Good luck with koi carp

Chapter 242 Xia Yadi

Outside the entrance of the Lili tribe village is a small piece of open space that has been specially cleared, and a little further away is a large and dense forest.

Judging from the smell so close, the group of foreign stray orcs were hiding behind the woods, observing them silently.

Perhaps the other party was a little frightened by the crowds of people at the entrance of their village. After a long while, seeing that the people of the Lili tribe did not make any unfriendly moves, the other party tentatively walked out of the woods.

The first person to walk out of the woods was a slender and fit woman. Chi Li estimated that she was over 1.8 meters tall, with a pair of round yellow-brown ears on her head and a long leopard tail behind her.

The weather in the middle to late autumn was already a little chilly, but the man was still wearing a clear animal skin coat, revealing a large area of ​​healthy and beautiful wheat-colored skin. The clearly visible muscles on his limbs and waist and abdomen showed his unparalleled strength.

It was obvious that he was an excellent wild hunter.

Cheetah-type orc.

It was the first time that Chi Li saw a cheetah-like orc. She couldn't help but take a few more looks out of curiosity, which immediately attracted a very vigilant look. The other party saw that she was a young orc who should have been an adult no more than three years old. He then glanced back at the few small figures hiding behind the house, and his eyes suddenly softened, with some satisfaction.

Chi Li had seen this kind of look on Claza's face when she first met them. It was an affirmation of a tribe's ability to raise cubs, which undoubtedly strengthened the desire of the orcs of the other tribe to date the orcs of their tribe.

As the head of a clan, Chi Li should naturally go out and socialize with the other clan leaders at this time.

She took the initiative to stand out from the crowd, walked up to her in front of her surprised eyes, and introduced herself: "My name is Lili, the chief of the Lili tribe."

In this world, Chi Li's name is Li Li.

"Respected Chief Lili, my name is Xiayati, and I'm the chief of the Xiayati tribe." Even though Xiayati was surprised at Chi Li's youth, she still showed her due respect.

In her opinion, the other party was the leader of a large tribe, while they were just a small tribe of less than ten people. So even if the identities of both parties were equal in theory, in reality Xia Yadi and the others were inferior to the other party.

This is the same as the difference between a big country and a small country.

After the chiefs of both sides greeted each other, Xia Yadi truly confirmed that the Lili tribe was harmless, then she turned around and let out a low growl towards the woods. Chi Li listened and realized that it meant calling her own people to come out.

People have come out to meet them openly, and it would be very unfriendly for them to hide anymore.

After receiving the order from the chief, several orcs appeared in the woods one after another. Chi Li counted them one by one and found that there were eight in total. Including Xia Yadi, there were nine people in total. This was the number of their entire tribe.

After seeing all the orcs from the Xiayati tribe, the people of the Lili tribe became agitated for a moment, and Chi Li knew why they behaved like this.

Because there were only nine orcs on the other side, and seven of them were females!

Although the orc world is a matriarchal society, all orc cubs, regardless of gender, will be raised and cared for by the tribe as if they were the most precious treasures. Of course, the status of female cubs is relatively higher, after all, they are the foundation for the continuation of a population.

However, for unknown reasons, the overall male-to-female ratio of the orcs is actually biased. The deviation is extremely large. Currently, there are more males than females, so the females in each group are more precious.

Just like the previous Dartz tribe and the Klesha tribe, they are typical representatives of the group where there are more male orcs than female orcs.

Therefore, it was surprising to see such a large population with the reversed number of males and females.

But maybe, it’s not that surprising.

When she first came here, Chi Li knew clearly that this world was very dangerous. It was hard to say how much of the relatively stable life they had lived before was due to her luck. Those tribes that did not have the bonus of luck had to endure a completely cruel and wild primitive world.

So just like the catastrophic disaster that the Datz tribe almost experienced before, the Xiayati tribe has probably just undergone a major change, and is now in a somewhat embarrassing state.

Chi Li took a careful look and found, as expected, that almost all the beastmen in the Xiayati tribe were injured. The only difference was the severity of the injuries. Among them, the ones who were injured the most were the only two remaining males.

It seems that they did not have only these two male orcs, but the other male orcs are no longer here to protect their tribesmen.

I don’t know exactly what they went through.

The two parties had just met, so naturally it was not appropriate to talk too much. Chi Li did not ask too many questions, but just maintained a friendly smile and said, "Welcome to our tribe. Over there is a guest room that we specially prepared for our guests. If you don't mind, you can stay there temporarily."

