Male supporting role is not a stepping stone

On a relatively flat area on the mountainside, several children aged five or six were playing and frolicking, pushing each other, and their clear laughter could be heard from afar.

Suddenly, one of the children tripped and fell. Strangely, when he fell to the ground, he suddenly turned into a little tiger, and the screams in his mouth turned into a childish roar.

The adults around were not frightened at all. They continued to do their own things, and did not even look at them, as if they were used to this situation.

The children were not panicked. Three of them cheered and pounced on the little tigers. In a blink of an eye, they all turned into little tigers of slightly different sizes and colors. The four furry little tigers scratched each other and rolled together.

The remaining few children who did not turn into tigers surrounded them in the middle, clapping their hands and jumping to cheer them on.

This is a strange world. All people have the same surface structure since they were born, and they all look like human men.

However, almost half of them will have the ability to transform into animals after they turn one year old. They are called orcs by the people here. They are strong and are the main fighting force of the tribe. They are responsible for guarding the tribe and catching prey.

Relatively speaking, people who cannot transform and are called sub-beasts are much weaker. They do not have fangs and claws to resist prey. They are mainly responsible for logistics such as gathering and cooking.

In addition, they have an important ability, which is to combine with orcs and then give birth to offspring to pass on the bloodline of the orcs.

As soon as Yang Yan walked out of the cave, he met a sub-beast with a big belly. Although he knew in the original owner's memory that this world was different from what he had experienced before, it was still not as visually impactful as seeing it with his own eyes. He couldn't help but linger on the other's big belly.

"Yan," the young sub-orc did not feel offended by his eyes, and said excitedly while touching his belly, "The priest said that I will give birth in the next few days. Can you tell me whether he is an orc or a sub-orc?"

"Whether it is an orc or a sub-orc, it is the will of the beast god. We just need to follow it." Yang Yan said mysteriously with a solemn face.

His current identity is the apprentice of the priest. He does not have to collect and work hard like other sub-orcs. All he does every day is to follow the priest to learn how to communicate with the beast god and some simple treatment methods. In the words of later generations, he is a charlatan.

"Oh!" The young sub-orc blushed and said a little awkwardly, "Sorry, I am too impatient. Thank the beast god for giving me a child. Whether he is an orc or a sub-orc, I am very happy."

After chatting with him for a few words, Yang Yan mentioned some equipment work that needed to be done before giving birth. The young sub-orc said goodbye to him and hurriedly made preparations as he said.

Seeing a man who can give birth for the first time, Yang Yan was really curious. However, although he is now a priest apprentice, he is too young and inexperienced. People in the tribe will not let him deliver babies for the midwives.

He can only make plans after his reputation is higher. Anyway, there will be many new midwives every year, so there is no need to be too anxious. Besides, he has more important things to do now.

Looking at the forest where the sun rises, Yang Yan is ready to visit his master, who is also a priest in the tribe.

In the tiger tribe, the status of the priest is very high. Sometimes what he says is even more useful than the tribe leader, because according to legend, he can not only communicate with the beast god believed by the tribe, but also make some herbal medicine to treat the wounded.

However, the original owner has been studying with him since he was six years old, and it has been almost ten years. He has never seen the so-called miracles. It is estimated that he is just pretending to be a god.

As for those treatment methods, in Yang Yan's eyes, his medical skills are not even as good as some barefoot doctors in the feudal era, but in the eyes of people who are still in primitive society, it is already very remarkable.

The priest did not live in a cave like the tribesmen, but used a tree at the foot of the mountain that was so big that seven adults could hug it as his residence. The tree naturally formed a hole about one meter wide at a height of half a meter from the ground.

It was not known whether it was hollowed out by insects or corroded by itself. There was a space of more than ten square meters and five or six meters high. It was quite spacious to live in the upper and lower parts. The tree itself was not dead, but was lush and green with strong vitality.

Yang Yan looked at the tree that was fifty or sixty meters high, and was very impressed by the priest's luck. He was not struck by lightning. Maybe it was really his beast god who was blessing him!

"Didn't I tell you to comprehend seriously?" Seeing him coming to the door, the priest was very surprised, "Why did you come here?"

He was wrapped in animal skin like all the tribesmen, but he wore strange decorations on his neck and wrists, and two strange branches were inserted between his messy gray hair.

