In the next few days, Yuan Chu and Wu Zhu were traveling and teaching at the same time.

What hybrid orcs need to learn is not how to identify the language of each animal. On the contrary, they need to learn how to blur and block messy information, and sort out countless tangled branches into a few clear streams.

Wu Zhu's daily task is to listen to the originally designated animal languages and filter out all the animal languages that are not specified.

"There is a snake hole ahead." Wu Zhu made a strange hissing sound from his mouth.

This is one of the objects of today's listening - silver-tailed snakes. When he focuses on this object, he will unconsciously use their language.

"A long-eared rabbit was found a hundred meters away from the snake cave." He changed the language channel again and said in rabbit language, "There are no traces of wild boars nearby."

"Not bad." Yuanchu asked, "Do you want to eat snake meat or rabbit meat today?"

Wu Zhu thought for a while and replied: "Rabbit meat, that snake seems to have just hatched a few baby snakes."

Although these animals are their food, they do not kill them indiscriminately. They hunt just to satisfy their hunger. Following the laws of the jungle, they are also prepared to be devoured by wild beasts.

"Okay." Yuan Chu had no objection, watching Wu Zhu catch the jackrabbit, skillfully cleaning the fur and internal organs, and then skewered it and put it on the grill.

Yuan Chu found some wild fruits and honey syrup, and worked together with Wu Zhu to make today's lunch.

After taking a short rest, the two continued on their way.

They have entered the range of Yunzhao Mountain, but have not yet found a suitable place for seclusion. The terrain of Yunzhao Mountain is complex, with lush trees, shrouded clouds and mist, and the rocks and vegetation form a complex and treacherous natural maze. It is difficult for humans to penetrate deep, but for orcs, it is not an obstacle. It's just that this environment is not conducive to the development of the tribe, so few orcs set foot here.

Wu Zhu asked Yuan Chu for his opinion: "Where do you think it is better for us to settle down?"

"You decide." Yuanchu believed in the choice of the son of destiny.

So Wu Zhu took Yuan Chu around for a while, and finally stopped in a secluded valley. It is surrounded by mountains, with streams and rivers flowing, and long grass and trees. It is difficult to see what is going on inside from the outside. There is only a narrow and winding passage at the exit, which is very well hidden.

After determining the place of seclusion, Wu Zhu began to think about how to remove the skull flower mark on the back of his hand.

He didn't care before because no one would come to him. But things are different now. The mixed-blood orcs have become the target of capture by the two races. The skull flower mark that can be sensed by the orcs has naturally become a hidden danger that can reveal their location at any time.

The skull flower mark is made with a special agent that can penetrate into the bone marrow, even if a layer of skin is scraped off.

"What can you do?" Wu Zhu was used to turning to Yuanchu when he encountered problems.

"What is the main raw material of the skull flower mark?" Yuanchu asked.

Wu Zhu thought carefully for a long time, then shook his head: "I don't know."

Yuanchu: "...What is this mark called?"

"Skull flower..." Wu Zhu suddenly said, "Ah, it's a skull flower."

"Yes, then do you know what the natural enemies of the Skeleton Flower are?" Yuan Chu asked again.

Wu Zhu thought seriously for a long time, and then showed the same puzzled expression as before: "I don't know."

"It's a hidden silkworm, a kind of insect that lives in the soil." Yuan Chu explained, "They like to eat the roots of skull flowers, and they have elements in their bodies that can restrain the pheromones of skull flowers. The reason why orcs can sense us is Because this pheromone is working. As long as the pheromone is removed, we will not be sensed by them."

Wu Zhu's eyes sparkled: "So that's it."

"The next step is to capture as many Cryptosporidium silkworms as possible, then raise them and collect their saliva."

Therefore, in addition to searching for food and practicing bestiality, Wu Zhu added another task to his daily life—catching ground hidden silkworms.

While Yuan Chu and Wu Zhu were hiding from the world, the hunt for hybrid orcs intensified outside. Some humans even risk going deep into the jungle to compete with orcs for resources.

The first generation of adult new orcs has shown outstanding abilities. Nowadays, the limited number of new orcs are basically in the orc tribe. Their physical fitness and natural talents make humans feel a great threat. Although the orcs have no intention of invading human territory, humans are unwilling to become a passive party.

The two tribes started a fierce battle, and all mixed-blood orcs under the age of 60 became their hunting targets.

Deep in the dark woods, there was a faint sound of rapid breathing, and accompanied by messy footsteps, a fit figure rushed out of the trees and kept running. One of the shoes on my feet fell off, and my body was covered with scratches from branches. I don’t know how long I had been running, and my whole body was soaked with sweat.

Whistles sounded one after another, and more than a dozen people were chasing after them, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, the running figure suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. His ankle hurt and he accidentally broke it.

She turned her head and looked at the darkness behind her in horror and despair...

"Right in front!" More than a dozen orcs jumped out of the woods one after another. However, the place where the target fell was empty at this time.

