Traveling through the world of beasts: Beast husbands! Stop snatching!

Zehui moved closer and smelled her scent carefully to confirm that she was really in heat.

Estrus? Such straightforward words blurted out, making Yuan Xiao, a modern person, a little embarrassed. But this is the animal world after all, and everyone said so, so she had to pretend to be calm and answered: "Don't make a fuss, this is normal, women, there are always a few days every month when they feel uncomfortable."

"Every month? You mean you do this every month?" Zehui was a little surprised.

"Yeah, our women, well, females, are all like this."

Zehui couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

In the Eternal Forest, there are only two seasons a year, the rainy season and the dry season. Females here usually go into heat once in the middle of each season, and some even only go into heat once in the rainy season.

And his females go into heat 12 times a year!

For orcs, reproduction is the top priority, especially for the royal orcs. If they knew about it, they would definitely fight and snatch.

It would be even worse if they were discovered by wild beasts or demon beasts. They might even be used as tools for sexual gratification and reproduction...

He had to awaken his soul as soon as possible and make himself stronger so that he could protect his beloved little female.

Yuan Xiao had already put a sanitary pad on her small underwear made of large leaves, then called out to Ze Hui who was lost in thought, and the two fell asleep in each other's arms again.

Since orcs have very sharp senses, for safety reasons, Zehui told Yuan Xiao to stay at home for the next few days to avoid being discovered. She also didn't want to become the object of competition, so she stayed at home obediently.

Yun Feng hadn't come back for several days since he left. Yuan Xiao thought that he might have recovered and gone to find his tribesmen.

In addition to hunting, Zehui also bought a lot of new things for his home these days. A wooden bed, a table, and a large cabinet. He had never seen these things before, so he made them based on Yuan Xiao's description and simple drawings. The edges were also polished so that they would not scratch her at all.

Yuan Xiao was not idle either. She followed Xiaochu to learn about the animals and plants in the Eternal Forest. She had a good memory and could remember almost all of the plants and animals in the forest.

One of Chu's tasks was to collect 10 kinds of plants. She also added a few spices that could be used for cooking. She described these plants to Zehui one by one and asked him to help her find them when he went hunting every day.

Among the 10 plants, only two or three require a little effort, and the rest are relatively common. In addition to the spices, Zehui brings back a few every day, and he has collected them all in the past few days.

The reward for this task is a black stone container called Baizhuan Ding. Xiaochu told Yuan Xiao that this Ding can be used to refine some elixirs. The most basic one is to use those 10 kinds of plants to make a nourishing pill.

Qi-nourishing pills can nourish the body, help it accumulate energy, and are helpful for the awakening of the soul and the upgrade of the star of the divine beast. However, the effect of a single pill is average, and it needs to be taken for a long time to be effective.

It takes half a day to refine this cauldron each time, and it can refine 5 nourishing qi pills. Yuan Xiao asked Zehui to eat one every day, and she followed suit. Although she is not a divine beast, it is good for the body after all, and there is nothing wrong with eating it.

After the Baizhuan Ding was unlocked, the herbal medicine catalog was also unlocked, and Yuan Xiao also learned how to make some commonly used medicines.

Finally her period is over and she can go out and about. She plans to continue selling wreaths, but will add some more female-friendly clothing.

Clothes in the animal world can be made not only from different kinds of animal skins, but also from some plant leaves. They are usually smooth and shiny on the outside, contain very little water, yet are flexible and strong. Yuan Xiao made herself some underwear with these leaves.

She has very skillful hands and can make several styles of skirts. With the addition of new products, her small business has become even better.

That day, Yuan Xiao wanted to find Jia Mei to go to the market as usual, but Jia Mei came running over with an excited look on her face, pulled her along and walked out.

"Where are we going?" She was confused by Jiamei's sudden action.

Jia Mei was a little out of breath after running: "Today, we are not going to the market. Let's go and watch the fun! Our tribe is going to elect a new leader!"

Yuan Xiao was a little surprised. Zehui must have known about such a big thing, but he had never mentioned it in front of her.

Although this tribe is called the Tiger Tribe, it is actually inhabited by four tribes of beastmen: tiger, fox, wolf, and dog. An election is held every year, and the tribe is named after the tribe that wins. The Tiger Tribe has won the last four elections, so the tribe is naturally named after the Tiger Tribe.

They trotted all the way to the foot of the mountain, where there was a huge, flat piece of granite, used as a fighting arena. There were four stone benches under the arena, reserved for the elders of the four tribes, who would serve as referees for the fight. The perimeter was filled with orcs of various tribes, all screaming and shouting, and the atmosphere was very exciting.

The way of election is also very primitive, which is to compete with fists. Only human form can be used, and animal form cannot be used. The winner is the one who knocks the opponent down so that he can never get up again.

The winner will serve as the defender of the next fight and will accept the challenge of the attacker. Any adult male beast in the tribe, regardless of race, can come up to challenge.

Amid everyone's cheers, the old leader went up to the stage.

The leader looked like a middle-aged orc with a long scar on his face. Although he was not particularly tall, the fierceness between his eyebrows revealed the majesty of a strong man.

Before Yuan Xiao could ask, Jia Mei took the initiative to introduce her: "He is our former leader Zhisheng. He has been the leader for two years. Look at the scar on his face. It was the injury he suffered when he led us to fight against the cannibals when the barrier was opened last year. He was so powerful!"

The shouts around him were getting louder and louder, so Yuan Xiao had to raise her voice: "What's going on with the barrier being opened? Are there cannibals?"

"I'll tell you slowly after it's over! Let's watch it first!" After saying that, Jia Mei followed the orcs around him and shouted towards the ring.

At this time, a young man from the dog tribe came onto the stage.

Everyone paused for a moment, and then burst into even louder cheers than before.

Zhisheng looked at the canine boy calmly. As soon as the boy stood firm, he couldn't wait to launch an attack.

He went up and wanted to punch Zhisheng, but unfortunately he was dodged. He was unwilling to give up and punched again, but his speed was obviously not as fast as Zhisheng's, so Zhisheng kicked him in the stomach instead and he fell to the ground.

He originally thought that Zhisheng had passed his prime and his physical strength was no longer as good as before. So today he also had the opportunity to take this position.

But after this test he realized that he was no match for Zhisheng at all.
