Chapter 205 The Reason for Not Breaking the Shell
Chapter 205 The Reason for Not Breaking the Shell
A Ling stayed in the tribe completely, which was a welcome thing. Although her spirits had not been very good, at least her health had recovered under Mu Qingqing's careful care.
About a week later, the one-eyed wolf Yi returned to the tribe with his one-eyed little monkey and Hu Ze.
Langqi seemed to have returned to his own home. As soon as he entered the door, he asked Mo Yan to pour him a drink. Huze came to the tribe less often and was still wandering around outside.
Ever since he drank a drink called Coke at Mu Qingqing's place, Lang Yi has been thinking about it every day.
Mo Yan poured the drink, then calmly brought out a plate of freshly fried chicken from the kitchen.
Lang Yi couldn't take his eyes away immediately, and the little monkey also stared at him.
"Mom said fried chicken should be paired with Coke."
Lang Yi hummed vaguely, then quickly picked up a piece of crispy and fragrant fried chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.
The gravy was pink and so delicious that he almost wanted to swallow his tongue!
Mo Yan sat quietly aside with his chin propped up.
"Uncle Langyi, what have you been busy with these days?"
Lang Yi took the time to answer him while eating.
The weather was cold, and even the beastmen in the resource-rich City of Beasts could not withstand the biting chill, with people freezing to death almost every day.
So Lang Yi thought of how to make the kang. After getting Mu Qingqing's consent, he immediately ordered people to come and learn how to make a kang. After they learned it, they went back to teach others, and then ten people spread it to a hundred people. Gradually, most of the beastmen had kangs in their homes.
In fact, Lang Yi had thought of making a kang before the cold winter came, but the beastmen at that time were used to a good life and had no gratitude, so he was too lazy to care.
It was not until the female snake's revenge woke the beastmen up that Lang Yi began to deal with these matters.
This back and forth has wasted a lot of time.
"How have you been lately?" Lang Yi asked.
"I saw a lot of strange orcs appearing on the other side. Are they coming for you? Or what? Did you have any conflicts?"
Mo Yan held his cheek and shook his head, "Mother has plans to subdue them, but they seem to have taken some kind of powder. They have to take it once a month. If they don't take it, they will die..."
"So mother wants to wait for Uncle Hu Ze to come and see their situation before making any plans."
Lang Yi thought, "Where are they from?"
"Stone Vein Tribe."
Lang Yi was no stranger to this tribe. Many of the orcs doing business in Wanshou City came from there. It seemed that the Shimai Tribe was full of talented people.
Lang Yi asked in confusion as he caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure not far away.
"Is that A Ling? Why is she here? Where's Bao Sheng? Is he dead?"
When the incident between A Ling and Bao Sheng happened, Lang Yi was almost ready to leave Yihe.
Mo Yan said speechlessly: "Uncle Lang Yi, could you speak a little more gently?"
Lang Yi pursed his lips. He was used to dealing with those fools in Wanshou City and hadn't yet come back to his senses.
"My mother ran into Aunt Ling and the others by chance. Later, Aunt Ling fell ill, and Uncle Sheng found our house, so my mother went there. Later, Uncle Sheng probably hurt Aunt Ling, so my mother drove him away."
The wolf made an "oh" sound and burped. The little monkey also made a "squeak" sound and burped. The wolf and the monkey ate very happily.
"Where's your mother?"
Mo Yan thought for a moment and said truthfully, "In the greenhouse, the fruits that my mother planted are ripe..."
"What is fruit?" Lang Yi wondered.
As he was speaking, there was a noise at the door.
Mu Qingqing came back with her group of little ones.
Each of them held a large basket in their hands, which was filled with colorful fruits and had a fruity fragrance.
"You're back?" Mu Qingqing greeted Lang Yi naturally, "Have you finished dealing with everything? Where's Hu Ze?"
"He's outside. He probably knows about the orcs. Let's go take a look."
Mu Qingqing smiled and nodded, then went into the kitchen to wash the grapes, strawberries and other things.
Outside, Mo Xiao greeted Lang Yi with a rare friendly expression. Lang Yi was flattered, but he also happened to have something to say to Mo Xiao.
"Did you offend anyone outside?"
Mo Xiao looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Lang Yi lowered his head and laughed, "You asked the wrong person. I should have asked if you have offended anyone outside."
Although Lang Yi and Mo Xiao have known each other for a long time, this black snake has always been elusive and he couldn't find it. He occasionally encountered it in the wild a few times, and Mo Xiao was always fighting with others.
"What exactly do you want to ask?" Mo Xiao's little patience was almost exhausted.
Lang Yi glanced at Mu Qingqing in the kitchen and whispered, "Your fourth child was almost stolen from Hu Ze..."
Mo Xiao's calm face changed then.
Lang Yi quickly added, "Fortunately, we found it in time. I blocked the city gate and caught the man."
Speaking of this, Lang Yi still felt a lingering fear. This was the reason why he had to stay in Wanshou City for almost two weeks.
When he heard that Dan Lao Si had been found, Mo Xiao's slightly fluctuating face immediately turned calm again.
"It's one of your kind, also a black snake."
At this time, Mu Qingqing had finished washing the fruit and came out, and Lang Yi had also finished his last sentence.
"My name is Mo Yao."
After Mo Xiao heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank. In order to prevent Mu Qingqing from noticing his abnormality, he half-closed his eyes and restrained his expression.
Mu Qingqing placed a large bowl of fruit on the table.
“Try some fruit.”
The sweet smell stimulated the taste buds of several people. Mu Qingqing took a few strawberries and stuffed them into her mouth. They were sour and sweet, with a full mouthful of fruity aroma.
"Mom, what are you eating that smells so good?"
Mo Lin walked into the house sweating profusely. He had been in close contact with the orcs on the other side of the river recently and often learned fighting skills from them.
Following behind him was Hu Ze.
Hu Ze was in good spirits. He greeted a few people with a smile and then sat down without any hesitation.
Mu Qingqing couldn't wait to ask him about Dan Lao Si.
Hu Ze said while eating fruit.
"I used the poisonous snakes outside the city wall for experiments and developed a powder that stimulates the nerves of young snakes, urging them to break out of their shells. But this powder has no effect on your Egg Old Four."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qingqing deflated like a punctured ball.
She knew things wouldn't be that easy.
"Later, I found many legends about the black snake and the traces it left behind. I analyzed that the reason why your fourth egg didn't hatch was because of the bad environment."
Mu Qingqing looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Hu Ze picked up a few more grapes and put them into his mouth. The sweet juice made him squint his eyes uncontrollably.
"Your fourth brother is very powerful. He may be even more powerful than Mo Xiao."
After hearing this, Mo Xiao sneered disdainfully.
Hu Ze raised an eyebrow and continued.
"I understand that the stronger the black snake bloodline is, the more sensitive he is to the environment when he is in the shell. He can sense the degree of danger around him and decide whether to break out of the shell. In short, the current environment is not challenging for him, so he doesn't want to come out."
Mu Qingqing: "..."
