They were trapped in the cave by the black-beaked birds for three days. They fled in such a hurry that they couldn't even bring much food with them. They just took whatever they could grab when they were notified to evacuate.
After everyone hid in the cave, they found themselves blocked and unable to get out, nor could they hunt. The things they brought out could not even last half a day.
During these three days, the orcs have been trying to rush out to hunt and find a way to bring them back, but they can't get out at all. They can only rely on the twenty flying orcs to go out and fight the flock of black-beaked birds and catch a few.
In order to ensure that the flying orcs can fight, all the food is eaten by the flying orcs first. After all, they are the only ones who can catch the black-beaked birds.
But this is still not enough. They can clearly feel that they are becoming increasingly unable to cope.
The beast form consumes a lot of energy, and the black-beaked birds they caught could not replenish their physical strength at all. From the second day on, the sub-beasts stopped eating and left all the food for the flying orcs.
If the Qingshan tribe had not come to rescue them, they would have been trapped and died in the cave.
As soon as the people of Xiaoxi tribe arrived here, they immediately helped the people of Qingshan tribe to deal with the black-beaked birds, while Meng Yuqing took out several animal skin bags and began to collect the feathers of the black-beaked birds.
"Yuqing, why are you collecting their fur?" Qiu Ye walked over and asked.
"For making arrows. Doesn't our tribe rarely catch birds? This time we finally caught so many. We can collect them and make a lot of arrows." Meng Yuqing stood beside the orc who was plucking the feathers and stuffed the black-beaked bird feathers into the bag.
Hearing him say this, Qiu Ye immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "You are right, give me a bag and I will collect it too.
Lian, who had heard their conversation, came over and said to Meng Yuqing, "That's right. Collect all their feathers. You have no idea how much feathers the tribe plucked from me to make arrows. I have to catch so many birds every day. Look, I still have some feathers that haven't grown back. I plucked so many that I could hardly fly. Even so, it's still not enough. It's really too difficult."
As he spoke, Lian changed into a beast form and gestured to Meng Yuqing to look at the feathers on his body.
Meng Yuqing looked at Lian embarrassedly as he showed him the places where his feathers were plucked. He finally understood why Lian looked at him with such resentment before he left. Not only had his feathers been plucked, but he also had to be responsible for catching birds every day.
Seeing the situation here, Xuan walked over slowly, squeezed in between Meng Yuqing and the chain, raised his paw and pushed the chain aside. He turned his back to Meng Yuqing and bared his teeth at the chain.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll strip you naked."
After the chain was pushed away, it flapped its wings in dissatisfaction at Xuan, but in the end it did not dare to rush up and fight with Xuan.
Finally, he turned around and flew to stand next to Xia, then grinned at Xuan.
Xuan ignored him and turned to look at Meng Yuqing, but found that Meng Yuqing was still peeking at the chain. Parrots are really interesting animals.
Xuan adjusted his position without leaving any trace to block Meng Yuqing's sight.
Meng Yuqing looked up at Xuan with some confusion.
"These feathers can be put away." Xuan felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that a black-beaked bird had all its feathers plucked, so he immediately reminded Meng Yuqing.
Meng Yuqing immediately turned his head to look at the feathers piled on the side and stopped staring at the chain. He picked up the bag and went to put the feathers in.
Everyone worked quickly and soon they had dealt with most of the dead black-beaked birds. They even killed a few extra ones, so the people of the Creek Tribe, who had been hungry for two or three days, could finally have a full meal.
Meng Yuqing felt a little headache looking at the endless feathers. The feathers of the black-beaked bird were hard, and even the feathers on the belly were not soft, let alone down. They had no down at all. The idea of making down jackets could not be realized for the time being.
There were so many black-beaked birds that not all the feathers were taken away.
Lian felt reluctant to look at the remaining feathers. He really wanted to take all these feathers back to the tribe.
After finishing his meal, Xia looked at the bedraggled people of the Creek Tribe, thought for a moment, and said, "What are you going to do now?"
Ke sighed and said, "I don't know. Let's go back to the tribe and take a look."
After saying that, he looked at Xia with some apology, "Xia, I'm really sorry this time. We may not be able to trade. We ran away in such a hurry that all our things were left in the tribe. I guess they were all damaged by wild animals."
He didn't know which tribe Xia came from. He only knew that Xia's tribe was much stronger than his own, and they would come here every year to exchange things with them.
He knew very well that although it was called a trade, it was actually more of a help to them, otherwise how could their tribe exchange the things they gave for salt?
It’s not that their tribe hasn’t been to the market before, but every time they went there, the amount of salt they could exchange for was not as much as Xia and his tribe gave them. Gradually, they stopped going to the market and waited for Xia’s tribe to come and exchange things.
"Let's go with you to take a look." Xia stood up and flicked his tail, then continued, "We'll figure out a solution when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll take you there." After saying that, Ke also stood up and looked at his people, "Let's go back and take a look."
The leaders of the two tribes spoke, and everyone stood up. The sub-beasts also climbed onto the orcs' backs. The people of the Qingshan tribe carried all their things and followed the people of the Xiaoxi tribe towards their tribe.
The place where they were hiding was some distance away from their tribe's location, and it was already dark by the time they were within sight of the giant tree.
The sound of insects chirped, and Meng Yuqing lay on Xuan's back and looked at the unfamiliar environment around him.
The jungle here is denser than the forest near the Qingshan tribe, and the trees are also larger than those near the Qingshan tribe.
He saw many trees that were nearly a hundred meters tall, and most of the trees near the Qingshan tribe were around seventy meters tall.
The leafy tree where the Xiaoxi tribe lived was even bigger. Meng Yuqing could see from a distance that the tree was half a meter taller than the surrounding trees.
He looked up at the tree in shock. He couldn't see the top of the tree at all. It must be more than two hundred meters high.
The trunk of this tree is extremely thick and you can't see both sides at a glance.
"This tree is so big!" he couldn't help but exclaim.
Xuan also showed an expression of amazement when he saw the tree.
Lian cheered and flew over directly, landing on the tree.
Hearing Meng Yuqing's sigh, Ke smiled and looked at the leafy tree and said, "We flying orcs usually live in trees. Some places up there are very spacious, and we can build houses in addition to nests."
"Come here quickly, there are eggs here." Lian shouted from the tree, his voice a little shocked. "Didn't your tribe take your eggs with them when they fled?"
