A Bug’s Desire To Survive - Chapter 84
Just when they looked at each other for a while, Yuan Chu suddenly felt that she and Wu Zhu had successfully established a connection.
What happened?
When he was in doubt, Wu Zhu hugged her, lowered his head and leaned close to her neck, sniffing around. It is obviously a male breath, why does it make him have such an impulse? He wanted to hug tighter, get closer.
Looking at Wu Zhu, who was sticking to her body, undisguised, Yuan Chu didn’t know how to react.
His emotions were too candid and too pure, which made her not feel offended. It’s just that he is still too young to do this kind of thing before he becomes an adult, otherwise it will be detrimental to his future growth. Half-blood orcs are a late-maturing race, and it takes at least 30 years for their brains and bodies to fully adapt to nature.
“What’s wrong with you?” Yuan Chu pushed him away, keeping a reasonable distance from him.
Wu Zhu took her hand and said seriously, “I… want to mate with you.”
Yuan Chu: “We are all male…”
In Wu Zhu’s cognition, mating is for reproduction, and only the opposite **** can perform this kind of exercise, but he does not have that kind of feeling for other females, instead he has an impulse to the primordial male who is also the same. This impulse is fierce and eager, he does not want to suppress, just wants to follow instinct.
“Can’t you?” There was a hint of loss in Wu Zhu’s eyes.
“Of course not.” Yuan Chu rubbed his hair randomly, “Who would do such a thing with his own brother?”
Wu Zhu: “I will…” His instinct told him that he wanted to go further with this person.
“Stop thinking about it, go to sleep.” Yuan Chu lay down, closed his eyes, and made up his mind that he would not let him know that he was a female until he became an adult.
Wu Zhu stared at her for a moment, until her breathing gradually calmed down, then he carefully leaned over and took a light bite on the side of her neck.
The next day, Yuan Chu was sitting by the river weaving rattan baskets. Vera passed by with a wooden shovel and was about to say hello, when she suddenly smelled the scent of an exclusive mark.
Many males like to leave a short-lived exclusive mark on the female, which means that the female already has the master, and the time limit is generally only ten hours.
How can there be a marked breath on the original body? There are only three people in the valley, and it seems obvious who left the mark? But they are all male…
Vera’s mind was a little confused, and she stood there staring blankly at Yuan Chu.
“What are you looking at?” A figure walked up to her, blocking her vision.
Vera came back to her senses and met a pair of eyes with a hint of warning, that hideous face, with its own intimidation, making her hurriedly avoid her eyes.
Wu Zhu had seen such a reaction on countless people’s faces. He knew it was because of his ugly appearance, but Yuan Chu never avoided it, and always looked him in the eyes when talking to him.
“Wu Zhu.” A crisp voice came from behind, breaking the awkward atmosphere between the two.
Yuan Chu came over and handed the rattan basket in his hand to Wu Zhu: “This is for you.”
Wu Zhu took it and looked at her inquiringly.
“Go out and carry this on your back in the future, you can pack a little more stuff.”
“Yeah.” Wu Zhudang was about to carry the rattan basket on his back, a little happy, his eyebrows stretched.
Transforming the valley into a livable place is a huge and time-consuming project. It not only needs to build houses, but also buy clothes, daily necessities, etc. Originally, only some simple objects could be made from local materials. Most of the necessities must be collected outside.
The so-called collection is actually picking up waste that others don’t want. These half-blooded orcs cannot trade with the outside world at all. Unless you hide your identity and risk being arrested, you go to the market to exchange for purchases.
If it was a few years ago, it might have been possible, but now, there is basically no possibility of getting away with it. Humans have instruments to scan, orcs have imprint sensing, and hybrid orcs are struggling.
Of course, if enough saliva is collected and the imprint is completely removed, it should save a little trouble.
In addition to imprints, there are two other identifying characteristics of hybrid orcs, namely body size and tread pattern. Most orcs are tall and sturdy, with dark brown tread patterns on their skin, while hybrid orcs are relatively short and have very shallow tread patterns, and some even don’t. Hybrid orcs can’t disguise themselves as humans either, as their ears are pointed like the orcs.
“Vera, those orcs may still be looking for you, don’t run around.” Yuan Chu told Vera again.
When Vera heard the words, she nodded again and again.
“Let’s go.” Yuan Chu greeted and left the valley with Wu Zhu.
Their tasks today are mainly to find food, collect seeds, pick up junk, and practice animal language by the way.
Wu Zhu has now basically mastered how to obfuscate most of the animal language and accurately listen to the language of a specific target.
The next thing Yuan Chu wanted to train was Wu Zhu’s beast language communication ability.
“There is a group of spotted deer, a group of cloud goats and a cheetah in front.” Yuan Chu threw a few mushrooms into the rattan basket and said to Wu, “You try to imitate the language of cloud goats, without disturbing the cheetah. Under the premise, attract one or two cloud goats.”
Wu Zhu was crawling in the grass, staring straight ahead, waiting for a while, then he opened his mouth and let out a short cry.
