Chapter 118 Getting Bitten
Rat Moon looked curiously at the strange-looking thing in her hand and called out to Lin Baiyan, who was not far away, "Priest, come and take a look at this big guy, what is this thing?"
Lin Baiyan's face was almost touching the lake when he heard Shuyue calling him. He shook the mud off his hands and slowly waded towards him.
As soon as he got to a spot not far from him, Lin Baiyan spotted the thing lying next to Shu Yue and took a closer look.
Isn't this a lotus root?!
Are there still lotus roots at this time of year?
Lin Baiyan picked up the heavy lotus root. It was quite large, with about seven or eight sections. He looked pleased and said, "This is the lotus root I told you about!"
Perhaps he misremembered, or perhaps it was a lucky lotus root left over from last year's snow season that hadn't rotted.
Lin Baiyan carefully rinsed the lotus root in the water, saying, "Let's dig up some more and take them back to make soup!"
Yang Ye was astonished by the length of the lotus root. "Are these all edible?"
Lin Baiyan nodded. The lotus has a high edibility rate; the lotus flower, lotus leaves, lotus pods, and lotus roots can all be eaten.
"Let's remember this place so we can come back to dig for lotus roots later."
There will definitely be more lotus roots in the fall!
The few sub-orcs worked for quite a while before finally stopping, satisfied. Their carts were already full of things, and that was about it.
Lin Baiyan led Shuyue and Yangye to slowly wade to the shore and cleaned themselves off.
After the few sub-orcs finished packing, they began searching everywhere for Pig Mountain and Badger Village.
At this moment, the two male orcs were being chased around by the long-necked beast.
The two of them had originally intended to try and catch the long-necked beasts, but they angered them, and several ferocious long-necked beasts chased after them and bit them.
It wasn't that they couldn't subdue these animals, but Lin Baiyan had said beforehand that they needed to be alive. They were clumsy, and he was afraid that if he used too much force, he would kill them.
Pig Mountain was quick-witted and found himself hiding behind something, so the long-necked beasts couldn't see him and swarmed after Badger Cun to bite him.
Badger was young after all, and as he was being chased, he started circling around the woods, muttering something unintelligible.
When Lin Baiyan led Shuyue and Yangye over, they ran into Huancun, who was being chased and was covered in sweat, his face contorted in pain.
Seeing that Lin Baiyan was acting rashly and desperately, he instinctively ran towards them, crying, "Help! Help!"
"Priest, save me! Save me!"
Badger ran while rubbing his butt. That long-necked beast's mouth was no joke; it had bitten him several times, and his butt was about to swell up!
Zhu Shan was originally watching the excitement, thinking that the male beastmen were still young and it would be good for them to get some exercise. But then he saw Badger Cun, that silly guy, leading five or six long-necked beasts, run up to Lin Baiyan and the other sub-beastmen.
His expression changed drastically. Not to mention that Lin Baiyan was a priest, even if they were just a few ordinary sub-beastmen, they shouldn't be running towards their own people in danger!
Zhu Shan transformed into his beast form and charged towards them, thinking that he should stop these long-necked beasts as soon as possible. Their fighting power was not to be underestimated; once they bit down, they would not let go and would tear off a piece of flesh!
Lin Baiyan looked at the long-necked beasts in front of him, which were even larger than the giant white geese on Earth, and felt a chill run down his spine.
Before, we couldn't see them clearly from a distance, but now that we're closer, these long-necked beasts look to be at least twice the size of the big white goose!
His face looked very fierce, and he looked to weigh at least 30 or 40 pounds!
Even if you don't get bitten, just bumping into it is still quite a shock.
Pig Mountain was fast, but he was too far away. Seeing Badger Cun about to reach them, Lin Baiyan quickly pushed Sheep Leaf and Rat Moon aside, then went to find a tree…
As the long-necked beast following Badger Cun sped closer and closer, Lin Baiyan quickly put his arms over his head and squatted down.
Let him take a bite, it's not like he hasn't been bitten before!
at this time.
The epiphyllum mark on his wrist flashed by, and the originally ferocious long-necked beasts stopped in their tracks when they got close to Lin Baiyan. They sniffed around him and then obediently coiled up.
They just circled around him.
Badger: "???"
Wasn't he the one whose butt was being bitten by the long-necked beast and wouldn't let go?!
What's going on now?
Why do they become so obedient when they come to the priest?
Is he unworthy?
In that brief moment, Pig Mountain ran up to them. Just as he was about to move closer to the priest, he noticed that several long-necked beasts looked rather wary.
There was a hint of hostility in his gaze.
Pig Mountain "..."
Okay.
It seems there's no danger anymore.
At this moment, Shuyue and Yangye also stood up. Zhushan quickly approached Huancun and slapped him hard across the face.
"Who gave you permission to lead the long-necked beast toward the orcs?"
Even the usually mild-mannered Zhu Shan was getting angry. "The priest is still there!"
Protecting the sub-orcs has always been the responsibility of the male orcs, especially since they brought the priest with them this time.
The priest and the chieftain are the lifeblood of a tribe. The chieftain represents the highest fighting force, while the priest is equivalent to the chief strategist of the tribe. Since ancient times, they have been the kind of people that male beastmen prioritize to protect.
Badger, that simpleton, lost his sense of proportion over just a few long-necked beasts.
He thought it best to let this fool gain experience in the tribe for a few years first!
After being lectured like this, Badger hung his head dejectedly and listened obediently. He didn't think too much about it; he was just annoyed by being chased by the long-necked beast.
He was torn between not being able to kill the enemy and not being able to fight back.
Lin Baiyan didn't disturb the male beastman disciplining the cub; these things weren't his concern, so he decided not to interfere.
He had more important things to do now. Lin Baiyan squatted down and tentatively reached out, wanting to touch the long-necked beast's head.
"Don't touch!"
Zhu Shan caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, but before he could stop it, he could only watch helplessly as the priest's hand stretched out in a wide arc.
You'll get bitten!
However, Pig Mountain's wish did not come true. The long-necked beast, which had been fierce before, did not react at all to Lin Baiyan's hand. It turned its head slightly away so that he would not touch it. Seeing that the sub-beastman did not make any other moves, it lowered its head and went back to eating grass.
Pig Mountain: "..."
Badger: "???"
Lin Baiyan: "!!!"
Okay, okay, they were too naive!
Lin Baiyan looked at this strange scene, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes unreadable, as if he were thinking about something.
Pig Mountain and Badger were not convinced by the superstition, so the two orcs walked towards the long-necked beasts, and unsurprisingly, they were stared at by the beasts as if giving a warning.
