Chapter 23 Millet Pepper
Hot Fruit
After Shen Nong formed a blood pact with Bao Qiu, he used his special powers to heal Bao Qiu's injuries.
A light green halo passed over the wound, and new flesh began to grow on the festering wound.
The pain was replaced by a slight itch, and soon the bloody wound was covered with pale pink new flesh.
Bao Qiu's pupils constricted as he looked at the quickly healing wounds in disbelief, as if a miracle had happened.
Deep down, he was grateful that the priest of the Wood Tribe agreed to form a blood pact with him, and at the same time he became even more awed by the priest of the Wood Tribe.
If someone had told him before he had seen it with his own eyes that there was someone in the world who could quickly heal rotten and festering wounds, Bao Qiu would have said it was impossible, and that no one in the world could do it except the Beast God.
Bao Qiu looked at the healed wounds, and felt more hope in rescuing Lang Yu and the others.
Although the other injuries on his body were serious, they could be healed. His special ability could stimulate the regeneration of muscle tissue cells, so the healing speed was very fast.
But Bao Qiu's leg injury was too severe and his bones were broken by the huge force.
Shen Nong took a lot of effort to reconnect it, but if he wants it to heal, he can only do it slowly by regulating his supernatural powers every day.
After connecting Bao Qiu's leg bones, Shen Nong lost his strength and fell down.
Ze was quick to support the man. Shen Nong was already extremely tired. He leaned weakly on Ze's shoulder for support and did not fall.
Ze, who half-hugged Shen Nong's slender waist, had his muscles tense and his body stiff.
Shen Nong felt that it would be more appropriate to say that he was leaning on a wooden stake rather than on a person.
…
The first batch of bricks had already been fired and were being used to build the city wall. The second batch had also been fired and was just waiting for the temperature in the kiln to drop before being taken out.
As autumn approaches, the hunting team stops going out to hunt and all follow Shen Nong to the river to fish.
The gathering team now only has teenagers and children who have not yet awakened. In addition to going out to gather fruits and wild vegetables every day, they also have to follow Tu Dong to gather herbs. The task is very heavy.
The task of building the city wall had to be handed over to the guard team.
Because of his leg injury, Bao Qiu could not go out with the hunting and gathering teams, so he was assigned to the guard team to build the wall.
The straw rope is stretched straight to position it, the sheep thunder is attached to the rope, and the clay is piled up layer by layer and brick by brick.
"The priest is really amazing. Not only can he turn soil into jars, he can also turn soil into stone."
Yang Dian carefully scraped off the excess clay with a piece of wood and smoothed the brick surface. "That's right. As long as the priest is here, our tribe will get better and better."
Yang Lei glanced at Bao Qiu who was not far away, then moved closer to Yang Dian and whispered, "During the previous beast tide, Hu Xiao and his men were bullied by Bao Qiu a lot. Why do you think the priests wanted to make a blood pact with the people of the Salt Department?"
Yang Dian looked straight ahead, his hands moving non-stop, "No matter what he was like before, now that he has formed a blood pact with the priest, he is a member of the Wood Tribe. Moreover, he is a level 7 orc warrior. Which tribe would refuse a level 7 orc warrior to join?"
"You're right." Yang Lei stood back in his position and rebuilt the wall. "When Bao Qiu recovers from his injury, I will challenge him. Hu Xiao is very busy now and has no time to fight with me."
Challenging each other among tribal orcs is one of their few entertainment activities. In the past, the Mu tribe was too hungry to have the strength to fight, but now they are too busy to have time.
Bao Qiu was concentrating on building a wall for the tribe with a wooden board between his legs and a square "stone" in his hand. He had no idea that he had been unilaterally booked for the challenge.
Ever since the Ze tribe was defeated in the last battle, the Mu tribe has never encountered patrols from the Ze tribe again when they went to the river to fish.
When it comes to fishing, Shen Nong is very familiar with it.
After learning how big the fish were in primitive society, he hunted them without mercy.
Hu Xiao and his friends go into the water every day to catch fish, and because they have been in the water for too long, there are faint signs of hair loss.
The number of fish skin threads, fish skin clothes, fish skin pants, fish skin shoes and pickled fish meat in the tribe is also gradually increasing.
The old people sewed non-stop every day, and several bone needles were broken.
Shen Nong specially set aside several earthen houses as warehouses for the tribe, filling them with winter supplies.
