se, with two colleagues around, I feel very safe with Qi."Qiqi laughed and said.Seeing Lady Zhen's nimble swordplay just now, he knew that the two of them had likely been putting on a facade all along...The patriarch of the ape tribe was a white-haired old man, his face creased with the marks of time, also a symbol of wisdom. He still solemnly thanked Ripples and her party, then presented the ape tribe's specialty - wine.

Upon seeing it, Lian Yi's eyes lit up. This was a good thing; she hadn't smelled alcohol in ages. After he poured her a cup, she didn't hesitate and took a sip right away. She savored it carefully, feeling that it was very similar to "monkey wine".

In the cultivation world, there is a kind of spirit monkey that brews wine. The wine contains spiritual power, and the longer it is stored, the more mellow and pure its spiritual power becomes. It's a highly sought-after item among cultivators.

However, the leader of this group of spirits monkeys is very clever, keeping the good things well hidden. They only take out a few to exchange for some things they need, such as longevity pills.

Because spiritual monkeys can only cultivate to the sixth rank at most, and further cultivation is restricted by their bloodline, it's very difficult to break through. Therefore, they use the spiritual wine they brew to exchange for lifespan.

...and the reason why the Ripple Ancestor could associate with the Patriarch of the Linghou clan was because she possessed the Lei Linggen, and during the Linghou's tribulation, she could provide a certain level of protection. Of course, he wouldn't publicize these things, even that ungrateful disciple remained oblivious.

With a slight tremor in her hand, she put down the wine glass and then smiled as she said:

"This is a good thing, but there are some impurities inside. I can tell you a distillation method to make this liquor more mellow. You can pick the flowers that bloom in warm seasons and make some flower wine."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Even though the chief didn't understand what distillation was, he knew the divine being wanted them to improve their "worry-free water" skills. He felt happier and waved his hand for the tribe members to bring all kinds of plants they could find from their territory. There were many things brought over, a wide variety of everything imaginable.

"Divine Messenger, the Oracle has told us that you have eyes that are keen and insightful, able to discern the purpose of anything you look upon. We hope that Divine Messenger, you will lend your sight to our needs."

Gen smiled broadly and said.

"That's too kind of you. But discovering new food to keep the orcs from starving, that is indeed my mission as bestowed upon me by the Beast God."

Ripple said bluntly, even if she claimed to be nothing now, the orcs probably wouldn't believe her.

Immediately, the ripples carefully identified each of these things. Some were harvested this year, while others were unknown how long they had been stored and their original appearance was lost.

The chieftain of the monkey tribe only wanted to bring everything for the divine messenger to see, just in case there was a discovery!

However, he really ran into the clan leader. Ripple recognized cinnamon bark, dried orange peel, star anise, and cardamom in those withered things. These were all spices that could be used as seasonings.

The root immediately smiled, feeling that he was still the one who had foresight.

What captivated Lian Ri the most was the unhusked rice and wheat. The Elder, somewhat surprised, said that these were collected by his youngest female during the harvest season. They had been arranged with flowers in a cracked clay pot and used to decorate their treehouse.

"Chieftain, your female has made a great contribution this time."

Ripple chuckled, and plucked a few yellowing stalks of wheat and rice. He shelled them, popped them into his mouth, chewed twice, then said:

These two things are both filling, and both males and females can eat them. They can also be used to make many dishes.

"What about these two things Should I go look for them now Can I still find them"

The tribal chief immediately asked.

Liàn Yī looked at the rice and wheat in her hands. Perhaps because of the Beast World Continent, these things were also enlarged proportionally, and perhaps their cold resistance was also enhanced.

"Clan leader, you could ask your female, where she was found. Now that the snow has melted, see if you can find some more."

“Okay, I'll arrange that right away.”

Immediately have Root send out scouts to have his female companions search the area where they found it.

"Will the next harvest festival be held by the sea Does the chieftain know"

The ripples spoke directly.

"I know about this. Wu told me that we had originally decided to participate in this grand assembly, and we had already started preparing for it. We didn't expect that in the last month of winter, we were targeted by the Forest Overseer."

The root also feels helpless, because the gods have spread new food sources and methods of preserving meat. This winter, their lives are not difficult, and even males do not need to starve to feed females and young.

It was precisely because of this that they were able to fight back when faced with the attack by the Forest Beasts. They only retreated again and again to protect the females and young, unwilling to see too many male orcs die in battle. Unfortunately, these Forest Beasts were ignorant and wanted to destroy their entire clan.

“This time it was my fault as chieftain. I wanted to protect the male orcs and avoid a confrontation with the Forest King. I thought that if they had food, they would leave. I underestimated the greed of the beasts. If I hadn't sought your help in time, the casualties among my tribe would have been much worse.”

At this point, there was a hint of bitterness in his tone.

Though ripples wouldn't judge the decisions of a clan leader, she still said:

"Wild beasts are wild beasts. Once they get a taste of sweetness in the ape tribe, they will come to your territory year after year like leeches, harassing you. If you retreat again and again, it will be you who suffers."

She only touched upon it.

"I understand, so while the god has you staying with our tribe, I'll take advantage of this. I'm going to lead our beastmen on a raid against Forest Fang! I want these beasts to know that from now on, they better steer clear of us Apes!"

The sound from the root was almost squeezed out of his teeth, it was clear this time he was really angry.

"Chieftain, even if we're to retaliate, we shouldn't act impulsively. It's best to devise a comprehensive plan. For example, what is the precise location of the Forest Kraken's lair How many are there Where is their escape route What about our own escape route after a successful raid All these factors must be taken into consideration."

"Thank you, divine being, for your guidance. We will certainly not act rashly."

The root readily agreed and nodded in response.

Ripple understood that as chieftain, Root had his own considerations, and there were conflicts between different beast tribes. Therefore, she didn't need to worry about this matter at all.

Then, the conversation shifted to the foods that can be made from rice and wheat.

After chatting for a while, Tuanzi slipped in to find Lianyi. He hadn't seen his mother for half the day. Although he was familiar with the little apes, his stomach growled and he still instinctively sought out his mother.

"It seems Lei is hungry, so I won't disturb the divine messenger. When he brings back the food, I will come and ask you to guide us on how to make it."

The clan leader smiled and proposed to take his leave.

After sending the ripples away, she chatted with Tuanzi over a meal, asking about his recent harvest. The two talked happily, big and small. The food was ready: grilled meat with corn cakes, and seaweed shrimp soup - a mix of meat and vegetables, both of their favorites.

At this time, Meng and Duo leaped onto the treehouse to find Lian'yi.ehold, Lin Yong. The young grandson, Lin Ze Fu, looked more like the steward than his own son.Lin Shangshu suppressed the doubts in his heart and asked Lianyi some questions sideways. Lianyi knew that...
