A Bug’s Desire To Survive

In the next few days, Yuan Chu and Wu Zhu were on the road while teaching.

What half-blood orcs need to learn is not how to distinguish the language of each animal, but rather how to obscure and block messy information, combing countless tangled branches into several accessible streams.

Wu Zhu's daily task is to listen to the originally designated animal languages, and filter all the animal languages ​​other than the designated ones.

"There is a snake hole in front." Wu Zhu made a strange hissing sound.

This is one of the targets of listening today - silver-tailed snakes, and when he focuses on this target, he uses their language unconsciously.

"A hundred meters away from the snake hole, a long-eared rabbit was found." He changed the language channel again and said in rabbit language, "There is no trace of wild boars nearby."

"Not bad." Yuan Chu asked, "Do you want to eat snake meat or rabbit meat today?"

Wu Zhu thought about it and replied, "Rabbit, that snake seems to have just hatched a few baby snakes."

Although these animals are their food, they will not kill them indiscriminately. They hunt only to feed their stomachs. Following the laws of the jungle, they are also ready to be swallowed by wild animals.

"Okay." Yuan Chu had no opinion, watching Wu Zhu pick up the long-eared rabbit, skillfully clean the fur and internal organs, and then skewer it and put it on the grill.

Yuan Chu found some wild fruits and honey syrup, and worked with Wu Zhu to solve today's lunch.

After a short rest, the two continued on their way.

They have entered the range of Yunzhao Mountain, but have not found a suitable place for seclusion. Yunzhao Mountain has a complex terrain, lush trees, clouds and mists, and the rocky vegetation forms a complex and treacherous natural labyrinth. It is difficult for humans to go deep, but for orcs, it is not a hindrance. It's just that such an environment is not conducive to the development of the tribe, so few orcs set foot here.

Wu Zhu asked for the original opinion: "Where do you think it is better for us to settle down?"

"You decide." Yuan Chu believed in the choice of Child of Luck.

So Wu Zhu took Yuan Chu around and finally stopped in a secluded valley. Surrounded by mountains, there are streams and rivers, the grass grows and the trees grow, and it is difficult to see the inside scene from the outside. There is only a narrow and tortuous passage at the exit, and the concealment is very good.

After deciding where to live, Wu Zhu began to think about how to remove the skull mark on the back of his hand.

I didn't care before because no one would come to him. But it's different now. The mixed-race orcs have become the targets of the two tribes. The skeleton flower mark that can be sensed by the orcs has naturally become a hidden danger that will reveal their location at any time.

The Skull Flower Mark is made with a special potion that penetrates into the bone marrow, even if a layer of flesh is scraped off.

"Do you have any solution?" Wu Zhu is used to looking for Yuan Chu when he encounters a problem.

"What is the main raw material for the Skull Flower Mark?" Yuan Chu asked.

Wu Zhu thought for a long time, then shook his head: "I don't know."

Yuan Chu: "...What is this mark called?"

"Skull flower..." Wu Zhu suddenly said, "Ah, it's a skull flower."

"Yes, then do you know what the natural enemy of Skull Flower is?" Yuan Chu asked again.

Wu Zhu thought about it for a long time, and then showed the same puzzled expression as before: "I don't know."

"It's the earthworm, a kind of bug that lives in the soil." Yuan Chu explained, "They like to eat the rhizomes of the skeleton flower, and they have elements in their body that can restrain the skeleton flower pheromone. The reason why the orcs can sense us is that Because this pheromone is working. As long as the pheromone is removed, we won't be sensed by them."

Wu Zhu's eyes twinkled: "So that's how it is."

"The next thing we want to do is catch as many cryptid silkworms as possible, then raise them and collect their saliva."

Therefore, in addition to finding food and practicing animal language, Wu Zhu's daily life has another task - catching the hidden silkworm.

Just when Yuan Chu and Wu Zhu escaped into seclusion, the arrest of the hybrid orcs from outside intensified. Some humans even ventured deep into the jungle to compete with orcs for resources.

The first generation of adult new orcs, showing outstanding abilities. Nowadays, the limited number of new orcs are basically in the orc tribe. Their physical quality and natural talent make humans feel a great threat. Although the orcs have no intention of encroaching on human territory, humans are reluctant to be the passive side.

The two tribes launched a fierce battle for this, and all the mixed-blood orcs under the age of 60 became their hunting targets.

Deep in the dark woods, there was a faint sound of rapid breathing, accompanied by the sound of messy footsteps, a fit figure rushed out of the bushes and kept running. One of the shoes on his feet fell off, and his body was covered with scratches from branches. I don't know how long I had been running, and my whole body was soaked with sweat.

A whistle sounded, and more than a dozen people were chasing after them, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

At this moment, the running bodybuilder suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground. His ankle hurt and he accidentally broke it.

She turned her head and looked in horror and despair at the darkness behind her...

