In the beast world, I got rich and became the favorite of the group

Chapter 160 Kelp + Energy Mine + Difficult to Tame (1+2) (4000 words)
Not long after An Jin came out of the cave, he ran into the orcs from the collection team.

"My lord, where did you go just now? We have been looking for you nearby for a long time, but we couldn't find you."

A female beggar ran over anxiously, looked around her, and patted her plump chest with lingering fear, "We thought you had encountered a wild beast, so we hurried over looking for the scent, and found that there were sprinkles on the surrounding grass. There was a lot of blood.”

"Don't worry, I went to collect supplies from a distance and accidentally went too far."

An Jin took a basket in Hua's hand, walked side by side with her, looked at the rugged mountain road ahead, and led the orcs out of the mountain, "I just found a child in the cave, who was seriously injured, it seems I fought with monsters, those bloodstains should have flowed at that time."

What puzzled her was, why did Ze Sheng's feathers appear there?

"Injured orc child? Staying alone in the cave? It looks like an abandoned cub." Hua sighed.

An Jin's footsteps paused, seeing that she hesitated to speak, so she continued to listen to her in silence.

"There are many irresponsible animal parents who simply abandon their cubs in a jungle to fend for themselves because of lack of food or other reasons."

Originally, An Jin thought that Hua's kind-hearted personality would show her distressed face, but she just shrugged her shoulders, and she couldn't tell whether it was emotion or contempt, "I've seen this kind of thing a lot, but everyone can't eat enough, so naturally they don't." People go to adopt those abandoned cubs."

As she was speaking, she suddenly turned her head to look at An Jin, "If you don't have the heart, you can take that child back to the city, but—"

Hua pursed her lips and lowered her eyebrows, looking quite helpless.

"This kind of cubs who were abandoned and grown up in the jungle are mostly bloodthirsty and violent, and they are also very fierce. They can bite people! Just like a real wild beast, they are not so easy to be influenced."

——Irritated, fierce, like a real beast.

Isn't this the child she just met?

Feeling some maternal compassion inexplicably rising in his heart, An Jin nodded and thought for a while before saying, "The child was seriously injured. I will bring him some medicinal materials tomorrow to see if he is willing to come to the city. ."

Hua also nodded, and happily followed her. Facing the setting sun, the group of people gradually disappeared on the rugged mountain path.

Before it got dark, they returned to the city. Smoke was already rising from the kitchens of thousands of households. An Jin bought some food at the small stall that was gradually recovering in size on the way home.

Before opening the door and entering, she smelled the aroma of food lingering in her nose. After a tiring day, she couldn't help swallowing because of the smell, "Ling Hong~ I'm back!"

As soon as she opened the door happily, she bumped into a stone-like solid chest. She touched the tip of her nose in pain, "Aren't you going to hunt? Why did you come back so early..."

"Come back early to cook for you." Ling Hong took her into the house and seemed to be waiting at the door for her return.

——Come back early after hunting the target, and prepare her favorite meal in advance.

This is a habit he has developed since he got married.

"Where are you going to play today? You're covered in dirt." Ling Hong took the basket from her hand, hugged her and sat on the stool in front of the table.

"Take the collection team to the surrounding hills, not to mention, I found a lot of edible plants today!"

An Jin didn't shy away from changing clothes. She was so hungry that she directly picked up the chopsticks and lowered her head to pick up two mouthfuls of food.

Ah, eating is really one of the things that can make people feel happy.

The results of the hunting team today seemed to be good. Ling Hong made her a large plate of barbecue, and the barbecue covered with honey or sauce was roasted so fatty and oily by him.

But she felt a little greasy after eating too much.

An Jin took out some kelp bought along the way from the basket, let Ling Hong wash it and cook it, then washed it in cold water and cut it into shreds, and picked it up with chopsticks to eat with barbecue.

"Why do you like to eat this kind of thing? You actually like to eat the grass in the sea..."

Ling Hong recalled that he probably hadn't been hungry enough to meet his mate during this period. Although the snake was not there, his hunting skills were also top-notch.

Seeing his friend grazing happily, his beautiful silver-white eyebrows furrowed fiercely, and a little confusion appeared on his handsome and resolute face.

"Grass in the sea?"

An Jin was amused by him and tried hard to swallow the food in his mouth before he said mysteriously, "We call this kind of kelp over there. This is not an ordinary grass in the sea. It is rich in nutrients. It is good to eat a little bit of it every day." My health is also good."

