Good luck with koi carp

The terrifying roar of the beast shook the sky, accompanied by flying flesh and blood and falling corpses, creating a scene that looked like the end of the world.

Chi Li just kept the posture of protecting the wooden house, using her body to block the beasts that broke through the defense line and attacked from time to time, and using her sharp claws and fangs to tear apart the guys who dared to rush to her and seek death.

Perhaps because two orc cubs were born today, the number of mad beasts attracted was much greater than the last time she had seen, and the battle was particularly brutal.

Fortunately, the biggest difference between orcs and wild beasts is that they are intelligent. They help each other and greatly avoid the possibility of being attacked by wild beasts. Even if one person cannot take care of the defense in all directions, his companions will pay attention to help him resist the danger from the blind spots of defense.

Once someone is seriously injured and loses the ability to fight, he will be sent to the wooden house in time and enter the last defense circle formed by Chi Li to be properly protected.

Those who left the battlefield and entered the wooden house only stayed in the outermost room to avoid stimulating the two mothers who had just given birth in the innermost room, thereby avoiding causing them to have uncontrollable stress reactions.

As early as after confirming that one of the tribesmen was pregnant, Xia Yadi, after obtaining Chi Li's consent, slightly renovated the interior of the wooden house, dividing the house into three parts. The front was a large area for the tribesmen to live in, and the back was divided into two small areas, which were the delivery room for the two pregnant women and the postpartum living area.

Whether before or after pregnancy, as long as the cubs have not been weaned, the mother will always be overly nervous and instinctively reject anyone who is not the cub's father, even if they are orcs of the same race.

So it's better for everyone to live a little separately.

This way the cubs' parents can feel at ease, and they don't have to worry about accidentally offending others.

At this time, the wounded were staying in the large collective living room, where enough herbs and food had been prepared. Those who could still move helped those who could not move to bandage and apply medicine. If someone was hungry, they could get food to feed themselves.

For convenience, Chi Li had people prepare cooked food in advance so that it could be eaten directly, saving the trouble of cooking it.

Wounded soldiers were sent in one after another, and the originally spacious space gradually became crowded, which shows how fierce the battle outside was.

Some orcs who felt they had recovered a little stood up again and went out to join the battle again.

In order to protect the newborns, they are willing to risk their lives.

However, Chi Li did not intend to let his tribesmen gamble their lives.

There were not many people in the tribe to begin with, and if one or two were sacrificed here accidentally, she would be heartbroken, so she would rather suffer a little than face the subsequent loss. She simply used her body to block the way for those orcs who wanted to leave, expressing her rejection.

"Chief!" someone shouted unwillingly.

Chi Li pretended not to hear, and swung his claws to knock a coyote away, while still biting a giant python fiercely in his mouth. Ignoring its struggle, he raised his head and swung it violently, using his upper and lower teeth to force downwards, breaking the giant python into two sections. It fell miserably to the ground, still struggling and squirming, but it was no longer alive.

Chi Li, who had no intention of giving the enemy any chance, aimed at its vital point. If the vital point was broken, how could it still survive?

"hold head high--"

After killing the giant python, the golden dragon opened its bloody mouth and let out a warning roar. The terrifying pressure from the legendary giant beast descended upon the entire scene, shocking the beasts so much that they all paused, and some of the beasts at the edge even showed obvious signs of wavering.

Their heated brains seemed to have finally been awakened by the roar. Even though a small number of conscious beasts were still reluctant to give up the tonic that was so close to them, no matter how good the thing was, they had to live to enjoy it.

From the corner of his eye he seemed to see some dark shadows turning around and disappearing into the woods, but Chi Li was too lazy to care.

From dark to light and then back to dark.

As the day was almost over, the beasts, knowing that their chances were slimming, learned to work together without any instruction and launched the most powerful charge against the orcs.

Unfortunately, the orcs also knew that as long as they could survive this final period, they would win. Seeing that success was so close, how could they retreat?

Chi Li wrapped himself even tighter around the wooden house, as if he were guarding it as if it were his own treasure. His strong body defense had not been breached yet, but his originally beautiful scales were inevitably stained with some mess.

"Throwers, get ready!" Chi Li shouted.

The orcs fighting on the front line outside did not react to the order, but in the gap between the wooden house and Chi Li's body, which was invisible to the wild beasts, a row of orcs holding huge stones suddenly appeared.

"leave!"

Following the order from the chief, the orcs threw the boulders in their hands with great force without using any tools, relying on their strong physical strength.

