After clearing a space, the beastmen gathered firewood from the surrounding area, piled it up, and lit it to keep warm.

The night wind was chilly, and Bai Ze, who couldn't stand the cold, sat closest to the wall.

Jue and Xi, who had been listless, perked up again after a short rest and curiously peeked out.

Xi wanted to touch and bite everything, but Jue stopped her several times.

The beastmen skewered the meat with branches and propped it up on the fire. They then took out a package from their pockets, which was made of cowhide on the outside and leaves on the inside. After opening the layers, they found a pile of mixed powder.

Before setting off, Bai Ze specially led the people of the tribe to dry the dried chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and some other spices over a fire, then grind them into powder with stones and mix them together, which became the soulmate for roasting meat, stir-frying vegetables and making soup.

The beastmen treasured it like a precious gem, and even sewed a special pouch into their clothes to hold the delicious powder.

Afraid of using it too quickly, they sprinkle it very carefully each time, some even only using their thumb and forefinger to pinch a small amount.

Yan called the two cubs back, stuffed a skewer of roasted meat into each of their hands, and then focused on preparing his delicious dinner.

A mushroom and a piece of meat are skewered together and then brushed with a layer of "honey sauce." This is a recipe that Qing specially learned from Bai Ze and stayed up all night to make for Yan the night before they set off.

Yan was so moved that he immediately threw Xi into the next cave and spent the whole night with his partner.

The next morning, Qing almost couldn't get out of bed. Her legs were trembling when she got out, but she insisted on taking Yan to the outside of the tribe.

Xi smelled the aroma and came closer, but Yan pinched her lips and said, "Go eat your own."

"I want that sauce too!" Xi said, slapping away her father's hand in dissatisfaction.

Yan replied matter-of-factly, "That was made for me by your adoptive father."

"Your father didn't say that; you're lying."

Yan: "If you don't believe me, ask your adoptive father yourself when you get back."

He wasn't lying about that, although his method wasn't exactly honorable—Qing didn't say anything, and Yan just stayed still.

Xi stomped her foot angrily, then saw Bai Ze waving at her. After snorting, she hurriedly ran over.

Jue was sitting to Bai Ze's right at this moment, while Xi sat down next to Bai Ze's left.

Bai Ze took out two pieces of chestnut cake from his bag.

"!" Xi was instantly delighted, muttering as she ate, "Can I have two adoptive fathers and get rid of my beast father?"

When Li and the others heard this, they laughed heartily and said to Yan, "Your child doesn't want you anymore."

In the first round of Mo Shou's game, Bai Ze brought him food and even gave him extra treats, including dried meat and roasted mushrooms.

It was far from the fire and dimly lit. Mo took the food and moved aside, asking, "Are you full?"

"Hmm." Bai Ze had nothing else to do, so he sat with him for a while.

Then, Mo quietly revealed his ears and tail.

"Mo, your ears..." Bai Ze asked in surprise, turning his head to look behind him. "Your tail..."

"Sometimes they just pop up on their own," Mo said casually, glancing at the scene.

That's a bit of a lie.

Adult beastmen may involuntarily protrude their ears and tails under certain special circumstances, such as courtship, affection, or excitement.

But a powerful orc can restrain it.

Bai Ze looked at the tail swaying back and forth beside him and swallowed hard.

The next second, the tip of the tail was delivered into his palm.

Mo asked seriously, "Don't you really like touching?"

My palms are itchy.

Bai Ze nodded, flattered: "Will it affect your meal?"

"Won't."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze immediately began to play with the fur in his hands, rubbing, pinching, and kneading it, then stroking it along the direction of the fur.

As Bai Ze's hand approached the base of his tail, Mo's body suddenly stiffened, and he almost bit his own tongue.

"What's wrong?"

"No," Mo said, then added, "You can touch the ears too."

Bai Ze: "Will you feel comfortable?"

"It feels very comfortable."

Having received this answer, Bai Ze no longer had any reservations and directly reached out his claws towards those two furry ears.

Because it was Mo's first shift, he perfectly timed his shift to coincide with Bai Ze's sleeping time.

It then transformed into its beast form, lay down on its side, and offered its warmest and softest belly to Bai Ze.

As soon as Bai Ze lay down, two black dumplings came up to him.

Mo looked up and kicked him with his hind leg.

Jue glanced at him and snuggled deeper into Bai Ze's arms.

Bai Ze felt extremely comfortable, with Mo Nuan's warm belly beneath him and Jue and Xi's warm bodies beside him.

He closed his eyes shortly afterward.

Mo was helpless.

Yan passed by, grinning from ear to ear, and said in a particularly irritating way, "What a touching scene, like a female leopard nursing its young."

Mo: "Get out!"

In the Beast God Continent, animals and beastmen are two completely different species.

It's just like humans and monkeys.

Orcs in their beast form are generally much larger than ordinary animals of the same beast form, so it is rare for them to be hunted as animals in their beast form. Of course, there are exceptions, such as intentional hunting.

However, when subhumans transform into their beast form during special periods, they should be extra careful and it is best not to go out or to be accompanied by family members, because their beast form is not much different from that of other beast-like animals.

Therefore, orcs generally do not hunt animals that resemble beasts.

As dawn broke, the group hurriedly ate their meal and set off on their journey.

The round trip to exchange salt takes half a month.

Jue and Xi were still children. In their beast form, their legs were shorter than the other black panthers, so they couldn't run as fast.

So I'm often full of energy in the morning, but by the afternoon I'm panting and sticking out my tongue while rushing around.

Bai Ze was heartbroken.

However, Mo and Yan only allowed Jue and Xi to carry them for a short while when they could no longer hold on.

This is the training that every orc cub must undergo.

On the fourth day, the main force passed through an extremely tall and dense forest, where the trees were often tens of meters tall and their branches and leaves blocked out the sun.

Bai Ze looked up and saw many houses perched on the branches near the thick tree trunk. The houses had triangular roofs and looked like they were made of branches and hay. Because of the distance, they didn't look very big from below.

From a distance, it looks absolutely magnificent, like a scene from a science fiction movie set in an alien world.

Jue and Xi were seeing it for the first time, and their eyes widened. They even raised their front paws and pointed it out to Bai Ze.

Mo explained, "That's the Golden Sparrow tribe."

As soon as he finished speaking, a boy flew down from the sky. He had light yellow hair and a pair of huge gray-green wings on his back.

Bai Ze was stunned.

Winged people? That's so cool!

After seeing who it was, the boy landed on the ground and folded his wings together.

"Fan, it's you guys." The boy's voice was clear and bright.

The Golden Sparrows live in the trees. Both the sub-beastmen and beastmen possess wings, and they live by gathering and hunting small animals.

When meat is scarce, they will also exchange the food they gather with neighboring tribes, and the Black Panther tribe is one of them.

Because the Golden Sparrow tribe's high shaman had once saved Si, the two tribes had always maintained a friendly relationship.
