120. Aristocratic hunting
After the sunlight climbed to the top of Yelian Mountain, the pillars of light were cast into the verdant valley along the steep mountain wall, and the birdsong passed through the bluestone cliff wall, which was exceptionally bright in the valley, and the occasional cry of wild beasts faintly came in the deep valley, and the scenery here was like a fairyland in the forest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's not easy to find a flat and wide place along the banks of the Urutu River. Under the cliff wall, there is a plank road paved with a fist-sized pebble, three meters away from the plank road is the turbulent Ulutu River, last night we camped on the plank road, there is no place to stop here, just spread a layer of felt on the cobblestone plank road, and then put a raw cowhide or wolf skin mattress on it, these beast girls sleep on it, some pay attention to maybe there is a blanket, some simply lie on it, no one cares about the cold wind in the cold night.
Only the great chief of Laitu has a luxurious tent, this tent is also very troublesome to carry, before entering the mountain by his five wives on their backs, each of them has a huge roll of luggage on their backs, it looks very difficult, but still happy, maybe because at least their husbands are still alive, at least let them see the hope of living, at least in this summer they will not become slaves of others, will not lose their children, life may be better day by day, their husband Laitu is still a warrior in the tribe, the most powerful man in the tribe, as long as he is there, the tribe will prosper little by little。
Kuzi has always complained that the women of the leader Laytu don't actually carry much food, and the huge luggage behind them is actually a useless tent that can be camped, but I think this tent is very necessary, since the big leader of Raytu has recovered from his injury, every day after nightfall, there will be some men's gasps and women's moans in this tent, I have to say that this tribal leader is really full of energy. If it's just sleeping, with the strong bodies of the orcs, it doesn't matter, but it's common to do so in the wild.
The afterglow of the slanting sun can still shine on the peak, the red canopy makes the valley dim, I lie on the sack mountain of Qige with herbs to mend the soles of my leather boots, it is too much to rush on the pebbles, in the past few days, I have worn the soles of my shoes for the third time, and then I was very curious to ask Kuz, why the soles of his boots have not been worn out, the guy was very angry and told me that since the first demon antelope hunted, the soles of his boots have been patched with two very durable demon antelope skins, and I also according to what the guy said, the soles of the boots have been patched with two pieces of demon antelope skin。
Whenever night was approaching, after camping, Raitu would make a round around the camp, and as the leader, he would make sure that there were no people left behind, and that everyone was in good health and that everyone had enough to eat. In addition, he also had to arrange the night guard mission, which was originally the business of the men, but for the tribe of Laitu at this time, everything had to fall on the heads of the women, and there was no way to do it.
At this time, the orcs would stand naked on the edge of the river, bathing in the cold water that had just come up from the river, and every time Kige would come behind me, blindfold me with both hands, and put them close to my ear and say to me, "Little child, don't look!"
There was always a sweet smell in her, and I wanted to say to her, "Kid, see what's the matter."
...... Beautiful Dividing Line......
When the orcs carried the first batch of demon antelopes back to the tribal camp, the whole tribe was boiling.
Known as the fastest running demon antelope in the wasteland, it is extremely difficult for ordinary orcs to hunt. Looking at the excited eyes of Raytu and the old orc Gribaschin, I guess they didn't have much confidence in us, and now it was hard to suppress their excitement when they saw so many demon antelopes captured at once.
We didn't hide our hunting ingenuity, our strength was there, two underage children and a magician's apprentice and her maid, such a combination could hunt a herd of demon antelope in the wasteland, it was a bit exaggerated to say, Gribaschen had seen our weapons, knew that we had the strength to hunt demon antelope, but he did not think that we could catch so many at once.
Magic scrolls create traps to hunt demon antelopes, a method that cannot be replicated by others. A Frost Scroll isn't a huge cost to make, but it's impossible for orcs to buy it back at the town's market or auction house without a single gold coin. If a demon antelope does not have a demon core, its sheepskin and horns are not worth a single gold coin at all.
The meat cooked in the big iron pot has not yet dried, and we have already set off. There is no way, in order that the freshly cooked beef will not spoil immediately, we can only smear each piece of cooked beef with a lot of salt, causing each piece of meat to become white, so that when it is cooked in the pot, there is no way to eat it without adding a lot of water and wild vegetables in advance. There are still a dozen one-horned bison skins in the camp that have not had time to cook, just yesterday, our hunting team did not meet the herd of demon antelopes, but met the herd of one-horned bison, and we finally harvested the largest batch of fresh beef, we processed all the beef overnight to mature meat, but there was no time for us to dry, we need to leave immediately.
