Searching for food through the beast world

spicy flower

That night, after people had eaten and drank enough, they all went into the small caves they had chosen to rest.

This big cave has a big hole that looks six meters high and wide from the outside.However, the cave "hall" inside is much larger and higher than the entrance of the cave.Moreover, there are more than 30 small holes deep in the cave, which can be used as camps for overnight stays for passers-by.According to He, there are many caves like this nearby. It is said that treasures left by the ancestors of the beastmen in the age of beast gods are buried under this mountain.However, many people came to explore the caves of this high mountain in groups, and it turned out that there are many caves. It's a pity that none of these big caves are connected, let alone lead to the bottom.

It is a very pleasant thing to listen to legends and stories before going to bed.Ding Xiao lay on the animal skin, pillowed on the clothes he brought, and covered with the animal skin quilt specially prepared by his father. When he opened his eyes, he could still see Kun lying on the edge of the small hole.The bonfire is not far or close to me, and it is warm and warm. This feeling is really comfortable.Sure enough, it is a wonderful thing to have enough food and drink for the whole family to go camping!

"Father, if there is a treasure left from the age of beast gods, what would it be?" During the few months of living here, with Ding Xiao's current understanding, it seems that people in the beastman world are most concerned about food and clothing level, and the related hunting and manual abilities.Crystals and jade are children's playthings, and even gold and silver are just decorations for women who like to dress up.So what else?It can’t be said that it is an ancient noodle left over from hundreds of millions of years ago (refer to "China First"), or it is the barbecue jerky that people had eaten in the beast god period, right?It's funny enough to think about it!

This question has of course not been usefully answered.It's just a family of three, you say something to each other, even trivial and useless things are happy and comfortable.Only Kun seemed to be asleep and didn't speak.It's just that although he closed his eyes, he firmly remembered every word Ding Xiao said in his heart.The more you know about Xiaoxiao, the more you can talk with Xiaoxiao in the future.The priest said that it is not a good thing for him to be so quiet. Partners always have to talk to each other to deepen their relationship.Ordinarily, at least.

In fact, although Kun doesn't seem to talk much, he always speaks to the point.In Ding Xiao's heart, he has long regarded this big guy as his own, a relative who he can trust and rely on just like his father and father.The point is that he doesn't think Kun talks too little, after all, when they are alone together, they communicate a lot, and in his opinion, Kun is just not as noisy as Jing. (Jing! Go scratch him!)

So even before he realizes that he is a lover, in Xiaoxiao's eyes, Brother Kun still has his own treasure land.

Ding Xiao enjoyed a meal of stewed pork with yam and white beans for breakfast the next day.Two big bowls made him hiccup.In fact, everyone's situation is similar, especially the females and half-orcs, who have a strong sense of identity with this breakfast that has more vegetables than meat.In fact, various meats that have been eaten for decades or even hundreds of years are the staple food of every meal. When encountering fresh and delicious meat, it is understandable that people will love the new and not tire of the old.It's just that he couldn't gallop on the back of the male beast this morning because he was too full to eat.

Before packing up his things and continuing on the road, He led his men to get out of the cave the ashes mixed with black oil fruit yesterday and buried them in the soil.Although I don't understand Dad's specific intentions, but thinking about the fact that every pearl fruit has to be raised to the level of the tribe, it is not difficult to guess the reason.These orcs seem to eat, drink and scatter besides hunting and crafting, but in fact there are quite a lot of rules.

Walked for two days in a row.At this time, it is very far away from Tianhe Village.How far is it?I'm sorry, Ding Xiao doesn't know, even if he asked Kun and He, the answer is still unknown.But in terms of the speed of the males, this place is definitely thousands of miles away.What shocked him the most was that Dad explained that they would only be able to leave the territory of the Winged Tiger Clan and enter the center of Aomori tomorrow morning.They are still walking vertically, and I don't know how big it will be horizontally.The territory of the Winged Tiger Clan really exceeded his expectations.

