Chapter 227: Winged Tiger vs Lop-eared Rabbit vs Teng Snake 19
The swamp washed by rain was filled with the smell of dampness and decay, and the trees were tall and gloomy.
Bai Xu held Meng Jiao in his arms and jumped all the way to the depths, until he found the place where Meng Jiao had been abducted before.
There were scattered animal carcasses around. When they saw the two people appear, pairs of dark green eyes emerged from the mud and stared at them warily. They did not sink back into the mud until they smelled Meng Jiao's scent.
On the empty space where there used to be, there now lay a white snake covered in wounds. Its scales were incomplete, the wounds were of varying depths, its body was almost stained red with blood, and it lay on its back on the ground, dying.
Bai Xu sniffed carefully and found that there was no scent of the peacock here anymore. However, looking at Mu Bing's condition, it didn't look like he had won the fight. He probably joined forces with his men to drive him away temporarily.
Mu Bing seemed to smell Meng Jiao's scent in the air. His body trembled slightly. He struggled hard to turn over and get back into the cave. However, his breathing was weak and he couldn't even escape. He could only curl up his snake head tightly, fearing that he would see her disappointed look.
Bai Xu carried Meng Jiao across the swamp. He pursed his lips and looked at Meng Jiao's red eyes. He was also angry at his previous weakness. He put her down and did not move forward.
Meng Jiao turned around and gave Bai Xu a soothing look, then walked closer to Mu Bing.
When I touched his scales that had lost their luster and reached into his inner strength to check, I could no longer control the tears in my eyes.
The back half of the spine was completely broken. No wonder he couldn’t even turn over.
The strong power of the wood spirit was transmitted into Mu Bing's body, accompanied by Meng Jiao's weak and suppressed sobs.
The huge snake body froze, and it frantically tried to turn its head back toward Meng Jiao. When it saw that she was actually crying, it was obviously at a loss.
"Don't cry. You know I'm most afraid of you crying. What do you want? Ice cubes?"
It would have been better if she hadn't said anything. After she did, Meng Jiao felt even worse. Damn ice cubes, why are there such stupid people in the world? She's not hot now,
She bit her lip and kept silent, but she couldn't control her tears which kept falling harder and harder.
It felt like there was a dull stone knife grinding at his heart. Mu Bing felt that this feeling was even more painful than when he was injured in the fight just now. The pain made him flustered.
"Are you scared? I've solved it. He won't come back. Stop crying, okay?"
The scarlet snake's tongue gently licked away the tears on her face. Meng Jiao paused but did not refuse.
Seeing this, Bai Xu, who was distressed and wanted to step forward, paused, but after hesitating for a moment, he stepped forward to help wipe Meng Jiao's tears. By the way, he spoke to Mu Bing, who froze after realizing what he was doing.
"Thank you this time."
Mu Bing came back to her senses, and was relieved to see him coming. She thought that she would not cry anymore, so she lowered her iris and gently placed her snake head on the other side of Meng Jiao.
"Ah."
Mu Bing was seriously injured this time. Meng Jiao treated him for a long time and even fed him spiritual spring water, but she could only barely heal his flesh wounds.
Helplessly, Bai Xu had to take advantage of the night and return to the tribe while holding Meng Jiao and carrying a large white spicy strip.
After throwing Mu Bing back to his own cave, Bai Xu skillfully started to light a fire and cook the broth. Seeing that he was not in a good mood, Meng Jiao reluctantly reached out to him.
"Bai Xu, can you hug me?"
Bai Xu put down the wooden spoon, knelt on one knee beside the bed, put his head into her belly and hugged her tightly, his tone full of apology,
"I'm sorry, Bai Xu failed to protect you."
Touching his tiger ears that drooped due to grievance, Meng Jiao suppressed the helplessness in her heart.
"No apologies, Bai Xu will always be the best in my heart."
Bai Xu nudged his head, took a deep breath, and looked up at her.
"Then can Bai Xu be greedy and keep you to himself for a while longer?"
Meng Jiao looked into his eyes seriously and sincerely, knowing that this was the rule of the beast world and the task she had to complete.
"of course."
In the following days, because Mu Bing still had to absorb the beast crystal of Ares in his body, he began to hibernate. Meng Jiao only needed to go to him every day, open his mouth, pour a bowl of spiritual spring water and pass the wood spirit, and life was relatively peaceful for the time being.
On the second day, Meng Jiao took out the lake salt they had brought back from the space and spread it out in the square to dry.
As the current weak beast manager, He took the initiative to approach after finishing today's knitting.
"Emissary, is there anything we can do here?"
Meng Jiao was also very pleased when she saw He, who was now full of vigor. The orcs were actually very smart. She only taught them how to weave a backpack.
Now when she looked at the things in the tribe, she saw that there were more than the few things she had taught them. They had even developed other things on their own, as well as some novel small baskets and various other daily necessities.
It is said that He was treated differently by the young females in the tribe because of this.
Now that winter is approaching, more and more male animals are trying to please or look for mates, hoping to have the right to mate while living in caves during the winter.
The females here have one or two estrus periods every year and are not able to conceive at all times, so it is not difficult to understand why the males would fight for mating rights.
Even Meng Jiao received flowers secretly sent to her by some bold warriors in the tribe, which made Bai Xu jealous. Not only did he throw away the flowers, he also picked more and brought them back. He also used this as an excuse to torment his own little female at night.
While the salt was drying, Meng Jiao led a group of tribesmen with tools and set out again to collect salt. On the way back, the group deliberately walked towards the golden location in Meng Jiao's memory.
In the distance, patches of conspicuous golden rod-shaped plants stood on both sides of the river bank. Meng Jiao was slightly excited at the thought of a certain possibility, but it was still some distance away, so she couldn't guarantee it.
It was not until they were close enough to see the shape of the fruit that she patted Bai Xu happily and told him to speed up.
The wheat was actually ripe golden wheat in large pieces, and the grains were almost three times larger than those of modern wheat.
Although Bai Xu didn't know why his little female was so excited, he still put her on his neck and helped her reach the so-called ears.
Meng Jiao looked at the area occupied by wheat. It was almost ten miles long and there were a lot of wheat.
Fortunately, this location is still in the territory of the tiger tribe. It seems that we must find a way to take these back recently. Moreover, we can burn the remaining straw and bring back the wood ash to filter out impurities in the coarse salt.
When the beasts dragged the wheat ears back, the tribesmen were very curious, but they dared not put them into their mouths.
This is a funny thing to say. One day, an orc brought a kind of flat yellow fruit. After Meng Jiao checked what it was, she happily asked them to get more.
The tribesmen were happy and thought it was delicious again. After all, Meng Jiao had brought back delicious food before, which made them picky eaters and no longer liked to eat raw meat.
Who would have thought that after eating it, not only did I not feel it was delicious, but I also vomited bubbles when I drank water for the whole afternoon.
Meng Jiao laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes after she found out about it, because the fruit was called soap fruit, which was a unique product in this world.
Although it is non-toxic, as long as it is still in the stomach and has not been decomposed, it is inevitable to spit bubbles after drinking water. I can imagine the appearance of a tiger opening its mouth and blowing bubbles...
