Orc Girl's Tribal Daily Life

Chapter 188, Part 6

By the way, Shou introduced the large black bird to Jiang Luoluo.

In the tribe, they are called "bone-eating birds." They feed mainly on the bones of various wild animals and are found near places with large numbers of animal carcasses.

Because the tribe often discards many bones that are not eaten, there are many of these bone-eating birds around Silver Peak Mountain. It is normal for them to be the first to be attracted here. Once they find that there are no bones for them to eat, they will naturally leave.

Although some members of the tribe would make bone needles or ornaments from the bones of their prey, most of the bones were actually discarded. Only a portion of the animal bones were kept because of their hardness or beauty.

The discarded animal bones were not simply left in the open; they were all dug up and buried to prevent them from attracting more wild animals like bone-eating birds and threatening the safety of the tribe.

While burying the bones is effective, the strong odor will attract other underground animals, such as hares, which will dig them up again.

However, in most cases, they will eat most of it themselves, leaving only scraps for birds and wild animals like bone-eating birds, so they don't pose much of a threat.

Moreover, the fact that they can steal bones from the ground to eat is clearly because they are weak and afraid, so the tribe has not considered any other way to deal with them.

After all, new methods of handling things often mean greater effort and higher costs.

Birds like the bone-eating bird specialize in eating bone fragments that are dug up from the ground.

Jiang Luoluo had assumed that the bone-eating bird was a scavenging bird, but to her surprise, Shou shook his head and denied her statement.

It is said that the bone-eating bird simply likes to eat bones, and its main food is actually a kind of very sturdy wood found in the Taz Forest.

Moreover, some members of the tribe have witnessed the bone-eating bird eating stones.

To be precise, it should be birds like bone-eating birds that prefer to eat "hard food".

Jiang Luoluo marveled at how tough the bone-eating bird's beak was.

Just as Shou had said, after the bone-eating bird came over, it wandered around for a long time but couldn't find a single bone fragment, and it showed a rather unhappy expression.

Finally, it pecked at the wood that was stuck in the ground a couple of times, and found that it was not as hard as the wood it liked, and showed a clear expression of disgust.

Finally, without a trace of regret, it turned and flew away, stirring up a strong wind.

Shou translated for Jiang Luoluo, "It doesn't really like the smell of this wood."

Jiang Luoluo paused for a moment. Actually, she didn't need someone to translate for her; she could figure it out herself.

After the bone-eating bird left, other birds were quickly attracted to it.

This time, Jiang Luoluo was not disappointed. Shou quickly used his skillful slingshot technique to knock the bird to the ground on the spot, before the bird could even swallow the grass seeds in its beak.

Then came the second one, the third one...

Jiang Luoluo also retracted her previous high regard for birds, which stemmed from her obvious fondness for the bone-eating bird.

It's unclear whether these birds are naturally bold and reckless, or whether they firmly believe that nothing in open ground can pose a threat to them.

His companion's body was right in front of him, and he hadn't even had a chance to take it away.

They charged forward relentlessly, only to be taken away by the guards hiding nearby.

After catching more than a dozen birds, Shou Cai's expression changed, and he stopped what he was doing.

Jiang Luoluo was a little curious and didn't understand why, given the favorable situation, the defender chose to stop.

Shou pointed to the pile of bird carcasses on the ground beside him and said, "We've shot too many birds here, and this pile is too obvious. If we continue, it might attract some big ones, and then it will be a case of more harm than good."

It's not that we can't deal with them, but if we attract those big guys, it could have a negative impact on the tribe.

They may not have noticed the tribe's existence before, but once they realize there is "food" in the tribe, they may harass the tribe from time to time.

So Shou chose to stop in time... Actually, Shou only intended to catch a few, but because Jiang Luoluo kept asking curious questions, he was so engrossed in answering them that he caught so many birds without realizing it.

Jiang Luoluo knew that Shou's choice had its reasons. Although she felt a little unsatisfied, she obediently got up to help.

Going towards the open area is a bit unsafe, but staying put and helping to tie up the prey shouldn't be a problem.

In addition, these birds only looked big, but they didn't actually weigh much, so it wasn't too much trouble for Jiang Luoluo to tie them up.
