Jungle Throne

In their cave, Gao Zhige first took Meng Luo to the bank of the dark river to help her clean the blood from her hair.Looking at the gradually exposed deep and shallow wounds, Gao Zhige couldn't help showing a distressed expression: "These must be very painful, right?"

"It doesn't hurt."

As soon as Meng Luo finished speaking, he immediately thought of the difference between the other party and himself, and added: "Orcs have a strong self-healing ability. As long as there is no bone injury, this injury will be healed the next day."

Gao Zhige didn't say anything after hearing this, but just went to take out a bottle of anti-inflammatory spray from his backpack, and carefully sprayed the wound on the lion's body.

There are also some emergency medicines in the backpack, which she prepared for climbing, just in case.These were originally very common medicines on the earth, but I didn't expect that they would become very precious after time travel.

During the whole process, Gao Zhige didn't say a word, and was immersed in her own thoughts.The Howling tribe has no priests. Although she is not a priest, she can light fire. It is said that only priests can light fire here, so what about the others?

Ever since she came here, she has been thinking about whether to live with Meng Luoan peacefully, or to join a tribe, use her own mind to make the tribe stronger, and promote the development of civilization and the progress of history like novels?

Although she is not an ambitious person, she still wants to live here.However, in this perilous forest, even if she doesn't admit it, the fact is that orcs are indeed stronger than non-orcs.Without Meng Luo's words, she was struggling here alone.But although Meng Luo is strong, there is only one. She cannot rely on Meng Luo for everything.Like today, if there is a powerful tribe behind them, no one would dare to treat them like this even if they wandered around in other tribes.

In any case, the power of the collective is always stronger than that of the individual.

Meng Luo was very afraid of Gao Zhige showing such a serious expression.Although early on she felt that Gao was not an ordinary female, but after today's incident, she felt more deeply.She has only felt the aura of the other party in two people, one is the lion in the lion pride, and the other is the priest in the lion pride.

Thinking that Gao Zhige might have been a priest, Meng Luo suddenly felt that the distance between the two of them suddenly became farther away.She had a feeling in the dark that if she didn't become stronger, one day she would get farther and farther away from the other party, and eventually she would never be able to catch up.

"Meng Luo, tell me about you." Gao Zhige sat down in front of her, put his legs together, and looked at her with his arms around his legs and asked.

"My business?" Meng Luo was confused for a moment.She quickly realized that she started talking about it when she was a child.

"Uh... my mother is the most common female in one of the lions in the lion tribe. She met my father shortly after she became an adult. My father is an orc from another lion group, and then they gave birth to me. I Just five years after I was born, Iron Tooth in the tribe became the new lion head, my father was defeated by the current father, and my mother and I lived with the current father afterwards."

Although Meng Luo had heard about it a long time ago, when she heard it again, Gao Zhige still couldn't help feeling disgusted by the conjugal system in the lion tribe.Fortunately, Meng Luo had already left there, otherwise...she didn't know what else was going on, anyway, her mood was very complicated.

"Isn't there only one lion pride in the lion tribe?"

Meng Luo shook his head: "When I left, there were five lion prides in the lion tribe. Each lion tribe generally has five or six males and females, and three or four orcs."

It feels a bit like a big family, direct and collateral.If it were on Earth, the lion tribe would probably be called the lion family.

"Have you thought about going back?"

Seeing that the other party was still shaking his head, Gao Zhige asked why.Munro said: "My pride has kicked me out, and no other pride has accepted me. Lions that get kicked out of their tribe can't go back. Also, they don't see me as one of my kind. I'm on my own. It's nice outside too."

"If Grandmother was still in the pride, I might miss her. But she came out with me and is gone now."

"If something happened to your tribe and your help was needed, would you go back?"

"I will help them, but I will not go back."

"Gao, do you know?" Meng Luo put his head on his paws, closed his eyes, and said in a very tired tone, "Actually, I am not a qualified lion orc."

"If you see them, you will know what a real lion orc is like."

The real lion orcs are the kings of the grassland, and their innate aura of kings makes them superior to other orcs.Even if you are alone in a dangerous situation, facing an opponent who is several times stronger than yourself, even if you are the one who falls down until the last moment, you must let the opponent stand in awe until the last moment.