The priest was also a sub-orc. Yang Yan didn't know his exact age, but according to the original owner's memory, he should be only about fifty years old, but he looked like a somewhat shriveled old man.

The people with the highest status in the tribe all looked like this, which was enough to show that people's lives in this era were not very good. Even with orcs who could transform and fight with strong combat power, the average life expectancy of the tribe was only in their forties.

Fighting with wild beasts, natural disasters, fighting between tribes, etc., could all take the lives of the orcs. Everyone was struggling hard to survive.

"Master, I received instructions from the Beast God." Yang Yan said directly.

"Instructions from the Beast God?" The priest looked at him suspiciously, "Are you telling the truth?"

Although he firmly believed in the existence of the Beast God, he had never successfully spoken to the Beast God in so many years. Of course, he did not believe that the Beast God would go beyond him and give instructions to an apprentice who had only studied for less than ten years.

However, he knew his little apprentice very well. He was not a beast who could lie casually, and he didn't look like he was lying, so he was very confused.

"Yes," Yang Yan acted very calmly under his gaze, with a pious expression on his face, as if he had really received unwarranted instructions, "Today, in the direction of the rising sun, there will be an angel descending from the sky. , helping our tribe prosper.”

Now the priest started to believe it. After all, if this was a lie, it would be very easy to expose. You only need to look in the direction he said to find out.

After pondering for a moment, he stood up and said: "To the orcs in the tribe, let's go to the direction where the sun rises."

He did not directly say that he was going to greet the divine envoy. Obviously, he did not fully believe what he said, but Yang Yan was not worried. After all, what he said was true. Someone did fall from the sky not long after, but it was not the so-called divine envoy. , but a person from another time and space.

But for people in today's society, that alien is no different from an envoy. After all, he knows a lot of knowledge that they don't understand and can bring them a better life.

The priest has a high prestige in the tribe. Although he did not explain what he wanted to do in the forest, the orcs who stayed in the tribe to guard the safety still separated a team of six people to protect the safety of the two.

The original owner was a weak sub-orc who had never left the tribe since he was a child. He didn't know anything about the situation in the forest. However, the novel he read after his death described that the protagonist once tried to find a way back to his own world. , the direction he was walking at that time was the direction in which the sun rose.

Although Yang Yan has the ability to survive in the wild, he is not as clear about this forest as the locals, so he only told the direction and asked the orcs to lead the way.

Seeing several tall and strong men transform into giant tigers with his own eyes, his fingers felt a little itchy, and he suddenly thought of the little tiger he had raised with human intelligence. If it could also transform into a giant tiger, would it look like these orcs? Same?

While he was running around with random thoughts in his mind, a giant tiger meekly fell in front of him. Yang Yan was stunned for a moment, then understood and climbed up on his back dexterously.

The two giant tigers opened the way in front, the two tigers cut off the rear, and the two tigers carrying him and the priest walked in the middle, protecting their safety to the greatest extent.

The thick pads on the giant tigers' feet made them land very lightly, and the group of people ran forward quickly and silently.

Yang Yan rose and fell with the movements of the giant tiger. He estimated the time in his mind and kept looking at the surrounding environment with his eyes. The scenery at the beginning was similar. There was nothing special except trees and grass and mud.

After walking for about half an hour, he finally saw a big snow-white tree. His heart skipped a beat, and he immediately knew that the place he was looking for was almost there.

"Wait a minute!" He patted the giant tiger under him and said, "There is a pool near here. Do you know where it is?"

Several giant tigers suddenly stopped, and one of the ones leading the way nodded and let out a low roar. Unfortunately, Yang Yan couldn't understand what he wanted to express, and said helplessly: "You can turn into a human form before talking."

The orc couldn't speak human words after he turned into his beast form. He also knew that he had made a mistake, and he quickly changed back. There was a slight blush on his bronze face, and he pointed in one direction and said: "I know what Yan said. That pool is right over there.”

"Then you lead the way, let's hurry over." Yang Yan was happy when he heard this. It would be great if someone knew about it. The time traveler is almost here, and he can save the person before the hero.

The man didn't ask why, he nodded meekly and turned into a giant tiger again. He quickly jumped in the direction he said, and the other tigers quickly followed.

The priest's old bones were bumped hard along the way, but he was extremely excited at this time. At this time, he had completely believed in the divine envoy mentioned by his apprentice. Otherwise, how could he have never left the tribe? Do you know the environment in the forest?
