An Unfamiliar Jiujiu

Jian Mo thought for a moment, "It seems like we have that where we're from too, the kind where people 'live wherever the water and grass are'?"

Wu Jiong: "It should be. They're quite different from us."

Jian Mo: "Then let's also keep the Jointed Scorpion Bug, so they don't get stung when they go back to their cave."

Jian Mo removed the Jointed Scorpion Bug, suspecting that the people of the Forest Rock Tribe were simply too lazy to move, so if animal hides were covered in worm droppings, they would boil them as well, eventually accidentally creating a special glue formula.

They spent the day collecting insect droppings on the grassland.

After collecting the items, they didn't go back to disturb the people of the Forest Rock Tribe, but instead rode the Jiujiu directly back to the tribe.

Following the method taught by the Forest Rock Tribe, Jian Mo boiled insect excrement and animal hide together. The resulting glue was indeed similar to that produced by the Forest Rock Tribe, and it could be used to stick things together very firmly.

He replaced the animal hide with fish maw, boiled it, and the resulting fish maw glue was even better than the animal hide glue.

It took a lot of time and effort, especially the process of pounding the fish bladder and worm excrement. The two of them took turns pounding, and Jian Mo's hands were still swollen from pounding.

Jian Mo collected two large bags of fish maw glue and animal hide glue, and said to Wu Jiong, "Shall we take this bag of glue to the Forest Rock Tribe? Making glue is so troublesome, I don't think they'd bother with it. They'd probably prefer the finished glue."

Wu Jiong: "Then let's make another trip."

Jian Mo: "We'll collect some insect droppings on the way back."

Wu Jiong agreed, "Okay."

The two of them took Jiujiu on another trip.

The Forest Rock Tribe expressed their gratitude for the glue blocks and accepted the glue that they had sent from so far away.

The sub-orc, who was pushed forward to respond, said, "We have to use glue to repair our caves every year, otherwise it's uncomfortable to live in. With the glue you sent, we don't have to boil it in the fall."

Jian Mo smiled and said, "You're welcome. Thank you for sharing this secret recipe with us."

The orc grinned. "It's nothing, it's not important anyway."

Jian Mo: "They'd be very useful in our hands."

Orc: "Then you can use it. It's good that it can help you."

After saying a few words, the orc looked tired.

Jian Mo knew he didn't want to talk anymore, so she quickly said, "Then we'll go back first. I'm a witch doctor, so if you feel unwell, you can come to the Riverside Tribe to find me, and I'll do my best to help."

The orc nodded. "Alright. If it comes in handy."

The people of the Forest Rock Tribe were in such a peculiar state that Jian Mo felt it would be a sin to disturb them. After saying a few words, he quickly took his leave.

After collecting a bag of insect droppings, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong returned to the Riverside Tribe.

They returned to the tribe in the evening, when most of the tribe members had already returned.

The aroma of cooking smoke filled the entire tribe, and many people chatted in the open space.

The little ones were running around the village, playing a game of eagle catching chicks—a game taught to them by Jian Mo.

However, compared to the original version, this version includes both humanoid and animal-shaped cubs, with the animal-shaped cubs running especially fast, making the game much more challenging.

When Jiujiu saw the little ones playing, its eyes lit up, and it turned to tug at Jian Mo's clothes, chirping, "Jiujiu!"

This means it wants to play too.

We've already arrived at the tribe, so there's nothing for Jiujiu Chiu to do.

Jian Mo took the basket off its back and patted its rump. "Alright, go play now. Be careful, don't hurt the cubs or get injured yourself."

Jiujiu: "Chirp--"

Jiujiu started running on its two hind paws and quickly reached the group of cubs.

The cubs accepted Jiujiu well and enthusiastically let Jiujiu act as their eagle.

The chubby Jiujiu ran and flew, having a great time playing with the other cubs.

Jian Mo looked at the scene before her and felt a sense of relief.

The people in the tribe saw it too and found it amusing.

Ye Luo in the crowd, looked at Jiujiu, then at Jian Mo, and finally called out to Jian Mo, "Jian Mo, I have something to tell you."

Jian Mo walked over with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Ye Luo: "Jiujiu seems a bit off these past few days, keep a close eye on her."

Jian Mo has been busy making glue these past few days and hasn't really paid attention to Jiujiu's behavior. "Is something wrong?"

Ye Luo: "It seems like its food supply has suddenly become plentiful."

Chapter 112 Stranger's Cry

Jiujiu, actually it's just a vegetable chirp.

Timid, mild-mannered, with mediocre hunting and gathering skills.

Jian Mo and Wu Jiong had raised it for so long, and all they knew was that it would go to the Shangnan Canyon to forage for Pink-Tube Flower and to the alpine meadows southwest of the Riverside Tribe to forage for white umbrella mushrooms.

For omnivorous animals like Flying-Winged Beast, consuming large amounts of food is essential for maintaining their life functions.

Jiujiu's fixed hunting grounds are so small, there's definitely not enough food.

Jian Mo guessed that when she found it injured, it was so thin not only because it had fallen into the cave and couldn't go out to find food, but also because it usually ate one meal and went hungry.

Plenty of food is an unimaginable thing for Jiujiu.

Jian Mo Ye Luo, "What do you mean by 'plenty of food'?"

Ye Luo avoided Jiujiu and whispered, "Doesn't Jiujiu particularly like eating berries? A couple of days ago, I saw it bring back a bundle of thumb-sized fruit vines and slowly eat them outside its nest."

Jian Mo was startled. "I'll go back and check later. I really haven't noticed these past two days."

Ye Luo: "I hadn't noticed before. After seeing it eat thumb-sized fruit, I observed it closely and discovered that it brings food back to eat every day. After eating, it will also carry the vines and fruit shells to the river next to it to throw them away."

Jian Mo was incredulous. "It's so smart? It even knows how to destroy evidence."

Ye Luo nodded, about to say something.

Jian Mo thought about it and realized it was possible; Jiujiu always had a lot of tricks up her sleeve when it came to food.

Thinking of this, Jian Mo couldn't sit still any longer. "I'll go back and take a look."
