Go to the primitive tribe to farm and raise cubs
Chapter 119 The Picturesque Boy
Chapter 119 The Picturesque Boy
Under the night, the tiger tribe tribe was calm, but many people started to run outside, and the tribe and tribe chased and killed along the way, and the crater erupted, and I don't know how many orcs were displaced.
Although there are orcs who have found a place to live, few problems have been found, and each orc has a very large territory, which is similar to the tiger tribe at the moment. Although it looks small, the problem is almost the size of a city.
Under such circumstances, although it can be given to others to live in, no one will give it up. This is the most important thing in this era.
Under the night, several races robbed the territory and chased them down. People from the Snake Tribe also joined in. The Snake Tribe did not go to the Tiger Tribe to settle accounts for the time being.
Thirty females were lost last time, so of course they will get them back this time. The desperate orcs were found around, and they were intercepted by the Snake tribe without saying a word, trying to snatch the females and young females.
The grown-up females are taken back to give birth to babies, and the young females are thrown away to raise, and they will become daughter-in-laws when they grow up. People in the snake tribe are more indulgent than the tiger tribe, and there are powerful snake tribe orcs, who almost occupy one or two of them. A female is used as a tool for venting.
Under such circumstances, the female didn't dislike many. She had a few orcs on her back, and she was still holding a child. She stumbled to the outside of the city wall of the Tiger Tribe. When she saw the huge city wall, she hadn't reacted yet.
At the beginning, I just thought it was a mountain, but isn't the mountain too weird, as if it was built by others?
"Who are you?" Qian Shui and the others on the tower immediately said, and the people below raised their heads to look at the people on the tower with pale faces after hearing this.
A few young little orcs came, the oldest looked about 16 years old, the youngest was about 12 years old, with several dolls in their arms, not only that, but also a few little females standing tremblingly On the side, it seems that he has gone through a fierce battle and ran away.
Who can make them suffer?Qian Shui and the others soon understood that it was probably the Snake Tribe, and the orcs below said, "We don't have any malicious intentions, we just want to take a rest here and ask for a sip of water."
The old little orc said, his face was still stained with blood, his body looked miserable, his silvery hair in the dark night was stained red with blood, he looked very pitiful.
He had no choice but to ask for help, "We can keep the female, as long as you treat us kindly, we will leave immediately."
"Brother..." A little female at the side turned pale. When she looked at the boy, her eyes turned red. Gu Yue looked at her brother and said, "Don't you want us?"
"No, if this continues, you will all be snatched away by the Snake Tribe." Guhu said, and his father, uncle and others tried their best to save them.
Question They don't know where to go?He just ran to this side following his father's words, and his father asked him to come to the Tiger tribe, because his mother was a female of the Tiger tribe, so he asked for help in this situation.
After hearing this, Qian Shui looked at the females below, "You are from the Fox Tribe." The girls from the Fox Tribe looked very charming, and many of them couldn't help but shine.
"Go and give them water." Qian Shui has no reason to reject the females. Of course, it's fine for the Snake Tribe. He tricked them several times. The Fox Tribe is okay, especially the females are very beautiful.
Hearing this, the people around immediately went to get water, and they were looking for someone, but they were looking for someone else, it was Huo Qiu, Huo Qiu fell in love with his wife in the middle of the night, and was woken up.
He directly wrapped a piece of animal skin, opened the door with bare feet, "Is there an enemy on the other side of the tower?" Huo Qiu immediately became serious when he saw the person coming.
"No, a few cubs from the Tiger tribe came here. It seems that they were beaten by the Snake tribe and said they wanted to keep the females." When looking at Huoqiu, the reporting race said.
"Female?" The Tiger Tribe still lacked females, so of course they needed them, and they went out immediately, and when they went out, they came directly to the city wall.
He didn't wear much clothes, only a piece of animal skin was wrapped around his waist, which was empty, and then looked at the few cubs below, there were about ten of them, "There are still dolls." Qian Shui said.
"Little baby? That's not for raising." Hearing this, Huo Qiu felt that it was not worthwhile. Those around ten years old are fine, but how many years are too young to raise?That was unrealistic, and he couldn't help frowning immediately.
