Chapter 57 Chapter 57
Deer Frost Awakens
After Yu Ji left in a hurry, Lang Yu finally had the opportunity to ask Bao Qiu about the priest's abilities.
Bao Qiu gathered up the animal skins he had spread on the ground, rolled them up and put them in his backpack. He recalled what happened in the Wushan tribe and the several withered vines that attacked him. He pondered, "The ability of the Wushan priest is the same as ours, but he doesn't seem to be as powerful as ours."
Lang Yu asked, "How do you say that?"
Bao Qiu recalled it carefully. Although he was a little surprised by the similar ability at that time, he was in a hurry to save people and didn't think about anything else. But he did not forget the actions of the Wushan tribe priest when he attacked him.
"When he attacked me, he withdrew the dead vines that bound the Wushan tribe members. It was as if he didn't have the extra strength to control the other dead vines." Bao Qiu thought of the way their priests used their abilities when the beasts were wet. "Our priests' ability to control trees can even deal with the beast tide."
"Hearing what you said, it seems that the priest of Wushan tribe is not that powerful?" Lang Yu smacked his lips, a little proud, "Why is the priest of Yu tribe so scared?"
"Even if he's not as powerful as the priest, I still feel scared when I see him." Bao Qiu glanced at the four children behind him, "Why else do you think I saved them?"
This Lang Yu really didn't know, "Why save?"
Bao Qiu waved his hand, "There's no time to talk. Go back and pack your things quickly and follow the Yu tribe to the Haina tribe to trade."
"Fine."
After Lang Yu left, Bao Qiu packed up his things faster.
He didn't have much stuff to begin with.
There was a slight noise behind him. Bao Qiu looked keenly and found that it was the sound of four children standing up.
Judging from his appearance, he probably couldn't resist the temptation of the broth and wanted to drink it.
Bao Qiu raised his eyebrows frivolously, and after just one glance he turned his head and continued to busy himself with his own things.
The four children wanted to retreat at first when Bao Qiu looked at them, but when he just looked at them without saying anything, the little courage they had been scared away from before returned again. They walked quickly to the stone table, picked up the four bowls of meat soup on the table, and drank from them.
The broth was a little cold now, and the taste was not as good as before, and even a little greasy. But it was this greasy feeling that made the children, who had not tasted meat for a long time, very greedy.
They drank the broth quickly and noisily, and the cave was filled with the sound of slurping. The Leopard Autumn orcs were high level, and could even hear faint bowel sounds mixed in with the sounds.
The broth was quickly finished, and the children could not help but lick the bowl clean. They were like nasty little animals that finally got their food and were reluctant to leave even the bones.
Bao Qiu heard the sound of the pottery bowl being placed on the stone table, and then he spoke: "Now that you have finished drinking the broth, get ready and follow me back to my tribe later. You should have heard it before, you must follow me if you want to survive. Because your priest will not let you go."
Of course the children knew what kind of person their priest was, so they did not resist at all. They nodded gently, then hung their heads and said nothing.
Bao Qiu looked at the four messy little heads and couldn't help but sigh. His voice unconsciously lowered a little. "The orcs from the Yu tribe will send us back, so we will fly in the sky, far away from the ground, in a very high place."
He paused, and said uncomfortably, "Don't be afraid, I will sit with you."
After hearing what Bao Qiu said, the children all raised their heads tremblingly and looked at Bao Qiu cautiously.
Although there was some timidity in his eyes, they were not as fearful and defensive as they were at the beginning.
Bao Qiu felt even more uncomfortable being stared at by these four pairs of clear eyes. He turned his head and muttered, "Why hasn't the priest of the Yu tribe come to call them to set off yet?"
If Yu Ji heard what Bao Qiu said, he would definitely smile and shake his head, pretending to blame and saying, "It's all because of you priests."
The last time the Yu tribe sent kelp to the Mu tribe, they brought back many large backpacks and something called a fishing net.
The orcs who went to the Wood Tribe came back and explained to the tribe how to use the thing called a fishing net.
This aroused everyone's curiosity, and they all wanted to go to the beach to try it out to see if it was really as the priest of the Wood Tribe said, that they only needed to grab the fishing net and fly it around the sea to easily catch a lot of fish.
In the past, every time they went fishing, they had to hover over the sea for a long time and seize the right moment to catch those nimble fish.
If this fishing net really works, then it would be very easy for them to catch fish in the future.
Moreover, according to the orcs who have been to the Wood Tribe, the fish in their tribe are very delicious. The broth made from those fish tastes better than the broth made from other meats.
The Yu tribe is different from other tribes. The prey they hunt on land is limited, so they don't care about the bad taste of fish.
They have become accustomed to the bitter taste of fish, as well as the hard, difficult-to-chew scales and bones that get stuck in the throat, and have always thought that this is what fish is like.
Suddenly I heard someone say that the fish meat was very soft, not hard at all, and tasted especially delicious, but I obviously didn't believe it.
But the tribesmen would not use this to deceive them. What's more, all the tribesmen who have been to the Mu tribe said it was delicious, so it must be delicious.
This time when they came back, they had many large backpacks again. Last time, because there were not enough backpacks, only the hunting team went to the beach.
With enough large backpacks this time, all the stronger orcs in the Feather Tribe flew to the seaside. In addition to wanting to collect more kelp to eat, they also wanted to try out whether the fishing net was really that powerful, but more importantly, they wanted to help the Wood Tribe collect shell meat.
