The promise of slow wear for the rest of your life

When I woke up, the sky was bright.

The gathering place is like a typhoon passing through, and there are broken branches and trees everywhere.

Everyone has woken up early and is busy packing their luggage and moving to the upper reaches of the mountain stream.

Arnold glanced around, and was quite surprised to find that the two batches of nearly a dozen orcs who chased out last night had all returned by this time.

Moreover, none of the orcs were injured.

This shows that they did not catch up with the badly injured orc and the less injured Hiss last night.

At the same time, it also showed that both the orc and Hissing escaped the most dangerous catastrophe. As long as they hid in the forest and recuperated from their injuries, they could be recovered at any time.

Thinking of this, Arnoldton felt that his mood was a little delicate, and besides the subtlety, he couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

Jiujiuya and Jiujiu woke up earlier than him, and they have already packed their few luggage.

Arnold simply washed up, then picked up the luggage, and led them to follow the large army to the upper reaches of the mountain stream.

The new gathering place above is not far from the one below.

Everyone took the cub with their luggage on their backs, and after walking for a while, they arrived at the place.

Next, everyone began to choose their own foothold here.

The foothold of Arnold's house was still chosen by Jiujiu.

The location is still a little far away from the big guy, on the edge of the gathering place.

There is still no shortage of big rocks that Jiujiu Ya has a special liking for, and there are not even one but a full three.

The three big stones were scattered around the foothold in a zigzag shape, and a not too big broad-leaved tree grew beside the stones.

There was a large space in the middle, and Jiujiu laid out three beds made of big leaves.

Each bed is paved with stones, and clumps of low flowers and plants are left between them as barriers.

After he finished fiddling with it, it looked like that.

Arnold let him toss, only stepped forward to help from time to time.

Jiujiu was very happy to be helpful, and Jiujiu didn't dislike him, and let him run around by his feet, grabbing here and there, and flapping his short wings all over the ground.

Not long after, the three of them worked together to arrange a new foothold.

All the non-orcs and orcs in the gathering place are still busy with their own work.

After greeting the two little guys, Arnold picked up a simple longbow and quiver, and went into the forest alone to hunt for breakfast.

Jiujiu took advantage of the gap to raise the fire, and burned a stone bowl of hot water along the way, just waiting for Anol to come back with the prey to roast and boil.

Arnold came back with a bird of colorful feathers within half an hour after entering the forest.

After breakfast, Jiujiu and Jiujiu went to play with their friends.

Arnold stayed alone at the foothold, researching the usefulness of the beast crystal for most of the noon, but failed to research each one, two, three.

Seeing that noon was approaching, the orcs went into the forest together to hunt for lunch, and the non-beasts also went into the forest in groups to collect wild fruits. Arnold had to collect the beast crystals and study them next time when he was free. Putting on the bow and arrow, followed the non-orc army into the forest.

After following those non-orcs to search for wild fruit trees and pick some fruits, Anor broke away from the main force and went into the depths of the forest alone.

This was not the first time he had done this. The orcs guarding the non-orc picking team had long been accustomed to his boldness and did not stop him.

What's more, collective action is entirely voluntary, without any coercion.

A lone non-beastman like him is completely free from participating in collective actions.

So even if he wants to act alone, no one will stop him.

Conversely, if he wants to act with everyone, no one will drive him away.

After the non-orcs finished picking the fruits and collected some usable items, they went back to the gathering place together.

They didn't wait for Arnold to come back to join them, and Arnold never came back to join them again,

During the period when non-orcs are alone, they can only support themselves, which is not empty talk.

During the time when Sijiu is not here, everything that he, Jiujiu, and Jiujiu needs to eat and wear must be obtained by themselves.

He is fine, not only can he hunt some small prey by himself, but also someone throws him prey from time to time.

At the very least, during this period of time, even if he had placed an order, he was still able to eat and drink enough, and he hardly ever suffered from hunger.

In contrast, the situation of other non-orcs is much worse.

For example, the five non-orcs named Hiss, and the two old non-orcs and one old orc living with them, plus a large group of nearly ten cubs.

They are also on orders now, but they can barely support themselves,

Although they are all good at picking fruit, no matter how much fruit they eat, it is not as satisfying as a bite of meat.

In addition, there are four cubs waiting for food under them, waiting for them to provide food,

Even if the five orcs were exhausted from working all day, they still wouldn't be able to get so much food.

