I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 159 Blue-Eyed Beast

Bai Ling was overjoyed beyond words. He took out an axe from his basket and was about to start chopping down the blackwood.

Wu and Feng also wanted to come up and help. Bai Ling said, "Father, Wu, go and look around in other places to see if there are any dead black trees. If there are, cut them down. I have a great use for this kind of tree."

Now, besides Zhan, Bai Ling has the greatest prestige in the tribe. When he heard that blackwood was very useful, Wu Hefeng didn't say anything and immediately went to find the second dead blackwood.

After they had taken two steps, Bai Ling called out again, "Father, if there are no dead ones, then cut down the living blackwood."

The forest was dense, and it wasn't easy to find a dead tree. Wu and Feng searched for quite a while before finding one. Wu started cutting down the dead blackwood, while Feng found a living blackwood tree and started cutting it down.

Dragging the three blackwood trees out of the forest, all three were panting heavily. However, neither Feng nor Wu complained of being tired. When they saw Bai Ling's bright eyes, they knew that this tree called blackwood must be of great use.

It could very well be something that brings about a huge change to the tribe.

In the afternoon, the tribesmen who had gone out hunting returned, having hunted a huge blue-eyed beast.

The Blue-Eyed Beast is a very large wild beast, even larger than the White Lion Beastman, the largest beast in the tribe. It is very fierce, and the beastmen will not provoke it unless there is a severe shortage of food.

The beastmen made a raft out of wood. Several beastmen pulled from the front and several others pushed from the back. In the past, when they caught prey, they would either carry it back or lift it on their backs. The method of making a simple raft out of wood and putting the prey on it was taught to them by Bai Ling.

Transporting larger game using this method is indeed easier than carrying it.

Besides the orcs transporting the prey, three other orcs were walking slowly. Although they had killed the Blue-Eyed Beast, some of their tribesmen had been injured.

This is why orcs are unwilling to confront Blue-Eyes Beasts. Although killing Blue-Eyes Beasts can yield a lot of meat, the risks are simply too great.

In this world, injury means risk. Even though orcs are physically strong, many will still lose their lives due to injuries without medicine.

The beastmen who remained at the camp rushed forward. Bai Ling ran at the front of the crowd and first saw his father holding onto the vines.

Cang was the leader of the hunting team. When he saw his partner and son arrive, he was slightly taken aback at first, and then asked his partner who ran over, "Feng, why did you bring Ling with you?"

Feng replied, "Ling was looking for a special kind of wood, so we came here."

Yue pushed the raft from behind, and Bai Ling ran to the back to push it with Yue.

After the Blue-Eyed Beast was transported to the tribe, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. The orcs who stayed behind quickly handed hot water to the orcs who had returned from hunting, and also gave them dried meat to eat.

Bai Ling looked Yue up and down several times before asking, "Yue, are you hurt?"

This wasn't the first time Bai Ling had seen his tribesmen injured, but it was the first time he had witnessed the hardships they endured while hunting.

Hunting such a large beast must have been extremely dangerous. Bai Ling couldn't even imagine how her people fought against such a huge beast. Even though the beast forms that her people transformed into were also very large, they would still be injured if they were even slightly touched by such a large beast.

Although Yue seemed fine, Bai Ling wasn't sure if Yue was really not injured.

Yue shook her head and said, "I'm fine. This blue-eyed beast was fighting with another blue-eyed beast for territory and got injured. It was because it was seriously injured that we dared to surround it."

Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

He then went to see his father, Cang, who had no injuries. Bai Ling was completely relieved.

The wind was asking its mate how it had managed to defeat the blue-eyed beast.

Cang took a sip of water: "This Blue-Eyed Beast was seriously injured, and we killed it without much effort." He pointed to the large iron hammer behind Yue and said, "Ling, thanks to this, if Yue hadn't used it to hit the Blue-Eyed Beast's injured leg hard, there would definitely have been more tribesmen injured."

Long knives are more effective for hunting small to medium-sized prey, but for very large prey, smashing with a hammer or axe is much more practical than chopping with a knife.

In addition to the long knife, each hunting team was also equipped with a large iron hammer and two large axes. Bai Ling did not have a scale at hand, so he did not know how heavy the large iron hammer was, but he estimated that it must weigh more than 100 kilograms.

Using such a heavy iron hammer to strike the Blue-Eyed Beast's injured leg is indeed something it can withstand.

Yue spoke casually, but to Bai Ling, it was a terrifying experience.

The blue-eyed beast captured by the hunting team was enormous, measuring over ten meters in length and four or five meters in height. Its fur was a mix of yellow and white, and its ears were almost half the size of a white dragon. Although it was completely lifeless, standing next to it still sent shivers down one's spine.

Such a huge beast, even a person standing in front of it would appear tiny. Bai Ling couldn't even imagine how Yue approached it with the iron hammer and how she delivered a heavy blow to its leg.

If anything had gone wrong, he might not be able to see the moon now.

The mere thought of this possibility made Bai Ling's heart ache terribly. He reached out and tightly grasped Yue's hand, his eyes reddening: "Yue, don't be so reckless in the future."

In their moon-hunting career, hunting this blue-eyed beast was not even in the top ten most dangerous. The blue-eyed beast was injured and unable to move easily. It had a large iron knife in its hand, and the team had a large iron hammer that could deliver a fatal blow to wild beasts. They killed the blue-eyed beast without much effort.

But facing Bai Ling's eyes, which were filled with worry, lingering fear, and relief, Yue still nodded: "Yes, it won't happen again."

The injured tribesmen weren't seriously hurt, but they still needed to rest for a few days. The blue-eyed beasts they brought back needed to be processed quickly, as the weather was too hot and the meat would spoil in less than two days if it wasn't processed soon.

The orcs in the entire camp got busy. Cang directed everyone to butcher the blue-eyed beasts, start a fire, and make racks for smoking meat out of branches. Seeing that he couldn't help much, Bai Ling picked up an axe and went to chop firewood.

Such a large blue-eyed beast, the meat cut off will need to be marinated and smoked, which will definitely require a lot of firewood. The firewood in the camp is probably not enough, so we need to go and cut down a few more trees.

Seeing that Bai Ling was going to chop firewood, Wu quickly followed. He was very familiar with the environment and knew where to chop the most suitable firewood.