The lonely fox below looked at Huoqiu and the people on the tower. He became a little nervous and restless. Now he has no way to go to other places. To no return.
On the other side is the territory of the Leopard Tribe and the Lion Tribe, which is also a place to deceive people, not to mention that they are still little orcs trekking mountains and rivers, and the females can't stand it at all and will die on the road.
When Huo Qiu looked down, "Give me something to eat, I'm throwing some old animal skins down, I have to discuss it." The little female is too small.
Who is willing to raise it, if the other party only comes to fame at the age of fifteen or sixteen, how deceitful it is, how much do you have to eat?It's not worth it, but I can give it up... The following females are reluctant to bear it when they see that they are about to age.
Qian Shui nodded, "When the time comes, the little female, ask the human race if you want it, and the small human race will be happy to raise it." Qian Shui thinks that the human race wants it, and he wants it too.
"Human race is necessary, but it's troublesome. It's good to be small. I'm most afraid of raising it and running away with others in the future. Do you think it's not a loss for human race?" .
After raising the doll, it was hard for her son to turn into a beast, but the problem son failed to turn into a beast, and the little female immediately ran away with others without saying a word, and there was no place to reason.
Those of the Snake Tribe are different, they are all older, if they really dare to go to the time to smoke, the problem is to raise a baby, after more than ten years, who knows what will happen?
Qian Shui stopped talking when he heard this. This incident caused a sensation in the entire Tiger tribe. The female ran away with a member of the Leopard tribe. When she left, she kept saying that it was the family who wanted to kill her.
The problem is that she was raised in vain and fat, but in the end she ran away because someone else's son couldn't turn into a beast. How heartbreaking, of course, there are extenuating circumstances, but emotionally, there is no way to accept it.
Several orcs from the fox tribe, when they heard the words, sat down directly, covered the females with animal skins, looked at the dried meat that came down, gave some to the females, and ate some for themselves.
"Brother, they don't seem to want it, the younger ones..." Gu Yue looked at her elder brother and said, the tribe all wanted the older ones, and the younger ones refused.
When he heard these words, Guhu said, "Don't worry, I have a solution. At worst, we will be slaves inside and support you..."
"Brother, that's very miserable. Our fox tribe also has slaves. They can't eat enough to wear clothes, and they will be beaten. Brother, let's leave here and go to other places. I don't believe there is no place to settle down." Fox tribe Before the crater erupted, there was a large tribe.
After the volcano erupted, one-third of the tribesmen died, lost contact while running away, scattered fox tribes, females were forcibly taken away, and all orcs were killed.
The next day, Huo Qiu began to discuss it not far away, and finally discussed it several times, but the small humans also hesitated.
How can a person not work?It's not okay to have an old father in the house, how can I say...how can the old father bathe the doll?
Under such circumstances, he could only refuse, and under such circumstances, Guhu said, "Then we can serve as slaves to the tribe."
"Slave?" Huo Qiu frowned when he heard this. Slaves are not bad. He asked the little doll of the Fox tribe to play tricks, and quickly smiled.
It’s impossible for these little cubs to play tricks. The problem is that the tiger tribe’s animal shape is not good enough.
The problem is not good here, they don't know what they want these little cubs for?The female gave birth to a baby, and the orcs came in and hooked up with the female, then they were at a loss.
Looking at the appearance of that little boy, his features are clear and charming. Which orc in the village has these little boys, especially those females who look at the orcs first.
"It's not impossible. The problem is that you are not allowed to enter the village. Let us dig something outside, and then we will provide you with food. Females can enter the village to collect." Huo Qiu thought for a while, and immediately thought of something.
Let these little cubs go to mine. The fox orcs, the beasts are about half smaller than the tiger orcs, so it's just right to sneak into that side to mine.
When he heard this, Guhu was slightly taken aback, but he also gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, what do you want us to do?"
The lonely fox knew in his heart that they had nowhere to go, and they were not far away. Although there were leopard tribes and lion tribes, the problem was that they were too far away. If they really wanted to get close to the road, the wild beasts would tear them apart. only to stay.
