The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

Originally, Hua and Xiu were quite reluctant when they came out with Jicheng. After all, home is the safest and most comfortable place. If it weren't for Jicheng saying that this was the mission of the beast god, who would be willing to go out and sleep in the open air?

But now Xiu feels that Ji really knows too much.

The experience of following Ji out for such a walk was so magical that he even thought: It seems that continuing to follow Ji outside is also a good choice?

Because there was fire to ensure safety at night, the forest was a natural hunting ground, and there was plenty of food, so Jicheng and the two brothers Hua and Xiu simply did not trek back to the tribe, but simply stayed by the river during the day. He turned into an animal like a digger under the sun, and at night he ate and repaired to regain his strength.

Jicheng and Hua Hexiu set up many large traps at the edge of the forest. The scale was much larger than the small pit that Jicheng dug at the beginning, so they no longer had to spend time hunting specifically, as long as they spent every day Just check the trap situation at a fixed time.

In addition, Jicheng also asked Hua to help break a very solid branch. After breaking off the excess branches and leaves, he repeatedly polished it on the stone to make a relatively handy spear - a tool of this world. The polishing and use of the swords were very backward, not to mention the swords that Jicheng was more accustomed to using, and even iron tools were not available.

Now that there is such a relatively hard wooden pole, it can at least improve the combat effectiveness a lot. If nothing else, Jicheng was confident that after having weapons, no one of the orcs from the Aludulu tribe would be his opponent in a single fight.

Without tools such as shovels, it is not an easy task to dig out the stones and sand accumulated in the river. Anyway, Hua Hexiu has a lot more hands and feet after two days of digging. In desperation, Jicheng went to find two thicker wooden sticks for the two of them. After grinding off the sharp spikes that pricked their hands, he took them in his hand and used them as crowbars.

Although this kind of work efficiency is not as good as the beast state, it does save a lot of effort for the two brothers, and they don't have to worry about wearing out their hands and feet.

Encouraged by Jicheng (eating melons) and watching dances (drama), Hua Hexiu dug along the river for three or four days before finally removing the sand and stones accumulated on the tributary rivers. Most of the cleaning is done.

Because it is really easy to find a crowbar, Hua and Xiu have not turned into beasts these days. Instead, they directly use their human form to dig and dig in the river. Jicheng is on the shore, and they are euphemistically called remote control. river digging project.

Under the scorching sun, Hua and Xiu were sweating profusely as they worked hard in the river.

Xiu thrust the wooden stick in his hand into the sand and pried out a stone embedded in it.

There was a soft bang, and a stream of water suddenly spurted out from where the stone had just been pried open by Xiu.

Then there was another pop, and a small stream of water flowed out from Hua's side.

Hua Hexiu looked at this scene in a daze, a little unresponsive, and then turned to look at Jicheng on the shore.

Then there were a few pops of pops, and river water spurted out from small holes in several places throughout the siltation of the river.

Jicheng had already noticed the first stream of water gushing out from the silted river, and when the subsequent streams of water gushed out one after another, Jicheng had just stood up from the shore.

But it was obvious that the current situation did not require him to step forward to check.

Because the small holes that spewed out river water soon turned into large holes, and river water quickly accumulated in the originally dry tributary river, and it spread upward at an extremely fast speed.

So Jicheng only had time to shout: "Quickly transform into an animal state!"

The next second Hua and Xiu subconsciously followed Jicheng's words, the silt that had originally blocked the river was completely washed away, and the water in the river surged toward the tributary river like a bursting of banks——

"Moo!"

The two brothers who turned into forest elephants only had time to let out a panicked howl before being swept away by the river...

Jicheng standing on the shore: "..."

——

Today is another day when the Aludulu tribe agreed to go hunting in the forest.

After the baptism of rain a few days ago, the mental state of the members of the hunting team has improved a lot, but the weather is still very hot, and everyone still looks a little wilted.

But the food reserves in the tribe have been almost eaten. If we don't go out to hunt some prey, everyone will starve to death.

Xin, the leader of the hunting team, arrived at the gate of the tribe early in the morning, waiting for the other members of the hunting team to arrive so that everyone could set off to the forest together.

It's just that he started waiting when the sun just showed a little bit, and waited until the sun was high in the sky, but the members of the hunting team still didn't come.

"Where are Hua and Xiu? Why haven't they come yet?!"

I really have no sense of time at all!

Xin thought very angrily.

The other members of the hunting team have already arrived. After hearing this, you looked at me and I looked at you. They all felt that this was not appropriate. Although Hua and Xiu are orphans, they have always been very diligent in their work. It is impossible to do this. Forget the hunting days, not showing up for so long.

Someone finally remembered something and said hesitantly: "I think I saw Hua Hexiu leaving from the gate of the tribe a few days ago."

Xin frowned: Leave?

As soon as that person said that, the others also remembered all kinds of clues, and said all kinds of things: "I seemed to have seen them going into the forest in their bestiality that day."

"I haven't seen Hua and Xiu in the tribe these days."