It was only one day, and except for the three elderly non-orcs and orcs who were supported by all the orcs from the beginning to the end, the big family was all starving, their eyes were green, and their spirits were listless.

This situation did not last long.

That night, Arnold noticed that among the five non-orcs, an adult non-orc, took two orc cubs and a newborn non-orc cub, and switched to a stronger adult in the gathering place. The orc's arms.

The adult orc readily accepted the adult non-orc, along with the three cubs he brought along.

And the adult orc's original partner, the non-orc, didn't have any objections to this, and calmly accepted the adult non-orc's cub to join.

It was like a start.

At noon the next day, another adult non-orc among the remaining four non-orcs also brought a three or four-year-old non-orc cub, an orc cub and two white eggs, and transferred to another person in the gathering place. The embrace of a powerful adult orc.

Moreover, that night, the young non-orc among the remaining three non-orcs switched to the embrace of another stronger young orc.

The two young non-orcs switched to the arms of the other two orcs who were also in their teenage years.

After only two days, the big family fell apart, leaving only two elderly non-orcs and an adult orc still standing firm.

According to Arnold's careful observation, the five orcs that the five non-orcs chose to switch to were all one of the orcs who chased the orc named Hiss that night when he hid in the dense forest due to injuries, without exception.

After obtaining this observation result, Arnold also wanted to understand why the five orcs dared to accept his non-orc switch when they were not sure whether the orcs could come back, as if they were not afraid of the orcs at all. When I find it back, I will snatch those non-orcs back and take revenge on them by the way.

It's just because they all have the capital to fight against the screaming orcs, so they are not afraid that the other party will seek revenge.

And those five non-orcs who chose to switch to orcs also purposefully chose orcs who dared to fight their predecessors, not random choices.

As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this saying is absolutely true.

After this incident, Anor has a deeper understanding of the way of survival of the non-orcs here.

-

In the early morning of the third day after moving to the new gathering place, Sijiu came back with the prey and the orcs who went out to hunt for breakfast.

Hissing's return did not have much impact on the daily life of the orcs and non-orcs in the gathering place.

Everyone is still doing what to do.

The happiest people are naturally Jiujiuya and Jiujiu.

The two little guys grinned happily all day long.

Anol was actually a little happy in his heart, but he didn't want to admit it at all, so he didn't show it at all.

His attitude towards him after his return was still as warm as before he left.

It was as if Arnold had never stabbed him in the chest, and it was as if he had never been bruised and bruised for Arnold.

With him like this, it's not easy for Arnold to be too indifferent, so he can only continue to be so lukewarm, and get along with him as if nothing happened.

The day just returned to the state it was ten days ago.

During the day, Sijiu went out early and returned late to be responsible for hunting meat, and Arnold was responsible for picking wild fruits, adding barbecue and cooking meat to feed himself and the two little guys.

Four people sleep in three places at night, one sleeps later than the other.

In his spare time, hissing and polishing stone tools, Arnold researching the use of beast crystals.

Occasionally, when the timing is right, Sijiu will still take the initiative to learn a new language with Arnold along with Jiujiuya and Jiujiu.

Arnold would not refuse to teach him.

The two seem to not interfere with each other, but in fact they complement each other, and their lives are inexplicably smooth.

Time passed day by day, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

The leaves of some broad-leaved trees in the forest gradually turn dark yellow and fall with the wind.

At this time, the newly born non-orc cubs in the gathering place were already able to crawl all over the ground.

And those orc cub eggs that lay eggs have also hatched into various orc cubs.

So far, the orc named Si has not been found.

In recent days, the orcs in the gathering place have faintly appeared, led by another powerful orc.

By doing so, they seemed to have confirmed that the orc named Hiss would never come back.

Arnold is not optimistic about this, he has a vague feeling that the orc must not be dead, since he is not dead, then sooner or later he will be found, even if it is just for revenge.

This feeling added a lot of urgency to Arnold, making him more diligent in cultivating animal power.

On this day when the weather turned slightly cooler, the orcs and non-orcs in the gathering place were busy packing their luggage again, preparing to move to the next gathering place.

Arnold feels that the environment here is pretty good and suitable for permanent residence, so he really doesn't want to leave.

It's a pity that it's no use if he doesn't want to go alone.

Everyone had to go, even hiss, chirp, and chirp. He stayed here alone, and the only thing he had to do was deliver food to the beasts nearby.

So he had to go even if he didn't want to. :) :)