"Where are the people?" An orc sniffed around and found that the scent of the mark in the air had disappeared.

"She must be hiding nearby, everyone, look carefully!"

The orcs use their keen senses of hearing, sight and smell to search the dark woods.

Half an hour later, nothing was found.

"Damn it! How could that woman disappear out of thin air?"

"MD, I finally found a mixed-race female, but I actually let her run away."

"What should we do now?"

“If you look again and find it, you can’t find it, so you have to give up first.”

A dozen orcs expanded the area and worked for another hour, but still couldn't find any clues, so they had to leave in frustration.

At this time, in the valley less than a hundred meters away from the orcs, Yuanchu and Wu Zhu were sitting in a dense patch of infective grass, looking at the mixed-race female they had rescued.

The smell emitted by this infective grass can cover up its own smell very well, so the orcs outside did not find their traces.

The mixed-blood female looked down at the skull flower mark covered by silk gloves, then looked at the two mixed-blood orcs in front of her, opened her mouth and let out a low bird call: "Thank you."

Mixed-blood orcs are probably the race that masters the most "foreign languages". They communicate with each other using different animal languages.

Then this scene appeared.

Wu Zhu hissed: "Which tribe are those orcs from (snake language)?"

The mixed-race female tweeted: “Where is this (birdsong)?”

Wu Zhu hissed: "What's your name?"

The mixed-blood female tweeted: "Are you also a mixed-blood orc?"

To put it simply, snakes and birds have difficulty communicating and need to be understood slowly.

Yuanchu listened for a while, but couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the initiative to communicate: "My name is Yuanchu, this is Wu Zhu, what's your name?"

The mixed-race female looked at Yuanchu in surprise and replied: "My name is Vera, thank you for saving me."

Yuan Chu smiled and said: "You're welcome. We are all mixed-blood orcs, and we should help each other. This is our place of seclusion. If you want, you can stay."

"I'm very willing!" Vera nodded repeatedly and looked at Yuanchu with gratitude, but did not dare to look directly at Wu Zhu.

Later, Yuanchu inquired about her situation and learned that she originally lived on the outskirts of the Feixing tribe and was not taken seriously since she was a child. Later, she was forced to mate with different mixed-race males. She had no right to choose at all. If she didn't do it, she would be gone. After a few meals, she couldn't bear it anymore and finally decided to run away overnight.

Although her speed is relatively fast among the mixed-blood orcs, it is still far behind the orcs. After running for several days, she could not escape their pursuit. She thought that there was no hope of escape, but she did not expect to meet Yuan Chu, who was also a mixed-blood orc. and Wu Zhu.

Vera settled there and worked hard to help them build their home.

Cultivation of land, raising livestock, hunting, fishing, raising silkworms... life is busy and fulfilling, and more importantly, free.

Vera is very beautiful, with a toned figure, a few centimeters taller than Yuan. She has a somewhat naive personality, and her eyes have no concealment of Yuan's enthusiasm.

"If the mating partner is you, I am very willing."

Wu Zhu just returned from hunting when he heard Vera Chiguo's confession.

A little unhappy.

Wu Zhu glanced at her coldly, then walked to Yuanchu and stuffed the prey into her arms: "I'm hungry."

"Then let's cook." Yuan Chu took the cleaned prey and was about to light a fire.

Vera immediately followed over, took the initiative to help light the fire, set up pots to boil water, and chatted with Yuan Chu from time to time.

Wu Zhu watched silently, his deep eyes like a cold pool without a trace of light.

At night, Wu Zhu and Yuan Chu lay together, growing sleepy amidst the whispers of birds, animals, insects and fish.

After a moment, Wu Zhu called out: "Yuanchu."

"Um?"

"Don't mate with her."

Yuanchu opened his eyes and turned to look at him.

Wu Zhu: "I don't like it."

He made his feelings very explicit, but he didn't know why he felt that way.

Yuan Chu asked: "It's me who is mating with her, why should you like her?"

Wu Zhu made a series of mixed sounds of unknown meaning from his throat to cover up his clumsiness.

Yuanchu asked again: "Why don't you like it?"

Wu Zhu: "She... is not as beautiful as you."

Yuanchu: "Is it okay to be prettier than me?"

Wu Zhu: "...No way!"

Original: “…”

Wu Zhu finally realized that something was wrong with him. He didn't like Yuan Chu to mate with anyone, not just Vera.

Why? Isn’t it natural for males and females to mate? What reasons and qualifications does he have to object

Yuanchu turned sideways and asked, "Do you want me to be single?"

Wu Zhu corrected him: "We are hybrid orcs, not dogs, and you are not single either. You and I..."

What with him? Sleeping together? Isn't it normal for two males to sleep together

Looking at this face so close, his heartbeat suddenly became a little chaotic.

The impulse that was once induced by the aphrodisiac incense in that small building suddenly emerged without any warning.

The author has something to say: Wu Zhu: Oh no, this is a heart-pounding feeling!
