The prince of heaven only wants salted fish
Chapter 186: Primitive Orc Sacrifice (9)
Lin really couldn't figure it out. He ran to the mountain to sleep, why such bad luck could happen!
The animal form of the scales is that of a snake, and it likes warm and humid climates the most, but the hot weather in the Aludulu tribe is the dry season, and when it rains more, the weather starts to get colder again. Therefore, it is not easy for scales to find a comfortable and pleasant climate range.
So God knows how happy he was when he discovered that there was a hot spring here! !
Originally, when the weather started to get colder, according to the habits of snakes, they would reduce their activities and try to find a place to nest to reduce physical exertion. However, since there is such a warm and humid pool on Dulu Mountain, Lin always has free space. Come and take a dip.
The young man who had fooled him these past few days was sick. Lin didn't say anything, but he still felt a little happy in his heart, so he felt more comfortable in the spring water today, and even became so comfortable that he turned into an animal state. , I found a stretched position under the pool and fell asleep.
Jicheng was thrown down by Hua Hexiu and the others and heard some movement, but he was in a daze and didn't wake up much after hearing it. He didn't even have the urge to turn over and change positions to continue sleeping.
The sound of Hua and Xiu jumping in later woke Lin up a bit, but he still didn't want to move.
So in the end, after practicing that "leap of faith" into the water, he finally stepped directly on Lin's body.
Although he did not transform into the animal form of a forest elephant, Xiu's weight was not that light. This kick almost crushed Lin's lungs out - if he had lungs.
Under the severe pain, Lin screamed on the spot and jumped out of the water. All the comfort of sleep was gone. The whole person... no, the whole snake was filled with the anger of eating a living person.
Hua Hexiu also recognized Lin's animal form, and his expression was directly Spartan: "High, high priest..."
Ji Cheng had never seen Lin's animal form before, and Ji had never seen Lin's animal form several times in his memory, so he didn't react until Hua Hexiu called out, and then he yelled: " Scale Priest is good."
Although he was not in the water and couldn't see what exactly happened just now, it was not difficult to guess what was going on.
So when Lin Huan's eyes were cold and he glared at the three people, and Hua Hexiu was too scared to speak, Jicheng took the lead and spoke with concern: "Priest Lin, are you okay? Have you reached your waist? Do you want Hua Hexiu?" Click it for you?"
His tone was sincere: "The elephant steps on its back, which makes me feel better."
scale:"?"
Hua Hexiu: "?"
Thistle wants to kill me!
The two brothers turned to look at Jicheng in disbelief, their eyes shocked as if they had been betrayed by their closest comrade: You are simply not able to pick up any of the pots! !
And Lin was obviously shameless by Jicheng's words. He immediately changed his focus, from looking at the three of them coldly, to looking at Jicheng coldly.
Hey, I can’t see clearly...
Jicheng said sincerely: "If you have anything to say, why don't you just say it? I can't hear the beastly words."
Lin really wanted to get angry at these three brats - of course, the most important one was Jicheng. His animal state really couldn't make any sound that could be heard. The scream just now belonged to his character. The extraordinary performance under the pain.
So he immediately returned to his human form, pointed at Jicheng and scolded him: "You..."
There was a soft click.
Lin's expression suddenly twisted: "You..."
Jicheng raised his eyebrows and looked slightly surprised: "Oh, your waist is really flashing?"
Hua Hexiu, who had been pretending to be a quail beside him, said: "?"
There was another pop, and the scales on his stiff body with a painful expression fell straight into the water.
Jicheng kicked Hua Hexiu: "Why are you still standing there? Send the high priest back quickly!"
Just now, his yin and yang aura successfully stopped Linshuhua and Xiu, but after all, it was Xiu who stepped on the person. They must bear the blame for any injuries. Now that people have fallen into the water, they will be afraid if they are not fished out again. It’s getting cold!
Hua Hexiu finally came to his senses and hurriedly dived into the water, carrying the priest who was up to his waist to the shore.
Watching the two brothers carry the priest away, Jicheng did not forget to remind him: "Bring me back a change of clothes!!"
——
After Jicheng caught a cold, the news that the scale priest had lost his waist in an unknown place quickly spread throughout the entire tribe.
Hua and Xiu were also very guilty and guilty. They ran to Lin's cave for several days and even asked Lin Lin "carefully" if he needed the "elephant stepping on the back" that Jicheng said. Serve.
Then he was driven out by the angry scale priest.
The two brothers still felt aggrieved: "We really want to apologize!"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost died laughing after hearing this story.
However, High Priest Lin was unlucky. The hot spring was quite good for Jicheng. He soaked in it all afternoon, and after sweating, his body felt much better. Within two days, he recovered completely. I can go out in full swing again.
Now that the weather is getting cooler, working outdoors is not as hot and sunny as before. Strictly speaking, the conditions are actually a lot more comfortable. However, due to the continuous rainy days, the previous grand scene of drying fruits in every household has disappeared.
Ji Cheng didn't have to go out hunting with the hunting team. His main job every day was to urge everyone to clean up the crops on the river bank - it would snow heavily in winter. The conditions were limited now, and it was impossible to prevent snow, but at least don't let the crops that have grown be ruined!