Talking about this topic, when staying overnight that night, Joan popularized the territorial knowledge of the orc world for Xiaoxiao.

Aomori is a huge piece of land in the middle of the world. It is connected to the silver sand in the north, the red mountains in the west, and the brown peak in the east.Only the clear water in the south is separated from these five regions by an ocean.Although Bishui's territory also has island land, but Bishui has only one race that lives in water, called the Skyfish Clan.In fact, it is also said that the Azure Dragon Clan lives in the deepest part of the clear water, but for hundreds of millions of years, people have known that the Azure Dragon Clan is just a legend.

The understanding of the Tianyu clan is due to the unique characteristics of their race.There are no males and no females in the Tianyu tribe. All the Tianyu tribe are in the state of half-orcs, and all of them can conceive and give birth to children.Although their chances of getting married and conceiving are not high, it is enough to make orcs of other races worship them.After all, no matter how low the odds are, any family of the Tianyu clan has the hope of giving birth to offspring.Therefore, the orc tribes on land have a special kind of treatment for the Tianyu tribe.

Not only all the tribes agreed to use the shellfish provided by the Tianyu tribe as the currency of circulation between the various tribes.And occasionally there are orcs on land who fall in love with people from the Tianyu tribe. After the Tianyu tribe gives birth to their first child, the male orcs will also send the first child back to Bishui.The strange thing is that even if the Tianyu people have offspring with males of other races, the first offspring will definitely be the blood of the Tianyu clan.Ding Xiao thinks that this should be due to the fact that the genes are too strong.

The half-orc in the eyes of the orcs is the man they know!Men with fish tails can have children... These mermaids actually evolved from those hermaphrodite fish, right?The Atlantic scallops are so amazing...it's really informative!

Joan didn't know much about the other landmass.But he is still very clear about the three tribes living in Aomori.

The three tribes of the winged tiger, the flying leopard, and the golden lion rule most of the land in Aomori.In terms of numbers, the Yihu tribe has several thousand more people than the Feibao tribe and the Golden Lion tribe, but in terms of speed, the Feibao tribe is much faster than the Yihu tribe, and in terms of strength, the Golden Lion tribe is faster than the Feibao tribe. The other two tribes are much stronger, but their numbers are the smallest.Therefore, there is a balance between the three tribes that restricts each other. In the past 3000 years, they have been on good terms with each other, and there have been few disputes.It's just that people in every tribe are very vigilant and cautious about their own tribe's territory.

And there are still many places in Aomori that are not owned by any orc tribe.Orcs of all races and even tribes on other lands can come in and out freely or even hunt in it.It's just that in those places, apart from the fact that the surrounding walls maintained by all the tribes are safe, even the most powerful males of the Golden Lion and Violent Bear tribes dare not act alone for too long.Especially the Death Valley, which is said to be warmed only in winter, is even more dangerous.

Listening to the situation of these orc worlds, Ding Xiao suddenly felt that his previous impressions and assumptions about this world were actually very narrow.People here don't just eat when they're out.

Although it is not as prosperous and developed as the modern human world, the tribe is absolutely important to every orc.There have been no disputes for nearly 3000 years, which means that before that, the orcs also fought for territory.So what about the future?Recalling the history of human beings, any period of peace will pass one day.Greed in the human heart only breeds after the initial straightforwardness and selflessness.I'm afraid that in any place, as long as there are highly intelligent creatures, they will inevitably follow the same law of heaven.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you thinking? Why are you frowning?" Joan turned to look at her cubs, who had been listening to her talking about the affairs of the various tribes with great interest just now.How do you say that you seem unhappy after a while?

Ding Xiao rubbed his eyes: "Just a little sleepy."

Kun came over and rubbed Ding Xiao's forehead: "Then go to sleep, the blankets are laid out for you. Do you want to eat some fruit before going to bed? Or drink saliva?"

