Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains - Chapter 177
In two months, the orcs of Qi Ze City had created a circle of siege crossbows for the entire ice wall, and four watchtowers were piled up with arrows dedicated to siege crossbows.
During this period of time, there were no traces of dragon activities in the vicinity, and I don’t know whether the group of hyena dragons that besieged the lion and wolf tribe had already swallowed the lion and wolf tribe or they were annihilated by the lion and wolf tribe? If it was the latter, the lion and wolf tribe should have sent news to the surrounding orc tribes.
Because there is no way to get the exact news of the Lion and Wolf Tribe, even though the weather is still calm here in Qize City, it does not dare to relax its vigilance. Two days ago, a newly formed patrol team was arranged to check the situation near the Chishui River. Many fishes that have grown fat and plump in winter have improved the food of the tribesmen, but there is no other harvest.
In the past two months, the Dora Plain seems to have returned to the silence of previous years. Except for the occasional wind blowing, there is no sound or trace of biological activity in the entire plain.
The patients in Chen Qi’s family moved out after they recovered. However, because of the relationship between the little orcs and the recent group of Hyena dragons that might attack in the tribe, Chen Qi moved himself. The home was turned into a temporary classroom, and all the underage children of the Luoshui tribe were taken over, and A Jing led them to enlighten them.
I don’t know if the children of the orcs are very good. Except for A Yao, the troublemaker, the other little orcs behave in a well-behaved manner even if they are young. When Ajing teaches them to learn words, they will be obedient to learn, and they will also be ready to eat. They will eat obediently. Some older people see those little orcs who are too small to eat with a spoon, and they will automatically feed them before eating. It can be said that these little orcs do not need people at all. Worrying, too cute.
Sometimes Chen Qi will stay these little orcs overnight. He is not at home during the day. At night, he will teach the little orcs to do some handicrafts and teach them to play some puzzle games like building blocks. I have to say these Little orcs accept new things much faster than those adults, which also strengthens Chen Qi’s determination to cultivate these little orcs. Sure enough, education needs to start from dolls.
On the wooden shelf by the window, the plants planted in the pottery plate have been replaced by another batch. The several wormwood trees that Chen Qi replanted before have already bloomed, and he did not pass all the remaining seeds at once. After planting, only a small part was taken, and the rest had to be planted in the yard in summer.
According to the growth of other potted plants, it is obvious that the plants grown indoors are not as good as those grown outdoors. Chen Qi was worried that the medicinal properties of wormwood would also change, so he only planted a few plates as backup.
Holding a soft and clean brush, Chen Qi artificially pollinated several plates of mugwort, and Aze picked the last few cabbages in the yard, although the cold winter slowed the growth of these plants. , but after all that time, the cabbage is still too old, but as long as the outermost layers are peeled off, the leaves inside are still crispy.
After finishing the family affairs, Chen Qi confessed a few words to the group of little orcs at home who were studying seriously, and then went out with Aze. Today they are going to the ice city wall to see the situation of the newly made catapult. .
The catapult is larger than the siege crossbow, so it was split and moved to the city wall. A large wooden box has already been placed next to it. The ice **** are naturally not as hard as stones, even if they are used to attack dragons. It can’t cause too much damage, at most it is to interfere with the actions of dragons.
When the two reached the city wall, the catapult had already been installed. A-Zhang was standing by listening to the explanation from the Luoshui tribe female who was mainly in charge of the production. The catapult was surrounded by A Chu and other females. They had helped to make it before. Ice hockey, I haven’t seen the power of catapults, and I’m curious about how this thing works.
Seeing Chen Qi and the two on the city wall, A Zhang smiled and beckoned to them, “I’m just waiting for you to come and try the effect of this catapult.”
Chen Qixian looked at the situation outside the city wall, and found that the city was calm as always before walking over, “I haven’t found any trace of the Hyena Dragon today, right?”
“No.” A-Zhang shook his head. For the past two months, he has been guarding the ice city wall every day, just worried that the Hyena Dragon will suddenly break in. He has encountered the incident of being trampled by the Hyena Dragon once. Tribe, he didn’t want to follow the path of the original Yanshan Tribe. “As long as it takes another half a month, it will be good, and summer will arrive in another half a month.”
Summer is here, and the hyena group will return to the depths of the forest.
“Bah!” With a dull voice not far away, a white ice hockey smashed onto the snow, splashing snowflakes all over the place.
“The distance is still too close.” Chen Qi observed the situation of the ice hockey landing and commented.
“Can it be adjusted again?” A Zhang asked.
“Yes.” Chen Qi nodded. This was the first trial use of the catapult. Chen Qi let Yehuo, who was standing beside him with a pen and paper, record the situation one by one, and then he would make adjustments based on the situation of today’s use. .
