For example, Jiujiu heard Qing Tong's nagging about how he turned from a little green snake to the guardian of the Fountain of Life.
Jiujiu then knew that Qing Tong was not a natural beastman. He was a very ordinary green snake that was caught and cooked by the beastmen. After being transformed by the Fountain of Life, he gradually became a beastman.
After becoming a beastman, Qing Tong received the inheritance of the Fountain of Life.
Qing Tong then understood that it was not a coincidence that he became a beastman. It was the choice of the previous guardian of the Fountain of Life. He also understood his duty, which was to protect the Fountain of Life and all the beastmen in the forest until he found the next guardian.
Of course, the Fountain of Life was so perfect that it naturally had a taboo. The taboo of the Fountain of Life was that it could not be given to beastmen who were injured from killing each other.
This was because beastmen who killed each other despised the existence of the Beast God. Since you did not respect the Beast God, you naturally would not be able to receive the Beast God's blessing.
Moreover, Qing Tong also told Jiujiu something very unbelievable. The guardian of the Fountain of Life could not be killed before the next successor was found. The Fountain of Life was not immovable. It could appear and disappear at any time according to the will of the guardian.
When Jiujiu heard Qing Tong say that the guardian of the Fountain of Life could not be killed, she instantly thought of the Fountain of Life that disappeared with Qing Tong before the cat died. Thinking about it, Qing Tong was not dead. The disappearance of the Fountain of Life was probably because of Qing Tong.
Jiujiu felt that it was not that Qing Tong did not save Little Nine when it was in danger. It was just that he could not save Little Nine at that time.
Moreover, Qing Tong definitely did not expect that there would be someone who would kill the obedient and sensible Little Nine and swallow it.
Jiujiu looked up at Qing Tong who was picking fruits for her. Jiujiu squinted her eyes and made a happy gurgling sound.
After Qing Tong was done picking the fruits, she led Jiujiu to another path.
Qing Tong ran for a full two to three hours before they reached the edge of a cliff.
Looking at the bottomless cliff, Qingtong first placed Jiujiu on the ground before transforming into her beast form.
Her vertical pupils, which were supposed to be cold, were filled with warmth when she looked at Jiujiu. Qingtong lowered her head gently, carefully held Jiujiu in her mouth and rushed down the cliff.
Jiujiu lay on top of Qingtong's soft tongue and looked outside through the gap between Qingtong's teeth.
Qing Tong swam down like a bolt of lightning. After about ten seconds, Qing Tong suddenly wrapped around a tree that grew out of the cliff and went into the cave beside the tree.
The cave was as tall as two people. It was clean and warm inside, exuding the fresh scent of vegetation.
With the arrival of Qing Tong, the Spring of Life also appeared in the cave.
Qingtong opened her mouth and waited for Jiujiu to walk to the ground before she transformed into her human form.
After transforming into her human form, Qing Tong immediately bent down to carry Jiujiu into her arms and strode into the cave.
This was his real residence.
He was the guardian of the Spring of Life, which meant that he was destined to be extraordinary. He could never stay in the tribe like an ordinary orc. He was like a lone ranger, always alone until he found the next guardian.
However, now that he had Jiujiu's company, he was no longer alone.
Thinking of this, Qingtong lowered her head and looked at Jiujiu who was looking around curiously. The corner of her mouth curled up, revealing a very faint smile.
The cave was very big. Qingtong carved out three small rooms in the cave, one bedroom, one storage room and one kitchen.
The bedroom was where Qingtong rested. The kitchen was naturally used for cooking. However, the orcs' diet was relatively simple. The so-called cooking was just barbecued meat.
As for the storage room, it was where they stored their winter food.
The rainy season here was very long, but so was the winter. There was even a winter that lasted for more than five months.
Before the arrival of winter, fruits would fall from the branches and rot into mud. The animals that were the orcs' staple food would enter hibernation that lasted for months.
Even if there were animals that hadn't entered hibernation, those animals were basically huge in size and extremely powerful in attack. Even the powerful orcs couldn't guarantee that they would be able to kill all of those animals completely.
Moreover, the winter was simply too cold. Even the orcs with strong bodies couldn't endure the bone-chilling winds and icy snowflakes to hunt in such cold weather.
The orcs could not hunt in winter, so naturally they could not obtain food. Therefore, they needed to store their winter food in advance. The rainy season was the best time for them to store food.
Qing Tong was the guardian of the Spring of Life. Although he did not die, he would still taste the taste of hunger. Therefore, Qing Tong would also create a storage room like the orcs to store food for winter.
However, the difference between Qing Tong and the orcs was that he had the Spring of Life.
The Spring of Life was like a natural preservative. As long as the meat of the animals was dipped in the Spring of Life, it would be fixed in its original state forever. Therefore, unlike the orcs who liked to store food at the end of the rainy season, Qing Tong, who was not afraid that the meat of the animals would spoil, liked to hunt the animals that only ended when the rainy season ended.
Other than the fact that the meat of the small animals was more tender at the beginning of the rainy season, there was also the reason why he did not want to meet the orcs from the tribes.
After all, once he interacted with the orcs, there would be fetters. And for someone like him who was almost immortal, he was most afraid of fetters.
After placing Jiujiu in the cave, Qing Tong whispered a few words to Jiujiu before he transformed into his beast form and went hunting.
After Qing Tong left, Jiujiu walked elegantly towards the Spring of Life.
Although she was now a cat and could stay by Qing Tong's side, Jiujiu knew that she had to transform into her human form if she wanted to save Qing Tong's life completely.
And the Spring of Life was the key for her to transform into her human form.
Jiujiu jumped onto the stone brick of the Spring of Life and drank the spring water in big mouthfuls.
After the spring water from the Spring of Life entered Jiujiu's stomach, it turned into wisps of spiritual energy and spread throughout Jiujiu's limbs.
When she could no longer drink, Jiujiu then jumped down from the platform shakily and jumped onto the stone bed leisurely to absorb the spiritual energy from the Spring of Life.
For more than a month, Qing Tong went to bed early and returned late every day to store food for the coming winter. And Jiujiu would drink the spring water from the Spring of Life every day after Qing Tong left.
After drinking from the Spring of Life for more than a month, Jiujiu suddenly felt her body heat up one night and then fainted.
The moment Jiujiu fainted, Qingtong climbed up from the bed with extreme vigilance. Then, she saw a shocking scene.
