Chapter 62 Chapter 62
"Priest, stop touching me."
Yu Bei felt herself enveloped by the extremely fragrant smell, tempting her to drink it quickly.
She hadn't eaten anything all day and was really hungry.
Before I awakened, I ate wild fruits for breakfast every day, dug some wild vegetables, and picked up some shelled meat on the beach. Although I couldn’t eat enough, at least I wouldn’t starve to death.
But since she woke up, her appetite increased greatly. She felt like she had eaten nothing after eating the same amount as usual. She had to eat a lot to feel less hungry, but she simply couldn't find that much food every day.
Because there was not enough food, I had no strength in my body.
It was fine before I woke up, but after I woke up, the feeling of powerlessness caused by not having enough to eat was like the tide in the dark night, which was extremely terrifying.
Yubei felt that he would starve to death at any time.
Every time she felt weak due to hunger, jealousy, she would always think that if she didn't awaken, she could at least find food to keep herself alive.
Not only her, but even the warriors of the hunting team in their tribe had no food to eat. The sea they lived by had countless food and countless fish.
But they couldn't catch it.
These tribes living on the seaside dream of being able to easily catch enough food in the sea.
Therefore, Yubei will never forget that day when she followed the tribe to the seaside to collect shell meat, and saw from afar two bird-beastmen grabbing something in their sharp claws and sinking into the sea.
They flew around the sea and finally returned to the seashore, and the things in their claws were also taken out of the sea.
There were countless fish, and because of dehydration, they were jumping vigorously in the school.
There were so many fish that she didn't even want to blink.
If the tribe could catch so many fish, no one would have to go hungry anymore.
Not only she thought so, but all the beastmen in the seaside tribe thought so. So they tried their best to see what the beastmen in the Yu tribe had that allowed them to catch so many fish.
But the thing they regarded as a "sacred artifact" was guarded by powerful orcs, and they could not get close to it at all.
Yu Bei's mind was filled with the countless fish he saw that day.
The orc Queshui from the Yu tribe who came to serve the soup yawned and said to Yubei who was staring at the fish soup in a daze: "If you don't drink it, I'll take it away."
The sea breeze was still quite cold in the middle of the night, and Queshui wanted to go back quickly since at least there was a fire to keep warm.
After hearing this, Yu Bei's body reacted before her brain. She took a step forward, picked up the fish soup and started drinking it.
She didn't know how to describe the taste of the food, she just knew that she couldn't stop eating it.
This was better than anything she had ever eaten. The fish had no peculiar smell and was not too hard to hurt her teeth. It was extremely soft and delicious.
He ate the fish and shellfish too quickly and choked.
She had no choice but to put down the pottery pot, hold her neck with her hands, bend down and cough hard. Her face turned red from coughing. After she finally managed to stop, she pointed at the pottery pot and whispered to the two orcs beside her: "You guys drink what's left from Yushan and Langhai. We haven't eaten for a day."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help licking her lips, which still had the fresh aroma of fish soup, "It's really delicious."
If you can resist such temptation once, how can you resist it a second time?
Yushan and Langhai took direct action, scooped out the fish meat and stuffed it into their mouths. The moment they ate the fish, their eyes widened.
It's really delicious! Is this really fish?
Queshui waited for them to finish eating voraciously, then took the clay pot and left.
She washed the clay pot and placed it next to the fire.
Yanmu came over with a few processed fish in his hand and asked Queshui, "Do you want to eat?"
Queshui nodded. "I wasn't hungry originally, but I just saw those three orcs drinking fish soup. Now I feel a little hungry."
She held up two fingers. "I want two."
Yanmu responded that he understood, then skewered the fish with branches, held two skewers in one hand, and started grilling them skillfully.
Queshui was stirring the fire with a branch. When she looked up, she saw the backs of the three orcs leaving the reef.
"What are you looking at?" Yanmu followed Queshui's line of sight and saw the three thin figures. He turned back and muttered, "I don't know how long I have to guard against them like this."
In the past, these tribes on the coast would never approach them.
Now, because of the fishing nets, these tribes appeared before them again and again.
The aroma of the grilled fish had begun to spread, lingering at the tip of her nose. Queshui stared at the grilled fish, her face somewhat solemn. She knew how it felt for orcs to be hungry, and some orcs would do anything to fill their stomachs and not starve to death.
Queshui was worried that if this continued, they would sooner or later have to fight those desperate orcs from the seaside tribes.
She had to go back and ask the priest whether she should find a new sea area, leave here and avoid conflict.
After eating the grilled fish, Queshui told several people in the tribe about his concerns and suggested going back to tell the priest immediately.
The other members of the Yu tribe had no objection. The seaside tribe had appeared in their area too frequently in the past few days, and it would be best if it could be resolved before anything happened.
There was a faint glow on the sea level, and Queshui transformed and flew towards the Yu tribe.
——
Shen Nong was awakened by a big furry head. Without even raising his eyelids, he turned his face to the other side and stretched out his hand to push the culprit, "Ze, stop rubbing... A-choo..."
Shen Nong had just said a few words when the beast-shaped hair made his nose itchy and he sneezed.
Without saying anything else, Shen Nong grasped the animal tail around his waist and prepared to pull it open to get up.
