The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 209 Dragon Blood Ganoderma
As the group chatted, a dark shadow suddenly swept across their heads.

Ling Chengen waved his hand towards the air, using his supernatural ability to connect with Bai Qingyu and tell him the exact location.

Soon, the blue crane fell from the sky.

Bai Qingyu crunched underfoot through the thick leaves, glanced at the herd of mammoths drinking water across the river, and said in a low voice, "I've found a suitable place to camp."

“Is it far from here?”

Yuan Ran hung from a tree branch with one arm, her round eyes gleaming with curiosity.

Bai Qingyu said, "It's at the foot of the Asta Mountains, not far from here. Heading southeast, it will take about half a beast's time to get there, and even less if you run."

“That’s the upper reaches of this river.” Su Weihua patted Ling Chengen on the shoulder, bringing her back to her senses as she was almost mesmerized by the mammoths. “Don’t mess with those mammoth herds. With our current strength, angering them is basically a death sentence.”

Ling Chengen looked away, shrugged, and said, "I didn't mean to take them, I was just looking."

These creatures, which only existed in museums, textbooks, and various magical movies in my previous life, are now available to me in person. Naturally, I want to take a good look at them, which makes the trip worthwhile.

Although Bai Qingyu did not participate in the previous topic, he had some idea of ​​Su Weihua's intention in saying that. He was not used to stopping Ling Chengen's strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge, but rather guiding him.

As Su Weihua said, mammoths were definitely not something that could be hunted.

Especially near the orc tribes in the far north, the local orcs regard mammoths and woolly mammoths as sacred beasts, and most of the orc races here are hairy, long-nosed orcs.

If the local orcs encounter an elephant hunter, they will definitely be driven out of the far north by the local tribes, and will be regarded as an enemy by the local orcs for life.

Bai Qingyu, who was in charge of pointing out the direction, said to Ling Chengen, "If you want to hunt such a giant beast, you can consider the tapir."

What is a tapir?

Bai Qingyu explained, "The tapir is a large animal that has appeared in the last hundred years. It should be a hybrid of the giant elephant and the northern tapir."

"The tapir is slightly smaller than the mammoth, woolly mammoth, and saber-toothed elephant. Because it is a hybrid, its numbers are not large. In addition, there is a rule that only one male tapir is kept in a herd. Therefore, many male tapirs who cannot find a mate during the breeding season become particularly irritable. They will not only attack all living things around them, but will even specifically attack orc tribes, causing countless casualties every year."

Therefore, hunting tapirs and elephants is not prohibited in the far north.

"The tapir is one of the main sources of meat for the orcs in the far north."

"It is said that the meat of the tapir is very delicious. If we can't find a tapir, we can exchange some for supplies at the market and bring them back."

Ling Chengen: "We'll see when the time comes. It's getting windy now, and the weather forecast looks like it's going to rain tonight."

"After this rain, the temperature in the far north will drop sharply."

Xuan Yan glanced at the sky with concern, his heart heavy.

Dia walked behind him, puzzled, and asked, "Aren't you rattlestalkers always based in the Lolu Mountains? And you've even been to the North?"

Lin Ying, wrapped in her clothes, said quietly, "The way you're saying that makes it sound like we wandering orcs don't need to stockpile food for the cold season."

"Although the Lolu Mountains are rich in resources, we are just an ordinary small group. We dare not hunt giant beasts for fear that we will either die or be injured. We can't catch medium and small prey either. Throughout the year, the rate at which wild animals in the mountains reproduce can't keep up with the amount we consume."

"Therefore, going out hunting is also a necessity."

It's just that their hunting parties weren't as large and impressive as those of the orc tribes.

"Speed ​​up, there are other hunting teams nearby."

Ling Chengen stopped and shouted loudly to those behind him.

Before darkness fell, the entire team finally arrived at the encampment that Bai Qingyu had found.

The weather in the north is unpredictable. Sometimes the rain clouds look far away, but they are quickly swept up by the wind and brought overhead, with large raindrops falling from the low-hanging, angry clouds in the blink of an eye.

Ling Chengen stood in front of the cave and reached out to catch the stream of water flowing down the rocks at the cave entrance.

Beyond the mountains lay a vast wilderness, above which thunderclouds surged.

The clouds didn't take long to gather momentum; soon, a terrifying electric python emerged from beneath them.

Even though she was far away from where the mammoths gathered, she could still hear their panicked and defiant roars.

The wild beasts in Mount Asta were startled by the sudden thunderstorm, and she could sense their unease wherever her mental power reached.

The dangers of lightning are self-evident.

But many of the orcs in the group had rarely seen such terrifying weather, and they crowded at the cave entrance, craning their necks to look outside.