The sound of breaking air pierced the long night. Countless huge rocks fell from the sky, crushing many wild beasts in the back that were unable to react in time. Some were injured, and some were simply killed.

The shrill wails continued, but they did not arouse any sympathy from the perpetrator.

"I told you before, the biggest difference between us and the beasts is that we have wisdom."

I don't know who said this, but when the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the orcs, many beasts that had gradually woken up saw that the situation was not right, and immediately turned around and fled driven by their survival instinct.

There are already mountains of corpses piled up on the battlefield, and they don't want to be one of them.

When a day and a night finally passed, the blessing of the Beast God descended, dimming the breath of the cubs. All the mad beasts suddenly woke up and turned around in panic to escape.

Upon seeing this, Chi Li immediately let go of the wooden house that he had been protecting for the entire day, turned around and pounced fiercely into the herd of animals, as if he was snatching some free gifts. He scooped up a bunch with one claw, held a few in his mouth, and even used his tail to trap many beasts that failed to escape in time.

Facing the confused looks of the tribesmen, she rolled her eyes and said vaguely, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get the rope to tie them up."

What about the ready-made future livestock? How can we just let them run away?

You have to know how difficult it was for them to capture live wild animals in the wild in the past. It was not because they could not beat or catch the animals, but mainly because it was a bit difficult in the process of finding the animals.

There are so many wild beasts gathered here now, and they have run out of strength after fighting for a day and a night. Their spirits have been shaken by the failure of attacking the orc cubs. This is the most vulnerable time. If we don’t seize the opportunity to catch more of them, are we going to just watch them run away?

As for whether the captured wild beasts could be tamed successfully, Chi Li never thought about it. If taming failed, just kill them and eat them. It was no big deal. Anyway, the beastmen would eat all kinds of meat and were not picky at all.

At the reminder of the tribe leader, some people hurriedly ran to find a bunch of ropes, and then everyone worked together to tie up all the prey caught by Chi Li and pulled them to some empty pens.

Before the snowstorm, all the successfully domesticated livestock in the village were concentrated in a large pen for easy care, and some small pens happened to be vacant, which were perfect for accommodating these new prey.

There were also clever orcs who immediately ran to the pile of wild beast corpses on the ground to look for any living beasts. Although everyone was fighting with the purpose of killing the enemy and they were all killers without any mercy, but in this situation, there would still be some fish that slipped through the net and did not really die, and were still lingering on.

These animals were dug out and placed in a separate enclosure, with no one treating them. At most they were given some feed to ensure they wouldn't starve to death, and then they would be eaten as meat if they survived.

Anyway, the orcs themselves were badly injured and there was no extra medicine to give to them.

After the war, Chi Li asked someone to count the injuries of everyone.

Apart from the fact that her own defense was too strong and no beast could break her defense, everyone else was injured to varying degrees, but fortunately no one died.

Chi Li first arranged for people to send all the orcs of their Lili tribe to the public house, and then asked those with minor injuries to bandage and apply medicine to those with serious injuries, while also applying medicine to themselves. She stayed on the spot to clean up the battlefield and collect all the spoils on the ground.

The cubs belong to the bloodline of both parties, so this defense battle cannot be said to be simply one side helping the other, and Chi Li has no intention of using this to seek credit from the Xiayati tribe.

She only planned to sort out the spoils according to their contributions on the battlefield after counting all the spoils, and then...

"Chief Lili." Xia Yadi, covered in blood, took the initiative to come to Chili's side, lowered her head slightly and showed the respectful gesture of a subordinate: "Please let me help you."

Although Xia Yadi said that she was here to help Chi Li clean up the battlefield, her actions clearly showed her surrender and her wholehearted submission, making it difficult for Chi Li to understand what she meant.

But just to be on the safe side and avoid the possibility of misunderstanding, she still asked one more question: "Are you sure, Xia Yadi?"

"Chief, you are powerful enough for us to trust you."

Xia Yadi simply changed the way she addressed Chi Li to show her determination.

It was unknown when, but all the tribesmen of the Xiayati tribe gathered around Chi Li. Even the two orcs who had just given birth appeared in front of the wooden house with their cubs in their arms. All of them bowed their heads to show respect and submission to Chi Li, and willingly recognized her as the new tribe leader.

"You are welcome to join us."

This was exactly the result that Chi Li wanted to see, so she naturally would not refuse.

After smilingly welcoming the Xiayati tribe, or rather the new members of the Lili tribe, Chi Li began to shoulder the responsibilities as the tribe leader and arranged for the new members of the tribe.

