The light in the tent was very dim, although the leather curtain had been lifted, the skylight on the top of the tent was also open, and the afternoon sun shone through the skylight on the top of the tent, and countless fine dust in the light of the column were flipping and wandering, making me feel so clearly that every time I breathed, I had to inhale thousands of dust and bacteria into my lungs, and I even had the urge to make myself a mask.The smell in the tent was pungent, and the small square table with the uncooled decoction was still placed, full of bitter medicinal smell.It was the woman who fed Raitu the broth that served it, and it is said that this woman was the fifth most favored wife of Raitu's side, although I don't think she was beautiful at all, even with a flat and large nose, the only thing that looked good was that she had big eyes, but her eyes were always a little sloppy, and I didn't feel the slightest look, and I doubted that the aesthetic views of the orcs and werewolves were the same as mine.This tent may not have been washed for many years, and the smell of the cowhide can still be clearly smelled after so long, mixed with the smell of sweat, the sour smell of men's feet, and all kinds of smells mixed together, which makes me feel a sense of déjà vu, ah!
It's very similar to the taste of Laotan sauerkraut beef noodles.The women of Laitu were sitting at the door of the tent, holding an awl with a hook in their hands and making a leather armor, and they were talking in a whisper, and I vaguely heard that it seemed that Laitu was going to let his youngest son join the hunting team, but he was a little young, I had seen the child, he was only as tall as me, he should be younger than me, and the women were always a little worried, but when they looked at me, it seemed that those opinions were shaken again.The orcs still uphold the ancient tradition, and women usually do household chores, take care of children, herd herds, gather herbs, and sew leather armor.The men were only responsible for going out to fight and fighting, so by now the men in the tribe who could carry weapons were almost dead, but the women and children were still alive.But we had to face a problem, which is the main reason why Lai Tu and Gribaschen brought the tribe to the wasteland, that is, the problem of food, Kuz can rely on his "survival instinct" to lead everyone to dig gerbils, hunt hares, pheasants and other small beasts, this seems to have solved the problem of food in the tribe, but in fact, we all have to cross the entire Yelian Mountains and return to our hometown.But if you leave this meadow and hunt enough food for more than 200 people in the mountains, it will be very difficult.Before crossing the mountain in front of us, the first thing we have to do is to bring enough food, just dig gerbils every day to store enough meat, even if we dig until the autumn can not save enough raw jerky, we must hunt some large animals, preferably those docile one-horned bison, as long as one can unload hundreds of catties of fresh meat, but the nearest one-horned bison herd has also migrated to the side of the wolf gorge, with us people will never dare to grab food from the wolf's mouth.The most in the wasteland is not a large herd of one-horned bison, but those demon antelopes that come and go like the wind, they can run faster than arrows, ordinary people in the wasteland sometimes see the demon antelope and even have to avoid it, otherwise they are unlucky to meet a certain male demon antelope in heat, the antelope horns that are so sharp that they can easily pierce any ordinary leather armor, and the taste of piercing a human body is not pleasant.Only some powerful fishing groups can catch those demon antelopes in the wasteland.Laitu's idea is very simple, he still wants to stay in the wasteland to make a living, because after all, there are no terrifying swamp zombies and red-faced bats here, and now this small tribe can do even if it returns to its hometown, only these women and children are left, and how can they have the ability to deal with those demonic beasts from the depths of the swamp, but it is better to live on the edge of the wasteland, relying on catching small beasts and digging wild vegetables, which is backed by Yelian Mountain and can live by the Ulutu River, which is a good place.But why has no tribe migrated to such a habitable place surrounded by mountains and rivers for so many years?
The answer is the wind wolf, the wind wolf in the wasteland is a very aggressive monster, they live in groups or alone, each wolf has a high IQ, and rarely makes the same mistakes in life, and the northern foothills of the wasteland are their world.If it weren't for the flood of zombies in the swamp at the edge of the Swamp of Death, and the orcs in the chaos of the cataclysm, the big tribe would not have been able to take care of itself and would not have been able to help a small tribe like Laitu, otherwise relying on the rich products on the edge of the Death Swamp alone would not have starved the tribe of Laitu, and at the worst they would have been able to rely on the potatoes in the Death Swamp to tide over the difficulties.Gribaschen and Kutz's views are not like this, old orcs like Gribaschen have a feeling of being unable to leave their homeland, he advocates returning to the swamp of death, and the monsters in those swamps will eventually be defeated by the brave warriors of the orcs, maybe it will be hard for a few months, maybe it won't take that long.The old orc's idea is that where to boil, isn't it all boiled?
