RPAGF Chapter 58 Accident
Chapter 58 Accident
Orcs are truly a contradictory species. They are ashamed to accept verbal praise, yet they are very honest about such things.
In their eyes, procreating for the tribe is a very respectable thing. In some large tribes, there are even examples of sub-orcs serving as chieftains. After all, compared to male orc chieftains who may die in battle at any time, sub-orc chieftains are more stable.
Only in remote, strict, and weak tribes would people consider subhumans and cubs to be a burden.
After everyone dispersed, Lu Xiao followed Lin Baiyan and hugged him tightly. "I also left a cave for the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken."
Lin Baiyan looked at him, and Lu Xiao chuckled, "Didn't you build a shed for the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken with Xiong Fei and the others before? But now it's the snow season, and the beastmen are all very cold. I was thinking that the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken must feel cold too."
"We only left them a cave." Didn't Bai Yan say before that he would treat the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken like a cub?
Lu Xiao listened to him immediately.
Lin Baiyan looked at him in surprise. He didn't expect that Lu Xiao could think of the Rainbow Phoenix Chicken. Most of the beastmen didn't have a sense of crisis. They just followed orders and lived day by day.
People like Lu Xiao, who can think independently and apply their knowledge to new situations, are truly rare.
Lin Baiyan praised without hesitation, "You've thought of everything!"
……
At dawn, Lin Baiyan shivered in the animal skin quilt. After waking up groggily, the chill was even more pronounced.
He rubbed his eyes with his paws, nimbly leaped over the orcs, and poked his cat head out at the cave entrance.
Before dawn, fine snowflakes began to fall from the misty sky, fluttering down with the cold wind and landing on Lin Baiyan's outstretched paw pads, where they quickly melted.
Snowing.
As Lin Baiyan predicted, the first snowfall was just about right. The winds blowing through the mountains and forests had been getting colder and colder these past few days, and sure enough, it started to snow lightly.
According to the calendar on Earth, it should be around the Minor Snow solar term now.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the kitten shivered before running to the waterfall to wash up.
The spring water had gotten even colder, and when a handful of water was splashed on his face, Lin Baiyan immediately sobered up.
Back in the cave, Hu Qing and Quan Ling had already set up a stone pot. It was snowing outside, so they placed the pot inside the cave. Lin Baiyan happened to see it and said, "It's the first snow today, so put more ginger in the pot. Everyone should drink this to warm themselves up and avoid getting cold."
Although ginger doesn't smell good, it can dispel cold.
Hu Qing nodded, chopped up the ginger, and poured it all into the stone pot.
As a result, the entire cave was filled with the pungent smell of ginger.
The little ones scrunched up their faces as they looked at the ginger bits floating in the bamboo bowl. Compared to the adults, the little ones disliked the taste of ginger even more; they found it spicy and unpalatable.
The priest brother said this was good for the body. Although the cubs didn't know what was so good about this awful-tasting ginger, they still obediently held their breath and drank a big bowl of meat soup with ginger bits.
Lin Baiyan stood at the cave entrance, holding a bowl, watching the snowflakes drifting in the air, his expression somewhat worried. Lang Cang and the others had been gone for seven days…
Now that it's snowing, once the heavy snow covers everything, directions will become much harder to discern, and the danger outside will increase significantly, making it even more difficult to turn back.
Perhaps he was wrong; maybe the ocean wasn't that big, and they had gone the wrong way and hadn't found the ocean.
Or perhaps they're already on their way back.
Lin Baiyan's mind was in complete chaos, filled with random thoughts.
Today is the first snowfall. Before the snow falls too heavily, the beastmen are busy cutting bamboo and making charcoal. Rabbit Forest has once again led a gathering team out.
The White Flame Priest said that there would be many places where bamboo and trees would be needed later, so they should prepare more.
The male beastmen, who had just finished carving out the cave, didn't rest. They went out in twos and threes to cut down trees.
Lin Baiyan wanted to teach everyone how to make furniture.
The young man wondered if anyone wanted to learn. There were also some unrefined orcs who would sleep in a cave with a haystack, simply spreading out animal hides on it.
After a busy day, the beastmen headed back as soon as it got a little dark. By then, a thin layer of snow had already fallen. The first snowfall wasn't heavy, but it would get colder and colder from now on.
Fortunately, the White Flame Priest was knowledgeable and managed to burn charcoal, so everyone thought this snowy season would be very warm.
If Lin Baiyan knew what the beastmen were thinking, he would definitely scoff. This is considered warm? He hasn't even finished making the heated kang yet.
Lin Baiyan wanted to do it, but he didn't have the time, so he could only dream about the heated brick bed in his head.
But he will definitely lead everyone to build houses next spring!
Hu Qing and the others had already prepared the meal. After a long day of work, everyone felt warmed up after taking a sip of the hot meat soup.
Just then, the male orc inside the cave suddenly became alert. Huqiu stood up, his expression somewhat serious. "Something is approaching. I'll go check it out."
Male orcs have more acute senses.
If they were orcs, they could sense each other's presence, but that's clearly not the case now.
After Tiger Hill emerged from the cave, he squatted down and listened to the vibrations in the ground. Seeing his grim face, Lin Baiyan quickly went over and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
At this moment, Hu Qiu's expression suddenly changed. He pushed Lin Baiyan into the cave and said urgently, "Male beastmen, come out with me. Sub-beastmen and cubs, stay in the cave and don't come out!"
At his command, the male orc swiftly emerged from the cave, and Huqiu and Niulie joined forces to block the large rock at the cave entrance.
Just as the traffic jam was halfway through, we suddenly heard a rustling sound of branches being crushed underfoot coming from deep in the forest, mixed with intense tremors of the ground, as if something was approaching.
"Ow—"
A wolf howl came from the depths of the forest, followed by howls from a pack of wolves of all sizes.
Tiger Hill, transformed into his beast form, stood at the forefront of the male beastmen. Looking at the dense array of eyes hidden in the forest, Tiger Hill couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
There were at least thirty or forty wolves, staring at them with fierce and violent eyes, their gazes cold and greedy.
There are only ten adult male orcs here.
