MTL - I Have a System of Orcs-~ chapter 50
The time was spent in Daniel's daily rush to find the fur and blood of a hundred kinds of beasts for Xiao Ke, and when the first half of the hot month passed, Wei Changcheng received a series of bombings from Xiao Ke.
[Ding! This system allows hosts to disclose their relationship with Daniel, including Jeffrey and Peggy. ]
[Ding! The partner ceremony between the host and Daniel should be completed before the rainy season comes. ]
[Ding! The task of building a house is officially started, and the system will lead the host to complete this task, without rewards or penalties. Degree of Difficulty: Moderate. ]
[Ding! The herbal medicine system is activated. The host mainly helps physicians find herbs, and herbal tasks will be released randomly. ]
[Ding! The first task of the herbal medicine system: apprenticeship. Requirements: Learn medical skills under the guidance of Physician Vaughan from the eastern tribe. Time limit: one day. Mission Success Reward: Start the first Herb Finding mission. Mission failure penalty: the herbal medicine system is closed, and there is a long way to go to complete the ultimate mission of the system. ]
[Ding! Task: follow the hunt. Requirements: Accompanied by Daniel to go hunting for a day and witness the male hunting process. Time limit: three days. Rewards for Mission Success: None. Mission failure penalty: Daniel is injured. ]
Wei Changcheng slammed the table in front of him vigorously, Xiao Ke really went too far! Too much isn't it! That mission of apprenticeship, I just rejected Dr. Vaughan's request to accept me as an apprentice not long ago, and now I want to go to worship Dr. Vaughan as a teacher, how do you make Dr. Vaughn think of me like this! Then the rewards are even more excessive. After one task is completed, another task is started. Is this really a reward and not a punishment? And what is the ultimate mission of the system! How come I don't even know about the existence of this kind of thing! There is also the task of following the hunt, the reward for the success of the task is nothing, and the penalty for the failure of the task is to force yourself to complete this task!
So when Daniel came back, he saw the strong resentment emanating from Wei Changcheng.
"What's the matter?" Daniel was a little worried. Seeing Wei Changcheng's sad eyes looking up at him, a thought flashed across Daniel's mind, "Did Xiao Ke say something again?"
Wei Changcheng rushed over immediately: "Daniel, I will go hunting with you tomorrow."
"No!" Daniel refused Wei Changcheng's request without hesitation, "It's too dangerous outside, and you don't have the ability to protect yourself, so I can't take you there."
"I'm also a male!" Wei Changcheng said, "Besides, when I came back with you back then, I didn't think it was too dangerous after walking in the forest for so long."
"That's because I've gone through it before and found the safest path, and the places where males go hunting every day are almost all dangerous places in the forest. I can't take you on an adventure."
"If I can't go hunting with you, you will be injured. This is the punishment for mission failure."
Daniel was silent for two seconds: “Then let me get hurt, you can’t go.”
"Daniel!" Wei Changcheng gritted his teeth and shouted, "If you don't take me there, I'll let someone else take me there! Besides, I'll be fine with Xiao Ke here, but you, what do you mean? Injured? You can say that! I don't care, I have to go!"
Daniel feels a headache. Hunting is not fun. Even the males should not take it lightly when hunting. It is easy to provoke powerful ones, but even so, there are many injured males. Although Xiao Cheng is a male, he is a male who cannot transform. There is no way to protect himself. How can I let such Xiao Cheng follow him to hunt? ?
"Xiao Cheng, hunting is very dangerous, you really can't go." Daniel continued earnestly.
Wei Changcheng snorted coldly: "I have to go." If Wei Changcheng wanted to see the males hunting just out of curiosity, he would have given up now, but this time is different, if he doesn't go, it means that Daniel will Injured, it can even be said that this injury was brought to him by himself, how could he let this happen?
Wei Changcheng decided not to talk to Daniel about the matter, and he stood up: "I'll go to Dr. Vaughan."
"Why are you looking for a doctor? Are you injured?" Daniel thought that Wei Changcheng was injured, and he didn't care about what he just said to Wei Changcheng, so he quickly took Wei Changcheng's hand and looked for Wei Changcheng all over his body. Where did Cheng get hurt?
"I'm not injured." Wei Changcheng rolled his eyes, "I'm going to worship Dr. Vaughn as a teacher." He added, "The task issued by Xiao Ke."
Daniel frowned: "Doctors don't accept apprentices casually, and now Dr. Vaughan is still very young, and doctors generally only accept apprentices when they are old."
"Actually, Dr. Vaughan mentioned to me that he wanted to take me as an apprentice before, but I refused. This time, Xiao Ke issued this task, so I had to go to Dr. Vaughn. I hope I will propose it this time. He You can agree." Wei Changcheng raised his head and looked into Daniel's eyes seriously, "Daniel, every time Xiao Ke releases a task, no matter it is easy or difficult to complete, I will try my best to complete it, not because I can't afford the punishment of mission failure, but I think every mission released by Xiao Ke has its deep meaning. If I can't complete a mission, I will not only be punished by one mission, but many subsequent missions I can't afford to lose."
