Travel through the beast world with the famine system

Early the next morning, Ci Ye got up with two big dark circles under his eyes, and walked out of the small bamboo shed, but he didn't see Hei Yao.

After Ci Ye cleaned up and made breakfast, Hei Yao ran back dragging a huge prey.Throwing the prey in front of Ci Ye, Hei Yao turned into a human again.

"You haven't recovered from your injury, why did you go out to hunt?" Ci Ye asked.

Obsidian replied: "This injury is not a problem, this is your prey."

Ci Ye curled his mouth, it seems that this lion doesn't like to eat and drink for nothing. "Okay, come over to eat, and then change some medicine, I still have things to do after eating." Breakfast was already ready, Xiaobai was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore.

For breakfast, Ci Ye made purple chestnut omelette and barbecue with purple chestnut powder. After eating and changing Hei Yao's medicine, Ci Ye was ready to set off to see the traps set.

"What are you going to do?" Hei Yao asked curiously seeing Ci Ye packing up his things and preparing to go out.

Ci Ye replied: "I'm going to see if there is any prey in the trap, do you want to come with us?"

Black Yao then asked: "What is the trap?"

Ci Ye explained: "The trap is to dig a hole in the ground, and then spread grass on it, which looks like grass, and then put some things that the prey like to eat. When the prey is lured by the food, it will fall into the pit. You can’t climb out. You can also put some bamboo thorns in some pits, and the prey will be stabbed or killed by the bamboo thorns if they fall in. All in all, the trap is not only a method of obtaining prey by force, but by wisdom.”

After hearing Ci Ye's explanation, Hei Yao felt that the "trap" was really a good thing, and he also wanted to see with his own eyes whether the "trap" could catch the prey.

"I will go with you."

"Well, let's set off now before the sun is too hot." After speaking, Ci Ye took Xiao Bai and Hei Yao to leave the hillside and headed for the dense forest where the trap was set.

The locations of the traps were marked on the map, Ci Ye and the others first came to the nearest trap.

"Look! There are prey inside!" Ci Ye said to Hei Yao.I saw that the cover on the trap was gone, indicating that some creatures must have fallen into the pit.

Walking slowly, I found an ordinary beast inside:

【Moss deer】

[Living in a humid place, timid, covered with moss]

【Food: moss, fungi】

There was no trap at the bottom of the pit, and the moss deer kept trying to escape, but the trap dug by Ci Ye was too deep, and it never succeeded.Seeing Ci Ye and others appearing at the mouth of the pit, Moss deer was so frightened that he ran amok at the bottom of the pit.

Ci Ye killed the moss deer with a spear, then put it in the inventory, and re-decorated the trap.

"How is it? The trap can indeed catch the prey, right?" Ci Ye looked at Hei Yao's shocked expression and asked jokingly.

Black Yao replied seriously: "This trap is really powerful. With it, the warriors in the tribe don't have to go hunting every day, and they can relax a lot."

Ci Ye didn't expect Hei Yao to say that. It seems that he really cares about his tribe.

"Then after you go back, you can tell the tribe how to make traps, and set the traps in places where wild beasts often appear. Remember to mark them. Marking can not only help you find the location of the trap, but also prevent the orcs from accidentally stepping on it." Ci Ye walked in front. , turned around and said to Obsidian behind him.

Hei Yao watched the sunlight pass through the leaves and sprinkled on Ci Ye's fair face, casting a layer of golden light on him.

"You came up with the trap, so you just told me? And let me bring it back to the tribe..." Hei Yao couldn't help but say.

Ci Ye waved his hand: "It's okay, this is nothing, didn't you say that traps can help orcs?"

Black Yao suddenly laughed: "Hehe! I knew you were very suitable to be the witch of our tribe."

Upon hearing this, Ci Ye's head was full of black lines. What does this have to do with being a witch?

Black Yao went on to say: "You tell the tribe how to make the trap, the tribe has nothing to repay you, why don't you be the witch of our tribe, the witch has a noble status, and there is food without labor every day."

Looking at Hei Yao who was trying to persuade him, Ci Ye couldn't help but sigh: "Oh! I know, I said I would think about it, but at least I don't have the idea of ​​becoming a witch yet. I live alone. OK."

Obsidian stared at Ci Ye, his emerald green pupils were full of seriousness: "I will convince you, you will definitely become the witch of the Howling Tribe, and join me to make the Tribe better and stronger."