"My goodness, the weather suddenly turned like this. If we hadn't found a cave to stay in, we would probably be running away from lightning right now."

Wu Zhuo perched atop Diya's head, his eyes, which should have been wise and alert, now appearing almost foolishly clear...

Dia was about to lose her temper and gritted her teeth, saying, "Get down here right now!"

Wu Zhuo, with his thick skin, grinned and said, "You're tall, let me squat on your head, there's no room for me to stand down below."

Diya: "..." Today is another day I want to get rid of my bad friend.

However, Dia was still very good-tempered. Although she made a couple of threats, she didn't actually lift the person off her head.

It rained for two days.

Having already checked the system's built-in weather forecast, Ling Chengen didn't let anyone slip by during this time, and began the Stone Forest Squad's grand daily routine of hand-twisting hemp thread.

Ling Chengen brought out the spinning wheel and the loom one after the other. Many people were really bored and not interested in twisting hemp thread, so they began to scramble to try out these two things they had never seen before.

Wu Zhuo first tried twisting hemp thread and became withdrawn. He thought that the spinning wheel and loom would be good toys that could save him from his predicament.

As it turns out, he just doesn't have that kind of brain.

He wove a messy piece of cloth, no bigger than the palm of his hand, and was eventually kicked out of the team by Ling Chengen, who told him to go cook and not mess up the hemp yarn that everyone had worked so hard to imitate.

A spinning wheel and a loom are still quite inefficient; they can't make many sacks in a day.

So, Bai Qingyu and Su Weihua each led a few people to cut down a few trees when the rain subsided.

They started working directly inside the cave, copying the tools from the previous work according to the blueprints.

After the rain ended, Ling Chengen did not allow the team to continue hunting.

They no longer lacked prey, and the tribe had its own hunting team. In addition, with the large amount of tree wheat harvested earlier, no one in the tribe would face hunger and cold this year. Therefore, she was more interested in collecting supplies that could improve the tribe's quality of life.

There are also... relatively rare and precious medicinal materials.

She could tell from Shi Panxing's attempt to seek medical treatment.

In the beast world, the lack of medical care and medicine can truly be deadly.

Shi Panxing's injury was so severe that it dragged on for a whole month. Even the medicinal herbs they managed to gather weren't enough, so they had to travel thousands of miles away to collect them.

If the chief healer is not Yuheng, there is no need to search for these medicinal herbs at all. It would be more practical to choose a well-auspicious pit in advance.

On the morning of the third day, the weather in the far north cleared up.

However, the temperature is still quite low in the early morning and evening.

Nighttime temperatures, in particular, are close to zero degrees Celsius. However, midday temperatures can generally reach the teens (Celsius).

After tidying up his clothes, Ling Chengen put on a pair of handmade ankle boots and led ten people to go into the mountains to take a look.

Bai Qingyu planned to take Wu Zhuo and Bao Bao out for a stroll, and while he was at it, to survey the terrain of the far north, to refine the map in his mind as much as possible, and to find out about the various hunting teams currently gathered in the far north.

It would be even better if we could run into Ling Xiao's team.

His team of soldiers were not only battle-hardened, but also adept at handling all kinds of emergencies.

Perhaps those people can provide the answers to some of the questions that have puzzled them for a long time.

"What about you? Are you going out?"

Ling Chengen put on his hat and stepped out of the cave, only to have his face stiffen from the cold wind blowing in his face.

Su Weihua nodded and said, "I'm going out. I heard there's a Thousand Lakes District nearby, and I'd like to go there and take a look."

He had never been to the far north before, and most of what he had heard about it came from the elders of the Snow Wolf tribe.

Some things are one thing to hear about, but quite another to see them with your own eyes.

"Then remember to bring someone with you and be careful."

After giving a brief explanation, Ling Chengen pressed down on his hat, which was about to be blown off by the wind, and led his team into the Asta Mountains with great pride and high spirits.

The Asta Mountains are quite different from the Lolu Mountains. The far north is equivalent to the Arctic Circle and the northernmost part of the North Temperate Zone in the previous life, and has a typical cold temperate climate and a north frigid climate.

Having been in the Beast World for almost half a year, Ling Chengen's only feeling about this land is that it is extremely hot and cold.

When it's hot, it feels like being sent to Africa to work illegally.

When it's cold, it's common for people to freeze to death.

If she hadn't possessed a relatively sturdy and powerful orc body, she probably wouldn't have been able to survive a single season here.

Ling Chengen held a stick in one hand and a bone blade in the other.

Once we climbed to an altitude of about 600 meters or higher, there were actually many more smaller plant species in the forest.

Yuan Ran climbed up a tree in front of him and suddenly cried out in surprise: "Young clan leader, there are mushrooms here."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengen walked over and looked up at the spot he was pointing to. The snow-white thorns wrapped around the fungal flesh inside like a dancing skirt.