In the past, Wei Changcheng had only vaguely guessed about this point, but when he heard Xiao Ke's "ultimate task of the system", Wei Changcheng had almost confirmed his own thoughts. Although he doesn't know what the ultimate mission of this so-called system is, he believes that Xiao Ke will not harm him, not only will he not harm himself, but it must be towards him. After all, he and Xiao Ke are the closest, aren't they? What good is there in hurting yourself?
While Daniel was stunned by his words, Wei Changcheng walked out of the cave and went to Vaughan.
Vaughn is, oh, the herbs will not be dried at night, Vaughn is sorting out the herbs that have been dried during the day, I will go! Can you do something else besides herbal medicine, such as eating and sleeping, why are you sorting out herbal medicine every day! Thinking that he has to do this every day, Wei Changcheng feels that the future is bleak, can he really not be a doctor?
Vaughan was surprised by Wei Changcheng's background, put down his work, and led Wei Changcheng into the cave: "Xiao Wei, why are you here?"
"Ah, that's it." Wei Changcheng was very embarrassed. If Vaughn hadn't mentioned letting himself be his apprentice before, he would not be in such a big embarrassment now if he begged Vaughn to accept him as his apprentice. He had already rejected him. Now, but now he ran over bumpily and had to let others accept him as an apprentice, no matter how big his face is, this is not the case!
Vaughan saw Wei Changcheng's embarrassment, smiled, and said softly: "Xiao Wei, just tell me if you have something to do, don't be embarrassed."
"Well, last time, Doctor Vaughn, didn't you say you wanted to take me in as an apprentice?" Wei Changcheng's voice was comparable to the buzzing of mosquitoes.
However, Vaughan heard Wei Changcheng's words clearly, and he was overjoyed at the moment: "Xiao Wei, you agree? Great, then you can come to my place tomorrow."
Wei Changcheng froze, he didn't even hear the mission success prompt in his ear, racking his brains to think how to reject Dr. Vaughn: "Well, Dr. Vaughn..."
"Call me master."
Wei Changcheng choked: "That master, I have something to do tomorrow."
Vaughan can understand Wei Changcheng very well. After all, he has not noticed such a big change in the tribe, and knows that these changes are all because of Wei Changcheng, so he said: "Then come over the day after tomorrow."
"Um, I'm afraid it won't work the day after tomorrow." Wei Changcheng twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's Yanyue now, and I want to go out to see if there is any new food that can be planted. I can't do without me in the farmland, and recently I There is still one big thing to do, this matter can't be delayed any longer, it will be over when it is delayed until Yuyue."
Every time Wei Changcheng said a word, Vaughan's face turned black. Vaughn didn't know that Wei Changcheng was very busy, but now that Wei Changcheng is his apprentice, he can't be busy with his job as a doctor every day. Bar.
Wei Changcheng finally realized that he was going too far, and coughed twice: "Master, I actually know that many herbs can cure diseases. When I go out to find food, I can find some herbs for you." Vaughn Wei Changcheng's face looked better, and Wei Changcheng struck while the iron was hot, "Master, I really don't have time during the day, and you have seen it too, so, can I come here every night?"
Vaughn's face completely returned to normal, and he nodded: "Okay, I know you are very busy for the tribe every day, and I am very satisfied that you can come here every night."
Wei Changcheng also heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't expect this task to be completed so easily. Wei Changcheng didn't stay any longer and left Vaughn's house.
[Ding! Task: Search and collect ten kinds of herbs. Requirements: Collect ten known herbs from the Orc Continent, and the system will help the host identify them. Time limit: three days. Difficulty Level: Easy. Reward for mission success: The search function for herbs within a radius of one meter around the self. Punishment for mission failure: try medicine by yourself. ]
Wei Changcheng shivered, trying medicine on himself, it sounded terrible.
When Wei Changcheng returned to his cave, he was surprised to find that Daniel was still there. He thought Daniel would go back.
"Xiao Cheng, you can't leave my side tomorrow." Daniel said to Wei Changcheng very seriously when he saw Wei Changcheng coming back.
Did Daniel agree to go hunting tomorrow? Although a little surprised at how Daniel changed his mind, Wei Changcheng was still very happy to get Daniel's consent, and patted himself on the chest: "Don't worry, I will follow you closely tomorrow and will not leave a step .”
In order to welcome the hunting that came the next day, Wei Changcheng climbed into bed early to save himself from being unable to wake up tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, no matter how early Wei Changcheng went to bed, Wei Changcheng was still the same in the next morning. He didn't get up, but Daniel went into the cave and called Wei Changcheng himself.
