In a few months, the valley has undergone considerable changes. Several wooden houses stood against the mountains, and several pieces of mountain land were reclaimed and vegetables and fruits were grown. In addition, several open areas were enclosed and some hares, pheasants and wild boars were raised. A fish pond was dug near the river bank, where water was diverted and fish and shrimp were raised in captivity.
The three of them are not only self-sufficient, but also have a lot of surplus.
Wu Zhu was studying every day, learning to craft, learn to weave, learn pharmacology, learn breeding, and learn animal language. Although the progress was not fast, he was diligent and conscientious and never slacked off at all.
Vera also learned many life skills, and her personality became more and more cheerful. No matter what problems she encountered, Yuan Chu always answered them patiently. Her admiration for Yuan Chu was visible to the naked eye, but Wu Zhu's behavior of marking Yuan Chu from time to time made her give up the idea of courting and settle down to be her little crush.
There is no winter in Yunzhao Mountain, and the lowest temperature is no more than 10 degrees Celsius. It can be said to be very livable. Although the physique of mixed-blood orcs is not as good as that of orcs, it is much stronger than that of humans. When it is cold, only a single piece of clothing is enough.
Most of the clothes of the original three people were picked up and slightly modified to make them barely usable.
The weaving process is relatively complicated, and there is a lack of materials and tools. They do not yet have the conditions to activate this skill.
"Chu." Wu Zhu returned to the valley and brought a message, "Humans and the Rock Tribe are at war."
"Really?" Yuanchu put down the hoe in his hand. Said, "Come on, let's go take a look."
"What are you going to see?" Wu Zhu was puzzled.
"Let's see if there's anything we can pick up." They couldn't trade with the outside world, and apart from food, they were in short supply of other daily necessities.
Without hesitation, Wu Zhu followed Yuanchu out of the valley and ran towards the direction of the battle.
They have successfully removed the skull flower mark on the back of their hands. They don't have to worry about high-level orcs sensing them. With the help of animal language, they can almost move freely in the jungle.
When the two were less than a kilometer away from the battlefield, they slowed down and slowly approached.
Gunshots, collisions, shouts, screams... came from over there from time to time. The two sides were fighting fiercely. There were about three hundred people, and the scene was quite chaotic.
Yuan Chu and Wu Zhu lay down behind the hillside, secretly observing the situation on the battlefield.
At this moment, a high-pitched roar sounded in the orc team, and then a vigorous figure shot out quickly, with a cold light flashing in his hand. Wherever he passed, human soldiers fell one after another, and they stepped over several people. At a distance of 100 meters, he killed the opponent's commander.
This man is in his twenties, with long chestnut hair hanging casually on his back, his skin is covered with light brown tire marks, and he is as agile as a cheetah. His joining instantly reversed the stalemate situation. Human weapons could not hit him at all, and they could only watch helplessly as he harvested the lives of soldiers wantonly.
After dozens of minutes, the human team finally broke up and fled in all directions.
"Ouch—" The orcs took advantage of the victory and pursued it, seemingly intending to kill them all.
"Is that... the new orc?" Wu Zhu stared at the man with long chestnut hair and asked uncertainly.
"Yes." The new orcs combine the excellent genes of the two races and have a strong body, smart mind, extended lifespan and amazing self-healing ability. In fact, they also inherited the talent of bestiality, but because of the automatic optimization of the brain, this talent that would cause a burden on the brain is hidden, and through acquired training, it can be stimulated little by little.
The predictions of humans and orcs are not wrong. The future of this world belongs to the new orcs. Strictly speaking, they should be called the "new race". They are not just members of the orc clan, but the mixed-blood orcs in the transitional period are the replacement of the new generation. Guan Jian is the ancestor of all new races.
Wu Zhu silently weighed the strength gap between him and the new orcs in his heart, and a fighting spirit could not help but appear in his eyes. He is no match now, but he will definitely be able to defeat him in the future.
"Get ready." The original voice interrupted his thoughts.
Wu Zhu looked at her questioningly: What are you preparing for
"Look at those hybrid orcs." Yuanchu pointed out.
Wu Zhu turned around and saw dozens of mixed-blood orcs standing together on the chaotic battlefield, and several mixed-blood orcs took advantage of the chaos to escape. Most of the orcs were busy chasing humans, leaving only a few orcs to guard.
The original target was the escaped hybrid orcs.
"What to do?" Wu Zhu supported all her decisions.
"Use different animal languages to remind them to run in the direction of the valley." After Yuanchu finished speaking, he took the lead in demonstrating and let out a deer cry.
Wu Zhu followed closely behind and let out an eagle cry.
The two of them were sneaking while simulating the sounds of various animals to attract the attention of the hybrid orcs.
Their efforts were not in vain. Several mixed-blood orcs adjusted their directions one after another and ran towards the valley.
Yuanchu and Wu Zhu followed behind to clean up the footprints and smells, and made some disguises along the way to avoid being tracked by the orcs.
"Why do there seem to be a few missing?" An hour later, the orcs who were chasing humans regrouped and found that the number of mixed-blood orcs was wrong.
"Five of them ran away." The new orc with long chestnut hair glanced casually and said, "4 males and 1 female."
"Asshole, do they think they can run away?" the orc with a scar on his face said angrily, "Ku Ya, you go back first, I will take a few people to catch them."
Kuya straightened up, put the blood-stained dagger back into its holster, said hello, and walked away with the corpses of his companions and the mixed-blood orcs, leaving only Scarface and six or seven other orcs.
They are all masters of survival in the wild, and with the existence of the skull flower mark, it stands to reason that it is not difficult to track those hybrid orcs. but. They wandered around the jungle for several hours, but were unable to locate the hybrid orcs. After searching for directions many times, they finally lost all trace of them.