"Don't worry, you still have a long time to slowly become stronger." Gao Zhige paused, "Meng Luo, you have to believe in yourself."

After speaking, she urged the other party to quickly transform into a human form, and then used a branch to measure her size.She wanted to quickly use the five animal skins she got back to make clothes for the other party, and she couldn't always let the other party go down naked like this.

She has seen that the females of the wolf tribe simply wrap the animal skin around their private parts, and use rattan to simply pass through the holes in the animal skin to fix it.For the orcs, it is even simpler, wrap the leather around the waist and stuff it.Gao Zhige asked Meng Luo that when the orcs hunted, most of them changed back to their animal form, so clothes were not necessary for them.

She felt that the orcs here were more like beasts, and they were still living in the way of beasts.

An orc is nothing more than a beast that can become a man.

On the contrary, those males and females who cannot become beasts are the ones who can really create civilization.Didn't you see that tools like stone knives and stone spears were invented by them?One day, perhaps the orcs will be annihilated in the long river of history.

Gao Zhige suddenly felt troubled, and began to worry about whether he could successfully train Meng Luo to become an adult, break away from the category of wild beasts, and become a real beastman.

Gao Zhige is not considered ingenious, but at least she sewed clothes by herself when she was studying and living in school, and the current conditions do not allow her to make very fine clothes.And things like making clothes...the first time is raw and the second time is familiar, isn't it?What's more, there is a ready-made model at her mercy!

She took a stone knife and cut off a long piece of hide from the animal hide, and adjusted the length while using the cut part to draw Munro's chest.Then use the teeth of long-toothed beasts to drill a row of small holes that are aligned with each other vertically at both ends, and put the dried rattan into it, like shoelaces, one after another, cross them, and finally put them on The extra part of the animal skin is folded inward so that it just covers the row of holes, so as to avoid the rattan in the holes from rubbing against the skin and making it uncomfortable when you put it on.

"Gao, you are so smart!"

Meng Luo raised her hand, like a good baby, and let Gao Zhige put the finished underwear on her head, then adjusted the length of the rattan so that the animal skin underwear could just wrap around her chest, and finally hit her at the end. A slipknot is fixed.

It took Gao Zhige less than half an hour from making it to teaching Meng Luo how to wear this animal skin underwear. After all, the idea was already there, so naturally it was done quickly.

"How is it? Are you comfortable?"

"Yeah!" Monroe looked happy.She carefully touched the animal skin she wore on her body, with a precious expression on her face, for fear that she would tear it apart as soon as she put it on.

"Then you have to promise me that once you put it on, you are not allowed to take it off." Gao Zhige took the opportunity to demand.

"Uh..." Meng Luo hesitated for a moment, but seeing Gao's eyes seemed to say, "If you don't agree, I won't make clothes for you", she nodded quickly in agreement, but what Gao couldn't see was what she was thinking. Otherwise, when I change back into the animal form to hunt, I will definitely ruin my clothes.

Gao Zhige didn't say anything else, and continued making underwear.She used a stone knife to cut out an hourglass shape on the animal skin, then folded it in half up and down, and tied the two sides with rattan.Finally, seeing Meng Luo put it on awkwardly.

"What is this?" Meng Luo felt uncomfortable wearing it, but dared not take it off.

"This is underwear, to prevent exposure."

……

In the end, Gao Zhige used a whole piece of animal skin to make a savage outfit for her with one shoulder exposed, and came to the conclusion: the first time I did it was not satisfactory, and I will definitely do better next time.

She also made the same set of animal skin clothes for herself, and then soaked the remaining animal skins in water to soften them, dried them, and put them in the leaf hut for smoking and tanning.

An hour before the sun set, people from the Timberwolves tribe came.There came three orcs, including Howl, and two males.They wrapped a bunch of small green fruits in animal skins, which were exactly the kind of salted fruits that Gao Zhige wanted today.

Gao Zhige saw that they had brought the trade items, so he asked them to put the salted fruit in an empty clay pot.The fire had been lit long ago, and there was a clay pot on top of the earthen stove, cooking the meat inside.

She took out a burning firewood from the firepit, no matter how surprised the other party was when they saw these things, she handed it to one of the males, and pointed to a place for them to make a fire and barbecue by themselves.

This is what they agreed on today, but salt fruit is only part of the deal.What's more, if Gao Zhige needs their help in the future, they have to agree.

