Chapter 148
The leader is Yingxiao.
Because they set off before dawn, it was just past midnight when the roaring eagles and beasts arrived over the Sunset Tribe.
If they had been earlier, they might have been able to see the light beetle leaving the retreating team.
Yingxiao and other beasts hovered over the Sunset Tribe for a long time, but found that there was no trace of an orc in the entire Sunset Tribe, not even the usual patrols.
After confirming that there was no danger nearby, the beasts landed on the Tribal Square of the Sunset Tribe.
Then, they discovered thousands of light beetle corpses lightly covered by white snow!
The light beetle is a terrifying insect that all orcs on the Beast Continent have been told about. Even if they have never seen it, they can recognize it as soon as they see it.
Yingxiao and several orcs separately checked around the Sunset Tribe and found that except for the corpses of the light beetles, the Sunset Tribe’s caves had a few cave entrances that were wide open and in a mess. The big wooden board sealed it tightly.
After a circle, there was no other discovery. The roaring eagle and the beasts didn't stay any longer and hurried back.
The light beetle appeared so suddenly that they had to return to the tribe quickly and tell the tribe leader and witch doctor about the situation.
The speed of the flying orcs is faster than that of ordinary orcs. When the beasts such as Yingxiao returned to the Phaeton tribe, it was still a long time before lunch time in the hot season.
It is still the witch doctor’s cave.
Su Yu found that she had left the cave a lot recently.
Enter the witch doctor's cave with Xia Na. After Su Yu got close to the charcoal basin, she was willing to take off the hat on her head and take off the outermost animal skin cloak.
After sitting down, Su Yu waited curiously to hear about today's big event. After all, judging from the number of orcs present, this was not a small matter!
She thought about many possibilities, but she never thought that today's "big event" would be related to the light beetle!
Yingxiao told everyone what he saw in the Sunset Tribe one by one, and the expressions of the orcs present became more and more serious.
"Unexpectedly, before the beast attack was completely over, the light beetle came out again. However, they are not in the water to the west, so what are they doing here in the forest?" The speaker was Mo Ye.
After he finished speaking, he frowned slightly and said, "Probably, the waters are also frozen."
Light beetles normally feed on animals in the water, so they rarely enter the forest.
In a cold season a long time ago, there were ten days more snow than before. Once, dozens of light beetles broke into the forest area.
It seems that after that time, records of light beetles began to appear in the Beast Continent.
The dozens of light beetles attacked several orc tribes near the water in the west, causing two small tribes with less than 200 orcs to disappear directly.
The power of visible light beetles.
This year's cold season is unusual. The snow comes much earlier than in previous years, and the temperature is also much lower than in previous years. The waters may be frozen.
As soon as the waters freeze, the light beetles’ food will be gone, so they will have to enter the forest to find food!
According to what Yingxiao and the others saw, there were thousands of light beetle corpses in the Sunset Tribe alone.
One can imagine how many light beetle teams entered the forest this time.
Obviously, other orcs should have thought of this too.
In addition, there was not a single orc corpse seen in the Sunset Tribe. But judging from the mess in several caves, many orcs must have been in trouble and became food for the light beetles.
After a full meal, the light beetle should continue to move in other directions and continue to look for food.
Now, the only thing the Phaeton Tribe is thankful for is that the next target of the light beetle will not be the Phaeton Tribe for the time being.
But even so, the Phaeton tribe cannot relax its vigilance. It is not known when the direction of the light beetle's advance will change.
After a while of silence in the cave, they began to discuss the next plan.
Finally, everyone agreed to send a team of fifty orcs to quickly rush to the Sunset Tribe.
While helping them repair, find an opportunity to discuss the alliance between the two tribes with Xiangshan and Domoti.
Yesterday I was still thinking about when would be the most appropriate time to propose an alliance.
But I didn’t expect that such an opportunity would come so quickly.
The beasts then confirmed the list of traveling orcs, and then planned to immediately notify the relevant orcs and set off immediately.
Before the beasts left, Su Yu spoke. "Auntie, I also want to go out with Shana."
The orcs who got up to leave, except for a few who were eager to go out to inform the orcs, many of the orcs stayed behind, and all of them She looked at Su Yu with a shocked face.
Xia Na is also one of them.
As the head of the family, the witch doctor represents everyone and asks the questions in their minds at this time.
"Xiao Yu'er, you... even if the snow stops now and we are traveling at high speed on the road, the cold wind hitting us is still uncomfortable. Why do you want to go with me?"
< br>Su Yu heard the words, organized her words, and said seriously: "Auntie, and everyone, I know that if I follow you out, it may become a drag. However, I still hope that everyone can agree after listening to what I have to say. Let’s go out together.”
Then, Su Yu explained to everyone the reason for going out together.
Firstly, the Sunset Tribe was not sure whether the witch doctor was safe or not, so she followed him there to be prepared.
Second, the light beetle has poison sacs on it. If the orcs who go to support accidentally break the poison sac, the consequences will be disastrous. With her in the team, she can solve such emergencies in time. .
Thirdly, the bodies of the light beetles and the poison sacs may have new uses in the coming days. Su Yu wants to follow and deal with as many light beetle bodies as possible.
Finally, as the heir of her witch doctor, it might be more appropriate to come forward to discuss an alliance with the Xiangshan tribe chief or Tama witch doctor.
Su Yu spoke sincerely, and the orcs standing in the cave listened carefully.
When Su Yu only mentioned the first two points, the witch doctor had already agreed with her idea in private.
After she explained all the reasons clearly, the witch doctor looked at Su Yu with a hint of respect in her eyes.
In the end, Su Yu naturally went out with her as she wished. But there was one more Lorraine who left together.
After the team heading to the Sunset Tribe gathered, they set off immediately without any delay.
Without any surprise, Su Yu lay on the back of the animal-shaped Xia Na. Her hands wearing animal skin gloves firmly grasped the circle of short hair on Xia Na's neck, and her whole body The person clung to Xia Na.
