Groups of Gaga beasts swam across the middle of the river, and upon spotting the beastmen on the bank, they fluttered their wings in alarm and fled to the other side.

Jue and Xi searched carefully along the dense grass by the riverbank.

"Look!" Xi straightened up and excitedly shouted to Jue.

Jue peeked out and saw a series of pale blue eggs, oval in shape and about the size of a fist.

Xi couldn't hold it all in her hands, so she had to wrap her arms around it and carefully hug it to her chest.

The dens of the Gaga beasts are usually clustered together, so Jue continued searching in the surrounding grass.

Xi delivered the Gaga Beast's egg to Bai Ze and the others, then quickly ran back to find Jue.

Bai Ze picked up the Gaa Gaa Beast's egg and examined it closely, overjoyed. This huge duck egg was truly a rare sight.

Yan walked over: "Bai Ze, can this be used to make the egg pancake you mentioned the other day?"

Bai Ze smiled and replied, "Of course, I'll teach you how to do it when we get back."

Upon hearing this, Yan immediately picked up the animal hide and said solicitously, "I'll take it, you can rest!"

Xi and Jue were very lucky and discovered several nests of Gaga Beast eggs.

Eggs are fragile, so Bai Ze specially set aside a leather bag to store the bird eggs that Jue and Xi had taken from the tree, as well as the duck eggs that had just been discovered.

The sun moved to the southwest and gradually began to move northward.

The group then dug up some wild vegetables by the river.

Mo looked up at the sky: "It's time to go back."

The two cubs "treasure hunting" near Qingchao waved.

"Coming!" Xi ran over, waving something in her hand.

Bai Ze was bending down to tie the rope to the animal skin bag when he looked up and a slender snake suddenly appeared in his pupils. Its brown body was covered with scales, and it was arching its back, making a hissing sound.

"!"

Bai Ze was so frightened that he trembled, his face turned pale instantly, and he staggered backward.

The ground was covered with stones and weeds, and he looked like he was about to fall, but Mo, who was next to him, caught him in time.

"What's wrong?" Qing asked, puzzled.

"Snake..." Bai Ze's voice trembled slightly.

Seeing Bai Ze's expression, Yan asked in surprise, "Are you afraid of snakes?"

No wonder he was shocked. Snakes were also a food source for the tribe, especially in winter when prey was scarce. The beastmen would go out of their way to find hibernating snakes to fill their stomachs.

Bai Ze nodded, grabbed Mo's arm, and shrank behind him, not daring to even glance at Xi's hand.

Xi quickly threw the snake away and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Bai Ze, I didn't know you were afraid."

Jue spoke up: "Father, that kind of snake isn't poisonous."

"Hmm, it's nothing..." Bai Ze appeared to be alright on the surface, but he didn't dare to move his body, his eyes nervously staring at the nearby bushes.

Everything else is fine, but snakes, no matter what kind or whether they are poisonous or not, Bai Ze has been terrified of them since he was a child. Just thinking about it gives him goosebumps.

Mo patted Bai Ze's hand, which was tightly gripping his, and instantly transformed into his beast form.

He brushed Bai Ze with his tail and lowered his body.

Without needing anyone to remind him, Bai Ze quickly climbed onto the black panther's back, and the moment his feet left the ground, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

He took the animal skin bag that Qing handed him, placed it on Mo's back, and gripped it tightly with his hands.

There were many things, and Mo and Yan were also busy, each carrying a large animal skin bag.

When the fangs aren't showing, the face looks much kinder.

Their return speed had clearly increased considerably; the two black panthers raced through layers of dense forest, heading straight towards the tribe.

The last rays of the setting sun filtered through the leaves, dappling the ground covered with grass stems, and the temperature slowly dropped.

The place they went to was far away, but fortunately, they returned to the tribe before nightfall.

Looking into the distance, a bonfire was burning in the center of the tribe, and the bright yellow flames were particularly dazzling in the gray sky.

The beastmen gathered around a fire, some competing with each other, while others transformed into their animal forms and lazily lay on rocks or logs.

The children ran and chased each other, their laughter echoing throughout.

Yan and Mo walked side by side from the edge towards the cave.

Bai Ze: "It's so lively!"

The green figure on his back tilted his head, smiled, and said, "Everyone really enjoys gathering here."

Looking at those unfamiliar faces, Bai Ze suddenly felt a pang of emotion, wondering what the world's civilization would be like thousands of years from now.

"Qing, Bai Ze!"

A voice rang out from among the sub-orcs sitting not far away, and Xing walked over quickly and happily: "You've gone out?"

Qing: "Since Mo and Yan are here, we'll go collect them."

Xing blinked: "How was it? Did you gain a lot?"

"It's alright." Bai Ze patted the animal skin bag and replied with a smile, "By the way, Xing, come to my place sometime, I'll treat you to something good."

"Okay, okay!"

Xi licked her lips: "Bai Ze's food is delicious!"

"Really? Then I have to try it!" Just like Xi, Xing couldn't resist the sight of delicious food.

Last time, Bai Ze taught the orcs in the tribe to make tools for picking fruit, which helped him redeem himself quite a bit.

Several orcs also greeted them.

By the time they reached the cave, Bai Ze was starving. He hadn't eaten much in the morning and had only nibbled on some fruit at noon, so he couldn't take it anymore.

He rubbed his stomach and insisted on taking the contents out of the animal skin bag first, especially the bird eggs and duck eggs, which needed to be properly stored.

Mushrooms should not be compressed; after shaking them open, place them on the ground. Hawthorns and red dates can be poured out directly.

There was a large pile of wild onions. Bai Ze wanted to dig a hole and bury them, but he couldn't find a suitable tool. His gaze swept around and finally landed on Jue, who was starting a fire.

He walked over with a smile: "Jue, can you do me a favor?"

Jue nodded and stood up.

"Can you transform into beast form and use your claws to dig a hole in the ground next to the cave entrance?"

Bai Ze explained, "We dug up a lot of wild onions today, which can be stored for a long time if buried in the soil."

Bai Ze was too lazy to lie or make up explanations for what he knew, since it was full of loopholes and would definitely be exposed over time.

Moreover, too much talk leads to mistakes. There's no need to lie to the foolish, and the clever ones won't believe you even if you lie to them. In short, push everything onto the accident where they fell into the water.

Jue asked, "How big do you want it?"

Bai Ze picked up a stick and drew a circle on the ground.

Jue immediately extended the sharp blade hidden in its claws and began digging rapidly.

Bai Ze was extremely pleased. The little black leopard's round head bobbed up and down, and it was working very hard.

"That's enough." Bai Ze patted Jue's head, then couldn't help but rub his little face before burying the wild onion in the pit.

Jue's ears twitched, and she watched the whole thing intently from the side, even using her paws to help bury the soil.

Mo walked over carrying the cleaned-up Gaga Beast.

"Could you help me mix some mud with water?" Bai Ze asked after taking the mud.

Mo didn't understand why mud was needed for cooking, but he did it anyway.

Bai Ze brushed a layer of oil onto the surface of the Gaga Beast, then evenly coated it with salt inside and out, and stuffed wild onions and ginger slices into its belly.

There were large leaves that had just been picked today on the cutting board, emitting a faint fragrance. Mo and the others usually used them to hold food.

Bai Ze used these leaves instead of lotus leaves to wrap the prepared Gaga beast, and then carefully coated the outside of the leaves with a thick layer of mud mixed with ink before throwing it directly into the fire to roast.
