Perhaps it's because there will be good fortune after a disaster. When the bucket in Si Yan's space ran out of water, they found a small lake that had not dried up yet. The
three hungry cubs rolled in the lake. Si Yan also filled her bucket again, then found some wood, cut a few more small buckets and stuffed them into the space.
After that, Dong Chi blushed slightly and said to Si Yan in a shy manner: "Bad female... I want this."
He pointed to Xi Qing and Bei Ji's animal skin skirts.
Si Yan suppressed her smile and said: "Okay, wait for your mother to hunt a long-eared beast." Dong Chi
pointed to the side again, and saw two long-eared beasts lying at the foot of the big tree next to him. "There, it's done."
The fur of the two long-eared beasts was not very complete, but it was no problem to make two animal skin skirts for the cubs.
Si Yan took the long-eared beast skin that Dong Chi had secretly tanned, and secretly glanced at Dong Chi, only to see that the cub's ears were already red.
Si Yan couldn't help but smile slightly, and hid her expression so that Dong Chi wouldn't see it.
She made two sets of animal skin skirts with Dong Chi's long hair, and made buttons with two animal teeth, one with the word "Dong" and the other with the word "Nan".
Dong Chi eagerly flipped through the two animal skin skirts and asked, "Which one is mine?"
Si Yan smiled and said, "Call me mother and I'll tell you." "
Bad female, ugly female, stinky female..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Si Yan said immediately, "This one, this one, I'm impressed by you." Dong
Chi immediately put on his own animal skin skirt. Si Yan patiently flipped through the animal tooth buttons and said to him, "This word is the word "Dong."
Dong Chi stared at the animal tooth buttons, his eyes brightened slightly, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.
Si Yan looked at Nan Mo's animal skin skirt and paused for a moment. She
had been forced to walk all the way, and until now, she had not chosen to stop to look for Nan Mo.
She was carrying three cubs, and she couldn't guarantee their lives on the Fiery Day. If she turned back to look for Nan Mo at this time, it was very likely that all five of them would die.
Would he blame her for being cruel?
Si Yan suddenly laughed at herself.
Strange, right? She should be.
Thinking of this, she put the set for Nan Mo into the space expressionlessly.
The two long-eared beasts hunted by Dong Chi were happily eaten whole, and Si Yan processed the other one and stuffed it into the space.
Si Yan lit a bonfire, which dispelled the haze.
Bei Ji didn't know when he stuck to Si Yan, and he gently pushed her.
Si Yan came back to her senses and looked at the young cub.
Bei Ji was a cub with a delicate mind. He pinched Si Yan's animal skin skirt and whispered, "Mom, if my second brother knew that you let the only male in our family go to find him, he would definitely not blame you."
He pursed his lips. "I promise, he won't blame you."
The cubs in the beast world are not so easy to survive. During the migration on the disaster day, the beasts never stopped for the cubs left behind.
Surviving is a blessing, and not surviving is fate.
And his mother had already asked the only male in the family to look for his second brother.
His mother was just a female, and she had to take care of the three of them. To do this, he felt that his mother had done well enough.
But he was too weak. If he were stronger, he could protect his mother.
Si Yan looked at Bei Ji steadily, and suddenly smiled.
Bei Ji, this little cub, was really considerate. And she was getting worse and worse. She actually let the young cub worry about her.
...
This was the first comfortable night for the cubs since leaving the Yanxiang tribe.
"Mom, can I sleep against you?" Little Bei Ji opened his cute big eyes and rubbed towards her.
Si Yan couldn't stand his offensive at all, and compromised without hesitation.
"Come here."
Bei Ji, who was washed clean, immediately stuck to Si Yan and lay on the temporary hay mat.
As Bei Ji successfully lay down, the other two cubs quietly approached and lay down beside Si Yan.
Si Yan hugged her cub, looked at the stars in the sky, and felt the moment of peace in the dangerous beast world.
"I didn't expect that there was also a red crystal beastman next to Lang Xin." Si Yan said.
Dong Chi said, "It's just a red crystal, nothing special."
