"Isn't seizing territory dangerous?" Xie Yungui asked.
"But we can't not go, otherwise our people will go hungry," Leng Ran said bluntly.
Xie Yungui realized that this man was kind, upright, and also naive.
Xie Yungui looked at the handsome man, then at the little black snake that was wrapped around his arm and craning its neck to look at another father, and Xie Yungui was silent for a moment.
"What's your name?" Xie Yungui asked.
"My name is Leng Ran."
"Oh, my name is Xie Yungui, but the people in the tribe call me Agui," Xie Yungui introduced himself.
"Agui, Agui, your name is very beautiful."
"I won't go to your tribe with you. You may have a tribe, but you don't have territory, which means you won't have any food to eat," Xie Yungui said bluntly.
"Alright, I understand." It would be a lie to say that Leng Ran wasn't disappointed, but he wouldn't force the female; he would respect her wishes.
"However, you can bring your people to live here."
"What?" Leng Ran looked at Xie Yungui in disbelief.
"I told you you could bring your people to live here. As you can see, only the outer area is dangerous. The central area is quite safe, and there's plenty of prey. It's a good place. As for the Death Forest that others mentioned, it might be dangerous, but only in terms of the outer areas." Xie Yungui had just asked the system in his mind.
The system told him that the Death Forest was indeed dangerous, but this danger only applied to the outer perimeter.
Moreover, the reason why the Death Forest is considered dangerous is because its outer perimeter is swampy, with miasma and man-eating plants.
As long as you avoid the miasma and the man-eating plants, there will be no danger.
Moreover, the miasma concentration is highest at noon and in the afternoon, while there is no problem in the morning and evening, which can be avoided. This is an excellent living environment.
"You...you're willing to let me bring my people here?" Leng Ran asked incredulously.
"Well, this isn't my territory, why can't I?" If other orcs come in later, it's better to let the child's father come.
At the very least, he can still take care of the children to some extent.
"Okay, then I'll go back and fetch my people. Thank you, Agui."
"You're welcome!"
Xie Yungui was quite cold-blooded in his past life, but to be honest, no matter how cold-blooded he was, he was still a social animal and he didn't like a quiet life.
Although he now has a child, he still wants to live a completely different life; he wants to live the life of an ordinary person.
"Then I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, by the way, when you bring your people into the Forest of Death, try to come in before sunrise or after sunset to avoid encountering poisonous gas."
"Okay, thank you!"
Go!
Afterwards, Xie Yungui watched as Leng Ran transformed into a giant snake and then left.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, the visitor was his son's father.
Xie Yungui didn't know that he would lower his guard against this orc.
But to be honest, he still believed in the system; the system wouldn't let him die.
That evening, Xie Yungui thought about it and prepared to name his son.
"Son, how about Dad gives you a nice name?" Xie Yungui said, looking at the little black snake curled up in his arms.
"Okay, Daddy."
In this world, there are no surnames. Orcs choose their names arbitrarily. For example, some orcs might call themselves "Ashi" or "Atou" when they see a stone, and "Amu" when they see a tree.
Xie Yungui didn't want his son to have Leng Ran's surname or given name, as it didn't sound right with the other beastmen, but he still wanted it.
Snakes are cold-blooded animals, hence the surname Leng (meaning "cold"), and as for Ran (meaning "burning"), it's possible that it was inspired by something he saw.
"Then let's name you Leng Yi'an from now on." Xie Yungui thought for a moment and decided to let the child take the surname Leng.
That way, when he goes out to make his way in the world, people will know he's Leng Ran's son just by his name.
Females are not as intimidating as orcs in this world; their value lies in procreation.
Xie Yungui knew he didn't want to be that kind of female, but this world was too unfamiliar to him, and he had to think more about his son.
Between absolute strength and knowledge, the former is the most important.
"Daddy, I sound nice."
"Okay, good girl, from now on, I'll call you Xiao An."
"Okay!"
"Dad, will I be called Xiaoyang from now on?" Xie Chuyang asked.
"OK!"
The children didn't ask why one was surnamed Xie and the other Leng, and Xie Yungui didn't explain either.
Since Leng Yi'an and Xie Chuyang learned to talk, Xie Yungui has never been lonely. These two little guys can chatter away all day long.
To Earthlings, the sound of a wolf and a snake talking might seem like monsters, but to Xie Yungui, it was the most beautiful sound.
"Daddy, can I still have those smooth and fragrant eggs today?" Leng Yi'an asked.
"Of course, but Dad will make them for you tonight." Yesterday, Xie Yungui collected a lot of chicken and duck eggs from the grass next to the swamp.
Last night, he made steamed eggs for the kids, and both of them wanted them.
The eggs here are really big, as big as ostrich eggs.
Yesterday he only cracked one egg, and the three of them almost couldn't finish it. Moreover, the egg wasn't fishy at all and tasted delicious.
"Okay, thank you, Daddy."
Xie Yungui cleaned the cave thoroughly and then dried the animal hides.
Although the yard can get some sun, it is shaded by pine trees, so only a small part of it gets sunlight.
The rice that Xie Yungui brought back was hung on the railing on the other side.
It wasn't that he didn't want to continue picking, but the rice wasn't ripe yet and could be left for a while longer so he could pick it and store it for the snowy season.
Xie Yungui cooked rice, and then placed a wooden bowl on top of the rice, containing beaten egg liquid, to steam the eggs.
The wolf cub and the little black snake had very small appetites, so most of their food ended up in Xie Yungui's stomach.
At night, Xie Yungui coaxed the two children to sleep, while Leng Ran was rushing towards Wangshan Tribe.
After several sleepless days, Leng Ran returned to the cave where his people lived.
"The clan leader is back! The clan leader is really back!" The little raccoon cubs and rabbit cubs were overjoyed to see Leng Ran return.
In the children's hearts, the return of the chieftain meant that they could eat. Children are simple-minded and don't think about so many things.
The other clansmen breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Leng Ran return, because to be honest, they were afraid; they were afraid that they would lose their last support.
