Chapter 106: The Wandering Orcs

o she had to let the Empress know and get her seal of approval, otherwise, she couldn't access the funds."Your Majesty, this matter was initiated by the people of Panlong Nation. They privately contac...Ripple and the lone bear stayed in Bear Clan territory for a month, enduring the hottest time of the dry season. Besides teaching the bears how to eat new corn cobs, Ripple discovered a seasoning fruit in Bear Clan's forest.

This fruit has a brown-red shell, the same color as a fierce beast's body. Only the size of a baby's fist, its skin is thick. After crushing the shell, there's only a space the size of a quail egg inside, filled with crimson juice and a black seed.

This fruit, when crushed, released a sour scent. Ripples tasted it by smearing a bit on her finger and found that it could be used as seasoning vinegar. Tai also told Ripples that this fruit would become another kind of flavor during the harvest season.

Li's suspicions arose after the hot season, she imagined this sour fruit would ferment into a different flavor, unfortunately, she couldn't taste it now. So she gestured for Duo to pick quite a few, preparing them to be added to cold dishes on their way back. Compared to male beastmen, she preferred various leafy greens and fruits.

On the day she returned to the tribe, she made a cold salad of broadleaf greens. She blanched the greens in hot water, added a pinch of salt, and then crushed a seasoning fruit into them. After sprinkling on the juice from the seasoning fruit, it tasted crisp and refreshing, receiving unanimous praise from the females. Chang's partner particularly loved it.

Only when ripples found out that females, after becoming pregnant, would specifically look for this kind of fruit to ease morning sickness, did they realize this nausea-relieving fruit could also be eaten.

Finally, under the strong insistence of ripples, the vomit fruit was named the seasoning fruit.

In the last month of summer, ripples was preparing to leave. She had solved a problem of a traitor within the Bear Clan and had also developed new methods for their food preparation. The fruit with special seasonings had also found new uses.

Most importantly, because Wu saved Mang, he also learned how to suture wounds and treat injuries. At least now, he won't completely lose his hunting ability if the orcs break their arms or legs. The most convincing proof is Mang's recovery. Although he can't participate in hunting for now, it doesn't affect his daily walking.

When the ripples and Doku were preparing to leave, Meng also packed his few belongings and prepared to follow Ripples. His original intention was to repay the life-saving grace.

Chief: "Ripple, you are the messenger of the Beast God, how can you only have one follower! For your safety, the Bear Clan will also arrange beastmen to protect you."

"The shaman: 'Meng is alone now, no mate, no young ones. Although he's healed, he's lost his purpose. It would be good for him to follow you. He can protect you while also finding meaning in survival. I can't guarantee anything else, but Meng is the fiercest beastman of the bear clan.'"

Meng: "Alone, it can only carry things. In battle, it's worse than me!"

He was completely humiliated, but he couldn't argue back. After all, he just took down the leader of the alligator gang with his bare hands. He had to admit that his fighting skills were inferior to theirs.

That way, when leaving the bear clan's territory, Ripples had another follower - Meng. This time their goal was the tiger clan's territory, she wanted to meet the one who took Yan Jia away from the lion clan's territory.

Lion pride's territory

Yan Jia and Sang's relationship has entered a stable period. Sang voluntarily became Yan Jia's follower, and the only follower, while Yan Jia, because of Sang, rejected other followers. She feels that this is the purpose of her crossing here, harvesting a loyal dog.

The two people practically saw each other every day, and Sang would also occasionally pick some fruits and pretty flowers that females liked and deliver them to Yan Jia's residence.

And Yan Jia would also make excuses that she was weak, asking Sang to fetch water for her, grind the stone pot, or when she had headaches or fevers, she would ask Sang to keep her company. Anyway, she always found reasons to get Sang to come to her place. Their interactions were almost no longer hidden from the other members of the tribe.

Being busy with her romance, Yan Jia naturally wouldn't think about finding new food or improving the tribal living environment, so the lion tribe was still the same old way.

Here, ripples left the bear tribe not long after and encountered a group of rogue beastmen blocking her path. These beastmen seemed to know her.

"Hey! You, kid, you're doing alright! Where did you snag that female Can you let us guys have a taste"

A scarred orc grinned, leering at Ripple with impunity.

The ripples at this time were very refreshing because the summer weather was unbearably hot. She made herself a sleeveless sling dress out of hemp, with shorts on the bottom and shoes made from leftover hemp fabric. The soles were woven from a soft kind of reed, making them very comfortable to wear.

The original body was already very handsome, with a tall and well-proportioned figure. Coupled with the aura of the tasker, Ripples Ancestor, he was even more eye-catching. After Scarface Orc finished speaking, the remaining five orcs joined in, already seeing Ripples as their target.

Mengleng coldly stared at the six orcs across from him, his eyes full of disdain. He just waited for Lianyi to nod, and he would transform and rush over to kill them.

The ripples scanned the six male orcs across from him, then glanced at Duo. The latter was winking at someone on the other side.

"Hey, did your eyes spasm"

"No!"

When did you meet these friends

Ripples asked slowly.

"After I was expelled from the Black Snake Clan, I spent some time with them."

What did you all do together

Ripple touched the colorful crystal beads on her wrist, strung together into a bracelet. It was a parting gift from the Bear Tribe shaman, also a thank you for teaching him suturing.

He didn't do anything.

"Haven't you done anything You could at least say something!"

Ripple was a little unhappy, and kept looking around nervously, clearly hiding something she shouldn't have done.

They would sneak into other beast tribes' territory and steal their hunting spoils. They even harassed the females, trying to force them to bear cubs for them.

"Hey! Solo! What are you talking about You were involved in all of this, now you're professing loyalty before your female Don't try to smear us either!"

"Yes! Yes!"

It seems you're quite pleased with the female you've taken back. We better taste what she's like!

The orcs across from them had begun to slowly approach, gradually encircling the three of them.

Lily smiled, then touched her beast mark, channeling its power. It instantly split into six strands, charging towards the six male orcs surrounding her. Her target was these orcs' beast marks.

By the time six people realized something was wrong, their Beast Marks had already been sealed by ripples. They were now unable to transform into beast forms. Just as they were puzzled, Ripples spoke to Duo and Meng:

"Beat them, just don't kill them, leave them breathing."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Meng had already activated his beast mark, transforming into a massive three-meter-tall reddish-brown bear. He patted his chest and charged forward, his bear paws swinging like bows, sending the scar-faced beastman who had led the attack and his companion flying backwards.

The 獨 transformed into a giant black snake. Its tail swept through the air, sending two people flying. It then coiled around one beastman while the other was frantically struggling as its neck was being tightly gripped.o I used the wind attribute technique to greet Ah Xiang and issued an invitation to make a pact with it.A-Xiang also found me, and after accepting my invitation, he landed on my arm and placed a mark...