Si Yan pinched Dong Chi's face, "You are really arrogant."
Dong Chi immediately struggled to get rid of her hand, "Bad female, I warn you not to touch me!"
Xi Qing said, "In fact, most red crystal beastmen don't form a mate. When Lang You was a green crystal, he became Lang Xin's partner. He advanced after becoming a partner. Now he probably regrets it."
"Why?" Si Yan asked curiously.
Xi Qing said, "Because when males and females form a mate, they only get the possible breeding rights. But for this possible breeding right, the price they pay is too high."
Bei Ji also climbed up and looked at Si Yan and said, "Mom, Bei Ji will not form a mate in the future."
Xi Qing: "Me too."
Dong Chi snorted and said nothing.
"What do you mean? I don't understand." Si Yan said.
Xi Qing explained: "Low-level orcs, like green crystal, gray crystal, or crystal-free males, must rely on their families, that is, females, to survive in the beast world. So their only choice is to form a mate, become a male slave of a female, and get protection by holding together, and get a little chance to reproduce."
"But high-level orcs, like those above red crystal. They yearn for stronger strength and a broader sky, and are often unwilling to be bound by females. So they will not take the initiative to show goodwill to females. But this kind of male is the target of competition among females."
Si Yan asked curiously: "Being fought over by females?"
Bei Ji nodded and said seriously: "Well, females will find ways to form a mate with them. After all, females rely on obtaining males to gain strength."
Although Si Yan did not accept the practices of these females, she still found this kind of method particularly interesting.
"For example, a powerful purple crystal male, does he have to hide to prevent his virginity from being taken away?" Si Yan imagined a lot.
"That's about it."
Dong Chi said, "If you accidentally get paired up, you will be controlled by the female.
But even if a strong male becomes one of the female's bestial husbands, he won't end up in a bad situation, after all, other males can't beat him.
So the strongest males often become the female's legitimate males. They have the most mating and breeding rights."
"Zhengxiong???" Si Yan thought about it for a while before she understood what Zhengfu meant.
Beiji said firmly: "I won't have a partner anyway. There's no point in having a partner. I want to become strong and protect my mother in the future!"
"Don't talk nonsense, little Beiji is as beautiful as an angel. You will meet a female who is devoted to you in the future."
Beiji's face wrinkled: "This is impossible. It's better to rely on myself than on females. I also want to work hard to practice and become a purple crystal beastman or a golden crystal beastman.
Mother, Beiji doesn't want offspring. Give Beiji a few more brothers, Beiji can raise younger brothers. With younger brothers, Beiji will not be the youngest!"
"..."
"What kind of male will our father beast be? Mother, can you tell us about our father beast?" Beiji said expectantly.
Si Yan shook her head awkwardly: "I don't remember."
"Then he must be a not-so-good male." Beiji lay down and leaned against Si Yan in frustration.
"Otherwise, mother wouldn't have forgotten him. He never came to us to protect us."
Dong Chi raised his palm and felt the power contained in his body: "It's okay not to have a father beast."
Xi Qing nodded: "We can become strong."
As the Fiery Day is approaching, the temperature difference between day and night becomes huge. The temperature during the day may be 50 or 60 degrees, but the temperature at night is below 10 degrees.
The three cubs clung to Si Yan for warmth. This was the most comfortable and warm night in recent days.
The next morning, one big and three small started on the road again.
After walking on the hot road for about seven or eight days, the water and food in Si Yan's space ran out again.
The situation became serious again.
"Isn't it the Fiery Day yet?" The high temperature of 40 to 50 degrees on the surface of the body made Si Yan very uncomfortable. In addition to Si Yan, the three snake beast cubs were also very uncomfortable.
Snakes are afraid of heat, especially hot weather. In this weather, Bei Ji is the first one who can't stand it.
"Mother... I... I can't hold on any longer." Beiji was so hot that his whole body was burning. "I can't make it to Dark Sun Lake."
"Beiji, get on my back." Si Yan squatted down.
"Mother is tired too, I won't come..."
Si Yan carried Beiji on her back without saying anything.
"We agreed that no one can be left behind."
