Chapter 451 Change
In front of a stone table in a courtyard of the Snow Tiger Tribe, a small female with exquisite features, as bright as the moon, lay there listlessly.

"Tongzi, could you help me calculate something? How many days until the first heavy snowfall?"

What Wu Yue thought would be a simple task of making a down jacket turned out to be a huge blow.

It goes without saying that collecting down is difficult, but what Wu Yue didn't expect was that the most difficult thing was finding soft and thin animal hides.

"How was I supposed to know that the Snow Tiger tribe would be short of animal hides?"

Tongzi picked at his nose. The thin animal hides were much softer than the thick ones, but the problem was that they could only be hunted when the weather was hot.

In this kind of weather, wearing only a thin animal skin, it's safe to say that those wild beasts prioritize style over warmth.

"Let's wait for Yuan Lang and the others to come back. We're still short a dozen or so. If that doesn't work, we can use thicker animal hides to make up the number, and then redo them after we finish the mission."

Seeing his dog host looking like he was questioning his existence, Tongzi couldn't help but come up with a bad idea.

Wu Yue gave him a resentful look: "You can check the mission requirements yourself."

Knowing that thin animal hides were hard to find, she wanted to use thicker animal hides instead, but she was unusually warned by the system.

She refused to believe the dog system didn't know.
I glanced at you sideways, said nothing, and just silently watched you show off.

Embarrassed, Tongzi scratched his head. His tiny brain finally came up with something—it seemed there was such a request.

To prevent the world from being destroyed! Pshaw!
To prevent dog hosts from being lazy, the system specifically requires that the down jackets produced afterward cannot be made with inferior materials. Although the requirements for workmanship are not high, the requirements for raw materials are very strict.

Wu Yue looked up and let out a mournful howl: "It's like the heavens are against me! The mission reward is right in front of me, but I can't get it. It's so frustrating!"

"Excuse my bluntness, you dog host, instead of wasting your time whining here, you might as well take this opportunity to cultivate properly."

The blue chubby guy sat on the stone table with his two little paws crossed over his chest, his eyes full of disdain: "Tell me yourself, how long has it been since you broke through?"

rely on it!

Silently raising her middle finger, Wu Yue looked at the arrogant system with resentment: "Don't you know whether I'm trying or not?"

They sleep together every day, and aside from matters concerning the tribe, he spends all his nighttime sleeping time cultivating.

Ever since she made a promise with Yuan Lang to go out and find the totem pole that would allow the orc warriors to break through to the gold rank after winter, she had not slacked off for a single day.

Tongzi chuckled and put down his little paws, secretly touching his little nose: "Well, I was just saying, just saying."

In the polar forest, Yuan Lang is leading his tribe in a search for prey that fits their target.

"Captain, most of the wild animals have migrated now. What's left are some powerful beasts that can withstand the winter cold. Their fur certainly won't meet the requirements for making down jackets."

The orc who was speaking looked at a group of red-haired wildebeests ahead, his brows furrowing slightly.

The thick fur on these prey was clearly unusable.

Each orc warrior carried a large animal hide scroll on their back, their spoils from their journey.

Yuan Lang frowned as he looked at the migrating herd of wild beasts in the distance. The migrating herd was enormous, but the annual migration was the time when the wild beasts in the forest were most harmonious.

Not only do they avoid fighting each other except for normal hunting, but more importantly, whenever an orc warrior goes hunting, the surrounding wild beasts will attack him in droves.

Therefore, hunting migrating herds of animals is extremely dangerous.

Yuan Lang's dark eyebrows furrowed slightly, his thin lips parted slightly, and a resolute look appeared between his brows: "Chase after them, look for opportunities to hunt lone wild beasts, we must get these animal hides."

The surrounding orc warriors could only nod in agreement.

Although it's dangerous, you can always succeed if you're careful.

Yuan Lang was thinking about other things, and before leaving, the little female told him about the task of making down jackets.

He will do his best to help the little female complete the task that the gods of this world have given her.

"I will lure the wild beasts over later when I find an opportunity. You all hide and seize the chance to kill them."

Teng Qian frowned upon hearing this: "Captain, we can handle things like summoning beasts. How can we let you take such risks?"

