The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.
Chapter 207 Extreme BH City
Chapter 207 Extreme BH City
Approaching with unfamiliar scents and soft limbs, Su Weihua thought she would be in constant torment and unlikely to fall asleep for the first half of the night.
But actually, enveloped in the faint fragrance, he fell asleep without realizing it.
He slept more soundly than usual this time, and it wasn't until it was time to change shifts that he groggily opened his eyes, nudged by Ling Chengen.
He was already slow to react, and he looked even more dazed when he first woke up.
Ling Chengen pulled his animal skin blanket back and pointed outside: "It's almost time for the change of shifts. Go out and wash your face."
Su Weihua suddenly sat up, turned her head and asked, "Aren't you asleep?"
"Of course I slept, I'm not made of iron." Ling Chengen yawned, lay back down in his warm bed, and said lazily, "I'm just used to waking up a few times during my sleep."
"When you go out, remember to lower the straw curtain at the door."
Ling Chengen waved his hand, turned his back to him, and his breathing quickly became long and even again.
Su Weihua straightened her slightly disheveled clothes and, before stepping out of the cave, couldn't help but look back again, feeling that something was amiss.
However, he didn't have time to think too much. Bai Qingyu walked in from outside, looking cool, and nodded at him. The meaning was clear: he couldn't stay here any longer and had to go out to keep watch at night.
Bai Qingyu did not go straight into the cave, but sat in front of the fire at the cave entrance, slowly drying off the moisture on her body and warming herself up before going to Ling Chengen's resting place.
Unlike the reserved Su Weihua, Bai Qingyu had already found her way to Ling Chengen's side and lay down without Ling Chengen even having to greet her. She naturally reached out and pulled the person lying on the straw mat into her arms, affectionately resting her chin on Ling Chengen's shoulder.
Ling Chengen was a little annoyed by him, mainly because she was sleeping soundly, and his actions had shattered the little bit of sleepiness she had managed to cultivate.
"Don't bother me, my head hurts." Ling Chengen closed his eyes, pushed his forehead with his hand, and felt a sense of relief after pushing his head away.
Looking at her sleepy appearance, Bai Qingyu said softly, "When you were trying to lull me to sleep, you used your superpower to ambush me. How come you have to rely on getting sleepy to fall asleep when it's your turn?"
Ling Chengen rolled over in his arms and said speechlessly, "If I use my superpowers to soothe myself, I'm afraid I won't wake up for another three to five days."
"Did Su Weihua just sleep with you?"
Ling Chengen didn't speak, but stared at him with his eyes open, as if he knew the answer already.
Bai Qingyu snorted: "You can't sleep because he's sleeping next to you?"
"I haven't gotten used to his scent yet."
Ling Chengen hadn't slept much. If it weren't to help Su Weihua fall asleep as soon as possible, she wouldn't have pretended to be asleep, much less used her mental power to soothe her silently.
As for the previous probing, it was simply to see how he would react.
Compared to the other carefree individuals in the family, Su Weihua took restraint and forbearance to the extreme, representing two completely different extremes.
Bai Qingyu gently stroked her arm and pondered, "Your temperature is a little high. Are you sick?"
Ling Chengen raised his hand and touched his forehead, but didn't feel anything. He said, "I don't think so. I cover myself up very tightly when I sleep at night."
Bai Qingyu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly sat up, lifted the animal skin blanket under her legs, moved the grass that was placed in the corner to the foot of the bed, and frowned as he examined the increasingly red and swollen wound on her calf.
The edges of the wound were slightly purple, which looked like insect venom hadn't been completely removed.
"Did Su Weihua treat your wounds?"
Ling Chengen nodded, puzzled, "His method was fine, and I applied the medicine as well."
"Did you take the antidote pills?" Bai Qingyu asked.
Ling Chengen shook his head and said, "I thought such a small wound from an insect bite wouldn't require an antidote."
Bai Qingyu sighed: "Others may not need the antidote, but you have to take it. Most of the orcs in the hunting team are male, and they have spent their lives crawling and rolling in the mud and forests since they were young. They have a certain resistance to many insects that are not very poisonous."
Ling Chengen took out a bottle of antidote and asked, "Is it too late to take it now?"
"Take one pill, and I'll go make you some fever-reducing medicine."
Ling Chengen stopped him: "Yuheng has prepared fever-reducing medicine, so there's no need to boil it."
"Save those pills for later. Every little bit used now is a little less. Among the supplies we gathered today, there are quite a few herbs that can be used to make an antidote for tick poisoning and a medicine to clear heat and reduce inflammation. You go to sleep first, and I'll wake you up when it's ready."