Salt, fish skin clothing, tanned animal hides, pickled meats, jams, dried fruits, everything you can think of.
Shen Nong led the hunting team back from the river, and it was another great harvest.
At least another fifty sets of fish skin clothing can be made.
When the fish were almost processed, Tudong led the gathering team back to the tribe.
As usual, Tu Dong gave the collected herbs to Shen Nong for review.
The various herbs in the backpack were poured onto the ground, and Shen Nong squatted down to look through them. Suddenly, he was attracted by a red shadow, so he pushed aside a few isatis roots and dug out the red shadow trapped inside.
After seeing it clearly, Shen Nong couldn't contain his surprise. He held the slender millet pepper in his hand and asked Tu Dong, "Where did you find this?"
Tu Dong, who was collecting herbs at the side, took a look at something in Shen Nong's hand and said, "This is the Rere Fruit. In the past, in the winter when there were no animal skins to wear, the gathering teams would gather a lot of Rere Fruit in advance and store them. Eating it will make your body hot and sweat."
"I wanted to pick some hot fruits today, but I thought about the many animal skins in the tribe, so I didn't pick any."
It turns out that chili peppers here are called "rereguo", which is quite an accurate description.
Shen Nong was very happy to have one more seasoning. "Let's go out with the collection team tomorrow and bring back more hot fruits."
Tu Dong said with some embarrassment: "Priest, do you want to eat the hot fruit? Although it can make the body warm, it will hurt your mouth if you eat it. If you eat too much, your stomach will also hurt, which is very uncomfortable."
Shen Nong held the chili pepper in his palm and said, "It's not for eating raw, but for cooking. Don't worry, it won't give you a stomachache, and it will taste good."
Thinking of how the priest could always make unpalatable things taste delicious, Rabbit Dong secretly swallowed his saliva and said with great anticipation: "I will definitely pick more hot fruits tomorrow!"
After Tudong left, Baoqiu walked over with the help of a cane.
This walking stick was made by Shen Nong on a whim. He used a burnt branch to draw mortise and tenon structures on the wood piece and asked Hu Xiao to make it for him.
I didn't expect it to be so strong. Baoqiu has been supporting it and walking around these days without any damage.
"Priest, there are only ten days left for the cannibals' autumn trading period. When are we going to the Salt Department to rescue Lang Yu and the others?"
Shen Nong sighed slightly. Bao Qiu had been repeating the same thing in his ear every day for the past few days.
The only difference is the Cannibal Fall Trading Day time.
Shen Nong never thought about going to the Ministry of Salt to rescue people from the beginning. A lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
The number of orcs above level six in the Salt Tribe is more than three times that of the Wood Tribe. If he takes people to the Salt Tribe, he will be sending his heads thousands of miles away.
"Don't go to the Salt Department, go straight to the Cannibal Tribe."
Bao Qiu was shocked when he heard this and said, "Priests cannot enter the cannibal tribe. The blood of the cannibal priests will suppress the orcs from transforming!"
For Bao Qiu, the orcs’ bloodlines were suppressed in the battle and they could not transform, so they were doomed to die.
Not only Bao Qiu, but all the orcs think so.
Shen Nong disagreed. He believed that other tribes were not so much afraid of the cannibals as they were afraid of the blood suppression of the cannibal priests.
He hadn't originally planned to fight in beast form, so he was afraid of nothing.
The tribe’s catapults and crossbows are not just for decoration.
What's more, after Hu Xiao and his friends finished fishing recently, they all went to the waterfall for training.
The warehouse was completely filled today, and they practiced all day long afterwards.
He was practicing the deadly killing moves he learned from the interstellar army.
Even though he had trained with the army for two months in Interstellar, he was still vulnerable in front of the Interstellar Troopers.
But now is a primitive society, the orcs have never been exposed to any technical combat, and they are incredibly strong.
The combination of skills and absolute physical strength that spans centuries may not be able to defeat the transformed orc warriors.
But if you fight against cannibals who only use brute force, you may not necessarily lose.
But Bao Qiu didn't know all this, and because of the blood contract, he had to be absolutely loyal and obedient to Shen Nong.
The other people in the Mu tribe live happily every day and even make some jam to drink when they have nothing to do.
Only Bao Qiu was gloomy all day long.
It was not until the arrival of autumn, when the tribe held the orc awakening ceremony, that the dark clouds above Leopard Autumn's head suddenly became much lighter.