After the Timberwolf tribe finished roasting the meat, they said goodbye to them soon.Gao Zhige watched the two males being carried by two orcs respectively, and the last orc was holding roasted meat, and several of them quickly disappeared from her sight.

After they left, Meng Luo walked over hesitantly. Gao Zhige knew what she wanted to say, but she just didn't speak, waiting for the other party to say it.

"... Gao, I went hunting, I will be back soon."

"Oh." Gao Zhige said, "Go."

"Then can I take off my clothes first?"

"Can……"

Before Meng Luo was happy, Gao Zhige said again: "But when you come back, you have to dress yourself, and I won't help you."

"Ok, Ok!"

Meng Luo nodded again and again, carefully took off the clothes, folded them neatly and put them aside, turned around and turned into a lion, and disappeared into the forest.

"Alas!" After Gao Zhige rubbed her face with her hands, the last thing she showed was a tired face.Since coming to this world and meeting so many people and things, the number of times she sighed has skyrocketed.

She wrapped the clay pot with the scraps of animal skins, took it off the kang, and put another pot full of water on it to burn.She carefully carried the steaming clay pot into the cave, took off the suit of clothes she had been wearing since time travelling, scooped hot water out of the pot with a pottery bowl, poured it on her body, and used a The palm-sized animal skin was slowly wiped.

tomorrow!She must dig a pool out!It's so frustrating to wash like this!

When Meng Luo returned after biting her prey, Gao Zhige had already washed her whole body, and changed into the animal skin clothes she made for herself today.At this moment her hair was wet and she was drying it by the fire.

"Bang!" Something fell to the ground.

"Gao...you, you are so pretty!" Meng Luo stammered, staring at Gao Zhige without blinking.

"Hmm!" It was regarded as accepting Meng Luo's appreciation.

Meng Luo tore off a hind leg of the prey and sent it to Gao Zhige, she took it and took a look, hoof!Turning his head to look, he found that the prey turned out to be a deer!

"This is a yellow-skinned deer, the meat is tender and delicious!"

"I haven't eaten venison yet..." Gao Zhige skewered the venison leg with a stick, intending to roast it.There happened to be a salt fruit, and after she smashed the salt fruit with a stone, there were grains of salt inside the thick flesh!But it was only a small amount, she smashed several salt fruits in succession, and in the end it was less than a spoonful in total.

However, this is enough to make her cry——finally there is salt to eat, can you not be moved to tears?She didn't waste the rest of the pulp, and threw it all into the clay pot to boil the salt water.

Although the salt water I drank in the end had some bitter taste.

"Meng Luo." Gao Zhige called to someone who was about to leave with a bite of raw meat.

"Huh?" Meng Luo stopped and looked back at her suspiciously.

Perhaps it was because the firelight in front of Gao Zhige was so dazzling that it cast a shadow on her face, and Meng Luo couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.

"If, I said, I don't like you eating raw meat, would you still eat it?"

Meng Luo didn't know why Gao said that, it reminded her of that morning, when she was by the river, the other party seemed to look at her like this, saying not to eat raw meat.It's just that there is something less in the other party's eyes now than back then.

begging?Yes, please!

Now it seems as if he has accepted the fact, his eyes are full of inner peace.

She couldn't understand why Gao Zhige didn't want her to eat raw meat, but don't all orcs eat raw meat?The taste of blood on raw meat will make the orc's senses more and more acute, and that primitive taste allows the orc to have the ferocity and strength of a beast at any time.

That which is called wild is preserved forever.Their teeth and claws are always sharp.And the soft feeling of overcooked meat will only degrade the orc's senses and dull the teeth and claws.

Meng Luo rejected Gao Zhige without the slightest hesitation.Because she is an orc, she must use raw meat and blood to stimulate her wildness, and her teeth and claws must also become sharper.

She has to get stronger.

Only in this way can she have the strength to protect Gao Zhige.

Even if she is alone, she can protect Gao well.

It's not like today, when the five wolves beat themselves into such a mess, and Gao came to save him in the end.

"I see." After Gao Zhige finished speaking, she stopped looking at her and thought to herself, from now on, she will treat herself as raising a big cat.

However, when he looked at the roasted deer leg that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, he lost his appetite.
