The Black Crows all moved to this cave during the cold winter, and they would move their nests back to the forest outside when the weather became warmer in spring. There was a large pine forest between this place and the Beihe River. There is no way to go deep into this hill.

There are a lot of people in the Black Crow Clan, and there is no privacy at all. The only thing that can be blocked is the huge bird's nest. The ventilation in the hole is not very good, so you can only light a fire, unless you rely on a fire Otherwise, you can't feel the heat of the fire at all.Even so, the smog was very thick, but this smog just covered up the peculiar smell emitted by the people of the Black Crow Clan because they couldn't clean their bodies all winter.

Although Song Wen and the others live together in the same wooden house on Shegui Island, they clean the wooden house clean and tidy every day. The outer wall of the wooden house is covered with thick volcanic mud, which can barely retain a little heat. It's not that I dislike the fact that so many people of the Black Crow Clan live in the same cave...

...Well, he just hates it.

Song Wen didn't want to force himself to live the most primitive life with these primitive aborigines. Even though the Black Crow Clan accepted the identity of the ancient winged bird, he was an emperor penguin. Such an easy thing.

Even if he can come up with some ways to improve his life in the future, he doesn't know if these primitive natives will have any taboos. I'm afraid they will be restrained when they implement it. It's not as convenient as when they lived on Snake Turtle Island.

A few thoughts quickly flashed through Song Wen's mind, and after a little weighing, he still rejected the elder's suggestion. They can communicate more with the Black Crow Clan, but it is not right for them to directly join the Black Crow Clan. It's not a good thing, not to mention that there is Ada beside them. If they really encounter something that cannot be solved and ask the Black Crows for help, can the Black Crows ignore them?

What's more, Yi is the only descendant of the bird ancestor family, and the elders seem to value Yi very much.

"We also have a partner who belongs to the Snake and Turtle Clan and cannot enter this hill to live." Song Wen shook his head, rejecting the elder's kindness, "If you don't mind us settling near the territory of the Black Crow Clan, we would like to find An open place can at least allow the snake tortoise to move around on the shore."

Hearing Song Wen's refusal, the original elder was a little disappointed. Hearing that they wanted to find a territory near the Black Crow Clan, he quickly cheered up, "Of course I don't mind. You are not many in number, and you can't form an independent clan. We can take care of each other in our territory."

Seeing that the elder really wanted to keep them, Song Wen felt warm in his heart, and secretly rejoiced that the first race they came into contact with after coming to the Southern Land was the mild-tempered Black Crow Clan.

Although the elder had never seen the snake tortoise that came from the North Sea with Song Wen, but he had seen other snake tortoises when he was young, so he knew how huge the snake tortoise was compared to their orcs.He didn't force Song Wen and the others to stay, but bowed his head and thought about it.

"Going a little further along the Beihe River, there is a flat wasteland behind these mud mountains. You can settle there. It is still within the territory of our Black Crow Clan. Usually, Ah Que will lead If there is anything, you can find them.” It’s just that there are not many wild animals living there, and they are not in the area where they often hunt, whether they are Black Crow Clan or The harpies don't care too much about someone staying nearby.

Song Wen's eyes lit up, and he solemnly thanked the elder. The elder looked at Yi with regret. Even though Yi didn't know which race of ancestral orcs he was, he was still a member of the ancient winged bird family. In the entire Southland, where there is the ancestor of the bird, Yi is simply a living ancestor in his eyes. Although there is a bit of a copycat element, the blood flowing in that lineage is much purer than theirs.

The elder really wanted to ask what Yi's inheritance was, but the inheritance was a clan's secret, and he would not reveal it to people from other clans at will. The elder asked what he wanted to ask a few times in his mouth, and finally swallowed it all back. to go.

"I heard that the territory of the harpies is also near here?" Song Wen wanted to find out about the harpies first.

The elder was secretly feeling a pity. Hearing Song Wen's question, he came back to his senses a little. He nodded, "Well, you have to go deeper into the forest to see it. If you fly to the top of the mountain, you can see it at a glance. to the mountain wall where they live."

The territories of the Harpies and the Black Crows partly intersected, so there was a lot of friction. Fortunately, the Black Crows were still united, and even the Harpies did not dare to tease them too fiercely.

"We want to send their cubs back. I wonder if the elders can show us the way?"

"That's a mixed race, right?" Although Fatty had been wearing a fur hat to cover his furry ears that didn't fit the shape of a harpies at all, the elder could still tell Fatty's identity at a glance. Their Black Crow Clan is all of mixed race, unless it is transformed into a human form, otherwise it can't be hidden from the eyes of the elders.