Yuan Lang looked at him with his deep eyes: "It's safer for me to lure the beasts."

She then turned away from him, saying, "Be careful, don't expose yourself."

The herd migrated very quickly, and within half a day they had already left the territory of the Snow Tiger tribe.

"Captain, we're now in the Black Wolf Tribe's territory. Should we continue chasing them?"

Although relations between the four tribes have improved considerably since the last super tribe incident, it is still very dangerous to trespass into other tribes without permission.

Yuan Lang naturally understood, but as he watched the herd of beasts gradually enter the territory of the Black Wolf Tribe, his deep-set eyes narrowed slightly: "Chase after them, and negotiate with the orc warriors of the Black Wolf Tribe when you encounter them."

They were determined to get the animal hides.

Although he was prepared to encounter the Black Wolf tribe, Yuan Lang really didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Looking at the group of black wolf tribe orc warriors who were covered in dust and whose eyes were only visible and blinking, the snow tiger tribe orc warrior sniffed hard.

"Good heavens, if it weren't for the smell on you, I wouldn't have recognized you at all! Your tribe has changed a lot! Did you run out of food and start eating dirt?"

Teng Qian, that sly fellow, sidled up to the orc warrior from the Black Wolf tribe and even scraped a clod of mud off his face to rub it on.

The leading orc warrior from the Black Wolf tribe disdainfully pushed the guy aside, then frowned and looked at Yuan Lang: "Yuan Lang, how did you end up on our tribe's territory?"

He had not received any notification from the tribe, which shows that these people had trespassed into their territory without permission.

Yuan Lang first looked at the baskets on their backs, then raised his strong, thin arm and pointed to the migrating herd: "We need some light animal hides. The herd is following us and may be staying in your tribe's territory for a while."

"I'll visit your tribe after the hunt."

Going to the Black Wolf tribe was naturally to offer some food or items as an apology, since we had trespassed into their territory and, to make matters worse, run into them.

The orc warriors leading the Black Wolf tribe wiped the dirt off their faces: "It's nothing, you can go, but make sure one of our tribe's orc warriors accompanies you. I'll tell the chieftain and the shaman about this when I get back. Winter is just around the corner, so you don't need to make the trip."

Yuan Lang rarely showed a faint smile: "Then thank you very much."

After saying that, he looked at a lean orc warrior behind him: "Shuotu, take them to the edge of our tribe's territory where wild boars often appear. There's a patch of taro there that we haven't gathered."

As soon as Yuan Lang finished speaking, Shuo Tu nodded in agreement and stepped out of the group. On the other side, the dark-skinned orc warriors of the Black Wolf Tribe were overjoyed. This was practically a gift of food to them, and their eyes immediately burned with fervor as they looked at Yuan Lang.

Being stared at by a group of dark males with those eyes, even someone as mentally strong as Yuan Lang felt his hair stand on end. He simply nodded and then left Shuo Tu behind, leading his underlings to chase after the beast horde.

Watching the Snow Tiger tribe's orc warriors depart, the Black Wolf tribe's orcs couldn't help but exchange glances and chuckle.

Ever since the Black Wolf tribe brought back this new food called taro that the Snow Tiger tribe had discovered, they have been in an uproar. Especially after tasting the deliciousness of taro, the search for taro has been so intense that it has almost set the entire Black Wolf tribe ablaze.

In territories closer to the tribe, orc warriors would lead gathering teams out to collect resources, while in more distant territories, it was the orc warriors themselves who would be needed.

"Wait a moment, let's collect these taro and let the tribesmen take them back."

Shuo Tu nodded: "It's alright, the place the captain mentioned isn't very far from here."

The Snow Tiger Tribe hunting team finally found an opportunity to attack at dusk.

A small group of hairless animals broke away from the herd to forage for food. With winter approaching, fresh grass was scarce, and they seized every opportunity to eat.

“You all wait here, I’ll go lure this group of hairless beasts over.”

Everyone nodded in unison, watching their captain silently stealthily disappear into the front of the hairless beast squad.

The hairless beast leader was very vigilant. Several males took turns feeding, while the remaining few had their erect ears twitching constantly, always on alert.

