When Mrs. Hu and her party returned home, the three brothers of the Hu family had already entered the dense forest with the clan members.
The dense forest is the habitat of ferocious beasts, and there are also some wandering orcs who were expelled from the tribe and wander in the dense forest.
These wandering orcs have withstood the temper of nature, and their fighting power is several times stronger than ordinary orcs, so entering the dense forest means that they may encounter danger at any time.
Boss Xiong wanted to take care of them and arranged for the three brothers of the Hu family to walk in the center of the team.
Langqiao followed the three people.
Their destination this time was halfway up the mountain in a dense forest, where a wild beast called a yellow sheep often appeared.
The yellow sheep is large in size but weak in combat power, so it has become the target of hunting by many wild animals.
What the Fanshan tribe really has to deal with is not the yellow sheep, but the wild animals that may compete with them for the yellow sheep.
…
After arriving at the destination, Boss Xiong asked everyone to put everything they brought with them into the cave, and arranged for some tribesmen to dig traps and bury pointed wood in the traps, while the rest went to the nearby woods to look for water sources and prey.
.
This cave is their fixed habitat every time they come into the mountains.
The inside of the cave has been simply repaired, with stone beds and straw mats, but no food.
The prey caught today is their dinner.
The three brothers of the Hu family were assigned to dig a trap. They needed to use homemade stone tools to dig up the soil and then transport it to a farther place, otherwise the sensitive yellow sheep would find out the clues.
The first tiger and the second tiger each dug a deep pit, and the third tiger was responsible for transporting soil. The group was working in full swing when they saw some of their friends who had gone out to look for food running back first.
"Boss Xiong, it's bad, the mountain spring we used to draw water from has dried up."
"Are you sure you went to the right place?" Boss Xiong wiped the sweat from his head.
"It's absolutely true. We searched around and found that it's the right location."
"No water?" Boss Xiong touched his chin.
Orcs have rough skin and thick flesh, and generally have relatively strong resistance. If they don't drink water for two days and eat food for three days, there will be basically no effect.
But this is their limit. If they don't have water for more than three days, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to deal with ferocious beasts.
Old Xiong shouted, calling the orcs who were digging traps to stop.
"Everyone, please stop what you are doing and let's find a water source while it's still dark. If there really is no water source nearby, we will have to change places tomorrow."
The tribesmen were a little confused. They didn't expect that this trip would go so poorly. They put down their tools one after another and followed Boss Xiong.
The three brothers of the Hu family still walk together.
This time, in addition to looking for prey, their biggest task was to check the situation in the dense forest.
According to Boss Tiger's analysis, the number of prey and stray orcs in the dense forest is now much smaller than a few years ago. Back then, they and Madam Tiger were attacked by stray orcs shortly after entering the dense forest. Now it seems that this situation seems a bit...
Not quite normal.
"Brother Tiger, have you been here before?" asked Langqiao, who was walking together.
Since leaving the tribe, Langqiao has been following the three brothers, as if he was afraid that they would escape.
"I haven't been here before. We haven't left the tribe for a long time. Even if we had been here, we wouldn't have any impression." Boss Tiger said perfunctorily.
In fact, he was very familiar with this place, because when he was a child, Hu Xiao would take him with him every time he went hunting. Hu Xiao once said that as the eldest son of the Hu family, he must remember every hunting spot.
In the future, when Hu Xiao grows old, he will be able to lead his tribe to find enough food to satisfy their hunger.
After walking for half a day, they finally arrived at the original water source.
I don’t know why, but a spring that was once very big has now dried up.
Boss Xiong jumped down, dug up the rocks, and seemed to feel a little moisture, but he didn't see a drop of water.
"There should be a leak under the water source, and the water flows away from the ground." Hu Laosan analyzed.
Boss Xiong didn't believe it and insisted on digging a few more meters, but still no spring water came out.
"Damn it!" Mr. Xiong threw away the stone in his hand angrily, "It seems we can't live here anymore."
"Let's search nearby. There may be other water sources." However, Hu Lao did not agree with leaving.
"I can't find it. The other tribesmen have been looking for it for a long time, and no good news has come back yet."
"How will you know if you don't try?" Boss Tiger insisted, "We can't go to the next destination today anyway, so why not take advantage of this moment to look for it? If we find it, we won't have to leave."
Boss Tiger's words were too firm and naturally had an oppressive aura, so Boss Bear couldn't help but want to obey.
"Then do as you say. The four of us form a team. We should spread out and search again."
"Then I'd better team up with the three brothers from the Hu family." Langqiao said proactively.
"No, we brothers can work in groups of three." Boss Hu refused.
"But the three of you are not enough. If you encounter a beast..."
"We can handle it when we encounter a fierce beast. Besides, with your fighting power, we still have to protect you when we encounter a fierce beast." Boss Tiger told the truth without mercy.
In the end, it was Boss Xiong who came out to smooth things over: "Let's do this. I'll let Monkey Seven follow you, and Mr. Langqiao should follow me."
No one refused.
After Hou Qi walked to the three brothers of the Hu family, the tiger boss left the place without saying a word and took them to find the water source in his memory. This chapter has been completed!
