Chapter 305 For the Tribe (6)
Orcs are simple-minded, and Qingfeng, who is still a minor, is even more so.
He chattered on and on, and before Jingli even had a chance to speak, he had already told her most or least about the tribe.
For example, this tribe originally consisted only of people who lived as flying tigers, and the tribe was also called the Flying Tiger Tribe. However, due to frequent natural disasters and beast tides, many small tribes perished and gradually gathered here, forming the Cangbei Tribe of today. Zhi also went from being the head of a tribe to becoming the leader of the tribe.
Jingli secretly puffed out her chest, feeling that her guess was really brilliant!
After showing Jingli the different areas where the orcs lived in the tribe, Qingfeng had been talking for quite a while. In a few moments, he ran to Jingli's side, shook his head, and revealed two round, furry ears.
Mostly black, with two clusters of bright yellow adorning the middle of the ears, they look very cute.
"Hey, outsider, what's your name?"
To them, "outsider" should just be a term, and Jingli didn't find it offensive, so she replied.
"Hmm... Your name is so complicated. Why is it Jingli instead of Haili?"
Jingli wanted to say that her mother had given her the name, but thankfully she didn't say it aloud, because Qingfeng had revealed new information while talking to herself:
"Oh dear, why are you thinking about these things? Our names were given to us by the Tree of Life, you probably don't even know that!"
"Wait, no, wait, there's a Tree of Life in the sea too? There should be, I've never been to the beach before."
"Jingli, Jingli, I heard that sea creatures are born in the form of eggs. Is that true? Do you really need to rely on yourselves to survive until you reach sub-adulthood? Don't you have tribes?"
A barrage of questions left Jingli bewildered. Perhaps it was because of this legend that Zhicai didn't find Jingli's appearance strange.
Jingli evasively replied, "I don't know either."
Qingfeng nodded: "That's right, that's right. If you were born as yourself, it's understandable that you wouldn't know."
He quickly convinced himself and asked, "Jingli, will you stay in our tribe? Our tribe is great, and you seem very strong. With you here, our tribe will be even stronger."
Jingli looked at the kitten in her arms and said, "I think so."
He will definitely stay here until the world's problems are solved.
"Great!" Qingfeng jumped up and down, so excited that his tail swished out.
Lively and cute.
Jingli wondered if the original cat would be like this when it transformed into human form in the future, and she couldn't help but look forward to it.
"By the way, Qingfeng, why did you attack me before? Was it just because you suspected me of stealing the cubs?"
Qingfeng thought for a moment: "Yes, but not entirely. Meng thought you were a lone intruder."
Jingli successfully steered the conversation to the point she wanted to know, asking, "Intruders?"
“Mhm.” Qingfeng nodded seriously. “The invaders always appear in groups. They have many powerful weapons, and some can even use natural forces. Ah! The ones you used before! We saw them from a distance when you were fighting the Long-tailed Beast.”
Jingli nodded, frowning. "What do these intruders do?"
Qingfeng shook his head: "This is my first time coming out with a team, so I don't know much. I only heard that they stole the Tree of Life before. The Tree of Life of the Rat Clan and the Earth Ox Clan was stolen by them."
"That's it..."
Qingfeng seemed somewhat disappointed: "The Tree of Life is extremely important to a race. Losing the Tree of Life means losing the offspring, and it also means the destruction of a race."
He sighed and said wistfully, "Although we have great power, we have no way to use the power of nature like the invaders. If we encounter them, we will most likely have no chance of winning."
As he finished speaking, he looked at Jingli with bright eyes: "But you know how, and maybe you can teach us too!"
Jingli chuckled: "I can only give it a try."
He is able to cultivate and absorb the spiritual energy of this world. The former is thanks to his current body, which comes from a fairy in a cultivation world, and the latter is because he has traveled through multiple worlds, learned the conversion of energy and spiritual power, and learned the conversion of energy and spiritual power by imitation, which allows him to apply what he has learned to other worlds.
Even if this method were taught, the orcs here might not be able to learn it.
To exaggerate a bit, even if a true cultivator from the previous world came here, they might not be able to use the spiritual energy of this world.
Even if they can't cultivate, Jingli can still help them forge different weapons.
6058 had stored a lot of useful information in the system, and once he arrived at his accommodation, he went into that portable little space to study intensively.
Qingfeng led Jingli to the cave that belonged to Yuan.
Like other caves, the cave entrance is very high and large; in winter, it might be a bit cold without thick fur.
Outside the cave was a large area, which Qingfeng had mentioned when showing them the dwellings of other tribesmen. This area could be used to build houses and for planting.
Because the tribe is home to people of different tribes, whose animal forms vary in size, everyone in the tribe tacitly uses human or semi-human forms. Naturally, some tribespeople prefer to rest in the houses they have built themselves.
Qingfeng bid farewell to Jingli, telling them that their tribesmen would bring them necessary supplies later. Jingli thanked him, and after Qingfeng left, he carried the kitten into the cave.
He rummaged through the Qiankun space and discovered that many of the things Lu Mingguang, who had a penchant for beautiful but useless things, could actually come in handy in this world.
In addition to the previously used shields that have weak defense but can absorb energy, there are also some special small seeds.
These are not plant seeds, but miniature dwellings made by bored craftsmen in the cultivation world using special wood-based materials. Once planted in a safe environment, they will grow into houses large enough to accommodate people in about half an hour.
At the time, Lu Mingguang found it very interesting and bought all kinds of houses, big and small. Now, Jingli took out a seed in the shape of a detached villa and planted it outside the cave, so he no longer needed to build a house himself.
Seeing this, 6058 snorted twice: "He's got guts."
Then it flapped its wings and landed near the seed, flying left and right.
Jingli smiled.
When Lu Mingguang wasn't around, 6058 would always complain about him, but she secretly missed him.
After entering this world, the networking capabilities based on Zero Boundary were greatly restricted, even more severely than before.
It's possible that something happened before the world had even escaped chaos, and 6058 couldn't even check the worldline, so they could only speculate based on similar cases.
For example, the sea creatures that Zhi mistakenly identified as Jingli have a long period of being eggs, but their hatchling period is very short. They can reach sub-adulthood within ten years. Most of the sea creatures will choose to leave and find a place to settle down in the sea or on land. Their reproduction is random, in other words, they go around to get the power of the Tree of Life.
This was similar to what Qingfeng had heard, and Jingli decided to continue with this setting of hers, so that it would be less likely to make a mistake.
As for invaders, different initial worlds have dealt with different crises, such as creatures from different continents.
However, based on Qingfeng's description, both of them are more inclined to believe that it was Cyphersey's doing. If that's the case, they can only find out from the natives of this world.
