Chapter 110: A Breakthrough in the Orc Village
They managed to hunt more efficiently than usual and became closer to the orcs.
“A large group is coming.”
Previously, they had only dealt with a group of about ten beasts, but this time the situation was different. The ones that were forcing the barking were a group of violent apes.
"Mart and Pepin push down those who try to approach along the branches! Baojiaer and Gajika are responsible for knocking them down!"
Malte and Milum, a girl from the Mountain Island Cat Company, gave instructions. The girl called Pepin was from the White Cat Company. The boy Borgal, also from the White Cat Company, was waiting below. The other person was Gajika, a boy from the Yellow Longtail Cat Company.
"That's the turn."
"OK!"
Cham vocalized directions to Pepin nearby.
The violent ape that suddenly jumped down from the branch to attack was split into two by the flash of attack. Pepin was also injured and shot down, and changed the direction of advance by making the following group dodge. Waiting in front was Tulio's shield and Fino's firepower behind him.
By this time, Cham had already gotten used to fighting in the trees. Malte and Milum also worked well together to drive the Violent Ape into a desperate situation.
Fino swung the pole in his hand and turned it, signaling a readiness to launch, but the slightly delayed swarm suggested that it might be difficult to destroy them with a single magical attack.
The ape that rushed towards the shield suddenly changed its target and attacked the new prey that appeared from the side. The first three heads attacked together.
There were three consecutive dull sounds of hitting flesh, and some of the violent apes that were blown away crashed into tree trunks, while others bounced to the ground and stopped moving.
The new enemies equipped with bulky weapons brought enough impact to the remaining violent apes.
"Exploding fire ball!!"
Fino took the opportunity to release a red ball and hit them, causing a huge explosion. Most of them died in the explosion, and the remaining ones who were unable to move were also stopped by the orcs and Cham.
The orcs cheered for this great victory. Ye Kai and his team shook hands with the orcs, shared the victory, and left the jungle after collecting the body of the violent ape. This was an unprecedented victory, and there was no point in killing more people.

"Everyone gather around meow."
After leaving the dense forest for a distance, Malte gave the signal to gather. Everyone gathered and she began to speak.
"Give Ye Kai and the others something delicious to eat, meow."
“We?”
Malte took some yellow fruit out of his backpack and handed it to them.
“Where did you get that, Malte!?”
"I got a bunch from the warehouse myself, meow."
"No, that's wrong! Milum and the others will be angry."
Milum was blaming Malte for his prank, but these words did not reach Ye Kai's ears, but made him a little dazed.
(this…!)
Ye Kai cheered in his heart.
(Isn’t it just bananas!)
The fruit that looked familiar yet different looked like a banana to Ye Kai. Although it was not bent but stretched straight, the yellow color and the bunched appearance made it look like a banana.
"Mart, where did you get this? Did you buy it?"
"No, meow. They grow there. They're the fruit of the Nefs tree. It's a matter of course, meow."
Although Malte seemed to be blaming Ye Kai for not knowing these things, Ye Kai had no choice. Since he didn't know, he just didn't know. He could only ask her to teach him well.
“Where is the Nefs tree?”
"There are many places in the jungle where meows grow."
"Yes, there are large areas." Milum added. This information is what Ye Kai wanted to know the most.
"Okay, okay. Anyway, can you give me one?"
"Of course you can, meow. That's why I brought it, meow."
"Ah, but if you bring it out without permission, you might be blamed by the elders in the future. If you can..."
She added, looking somewhat guilty, “This is important. I will apologize to Lelem later.”
"No way..." Ye Kai picked up one and put it in his mouth, and the result surprised him even more. This fruit called Nefs is not the original fruit, but the triploid banana itself, which is widely loved on earth.
“Although I don’t understand the reason, it’s really amazing.”
"It's delicious, but it should be just an ordinary Neves, right?" said Tulio who was eating.
“Tulio, did you know this?”
“It is rarely presented as a tribute to the royal city. I tasted it once.”
"You obviously know such important information..., forget it, let's go back home. Quickly."
----------------
After returning to the village, Ye Kai immediately visited Lalem's home. There were many things that needed to be confirmed and discussed.
"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Lelem, what do you think of this?" he asked, taking out the Neves he had obtained earlier.
"Neves? Did Malte bring it?"
"It's a reward for her. Because Ye Kai and his team worked so hard in hunting."
“That decision is for Lelem to make. This is common property of the village.”
"I won't give the LilyLime to anyone! You must have eaten it secretly!"
“Who would do that? The only people who eat it are the pregnant women in the village.”
Ironically, through this conversation, Ye Kai understood how the township dealt with Naifs.
"Lelem, I apologize if I ate it without your permission. Please also be magnanimous and forgive Marte. This is a great contribution."
"I still don't quite understand. Ye Kai, what exactly are you talking about?" Because Ye Kai was too anxious, Lalem couldn't understand what he meant.
"About Neves' explanation..."
Naifs is a valuable common property to the Orc Country.
The Nefs colony in the dense forest is a secret of the villages. The Nefs there are very abundant and are a very important food. However, due to its high nutritional value, it is not only loved by orcs, but also by wild animals and monsters.
The orcs also wanted Naifus. But it was in the dense forest and too dangerous to be constantly monitored. So they could only patrol regularly and pick some ripe fruits.
Due to the fierce competition in this way, the harvest is limited. Therefore, Nevus is first distributed to pregnant orcs because they need more nutrition. Other than that, it can only be eaten when the harvest is large or on celebratory occasions.
“So, you also know that Neves has high nutritional value?”
"Yes, of course. So we can only control the number and give it to pregnant orcs, and the rest of the time we can only give it to the injured."