Wei Changcheng, who was yawning all over the sky, followed Daniel out of the cave. Well, the males really worked hard. It was still dark, and there was only a glimmer of light that allowed Wei Changcheng to barely see the path under his feet. Daniel thoughtfully took Wei Changcheng's hand, and took Wei Changcheng's hand to walk to the large army.
Wei Changcheng was a little awkward, but he still didn't get rid of Daniel in the end. Anyway, the relationship between the two will be made public sooner or later. Now holding hands and appearing in front of everyone is considered as an inoculation for everyone in advance. But what makes Wei Changcheng a little strange is that everyone is not too surprised when they see him and Daniel appearing holding hands. How did Wei Changcheng know that the matter between him and Daniel is already a certainty in the eyes of everyone. Well, well, in fact, before Wei Changcheng agreed to Daniel, everyone already regarded the two of them as a couple. After all, Wei Changcheng sat on Daniel's beast and ran around.
Jeffrey looked at Wei Changcheng and Daniel approaching with an unfathomable expression. Daniel had already told him that Wei Changcheng was going hunting with them today, and he told the males just now, no? What surprised him was not that Wei Changcheng wanted to hunt with them, but that Daniel told him last night that he and Wei Changcheng were already together.
"Xiao Wei, you must pay attention to your safety when hunting today. I have put Daniel in charge of protecting you." Jeffrey said to Wei Changcheng with a smile.
Wei Changcheng nodded: "I know." In fact, Wei Changcheng didn't know that he was just a drag, with no force value at all, and he had to let Daniel protect himself.
When everyone arrived, Jeffrey gave an order, and the entire hunting team had already started to march outside the tribe. When they are completely outside the tribe, the males will turn into beasts, not only because the beasts are faster on the road, but also because the beasts are more vigilant and powerful.
Of course, it was impossible for Wei Changcheng to transform into a beast shape, so when Daniel transformed into a beast shape, Wei Changcheng climbed up naturally, twisted a few times, and found a comfortable position before giving up.
Daniel did not run to the front, but fell to a relatively rear position. If it was on weekdays, he must have run with Jeffrey at the front. The first warrior has never been afraid of any beasts, but That was normal, and now that he was carrying his prospective partner on his back, of course Daniel would not take the risk of running to the front. None of the males present had any objection to this, not only because Wei Changcheng had made great contributions to becoming a tribe, but more importantly, Wei Changcheng's identity was Daniel's quasi-mate. The importance of a partner is self-evident. No one will feel that it is a shameful thing to avoid danger because of protecting your partner. On the contrary, if you take your partner to take risks, you will be cast aside.
Wei Changcheng didn't know where the males were going, and he didn't know how far they had to go, but from the only sliver of light in the sky to the big day now, Wei Changcheng knew that the distance he traveled was definitely not close. Now the males are no longer running, but moving forward slowly while maintaining their animal shape.
After another half hour, there was a roar of tigers in front of him, and then Wei Changcheng saw the males in his sight quickly disperse. It didn't take much time for the males to form small groups. There are three to five males in each group.
"The target of hundreds of males acting together is too big. Every time we hunt together a group of several males, and come back to gather after catching enough food." Danielton paused, "There is still a distance between everyone. , after all, it’s too close to catch the prey.”
Wei Changcheng nodded and looked left and right: "Then where are your teammates?"
"I won't hunt today." Daniel settled on a direction and began to run forward, "I don't trust you, my only task today is to bring you back safely."
"Then where are we going now?" Wei Changcheng grabbed the fur on Daniel's back.
"Go to Elton and the others." Although Daniel didn't hunt today, he was alone after all, and it was better to stay with the males, so Daniel took Wei Changcheng to find Elton and the others, so that if he encountered a beast, he would Not so weak.
There are four people in Elton's first team, plus Daniel and Wei Chang who arrived later, there are six people. Unfortunately, one of these six people is powerless, and the other has strong combat power but can't fight. shot.
Except for Daniel and Elton Wei Changcheng, I don't know anyone in this group, but it's true, Wei Changcheng didn't know many people, right? At this time, no one will introduce Wei Changcheng to someone, and Wei Changcheng doesn't care.
Wei Changcheng sat on Daniel's beast, and Daniel walked behind the four of Elton. The first thing to hunt was to find the prey. After all, no matter how many prey there are in the forest, it is impossible to run around. There was silence all around, and Wei Changcheng also tried to breathe lightly so as not to disturb the hunting activities of several people.
But, is it too quiet?
Wei Changcheng has never hunted before, but he thinks, no matter how quiet the forest is, there should be some noise? For example, the chirping of birds, such as the chirping of insects, but in the current situation, Wei Changcheng felt that it was a bit too quiet. When did this start? Wei Changcheng fell into deep thought, thinking hard, well, it seems to be from the time when Daniel brought himself to find Elton.