Kelp is an alkaline food, rich in trace elements necessary for the human body such as potassium and sodium. Regular consumption will increase the body's absorption of calcium.

Adding kelp to greasy food can reduce the accumulation of fat in the body, and it can also be used with meat to relieve greasy food.

Ling Hong nodded in a daze. She always knew a lot of strange things, and it was very interesting to hear her explain popular science from time to time.

When An Jin was eating, he cut another half bowl of kelp for her, and watched her eat with his face, Ling Hong actually felt very satisfied.

"Hi~" An Jin quickly burped and licked the animal oil on her lips.

She touched her round belly. For some reason, she likes to eat meat very much recently, and she is often hungry.

The appetite seemed to suddenly increase a lot.

Seeing Ling Hong brought her a brand new white dress from the cubicle, An Jin felt that her body was very sticky, so she said, "I'll wear the dress tomorrow, it's already night anyway, please help me boil a bucket of water. I'll take a bath in a while."

"Okay." Ling Hong folded the white skirt neatly again, and put it on the corner of the bed, as if obsessive-compulsive, not allowing even a single wrinkle to fall.

……

In the early morning of the next day, An Jin was woken up by the sun. The sunlight from outside the window hit her face, her eyelashes trembled, and her snow-white skin became a little more transparent.

She lazily turned around on the bed, her slender arms dropped to one side, and found that her body was empty.

Suddenly sober.

Ling Hong had already gone out to lead a hunting team before the first ray of sunlight in the morning. The primitive orcs had to strive for their own survival at all times, and their work and rest schedules were always so tight and diligent.

Before leaving, he thoughtfully prepared breakfast for her, the meal was still warm, it seemed that she had just left not long ago.

An Jin got dressed and got out of bed. His eyes moved to the food on the table, with a smile on his face and warmth in his heart.

After she took some time to wash up by the river, she settled for these caring breakfasts, packed up and went out.

In the morning, I went to Chili to get some ointment for wounds, and just about to leave the city gate, I followed the track I remembered to find the injured orc child.

Several red-faced male orcs ran towards her.

"Lord City Lord! Good thing, we have discovered another large energy mine. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Their faces were dark, as if they had just crawled out of a coal mine, but they all had excited and bright smiles on their faces.

Energy mine?
An Jin's eyes fell on their dark faces, and a hot and bold idea arose in her heart. The matter of the orc child was also forgotten by her, "Take me over and have a look!"

"Yes!"

The orcs responded happily, and led her to the back mountain, where there were young orcs mining energy mines everywhere.

The depth of the dug pit was unknown, and the orcs all went in and out of the hole with their faces covered in charcoal.

There is a pile of energy mines as high as a person at the entrance of the cave.

A piece of ore rolled down at his feet, An Jin bent down to pick it up, and shook it in his hand, with a little surprise in his black eyes.

Her originally delicate and white fingertips were quickly stained with a few touches of gray and black.

This kind of energy mineral, which the orcs call it, looks a lot like coal, but its texture is harder and more delicate, like a special mineral between coal and crystal.

A burly tiger wiped the hot sweat from Fang's face, and the charcoal black on his hands was smeared on his face, making him look more like a tabby cat.

He said, "Throw this special ore into the fire, it will generate a lot of energy after burning, and if you are not careful, it will cause a terrible explosion!"

"And as far as we know, this kind of magical and rare ore vein has only been found in our Beast City territory!"

The orcs sounded proud.

"Thank you for your hard work. I have found more people to mine together these few days. I want to transport it back to another city for other uses." Although it is not the coal that the heart misses, but the energy fossil that can replace coal to smelt iron is finally I found it!

"Yes!"

The orcs said in unison, and the excavation work began in full swing. Most of the ore dug out were packed by the orcs and rushed back to Sheng'an City.

An Jin casually took a few energy stones, threw them in the bonfire when he went home, and spent dozens of gold coins to get a gas report after burning the energy mine.

Compared with coal, which has a high heat reserve but is also extremely polluting, the gas burned by this energy mine has almost no pollution components.

It is simply a natural green energy ore!
Waiting until the afternoon, An Jin walked around the surrounding stalls, touched the animal skin bag on her waist, and was about to pay the bill.

——Suddenly found that there were several bottles of medicine in the bag.

Only then did she think of the injured little poor man who was left behind in the forest cave.