Like the original tribesmen, the accepted Xiayati tribe was allowed to enter the central area of ​​the village. They could also enjoy the village’s public resources, such as collective herbs and food supplies, as well as care from the group, etc.

After being properly taken care of, a former orc of the Xiayati tribe, who was resting comfortably in a soft animal hide blanket, sighed and said, "I should have advised the elders of the Xiayati tribe to join the tribe earlier."

Wouldn't they be able to live this good life sooner?

The companion next to her rolled his eyes at her and said, "Come on, if you are not sure that the new leader is strong enough and qualified to lead us, how can you join in willingly?"

After all, orcs are a race that values ​​strength. If Chi Li failed to show her strength, no orc would be willing to obey her, not even the Dartz tribe she originally belonged to.

Even if she is the daughter of the clan leader, she will be kicked out if she is not capable enough to lead the clan to continue to develop.

Fortunately, Chi Li is both strong and capable, so this kind of thing will never happen.

With the addition of Xia Yadi and eleven new members, the total population of the Lili tribe finally exceeded fifty, and the ratio of men to women within the tribe has also improved to a certain extent. At least if it is just internal reproduction, there is no need to look for new members from outside in a short period of time, and the tribe can digest them internally for a while.

However, Chi Li would never be satisfied with this.

If more people come later and she confirms that they have good character, she will still find a way to get them to join them to expand the size of the tribe.

There are only fifty or so people, which is still too few for a tribe.

Although the battle to defend the cubs was brutal and the Lili tribe almost suffered casualties, the gains after the war were enormous.

Not to mention the wild animals that were captured alive, the dead carcasses alone could provide a lot to the Lili tribe.

Large amounts of meat, fur, bones, and even claws are almost all good things.

So after collecting all the spoils, Chi Li led his men to hold a lively celebration banquet.

The bonfire was lit, people roasted meat around the fire, danced the most primitive dance, sang and danced happily, and their laughter almost spread outside the village.

After the excitement, the most anticipated event is the distribution of spoils.

Following the principle of collective sharing, Chi Li distributed all the spoils equally to every member of the tribe, allowing them to decide for themselves what to do with them.
Many wild beasts died in the battle to defend the cubs, and many of them were large beasts, so there were many spoils left behind, the most of which was naturally meat.

There is so much meat that even if everyone eats it six times a day, they still cannot finish it, so naturally they have to find a way to preserve it.

It is now the end of winter, and the outdoor natural refrigerator can still be used, but the usage period has entered the countdown, so don't count on freezing the meat with it.

Therefore, every household started to prepare pickled and smoked meats busily. During that time, the whole village was filled with smoke and the air was filled with the strong aroma of meat.

Feeling that eating pickled and smoked meat is a bit greasy, Chi Li found another way this time. She scraped off the fat from the meat that she was given and threw it into a big pot to refine the oil. The refined oil was put into a sealed stone jar with some meat pieces stuffed at the bottom. In this way, the meat sealed in the oil can be stored for a long time, and the flavor will not be worse than fresh meat. The refined oil can also be used for cooking, which is even more fragrant.

Chi Li did not hide the whole process of refining oil and storing meat from others, and even openly set up the pot at the door of his house to refine oil. After everyone watched the clan leader's actions in silence, they went back and learned from him.

Although they didn't know what the ultimate purpose of doing this was, it didn't matter. Since the clan leader did this, there must be a reason for her.

After the oil is refined, a pile of oil residue is left, which is also a delicacy. Chi Li puts the fried food in a stone jar, sprinkles some salt in it and mixes it well, and can eat it as a snack at any time.

Crunchy.

For a long time, this sound echoed in the village, and everyone followed suit and used the residue left over from oil refining as snacks. Some people even made a straw bag to put the oil residue in, and put one or two in their mouths from time to time while working, chewing them with their cheeks moving and accompanied by a crisp sound.

The new arrivals did not have much impact on the lives of the original Lili tribe members. Even if there was any impact, it was positive.

Originally, the residential area that Chi Li had allocated for the tribesmen was very large. With that small number of people, even if each person built a house and a small yard, they could not occupy all the space. Therefore, no one reacted much to the tribe leader's allocation of homesteads to each new tribe member, and some were even enthusiastic about helping others build houses.

The host was also understanding and offered to provide meals for those who came to help. It happened that they had obtained a large amount of meat before, and their own store of salt was not enough, and there was no container to store oil, so there was no way to preserve the meat for a long time. So they simply took it out to entertain the people who came to help.

