Chapter 5 The Fury of the Wolves and the Expectations of the Gnoll Leader
In the canyon, an injured wolf was lying in front of a tall, gray-and-white wolf, making a whining sound.
This wolf is the leader of the wolf pack in this forest, and he is in charge of more than two hundred wolves.
"Ouch~"
After the injured wolf finished calling out, the gray-and-white leader wolf looked very angry, with hatred and cruelty flashing in its eyes, similar to those of the jackal leader, and it shouted loudly.
"Ouch!" After the wolf heard the sound in the distance, it was the voice of the leader calling them. The wolves who received the call shouted one after another. For a while, the shouts of wolves were everywhere in the surrounding woods.
The birds on the ancient trees were staying in their warm nests. When they heard the cries of the wolves, they stuck their heads out and looked down. The weather was so cold, what did those stupid wolves want to do?
After receiving the news, the wolves ran out of their territory and rushed towards the gathering place of the wolves, leaving footprints on the snow. Most of the wild beasts in the forest were hiding. Those wolves were very angry. If they dared to show up,
They are the first to be killed.
In a large canyon not far from the wolf clan, the jackals could hear the howls of wolves coming from the forest. They didn't pay much attention to them. On their way here, they heard too many such calls.
.
If the wolves came to kill them, they might be happier. Their food reserves are running low, and wolf meat is not delicious. Before they starve to death or it is not delicious, they choose not to taste it.
There are many useful things on wolves, such as wolf skins, wolf teeth, etc. When they came here, they knew that winter was very difficult, so they prepared a lot of winter skins, but it was still not enough. They took in too many wolves along the way.
tribesmen.
When they first set off, their team had only fifty-five people, including twenty women, five children, and thirty young adults. Now their team has grown to three hundred people, including one hundred and eighty women and children, and young adults.
One hundred and twenty in the prime of life.
Jackal women can also hunt, but in a warm climate, they will only cause trouble for them in such a cold winter. Women and children cannot hunt, so they rely on their 120 men to hunt. If the prey is abundant
, you can catch enough prey.
It's cold winter now, and this is also their third day into the forest. Before, they were walking on the grassland. The prey on the grassland was easy to hunt, but there were very few prey in the forest. Even if they wanted to hunt, they couldn't find it.
To fight.
After discovering the wolves, the leader decided to ambush the wolves. If the wolves dared to retaliate, they might get more flesh and blood and wolf skins. They had no worries about the wolves.
The snow in the canyon is not as serious as outside. Black fireworks rise into the sky, and the light from the fire warms the canyon. The jackal's camp is sunken into the bottom of the cliff of the canyon.
Several bonfires were burning brightly to drive away the cold surrounding them.
The little jackals were playing carefree by the fire. The best time in their lives is from two to six years old. After six years old, they will start to fight for survival.
When the jackal leader came back with six wolves, the little jackals smelled the smell of blood and became very excited. Every time they smelled the smell, they would get delicious meat.
When the women saw the six wolves, their faces became even more worried. The food they had stored was only enough for one month. It was only the first month of winter, and there were at least two months left!
Throwing the corpse of the wolf to the women, the warriors who had just returned from outside gathered around the fire. The wolf leader took out the rusty long sword, which was his most precious weapon. He got it from a human swordsman.
The things I took down were already rusty.
Hearing the howling of wolves outside, for some reason he thought, it would be great if those wolves came to look for them!
The screams of the wolf were coming one after another. Li Xiang stayed in the house safely. The wolf was brought back and handed over to Li Yi to deal with. Li Xiang was still thinking about the strange behavior of the wolf. The wolf seemed a little disabled.
When Li Yi handled the wolf, most of the bones on one side of the wolf were broken, and one leg was also broken. It was a bit difficult to handle, so he took out the internal organs and other things and put them away.
"Lord, this wolf's cry is a bit strange, it seems to be summoning wolves." Li Mu, who was grinding stones on the side, listened to the sounds of wolves outside. He could somewhat understand the cry of wolves. This wolf's cry seemed to be summoning.
Wolves.
Li Xiang was not surprised by the performance of his subordinates. After these farmers appeared, he found that these farmers knew a little bit about everything, could do anything, and could understand the howl of wolves. What did this mean? There was a sect in the empire called Taming.
The Beast Sect can tame all kinds of wild beasts, ferocious beasts, and monsters.
"Gathering the wolves" Li Xiang frowned: "Are they going to deal with us? No, we just killed two wolves. It's impossible to gather a large number of wolves to surround us just because of this."
Li Xiang thought about it and was a little worried. Anyway, he was idle now, so he might as well take this opportunity to dig a few holes in the surrounding area.
The place where they built the town center was beside a stream. Before the snow fell, there were green grass on both sides. The soil underneath was very soft, so it should be quite easy to dig!
"Are any of the tools you make capable of digging?"
Li Mu didn't know what Li Xiang wanted to do. He picked up the stone shovel fixed with a flat stone and said, "There is a stone shovel that can be used to dig soil!"
"How many handfuls"
"Ten handfuls!"
Li Mu and the others usually make tools for their own use, but they make more weapons and the like.
"Okay!" Li Xiang stood up and put on his shoes. The newly warmed shoes were very comfortable to wear: "You four take the shovels and let's dig some traps!"
"yes!"
The four people took out shovels without any hesitation, and Li Yi was left in the house to dispose of the wolf corpse.
Li Xiang felt that every time he stepped out of the snow, it was a challenge. When he opened the door to the room, the cold wind blew in. It was so biting and cold that it made people want to retreat into the room.
If the former Prime Minister Li might have returned to the house, he would have taken the first step. Regardless of the cold temperature, he took four farmers, who were also very cold and their bodies were shaking from time to time, to a place about 150 steps away from the house.
Under a big tree, Prime Minister Li wanted to cut down a tree here before, but when he saw the trees in this place, he gave up.
Every tree here is a big tree that can be hugged by four or five people, so we can only take people to further places to cut down trees.
The snow under the giant tree was not very deep. Li Xiang originally planned to dig outside the town center, but then he thought about it and decided to dig a hole here and put the internal organs of the two giant wolves on top.
The wolf should be more sensitive to the smell of the tribe than to them. If he comes over, one hundred and fifty steps away, this place is still within the monitoring range of the town center. He can see those wolves coming over.
The snow outside the town center is already a foot high. The snow continues to fall, and the town center is already covered by the snow. The only thing that will expose them now is the black smoke caused by the fire.
"dig!"
Pick up the shovel and sweep the snow off the ground first, and then dig out the soil underneath. It's not very hard and you can dig it out with a little force.
