After sending Hou Xiaotiao away, Hu Lin couldn't help rubbing his hands, eager to try:
"Minmin, you guys take a good rest here first. Tell me if you need anything and I'll go notify them first. We can set off anytime when we're ready."
He had to pass the message on as soon as possible so as not to delay him and Minmin's return home.
Those who were willing to follow were the fox orcs and a few giant lizard orcs. Hu Lin planned to seek the opinions of other orcs. If there were any who were unwilling to go, he would not force them.
Leaving some supplies behind and going your separate ways is also a good option.
After all, this is the tribe where they were born and raised, and no one would be willing to abandon it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Hu Min naturally wanted to return to the tribe as soon as possible, so he nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"Chief, wait a moment." Before Hu Lin left, Hu Jiaojiao immediately stopped him.
"Jiaojiao, is there anything else?" Hu Lin turned around and looked at Hu Jiaojiao, with a smile on his face, without a trace of impatience.
Hu Jiaojiao glanced at the orcs of the Leihe tribe behind Hu Lin, and finally looked at Hu Lin, and said in a deep voice:
"Chief, if you have decided to join our tribe, wait until the winter is over before moving. There is no rush."
The orcs of the Leihe tribe are different from Xieman and his friends. Xieman and those beast slaves fled only because they had no choice, and they joined the tribe willingly.
The orcs of the Leihe tribe could have lived here peacefully. It was obviously unrealistic to ask them to leave their stable tribe in winter.
Furthermore, with so many orcs, supplies are also a big problem.
Hu Jiaojiao trusts Xie Man and his men because they are in the same boat and have been through life and death together, but she does not trust the orcs of the Leihe tribe.
The supplies in her space must not be given to orcs she did not trust, and she did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Ah?" Hu Lin was stunned and the smile froze on his face.
After a while, he spoke anxiously:
"Jiaojiao, don't worry about those orcs. I will convince them. If they are willing to follow me, they can follow me. If they are not willing, let them stay. It will not affect you."
Hu Lin was afraid that this was Hu Jiaojiao's excuse and that she would not want him anymore when she returned.
The wrinkled old face looked like a rotten apple, yellow and dry, and an expression of grievance was almost taking root on his face.
He and Minmin had been separated for so many years, and finally they met again. He would not miss anything.
Long Mo frowned slightly, and stood in front of Hu Jiaojiao with his shoulder tilted, stopping Hu Lin from reaching out to grab her hand excitedly.
"Chief, we don't have any extra supplies to give you."
He spoke in a low voice and explained the reason for Hu Jiaojiao.
However, there was an expression on his face that said "keep away from strangers", as if he was saying to Hu Lin: Just talk, don't touch me.
Hu Lin sensed the coldness emanating from Long Mo and knew that he was too excited.
He took a deep breath and began to explain:
"Of course I won't use your supplies. I will find a way to get them myself..."
Hu Jiaojiao knew that he had misunderstood, and chuckled:
"Chief, I asked you to leave after winter because there are enough supplies here for you to survive the winter."
"Supplies?" Hu Lin was stunned again, his mouth slightly open, a look of surprise.
Seeing Hu Lin's face full of doubts, Hu Jiaojiao continued:
"It's in the river next to your tribe."
Hearing this, Hu Lin looked strange, and explained with a wry smile: "Jiaojiao, you may not know that the fish in the river cannot be eaten."
"There are still fish that cannot be eaten?" Hu Qiang on the side curled his lips, "I think you don't want to eat it."
Fish have many bones in their bodies, so most orcs don’t like to eat them, but they can be used to satisfy hunger when supplies are scarce.
"What do you know!" Hu Lin glared at him. If they were not talking about serious matters, he would have started an argument with Hu Qiang.
"Do you know why our tribe is called the Leihe Tribe?"
"Isn't that the river called Lei River?" Hu Qiang answered casually.
Most tribes are named after races or nearby mountains and rivers. The tribe that Hu Lin belongs to is also a mixed group, so it must be the latter.
"Then do you know why it is called Thunder River?"
Hu Lin continued to ask, and this time Hu Qiang couldn't answer.
"How would I know why? It's not my name..." Hu Qiang snorted and answered lazily.
Hu Min and the other orcs all looked at Hu Lin with curiosity, their curiosity aroused.
"Why? Tell me quickly!" Hu Min pushed Hu Lin's arm and urged.
"The fish in the Lei River can release lightning-like attacks. You can't eat them. As soon as you enter the water, you will be attacked and your whole body will be numb. In serious cases, you may even die!" Hu Lin explained in a serious manner.
When they first came here, they were complacent, thinking they had found a river and would be able to live by it in the future, and that they would definitely have supplies. However, who knew that the fish in the river were completely inedible.
Not only that, even the water in the river can only be secretly fetched after the fish have hibernated at night.
Hu Min and the female behind him shuddered when they heard it, as if they had been electrocuted, and expressions of fear appeared on their faces.
"What kind of fish is so powerful?"
"It can also attack orcs. This is too weird..."
"Jiaojiao, you can't catch this fish, it's too dangerous." Hu Min hurriedly turned around and grabbed Hu Jiaojiao's hand, fearing that she would do something stupid.
Hu Qiang also nodded repeatedly, supplies are not as important as life.
Although Long Mo was confused, seeing that Hu Jiaojiao was calm and composed, he did not have any doubts in his heart and firmly chose to believe her.
"Dad, Mom, this fish is called electric eel. I know how to catch it, and..." Hu Jiaojiao paused, "It's delicious."
The existence of electric eels was discovered by Fourth Sister from the captured giant lizard orcs. Before she came, she and Long Mo went to the river to break the ice and see that the electric eels inside were almost overwhelming.
The electric eels in the animal world grow fat and big, and are very active even in winter, making them extremely delicious food.
tasty
The two looked at each other and couldn't help swallowing.
They have seen Jiaojiao’s cooking skills, and since Jiaojiao said it was delicious, it must taste good…
No one doubted Hu Jiaojiao's words.
Only Hu Lin and the orcs from the Leihe tribe looked shocked.
"Jiaojiao, can you eat that fish? You won't eat dead animals, right?"
Hu Lin asked about the thoughts of all the orcs in the Leihe tribe.
"Of course not. The electricity in the electric eel is limited. As long as we let it release all the electricity, there will be no problem catching it later." Hu Jiaojiao said confidently.
Even on Earth, electric eels are edible.
What's more, before she came, she went to the space to look through the Beast Atlas. As long as she mastered the method, catching electric eels was very easy.
"That's great!" Hu Lin's eyes sparkled and he was so excited that he spoke incoherently.
Having supplies can solve the problem of survival in winter.
"Chief, please try my method." Hu Jiaojiao told Hu Lin the method.