"Just in front!" A dozen orcs jumped out of the woods one after another, but the place where the target fell was empty at this time.

"What about people?" An orc sniffed around and found that the imprint in the air had disappeared.

"She must be hiding nearby, everyone look carefully!"

Orcs use their keen senses of hearing, sight and smell to search the dark woods.

After half an hour, nothing was found.

"Damn it! How did that woman disappear out of thin air?"

"MD, I finally found a mixed-race female, and it turned out to let her run away."

"What should we do now?"

"Look again, if you really can't find it, you can only give up first."

More than a dozen orcs expanded their range and worked hard for another hour, but still couldn't find any clues, so they had to leave angrily.

At this time, in the valley less than 100 meters away from the orcs, Yuan Chu and Wu Zhu were sitting in a dense smoky grass, watching the mixed-race female they rescued together.

The smell of this kind of smoky grass can well cover its own smell, so the orcs outside did not find their traces.

The mixed-race female looked down at the skeleton flower mark covered by the silk gloves, then looked at the two mixed-race orcs in front of her, opened her mouth and let out a low chirping sound: "Thank you."

The half-blood orcs are probably the race that masters the most "foreign languages", and they communicate with each other and use different animal languages.

And then there is this scene.

Wu Zhu hissed: "Which tribe are those orcs from (snake language)?"

The mixed-race female tweeted: "Where is this (bird language)?"

Wu Zhu hissed: "What's your name?"

The mixed-race female tweeted: "You are also mixed-race orcs?"

...

A proper snake speaks with a bird, communication is very difficult and needs to be understood slowly.

Yuan Chu listened to it for a while, but couldn't take it any longer, so he took the initiative to communicate: "My name is Yuan Chu, this is Wu Zhu, what's your name?"

The mixed-race female looked at Yuan Chu in surprise and replied, "My name is Vera, thank you for saving me."

Yuan Chu smiled and said, "No thanks, we are all half-blood orcs, and we should help each other. This is where we live in seclusion, and you can stay if you want."

"I'd love to!" Vera nodded repeatedly, looking at Yuan Chu gratefully, but didn't dare to look directly at Wu Zhu.

Later, Yuan Chu inquired about her situation again, and learned that she originally lived in the periphery of the Feixing Clan and was not taken seriously since she was a child. Later, she was forced to mate with different mixed-race males. She had no right to choose at all. After a few meals, she was so unbearable that she finally decided to run away overnight.

Although her speed is relatively fast among the hybrid orcs, it is still far behind the orcs. After running for a few days, she could not get rid of their pursuit. She thought it was hopeless to escape. and Wuzhu.

Vera stayed there and worked tirelessly to help them build their homes.

Land reclamation, livestock raising, hunting, fishing, silkworm raising… Life is busy and fulfilling, and more importantly, freedom.

Vera is very beautiful, with a fit body, a few centimeters taller than the original, with a somewhat naive personality, and the eagerness of the original is not concealed in her eyes.

"If it's you, I'd love to."

Wu Zhu had just returned from hunting when he heard Vera Chiguo's confession.

A little unhappy.

Wu Zhu gave her a cold look, then walked over to Yuan Chu and stuffed the prey into her arms: "I'm hungry."

"Then let's cook." Yuan Chu took the cleaned prey and was about to start a fire.

Vera immediately followed, and took the initiative to help build a fire, set up a pot to boil water, and chat with Yuan Chu from time to time.

Wu Zhu watched silently, his deep eyes were like cold pools, without a trace of light.

At night, Wu Zhu and Yuan Chu lay together, brewing sleepiness amid the whispers of birds, beasts, insects and fish.

After a while, Wu Zhu called out, "Original."

"Um?"

"Don't mate with her."

Yuan Chu opened his eyes and turned to look at him.

Wu Zhu: "I don't like it."

He made his feelings very straightforward, but he didn't know why he felt this way.

Yuan Chu asked: "It's me who mates with her, why should you like it?"

Wu Zhu's throat made a series of mixed voices of unknown meaning to hide his clumsiness.

Yuan Chu asked again, "Why don't you like it?"

Wu Zhu: "She... is not as beautiful as you."

Yuan Chu: "Is it okay to be prettier than me?"

Wu Zhu: "...No!"

Original: "..."

Wu Zhu finally realized that something was wrong with him. He didn't like Yuan Chu to mate with anyone, not just Vera.

Why? Isn't male and female-mating-mating right? What reason does he have, what qualifications does he have to object?

Yuan Chu turned sideways and asked, "Do you want me to be a single dog?"

Wu Zhu corrected: "We are half-blood orcs, not dogs, and you are not single, you and I..."

with him what? sleep together? Isn't it normal for two males to sleep together?

Looking at this face so close at hand, his heartbeat suddenly became a little chaotic.

The impulse that had been induced in that small building by urge-emotion-incense appeared without warning at this moment.

The author has something to say: Wu Zhu: Oops, this is a heart-wrenching feeling!