Bai Qingyu pressed her shoulders, pushed her back onto the bed, and pulled the animal skin blanket over her.
His fingertips touched the fluffy blanket, and a look of worry slowly crept onto his brow. But he quickly and subtly composed himself, reached out and covered her eyes. Only after confirming that she was lying down obediently did he turn and leave.
Just as Bai Qingyu placed the earthenware jar filled with herbs and water on the fire, Su Weihua returned with Wu Zhuo after patrolling outside.
Wu Zhuo squatted by the fire, pulled out the yam beans that had been roasting earlier, and asked in confusion, "Brother Yu, why aren't you sleeping? What are you cooking here?"
"Enen has a slight fever, let's make her some medicine."
Upon hearing this, Su Weihua stood up and asked, "Was it caused by the wound on her leg?"
Bai Qingyu nodded and sighed deeply: "Next, we need to head north. We've only just crossed the Luolu Mountains, and she's already starting to feel cold. Knowing her personality, she'll definitely be silently enduring the cold for a while... That won't do."
Su Weihua countered, "Then do you have a way to get her back?"
Bai Qingyu raised an eyebrow and met his gaze for a moment, then curled her lip and scoffed, "If I had a solution, would I be sitting here talking to you like this?"
Su Weihua wasn't in a hurry after being rebuked. She sat down next to Wu Zhuo, staring at the flickering firelight in the chilly autumn night, and pondered, "If I can't persuade her, then I can only try to warm her up."
Wu Zhu ate a few yam beans, his mouth smeared with black ash. He ate while laughing and didn't forget to chime in, "Didn't Sister En already find supplies to keep warm in the cold season? Like that rainbow fruit that can cause forest fires."
Bai Qingyu: "When we set off, the rainbow fruit had not yet been harvested, so how could we make use of it?"
"Moreover, in most of the forests of the Northern Wilderness, it is difficult to find nearly ripe Rainbow Fruit. Due to the problem of wildfires, many orcs who come into the mountains will cut down this plant as soon as they encounter it."
"But this stuff has never been completely eradicated, has it? Besides... if we don't have it in the mountains, we can look for it elsewhere. After all, the velvet tree is a unique plant in our Northern Wilderness. If we can't find it in the central region, there are vast wastelands in the north. Surely we can find it there?"
Wu Zhuo's words enlightened the two of them. Bai Qingyu gave the carefree Wu Zhuo a deep look, and a rare expression of approval appeared on her face: "I didn't expect you to be so clever sometimes."
"Isn't that obvious? If I weren't quick-witted, would Sister En have chosen me to be her number one underling?"
Wu Zhuo straightened his back and said with a hint of pride.
Bai Qingyu and Su Weihua turned their heads away in unison, feeling that this silly and foolish boy was simply unbearable to look at.
Ling Chengen's fever was just a minor problem; he fully recovered by the next morning, looking energetic and radiant.
In contrast, Bai Qingyu's eyes were slightly dark, giving him a hapless appearance as if his yang energy had been drained by a demon. Fortunately, he wouldn't have to keep watch for the next two nights, so he could finally get some rest.
……
Instead of lingering in the Luolu Mountains, the hunting party began heading north along the route they had planned from the beginning.
They need to reach the eastern half of the Northern Wilderness within half a month.
Ling Chengen and Bai Qingyu had traveled this route when they went to the Misty Swamp to hunt Xuanlin Snake Lizards.
This time, however, they would bypass the western edge of the Misty Swamp and reach the vast lands to the north of the Misty Swamp to explore the situation there and search for crops that were not found in the central region but had some value.
Before setting off, Ling Chengen and Shi Panxing inquired about the land north of the Misty Swamp, which was called the Far North.
Further north from the far north lies Suoyuan.
Although Suoyuan and Huiyuan sound similar, they are completely different.
Lock Abyss is a very strange trench.
Whether it's seawater, animals, or anything else, once it enters the Locked Abyss, it will be pulled down into the deep sea trench.
The only ones who can leave the trench are the inferior beasts.
Therefore, Suoyuan is also known as inferior land.
Ling Chengen had never met Suoyuan, but she did not yet have the naive idea of risking her life to find out.
She only wanted to go hunting in the far north.
The eastern coast of the far north connects to the North Sea.
Ling Xiao had once told her that the far north was actually very rich in resources, especially before the arrival of the cold season each year, when many fat animals from the sea would come ashore in groups.
