Chapter 98: The tribe moves together (2)
Nanzhou traveled in silence along the way, just riding the fire dragon to melt the snow in front to clear a path so that the team could move forward faster.
Moreover, he discovered in the past two days that the color of his flame could be artificially adjusted. He could adjust the three colors: fiery red, gold, and colorless.
At this moment, Nanzhou was standing on a fiery red dragon, just like the color of his previous flames, which would not arouse suspicion.
The orcs behind him all had serious expressions and followed Nanzhou with their heads down to hurry on their way.
Compared with Shihao and Shihua, the team from Nanzhou is obviously advancing much faster.
An hour later, when Shihua and Shihao were still on their way, Nanzhou had already arrived at the destination with his more than 30,000 people.
In front of me is a large forest covered with snow. On the left side of the forest are towering mountains, and on the right side are rolling hills also covered with snow.
Nanzhou first called the Flame Pattern Orcs into the forest to melt the snow, and the other orcs followed behind to look for hibernating prey.
He went to the nearby hills to melt the snow first, and occasionally threw out a few huge beasts.
The orcs in the forest also moved quickly.
The orcs of the Lion Mountain Tribe are responsible for melting the snow, while the orcs of other tribes are responsible for finding the hibernating beasts hiding in various places.
Soon the open space outside the forest was filled with animals that had lost their lives before they could even open their eyes.
When the mission in Nanzhou was halfway through, Shihao and Shihua's teams finally arrived at their destination.
Similar to the situation in Nanzhou, Shi Hao and Shi Hua also asked the orcs of the Shishan Tribe to melt the snow first, and then asked the orcs of other tribes to find beasts.
However, Shi Hao and Shi Hua did not act alone, but acted together with the orcs.
Five hours later, when Nanzhou and the orcs returned to the original starting point carrying more than 30,000 beasts, Shihua and Shihao had not returned yet.
Nanzhou sat bored on the snow, looking at the beasts piled up like a mountain in front of him.
Today they only searched one-third of the forest and one-quarter of the hills; the rest of the area and the other side of the mountains were not explored yet.
In addition, Nanzhou asked the beastmen to pick older beasts as much as possible, and they were absolutely not allowed to catch cubs, and beasts in their prime should be avoided as much as possible.
Among these more than 30,000 beasts, more than 10,000 were found by Nanzhou alone in the hills. While the beastmen were amazed and worshipful, they also became more reserved and silent.
Nanzhou looked into the distance and found no trace of Shihua and Shihua's team. He didn't want to sit there and waste time, so he said to the more than 30,000 orcs in front of him: "You guys deal with the beasts first."
"Yes!"
The orcs quickly agreed, then drew out the bone knives they carried with them and began to deal with the beasts.
Complete animal skins were neatly placed together, and the animal meat was washed clean with snow water and then piled together.
When all the beasts in Nanzhou were almost dealt with, Shihua and Shihao finally returned with the beasts.
But the total number of beasts brought back by their two teams was only 5,000 more than that of Nanzhou.
Nanzhou's disdainful look was so obvious that Shihao and Shihua's faces turned a little red.
Shihua couldn't help but ask an orc from Nanzhou: "How did you manage to hunt so many beasts?"
The orc first looked up at Nanzhou, who was still quite a distance away from him, and then whispered to Shihua: "Among these more than 30,000 beasts, more than 10,000 were captured by the young chief.
Moreover, when we were looking for the beast today, we were not talking, laughing, playing and fighting like we did in the past.
No one dared to speak, so the process went much faster. "
Shihua suddenly realized, then walked to Nanzhou and said, "You didn't follow them to look for it?"
Nanzhou looked at Shihua with some confusion.
"I've already told them where the beast is, they can just go there by themselves, why should I waste my time following them?
If I had that much time, I might as well find a few more beasts."
“Brother, I think what Nanzhou said makes sense, and we should let go and let them try it themselves.
Besides, as Nanzhou said, we have already told them the location of the beast, we just asked them to dig it out, they are not little cubs. "
Shi Hao walked over from not far away and said to Shi Hua.
When Shihua heard Shihao say this, he glanced at the orcs who were busy dealing with the beasts and nodded.
Nanzhou saw him nod, then stood up and said, "Uncle, I'll leave the rest of my father's affairs to you. I'm going back now."
He hadn't seen his rabbit all afternoon and wondered what she was doing now.
Shihua and Shihao nodded. There was indeed nothing for Nanzhou to do here.
Nanzhou walked to the processed meat and carefully picked a few pieces. Then he walked to the animal skins and carefully picked a few skins with beautiful colors. Then he walked towards the cave where he and Lan Qingling were.
No orc had any objection to Nanzhou's behavior, and they were even grateful that Nanzhou only took a few pieces instead of taking all the ones he hunted.
Nanzhou didn't know what they were thinking.
If he knew, he would definitely say that he could eat the frozen meat every day, but his rabbits could not, and his rabbits must eat fresh food.
When Nanzhou came back, Lan Qingling had already prepared dinner and was sitting by the fire waiting for Nanzhou to come back.
Not only is she not afraid of the cold now, she also has much more strength.
The stone pot that was impossible to move before can now be lifted easily, so I no longer have to wait for Nanzhou to come back before I can start cooking.
Lan Qingling fried duck eggs and pork, boiled taro and sweet potatoes as staple food, and also roasted a lot of chicken and beef.
Lan Qingling looked at the cumin powder that had been more than half consumed, and thought to herself that she would have to find more seasoning after the spring.
You also need to look for rice, wheat and the like. It would be best to find them before next winter's cold season, and stock up more, as they won't go bad.
Nanzhou threw the meat and skins in his hands into the snow outside the cave entrance and walked in.
"Nanzhou, you're back~"
Lan Qingling immediately stood up and walked in front of him, stretched out her hand and hugged Nanzhou's arm, looking very dependent.
Nanzhou raised his other hand and touched Lan Qingling's head, then kissed her forehead, very intimately.
"Rabbit, am I back too late?"
Nanzhou followed Lan Qingling to the campfire and saw that Lan Qingling had already prepared dinner. He couldn't help but ask.
"It's not too late, I just want to prepare dinner before you come back.
Nanzhou, when you came back and saw me and dinner waiting for you, were you happy? "
Lan Qingling felt that although she hadn't seen Nanzhou for just one afternoon, she really missed him.
Nanzhou nodded repeatedly, put Lan Qingling's hand on his heart and said: "I am very happy here.
Tu'er, I haven't seen you all afternoon, I miss you so much~"
As Nanzhou spoke, he pulled Lan Qingling into his arms and rubbed Lan Qingling's head with his chin.
"I miss you as well……"
Lan Qingling hugged Nanzhou back tightly.
"Then tomorrow I will ..."
"no……"
"Rabbit, I haven't said anything yet~"
"I know what you're going to say, no, let's eat~"
Lan Qingling pushed Nanzhou away, then peeled a taro and stuffed it into Nanzhou's mouth.
Nanzhou ate taro while looking at Lan Qingling aggrievedly.
Lan Qingling sat aside eating her meal, ignoring the look Nanzhou gave her.