With everyone working together, it only took about ten days to build houses for the new tribesmen.

After building a house, the next step is to cultivate the fields.

Chi Li had already told them before about the share of private land that each orc in the Li Li tribe could own, but shares were shares, and if they really wanted to get their own land, they still had to cultivate it with their own hands.

Since they were latecomers, the land originally close to the village had already been occupied, and the newcomers could only go a little further out to find some unowned wasteland to reclaim.

"We have to hurry. Spring is coming. We have to get the land out before then, otherwise it will delay planting."

Knowing that the new tribesmen knew nothing about farming, Chi Li, as the tribe leader, did not let them do whatever they wanted. Instead, he specially selected an agricultural teaching team from among the people who were good at farming in the tribe, and taught the new tribesmen step by step how to reclaim land, how to farm, etc.

Time always passes by in the busyness without people noticing. When Chi Li came to her senses, winter had long passed and spring had quietly arrived. This is a season for growth of all things.

She took out the good seeds she had saved last year and distributed them to every member of the tribe, asking everyone to sow the seeds in the earth in the hope of a good harvest.

Knowing that the seeds in these fields will turn into real grain in the future, no one dared to be negligent. Everyone sowed the seeds carefully. Some even turned the fields over twice before planting, for fear that something would not be done well and lead to a reduction in grain production.

The new tribesmen were even more careful in planting, treating the fields as if they were their own cubs. After all, it was the first time for them to plant crops in their lives, and even with the personal guidance of the tribe leader, they were still a little clumsy.

Chi Li was used to seeing this happening to all novice plant growers, so she didn't think anyone was stupid or anything. She just patiently guided them one by one and pointed out the mistakes they made during the process.

Unconsciously, she has already established initial prestige in the hearts of the new tribesmen, but Chi Li has not been able to sense it yet.

Before we know it, another spring and autumn has passed.

When the harvest season comes, everyone in the Lili tribe has a bright smile on their face when they see the fields full of fruits.

More than half a year has passed, and the members of the original Xiayati ethnic group have long since been completely integrated into the Lili tribe and become part of this big family. Everyone helps each other and there is no distinction between them.

Their original chief Xia Yadi became the elder of the Lili tribe. Up to now, she has become one of Chi Li's right-hand men.

During this period of time, Chi Li gradually discovered that compared to her old father and Clisa, the two leaders who still have the usual rough and honest style of the orcs, Xia Yadi is more of a brain type. This can actually be seen from her use of various conspiracies and schemes.

So with this thoughtful helper, Chi Li can hand over some of the more brain-intensive things on hand to her, making herself much more relaxed.

Therefore, even though the tribe grew a little, apart from the busy period at the beginning when everyone was getting to know each other, she later found that her daily workload not only did not increase, but actually decreased.

This made Chi Li sigh at the usefulness of a good helper.

Originally, Chi Li thought that their tribe would not have any major population growth in the short term. Unless the single females in the tribe who were not yet pregnant gave birth to pups together, their total number should remain stable for quite some time.

Who knew that at the end of autumn, they would welcome a group of new people.

It was a wandering orc group with a size of about thirty people, which was a considerable number for an ordinary wandering orc group. However, most of them were herbivorous orcs, and the leader was a male red panda orc named Kandavi.

It’s not the black and white kind, it’s black, brown and white, but it’s just as cute as the red panda.

He was chubby, with a long, furry tail behind him. Even in orc form he was very big. Chi Li estimated that he was about two meters and five meters tall, and she had to look up when standing in front of him.

It's hard to believe that his animal form is actually a red panda.

But contrary to his huge size, this man gave people a very peaceful and harmless feeling, just like facing a gentle and non-aggressive small animal.

And their entire ethnic group gives people this feeling.

Right from the start, the other party directly expressed their desire to join them. Kang Dawei even said that he could give up being a tribe elder and only asked that the tribe members be able to settle down in the Lili tribe.

When he said this, the look in Kang Dawei's eyes was sincere and a little nervous, as if he was afraid of being rejected and wanted Chi Li to confirm that every word he said was from the heart and not a lie.

But Chi Li was confused: "Why do you want to join us?"

Chi Li didn't believe that the other party knew them so well just after they arrived, so there must always be a reason.

Kandawi scratched his head in a simple manner and said shyly, "There are many females here. We also saw that you grow food in the fields. You also saw that most of our tribe are vegetarian beastmen, so everyone's hunting ability is not very strong... this and that, in fact, we have secretly observed you for a period of time and think that you are very powerful. Living with you can give us protection, so... so we want to join you."

