The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

Although they had heard Ji Cheng mention the volcanic eruption long ago, and Ji Cheng himself had exaggerated the dangers countless times, the orcs were still shocked when they really encountered it.

A huge cloud of ash rushed straight into the sky amid the earthquake, and the fiery red magma gushed out from the distant mountain. Before they could see clearly, the rolling dust and sand like a dark cloud had already swept towards them, as if they were about to arrive in an instant - you have to know that they had walked this distance for a full five days!

Thanks to Ji Cheng's timely shouting, the orcs who were still in a daze just woke up from their dreams and hid in the cave. The remaining few who were far away and didn't have time to come also suddenly had a sudden inspiration and jumped directly into the stream next to them.

A few seconds later, a huge heat wave swept over, and one of the unlucky ones jumped into the stream too slowly, and his tail was burned. He wanted to scream in pain - but he realized the reality the moment he opened his mouth, and quickly adjusted his state to "it's good as long as my life is saved."

After a long time - or it seemed like only a few seconds, the shivering orcs finally dared to get out of the cave.

At this time, the sky had darkened, but not because the sun had set, but because the gray clouds and dust that covered the sky had covered the entire sky, and the sunlight could hardly penetrate at all.

Those orcs who jumped into the water had already poked their heads out of the water because they couldn't hold their breath, but when they saw the smoke and dust that covered the sky, they couldn't help but be stunned, so much so that they forgot to run into the cave.

"Why is it so warm..."

The orcs came out of the cave and the stream one after another, and no one knew who was the first to look back in the direction they came from, and shouted in the crowd: "Forest, forest!"

Everyone looked back after realizing it, and then saw a sky-high flame rising from the cliff.

Because they were under the cliff, they couldn't see the situation on the mountain very clearly, but the fire above was so strong that it almost lit up the clouds and dust covering the sky. Just this point was enough for them to know that the situation above was not optimistic.

The fire above burned like this, how can the original place of the tribe be good?

Most of the orcs thought of this. Some people's expressions were tense, some people's expressions were sad, and they had anticipated the fate of their homes. Some people thought of Ji Cheng. If he hadn't insisted on leading everyone to evacuate, would everyone be engulfed by fire like the forest above when the volcano erupted?

Some people jumped up and screamed: "My belongings--"

"Shut up!" Ji Cheng pressed the man violently, "Didn't you have a lot of fun just now? Why are you crying now?"

That's right, the one who jumped up was one of the young orcs who was still sarcastic about Ji Cheng's lack of beast form, Nian.

Nian was pressed by Ji Cheng like this, and the whole person screamed again in an instant-he was the unlucky guy who was slow to jump into the stream just now. Not only was all the tail hair burned, but the exposed skin was also burned a lot. Now that Ji Cheng pressed him to the ground like this, he touched the wound and was in so much pain.

"Tail! My tail!!"

Ji Cheng then noticed Nian's bald tail, and he laughed with gloating: "It's okay, it looks good."

Nian: "???"

Is it a question of whether it looks good or not? No, it doesn't look good at all, okay? !

Other orcs were very depressed when they found their homes destroyed, but now that Ji Cheng and Nian had disturbed them, their mood miraculously improved.

Ji Cheng said: "What is lost is lost, and it's useless to regret it. Looking at the current situation, everyone will have a very difficult time in the next period of time. Instead of thinking about how the tribe is now, it's better to think about how we should live in the future."

——

Facts have proved that Ji Cheng was right. Soon the orcs of the Aludulu tribe realized that there was a long-lasting gray cloud in the sky, which meant that the ground could not receive much sunlight.

The eruption of Mount Duru was not just on a certain day. After the most violent eruption that day, Mount Duru would have another small eruption almost every few days. In this situation, of course, everyone did not dare to return to the tribe to check the situation, and could only stay in the cave and rebuild a new home.

They originally thought that the biggest challenge was to adapt to the new hunting ground, to be familiar with the terrain and types of prey here, and to try to avoid injuries, but soon the beastmen found that it was difficult for sunlight to reach the ground, and the weather quickly became cold.

Originally, the weather this year had gradually warmed up and even became hot, but this time it directly made everyone return to winter, and beasts like Lin couldn't help but have the urge to hibernate.

Now everyone realized how far-sighted Ji Cheng's decision to ask them to bring animal skins was.

With the efforts of everyone, the Aludulu tribe gradually adapted to life in the new place. Everyone rebuilt simple huts on the open space outside the cave, and the hunting team was organized to go out to look for prey at a fixed time every day.

To be honest, the volcanic eruption has caused great changes to the ecological environment here - the lack of sunlight has made the air cold, and the trees under the cliff have become very withered. Although the place where the Aludulu tribe is now located has not been affected too much by the volcano, the accumulated dust on the ground is obviously more than before. This will not only affect the walking posture and feeling of the orcs, but also have a huge impact on some animals living underground.

This undoubtedly affected the food source of the beastmen. Not to mention that prey was harder to find than before, Hua and other herbivorous beastmen complained that the leaves here were dry and difficult to stir because of the thick layer of dust on them.