Alas, this black lion is really difficult to deal with!Ci Ye thought silently.

Soon, they went to check other traps, the second trap was not found, the third, the fourth... until they checked the furthest trap, they still didn't catch the grunt.

"Hey! Why is there no grunt beast? This is the last one." Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ci Ye sighed in disappointment.

"Why are you looking for a grunt?" Obsidian asked.

"To dig a well... that's right!" Seeing Hei Yao, Ci Ye suddenly remembered that there was another trap on the cliff where Hei Yao found yesterday, "There is one last trap, let's go and see it! It's right there on the cliff! "

Hurriedly leading Hei Yao and Xiao Bai to that area, Ci Ye took a closer look and couldn't help shouting: "Look! That's great! It's a grunting beast!"

Hei Yao and Xiao Bai also hurried over, only to see a Hulu beast curled up at the bottom of the pit.

"Great! Xiaobai! Finally found it! This way, there will be three grunting beasts, which can help us dig the well!" Ci Ye hugged Xiaobai excitedly, unable to restrain the joy in his heart.

Hei Yao didn't understand why Ci Ye was so happy: "What is a well? Why dig a well?"

Ci Ye got the grunting beast out of the trap, let Xiaobai carry it on his back, and then explained to Hei Yao: "The well is such a deep pit, but it is much deeper than this one. When the well is dug to a certain level underground, water will gush out. Come."

Black Yao still didn't understand: "Why is there water gushing out of the ground? Isn't the ground full of mud?"

Ci Ye went on to say: "Look at the weather is so hot and there is no rain, how do these plants survive? Their roots are in the soil, and they can draw water from the soil. There is water in the ground, but it is buried In very deep places. However, in some places where the water is buried shallower, such as in relatively humid places and places where plants grow luxuriantly, it is possible to find groundwater.”

Hei Yao felt that what Ci Ye said was very reasonable. Perhaps water could really be pumped out of the ground, so that the tribe would not have to take the risk of going to the river to fetch water.

Going back to the small bamboo shed at the foot of the hill, and taking the two grunting beasts with him, Ci Ye couldn't wait to go back to the valley to dig a well.

"I'm going home, will you come with me?" Ci Ye asked Hei Yao.

Obsidian nodded.

"The place where I live is in a valley, and it's two days away from here, so let's start now."

"Wait a minute." Hei Yao suddenly stopped Ci Ye, "Sit on me, I'll run faster."

Hei Yao suddenly turned into a beast shape, walked up to Ci Ye and lay down.

"This...your injury hasn't healed yet." Ci Ye hesitated.

"Don't worry, my injury will heal soon, you just need to come up." Hei Yao insisted.

"Okay then." Ci Ye didn't hesitate anymore, handed all the grunting beasts to Xiao Bai, and then climbed onto Hei Yao's back.

"Xiaobai, follow us, don't run around." Ci Ye turned around and told Xiaobai.

Xiaobai nodded obediently, carrying the grunting beast on his back. "Bee--"

"Let's go, head in this direction first." Ci Ye pointed out the direction to Hei Yao.

Black Yao nodded, and then started running wildly.

Sitting on Hei Yao's back, grasping the long mane under his hands, feeling the beasts running and jumping under him, bringing a strong wind to blow on his face, it's really exciting!

Touching the fur under his hands, Ci Ye felt like a fine brocade, smooth and supple, making it hard to put it down.

I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to ride on the back of a lion!Ci Ye couldn't help but sigh with emotion. I used to think that I was very satisfied to be able to ride Xiaobai in the future, but now my dream has not only come true, but also a big step forward, and I even rode on the back of a lion!

Black Yao was extremely fast, and he shuttled nimbly through the jungle, but Xiao Bai's speed didn't seem to be weak, and he followed closely behind.

"Stop and rest for a while, I've been running for a day." Ci Ye suggested, lying on Hei Yao's back.

Hei Yao roared, gradually stopped, came under a big tree, and put Ci Ye down.

Xiao Bai also caught up, sat down on the ground, panting heavily, looking extremely tired.

Ci Ye took out the water and comforted it distressedly: "Xiaobai has worked hard, drink some water first, and make something delicious for you tonight."

Xiao Bai babbled coquettishly for a while, then buried his head in the bowl and gulped the water.

He also poured a basin of water for Hei Yao, and Ci Ye took out the tent from his backpack, pitched the tent on the ground, and then started to light a fire to cook.