As early as the beginning of building the village, Chi Li had considered the situation that he would encounter later. If their tribe wanted to grow and develop, it would inevitably require the addition of outsiders. But it was not like they could just let an orc join. At least they had to try to get along with each other first to see if they could get along with each other.

And even if the other party does not intend to join them, and only plans to have a short-term date with them and leave after having cubs, then during the period of the date between the two tribes, and since the Lili tribe will not move, they should at least prepare a temporary place for them to stay.

Based on this consideration, after each member of the tribe had built their own house, Chi Li gathered a group of people and built a wooden house near the entrance of the village.

The wooden house is just the simplest structure, and there is not even any furniture inside, but it can serve as a basic shelter from wind and rain, and it is very spacious inside, and can accommodate at least twenty adult orcs without any problem. It is also located within the village wall, with a barrier to the outside world, so the safety performance is guaranteed to a certain extent. It is also far away from the residence of the orcs of the Lili tribe, leaving ample social space for both sides.

For the orcs who are used to long-term wandering, this is already very good living condition. If they were to look for it on their own, they might not be able to find such a good place to live.

Therefore, the beastmen of the Xiayati tribe had no objection to Chi Li's arrangement. They even looked a little bit unbelievable, as if they couldn't believe that such a good place would be given to them to live in?

However, it must be said that after experiencing a series of misfortunes, the Xiayati tribe, which had been somewhat paranoid, finally found a relatively safe place to settle down. Everyone of them felt a little relieved, and they looked at the people of the Lili tribe with some favorability.

They came here originally for a date, and after a brief acquaintance, the orcs from both sides quickly began to communicate with each other.

Chi Li couldn't get involved in such an occasion, but she didn't leave. She just stayed there and observed for a while.

Then she soon discovered that among the female orcs of the Xiayati tribe, only three of them who looked more mature were in contact with the male orcs of the Lili tribe who were interested in them. Although the other female orcs were also socializing, it was obvious that they were just chatting and had no intention of "dating". Among these people was their chief Xiayati.

The two male orcs from the Xiayati tribe just sat there motionless, avoiding the female orcs from the Lili tribe.

Chi Li analyzed it in her mind and quickly understood what the other party meant.

Their tribe had just encountered a disaster and suffered serious casualties. Seven of the remaining nine people were females. For the continuation of the race and for future survival, they had to add a new generation to their tribe. However, it was not an easy task for orcs to raise cubs. It was difficult to survive just because of the covetous people attracted when the cubs were born.

Therefore, they could not allow all the females in the tribe to become pregnant. The risk would be too great and they simply could not afford it. Therefore, the Xiayati tribe only selected three of the most suitable female orcs, and the others remained single, so as to ensure that they would have enough combat power to deal with possible crises in the future.

Even, they had their own considerations for choosing to stay close to the Lili tribe.

In the past two years of living and working in peace and contentment, the orcs of the Lili tribe have never been hungry again. They are all well-fed and full of energy, and many of them have gained a lot of weight. They look completely different from those orcs who have been wandering for a long time.

Just like in nature, fat wild beasts mostly represent great strength, the same is true for beastmen. Who doesn't want their offspring to have better genes?

There is another benefit for the Shayati community.

That is, the cubs' fathers are strong enough, and during the accompanying period, they can provide stronger protection for the mother and the cubs. Even more, considering that they are from the same tribe, if something really happens to their family members and their cubs, can the people of the Lili tribe just stand by and watch?

"It's an open conspiracy."

It is rare to see an orc who can use strategies in a world where all orcs are honest and simple. Chi Li is not only not disgusted, but also finds it quite novel.

She could actually understand Xia Yadi. After all, her family was almost wiped out, and she had to find a way to save them, otherwise they would really be gone.

Although it seems that this strategy benefits them completely and the Lili tribe suffers the consequences, it is not actually the case. Who knows what the final result will be?

Chi Li smiled, stopped watching other people's dates, turned around and went up the mountain.

"Chief, where are you going?"

Knowing that she had no hope again, Claresa saw Chi Li was about to leave and hurriedly chased after her and asked.

"Let's go to the mountain and see if there is any prey." Chi Li said.

Although there are livestock in the village, they also organize people to go out hunting from time to time. One reason is to hone hunting skills so as not to lose the ability to eat, and the other is simply to add to the meal.

After all, many livestock have other uses, such as being kept for laying eggs or for shearing. They cannot all be used for meat. If there is a lack of meat on the table, we can only find it outside.

"I'll go with you."

Since she had nothing to do today, Claresa followed Chi Li up the mountain.