"They haven't come back yet, have they?"

This sounds very serious: without the protection of the tribe's walls and fire, few orcs can spend a night alone in the forest, not to mention that Hua and Xiu sounded like they haven't come back for several nights.

Xin had a bad feeling, so he immediately waved his hand and sent two members of the hunting team to Hua and Xiu's home to see if they were there.

After a while, the two orcs came back in a panic and said, "Hua and Xiu are not at home! And, and Ji next door is also missing!!"

The whole hunting team was in an uproar: "Ji is missing too?"

"I said that day I seemed to see two people on Hua's back, and I thought I saw it wrong!"

"Maybe Ji tricked Hua and Xiu out!!"

Although Ji Cheng used his mouth to fool the scale priest to let him go that day, the entire Aludulu tribe was still quite unfriendly to him, an "alien" who had no beast form and could not bring any contribution to the tribe. Of course, they would not hesitate to speculate the worst about him for such a thing.

Xin's brows furrowed deeply.

He and Ji's adoptive father Ka were both lion-type beastmen, so they were somewhat related. When Ka was still alive, the two had a good relationship. Ji used to call him "uncle".

So although he had suspected Ji's unknown background, Xin generally did not speak ill of Ji in public.

But Hua and Xiu were both important members of the hunting team, and Ji should know how dangerous the forest was. In this case, the three of them ran out alone...

Although Xin had not said anything yet, his dissatisfaction was already very obvious: this year's drought season was really unusual, and the tribe was already very difficult due to the lack of water. If an important member of the hunting team was in trouble now, it would be even more difficult to catch prey...

While he was thinking this, there was a sound of rushing water in the distance.

Xin didn't pay much attention to the sound when it first came, but the sound became more and more obvious later.

"Quick... look!" Someone suddenly pointed at the small ditches outside the tribe and exclaimed in disbelief.

Xin and the others turned their heads blankly and saw that a stream of water suddenly came slowly from the distance of the long-dried and cracked ditches, pouring into the small ditches at the entrance of their tribe from far to near.

And the water continued to pour in until it filled up more than half of the ditches.

The mud and sand swept along with the water flow slowly settled, and the water in the small ditches looked clear and clean, but Xin and others still couldn't come back to their senses.

They stared blankly at the small ditches that were empty a few minutes ago, with nothing but cracked soil, and they could hardly believe the scene in front of them.

"... Did I eat something wrong and get poisoned?" A member of the hunting team said blankly.

"Poisoning" is still a low-probability event in the Aludulu tribe. Due to the lack of medical means, poisoning is basically an experience that everyone can only have once in their lifetime. However, everyone knows that when you are "poisoned", you feel different from being healthy.

Another person hesitated and said, "... Then, am I poisoned too?"

Xin is older and more knowledgeable, so he recovered from the shock faster. Facing the small ditch that was refilled with clear river water, Xin took the lead and turned into a beast, then lay down by the ditch and tasted it gently.

After smacking for a while, Xin raised his head in surprise: "Ah~"

It's drinkable water!

The other members of the hunting team have been in the sun for a long time and have been thirsty for a long time. Now that they have been certified by the captain of the hunting team, they immediately rushed up, turned into beasts, and lay down by the ditch to drink crazily.

When Ji Cheng walked out of the forest with two wet forest elephants, he saw a group of animals of different types and shapes, drinking water by the ditch with their butts sticking out.

——Oh, they were facing the butts.

——

The news that the ditch at the entrance of the tribe had water again quickly spread throughout the Aludulu tribe. It was also spread that the reason why the ditch had water again was that Ji Cheng led the two brothers Hua Hexiu to cross the forest overnight, found the source of the ditch, and dug up the blocked river.

Of course, this was not what Ji Cheng said, but Hua Hexiu, who felt that he had made great contributions, took the initiative to tell the members of the hunting team.

So after just one night, the entire Aludulu tribe knew how powerful "Ji" had become after receiving the blessing of the beast god. The beastmen who originally rejected and hated Ji Cheng changed their attitudes a lot. After all, this was a heroic boy who brought water back to their Aludulu tribe!

Isn't he just a little thin? How smart is his brain! Isn't it that every time they come back from hunting, they have to share some food with him? He has made a much greater contribution than hunting! ... Or, we still have some meat stored at home, would you like to take some more?

Even the fact that he does not have a beast form was selectively ignored and forgotten by the residents of the tribe: it is normal to have some flaws, otherwise Ji would be too perfect!

Even the high priest Lin, who was briefly deceived by Ji Cheng and came to his senses, could not find an excuse to punish and retaliate against him again - should he tie this kid to the altar again?

It's not like everyone is out of water now!

However, the drinking water problem has been solved temporarily, but the dry season is far from over. As time goes by, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

Although the water in the small creek evaporates rapidly, there is still some water for the residents to drink with the support of the big river. However, gradually, everyone found that due to the hot weather, the animals in the forest rarely come out.

The hunting team can get less and less food after each trip.