Ze seemed to be touched in an extremely sensitive place, and he turned over suddenly, pressing Shen Nong under him.
This posture made Shen Nong want to escape for a moment, but he finally held back and looked at Ze with his beautiful and gentle eyes, "What's wrong?"
The leopard is tall, with powerful muscles, and its thick dark hair is mixed with gold, forming ancient and mysterious patterns. The black panther's eyes are also dazzling gold. When Shen Nong looks into Ze's eyes, he always feels a sense of mystery that spans thousands of years.
It has to be said that Ze's beast form is also the most beautiful he has ever seen.
This person seemed to look just like what he liked. He really liked her. No wonder he fell in love with her unconsciously.
Shen Nong is a person who never lets himself down. Although he plans to think about the problems between them after spring when there are no external factors affecting them, he will wait until the spring when there are no external factors affecting them.
But in the face of such beauty, and the fact that the other party took the initiative, Shen Nong couldn't help but touch the long tail again.
"Priest, stop touching me."
There was something wrong with Ze's voice. Although the words he spoke seemed to beg for mercy, his hoarse and dark voice was full of deadly danger.
Shen Nong flirted with her, but he didn't dare to really make her anxious, so he quickly withdrew his hand and said, "Hurry up and transform."
After the two finished washing, Shen Nong looked at the few golden and black hairs floating in the ceramic basin. These were the hairs he washed from his face and hands.
"Ze, from today on, you are not allowed to sleep in your transformed form anymore."
Not only is the hair growing in the spring, but it's also shedding.
Ze didn't ask why. He always listened to whatever Shen Nong said and never asked any more questions.
…
The situation in the Mu tribe was not peaceful, and a large-scale conflict could occur at any time. Although Shen Nong was the third person hiding in the dark and had many younger brothers, he could not leave the tribe for too long.
The issues of the Wushan tribe need to be resolved quickly.
When Yu Ji knew that Shen Nong was going to the Wushan tribe in person, he looked serious and tried his best to stop him, "You can't go."
Shen Nong was the one who saved the chief of their tribe and gave their tribe a way to survive. He helped the Mu tribe transport goods, found edible wild vegetables for them, and taught them how to eat fish.
The Yu tribe is getting better and better because of him.
Yu Ji would not say a harsh word to Shen Nong, so he turned to Bao Qiu and Ze and said in a tough tone: "If you don't want the tribe to lose a priest, don't let him go."
The first time they met, Yu Ji was a little tough with the Mu tribe because he was on guard against the life of the tribe leader. But except for that time, Yu Ji treated the people of the Mu tribe as gently as he treated his own people. His attitude towards Shen Nong was directly similar to his attitude towards the Yu tribe leader Ying Xi.
But this time, Yu Ji's attitude in not allowing Shen Nong to go to the Wushan tribe was even tougher than the first time he prevented the Mu tribe from getting close to the Yu tribe.
This made Shen Nong curious, "Yu Ji, you seem to be afraid that I will go to the Wushan tribe?"
When Yu Ji heard the words "Wushan Tribe", he couldn't help but frown even deeper. "The priest of Wushan Tribe has already said that Bao Qiu is not allowed to get close. If he finds out that you don't obey him, you will die."
Shen Nong tilted his head slightly, "I'm not afraid."
Yu Ji glared, "You say you are not afraid because you don't know what the current priests of the Wushan tribe are like!"
"You know?" Shen Nong asked.
Yu Ji's previous momentum was mostly gone, "Yeah, I know."
He stared straight at Shen Nong, with an indescribable sadness, "I'll tell you everything I know. After listening, think carefully about whether you want to die or not."
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Shen Nong was not in a hurry and just sat down on the animal skins spread on the ground.
The Yu tribe and the Mu tribe have traded so far, and they have traded the most animal skins. Yu Ji's cave is also very different from the first time he came.
All the animal hides that had not been processed, were rotten and smelly, were replaced with tanned animal hides from the Mu tribe.
The animal skin that Shen Nong is sitting on now was made by their Mu tribe.
Ze also sat down with Shen Nong, a little closer to Shen Nong but not touching him completely. He straightened his back, tilted his head and said to Shen Nong: "If the priest gets tired of sitting, just lean on me."
At this time, Yu Ji had already started talking. Shen Nong's mind was not on Ze. He just listened to what Ze said. When it entered his mind, it became, "Priest, lean on me."
Shen Nong curled his lips. He didn't expect that this orc would be so proactive. So he didn't hesitate to lean most of his body on Ze, and he also adjusted himself to a comfortable position.
Yu Ji glanced at Ze who was sitting upright, and then at Shen Nong who was leaning on Ze like a boneless person, and continued, "This priest of the Wushan tribe suddenly appeared last autumn.
He can control wood, which is an ability that only the high priest and the son of the high priest can use. So although he appeared suddenly, his identity is easy to guess. I just don't know why someone like him would appear here."
Shen Nong had heard from Bao Qiu that the priests of the Wushan tribe could control plants just like him. But, could the high priest and the son of the high priest of the Beast City have this ability?
Do they all have spiritual core abilities?
Forget it, I can’t guess anything now, I’ll tell you when I see him.
Yu Ji's voice continued, "The story starts from the summer before last. At that time, the priest of the Wushan tribe was called Wu Qing. He was very good, completely different from the one now..."