And Kuz's idea is even simpler, he wants to take these women and children in the tribe and return to Gurudin Town first, compared to the large tribal gathering point of tens of thousands of people, accommodating these two hundred people is like a drop of water falling into a pond, according to Kuz's idea, you can stay in Gurudin Town and wait for those swamp monsters to disperse by themselves, or you can invite some demons who are willing to kill monsters to go, in short, all this can be patiently waited.A few days ago, the reckless decision of the leader of this small tribe, Laytu, led to the death of the last group of young orc warriors of the tribe in the Wild Wolf Gorge, and no one could escape safely.Whether you stay at the mouth of the Urutu River valley in the northern foothills, or go to the town of Gurudin, or return to the Death Swamp, it all needs to be based on plenty of food.Laitu was silent for a long time, obviously he also regretted it, originally brought the tribe to the northern foothills of the wasteland, because of the thought of spring hunting, a large number of people came to kill the demon antelope, casually following behind them, there are countless endless demon antelope meat, as long as you can carry it, no matter how much you want, but this time, Laitu brought women and children, and not very lucky, after staying in this wasteland for so many days, even the shadow of the demon antelope hunting group was not seen.Only then did the soldiers make a risky move, and took the last young warrior into the wasteland to hunt one-horned bison, originally on the luck was good, met a large group of one-horned bison, but the group of bison so immortal actually took them into the wolf gorge, it was really unlucky!
Raitu hesitated for a moment and said: "Otherwise, in a few days I can move, I will take some strong women and walk inside, maybe I can meet the adventure group of the demon antelope, they usually only take the demon antelope skin and the demon core in the skull, we can wait for them to leave, and bring back the raw meat made into raw meat jerky that they discarded, in the past disaster years, I remember that my grandfather did this." ”Gribaschen frowned, slowly shook his wrinkled head and said in a deep voice: "There are not only demon antelope hunters in the wasteland, but also many robbers, and sometimes you can't even tell which ones are the demon beast hunting team, which are robbers, or some people are both robbers and demon groups.It's too dangerous, and it's still with a group of women, Raitu, are you trying to put tender lamb into the tiger's mouth?
”"But the way we are now, how can we still have the ability to climb over Yelian Mountain, we can only stay here all day long digging wild vegetables to satisfy our stomachs."
Raitu said with some decadence, his pale face was even more ugly, as a tribal leader, it was his repeated wrong decisions that brought the tribe to the brink of destruction, if there was no good way to revive the tribe, the remaining women and children were just a piece of delicious fat in the eyes of other tribal leaders, and they would swallow it without hesitation.He would rather cross Yelian Mountain and come to the northern foot wasteland alone than move into Guruding Town, because he was afraid that a small tribe like himself would be swallowed up by another big tribe in such a crisis."
If we really don't meet the demon group, then let's kill some demon antelopes ourselves!"
Kutz said calmly.Gribaschin's cloudy eyes were originally half-squinted, but then he suddenly looked at Kuz with a wide open eye, and asked in surprise, "Can you catch up with those wind-like demon antelopes?"
”"Not yet!"
Kuz gave me one look, then said affirmatively to Raytu and Gribaschin, "But we have our own way of catching the Devil's Antelope." ”I interjected, "If it's just for meat, maybe we can try to beat those bison as well."
The flesh of a one-horned bison is worth at least twenty demon antelopes. ”Along the way, we try our best to control the number of catches, the reason is that the Yagui beast can not have an unlimited load, its physical strength is limited, originally our group of four people want to spend this grassland trip very easily, so we are equipped with a comfortable leather saddle, the four of us take the Yagui beast together, plus we brought a lot of luggage at the beginning of our trip, and even the iron pot and some necessary cooking utensils and tents, which made the Yagui beast have a very heavy burden, and then we hunted a few demon antelopes on the edge of the saltwater pond, Even killed a wind wolf, Qige took Caterina to collect all kinds of herbs in the wasteland all day long, because we needed a lot of moonshine ink and milky ink, at this time, we slowly found that there were more and more luggage, and most of the luggage was something we couldn't give up, and in the end we could only try to reduce the amount of dry food we carried.But now the situation is different, and I was still thinking about this question, that is, why Kuzi would not catch the demon antelope all over the mountains, but took the women and children of the tribe to dig gerbils and catch hares on the sand hills.I couldn't let go of these questions, so I asked Kuz, and the answer he gave me was only four words: survival instinct.Kuz wanted to teach these weak orcs some of the most basic survival instincts, how to survive in the wasteland on their own.
