Chapter 147
As long as the movement outside the cave lasted, the tense atmosphere inside the cave lasted.
In order to block the entrance of the cave, the orcs of the Sunset Tribe used thick wooden boards, followed by large rocks, but they would not completely block the entrance of the cave with stones.
There were too many light beetles, and they took turns taking turns. Soon, the thick wooden boards used to block the entrances of some caves were chewed through by light beetles!
Then, the smaller light beetle was assigned to play, and began to drill into the cave from the gap between the stones behind the wooden board!
Fortunately, the orcs in the cave did not relax their vigilance just because they blocked the cave entrance.
Before the light beetle could completely pass through the gap, he separated the head and head of the light beetle with quick eyes and hands.
However, when the wooden boards were completely eaten and the light beetles found that there were not many gaps between the stones, more and more light beetles began to chew the soil again.
It was okay at first, there were only three or two light beetles trying to get in.
Gradually, as the soil at the entrance of the cave is constantly eaten away, the gap between the stone and the cave wall becomes wider and wider, and more and more light beetles burrow into the cave.
The male guarding the entrance of the cave began to feel a little overwhelmed.
The female and her cubs were already moved by the male into the food storage hole when the light beetle burrowed inside.
Although the food storage hole is not big, it is enough for them to hide.
After the female and her cubs entered the food storage cave, the male blocked the entrance of the food storage cave with the remaining stones in the cave, and then joined the team to eliminate the light beetles.
They have to kill the light beetles before they explode their poison sacs, otherwise, they will all die without fighting!
More and more light beetles are burrowing inside, and more and more light beetles are dying, but outside the cave, there are still countless bugs!
Looking at more and more light beetle corpses in the cave, an orc said with a serious face: "We have to get out!"
The other orcs in the cave only looked at each other when they heard this. , they all nodded in agreement with the proposal.
They probably have no chance to survive, but they can't let more light beetles enter the cave.
Otherwise, the female and cubs in the food storage hole will definitely be discovered.
Moreover, if they accidentally break the poison sac on the light beetle's body during the battle, they will only die in the cave.
A few orcs picked up wooden benches or other objects in the cave and temporarily blocked the gap. Then the remaining orcs stood side by side, with their palms resting on the big stone at the entrance of the cave.
"One, two, three!"
With a "boom", the boulder was violently pushed away, pushing away the light beetle blocking the entrance of the cave, and briefly clearing a path. The way out of the cave.
A dozen male orcs rushed out and rushed out of the cave in an instant.
Outside the cave, there were densely packed light beetles, with a large group surrounding almost all cave entrances.
In the tribal square in the distance, there are already more than twenty orcs transforming into beasts. Taking advantage of the orcs' advantage in the snow, they are frantically strangling the light beetles who are coming one after another.
The male orcs who just came out did not need to communicate, and ran directly to the tribe square to join the battle with their companions.
Maybe the "meat smell" in the square is getting stronger and stronger. Gradually, those light beetles that are still chewing on wood and earth begin to give up the "meat" that can be smelled but cannot be seen, and turn to Gather in the square.
The orcs who were still in the cave listened to the disappearing gnawing sounds outside and the rustling sounds that gradually faded away. They thought it was the light beetle "retreating from the difficulties", and they were secretly happy. .
It wasn't until they came out of the cave later that they realized there was no such thing as "retreating from difficulties". They were just a group of orcs who were not afraid of life and death for their fellow tribesmen.
Even if the sounds outside fade away, the orcs in the cave are still waiting quietly.
The male would approach the cave entrance from time to time and listen to the sounds outside, and he could still hear some faint sounds.
What is certain is that the light beetle left the cave entrance, but did not leave the vicinity of the tribe. No one dared to go out casually. Even though the tribe leader had said before that they could only go out after breakfast, everyone still insisted on trying to walk out of the cave again before dinner.
Of course, this is all a story for another day.
Now, there are about forty orcs in the square, trying their best to kill the enemy.
Every orc's body was covered with injuries, but everyone had a tacit understanding and did not moan in pain.
There were already several corpses of orcs lying in the snow.
There are too many light beetles.
Dozens versus thousands, what a huge difference.
Even though the light beetles are just insects, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the orcs, if they swarm together, even the beasts near the central plain will probably be difficult to resist.
Not to mention these ordinary orcs.
Heavy snow fell on the ground, turning the ground white.
But on the white ground, there were circles of dazzling bright red.
Until the last orc of the Sunset Tribe fell, the number of light beetles was reduced by one-third.
But the light beetle didn't seem to care.
One third less, but they still have thousands of companions.
When the last orc fell, a larger light beetle flew out.
It circled several times over the orc's corpse, making a special chirping sound as it flew.
Soon, the light beetles were in order, lining up in circles around the corpse.
After another half hour or so, the encirclement finally dispersed.
However, where is the slightest trace of a corpse on the ground? Not even a little bit of fur is visible.
Except for the dazzling bright red, there is nothing to prove that there were nearly fifty orc corpses lying in the snow just now.
Although I was not able to "eat and drink enough", fortunately I ate delicious meat, which made the light beetle very satisfied.
The satisfied light beetle did not even glance at the corpse of its companion lying in the snow. Then, under the leadership of the previous larger light beetle, it slowly flew away from the Sunset Tribe.
After the light beetle left, it continued to snow for three days and finally stopped.
In the sky, there is a faint trace of morning light.
The night is about to pass!
The entire Sunset Tribe shrouded in the faint morning light was so quiet that only the sound of leaves swaying in the wind was heard.
This day is the twenty-sixth day of the cold season and the seventeenth day of the snowy day. It is about to become a day that the orcs of the Sunset Tribe will never forget.
After leaving the Sunset Tribe, the light beetle continued to move toward the northeast.
After breakfast, the flying team of the Phaeton Tribe went out again to investigate the situation. But this time, the direction they were investigating was exactly where the Sunset Tribe was.
Although the alliance was discussed yesterday, everyone agreed to go to the Sunset Tribe to form an alliance.
But considering that several small tribes have disappeared on the Western Continent, and the tribal color dots cannot display the names of the tribes they represent.
So before forming an alliance, you must at least understand the current situation of the Sunset Tribe.
