Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 57 Flower Bear (Young Ge's Perspective)

At this time, young Ge... was really not doing too well.

He is on the run.

The story is quite complicated.

The hunting team, led by Chief Jing, had a very successful hunt in the first two days, so they went to the next stronghold two days earlier than originally planned.

According to the usual hunting process, the hunting team should still be at Outpost 3, but in reality, the hunting team has already arrived at Outpost 4.

According to the rule of leaving ten people at each stronghold, the hunting team was left with only sixty-odd members, but in reality, it was necessary to send another twenty tribesmen to be responsible for transporting the game back and forth.

As a result, only about forty orc warriors actually participated in the hunt, and young Gocha remained among them.

To maximize the hunting results, Chief Jing divided the forty men into two teams, maintaining a distance that allowed them to support each other at any time while also being able to hunt independently.

The team was led by a deer, and young Ge was also assigned to the deer's team—because of Ge's youth, he could transform into his beast one more time than other members of his tribe with the same amount of food, thus making up for the weakness of the other team.

The falcon, which had previously led a separate team, was assigned to the prey transport team—an equally important task, even more so than that of the hunting team.

After all, hunting a lot of prey is meaningless if it can't be delivered back to the tribe and is intercepted by other wild animals on the way.

Therefore, the task of transporting prey requires a powerful orc warrior to lead it.

...But I digress. Let's get back to young Ge. He followed the hunting party led by Lu and found a den of spotted bears.

The flower bear is a wild animal smaller than a black bear, with relatively mottled and fancy fur patterns. It also likes to play in environments with lots of flowers, so it is called a flower bear by the tribe.

Despite their size disadvantage, they were able to live in the more dangerous area around Outpost 4, even though the black bears were much larger. There must be another reason for this – the spotted bears are pack animals, often living in groups of dozens or even hundreds.

Although it is relatively small, the tarantula is no lighter than the black bear, and its body is more rounded and fluffy, and its defensive capabilities are several times greater than those of the black bear.

This also explains the two categories of wild beasts living deep within the Taz Forest: either they are individually stronger and larger, or they are large groups of people banding together.

Of course, not all tarantulas are perfect. While they have outstanding defensive capabilities, they lack offensive means. After all, tarantulas are herbivores and do not need to hunt other animals; they only need to protect themselves.

However, although the flower bear has few attack methods, it is still full of danger to the tribesmen who cannot easily transform into beasts.

Flower bears typically occupy a fairly large area covered with various flowering plants as their territory.

Whether it's their instinct or their intelligence, the flower bears possess a certain ability to "grow and cultivate flowers." In areas occupied by flower bear groups, various flowering plants grow more luxuriantly and uniformly, as if there were some kind of plan.

This lush sea of ​​flowers attracts a wild animal called the "drunken flower bee," which builds nests around the bear's territory, collects nectar, and makes honey, which is then stolen and eaten by the bear.

Don't mistake the Drunken Flower Bee for a harmless little insect; each one is the size of a tribal adult's fist, and its stinger contains a deadly venom that can kill instantly.

It's the kind of animal that most wild beasts in the Taz Forest would avoid.

Unfortunately, the flower bear's overly rounded body and strong defensive capabilities made the drunken flower bee no threat at all, and it could only let the flower bear steal the honey it had worked so hard to make.

...Perhaps the flower bear is so round and has specially enhanced its defensive capabilities in order to deal with the drunken flower bee.

However, the Drunken Flower Bees are not entirely helpless against the Flower Bears, as their name itself suggests—"Drunken."

Although the honey produced by the Drunken Flower Bee is not toxic, it contains a component that can make flower bears "drunk." Therefore, near the nests of the Drunken Flower Bee, you can often see various greedy flower bears that have passed out before they can get home.

Whether it was good luck or bad luck, the hunting party led by the deer stumbled upon a nest of drunken flower bees, and coincidentally, there were four or five flower bears lying there eating drunken honey.

Honey from the Drunken Flower Bee is highly intoxicating; usually, the bee will remain drunk for several days before waking up. It's like a windfall!

—If these flower bears weren't surrounded by thousands of menacing flower bees.

Well, while the honey from the Drunken Flower Bees can indeed intoxicate even the highly defensive bears, in some ways, their hostility towards the bears also serves as a form of protection for the bears after they become intoxicated, preventing other wild animals from approaching them.

This is like a pie falling from the sky, but only half of it has fallen; the pie is still floating in the air, refusing to come down.

As the deer hesitated between abandoning the readily available spotted bears and seeking other prey, or taking a gamble and rushing into the Drunken Flower Bees to snatch all the spotted bears out.

Young Ge suddenly spoke up and offered a good idea.

Drunken flower bees are creatures that love sweet nectar and are attracted by strong sweetness. The flowers that the flower bear grows, apart from some being food for the flower bear itself, are also there to attract these drunken flower bees.

“I have some fruit paste made by Luo here. It smells very sweet and might attract those drunken flower bees.” Young Ge took out two jars of jam from his animal skin backpack.

These days, young Ge was too embarrassed to eat alone, so he barely touched the jam, leaving a full jar and a half of jam left.

The nectar produced from the stamens of a mere plant can never compare in intensity to the sweetness of jam cooked in a large pot.

The plan was quickly approved by everyone after the team members tasted the jam.

The only disagreement arose over the objective of luring the Drunken Flower Bees; everyone was vying for this dangerous task.

In the end, it was the young man, Ge, who managed to secure the dangerous mission by relying on the jam he had provided.

So, after spreading jam all over a giant flower, young Ge carried it around the hive of the Drunken Flower Bees, unsurprisingly attracting the Drunken Flower Bees that were circling the flower bear.

It even attracted more than half of the drowsy bees from the hive.

With tens of thousands of Drunken Flower Bees by his side, the young Ge Shuiling began his thrilling escape journey.
