Improper stepping stone for men

In a relatively flat place on the mountainside, several five or six-year-old children were playing and playing with one push and one push, and the sound of crisp laughter spread far away.

Suddenly one of the children stumbled and fell down. What was weird was that when he fell to the ground, he suddenly turned into a little tiger, and the exclamation in his mouth turned into a childish growl.

The adults around were not frightened at all, and continued to do what they were doing without even looking away, as if they were used to this situation.

The children didn't panic, but three of them cheered and rushed towards the little tiger. In a blink of an eye, they all turned into little tigers of different sizes and colors, and the four fluffy ones rolled together .

The few remaining children who did not turn into tigers surrounded them, clapping their hands and cheering for them.

This is a strange world. All people have the same superficial structure since birth, and they all look like human men.

However, almost half of them will have the ability to transform into animals after they are one year old, and they are called orcs by the people here. Their bodies are strong and they are the main fighting force of the tribe, responsible for guarding the tribe and catching prey.

Relatively speaking, people who cannot deform and are called sub-beasts are much weaker, without fangs and claws to resist their prey, they are mainly responsible for collecting, cooking and other logistical tasks.

In addition, they also have an important ability, which is to combine with orcs, and then give birth to offspring, so that the blood of the orcs can be passed on.

As soon as Yang Yan walked out of the cave, he met a Asian orc man with a big belly. Although he knew from the memory of the original owner that this world was different from what he had experienced before, the visual impact he had never seen with his own eyes was as great. , His eyes couldn't help lingering on the other's big belly.

"Yan," the young sub-orc man didn't feel offended by his eyes, and said excitedly while rubbing his stomach, "The priest said that I'm going to give birth in a few days, can you tell me whether he is an orc or a sub-beast?"

"Whether it's a beast man or a sub-beast, it's the will of the beast god, we just need to follow it." Yang Yan replied with a serious face, very mysterious.

His current identity is a priest's apprentice, so he doesn't have to collect and work as hard as other sub-orcs. All he does every day is follow the priest to learn to communicate with the beast god, and some simple healing methods. In later generations, it is a magic stick. .

"Oh!" The young sub-orc man blushed and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I was too impatient. I thank the beast god for giving me a child. I am very happy no matter whether he is an orc or a sub-beast."

After chatting with him for a few words, Yang Yan casually mentioned some equipment work that needs to be done before giving birth, and the young Asian orc man bid farewell to him, and hurriedly prepared according to what he said.

The first time I saw a man who could give birth, Yang Yan was really curious, but although he is currently an apprentice priest, he is too young and has very little experience. People in the tribe will not let him personally Delivered for the mother.

You can only make plans when your prestige is higher in the future. Anyway, there will be many new births every year, so there is no need to worry too much. Besides, he has more important things to do now.

Looking at the forest where the sun is rising, Yang Yan is going to visit his master, who is also a priest in the tribe.

In the tiger tribe, the priest's status is very high, and sometimes the words he speaks are even more useful than the patriarch, because it is said that he can not only communicate with the beast gods believed by the tribe, but also make some herbs to treat the wounded.

However, the original owner has been studying with him since he was six years old, and it has been almost ten years so far. He has never seen the so-called miracle, and it is probably just pretending to be a ghost.

As for those treatment methods, from Yang Yan's point of view, his medical skills are not even comparable to some barefoot doctors in the feudal era, but in the eyes of this person who is still in the primitive society, he is already very remarkable.

The priest did not live in the cave like his tribe, but took a tree at the foot of the mountain that was as big as seven adults surrounded by it as his residence. wide opening.

I don’t know whether it was emptied by moths or corroded by itself. There is a space of more than ten square meters and a height of five or six meters. Very tenacious look.

Looking at the 60-meter-high tree, Yang Yan was very moved by the priest's luck that he was not struck by lightning. Maybe it was really his beast god who blessed him!

"Didn't I tell you to seriously understand it?" Seeing him coming to the door, the priest was very surprised, "Why did you come here?"

He was wrapped in animal skins like all the tribesmen, except that he wore strange decorations on his neck and wrists, and there were two strangely shaped branches stuck between his messy gray hair.

The priest is also a sub-orc man. Yang Yan doesn't know his exact age, but according to the original owner's memory, he should be around 50 years old, but he looks like a shriveled old man.