The main person responsible for making the catapult is a middle-aged female named Alu from the Luoshui tribe. Both he and his brother are very interested in this weapon, and they have shown a difference since they helped to make the siege crossbow. His talent quickly surpassed that of the beastmen in Qi Ze City who had been helping to make them before, so when Chen Qi was tinkering with the catapult, Chen Qi directly handed it over to them both.
This test did not smash all the hockey pucks in the wooden box. After only smashing two or three, the Alu brothers dismantled the catapult and moved it back to the studio for improvement. Before leaving, they did not forget to take the responsibility Yehuo, who recorded the problem, didn’t know how to read the text yet, and there was no time for them to learn slowly, so whether it was pictures or words, Yehuo needed to explain to them.
Seeing that the matter was over, the two tribal patriarchs, A Zhang and A Chu, continued to go back to guard. Except for going back at night to accompany their partner to have a meal or wash, they stayed on the city wall almost every day. Go to the city wall to find them, and leave the daily work arrangements in the tribe to Ali and A Xu.
“Let’s go back first.” Chen Qi pulled up the animal skin mask used to block the wind on his face. This kind of mask is not very breathable. It will be boring and uncomfortable. Usually, Chen Qi will not bring this thing during the short distance from home to school, but if he runs to the city wall and does not put on his mask, his face will be itchy and painful due to the cold wind in a short time. , that taste is not at all uncomfortable, even when A Zhang and the others are on the city wall, a layer of fur will be formed on their faces to keep out the cold.
“Wait.” Azer grabbed Chen Qi’s arm, preventing the other party from going back.
“What’s wrong?” Chen Qi looked back at him suspiciously.
A Ze’s ears moved, and his eyes were fixedly looking at the direction of Chishui River. After a long time, he suddenly picked up Chen Qi and ran to the watchtower on the front door.
In order not to destroy the traps outside the city, the test of the catapult was done at an angle, which is not a short distance away from the watchtower, but Aze’s speed was very fast, and Chen Qi was still in a daze when the other party was already Push open the heavy wooden door of the watchtower.
“The Hyena is here.”
A-Zhang, who was discussing matters with A-Chu in the room, was surprised when he heard what A-ZE, who had suddenly entered, looked at each other quickly, and the two hurriedly pushed open the door and went out. A female guard outside went back and told everyone to evacuate.
In order not to attract the attention of the hyena dragons, they did not use the wolf howls that they have been using as a signal to take refuge. Now most of the orcs stay in the school, and the others who are not in the school will gather in which house to work together, so It’s not a hassle to notify.
Several new holes have been dug in the cellar that was used for refuge before. Now half of the school playground is almost empty, and it can accommodate three or four hundred people. Entering the depths of the cellar, Ah Xu led the other females to the outermost ice city wall with weapons.
“Yehuo, go and count the number of people and see who hasn’t come in.” Ali handed Yehuo a pre-made list, and all the people with the names in it were going to take refuge in the cellar. After the explanation, Ali hurriedly lit the fire. The cellar was extremely cold and cold, and many orcs who came to hide did not have the ability to transform into beasts. The hides and food were brought in.
A Jing also brought the little orc over, and the little wolf cub was wrapped in a thick animal skin coat and hugged.
The females in the tribe moved very fast. When Carlo was directing the orcs to go deep into the cellar, they had already reached the city wall. The battlements could block the orcs, so even if they didn’t need to squat down, they could see from the outside. don’t see them.
“What’s the situation?” As soon as Ake got to the city wall, he leaned over and asked. There were still a lot of wood chips on his animal skins that had not been cleaned up in time. He was making new arrows with a few females at home just now.
Hearing Ake’s question is not only Chen Qi, but A Zhang and A Chu also turned their attention to A Ze, from A Ze said that there is a Hyena Dragon coming to all the females have been on the ice city wall to gather here. In a short period of time, no one other than Aze found signs of the arrival of the Hyena Dragon.
“Wait a minute, they’re slow.”
“Are they coming in our direction?” A Zhang asked with a serious face. He was someone who watched A Ze grow up. Naturally, he knew that A Ze’s eyes and ears were much more sensitive than ordinary females.
Aze nodded solemnly, “Yes, their moving direction has not changed.” It is impossible for the Hyena Dragon to find the existence of the orc tribe here, and a lot of fig juice was sprinkled around the tribe. There were also several fig trees nearby, and it was impossible for them to detect the smell of orcs.
But the group of hyena dragons seemed to have determined their target, and they came straight towards Qi Ze City. Aze distinguishes the faint chirping of the letter eagle mixed with the wind. Could it be discovered by the letter eagle? So why did you lead the Hyena Dragons to go this way?