Fortunately, under Ji Cheng's guidance and reminders, everyone gradually overcame these difficulties.

Ji Cheng himself developed a new interest and began to run into the woods all day long, and then brought back some strange-shaped grass leaves, saying that crushing them and applying them to the injured area could accelerate the healing of the wound.

Nian, whose tail was burned bald before, immediately became the first experimenter with honor.

When Ji Cheng first called his name, Nian was almost scared to pee.

After all, based on the feud between him and Ji Cheng, Nian reasonably suspected that Ji Cheng's "helpful wound recovery" was just a cover-up.

Maybe Ji's real purpose was to use these "medicines" as an excuse to poison himself to death! !

With such doubts, when Ji Cheng asked someone to apply medicine to Nian for the first time, the boy performed a show of refusing to yield even if he would rather die than yield on the spot - of course, it didn't work.

When Ji Cheng put his wooden spear with an unusually sharp tip across Nian's neck and asked him whether he would apply medicine or not, Nian had to admit that refusing to yield even if he would rather die seemed not such a simple thing...

Nian was very frustrated with the ugly grass juice applied on his tail: he actually failed to keep his bottom line!

But soon Nian found that his tail, which had been burned and was always burning, was not so painful after Ji Cheng applied the grass juice that he didn't know how to get!

Not only did it not hurt, but it even felt faintly cool!

Nian, who was very resistant to Ji Cheng, finally realized that he seemed to have wronged a good man.

After going through so much, Nian was actually somewhat convinced by Ji Cheng. So after realizing his mistake, he also showed a guilty expression on his face: "I'm sorry..."

Then he saw Ji Cheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Fortunately, I'm not wrong, this is indeed for treating burns."

Nian: "..."

Wait, so you are not sure what this medicine is used for before applying it? ! !

In addition to the above miscellaneous things, there is another thing that must be mentioned.

During one of the hunting team's outings, they met another team of orcs.

The other team of orcs did not belong to the Aludulu tribe.

The members of the hunting team grew up in the Aludulu tribe. Although they had heard some legends about dealing with other tribes in the past from their elders, for them, they had never seen orcs who were not members of the Aludulu tribe-except Xin, who said that when he first joined the hunting team as a teenager, he met a lone orc. The other party was not from the Aludulu tribe, but from another tribe that seemed very far away.

However, because of the long time and the lack of support from others, the younger generations regarded this as Xin bragging.

So you can imagine how surprised they were when they saw such a strange team of orcs.

Of course, the orcs on the opposite side obviously had not seen strange orcs very often, so they also had a very surprised expression.

And because both sides were unfamiliar and wary, they did not communicate too much, but the orcs on the opposite side took the lead in reporting their names and the name of their tribe: "Mi, Birim Tribe."

Ji Cheng was not in the hunting team. At this time, it was Xin who led the team, so he also reported: "Xin, Aludulu Tribe."

The communication between the two sides stopped there. Xin and the leader named Mi on the opposite side nodded politely to each other, and then kept a face-to-face posture and retreated cautiously.

So the hunting that day was also unfinished. Xin directly led the members of the hunting team back to the current station of Aludulu, and sent two tribesmen whose beast form was birds to try to find the traces of Mi's team just now, and it would be best to see if they could find the location of the "Birim Tribe".

After returning to the tribe, Xin immediately explained the matter to the other orcs in Aludulu.

Like the members of the hunting team, most of the tribesmen showed extremely surprised expressions. Lin was slightly better. Considering his high priest's posture, he still pretended to be calm, but from his shrinking pupils, it can be seen that Lin was actually shocked.

"Birim tribe? Haven't heard of it?"

"Have you heard of which tribe?"

"... Have you heard of it?!"

The orcs chatted in a flurry, and Ji Cheng silently moved his eyes to Lin - Lin was the high priest of the tribe, not only representing the divine power and the leader's power, but also he inherited the most knowledge from Aludulu generations.

If anyone knows the news of other orc tribes, then the person who is most likely to have heard of the name "Birim" must be Lin.

However, Lin slowly shook his head after thinking about it: "Birim Tribe? I haven't heard of it from my elders."

The discussion among the orcs became more heated: "Never heard of it? What's going on?"

"How did the Birim Tribe come from? Have they always lived around here?"

"Then what should we do? Ignore them?"

Xin hesitated and said: "If I'm not mistaken, the hunting team led by Mi should also be from their tribe. If so, they should have been active in that area all the time. As long as our hunting team sets out as usual tomorrow, we may run into them again."

And even if he couldn't find it, he had sent members of the hunting team to find the location of the Birim tribe. As long as they really wanted to, it shouldn't be a problem to find it.

——So, their question now is, to meet or not?

A new tribe that they had never heard of or seen before was so new to the orcs of the Aludulu tribe that they didn't know what attitude to take to face it - or to be more precise, most people hadn't thought about it yet.

And the orcs who could think of this couldn't come up with an idea.

So a few people looked around, and finally their eyes fell on Ji Cheng again.
