at the entrance of the cave. They sealed two-thirds of the entrance of the cave where wind was always flowing in, leaving only a door-like entrance and exit.

In addition to wood, they also used elephant skin to make a windproof partition to prevent cold wind from entering the cave as much as possible and maintain the temperature inside the cave.

The door curtains were also made of elephant skin at the entrance and exit, and heavy stones were tied to the bottom to prevent the door curtains from being blown away by strong winds.