Hearing this, Huo Qiu nodded, and asked Qian Shui to clean up the house for the subordinates. As for the females who had a miserable life outside, they would go to the village to marry, and he was not in a hurry.
If Haitang knew what Huo Qiu was thinking, she would secretly scold him for wanting to be an empty-handed wolf, which is really a good way.
Guhu and the others breathed a sigh of relief. The small room was just right for a few children. There was only a table and a stove outside. There was an empty cauldron and some food. The meat was leftovers.
Under such circumstances, the few people looked at it without disgust, "What is the white powder used for?" Guhu raised his head and said, he knows the people of the Tiger tribe, and he doesn't value their life or death.
"For those who come to make the dough, you go down and teach." The door opened during the day, and some people nodded, and went to teach directly. Gu Yue was very serious when she was twelve or thirteen years old.
I gave the people hot noodles, and then a few children sat down and ate them. When Gu Yue and the others were holding the bowl, they cried.
"That, don't cry, give me the red fruit..." Qian Shui sighed, and took a basket of red fruit to the people outside.
"Our tribe is not a big tribe. You have to understand... We are doing our best to you. If you want others, we will drive them away." What's more, Qian Shui didn't understand.
They can snatch a few females from Guyue and go back, and kill others. It's not that no tribe has done it, and the reason why the Tiger tribe didn't do it.
Just adhering to the fact that my own tribe is also a weak and small race, I feel a little bit sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox, so I feel sorry for it.
"En." Gu Yue nodded, and stopped talking while eating, Qian Shui and the others didn't say much, and went straight to eat.
The lonely fox put a few girls to sleep, and then guarded by himself, while the other orcs also fell into a drowsy sleep. When they woke up, they saw the little goshawk not far away on the city wall.
The little goshawk looks to be about nine years old, eating the food given by those people, looking at the people below, "That's so beautiful." Behind Gu Yue is a little girl, carved in powder and jade, with a very delicate appearance.
Qian Shui slapped him, "Damn you, you're only nine years old and you're thinking of a wife?" Qian Shui felt that this kid wanted a wife.
The freshman scratched his head, looked at the little female below, and nodded shyly, "She is beautiful, good-looking..." Especially behind Lonely Moon with piercing eyes, let alone how lovable it is.
"..." Qian Shui stopped talking, but rubbed the freshman's head, and then smiled maliciously, "You can't hunt by yourself now, all you eat is from the tribe, you can raise this girl Don’t you say you don’t eat, if you don’t eat, then your physical strength will be delayed and you won’t be able to work hard, and it depends on how the boss will deal with you.”
The eldest is Huo Qiu, and when he heard this, he nodded his head a little bit, knowing in his heart that it was better to forget it, and after eating directly, he turned into a little goshawk and wandered around again.
Haitang also heard a lot of discussion on the other side, and thought about going to see the little females and little orcs outside. They all said that they were beautiful vixens, and they had to look at them no matter what.
Haitang directly climbed up the city wall, and looked at the female and the little orc working below, "What a handsome little lady, so pretty..." The lonely fox is pretty, just like the little lady who came out of the painting.
Silver-white hair, a little golden pupils, wherever he stands, he looks like someone in a comic book, he is very good-looking, he was embarrassed last night and cleaned up today, secretly looking like a beautiful boy.
Dongfang Long also followed, directly holding Haitang's face, "You still say I'm pretty! I'm pretty Tangtang, I'm prettier than him!" Dongfang Long became jealous, and Haitang became embarrassed.
"You are different from that little doll. He looks like a porcelain doll and holds... like a flower. You... are my man, tall and handsome, and a good material for a beastman." Haitang said.
My husband is a tough handsome guy, those downstairs are handsome little lolita and little Zhengtai, they are all different types, how can we compare them?
Of course, she was blaming Auntie, she just looked at Mrs. Xiaozheng, she had no intention of being tempted, but at this moment, Qian Shui was eating dried sweet potatoes, and looked at Haitang.
I thought to myself, sure enough, Boss Huoqiu was right not to let people in. Just look at Haitang's eyes, and when those bastards come in, even if they bring a few females in, the problem will be hooked up. If a few females go away, they will lose blood.