In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince became a recognized teacher in the entire tribe: when he cooked soup that day, he showed off his skills in front of everyone. Everyone was particularly interested in his ability to make fire, so they pestered him to learn.
Knowing how to make a fire is indeed a very useful skill no matter where you are. Ji Cheng didn't intend to keep it to himself. He shared some skills openly - at the same time, he also warned everyone that they needed to be very careful when making a fire in the forest. If you set fire to the mountain, you will be imprisoned.
Soon some clever orcs had mastered the skill of making fire on their own, and every household had stored dry firewood. Now, as long as it is not raining, there will be people lighting a fire in the open square of the tribe, whether it is gathering together to keep warm and chat or cooking food, it is very convenient.
However, as time went by, the temperature dropped, and some tribesmen with thin fur in animal form no longer liked to go out: although they could warm themselves by the fire in the square, they could not withstand the cold wind!
Not to mention that it rained more often now, and people could not go out all the time.
Trouble came at this time.
It was another day for the hunting team to go into the mountains. As usual, all members of the hunting team gathered at the entrance of the tribe to take roll call.
Because of the fire and Ji Cheng's advice, everyone had improved a lot of defense facilities. Now it was no longer as dangerous as before. At least if the children played a little not far from the entrance of the tribe, the adults would feel more at ease than before.
Moreover, the busiest season for hoarding food had passed, and people like Ji Cheng who had nothing to do but loved to watch the excitement would come to the entrance to take a look.
Xin, the captain of the hunting team, stood outside the simple fence and called out the names one by one with a dignified look: "...Hua, Xiu..."
The beastmen who were called out would come out and shout "Here".
"...Yuan."
This time, no orc stood up to answer.

Xin frowned and called out again: "Yuan?"
Still no one replied.
The hunters standing in the hunting team looked at each other, and those who came out to see them off or just for fun also whispered to each other, and finally someone shouted: "Yuan didn't come!"
Orcs' biological clocks are generally very punctual, and the days to go out hunting are also set long ago, so generally speaking, orcs don't have the problem of being late, not to mention that this is a situation where everyone is there except one or two.
The last time this happened to the hunting team, it can be traced back to the dry season when the two brothers Hua and Xiu were both absent - that is, the days when they followed Ji Cheng to dig a river channel.
When Xin thought of this, he happened to look up and saw Ji Cheng coming in the crowd.
So Yuan didn't follow Ji to do anything big!
When they found out that Yuan didn't come, everyone discussed what she had been doing. Could it be that she had left the tribe and didn't return all night?
Someone said, "I remember seeing Yuan last night."
"I remember too. She picked up a lot of dry firewood. She said her father felt it was too cold and wanted to warm himself by a fire at home."
"Come to think of it, her family didn't go out today."
Xin heard other people's comments and wondered if Yuan was too comfortable by the fire at home and overslept?
He was about to ask someone to go back and find Yuan, but Ji Cheng asked with a cold face, "Are the windows in Yuan's house closed?"
The manufacturing industry in the Aludulu tribe is really underdeveloped. Although each family has a house and a residence, the construction methods are really strange and the workmanship is very simple. Some unsophisticated orcs have houses that are like water curtain caves when the rainy season comes, with dripping rain everywhere.
Yuan is a hardworking female orc. Her beast form is a deer. She has good endurance and running speed, so she is also a member of the hunting team. I didn't think so when no one said it before, but when I think about it carefully, her house is indeed the kind that is built tightly and the windows are blocked so that no wind can get in.
The beastman who said he hadn't seen Yuan and her family this morning hesitated for a moment, then nodded hesitantly: "...It seems so?"
Ji Cheng turned around and ran towards Yuan's house.
Others didn't understand why, but seeing Ji Cheng so nervous, they hurriedly followed him to Yuan's house.
When they arrived at Yuan's house, the ventilated areas in her house were indeed blocked - it was cold now, and if the vents were left open, the cold wind would easily pour in. The door of the house was also tightly closed, and the dark mud looked like a huge black hole.
Xin, who ran after Ji Cheng, was about to push the door in, but was stopped by Ji Cheng.
Ji Cheng said: "If you want to go in, cover your mouth and nose with animal skin soaked in water first."
Although others didn't know why, some of them still went to find animal skins to soak in water as he was told.
Ji Cheng stood at the front of the door, first touched the earth wall with his hand to make sure it was not too hot, and then kicked the door open with one foot. A puff of smoke rushed out, and Ji Cheng quickly turned sideways and notified others: "Spread out a little, don't block the vents."
After a long while, the person who went to get the animal skin came back. Ji Cheng took a piece of animal skin soaked in water and covered his mouth and nose. As expected, he saw Yuan and her parents lying quietly in the room, their eyes tightly closed as if they were sleeping, but their faces were extremely pale.
In the middle of the room, there was a fire without fire. Half-burned dead branches lay quietly on the ground. It can be seen that it has been extinguished for some time.
Someone covered his mouth and nose and came in from behind Ji Cheng. Seeing this scene, he pushed Yuan and her parents in panic: "Yuan, what's wrong with you? Wake up!!"
Ji Cheng signaled the person to put his hand under Yuan and their noses to check their breathing before speaking.
After a pause, he sighed, turned around and went out, and asked someone to carry Yuan and her parents out of the room first.