Several cloud goats pricked up their ears and looked around, as if looking for something.
Wu Zhu continued to imitate the call of the cloud goat, trying his best to attract their attention.
Two or three minutes later, the cloud goats finally couldn’t hold back their hooves, and approached with their heads probing.
At this moment, Yuan Chu suddenly said, “Stop calling.”
Wu Zhu turned his head in confusion.
Yuan Chu whispered: “The cheetah was also attracted by you.”
Wu Zhu: “…”
The two quickly climbed up to the tree, but after a while, they saw a vigorous black figure jumping out of the woods and turning around where they had been.
At this time, a bleating sound of sheep came from not far away, which quickly attracted the attention of the cheetah.
Several cloud goats paced and entered the attack range of the cheetah without realizing it.
The cheetah rushed out as fast as lightning, biting the throat of a cloud goat in one bite, before waiting for it to breathe, and quickly pounced on another cloud goat that was about to flee.
But in just three minutes, two cloud goats were poisoned.
“You failed to attract monsters.” When the cheetah was full and left, Yuan Chu summed up Wu Zhu’s performance.
Wu Zhu: “…why?”
Yuan Chu explained to him: “You just imitated the cry of cloud goat for help. Although this signal can attract them, it also makes the cheetah think that there is a helpless and easy-to-catch little poor here.”
Wu Zhu: “…”
“Follow me.” Yuan Chu jumped off the tree and took Wu Zhu to a lake.
“Most animal languages are not as complicated as orcs and humans. They mainly send out emotional signals. You should be optimistic.” Yuan Chu looked at the calm lake and called, “Black ribbon fish…”
He opened his mouth, and a strange sound wave came out of his throat.
After a while, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, and then a small black fish emerged from the water, jumping up and down happily.
“Silver Fin…” The sound wave was converted into another frequency.
A small silver fish tossed out, intertwined with the previous black fish.
“Red-skinned fish…” The sound waves were long and melodious, passing through the surface of the lake and entering the water.
A big fish with a length of more than two meters and six thick and long tentacles slowly surfaced to the surface, causing a large splash of water.
With the original call, the calm lake gradually became lively, and fish of different colors, types, and sizes flocked here. As far as the eye could see, they were densely packed, covering the entire lake.
Yuan Chu stood by the lake, like a leader, commanding this huge underwater army. A slender body with a strong aura.
Wu Zhu was fascinated, and a dazzling light burst out in his eyes.
At this moment, a loud chirping sound came from the sky, and a sparrow swooped down, its sharp claws aimed at the red-skinned fish in the lake.
When it was about to catch the red-bearded fish, Yuan Chu suddenly made a sound: “Hey…”
The sparrow froze in shape, flapped its wings in a hurry, swept across the lake with a sharp turn, and flew into the sky again.
Wu Zhu heard Yuan Chu imitating Lei Ying’s cry just now, and easily frightened the sparrow away.
While the sparrows were circling in the air, the fish in the lake dispersed one after another, but they disappeared into the water in a moment.
Wu Zhu really saw the power of the beast language, and he was like the king of beasts.
The people around him look so thin, but in his eyes, they are extremely powerful.
He wants to catch up with her, defeat her, and then own her.
What about males? As long as he becomes stronger than her, he is qualified to pursue her!
At this moment, Wu Zhu has an ultimate goal to strive for in his heart.
The two spent a day in the jungle and gained a lot.
Seeing that it was getting late, the two decided to return.
Halfway through the journey, the two suddenly stopped, looked at each other, took out the powder of smoky grass and sprinkled them on their bodies, and then burrowed into the dense forest and lurked.
After dozens of minutes, a group of orcs appeared in their sight while pressing seven or eight mixed-race orcs.
The half-blooded orcs were male and female, large and small, the older ones were in their forties and the younger ones were only five or six years old. Their hands and feet were tied with ropes, and their bodies were covered with scars. When their speed slowed down a little, some orcs cursed. push and shove.
The little half-blood orc was startled and burst into tears.
“Why are you crying? It’s annoying!” An orc slapped him casually, “Our orc children are as old as you can go out hunting, look at you, only know how to cry, it’s just a bunch of trash!”
A mixed-race female picked up the child with difficulty, bowed repeatedly, and pleaded with them in an indistinct animal language.
“Hurry up, don’t waste time.” Another orc came over, grabbed the child and hung it on his shoulders, urging, “It’s getting dark, we need to find a place to spend the night as soon as possible.”
The other orcs complied, pulling on the ropes that bound the half-blood orcs, speeding up their journey.
Wu Zhu and Yuan Chu hid in the bushes and watched them leave silently.
“Originally, I was a little uncomfortable.”
“What’s wrong?”
“I don’t think the half-blood orcs should be treated like that.” Wu Zhu didn’t know how to express the humiliation that his dignity was trampled on and his freedom was deprived.
“You feel right.”
“what should I do?”
Yuan Chu stood up and said calmly, “There is no other way but to become stronger.”