"This is a monkey head mushroom, right? We saw it on the road a while ago."

Yuan Ran waited for Ling Chengen's confirmation, then reached out and took the bamboo basket that Zhi Lu threw up. She nimbly hung the basket on her back, swung around on the tree branch, and used the momentum to jump to the vicinity of where the monkey head mushrooms were growing.

Ling Chengen nodded: "It's a monkey head mushroom. Pick the big ones off, don't touch the small ones."

Hericium erinaceus is a relatively rare fungus and one of the eight delicacies of the mountains. We left the smaller ones as spawn to continue growing, and maybe we can still find them here next year.

The group found a lot of mushrooms in the mountains. Over the past half month, the orcs in the group have gradually learned to distinguish more than ten kinds of edible mushrooms. As for those they don't recognize... Ling Chengen has repeatedly emphasized that they should not pick or taste them, or risk their lives.

Even if you think they look alike, if you have any doubts, don't go for it.

Even though they ate poisonous mushrooms, seeing the little man and Grandma Meng was still lucky.

If you happen to eat something like the white death cap or the large green glomerate, you can just lie on a flat board, sleep in a pit, and enjoy the whole experience.

At first, some people in the team didn't believe in the superstition, so they secretly risked their lives.

After dinner that evening, this person started flirting with their teammates, even pulling them around in circles—it was practically a tail-wagging courtship dance...

This stubborn person, who is used as a negative example, is Wu Zhuo.

Because Wu Zhuo died on the spot, his teammates repeatedly imitated him after he woke up, which made him withdrawn for a long time and he didn't dare to cause any more trouble for many days.

However, he was still not convinced of those strange mushrooms.

But this time, instead of eating it myself, I tried every means to get my friends to try the mushroom that supposedly brings bad luck to people.

The team members were busy picking mushrooms and climbing trees to collect nuts in the mountains.

Ling Chengen would occasionally spread his spiritual power to explore the surrounding area, and if he found any rare and delicious mushrooms, he would have them picked.

Her own basket was the first to fill up. Just as she was wondering whether to go down the mountain or continue walking and exploring, her gaze suddenly swept over a cluster of mushrooms with thick, plump caps.

The blood-red mushroom caught her eye. She quickly unloaded her basket, knelt on one knee, and carefully examined the mushroom in front of her. She said to Xiao Huangtong, "Is this a blood lingzhi?"

This was the first time she had ever seen Ganoderma lucidum; it was something she felt she would never see in everyday life.

Xiao Huangtong: "This is a Dragon Blood Lingzhi."

"This blood-red Ganoderma is different from the Ganoderma in your original world. This one is more potent in medicine. It was irrigated with beast blood during its growth, which is why it grows like this."

"Blood Ganoderma lucidum is not very common in the Beast World, but its value is incomparable to that of White Bone Immortal Ganoderma lucidum."

Ling Chengen asked in confusion, "Dragon blood? Where in this world are there still dragons?"

Xiao Huangtong said confidently, "The Little Winged Dragon is a dragon, isn't it? The Water Dragon Beast... is also considered a dragon."

"This Dragon Blood Ganoderma is probably stained with the blood of a small winged dragon."

After a few seconds of silence, Ling Chengen changed the subject: "How should this Blood Spirit Mushroom be processed after it is harvested to preserve its maximum medicinal efficacy?"

Xiao Huangtong shamelessly said, "Give me 5 energy points and I'll send you the complete cooking video."

Ling Chengen raised an eyebrow and said, "You've got guts now, huh?!"

"Now you've all learned to take advantage of people's misfortunes! Aren't you afraid I'll report you?"

"You're almost on the blacklist in the main system."

"You even reported me?! The main system would love to blacklist you."

If it weren't so difficult to untie, it would have run away with the bucket long ago.

Having such a host, it really wants to go back to the factory to reset and pick an auspicious day to start working again.

"Then just tell me if you V'd or not?"

Little Yellow has learned its lesson and will no longer easily submit to the tyranny of the Great Demon King.

At worst, they'll just be locked in a dark room; they're very familiar with that process!
Anyway, it was released again in a few days. Since this beast world has nothing, if the host wants to live a prosperous life, he will definitely need to ask it for information or help...

Ling Chengen: "...Go ahead and deduct the money. If the materials needed to make this aren't available right now, I'll lock you in a dark room for three months."

Xiao Huangtong: "When I do business, I always offer fair prices and never cheat anyone, young or old."

"I've sent you the video. Remember to check it and give it a five-star review."

Ling Chengen: "..." Not a single positive review.

This artificial intelligence is about to reach for the sky!