In the valley, the five new mixed-blood orcs looked at everything around them curiously.
"If you are willing, you can live here." Yuan Chu spoke in universal beast language, which most mixed-blood orcs could understand.
"Thank you." Tan Ci expressed his gratitude to Yuan Chu and Wu Zhu on behalf of his companions. Then he paused and said hesitantly, "But I think... I can't stay here."
"Why?" Yuan Chu looked at him calmly, probably guessing the reason for his refusal.
"My child was kidnapped by the Rock Tribe, and I have to rescue him." Tan Ci looked at his companions again, "Will you stay? It looks very safe here."
"Brother, I will go with you to save Xiaoqiu." Zhan Ci immediately expressed his stance.
The hybrid orcs did not completely follow the traditions of the orcs, and their offspring were raised by everyone in the tribe. Most of them live in isolation and are more accustomed to family units.
The remaining three looked at each other, hesitant.
These mixed-blood orcs have lived together for a long time. They have deep feelings for each other and are unwilling to give up their companions. However, the power of the orcs makes them afraid. As long as they get close, they will be immediately sensed by the high-level orcs, not to mention that there is another person in the Rock Tribe. With the new orcs' incredible strength, it is completely impossible to save people.
"Besides Xiaoqiu, do you have any companions you want to save?" Yuanchu suddenly asked.
Tan Ci glanced at her in confusion and replied, "There are 14 of us in total."
The Rock Tribe destroyed the residence of two hybrid orcs this time, and they were one of them.
Yuanchu: "Do you think your companions are willing to settle here?"
"Of course." They didn't want much, just a place to settle down.
Yuanchu: "Then save them all."
Everyone looked at her blankly.
Save them all? It was said as if it was very simple, and they almost believed it.
Yuan Chu looked at Wu Zhu: "Wuzhu, you first go to the Rock Clan to inquire about the location of the beast's nest and the layout of the sentry."
Wu Zhu nodded.
Yuan Chu looked at Tan Ci again: "You go with us, the others stay."
"I'll go too." Zhan Ci thumped his chest.
Tan Ci frowned: "I don't want to implicate you."
They all know that this is a road with no return.
"Don't worry, we have our own way." Yuanchu took out a bamboo tube from his waist, "Now, let's help you remove the skull flower mark first."
Tan Ci: "???" The mark of the skull flower can actually be removed? !
Late at night, Wu Zhu took Tan Ci and followed the traces left by the Yan tribe to find their tribe.
After a fierce battle, most of the Rock Clan warriors had fallen asleep, leaving only a few vigilant orcs patrolling around.
Without the pheromones imprinted by the Skull Flower, the auras on Wu Zhu and Tan Ci were almost the same as those of ordinary orcs, and their approach did not attract the attention of the orcs.
"Found it." Tan Ci reminded softly in animal language.
Wu Zhu looked at the beast's nest not far away, a pair of deep eyes twinkling faintly in the darkness.
There are two guards at the entrance of the beast's lair. A sneak attack can solve the problem, but the real problem is how to take a dozen hybrid orcs out quietly.
When she and Yuan Chu were separated, she once said that she would create opportunities for them.
"Look, it's the new orc warrior Ku Ya!" Tan Ci whispered. Fortunately, he was using animal language, otherwise he might be noticed by the nearby orcs.
Wu Zhu stared closely at the young and strong new orc, and his intense gaze made him aware of it and he looked over with caution.
Wu Zhu and Tan Ci quickly leaned down and held their breath.
Kuya took a step forward and walked towards this side unhurriedly. The posture is relaxed, but the muscles all over the body are tense, as if he is ready to attack at any time.
Just twenty meters away from them, Ku Ya suddenly stopped and seemed to smell something, turning his head to look in a certain direction.
"Come on, someone, a mixed-blood female is running eastward!" A certain orc called from afar.
Ku Ya stepped forward and disappeared instantly.
Dozens of orcs heard the noise and chased towards the east.
Wu Zhu quickly realized that this was the opportunity originally created for them.
When the sound of people was far away, he immediately jumped out from the hiding place with Kuya, and successfully knocked out the guards outside the beast's nest with the help of the cover.
He took out the key from the guard and opened the beast's nest. Kuya rushed in first, found his children, quickly communicated with his companions, and then helped them put on gloves made of silkworm silk one by one to temporarily shield the skull flower. Imprinted pheromones.
The target of dozens of people was too big, so Wu Zhu asked two mixed-blood orcs to put on guard clothes and stand at the door of the beast's nest to hide their eyes from others, and then smuggled the mixed-blood orcs out one by one.
On the other side, Ku Ya chased out of the tribe following the scent of the mixed-race female. After chasing for about ten minutes, he finally saw the target fifty or sixty meters away.
It was a slender figure with strong movements and running like the wind, like a ghost in the dark.
A flash of interest flashed in Kuya's eyes, the first sentence he encountered when he encountered a mixed-race female running so fast.
He sped up and caught up.
However, when he accelerated, the other party also accelerated, and the distance between the two of them remained fifty or sixty meters and never shortened.
Five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes...
Kuya was surprised to find that the mixed-race female in front not only ran fast, but also had good physical strength.
He was able to persist for so long under his pursuit, which was more powerful than ordinary male orcs.
A hunting light appeared in Kuya's eyes, he put away his casual attitude, gathered strength under his feet, and flew out like a cannonball, shortening the distance between the two by dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
Yuan Chu, who was running in front, seemed to be aware of it. He turned around and saw his long hair flying, revealing a pair of clear and bright eyes, blooming like an epiphyllum, which amazed Kuya.