The hunters from the town of Gurudin brought a piece of news: Kurad, the great leader of the blood wolf clan in Guruding Town, had a recurrence of his old injury, and it was his eldest son Kut who took over the power, which means that Kuz's eldest brother is now in charge of Gurudin Town and has become the leader of the new generation of the blood wolf clan, but it has not yet been recognized by the high priest of Kulebaolos who has returned to the holy mountain, counting it, Kulebaolos is the real leader of the blood wolf clan and the great-grandfather of Kuz, but after he led the orcs to defeat the gray dwarf bandits, he retired to the Beast God Mountain in the Great Snow Mountain。
Hearing the news, Kuz was already completely panicked, and he wanted to rush back to Gurudin Town as soon as possible, so everyone set off early.
We don't have enough transportation capacity, before leaving the meat cooked in salt water to everyone in the tribe, the last day of hunting, we met a herd of one-horned bison, otherwise, by hunting the magic antelope alone, I'm afraid we will have to delay for a few days, the magic antelope can eat less than thirty catties of meat, far from being compared with a one-horned bison weighing nearly a thousand catties, the meat unloaded from a bison can be worth a dozen demon antelope.
Those beast girls each carried at least twenty catties of salted meat and twenty catties of cooked dried meat, and they also had to carry their own luggage and some herbs collected for Miss Qi, and walked back in a line on the plank road between the valleys.
I looked at the sacks containing herbs on the back of the Agui Beast, which were like a small mountain, and Kuzi had to sit on the neck of the Agui Beast as a rider, and Miss Qi, as a magician, naturally had limited physical strength, so she barely made a seat on the top of the sack mountain and placed her on it, and at this time, she was raising her proud chin and looking at me with a triumphant look. As if to say to me, do you want Miss Ben to make a room for you to come up and sit down?
Caterina and I walked with our simple luggage, too much of it was all left on the Atachus, and we only had a very simple piece of equipment. Originally, Caterina wanted to carry me on her back, but I didn't agree. I don't want to be stared at all the time by the children of the tribe who are younger than me, and each of these children needs to carry at least their own food!
Raitu and Gribatisin finally decided to take the tribe to the town of Gruuddin to find the Elders of the Blood Wolf Clan for help, so that they could set off with us. Old Orc Gribschen values our Frost Scrolls, believing that our squad's current strength will be able to clear the beasts that have crawled out of the Death Swamp, as we have not only mages in our team, but also a large number of Magic Scrolls.
Along the way, Gribaschen kept telling us about the abundance of bounty on the edge of the Death Marshe, where the land was so fertile that there were countless sweet potatoes buried in the ground that Kig and Caterina frowned. For humans, sweet potatoes are a very taboo food, and for a long time, human beings have regarded sweet potatoes as a food that can only be eaten by slaves. So when everyone talked about the products on the edge of the Death Swamp, the old orc's remark that "there are countless sweet potatoes in the ground" disgusted Kig and Katarina.
Of course, the old orc Gribaschen also said some useful information, the swamp zombies also have all kinds of precious materials on their bodies, especially the potions master Qige, who would like to see the real swamp zombies, and it is best to collect some corrosive liquid from him. And Gribaschen revealed an important piece of information, a very large number of swamp zombies have magic cores in their heads, that is, magic crystals.
And, if we can help them rebuild their homes, there will be some unexpected gains. In the end, Kig made a condition that stunned Raitu and Gribaschin, that is, he wanted to see the war dance of the orc tribe, which is said to be the oldest dance to boost the morale of the warriors, and it is very mysterious.
At that time, Gribaschen and Raitu looked at each other a little with strange expressions, but in the end they pinched their noses and agreed.
Along the way, Gribaschen was extremely dissatisfied with our extravagant use of salt, believing that we were a group of noble young masters who were desperate for luxury, relying on sharp weapons and carrying a large number of magic scrolls with them to run rampant in the wasteland, and secretly discussed with Laitu in private, but fortunately we did not encounter the robbers in the wasteland, otherwise we would be a fat sheep.
This was heard by the bright-eyed Caterina, who came back to us and told us that we should not help them regain their homeland.
Ten days later, we finally followed the valley of the Urutu River through the Yelian Mountains, where the Urutu River turns sharply southward and flows in a large circle to the Baipu Cliff west of the town of Gurudin, which is considered to be the end of the Urutu River plateau. Looking at the western wilderness of Yima, Kuz excitedly stood on the Yagui beast and looked up to the sky and roared.