Yuan Lang tensed up. The hairless beast wasn't very aggressive; the danger was the herd of beasts ahead, which contained many fierce and aggressive wild animals.

The Snow Tiger Tribe orc warriors, hiding behind the bushes, clenched their fists as they watched their captain stealthily moving forward. This feeling was even more thrilling than when they were in the deep forest.

As night fell, the migrating herds stopped, and low growls could be heard from time to time, indicating that some wild beasts were hunting and feeding.

The herd chose to rest in an open space, where the cool moonlight made the area very bright.

Meanwhile, the hairless beast squad was still cautiously feeding, having taken over this tender patch of grass.

"I'll make my move after the wild beasts have started hunting. Taking advantage of the chaos will increase my chances of success."

Yuan Lang, carrying a bow and arrow that was half his body length on his back, lay quietly on a boulder.

"Judging from the noise just now, the beast should be in front of the herd. As long as I'm careful later, I won't disturb them."

The roars and howls of the beasts in the distance grew more intense, and dust billowed across the moonlit open field, clearly indicating that a hunt was underway.

"We can't wait any longer. If I make my move after the hunt is over, it will be too abrupt."

Yuan Lang glanced around and saw that the hairless beast not far ahead had not yet discovered his presence.

With a swift movement, he stealthily moved behind the hairless beasts. The next moment, the power of the Beast God within his body was like a sharp sword, which he wielded to slash at the hairless beast squad in front of him.

The moment Yuan Lang appeared, the alert male hairless beast noticed his presence.

"Hooho-"

The hairless beast chieftain stared at the orcs who had suddenly appeared before him, letting out a series of loud roars. Then, its thick hooves stomped down, kicking up dust and sending grass flying backward.

Covered in a strong, fishy stench, it roared toward Yuan Lang like a meat bomb.

The scales on its head were like the hardest boulders, rushing towards him.

"call!"

As the hairless beast leader charged, Yuan Lang quickly dodged to the side and came to the leader's side.

The hairless beast chieftain, running, had no time to stop and crashed into a tree thicker than an orc's body.

"Crack!"

The fragile tree could not withstand the force of this brutal impact and collapsed after a painful groan.

Yuan Lang snorted and charged towards the hairless beasts behind him as he moved. The power of the Beast God was activated around him, and the invisible pressure made the hairless beast team panic instantly.

They immediately stomped their hooves and charged into the jungle opposite the orcs, their minds now filled with only one thought: escape.

Under the overwhelming pressure of the orcs, no matter how much their leader roared from behind, it was to no avail; they could only watch helplessly as their people charged into the darkness.

The hairless beast leader spewed out bursts of scorching white air from its mouth and nose, which were particularly clear in the slightly chilly night.

"Hoohoho!"

After raising its head and letting out a wild roar, it charged at Yuan Lang again, its scales on its forehead remaining completely undamaged after crashing into a large tree.

Savage and ferocious!
The instant Yuan Lang dodged, he immediately rushed towards the hairless beast.

A cold smile curved his lips, and his right hand's sharp claws reflected a chilling light in the moonlight.

He moved like lightning, his claws flashing with a cold light as he slashed directly at the neck of the hairless beast leader.

"Pfft!"

The warm sensation from his fingertips told Yuan Lang that he had succeeded.

"Roar!"

A mournful roar echoed across the open space. After a moment of silence, the beasts roared fiercely, and the ground began to tremble.

"Discovered!"

With a stomp of his feet on the hairless beast leader, he darted into the forest. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the hairless beast leader's mountain-like figure collapse with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.

"It's a pity we can't collect the hide of this hairless beast leader."

But when he thought of the small group of hairless beasts that had run into the forest earlier, the smile in his eyes deepened. As long as he could take down those hairless beasts, the mission would be complete.

The beasts charging from behind were drawn by the blood of the dead hairless beast leader. After giving a perfunctory roar at the figure that had already disappeared into the forest, they lowered their heads and began to devour the fresh flesh and blood.

By the time the ferocious beasts arrived, Yuan Lang was nowhere to be seen; only the stench of the hairless beast leader's flesh and blood filled the area.