The orc tribes in the far north primarily hunt sea creatures that come ashore for food, and then skin them to use as warm clothing.
There are very few orc tribes in the far north, but a great many sea monsters. Every year after the sea monster breeding season, the local orcs can find thousands of sea monster corpses that died fighting for mating rights in every place where the sea monsters have stayed.
There is another crucial point.
In the far north, there is a sea creature trading market, which the orcs on land call the Extreme BH City, and it is only open in September each year.
The sea creatures of the North Sea are actually the most benevolent towards the land-dwelling beastmen.
They would even actively trade with the orcs on land. Although there were time restrictions, the abundance of resources in the sea was enough to attract countless tribes with scarce resources.
Therefore, September is the liveliest time of year in the far north.
Ling Chengen was full of curiosity about this continent, so she was determined to join in the fun. She didn't care about getting a lot of supplies, but at least she wanted to let her friends who had never been far from home see the wonderful world outside.
Because they were traveling with a team, this journey was not as quick as the last one, which took only a few days. They spent more than half a month on the road and finally reached the border of the far north in late August.
Once they entered the far north, their pace slowed considerably.
On this unfamiliar, vast, and fertile land, they embarked on a hunting and gathering expedition to stock up on supplies.
Upon entering the far north, they encountered corn, soybeans, and sorghum.
Although these crops looked quite different from those she had seen before, after Xiao Huang's inspection, they were all of the same kind, just with a rather rugged and bold appearance.
The soybeans are called "bursting beans" by the local orcs because the pods, when mature, will suddenly burst open with the slightest external force, and the beans inside will fly out rapidly. Although they are not fatal when they hit you, they will still hurt.
Especially the young ones, they are taught from a young age not to go near Poppy Beans, because it is still dangerous if a Poppy Bean gets into their eyes or throat.
Exploding beans are a perennial vine that grows attached to sorghum trees.
The sorghum of the animal world is not the kind of annual plant with straw; it is a perennial tree with clusters of heavy, wine-red spikes hanging from the branches in the forest, like clusters of red flower spikes blooming in the cold autumn of the far north.
The most surprising thing was the corn. The corn in the Beast World was even more outrageous than the improved varieties in the previous life, with an unusually high yield. Ling Chengen thought that this thing should be comparable to the potatoes and sweet potatoes in the Beast World.
Once the entire team entered the far north, it was like they had stumbled into a melon patch. Wild boars, overjoyed, jumped around excitedly, and every day they were busy from the moment they opened their eyes, filling the space to the brim early on.
September hadn't even started yet, and she was already feeling a bit troubled.
There's not enough space.
In order to make the most of the space container she had salvaged from Bea, she repeatedly organized and tidied up the supplies inside, but in the end... she simply couldn't fit any more in.
Ling Chengen, wearing a coat made of animal hide, squatted in front of a tall plant that resembled a reed, lost in thought.
Bai Qingyu parted the four- or five-meter-tall velvet grass in front of him and finally found Ling Chengen, who was squatting there motionless like a potato, in an open space covered with a lot of golden velvet.
He looked at her head full of fuzz and said, both amused and annoyed, "We've been looking for you for ages. You should at least have said something when we called you."
Ling Chengen turned to look at him, his face full of melancholy, and said, "I want to cut all these down grains back as well."
"Cut, cut, cut. These fluff particles are easy to cut, but they're hard to pack."
Bai Qingyu frowned in thought, but Ling Chengen asked with concern, "But the space is full, what should we do? Can you make another space?"
Bai Qingyu reached out and plucked the fluffy particles stuck to her head, saying speechlessly, "Do you think I'm some kind of turtle in a wishing well? That I can just wish for whatever I want?"
Although he didn't quite understand what the metaphor meant, he remembered it after hearing Ling Chengen say it once, and inexplicably found the metaphor quite amusing.
Ling Chengen sighed softly, "I really want a space-type beast husband right now."
"Then go back and marry Shi Panxing."
Bai Qingyu suddenly spoke up, his tone inevitably carrying a hint of sarcasm.
Ling Chengen: "..."
Su Weihua had just followed the trail when she overheard the last two sentences of their conversation. She paused for a few seconds and asked, "He's a merman, and he and us land-dwelling beastmen... can't have offspring, right?"
Ling Chengen and Bai Qingyu turned their heads at the same time, their surprised gazes falling on him.
Su Weihua adjusted her hat, fanned away the fluff that flew towards her, and asked in confusion, "Why are you two looking at me like that?"
“Something’s not right with you,” Bai Qingyu said decisively.
