One of the men in their hunting party tried to bite a crab, but the crab pinched his mouth and caused him to bleed profusely.
It's all shell, hard and unappetizing, and doesn't even fill you up.
However, Shen Nong only wanted these. He carefully described the appearance of the oysters, as he wanted to refine oyster sauce.
Eagle Cliff almost thought he had misheard. "You said you want to trade meat and animal hides for these?"
Shen Nong nodded, "Mm."
Eagle Cliff gave Shen Nong a strange look. He had heard some information about the person in front of him from the priest earlier that day.
Although he was somewhat grateful to the fair-skinned and beautiful young priestess for making a deal with the Feather Tribe, and he could understand the previous transactions to some extent, he couldn't understand this at all.
Shen Nong wasn't in a hurry. He understood that in the beast world, the value of prey was determined by how much meat it contained and whether it could fill their stomachs.
In addition, these people don't know how to eat properly; even if delicacies are placed in front of them, they can't taste their freshness.
Everyone has a craving for food. Before you've tasted something delicious, you can resist the temptation, but once you've had it, it's hard to resist.
However, Shen Nong doesn't have the energy to popularize how to eat the food right now, so he wants to get more seasonings first, as these are easier to trade.
Seeing Shen Nong's serious expression and resolute attitude, Yingya had no choice but to nod. "The hunting team will set off tomorrow to gather green grass. I will have someone keep an eye out for what you want."
Yu Ji corrected, "It's seaweed, not green grass anymore."
"Oh, seaweed," Eagle Cliff said helplessly.
After settling all the details, Yu Ji arranged accommodations for the group from the Wood Tribe.
The Feather Tribe doesn't have many caves, and hunting teams usually share a cave in pairs.
The thatched huts outside were somewhat dilapidated, and the orcs living in them were usually children and the elderly.
They were all a little afraid of the powerful orcs, so they had no choice but to squeeze in with Leopard Autumn and the Feather Tribe hunting team.
Yingxi is still unconscious. Yuji had placed Yingxi in his cave to take better care of him.
So Shen Nong moved into a cave in Yingxi, and Ze Yao, who was protecting Shen Nong, also moved in.
Following the pattern of their previous outdoor sleeping arrangements, Ze made a soft bed for Shen Nong and sat by her bedside as before.
Shen Nong didn't feel anything was wrong. He was tired after a long day and was a little sleepy, so he closed his eyes after a while.
The moon hung high in the sky. Unlike the wooden village, this cave had wooden planks as doors and partitions.
The ground in front of the cave was bathed in the pale moonlight, its cool color creating an eerie stillness.
He suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness, his breathing becoming heavier, the beastly blood within him surging, and his body temperature gradually rising.
Feeling hot all over, Ze's mind became chaotic as well.
He looked at his body, somewhat bewildered, not understanding what had suddenly happened to him.
No, it wasn't exactly sudden.
He had been vaguely feeling that something was wrong with him for the past few days, but today it was more serious than usual, and he couldn't suppress it anymore.
Ze felt his consciousness was a little blurry, and he felt a surge of energy inside him, which he desperately wanted to release.
He wanted to fight.
A warm sensation touched her arm, and she abruptly pulled back.
Then he noticed Shen Nong's slightly furrowed brow in her sleep. He stared at it for a long time, then reached out and slowly touched it.
Smooth it with your fingertips.
He had now adapted to the darkness, and his vision had become excellent. The figure of the person in front of him, rising and falling slightly with their breathing, made Ze feel extremely at ease.
But Ze eventually discovered that the more he stared at the priest, the stronger that inexplicable power within him became.
The air seemed to thin out, and Ze quickly looked away, not daring to linger any longer. He hurriedly got up and left the cave.
Chapter 48 Emotions
This is bullshit Orc World! They really know how to play this game!
The evening breeze brushed my face, carrying a slight coolness, but this coolness was completely unable to quell the heat in my body.
A dark figure moved with lightning speed, disappearing into the dense forest in an instant.
Animals that venture out at night feel a chill down their spines; their instincts kick in, and without a second thought, they immediately find a place to hide.
"Boom!"
A giant tree that had grown in the dense forest for nearly a hundred years was struck around the middle by the newcomer, causing it to sway precariously and lean backward with a loud bang.