They heard from Yingya that he exchanged the shelled meat he collected for the Wood Tribe for the best animal skins.
However, Yingya treasured the animal skins he exchanged so much that he hid them in his cave and did not let anyone see them. According to the tribesmen who went with Yingya, the animal skins he exchanged were all quite large.
Pick out any one of them and wrap it around yourself in winter. You will definitely not feel cold at all. Just looking at it will make you feel warm.
After hearing what they said, the people of the Yu Tribe also wanted to exchange large animal skins with the Mu Tribe.
So this time, when the Yu tribe had enough large backpacks, everyone rushed to the beach to pick up shell meat.
I thought of taking the shell meat to the Mu tribe to exchange for large animal skins, so that I could wrap them around my body in the winter to keep them warm.
As a result, most of the orcs of the Yu tribe had left, and it was quite difficult to find a few more who could take Bao Qiu and the others flying.
Yu Ji picked out a few stronger orc warriors from the remaining ones, explained the reasons to them, and then sent someone to notify Bao Qiu and Lang Yu to prepare to set off.
…
Bao Qiu sat steadily on the back of the orc of the Feather Tribe, letting the four children sit close to him and not too far apart, so that he could protect them all.
When leaving the tribe and going to another place, even adult orcs will have many fears in their hearts. They are afraid of the unknown future and feel uncomfortable leaving the familiar environment.
But apart from being a little afraid of heights at the beginning, these four children never showed any fear or other negative emotions.
The four of them kept their heads down and remained silent. No one knew what they were thinking.
When the orcs of the Yu tribe flew over the Wushan tribe, they looked down with some reaction, but soon retracted their gaze and sat quietly and obediently.
——
Lu Shuang felt a powerful yet gentle force looming in his body, but when he wanted to sense it, the force disappeared.
This made Lu Shuang a little anxious. He always felt that this power was very familiar and important. He was eager to grab it, but the more anxious he was, the faster the power disappeared.
Soon, Lu Shuang could no longer sense that power, and he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked.
“Don’t…don’t run!”
The unconscious Lu Shuang suddenly shouted, startling Tu Dong who was watching over him.
"Finally he woke up." Tudong muttered, feeling relieved.
Lu Shuang, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally opened her eyes. Tu Dong hurriedly asked someone to invite Shen Nong over.
She was not idle either. She first checked Lu Shuang carefully. Finding that there was nothing serious, she told Lu Shuang not to move around.
After saying that, he went outside to see if the medicine that Lu Shuang was going to drink had been prepared.
Lu Shuang didn't expect that he was still alive. When the giant tree pressed down on him, the intense pain swept through his body, causing him to lose consciousness instantly. He thought he was dead...
Lu Shuang felt a slight pain in his legs. He propped himself up and sat up. After seeing his intact legs, Lu Shuang became even more confused.
He remembered that the huge tree just pressed down on his lower body. If he hadn't run fast, his whole body would have been crushed.
But his legs are fine now. Could it be that I remembered it wrong?
But except for the pain in my legs, I don't feel any pain anywhere else on my body. What's going on?
When Tudong came in with the medicine, he saw Lu Shuang supporting himself on the wooden bed with his hands, his head shaking from side to side, looking left and right at his legs that could not move.
She put down the medicine bowl in her hand angrily, "Didn't I tell you not to move? The priest took a lot of effort to restore your legs to this state.
The priest said that your leg has not fully recovered yet, and the bones inside need to be taken care of and allowed to grow properly, so you can't move around. But you start to move around as soon as you wake up. If you can't walk anymore, what will you do?"
Lu Shuang stopped moving immediately and lay back obediently, but his eyes were still fixed on Tu Dong's figure.
He thought about what Tu Dong had just said and expressed his doubts. "After the giant tree fell on me, I thought my legs would be crushed into mud. But now, except that I can't move my legs and they hurt a little, they are no different from before, as if I had never been injured."
Lu Shuang was full of doubts and couldn't imagine how his legs recovered. He could only ask Tu Dong, "What method did the priest use to restore my legs?"
Tu Dong looked serious and said, "Our priests know magic. Your leg was healed by the priests using magic."
When Lu Shuang heard this, her whole body stiffened for a moment.
Divine magic?
Could it be that the powerful force he sensed when he was unconscious was due to the magic cast by the priest?
Because he is awake now, that mysterious and powerful force has disappeared.
Lu Shuang thought it made sense, so he stopped thinking about it. He just hoped that his leg would get better soon, so that he could continue to learn how to make a crossbow from Shi Xia.
When Shen Nong arrived, Lu Shuang had just been forced to drink a bowl of bitter medicine by Tu Dong.
Lu Shuang, who was feeling bitter in her mouth, frowned and cried to Shen Nong: "The life of a priest is so miserable!"
Shen Nong chuckled, "Good medicine tastes bitter. Your leg will heal faster after drinking it."
Knowing that this bitter water could help her legs recover faster, Lu Shuang no longer found it so difficult to accept the taste.
Shen Nong checked Lu Shuang's body again and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her and that she just needed to be well cared for.
In addition to examining Lu Shuang, he also wanted to ask about the power that suddenly erupted in his body.
That power could propel his spirit core to break through and advance, and it gave him the feeling of interstellar water-based superpowers. This made Shen Nong feel a little strange. Did spirit cores and superpowers also exist in the beast world?
"When I healed your wounds, I discovered that there was a power in you. Do you know why?"
Lu Shuang's eyes widened. What? There really was a powerful force in his body? Was it not the magic of the priest?
