Generally speaking, Meng Yuqing is only responsible for coming up with ideas and then discussing the practicality with Xuan. He doesn't need to worry about the follow-up matters. Xuan and Xia will arrange everything properly.
He just needed to quietly be a technician, and this time was no exception. After Xuan proposed the idea of the tent, the tribe quickly arranged it.
The matter of catching aquatic wild animals in the river was also put on the agenda.
Learning matters cannot be neglected, especially Chinese. Before going out, Meng Yuqing wrote some commonly used words on the blackboard, marked with pinyin and some simple word groups. The entire blackboard was filled with words. She read it with them several times and then asked them to memorize it by themselves.
Then he wrote a hundred math problems on another board and asked them to practice them every day.
He then picked out two people who had learned pinyin best from the selected candidates, taught them individually for two days to pass the test, and asked them to lead everyone in reading new words every day.
After arranging everything, Yang Hexuan and Meng Yuqing led ten agile orcs and all the flying orcs to the frozen river outside the patrol area.
A tent was made using the existing materials in the tribe, and this time Meng Yuqing happened to bring it out.
Along the way, there were only the sounds of falling snow and the sound of people stepping on the snow. No trace of wild animals was seen, and even their own footprints would be covered by the snow after a while.
"We're here now. What should we do?" Yang led everyone to a flatter place by the river. Meng Yuqing got off Xuan's back and sank into the snow with one foot.
...
"Can you pull me out first?" Meng Yuqing supported himself on the snow with his hands and tried hard to lift his legs.
The moment Xuan saw that he was trapped, he turned into a human form. No one knew how he did it. Although he was in human form, his legs did not sink into the snow like Meng Yuqing.
With Xuan's help, Meng Yuqing came out of the snow, then lay flat on the ground, not daring to stand up for fear that he would fall into it again.
"You better stay on my back. I'll take you to the ice." Xuan changed back to animal form beside him, wrapped him up in his tail and put him on his back. "You command, we'll do it."
Thinking that he could hardly move in the snow that had not been cleared by the orcs, he did not force it and just lay obediently on Xuan's back.
"We need to dig a hole in the ice. The hole must be large enough for at least medium-sized beasts to pass through. Otherwise, even if the beasts come, we won't be able to catch them. We also need to choose a location in the middle where there are more beasts." As Meng Yuqing finished speaking, the flying orcs had already flown to the center of the river. Yang asked the other land orcs to stay on the shore first, and he walked towards the center of the river.
Xuan wanted to protect Meng Yuqing. He was the strongest here, so he went to the ice first to see the situation.
"Be careful when digging the ice hole. We don't have special tools. We must always pay attention to the ice under our feet to prevent it from breaking." Meng Yuqing said loudly as he watched Yang walk to the middle of the river.
Yang stood still on the ice and said a few words to the flying orcs around him. Then all the flying orcs left the ice and circled low above Yang.
After Yang turned around twice and chose a suitable place, he raised his claws, exposed his nails, and then slapped the ice surface hard.
Ice crystals flew everywhere, and traces of sharp objects appeared on the ice surface where he hit it.
Yang cautiously took two steps back, and when he felt that the ice under his feet was still solid, he continued to slap the ice in the direction of the original spot, his nails scraping off a string of ice flowers.
After hitting it for more than ten times, the ice was finally broken by Yang's nails, and the water surface could be seen. Then he used both claws to make the hole bigger and bigger.
The land orcs who were originally on the shore also walked onto the ice and came to Yang to help him continue to expand the ice cave.
As they walked over, Meng Yuqing saw that several of them were slipping. If they were not driving four-wheel drive, they would have fallen directly on the ice.
Xuan Ye took Meng Yuqing onto the ice. Learning from the lessons of the previous people, he did not slip on the ice and met up with everyone steadily.
After the ice cave they had dug was expanded to a diameter of about five meters, Yang told everyone to stop. Small beasts are generally about two meters long, and medium-sized beasts are generally no longer than five meters.
"The speed of excavating the ice surface is a bit slow." Yang Hexuan stood three meters away from the ice cave and looked at it.
"We need to dig a few more ice holes, and the distance between them cannot be too close." Meng Yuqing suggested.
"We can go dig a hole in the ice over there. We just tested the hardness of the ice. If we swoop down from the sky and dig with our mouths, it should be faster than what we are doing now." Lian said from about fifty meters in the sky. "This height should be enough."
"Well, you guys go and try it first. If it doesn't work, just go slowly and don't get hurt." Yang reminded them, recalling the feeling when he hit the ice.
After the breakthrough, he clearly felt that he had become much stronger, but he was not so sure about the strength of other tribesmen. He didn't know whether the things that he found easy would be difficult for his tribesmen to do.
"Got it. Let's take a few people over there first." Lian took most of the flying orcs away, leaving only three to guard here to prevent any accidents.
If the ice breaks, these flying orcs can rescue everyone else in time.
"There are wild beasts coming." Xuan took a few steps back, away from the ice cave. Meng Yuqing was still on his back. He couldn't fall into the water even if any of these people fell into the water.
The other land orcs around also retreated a little distance, and the flying orcs also increased their altitude, but Yang still stayed at the edge of the ice cave and watched the movements inside.
Meng Yuqing saw that Xuan and the orcs around him were moving their ears flexibly, probably listening to the movements under the ice. He also slowed down his breathing and listened carefully.
Unfortunately, he is not an orc and can't hear anything.
"Puff!" The sound of bubbles bursting.
Yang's body moved with the sound, and Meng Yuqing didn't even see clearly what he did. In a flash, a four-meter-long, slippery medium-sized beast was dragged onto the ice by Yang.
The beast was still struggling, its mouth wide open revealing rows of terrifying teeth, its tail swinging vigorously and hitting the ice, sending ice chips flying everywhere.
