Chapter 59 Prey in the Snow
"What did you say? You found snow hares? And a lot of snow hares?" Fox asked excitedly, because he was also starving.
"Yes, it's snow rabbits, lots of snow rabbits!" Fox Strong said, his heart burning with excitement.
Being able to eat enough snow hares during the snowy season would be ideal. Although hare meat doesn't have as much energy as the meat of other prey, snow hare blood is very nutritious.
Because of the unique geographical environment and climate, the blood of snow hares is more nutritious during the snow season. If they can catch snow hares, the orcs of their tribe, including the females, have a chance to survive.
"But that's the Forest of Death after all!" Fox was still hesitant; the name of the Forest of Death had always intimidated all the orc tribes.
"Chieftain, but it's the snow season now. During the snow season, many animals don't come out. Everything is covered in snow. What danger could there be? If you ask me, the safest time in the Death Forest is the snow season. Think about it, there are tribes living in the Death Forest. How did they survive?"
"To be honest, the Death Forest isn't that dangerous; it's all exaggerated." Ever since Fox Qiang heard the news the Winged Beastmen had gathered, he had been extremely curious about the Death Forest.
"Furthermore, Chieftain, our fox clan is one of the most cold-resistant races during the snowy season. Although it gets cold, we are more resistant to cold than other tribes. So, we should go and hunt snow rabbits. It's better than starving to death like this." Fox Qiang was really hungry. He was going to die soon anyway, so why should he care about anything else?
If the chieftain is unwilling, he will go and hunt it himself. The Death Forest is dangerous, but isn't starving to death dangerous too?
They are both in the same danger, but at least the former has a chance to survive.
"I think Fox Strong is right. We can't just sit here and wait to die. Yesterday, several more females starved to death," the priest said.
"Alright, let's organize some people and go catch the snow rabbit." Fox Da finally agreed.
The news that the tribe was going to hunt snow hares spread instantly, and the females were overjoyed, as if they had seen a glimmer of hope for survival.
The stored grass and wild vegetables, even if they were hard to eat, were almost gone. They were starving every day, and some of the weaker females could no longer resist going to see the Beast God.
All they wanted was to survive. If they could survive, they would definitely store up more wild vegetables and herbs next year, so that at least they could hold on a little longer.
The fox clan then entered the Death Forest and indeed caught many wild rabbits. They discovered that the Death Forest wasn't dangerous at all; at most, they would encounter some snow puddles or the like.
However, these snow foams are used almost everywhere during the snowy season.
Moreover, there were not only snow rabbits, but also snow foxes and squirrels, which made the orcs of the fox tribe extremely happy.
They eventually returned home with a full load.
The fox tribe was bustling with activity again, a rare occurrence. The beastmen drank their fill of beast blood while hunting, replenishing their energy and finally recovering considerably.
The females also received some meat, and finally they could have a decent meal.
"Haha, chieftain, what do you think? I told you, the Death Forest during the snow season isn't dangerous because the prey are all hiding."
"Yes, the Death Forest in the snowy season is not only not dangerous, but also has abundant prey. This snowy season, we can finally survive." Fox was also very happy.
For several days in a row, the beastmen of the fox tribe returned with full loads, and they no longer had to worry about food.
However, gradually, they ran out of prey on the outer perimeter, so they could only move closer to the inner perimeter.
In the past few days, Xie Yungui and his people have also captured quite a few snow foxes and snow rabbits.
The tribe's offspring all drank the beast's blood, and each little one was nourished to the point of being glossy and healthy.
"Xiao An, come on, drink some beast blood, it's good for your health." Xie Yungui brought back the snow rabbit that had been half-dead, waiting for his little black snake to drink some as well.
Since the start of the snow season, the little black snake has been mostly asleep, only waking up when it needs to eat.
"Daddy, I'm sleepy!" the little black snake said listlessly.
"Daddy knows. Come on, drink some beast blood, then you can continue sleeping. Otherwise, you won't grow up." Xie Yungui threatened the cub.
"Okay, Dad, I want to grow up, I don't want to be skinny." Leng Yi'an said, and got up.
Xie Yungui hugged him, her brows furrowing. Why was he so cold?
However, considering the characteristics of the snake race, I felt relieved.
He placed the little black snake next to his prey. The snake crawled onto the snow hare's neck and then bit down on its vein.
Before long, the little black snake was full, its belly bulging, but the snow rabbit was still alive. Because the little black snake's appetite was so small, that tiny bit of blood was like a small tube of blood being drawn from a person.
"Chuyang, come here and have some. Your brother can't finish it!"
"Okay, Daddy!" Xie Chuyang ran over and then bit the snow rabbit's throat with a "whoosh" and drank his fill.
Finally, the snow rabbit stopped breathing, and Xie Chuyang let out a burp.
"You and your brother stay home and don't go out. It's too cold outside. Dad will go cook." It's already the middle of the snow season, and it's really very cold.
It was too cold to weave cloth at the public housing, so in the end, they had to move back to their own house to weave cloth.
Fortunately, it fits, but it's a bit cramped when walking around, so you have to be careful or you might trip and fall.
Leng Ran led his people out hunting again. Everyone was happy that they could hunt even during the snow season.
Xie Yungui blanched the rabbit's hands, preparing to stir-fry a spicy rabbit dish.
Xie Yungui scooped a large spoonful of lard into the stone pot, then added chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, scallions, ginger, and garlic to sauté until fragrant.
A delicious aroma wafted out as Ah Feng and Ah Ming washed dried vegetables nearby.
"Chief Agui, your cooking is really delicious, none of us can compare to you."
"You'll all be doing this in the future, practice makes perfect!" Actually, it's just that there was enough seasoning.
"In the past, during the snow season, we would eat a few bites of vegetable leaves when we were hungry, and grab a handful of snow to eat when we were thirsty. I still remember that feeling. My stomach was always ice cold. I would hold my stomach and it would take a long, long time to recover."
"That's right. If we don't eat, we'll be hungry; if we eat, we'll suffer. Many of us females developed stomach aches when it gets cold during the snowy season, and we still haven't fully recovered."
"There are also females who give birth during the snowy season. As soon as they are born, the babies are frozen solid. If the baby's father doesn't keep them warm, both the baby and the mother will die."
As Xie Yungui listened to their rambling conversation, he sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "This is truly an earth-shattering ordeal."