"Damn." Annoyed in a low voice, An Jin didn't have time to take the goods handed over by the stall owner, turned around and left in a hurry, "I left a little earlier, keep these things for me, I'll come back to get them at night !"

Go out of the city and come to the lush and primitive jungle. The lush thorns and shrubs almost block the entire field of vision, making it difficult to distinguish the direction.

An Jin also relied on the help of mental power, followed the vague trajectory in memory, and wandered around to the jungle where he went yesterday.

The black-haired boy was unconscious deep in the cave. When An Jin rushed over, he found that he was almost out of breath.

Touching his face, it was scorching hot, and even developed a high fever.

The situation is actually worse than yesterday!
An Jin scanned the surroundings, and finally moved her gaze to the medicine that was thrown away in an inconspicuous corner of the wall.

"..." Does this child believe too much in his ability to heal himself?
In such a serious injury situation, he didn't even bother to take medicine.

She respected him as a man.

"Hmm..." His body was so hot that he had difficulty breathing, and Qi Yuan curled up his frail body slightly as if his chest was pressed by a heavy stone.

He was thirsty looking for water to drink.

But the eyelids were so heavy that they couldn't open them no matter what.

It happened again, it happened again, it happened every time, he was alone, Qi Yuan seemed to have that nightmare again.

He was abandoned by his father beast in the dark jungle to fend for himself.

"Black is an ominous sign. How could our Kirin family give birth to black cubs?"

"It doesn't even have fire inheritance in the blood, it's just dark and evil energy. It's really embarrassing!"

"In order to give birth to you, she died. You shouldn't have appeared in this world..."

"..."

No, he wasn't, he didn't want to be abandoned in a forest so cold and so dark.

The hungry and crazy wild beasts around him stared at the weak him. At first, he couldn't even get the food to save his life. Without that person, he might have been swallowed by the wild beasts long ago.

He is a weed and thorn growing at the bottom of a deep valley, an unseen ominous thing, who will never see the light.

Waking up suddenly from the nightmare, Qi Yuan leaned against the wall and lowered his head, breathing in the air with great gulps, his slightly drooping round black pupils exuded fear and helplessness, and large drops of cold sweat ran across his face.

The tear mole at the corner of the eye exudes a bit of tenderness.

The tip of his nose moved, and he smelled the pungent smell of herbs in the air, as well as the familiar female scent.

"..." Qi Yuan was stunned.

He leaned stiffly against the stone wall, blinked, and turned his head to look at the slender figure that gradually became clear not far away.

The scene in front of him was as familiar as yesterday, making his expression briefly confused.

"……you again?"

She actually came again.

Why are you so persistent in helping him?

Having never been nourished by kindness since childhood, Qi Yuan was wary. He tensed up like a poor stray kitten and stared coldly at the hands in front of him that were helping him.

The female must be trying to get something out of him.

"Sorry, I originally wanted to come over to see you earlier, but I didn't expect to be delayed by something on the way."

An Jin handed him the decoction just like yesterday.

This time he only hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and silently took the wooden spoon she handed over to him.

The strong and stimulating herbal flavor is on the tip of the tongue, and there is a strange feeling.

After he finished drinking, she withdrew her hand.

"Answer my question, why did you come to help me again? See clearly, I'm not your cub." Qi Yuan squinted his gloomy eyes, moved his body to a comfortable position, and asked weakly and indifferently.

Cub? ?
Did she hear it correctly?An Jin picked out his ears, his whole body was petrified, how old is he?Not more than thirteen or fourteen years old? ?

Does she look that old?

The difference between the two of them is at most 5 years! !
Seeing that the female's face suddenly became stinky, Qi Yuan realized that he had just asked such a stupid question, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and pursed his lips tightly.

It's all because of the long kills that made his time go by so fast, he almost forgot how old he was.

But females can only be so nice to cubs and mates.

Does she want to accept him as her partner?Qi Yuan couldn't help but think again.

He is still young, not yet an adult, and has not awakened the breeding memory, and will not be tempted by her kindness.

An Jin never expected that the young man in front of him had a cold face, but in his mind, heaven and man were at war, and his thoughts were getting more and more outrageous.

Seeing that he was calm and silent, she didn't bother him, and walked to the entrance of the cave on her own, "You were seriously injured, and you probably don't have the ability to hunt. You haven't eaten well these two days, have you?"

"I'll go out and get you something to eat."
