Traveling through the world of beasts: Encyclopedia System

Today's meal was still barbecue and local fruits, but Huan Chuan ate absent-mindedly. After finishing the meal in a hurry, he returned to the big tent and thought about how to teach them how to make weapons.

Just as he lowered his head in deep thought, he saw a sneaky little shadow wandering outside the tent. Perhaps it was frightened by those underage orcs. Huan Chuan asked cautiously, "Who?"

The people outside were obviously startled, and jumped three feet high. Huan Chuan could see clearly that it was a small animal. He couldn't tell from its shadow whether it was a fox or a wolf. It was probably an orc cub, and it was saying sorry.

Huan Chuan couldn't help laughing: "Come in."

The little guy hesitated at the door for a while before walking in cautiously.

Now Huanchuan could see clearly that it was a little black fox with its tail tucked between its legs and its ears pressed tightly against its head. "Hello... hello." The little fox greeted stumblingly.

Huan Chuan smiled at it gently: "Hello, what's your name? Why are you here? Are you looking for me?"

The little fox saw him smile and his ears perked up a little: "My name is Hei, they asked me to come over and say hello to you..."

Huan Chuan waved at it, asking the little fox to come to him. The little fox walked slowly to his side and climbed down, waiting for him to get angry.

In the end, Huan Chuan did not get angry. Instead, he gently touched the little fox's back fur. He really had to admit that the fox's back fur was much nicer to touch than the wolf's.

But this child seemed to be malnourished. The fur on his back was a little rough, and his tail was not as fluffy as other foxes. "Where are your sub-father and father?"

Hei didn't expect this new sub-beast to be so gentle, and he relaxed his body to let him touch it: "I don't have a sub-father and a father anymore. They got sick. And then they died."

Huan Chuan felt distressed to see such a young child speak the word "death" so calmly. He picked up the little fox and rubbed his head: "How do you live now?"

He didn't expect the little fox to answer him, but unexpectedly the little fox said clearly: "There is a special nursery sister in the tribe. She is responsible for taking care of us."

Huan Chuan was stunned: "How old are you this year?"

The little fox wagged his big tail slowly: "Eight years old."

Eight years old. Many cubs can transform into human form when they are eight years old, but they cannot maintain it for long. However, I clearly heard them say that there have been no new cubs born in the tribe for a long time. Could it be that this child was also picked up?

Huan Chuan didn't want to discuss this topic and continue to hurt the child's heart. The soft little cub was so nice to touch everywhere, and Huan Chuan couldn't let it go. "When I can go out and catch fish one day, I'll prepare some cod liver oil for you. Your hair is all messed up."

"Cod liver oil? What is fish?" The little fox was puzzled. He didn't even know what fish was, let alone cod liver oil.

Huan Chuan nodded and taught him word by word: "A fish is a creature that lives in water and has no hair or a tail."

The little fox racked his brains, but could only think of a hairless fox swimming in the water: "That's really ugly!"

"Hahahaha! What are you thinking about?" Huan Chuan couldn't help laughing. He carried the little fox out of the tent and was actually planning to take the little fox to the river to see if there were any fish.

As soon as he walked out of the big tent, a few little guys at the door ran away as if he was some kind of monster. He didn't care. Children are very curious, and it is natural for them to be curious about this strange sub-beast.

Holding the little fox, he came to the stream he had encountered in the morning, squatted down, pointed to a small fish swimming leisurely in the stream and said, "This is a fish. Catch it and roast it and you can eat it, or you can stew it, steam it, or fry it. They are all delicious."

"Ah! The slippery beast!" Huan Chuan then realized that people here just didn't call this thing a fish. He changed the name of the fish in the encyclopedia.

The little fox didn't know why he was silent, so he continued to talk to himself: "This thing doesn't taste good! It stinks! It also pricks my mouth!"

Perhaps because the little fox had suffered from this thing before, its entire face became wrinkled.

Huan Chuan raised his eyebrows. If he wanted to change people's minds, he might have to start from the inability to fight. If he let them begin to doubt their previous judgments, would that gradually break the idea that sub-beasts cannot fight?

Huan Chuan kissed the little fox fiercely and said, "You are so great. Let's go back and make a harpoon so that we can catch some fish to eat!" After sending the little fox to the door of the big tent, he quietly went to the woods, found a few suitable branches, and used a knife to cut them into the shape of a harpoon, and then stood by the stream.

Huan Chuan held high a crude harpoon in one hand, his eyes fixed on the water. He had a lot of experience in fishing in rivers when he was a kid, but he raised his harpoon but missed.

So he simply threw his fur skirt down on the creek, ran in, and continued his spearfishing business.

Finally, after his fourth attempt, he finally caught a fish. The fish looked particularly plump, and its scales were reflecting the light in the sun.

Huan Chuan returned to the big tent with satisfaction, and hesitated again: "There should be things like onions, ginger and garlic in this world, right?"

He touched his chin and suddenly remembered the things he had picked. He slapped his head and realized he had completely forgotten about them!

But for a moment, he didn't know who to talk to. Looking at the fish in his hand, he was a little dazed. It seemed that he could only throw it away now. He couldn't remove the fishy smell, so this thing must not taste good.

Huan Chuan, who was originally in high spirits, took the fish and prepared to return to the creek to throw it away.

Ye appeared out of nowhere, looking at the thing in his hand, a little confused: "Are you hungry again? This thing is not delicious."

Hearing his words, Huan Chuan's face wrinkled even more. He clearly just wanted to catch two fish to eat.

"If this thing had enough ingredients, it would actually be delicious, but I don't know where to find those ingredients." As he said that, he threw the fat fish back into the stream.

Ye didn't understand what he was saying, but he knew he was worried: "What are the ingredients? I can help you find them."

Huan Chuan shook his head. He didn't know where to find the right onions, ginger and garlic, nor did he know that the plants in this world looked different from what he imagined.

He could only hope to find a collection point nearby the next time he went out to collect.

The matter of eating fish was put on hold for the time being. He looked up at the man next to him and asked, "Why are you here?"

Ye handed him a leaf: "I came here to give these things to you."