Ding Xiao shook his head: "It's best not to eat or drink anything before going to bed. It's convenient to wake up in the middle of the night, which is troublesome. Ah yes, I have to take out the red twisted flowers I found at noon to see the wind, so don't cover my hair all night. It's bad luck." That's right, what I just thought about just now is useless at all.People have been peaceful for thousands of years, and I have a lifespan of about 100 years, so why worry about it.It's better to study carefully what can be eaten, and what is delicious is the last word!

The kenaf flower was found by Lianzhi on the trunk of a dead tree.This kind of flower is quite magical. It does not grow on the branches or between the leaves, but grows densely on the trunk of the dead tree.At first, Ding Xiao thought it was a kind of fungus, but after picking it off, he found that it was really the flower of this kind of tree.The fiery red color is quite beautiful, but for Ding Xiao, who has a slight phobia of density, the dense growth really makes his skin crawl a little bit.

Lian Zhihui found out that this kind of flower is actually very beautiful because of the three-layered appearance of this kind of flower, so he picked a few flowers and put them in his hair for a long time.In the end, he kept sneezing continuously, which is why Ding Xiao discovered the existence of this kind of flower, so Lian Zhimei's contribution is indispensable.

The reason why Lian Zhi sneezed was entirely because of the smell of the safflower.Although it smells full of flowers, but after being picked from the tree, a spicy smell will overflow from the cut.The eye of the sky shows that this thing is hot in nature, pungent in taste, and non-toxic.Warm the spleen and stomach, remove dampness and cold, promote qi and blood.It seems that it is not only edible, but also a must-have good thing in winter.Ding Xiao picked a petal and tasted it, and a smile appeared on his face immediately.But in an instant, he quickly spit out the petals.

This thing is much spicier than chili beans, but still not as spicy as Sichuan pepper, but it is much stronger than ordinary peppers.It can be used instead of chili for the time being.Besides the spiciness, this thing also has a numb feeling, which is a little lighter than peppercorns, but it can be called exciting.Don't look at the weirdness of this kind of peanuts, but they can make spicy and spicy!

It's a pity that they only found this tree that can grow kenaf flowers in the surrounding area.It is estimated that either it has not reached the growing area or this species may be very rare.In line with the principle of not missing the flowers when passing by, Ding Xiao immediately asked Kun to pick all the flowers.You ask him why he doesn't do it himself?How could I forget, Xiaoxiao has intensive phobia!This kind of flower blooms densely on the trunk...

After a night of air-drying, the kenaf flower feels good to the touch when you wake up in the morning.Joan leaned over and smelled it. The pungent scent made her want to sneeze, but it smelled good. "Smile, you said that these things can be used as ingredients like chili beans. Do you want to make them into sauce? Or dry them and turn them into powder? If such a large pile is not cleaned up, it will be ruined if it breaks. "Although there is only one tree, there are quite a lot of "harvests" on it. On the one hand, Joan is very curious about the taste of this kind of safflower when it is put together with other foods, and on the other hand, she is really worried that the flowers will rot after they fall off.It is a very sinful thing not to make good use of the resources bestowed by the beast god.

Ding Xiao touched his chin: "I can't tell. I have never eaten or seen this thing before. I just like this taste very much. Eating it in winter will definitely keep you warm. How about this? There are also a lot of flowers in the bag. I will make a bamboo tube of sauce in a while, and try to dry the rest. At noon, I will try to use this to roast meat at noon. It should be good. Dad and Kun both like spicy food. I guess you won't hate the smell."

Brother Kun on the side immediately expressed his attitude: "I like everything that Xiaoxiao does!"

Ding Xiao immediately straightened his waist: "That's right! If you dare to say that you don't like it, I won't make a small stove for you in the future!"

Kun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a doting smile on his face.It's just that it's not easy for ordinary people to notice. "What is a small stove?"

Ding Xiao raised his forehead: "The small stove is... just smaller than the big stove!"

Brother Kun nodded knowingly: "In the future, it will be the big stove. The small stove makes me not full."

Ding Xiao's mouth twitched.Is this a complete defeat?Forget it?Forget it? ! ! !