Before Hei Yao could ask, Ci Ye explained to him: "This is a tent, which is made of animal skin. It can accommodate people inside, and it is very convenient to carry."

Just now watching Ci Ye quickly set up this tent, Hei Yao also felt that this thing is really convenient.

To reward Hei Yao and Xiao Bai at night, Ci Ye made sweet and sour pork ribs and boiled pork slices.The meat is the beast that Obsidian hunted in the morning. The meat is very delicious, tender and delicate, and of excellent quality.

At night, with the blue moon in the sky, and the sound of insects in the silent forest, Ci Ye lay in the tent, listening to the sound of breathing outside the tent, feeling extremely at ease.

Early the next morning, Ci Ye and the others continued on their way, and finally reached the familiar valley in the afternoon.

"Great! Finally back!" Ci Ye jumped off Hei Yao's back and ran excitedly to her beloved vegetable garden.

After several days without watering, the vegetables and herbs in the vegetable garden withered a lot, and Ci Ye was very distressed.

Opening the wooden door and placing the grunting beast in place, adding some feed and water to the sheep and chicken pens, Ci Ye hurriedly took out the kettle and started watering the vegetable garden.

Hei Yao followed Ci Ye and saw the neat and exquisite small vegetable garden, the sturdy and tall wooden walls, and the cave full of life, which felt very amazing and interesting.

"Why do you want to raise these grasses?" Hei Yao couldn't help asking, watching Ci Ye busy watering the grass.

"These are not ordinary grasses, some are edible, and some are herbal medicines, which can treat diseases and heal injuries. I found these from other places, and planting them can keep growing new grass, In this way, there is no need to go outside to collect." Ci Ye explained while watering.

"Then I'll help you too." Hei Yao approached Ci Ye, wanting to contribute.

"Well, you take this, and I'll go to the cave to get a water bottle." Ci Ye straightened up, bent the corner of his mouth, and handed the water bottle in his hand to Hei Yao.

Hei Yao watered the vegetables according to Ci Ye's previous actions, and asked while watering: "What are you surrounding the cave? Those should be used for defense."

Ci Ye explained: "Those are wooden walls made of wood, and the middle one is a wooden door. The cave is surrounded by wooden walls, which can resist the attack of wild animals. The wooden door can be opened when entering and exiting, and can be closed at ordinary times."

Black Yao thought for a while, and said: "The tribe can also build some wooden walls, so that the number of orcs in the guard team can be reduced a lot."

Ci Ye shook his head: "The area where your tribe lives must be very large. Making wooden walls is time-consuming and not so hard. The tribe can try to use stone walls, pile up the stones, and fix the stones with soil or sticky things. That makes it so much stronger.”

Obsidian's eyes lit up: "There is a kind of tree on the other side of the grassland. The sap shed is very sticky and will harden soon, which is very consistent with what you said."

Ci Ye was also surprised: "Then we can make stone walls in this way, and if possible, we can also build houses."

"What is a house?" Hei Yao learned new words from Ci Ye.

Thinking of the house, Ci Ye also became excited: "The house is similar to a tent, but it is made of earth and stones, and it is as big as a cave. People can live in it. If you have a house, you don't need to live in a cave."

Hei Yao didn't understand: "You can live in a cave, why build a house like a cave."

Ci Ye thought about it carefully, and replied: "Caves and houses are used to live in, but some caves are not good for health if you live in them for a long time. For example, some caves are very humid, and you will get sick if you live in them for a long time. Moreover, living in caves , if there is heavy rain or an earthquake, that is, when the ground shakes, the cave may collapse, which is very dangerous."

After hearing Ci Ye's words, Hei Yao couldn't help thinking: "Caves do collapse. When I was young, during the rainy season, it rained for a long time. Many caves collapsed and killed many orcs. , when the gods punished, the earth also began to shake, and many caves were destroyed."

"God's punishment?" Hearing this word, Ci Ye was a little surprised that the orcs still believed in gods. "What is divine punishment?"

Black Yao explained: "In the past, the Howler Tribe lived in a very distant place. One day, many huge burning stones fell from the sky, fell to the ground, and ignited a big fire, destroying the grasslands and jungles where we live. , Many orcs died in that disaster, and the witches of the Howl Tribe also died in that disaster. The orcs in the tribe thought it was the punishment of the beast gods for us. Later, the Howl Tribe walked for a long time, I just came here to build a new home.”

