The prince of heaven only wants salted fish
Chapter 183: Primitive Orc Sacrifice (6)
Orcs are all omnivores, but their eating habits are basically linked to their animal form. For example, those with carnivorous animal forms will prefer meat, while herbivores can completely satisfy their physiological needs by eating only leaves and grass when necessary. need.
But no matter what, when meat is available, people usually choose to eat it, not only for the taste, but more importantly, they will feel more powerful after eating meat.
It's just that there are fewer and fewer prey available now. Let alone providing meat for everyone, it is difficult to even meet the survival needs of those carnivorous animals.
In this situation, the orcs who were herbivores and the adult tribe members who were not in the hunting team decisively gave up their share of food. They could survive even if they chewed branches in the forest or grass roots on the nearby mountains.
As a hero who brought water to the tribe, Jicheng was also a young man in the growing stage (according to Aludulu's habit, he was still two years away from reaching adulthood), so he still had a small supply of meat.
However, it is obvious that continuing like this is not an option: the food source is unstable, and the dry season will not end soon. If the situation does not improve at all, it will be a matter of time before someone starves to death.
In fact, it is normal for people to starve to death in the orc society. After all, there are always some natural and man-made disasters. The Aludulu tribe even has the idea of turning into an animal state before death if it dies during famine, so that it can survive after death. The habit of letting tribesmen eat their own corpses to tide them over.
However, Jicheng believed that if the Aludulu tribe was still living in such misery after his arrival, it would be a huge loss to his dignity as the future Lord of All Realms.
Looking at the development of Wanjie in ancient and modern times, His Royal Highness the Prince believes that to solve the food dilemma of the Aludulu tribe... it is time to start planting and breeding.
Thanks to the previous world that forced He Jiankang and the others to work in the fields for several years, Jicheng is now not blind at identifying plants and growing crops. The last time he and brothers Hua and Xiu went out to look for water, Jicheng clearly remembered that there were several kinds of wild vegetables in the forest that were easier to grow and maintain.
To start a farming business, the first step is to transplant plantable crops back from the forest.
Jicheng couldn't fake this step. After all, the orcs had seen his painting skills. It was a level that Hua had personally certified as "I can draw better than you even with an elephant hoof." , whether these orcs understand or not is a problem.
Moreover, the hunting team has been leaving early and returning late in the past few days. Even if Jicheng wants to find someone to help, there is no way.
He could only enter the forest alone in the early morning when the sun was not very strong, use the prepared long gun to dig out the crops that could be easily planted, and then take them out of the forest.
However, where to plant the dug-out crops is another question.
It is safe to plant it in your own backyard, but what about plowing and watering? There are no wooden barrels to carry water here. At most, there are only ground bowls. If you use this thing to scoop water from the ditch, the engineering volume dog will shake his head when he knows it.
Finally, Jicheng decided to place the planting site on a piece of land not far from the river.
The soil there is soft and moist, and it is close to water sources, making it perfect for planting.
After considering these issues, Jicheng directly transplanted the dug wild vegetables to the wetland next to the creek.
He had a very complete plan in mind: first use these wild vegetables to do batch experiments. If the planting is successful, he can transplant some edible fruit trees and so on... Hey, Congratulations to Jiankang. How did they discover the domestication of rice and wheat? With?
He was really fed up with eating these fleshy leaves every day! !
Jicheng thought all of this very well, but the only thing he missed was his own pair of hands that were famous all over the world - the majestic Prince of Heaven, Wen Neng, could rule the country, be powerful in all realms, and be able to bring peace to the country. I can fight against all the invincible opponents in Taoist seminars, but cooking vegetables and growing flowers... ahem, let's not mention it.
So just two days later, looking at the dead wild vegetable seedlings on the ground, Jicheng said: "..."
So why did Si Ming and the others send themselves to such a world? ! ! !
Jicheng dug these dead wild vegetable seedlings out of the ground under the scorching sun, and finally discovered that he might have accidentally broken their roots when transplanting them - of course, it could not be ruled out that the sun was too strong and destroyed them. Scorched to death.
As for why He Jianjian and the others could not get rid of the roots of crops in the last world, but when they came to this place, they could only cut them off. Jicheng also wanted to know why:)
He could only venture into the forest again, and this time he not only brought back a bunch of wild vegetables, but even a small sapling.
This time Jicheng had to be more careful than last time when he started working - of course, considering that his level of handicap could not be fundamentally improved in a day or two, when he finally transplanted these plants into the coastal wetland , Jicheng raised his hand, and a burst of spiritual power was released, directly guiding the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to flow into these crops.