Not only Wei Changcheng found something wrong, Daniel, Elton and others also found something wrong in the forest, and there was a wave of uneasiness in their hearts. Don't mention hunting at this time, it's better to be careful. Just now Some scattered five people are now slowly approaching each other, forming a circle with their backs facing each other, staring vigilantly at where they can see.
The atmosphere became solidified, Wei Changcheng's nervous palms were sweating, he swallowed without leaving a trace, and looked around, trying to find out what was wrong.
Several people did not move, but just stopped in place. The surrounding forest fell into silence, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves remained. After an unknown period of time, there seemed to be something more besides the sound of the wind blowing the leaves. The muscles of Daniel and the others were tense, and they didn't know what made the sound getting closer and closer to them.
"Squeak, squeak..."
Finally got it!
The moment Daniel and the others heard it clearly, their faces changed drastically, and Daniel growled, "Run!"
Daniel's response was not to fight, but to run. Although Wei Changcheng didn't know what was approaching them, but based on Daniel's reaction, Wei Changcheng also knew that it was absolutely impossible to be a kind person. But even though Daniel and the others tried their best to run, Wei Changcheng still heard the cry and they were getting closer and closer.
By the time the cry sounded behind him, only two or three minutes had passed, Wei Changcheng tightly grasped the hair on Daniel's back with both hands, his breathing was unavoidably short of breath due to nervousness, and made up his mind, Wei Changcheng Cheng still turned his head and looked behind him.
Seeing the beast behind him, Wei Changcheng's pupils shrank suddenly. That's right, that cry is actually very familiar. If the cry could be calmer and a little brighter, it would be like the cry of a little monkey, but the animal chasing them behind them would make a shriller and more sinister cry, which seems to belong to It is a kind of ape, about the size of a chimpanzee, with gray hair all over, and a surprisingly small head. What does not match it is the red eyes and a pair of white fangs that occupy one third of the entire face. The animal is very flexible. Climbing back and forth among the trees, the speed was even more frightening. Wei Changcheng saw the sharp black long nails of the animal with sharp eyes, and his face turned pale again. Wei Changcheng was not surprised if the nails scratched himself, Designation is not to please. What scares Wei Changcheng even more is that there are countless animals behind him, and there are several on almost every tree he can see.
"Daniel, do you have any way to call your companions?" Wei Changcheng leaned down and shouted next to Daniel's ear, "I can't run away, there are all those things behind me!"
Of course Daniel knew they couldn't run away, he just hated himself for why he brought Wei Changcheng here last night with a soft heart, now that Wei Changcheng is by his side, he can't settle down to fight at all, so Daniel is still too young and not stable enough .
"We're running towards the big army now. If there's no accident, the males have already rushed this way." Daniel also replied loudly.
Wei Changcheng stopped talking. He knew that every time Daniel said a word at this time, it would take extra effort. Wei Changcheng still turned his head to look at those disgusting animals. He couldn't do anything. Wei Changcheng really hates his own incompetence, if he can transform himself, if he has strong power, he can help Daniel bear some of the burden, right? In fact, Wei Changcheng couldn't do anything, he could only turn around and help Daniel keep an eye on these animals.
"Xiao Ke, do you have any way to deal with these creatures?" Wei Changcheng anxiously asked Xiao Ke in his heart while paying attention to the movement behind him, but what made Wei Changcheng desperate was that Xiao Ke didn't say a word, even if Wei Changcheng threatened to never give Xiao Ke any food and did not call Xiao Ke out.
Those ugly creatures had completely caught up with Daniel and the others, and there were also those animals on the tree in front of Daniel and the others. Wei Changcheng only felt that these creatures surrounded their group overwhelmingly.
Suddenly, Daniel and the others stopped abruptly, and Wei Changcheng almost fell off Daniel's body. After recovering, he realized the reason why Daniel and the others stopped. In front of them, there were many animals blocking the front. Wei Changcheng turned his head abruptly, and found that he was also surrounded behind him, and when he looked up, there were also on every tree.
"Squeak..."
"Squeak...cheep..."
No one surrounded Daniel with their backs back to back. They knew that there was no escape, and all they could do now was to face it head-on. As long as they could wait for the arrival of the large army, these black-faced monkeys would not be a problem.
Black-faced monkeys are carnivorous, fierce in nature, powerful in individual attacks, and live in groups ranging from tens to hundreds to thousands. Wherever they pass, all the wild beasts avoid them, and there are few opponents. It is one of the prey that males hate to encounter. It is nice to say that. For small tribes, black-faced monkeys are one of the beasts they are afraid of encountering. There have been small tribes that were almost killed by black-faced monkeys. things happen.
But now, Daniel and the others encountered so many black-faced monkeys. If no one came to rescue them, Daniel and the others would undoubtedly die.
The war is about to start.
