Chapter 16 Gifts from Nature
In the lush forest, fine sunlight shines through the leaves and spreads on the grass.
Entering the mountains, He Qianqian completely let herself go.
I wish I could be like Tarzan and roar a few times.
As the saying goes, "good things come to you." Since coming to the animal world, her luck has improved a lot.
Just when she was thinking about going into the mountains for a walk, someone immediately assigned her a task, sending her into the mountains to find seasonings, and also sent a bodyguard.
Li Yan was reluctant to let her walk, so he used an animal skin bag to tie her small body to his back. The tall young orc carried her easily.
He Qianqian can also free her hands, smell here, look there, and then point her little hand in a certain direction.
The two male orcs took her along the way to explore, attacking wherever she was directed.
He Qianqian remembered the taste of those seasonings. Her sense of smell was so sensitive that she could easily capture extremely faint smells, not to mention seasonings with strong flavors.
The three of them worked in perfect harmony and the search efficiency was extremely high.
For the first time, He Qianqian felt that being a cat beast was not bad.
"There are wild onions in this direction. Can you smell the strong onion scent, Li Yan?"
"Of course I smell it. It smells like there should be a lot, but no matter how many there are, there won't be too many. Shall we go take a look?"
"Okay, it's safe to go this way." Lingye replied affirmatively.
Lingye and Li Yan used their special abilities to run quickly through the forest.
Cats are flexible and agile, and are extremely good at climbing. When they encounter obstacles, they react and dodge very quickly. If they can't find a way out, they climb trees, climbing over one tree after another to overcome obstacles.
The forest is densely packed with trees, shrubs, and vines, but this does not affect the speed of trekking at all.
Lingye has powerful supernatural powers and is very familiar with the area. When he moves up and down, he often only leaves an afterimage. The lynx is not small in size, but it can move around freely like a small squirrel.
Li Yan's superpowers have greatly increased recently. With Ling Ye leading the way in front, he followed behind and didn't feel any effort at all.
The two of them shuttled between the ancient trees and their intertwined branches, like elves in the forest.
This is a tough time for He Qianqian. For this human-turned-native cat, it's like riding a roller coaster.
It flew up and down, and every time it felt like it was going to hit the tree trunk, but it never did.
Every time I was lucky enough to escape danger, but I was still very scared.
She was so excited that she opened her mouth and eyes wide, and her heart was flying.
The soul is still chasing after me.
But soon she calmed down and nestled on his back calmly.
She believed that her husband would never let her down no matter what.
Soon we found large patches of wild onions, the kind that we could never pull out.
The resources in the primeval forest of the animal world are truly abundant.
The purpose of this mission is to find enough varieties of spices and remember where each variety grows.
You just need to collect some and take them back. The patriarch will send people to collect larger quantities later.
Lingye and Li Yan skillfully pulled up the wild onions and took some with roots back to plant.
They didn't let He Qianqian do anything, and just asked her to stay on their backs because there might be poisonous insects in the bushes.
He Qianqian planned to plant all the edible plants she found in the open space near the clan leader's cave.
This makes it convenient for the orcs to identify and remember the shape and smell of the plant's leaves, so they won't make the wrong choice when collecting them in the future.
If you identify the wrong plant or eat a poisonous grass, you may be doing something bad with good intentions.
Lingye was carrying a large animal skin bag, and he was responsible for carrying all the plants they had collected.
Of course, you can also put it in his personal space. His space is very large, with 50 cubic meters.
There are many mushrooms in the forest, but the orcs of the Golden Cat Tribe are not good at identifying them and are afraid of eating poisonous ones.
He Qianqian wasn't sure either, so she simply ignored it for now.
Then we found a large patch of wild leeks. Wild leeks are at their freshest in spring, but this large patch growing under the shade of the trees is still green, fresh and full of flavor.
Soon he collected a large bag of them.
Lingye is also responsible for remembering the exact location of these plants so that he can bring people to collect them next time.
As winter storage, the more supplies collected and stored, the less hungry we will be during the snowy days and we can survive until the warm season.
He also never let his guard down, always paying attention to his surroundings and not missing any potential danger.
Wherever they go, they are not too far away from the tribe. Even a few roars can be heard by the warriors inside the tribe, and the special distress signal will attract rescue.
The roar of each orc is unique, just like its animal patterns and prints.
Can be distinguished by familiar orcs.
Then, the small team discovered a lot of perilla.
Any smell that an orc has smelled before will form a long-lasting memory, even remembering it for a lifetime.
The harvest was fruitful and we found large patches of Patchouli.
This kind of seed-bearing herb, as long as there is one plant that bears seeds, will grow into large tracts over the years.
He Qianqian was full of praise for the gift from nature.
Next, He Qianqian focused on looking for wild ginger, peppercorns and star anise.
It is the dry season, which is autumn, and many wild fruits in the forest are ripe.
When the fruits are ripe, they fall to the ground in dense layers, but no one cares about them. As they rot, they give off a wine-like smell.
Li Yan also picked a lot of edible fruits and brought them back.
They were already dozens of kilometers away from the tribe, but in the eyes of the orcs, it was not far.
"Come this way, I can smell the scent of Sichuan pepper, it's particularly strong." He Qianqian pointed to the south.
The two males marched quickly again, and soon a forest of peppercorns appeared before their eyes.
This thing is covered with thorns, and no matter how capable a cat is, it is not easy to get around it.
When Lingye touched the thorn, he immediately braked and dodged, stopping to the side.
Li Yan, who was behind him, also braked in time.
But he forgot to lower himself.
"Ouch, it hurts." He Qianqian's scalp was pricked because her head was so long.
Curiosity really killed the cat.
"Qianqian, are you okay?" Li Yan paused and was about to turn around.
"Don't move, don't move. My hair is tangled in the branches." He Qianqian shouted in pain.
Li Yan dared not move.
Lingye walked quickly forward and patiently untied the pepper branches that were tangled in He Qianqian's hair.
It was with great difficulty that her hair was untied and rescued.
He looked down and saw that He Qianqian's eyes were moist with tears hanging on her thick and long eyelashes. Under her long eyelashes, her blue-purple eyes were even more charming.
Lingye's Adam's apple moved slightly and he looked at her intently. She was so beautiful, so beautiful that one couldn't take his eyes off her.
He Qianqian happened to look into his eyes, and saw that the deep yellow-green eyes were no longer cold, but showed warmth and heartache, a hint of regret, and some complicated and indescribable meaning.
"It's all my fault. I should have gotten away earlier and warned you." Lingye apologized to her.
He Qianqian was stunned for a moment: "It's okay, it's okay, it's my fault for sticking my head out to watch the fun."
Lingye pursed his lips and continued to look at her. Being so close, the fragrance from her body became even stronger, making him feel a little dizzy, but his heart was warm and he stared at her intently.
The little female has fluffy hair and big blinking eyes. Her small face, rosy lips and straight nose make her look even cuter and more charming.
Lingye couldn't help but raise his hand and touched her hair with his big palm.
He Qianqian: ...
Lingye's pupils shrank slightly, and he realized that he had actually done it. But he still didn't want to stop, and touched the soft hair a few more times before saying, "Qianqian, your hair is messy, but it's very cute."
Then he put his hands behind his back, rubbing his fingers together, savoring the warm touch of the little female.
He Qianqian: ... (Am I being masturbated?)