The animals hiding in the shadows trembled with fear, wondering why such a fierce-looking person had suddenly appeared in the forest today.
Ze felt a slight numbness in his finger bones, and tiny beads of blood appeared on his skin from forcefully pounding against the rough tree trunk.
In just a moment, the tiny wound had healed.
To vent his frustration and irritability, he used all his strength to strike the giant tree.
Not enough. Still not enough.
Something is missing.
Before long, the tree had completely fallen, and the trees behind it also fell to the ground.
The loud noise deep in the forest didn't carry out. Ze frowned and decided to go back.
He was a little worried after being away from the priest for so long.
But when they reached the entrance of the cave, Ze could not take another step.
He still remembered how he felt in the cave.
I have difficulty breathing and feel feverish all over.
He wanted to stay outside, but he heard a faint sound coming from inside.
Ze hurriedly entered the cave and found the priest sitting up, his eyes glazed over, exuding a sense of vulnerability.
Where did you go?
Shen Nong woke up in the middle of the night, her voice was a little hoarse, but still had a soft quality.
Ze wanted to answer, but he only moved his Adam's apple and couldn't say anything.
That feeling is back again.
Shen Nong is not a fan of sleeping in a particular bed. Previously, he was able to sleep peacefully because he had a familiar companion by his side, which created a relatively familiar environment for him.
He slept well today, but in his half-awake state, he felt something was missing, and then he realized that Ze was gone.
Just as he was about to get up to look for it, he saw someone come in.
Shen Nong was so sleepy that he didn't really care to hear where Ze had gone. He patted his bed and said, "Come here and go to sleep."
He didn't move; he was so gripped by an unusual feeling that he couldn't move an inch.
Shen Nong frowned. "Come here."
"good."
Unlike his usual alluring bass voice, Shen Nong felt a sudden sense of crisis rising in her heart upon hearing this hoarse voice.
But he was very sleepy at the time and didn't think deeply. After hearing Ze's response, he lay back down.
Ze took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the unsuspecting priest.
Shen Nong closed his eyes, and sleepiness quickly overwhelmed him. He could feel a warm source beside him, so he sat down.
He unconsciously moved closer to the heat source, his cheek slowly touching it, and finally resting against Ze's arm.
She tried to control her movements, not wanting to wake the sleeping person, but the temperature coming from her arm was getting increasingly scorching.
I can't stand it.
His gaze had unknowingly become fixed on the sleeping person, the priest who was completely unguarded and exuded a soft aura.
Closer, closer.
When Ze realized what was happening, he could feel the tip of his nose brush against the priest's nose.
The heat within him reached its peak at this moment, and he didn't know what to do next.
I just wanted to get a little closer to the priest.
But they're already so close, what else can they do?
Ze didn't understand; his gaze was fiery yet also flickered with confusion.
Shen Nong was awakened by the heat of the breath hitting his face. He felt a little breathless and was forced to open his eyes.
Danger.
He instinctively tried to back away, but before he could move, the other person reacted faster, grabbing the back of his head with a large hand and pressing him forward a few more steps.
Shen Nong struggled, but the other person was incredibly strong. Despite using all his strength, he couldn't budge an inch.
After all that commotion, Shen Nong finally woke up and adjusted to the darkness, able to see some of the scene before her clearly.
Then I saw a pair of eyes that seemed to shine amazingly even in the darkness.
His eyes were clouded with a haze, and his eye sockets were slightly red for some reason, like a wild beast that had been tormented and had endured to the extreme.
"Ze, what's wrong?"
Shen Nong was a little worried; Ze's condition was very strange.
He raised his hand, wanting to touch Ze's forehead. Seeing the fine beads of sweat seeping from Ze's forehead and the heat emanating from his body, Shen Nong thought he had a fever.
Just as her hand was about to touch Ze's forehead, Ze grabbed it with his other hand.
The force was so strong that Shen Nong hissed. As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nong realized that the grip on his hand had loosened a little, but he still couldn't break free.
Such contact had crossed a line. Shen Nong was somewhat displeased, but he was more worried about Ze's health, so he had no choice but to persuade him, "Let me touch you, you seem to have a fever."
Ze ignored this and simply rubbed Shen Nong's hand with his fingertips.
His fingertips traced across the back of his hand, then he played with his slender, delicate fingers, stroking and gently rubbing each one.