A lot of reasons were listed, but in fact there were only two main reasons why Kandavi valued the Lili tribe. One was food and the other was safety. Of course, the large number of females could barely be counted as one of them.

When they first arrived, Chi Li had already observed them and found that there was only one young female cub in the Kandavi group, and the rest were adult males.

Chi Li didn't ask the reason, but they confessed it themselves.

It turns out that the original Kandavi tribe only had males. Maybe they once had females, but they were too weak. The females either left on their own to seek protection from a stronger tribe, or were snatched away by other tribes. In the end, only this group of bachelors were left and no one wanted them.

Even during the mating season, they are the ones who are disliked.

Who says herbivorous beast-type orcs are generally recognized as weak?

Although not all herbivorous beast-type orcs are weak, such as elephant orcs, rhino orcs, etc., they can also rely on their strong bodies to gain good combat effectiveness. However, most of the herbivorous animals in this world have little combat effectiveness and can only run away. This lowers the overall reputation of herbivorous beast-type orcs.

This little female cub was the only one they found while wandering.

At that time, the tribe to which the cub belonged failed in the battle to defend the cub, and the cub was snatched from its mother's arms by a ferocious beast just after it was born.

According to normal development, she would definitely not survive.

However, it just so happened that the one who took the cub away was a cheetah that was very good at running. It wanted to find a safe place to keep the cub all to itself, so it ran with the cub, shaking off a pursuer, and ended up running into the Kandavi group halfway.

Even if the Kandavi tribe is weak, its population has reached more than thirty people, which is more than enough to defeat a cheetah.

Especially since this guy has an orc cub in his mouth.

Driven by their instinct to protect their cubs, the beastmen of the Kandavi tribe rushed forward immediately without any orders from the chief, killed the cheetah, rescued the cub, and then fled with the cub while being hunted by countless wild beasts, until the moment when the Beast God bestowed his blessing.

After getting through the most difficult stage, they wanted to take the cub to find her parents. After all, it is difficult for a newborn cub to survive without the care of its biological parents. Unfortunately, they ran too far when they were being chased. When they went back, they found that the cub's birthplace had long been deserted. Not to mention orcs, there was not even a hair.

Helplessly, these single men can only be forced to start their careers as parents.

Maybe this cub was not destined to die. Anyway, she was raised to the age of five.

As the cubs grew up, the Kandavi people gradually felt that life should not continue like this. They wanted to provide the cubs with a safer and more stable life. At this time, they accidentally discovered the existence of the Lili tribe.

Due to some bad memories from the past, they usually try to hide as far away as possible when faced with such a large tribe, especially a large tribe with a majority of carnivorous beast-type orcs. However, the Lili tribe's different way of settling attracted them.

Driven by curiosity, they hid in the distance and secretly watched them for a long time. They even noticed the Lili tribe earlier than the Xiayati tribe, but they just kept hiding and never showed up.

It was not until he witnessed how powerfully they guarded their cubs and saw how magically they cultivated the land and grew a lot of food that he could no longer hold back and took the initiative to step forward and ask to join them.

Through observations during this period, they firmly believed that after joining the Lili tribe, they would not only be able to obtain the protection of powerful tribesmen, but also be able to cultivate the land, obtain plenty of food, and provide better living conditions for their cubs.

"You guys can stay in the wooden house at the entrance of the village first."

Chi Li did not reject the Kandavi people who came to him on their own initiative. Looking at these strong men, even if they were not good at fighting, they were good at farming and working. It would definitely be worthwhile to join their tribe.

But just because others are familiar with them doesn't mean they are familiar with others, so some necessary observation procedures still have to be carried out. It's also a good opportunity for people from both tribes to get in touch with each other. It would be best if they can get along well, but if not, we can deal with it later.

"You can cultivate fields on the unowned wasteland outside. Now there is not enough time to grow staple food, so you can only grow some fast-growing vegetables. Our tribe can lend you seeds, but after the harvest you must hand over 20% of the harvest as compensation for the seeds." Chi Li said.

"Okay, thank you, Chief."

Even though they had not yet been formally accepted, Kang Dawei happily accepted the arrangement made by the new patriarch.

Seeing that they were obedient, Chi Li felt a little relieved.

She didn't want to attract a bunch of troublemakers. If that was the case, it would be better not to have it. (End of this chapter)