The nearby mountains are endless, hiding a lot of prey, small and large, dangerous and non-dangerous.

Chi Li and Clisa were just strolling around in the mountains, and soon, with the help of their sensitive hearing, they caught the movement of their prey.

The voices of the two people chatting suddenly stopped, and without any instructions, they immediately transformed into the best jungle hunters, quietly approaching the location of the prey with light and silent footsteps.

She didn't know when Klesa had transformed into a beast. She lay on the ground like a sturdy lion, lurking in the grass and moving silently.
Chi Li did not transform into a beast. She just changed direction tacitly and surrounded the prey from the other side without exposing Clisa's whereabouts.

Only when they got close enough could they see the prey clearly.

It was a giant porcupine, its body was as big as a cow, and every quill on its body was like a steel needle, flashing with a sharp edge. However, when Chi Li saw those quills, her first reaction was to think that the sewing needles at home should be replaced.

The unconscious prey was nibbling on berries in the grass, unaware that it had been targeted by two powerful hunters.

Chi Li winked at Clissa from a distance, indicating that she would take the lead in the hunt this time.

The quills on this porcupine are very painful, and Claresa's fur is not enough to defend against them, and is not as useful as Chili's hard scales.

Klasa also understood this, so she just lay down in the grass and gave up her hunting position.

Chi Li was quietly transforming into a beast. It was difficult for a huge dragon to hide itself in the woods, so she simply did not bother to hide. The moment she transformed, her whole body flashed out like a spring and pounced on the porcupine, which was unable to react. Her long body covered with hard scales also coiled around the porcupine like a snake, completely unafraid of the terrible spikes.

As we all know, snakes have very strong strangulation power, which can even be called death strangulation. As a dragon, Chi Li's strength can only be said to be strong, not weak. No matter how the porcupine screamed and struggled, it was knocked to the ground by Chi Li's powerful strength and forced to expose its soft belly.

Even though it is covered with thorns, it still has a soft spot.

And this is their fatal point.

The figure hiding in the bushes moved. Like a flash of yellow lightning, she came to the porcupine that was tightly entangled and fell to the ground in an instant. She opened her sharp teeth and bit its abdomen fiercely. She shook her head and tore it hard, easily tearing open the porcupine's belly, leaving warm blood all over the ground.

The porcupine struggled a few more times and then stopped moving.

After sensing the end of the prey's breath, Chi Li finally loosened his body and shook it off, shaking off some of the broken porcupine quills.

She changed back into orc form, and like a hardworking little bee, she picked up the porcupine quills that fell on the ground. She also tested the hardness. It was good, perhaps due to the special world bonus. The porcupine quills in this world were much harder than bone needles, and the tips were also very sharp. After a little polishing and drilling a hole in the thicker part at the back, it should be very useful for sewing clothes.

Klasa did not change back. The porcupine was too big and it was difficult to carry it in orc form. So she simply maintained the appearance of a lion and dragged the porcupine back by its neck.

The porcupine was being dragged and its quills were falling all the way. Chi Li followed behind and picked them up along the way, as if she didn't want to waste even a single quill.

If someone laughed at Chi Li for this, she would definitely retort that she didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were.

Their tribe had no shortage of animal skins for making clothes, but they lacked tools. Since many animal skins were relatively hard and tough, bone needles were not very easy to use. It often took a lot of effort to pierce a hole, and if one accidentally used too much force, the needle could easily be broken.

You know, it takes a lot of effort to grind a bone needle. It's not as convenient as picking up a ready-made porcupine quill.

When I returned to the village with the prey, there was no one at the door.

Chi Li first looked towards the wooden house at the entrance of the village. Someone had already moved in there. She didn't look at it for long so as not to be considered as intruding on her privacy. She and Clisa took the prey and walked towards the place where the tribesmen lived.

The Lili tribe still retains the tradition of sharing prey.

Every time a tribe member comes back from hunting, he will share the prey with other tribesmen. How much each person gets depends on the size of the prey.

This time the porcupine was very big, and everyone got a large piece of meat. They happily took it home to cook.

Chi Li noticed that several people took the meat and did not go towards their homes, but walked towards the village entrance. As for what they were going to do, it was self-evident.

If you want to win the favor of female orcs, you need to show some performance.

The arrival of the Xiayati people did not affect the normal life of the Lili tribe, they still did what they had to do.

Winter is approaching, and people have increased the frequency of going out hunting and are busy storing food for the winter.

Although the granaries of almost every household are now full, those are vegetarian food. There is still a big gap in meat. The livestock raised in the village alone are not enough to meet their food needs.