After listening to Hei Yao's description, Ci Ye immediately realized that the so-called "divine punishment" turned out to be a meteorite, and the orcs believed in the beast god, so they regarded it as the punishment of the beast god.Ci Ye said to Hei Yao: "I don't think this is God's punishment. You have done nothing wrong. Beast gods will not punish you. The stones with fire are actually stars in the sky. Stars will fall from the sky when they die. , and in the process, a flame is created."

Hearing Ci Ye's explanation, Hei Yao felt very novel: "Do the stars also die? Actually, I don't believe that this is divine punishment. The beast god would not treat the orcs like this. If the beast god would only kill the orcs, Then this god is not worthy of our orc worship and respect."

Ci Ye was also surprised by Hei Yao's bold and rational thoughts, but he didn't expect this black lion to be so smart and rational.

"Of course the stars will die. There is nothing in the world that will not change, and there is nothing that will not die. In the same way, new life will be born every day in this world, and new things will happen. Although the tribe Many orcs have been lost, but many little orcs will be born in the future, and the Howling Tribe will continue."

Hei Yao listened quietly to Ci Ye's answer, then raised his head and stared at him: "You are right, there will be more orcs in the future, and the Howler tribe will become better and better."

"That's it, as long as you don't give up, the future will get better." Ci Ye smiled softly, with a resilient and optimistic light in his eyes.

Hei Yao looked at the man in front of him and felt that he would rather believe in Ci Ye than the beast god he had never seen before.Ci Ye is very smart, very special, and out of tune with this world. He has been standing there, but he seems to be riding the wind and leaving. Hei Yao feels that he can't look away, because once he looks away, Ci Ye might run away , back to where he belongs.

"You are very smart." Obsidian said.

Ci Ye replied embarrassedly: "No, I'm not very smart, I just know a lot, but I didn't come up with these things myself."

Obsidian looked at him: "No, you are smart and powerful, you can do many things, and you can change a lot. You said that many new things will happen in the future, but now you have created many new things Now, these are things that have never been imagined in the tribe."

Ci Ye didn't understand why Hei Yao suddenly boasted about himself, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Black Yao went on to say: "I am very powerful, so I led the Howler tribe here. My father and mother passed away because of the disaster. I hope the orcs can survive. This world is very dangerous, and we have always been Fighting to live, even if injured or killed, we will not abandon the tribe."

Ci Ye became silent, he knew what Hei Yao wanted to say, he brushed off the water drops from the blade of grass with his hand, and said slowly: "I'm very confused, I don't know what to do, I just want to live, But I didn't know what I could do."

Black Yao watched the man standing there alone, as if he was about to disappear.He walked up, put his hand on Ciye's head, and patted it lightly like his father did to him.

Feeling the warmth of the palms above his head, Ci Ye was a little puzzled.

"You don't need to know what you can do, if you like to grow grass, then you grow grass; if you like to build a house, then you build a house. So I want you to be a witch in the tribe, then I must Will make you our witch." Hei Yao comforted Ci Ye with clumsy words.

Ci Ye felt that Black Yao's consolation was not qualified, but he still accepted, "You are very good to your tribe, and you want me to be a witch of the tribe, so you have been trying to persuade me. Maybe I am a little moved now."

Black Yao smiled: "Then you promise me earlier, and I will take you back to the tribe. If you are willing to become a witch, I can be your guardian warrior."

Ci Ye asked: "What is a guardian warrior?"

Black Yao explained to him: "The guardian warrior is the orc who protects the witch, and will always follow the witch until death."

Ci Ye couldn't help laughing: "Then I have to think about it carefully, after all, you are such a powerful black lion, and it is very comfortable to ride."

After hearing Ci Ye's words, Hei Yao's expression was a bit weird, and Ci Ye also felt that the words were a bit offensive, and was about to explain, but Hei Yao suddenly approached and looked into his eyes seriously: "Then you have to remember what you said , if you are willing to become a witch, I will be your guardian warrior and let you ride every day."

Seeing that handsome and lingering face magnified in front of his eyes, Ci Ye was suddenly a little out of breath, his heartbeat accelerated, and he felt ashamed of both his own words and Hei Yao's answer.

He hastily pushed Hei Yao away, picked up the kettle and continued watering, "I know, I know, the kettle is out of water, I'll fill it up in the hole." After speaking, he ran away as fast as a rabbit.

Hei Yao stood there, seeing Ci Ye's panicked movements, couldn't help laughing.