Harpies are more xenophobic than any other race, are these people really going to send that cub back?Aren't you afraid that the cub will be thrown out when the cub is sent by the front foot?

Song Wen smiled, "The harpy who came back from Beihai with us before has already returned to the clan first, and has made an appointment to bring the cub back to the clan, but I haven't seen him come back for so long , we are also worried that something happened to their clan."

Ah Man also mentioned a few words to the elder before, "It turns out that someone in the harpies just came back from Beihai and was with you." The elder suddenly realized.

"Those harpies don't deal with us. They don't allow us to get close to the mountain wall. It may take you a day to walk to their territory with your feet alone." I don't know if there will be some people hidden in the woods on the way. As for the beasts that woke up from hibernation or migrated back in advance, the beasts that just woke up from hibernation are at their most ferocious. These people originally lived on the water, and they might not be able to adapt to the sudden entry into the forest.

The elder thought for a while, and suggested: "Why don't you go to the place I pointed out to you to see if it is suitable for you to live in. Recently, a harpies will come here to hunt. I can find someone to find out first. Lest you rashly bring the cubs to the door."

If those harpies don't accept mixed races and drive the cubs out, I'm afraid it will make the cubs sad.

"Thank you so much. I hope I can help you find out how the harpy who came back from Beihai is doing. We haven't heard from him for so long. We are also very worried."

"Don't worry, although we are not dealing with the Harpy, it is not difficult to find out something." The elder waved his hand and agreed to the matter.

The three talked for a while, but it was actually Song Wen and the elder who were talking, and Yi was just in charge of listening quietly by the side.

There was a sudden noise outside, as if someone was talking loudly, and the elder had nothing to say to Song Wen, so he led the two out of the small cave and went to the big cave outside.

"This fish is so big, is it really caught with a stick?"

"Will there be a lot of fish bones? Last time I went to the river and managed to catch a fish, but the fish bones got stuck in my throat. It took several days to finally swallow the fish bones, and now my throat is still raw from time to time. It hurts." Someone said sadly.

Only then did Song Wen know that someone must have caught a river fish and eagerly brought it back to show to the clansmen in the cave.

Sure enough, when the three of them turned out from the inside, they saw someone holding a half-meter-long gray-brown big catfish. The catfish had its neck cut off and was frozen outside for a while. Passed by the Black Crow people in the cave to watch.

There are not many catfish bones, but unfortunately these Black Crows don’t know it. Even though their eyes are staring at the big catfish, no one has the courage to try to bite the catfish first. They were all killed by river fish. People who have been injured by bone spurs just took a sip of the broth and got a few finger-sized pieces of boiled rattan squash. These people are not hungry enough to eat this fishy and spiny river fish.

Song Wen looked at these Black Crows who dare not eat fish and said a few words about the hardship of life. He walked over, reached out to the Black Crow who was holding a catfish, and said kindly: "If you don't mind, I'll come Let's deal with this catfish for you?"

The clansman looked at Song Wen in a daze, and then at the elder who was walking behind Song Wen.

The elder nodded slightly to the clansman, and the clansman handed him the big catfish.Song Wen didn't receive it, but the wing next to it was cut off, and he didn't take the catfish outside to deal with it. Instead, he went directly to the fire, got some clean leaves and put them on the ground, then took out the bone knife and skillfully gave it to the fire. Catfish disembowelled.

During the days of living in the sea, Yi has long practiced how to deal with all kinds of fish. Because of the poor conditions, after cleaning the internal organs, he grabbed a handful of snow next to the cave to clean the mud, sand and grass clippings on the catfish. , Then they ran to the sticks and put them on the fire to bake.

There is a small bag of refined sea salt in the carry-on backpack, as well as ground millet pepper and wild ginger powder. These are the seasonings usually used for grilling fish, but Song Wen worried that these people are not used to spicy food, so he simply Sprinkle with a little sea salt.

From Yi's handling of the catfish, all the people who could move in the cave surrounded them. Song Wen found that most of the people who remained in the cave were women and children. The men either had broken arms or legs. They were all wounded, and these injuries made them unable to go out to hunt. Even though the group did not abandon them, they were all left skinny and boned by hunger. Apart from looking around, no one asked to beg for food.

Besides, Song Wen couldn't see an old man.

That's right, there is not a single old man in the entire Black Crow Clan, and the oldest one doesn't seem to be much older than the elder. If they were in Song Wen's original world, they would all be middle-aged people with high spirits.