The people with the highest status in the tribe all looked like this, which is enough to show that the lives of people in this era are not very good. Even with orcs who can transform and have powerful combat power, the average life expectancy of the tribe is only over 40 years old.

Fighting with wild beasts, natural disasters, fighting between tribes, etc., may take the lives of the orcs, and everyone is struggling to survive.

"Master, I have received instructions from the Beast God." Yang Yan said directly.

"Instructions from the Beast God?" The priest looked at him suspiciously, "What you said is true?"

Although he firmly believed in the existence of the Beast God, he had never had a successful conversation with the Beast God for so many years. Of course, he didn't believe that the Beast God would pass over him and give instructions to an apprentice who had only studied for less than ten years.

But he knew his little apprentice very well, he was not a sub-beast who would lie casually, and he didn't look like he was lying, so he was very confused.

"Yes," Yang Yan was very calm under his gaze, with a pious expression on his face, as if he had really received an unnecessary instruction, "Just today, in the direction where the sun rises, there will be a divine envoy descending from the sky. , to help our tribe prosper."

Now the priest believed it a little. After all, if it was a lie, it would be very easy to expose it. You only need to look in the direction he said to know.

After pondering for a moment, he stood up and said, "The orcs in the tribe now, let's look in the direction of the rising sun."

He didn't directly say that he was going to meet the envoy, obviously he didn't fully believe what he said, but Yang Yan was not worried, after all what he said was true, someone would indeed fall from the sky in a short time, but it wasn't the so-called envoy who came , but a person of different time and space.

But for people in this society, that alien is no different from an angel. After all, he knows a lot of knowledge that they don't, and can bring them a better life.

The priest had a high prestige in the tribe. Although he didn't explain what he was going to do in the forest, the orcs who stayed in the tribe to guard their safety still sent a team of six to guard their safety.

The original owner is a weak sub-orc. He has never left the tribe since he was a child. He doesn't know anything about the situation in the forest. However, it was described in the novel he read after his death that the protagonist once tried to find a way back to his own world. , the direction he was walking at that time was the direction in which the sun rose.

Although Yang Yan has the ability to survive in the wild, he is not as clear as the locals about this forest, so he just told the direction and asked the orcs to lead the way.

Seeing several tall and strong men transformed into giant tigers with his own eyes, his fingers were a little itchy, and he suddenly thought of the tiger flower with human IQ that he once raised. If it can also be transformed, is it like these orcs? Same?

While he was having messy thoughts in his mind, a giant tiger docilely fell in front of him. Yang Yan was taken aback for a moment, then he understood, and dexterously climbed onto his back.

The two giant tigers opened the way in front, and the two ends were broken behind. The two ends carrying him and the priest walked in the middle, protecting their safety to the greatest extent.

The thick pads on the feet of the giant tigers made them land very lightly, and the group rushed forward quickly and silently.

Yang Yan fluctuated up and down following the giant tiger's actions, estimating the time in his heart, and kept looking at the surrounding environment with his eyes. At the beginning, the scenery was similar, except for the trees, grass and mud, nothing special.

After walking for about half an hour, he finally saw a big snow-white tree. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately understood that the place he was looking for was almost here.

"Wait a minute!" He patted the giant tiger under him, and said, "There is a water pool near here, do you know where it is?"

Several giant tigers stopped abruptly, and one of them who opened the way in front nodded and let out a low growl. Unfortunately, Yang Yan couldn't understand what he wanted to express, and said helplessly: "You can talk about it after you transform into a human form."

After the orc turned into a beast, he couldn't speak human words. He also knew that he had made an oolong, so he changed back quickly, with a little blush on his bronze-colored face, and pointed in a direction: "I know what Yan said. That pool of water is over there."

"Then you lead the way ahead, let's hurry over." Yang Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, it's good that someone knows, and the time traveler is coming soon, he can save the man before the hero.

The man didn't ask the reason, but nodded meekly and turned into a giant tiger again. With a flash of his figure, he quickly jumped in the direction he said, and the other tigers followed quickly.

The old bones of the priest were bumped badly along the way, but he was extremely excited at this moment. At this time, he had completely believed in the divine envoy that the apprentice said, otherwise he had never been out of the tribe, how could it be possible? Know the environment in the forest?
