I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 165 The Moon is Really Amazing

This is a wild animal called the Little White Beast. As its name suggests, it is indeed quite small. When it stands up, it only reaches about waist height. When hunting teams catch this kind of animal, they usually eat it directly and don't bring it back to the tribe.

Moon is a skilled hunter and holds a pivotal position in the hunting team. It has caught countless prey, including many large ones. Just a few days ago, it killed a Blue-Eyed Beast with its tribe. This tiny white beast, which was not even half the height of Moon's leg when it stood up, was nothing in Moon's hunting career.

But it still proudly placed the little white beast next to Bai Ling, demanding that Bai Ling praise it.

Yue did all this naturally; it didn't even consider whether such a small white beast was presentable. It simply caught its prey and brought it to Ling.

Just like Ling, whenever she makes something or finds something, no matter how small, she will proudly bring it to show it to it.

Bai Ling's eyes were full of laughter. He stretched out his thumb and stroked Yue's smooth fur: "Yue is really amazing!"

Yue's expression became even more smug. It stretched out its front paws and pushed the little white beast towards Bai Ling again, making "woof woof" noises. Bai Ling understood what Yue meant; it wanted to give the little white beast to Bai Ling.

Bai Ling smiled and said, "Yes, I accept it. Yue is great."

The moon raised its head, made a "gurgling" sound in its throat, and then turned and left.

It needs to keep hunting; one little white beast isn't enough for two people. It needs to catch enough prey to feed Ling properly and ensure she doesn't go hungry these next few days.

In his eagerness to impress Bai Ling, Yue completely forgot that the two of them had brought quite a bit of food, enough to last them two or three days.

As evening approached, the sky indeed darkened. Bai Ling carried three baskets on his back, while Yue carried a prey on her back.

Besides the little white beast, Yue hunted another wild animal, a curly-furred beast with pointed horns on its head, called a curly-furred beast. It weighed over a hundred pounds, enough for Bai Ling and Yue to eat for two days.

The sky is getting increasingly overcast, and the sun has become a white circle that can be looked directly at. It seems that it won't be long before the sun is completely obscured by the clouds.

Bai Ling and Yue put the food in the cave and then went to see the Hungchi Beast.

Bai Ling asked, "Yue, if it rains, these three huffing beasts won't be able to stay here. Are there any caves nearby?"

Yue thought for a moment: "Those caves are all too small; even people can't fit inside, let alone a Kengchi beast. But there's a recessed area on the mountain where we live where we can put the Kengchi beast."

Without further ado, Yue jumped into the valley with a rope and quickly tied up a grunting beast. Bai Ling then moved the stones at the exit to make it easier for the grunting beast to get out.

As soon as the three grunting beasts were led out, they began to gnaw on the wild grass on the ground. The wild grass that Bai Ling and Yue had thrown in before they left had all been eaten, and the wild grass on the valley floor had also been almost completely eaten. The three grunting beasts were already very hungry.

Yue led the three grunting beasts ahead, while Bai Ling followed behind. When they arrived at their destination, Bai Ling realized that the recessed area Yue had mentioned was not large, but it could barely accommodate the three grunting beasts.

After tying up the huffing beast, Yue went to the stream to wash the pottery pots, bowls, and basins, while Bai Ling began cleaning the cave.

Although the cave wasn't very dirty, it still needed to be cleaned before people could live there. Bai Ling took a large tree branch and swept the cave clean. He then lit a type of grass in the cave. This grass had a pungent smell when it burned, which insects and small animals hated. Bai Ling used the burning grass to fumigate the cave twice. The small insects in the cave either ran away or were crushed to death by Bai Ling's feet.

After cutting grass and cleaning the cave, the two went to fetch firewood. When they left last time, a lot of firewood was left at the camp. They wanted to bring back as much firewood as possible, as well as some dry grass and clean water for starting a fire.

After bringing the firewood back, Bai Ling first lit some charcoal, and then pushed the burning charcoal to the innermost part of the cave.

Bai Ling lit two fires inside the cave. Yue was puzzled: "Ling, why did you light two fires inside the cave? You could have just lit one fire at the entrance."

Bai Ling laughed and said, "No one has ever lived in this cave. The ground is a bit damp. Even if we lay down animal hides, it won't be comfortable to sleep in. I'll use charcoal to warm up the dampness on the ground. It will be much more comfortable when I go to sleep."

They also had to prepare enough grass for the Kengchi beast. Fortunately, there were many wild grasses on this mountain. Although these grasses might not be the ones the Kengchi beast liked to eat, there was no way to pick and choose at this time.

The two men cut enough grass for the three gnawing beasts to eat for three days, and then the sky became completely overcast.

The sun had disappeared, and the wind had picked up. Gusts of wind blew from afar, but they brought no coolness; instead, they made the air even more restless.

Bai Ling laughed and said, "Yue, when it rains, we can sit quietly in the cave, drink meat soup, and watch the rain outside."

Yue suddenly slapped her forehead: "Ling, we haven't prepared clean water yet. It will be inconvenient to fetch water after it rains. We need to hurry up and fetch some water. We also need to prepare the two prey animals. Before it rains, I'll prepare the prey by the stream so we can rest when it rains."

Without further ado, the two immediately took their tools and prey to the stream. Bai Ling was in charge of fetching water, while Yue processed the prey by the stream.

The stream wasn't very big, but fortunately, the two of them didn't need much water. It wasn't far from the cave either, so Bai Ling didn't bother to transform into her beast form. She filled a ceramic basin with water, carried it back to the cave, and poured it into a large, cleaned ceramic pot.

The hunting party consisted of so many orcs, and they brought out two earthenware pots. Bai Ling and Yue were the only two people, so they simply used earthenware basins to cook the meat and used both large earthenware pots to hold water.

The prey caught today wasn't any large game, so cleaning it wasn't difficult. Bai Ling had only made two trips to fetch water when Yue had already cleaned up the little white beast.

Bai Ling asked, "Yue, how would you like to eat this?"

Yue: "Ling, you can do whatever you want. I have no requirements."

"Then let's roast it," Bai Ling said, taking the little white beast in her hand and looking at it. It wasn't very big, so they could roast the whole thing.

Yue smiled and said, "Ling, I'll listen to you."

Bai Ling cut the little white beast in half from the belly. He didn't cut all the way through, but left half uncut. He spread the little white beast out and carefully rubbed it with scallions, ginger, spices, and salt, then set it aside to marinate.
