Traveling through the world of beasts: I lead the system to build an empire

These tunnels are where Mu Zhuo usually lives, but there are no signs of life as Su Mo thought.

There were no cooking utensils, animal skins, or stored food, not even any signs of a fire.

It was very similar to the cave Ling Han was in at that time.

I guess all single orcs are like this, living a rough life.

Only when they find females will they be more meticulous, at least having the habits of storing things and cooking.

Without giving Su Mo much time to visit, Mu Zhuo picked a hole and crawled in.

The long corridor was not very spacious and could only accommodate one male beast.

It's difficult to turn around.

There would be a new fork in the road every few turns, and combined with the eerie and dim environment, Su Mo suddenly remembered a tomb-robbing novel she had read before.

At that moment, Su Mo felt the cold and damp air blowing towards her in this narrow and winding passage.

It seemed to carry the breath of time and death.

The chill instantly spread from the soles of my feet to the base of my tail, and finally reached the top of my head.

Su Mo always felt that there were strange noises coming from the passage, as if something might jump out from behind her at any time.

Rubbing the goose bumps on her arms, Su Mo lay on Ling Han looking for a sense of security.

"cold?"

Feeling the slight tremor of the female on his back, Ling Han asked with concern.

"It's not cold, I just want to hug you."

After hearing the female's words, Ling Han's snake face suddenly revealed a human-like smile.

But even though Su Mo didn't say anything, he couldn't help but pay attention.

I carefully felt the female's breathing, heartbeat and body temperature, and only felt relieved when I confirmed that everything was fine.

The big cats saw the interaction between the two.

They looked at each other.

As expected, I saw the same shock on my companion cat's furry face.

This Ling Han is so favored? !

Among them there are females, and they are naturally aware of their position in front of females.

There are no females. Just look at your father and you will know how males are treated.

In all my years, I have never seen a female clinging to a male in such a clingy and dependent way.

Of course, green sprouts don’t count.

They all knew what Green Bud was like.

She just feels insecure and subconsciously relies on the strongest male in the family.

It looks different from Su Mo's.

So there must be a reason why the female Su Mo would form a mate with a stray beast, right?

This big snake must have some secret!

Several big cats, whether they were in a relationship or single, reached a consensus at this moment.

They want to learn from a master!

The big cats made their decision so quietly that Su Mo didn't notice.

As for whether Ling Han was unaware of it or noticed it but didn't want to pay attention to it, only he knew.

Su Mo was not in good shape, but in such an environment, Mu Zhuo looked much more comfortable.

Perhaps because he was at home, Mu Zhuo didn't look so tense.

A group of people followed Mu Zhuo and walked in twists and turns in the passage for a long time.

It took so long that Su Mo got used to such a dark environment.

After calming down and no longer afraid, Su Mo felt a little hungry.

He simply sat on Ling Han's back and ate the fruit he brought with him.

"How long until we arrive?"

After eating almost all the fruit, Su Mo asked Mu Zhuo.

She really didn't expect that the salt mine was so far away from the tribe. With her own walking speed, she probably wouldn't be able to get there before dark.

"Come on, it's right in front."

Mu Zhuo, who was concentrating on getting on his way, didn't react for a moment. He was stunned for a moment and then answered timidly.

"We're almost at the Northern Continent." Ling Han added.

Su Mo was surprised.

Do these caves really connect the continents?

On the system panel, Lingyi showed Su Mo their real-time location.

From the bird's-eye view, the Tiger Tribe is surrounded by mountains on three sides.

To the west is Pingding Mountain, with the unreachable Beast God Mountain at its back. To the north and south is a continuous mountain range, blocking the road to the north and south continents.

No matter which continent you want to go to, for safety's sake you should head east, to the Eastern Continent, bypassing the mountains where giant beasts gather.

Of course, this does not apply to powerful and experienced orcs like Shigu.

At this moment, the red dot representing Su Mo has reached the foot of the mountain at the border of the northern continent.

[The Tiger Tribe went to the heart of the northern continent. It took four months on land and seven hours underground. Congratulations! ]

Lingyi was setting off fireworks in Su Mo's mind.

[However, skilled and courageous orcs can also cross the mountains, which will probably take nearly a month. ]

Su Mo was clear about this, after all, Shi Gu had just led a group of orcs across the mountains a few days ago.

Mu Zhuo explained, "Hu Pang asked me to dig this."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he added, "He paid for the prey."

Su Mo immediately understood his subtext.

She remembered that Mu Yang had told her before that if Ling Han went to find Mu Zhuo, Mu Zhuo would help for free.

But judging from his appearance today, Mu Zhuo is extremely afraid of Ling Han, and might have come to help because of threats or intimidation.

No.

Needless to say.

Su Mo was 100% sure that Mu Zhuo came just to collect debts.

So Su Mo immediately showed her female style and said, "I'll ask Mu Yang to give you some prey later."

The brown ball in front immediately became happy and made two strange noises.

The sound was like a baby crying at midnight.

Coupled with the eerie atmosphere of this underground cave, it simply makes people feel creepy.

You can see that he is very happy.

But if you shout, it would be impolite.

Su Mo forced a slightly stiff smile.

As they went deeper, Su Mo could clearly feel them going downwards.

The temperature inside the cave also gradually dropped.

Fortunately, Su Mo listened to the two males before going out and wore a thicker animal skin skirt, so she didn't feel cold.

Gradually, some condensed white particles could be seen on the wall.

Su Mo knew that the destination was just ahead.

Turn two more corners.

suddenly see the light.

This is an extremely spacious cave.

The cave was full of yellowish stones, but they looked much cleaner than the salt stones exchanged from the Beast City.

The system prompt sound also sounded at the right time.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for finding the cornerstone of tribal development - the salt mine.

Salt has the functions of maintaining the water-salt balance of living organisms, ensuring the normal excitability of nerves and muscles, and maintaining acid-base balance. It is one of the essential substances for living organisms and is of great significance to orcs.

Reward points: 1000. 】

There are some signs of excavation in this mine, probably dug by Mu Zhuo or Hu Pang.

As for why, after guarding a salt mine for so many years, he still has to go to Beast City to exchange salt?

Su Mo also understood Zhuyue's intention.

Salt is a necessity.

There are so many orcs in their tribe, and if they don't exchange for salt, it will arouse suspicion.

What's more, there are undercover agents from the temple in the tribe.

It seems that even if refined salt is produced in the future, orcs must be sent out to exchange it.

Keeping this in mind, Su Mo called a few orcs to collect some salt stones and bring them back to the tribe.

Then he turned to Mu Zhuo and asked, "Can you take me to see other mines?"

Mu Zhuo nodded hesitantly at first, but finally gritted his teeth.

Made some resolutions.

"I can take you there, but I want a prey! Hu Pang only paid for the prey to go to the salt mine."

Su Mo knew that Mu Zhuo had a trading relationship with the Tiger Tribe, and he was not an orc from the Tiger Tribe.

This way, the money and goods are exchanged for goods, which is better, and you don't owe anyone a favor.

I'm afraid he'll help for free.

She doesn't believe there is a free lunch in the world.

However, this also made Su Mo once again clearly understand Mu Zhuo's laziness.

A male five-striped beast actually has to rely on trading with others to support himself, otherwise he won’t even have enough to eat.

I can only say that Mu Zhuo is really a man of personality and principles.

"Okay, I'll let Mu Yang give it to you later."

Su Mo agreed readily.