He didn't believe that he could still plant these things to death! ! ——
The residents of Aludulu recently discovered that Ji in their tribe seemed to be doing some weird things again recently.
Every day he left the tribe carrying something that looked like a stick with two pointed ends, but he didn't go hunting in the forest. He just played with something by the river at the entrance of the tribe.
Some residents of the tribe ran over to see out of curiosity, but found that Ji Cheng was fiddling with some tree branches and seedlings. They were small in size and didn't look delicious. Could they be used as weapons? Obviously not!
No one understood what Ji Cheng was doing. Everyone just thought that Ji Cheng had dug a river channel to bring water back to the creek, so no one dared to discuss it publicly.
However, everyone was speculating privately: What is Ji doing?
Could it be that he is too smart and has gone crazy? ?
Ji Cheng ignored the rumors in the tribe and went into the forest from time to time to bring out some strange plants.
These plants were never eaten or noticed by the orcs of the Aludulu tribe. After all, these plants didn't look tall, and the leaves were not as fresh and juicy as other trees. They were not enough for the tribesmen who were large herbivores to eat. Who would pay attention to them?
There were a few orc children who were quite curious about these things on the river bank. Sometimes, they would go outside the tribe to see what was going on, regardless of the adults' obstruction.
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and the seedlings on the river bank also grew vigorously.
And the prey that the Aludulu tribe could catch on a daily basis was almost zero.
In the days before, Hua learned a lot of skills in making traps with Ji Cheng to dig the river channel. At the beginning, these traps did increase the hunting team's harvest, but as time went by, the prey gradually decreased. Even if they set traps in advance, their harvest was no longer so ideal.
And now, at the worst moment of the drought season, there was finally a time when the hunting team that went out for a whole day came back without any harvest.
The entire Aludulu tribe was filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Although it was not long since the last hunting, there was still some food in the tribe, but this time they didn't get any harvest. So what about the next time?
How long can the food stored in their tribe last?
The beastmen who preferred meat were gloomy, and those beastmen who were mainly herbivorous were not looking good either: the weather was so hot now, and many trees in the forest were dying. If they wanted to find more edible leaves, they had to go deep into the forest, but most of their beastmen did not have strong self-protection ability!
Not to mention that they actually liked to eat meat.

At this time, Ji Cheng, who was still fiddling with branches and seedlings on the river bank every day, looked particularly calm.
Not only was he calm, he also called Hua Hexiu, a member of the hunting team, and asked them to grind a large stone into a groove, and then picked up a bunch of dead branches and leaves.
When Hua Hexiu was called away, many people from the Aludulu tribe came to watch curiously, and when they picked up the dead branches, the curiosity of the beastmen reached the extreme.
"What are you doing with these dead leaves? Can they be eaten?"
"What's so good about dead leaves? They're dry and bitter!"
"Why did Ji let Hua Hexiu pick these things up?!"
Hua Hexiu didn't say anything directly, but he had guessed what Ji Cheng was going to do.
During that time when everyone lived on the river bank, Ji Cheng taught them how to make a fire. After returning, Hua Hexiu also tried it himself, but for some reason, they couldn't make a fire by rubbing the branches.
In addition, Ji Cheng specifically reminded them on the way back, so the two brothers Hua Hexiu didn't tell anyone else about his "unique skill".
Now that they have the opportunity to "steal" from Ji Cheng again, Hua Hexiu is so excited.
If they can also make precious fire by rubbing the branches, how much more will others admire them?
With a goal in mind, Hua Hexiu works much harder when working for Ji Cheng.
This time, they observed Ji Cheng's movements very carefully. Hua noticed that Ji Cheng seemed to have selected the drill plate and drill shaft, and he was secretly careful.
Ji Cheng picked out the drill plate and drill shaft, and instructed Hua to knock a small hole in the drill plate, and then there was another set of fixed steps.
The orcs who came to watch from the Aludulu tribe opened their eyes and watched curiously--
With a sound of "clang", just like before, a small flame suddenly jumped up.
This time, Hua and Xiu had already had experience, and did not throw away the drill plate and drill shaft in their hands and run away like before. They turned over and picked up the dead branches in a proper manner, imitating Ji Cheng's previous behavior to try to make the flames more vigorous.
Wow--
However, the residents of the Aludulu tribe were boiling all of a sudden.