In winter, most animals will hide, and some will even hibernate, so it is difficult to find them, so it is best to catch more prey before autumn comes.

Originally, the Xiayati tribe had no idea of ​​storing food, but seeing the orcs from the Lili tribe, they unconsciously increased the frequency of hunting.

That’s just right. Eating more meat can help me heal my injury faster.

Xia Yadi thought so.

Although the injuries on their bodies affected their hunting to some extent, every member of the Xiayati tribe was a good hunter. Even if they were unable to catch large prey now, they could basically catch small prey.

This is due to the fact that most of their tribe are cheetah-form orcs who excel in speed. Even in orc form, their speed is faster than ordinary orcs. After transforming into beasts, this advantage will be multiplied, so few animals can escape their pursuit.

It is also because they can run fast that they are able to escape with their lives when they encounter danger, otherwise they would have been destroyed long ago.

Chi Li later made special observations and confirmed that there were a total of six cheetah-type orcs in the Xiayati tribe, five females and one male. The remaining three orcs, two females and one male, were all bird-type orcs. Like Simon's father, they could fly and had the advantage of the sky.

"It would be nice if we could keep them here."

Chi Li grumbled to her old father in private.

"Winter is coming." Dartz tightened the animal skin around him and felt a slight chill.

As winter approaches, the temperature is getting lower day by day. It was still around 10 or 20 degrees yesterday, but this morning it was only around 15 or 16 degrees. It is already time to wear long sleeves, long pants and a jacket.

In the past, animal skin skirts were the common clothing for all orcs. Many orcs simply wore a piece of animal skin wrapped around the waist. Not to mention the issue of whether it would expose the body, it was not warm enough.

So after Chi Li came, she made some changes to the style of clothes, creating simpler pants and tops.

She was now wearing a pair of deerskin trousers with loose legs that reached her ankles. The stitching on the seams was not very neat, but very dense. It was obvious that the person who made the trousers was very attentive, but due to the simple tools, he could only make it as close as possible.

The upper body is a loose long-sleeved top, also made of deerskin, which forms a set with the pants.

The orcs currently have no concept of clothing patterns. They only pursue two things when making clothes: convenience and warmth.

Loose clothes are for ease of movement, and long sleeves and long pants are for keeping warmer.

Ever since awakening her beast form, Chi Li is not afraid of the cold anymore. She even feels a little hot dressed like this in this weather, but she wears this way today for a purpose, to show off.

Chi Li, who seemed to be inspecting the village but was actually deliberately loitering at the entrance of the village, lived up to his expectations and attracted the curious gazes of the Xiayati people who were squatting outside the wooden house to marinate meat.

It was the first time that the Xiayati people had seen this type of animal skin clothing, and they could not help but look at Chi Li with curiosity. They themselves were still at the stage of wrapping an animal skin around their waist or body as clothing, but even primitive beastmen with little experience could tell the quality of an item.

In fact, from the first time they met, the Xiayati people noticed that the orcs of the Lili tribe dressed differently from them, but the weather was not too cold at that time, and some orcs were still accustomed to their old clothes. At most, they had a little more cloth on their bodies, and they didn't look that different from them. Now, seeing the obviously stylish clothes on Chi Li, they could clearly compare the differences between the two.

The limbs and torso are wrapped in animal skins, which means there is no room for wind to bleed, and it will be warmer.

In winter, warmth means hope of survival, which naturally arouses their yearning.

The goal was achieved, and Chi Li left with his achievements and fame concealed.

By the way, the reason why the Xiayati people knew how to pickle meat was because they learned it from the orcs of the Lili tribe.

This is a technique of preserving food that the tribesmen generously passed on to other tribes after consulting Chi Li and obtaining her consent.

For this, Xia Yati and her tribesmen were very grateful to Chi Li, the generous and benevolent tribal leader. Xia Yati also led her tribesmen to catch a big wild boar and gave it to the Lili tribe as a thank you gift.

Chi Li accepted this thank-you gift with a clear conscience, and at the same time, she became even more envious of Xia Yadi and her group.

It is rare to find orcs who are polite and grateful. The key point is that after spending some time together, the people from both tribes get along well. If possible, Chi Li is willing to let them stay and join them.

Of course, this also depends on other people's wishes.

Therefore, during this period of time, Chi Li has actually been working with his family members to give the other party an all-round and comprehensive introduction to the advantages of their Li Li tribe, so that the other party can realize how great the benefits of staying are, and thus willingly want to join them.
