"Dig another escape passage at the bottom of the pit. If there is any unexpected situation, you can retreat in time." Xuan said to the hedgehog orc at the bottom of the pit.
The big hedgehog moved, exposing his head and limbs to carefully observe the deep pit, then looked up and said, "Then let's dig a little deeper, and then dig a passage from the side to facilitate our exit."
"Well, you can handle things like digging holes on yourselves," Xuan said.
After deciding to dig the pit, the chief of the Yellowstone tribe sent many orcs to dig pits on the road that had to be passed. At the same time, he also took the people of Qingshan City to familiarize themselves with the road to prevent them from stepping on it by mistake.
The production of the wolf tooth slap was also underway. The Yellowstone tribe leader took Xuan to the site where the wolf tooth slap was being made. "When you mentioned this weapon, we remembered that some hedgehog orcs in the tribe had not lost their quills after changing them, and this time they just happened to come in handy."
The two men walked up to a finished wolf-tooth paddle, and Xuan squatted down to carefully look at the wolf-tooth paddle made by the Yellowstone tribe.
A lot of hedgehog orcs' thorns were densely nailed on the moderately sized wooden board. They all chose relatively short but very hard thorns.
Xuan reached out and touched it, then looked at his hand.
Just like that, the skin on the palm of his hand was broken. Although he was in human form now and his defense was not as high as his beast form, it was not something that could be pierced by just anything. If the weapons in Qingshan City had not been upgraded with iron, Xuan would have really envied the Yellowstone tribe for having hedgehog orcs.
After passing the quality inspection, the chief of the Huangshi tribe no longer took the people from Qingshan City for a stroll.
Time is running out, so they need to speed up the production of wolf tooth rackets and the setting of traps on all the necessary routes.
Although there are many hedgehog orcs in the Yellowstone tribe, not every pit can accommodate one.
After everyone picked and chose, they placed hedgehog orcs in some important positions, and then filled the other pits with the longer thorns that the hedgehog orcs had replaced.
We strive to ensure that as long as it falls, it will be pierced through.
After working all night, they had only completed half of the work. Another group of orcs came out from the Yellowstone tribe. They brought prepared food to the place where the wolf tooth bats were made.
The people of the Yellowstone tribe and the people of Qingshan City who had been digging traps all night were sitting there to rest.
After finishing the breakfast they brought, the people who came later took turns with those who had worked all night.
Xuan Ye brought the people from Qingshan City back to their temporary residence.
After finding a place with water, Xuan took a casual shower and went into the room to lie on the bed.
Meng Yuqing sat on the bed and asked, "How was last night?"
"It's okay. They're quick. The hedgehog orcs' quills are very convenient and save us a lot of trouble. We should be able to finish it today." Xuan reached out and pulled Meng Yuqing into his arms, hugging him like a pillow.
Meng Yuqing moved and found a comfortable position to lie down.
After a while, he felt Xuan's breathing become long and deep. He looked up and found that Xuan had fallen asleep.
Calculating the time, from Qingshan City to Huangshi Tribe, plus setting traps all night, Xuan and the orcs from Qingshan City who went out last night have not slept for three days and two nights.
Before nightfall, the Yellowstone Tribe sent someone to bring the news that all the traps in the patrol area had been completed. Except for the orcs participating in the battle, no one else should move around to avoid accidentally falling into the trap.
According to previous estimates, those who are planning to attack the Yellowstone tribe will arrive by tomorrow night at the latest.
Thinking of this, Meng Yuqing couldn't lie down any longer. He shrank back, twisted himself out of Xuan's arms, and pulled out the system to ask, "When will they arrive?"
The system didn't respond immediately, but remained silent for a moment. Then he noticed a large amount of energy was missing from his energy storage. "At their current rate of advance, they will reach the edge of the trap area by noon tomorrow."
Meng Yuqing frowned. "If we arrive at noon, they shouldn't start the attack in broad daylight. They usually attack in the middle of the night."
The system did not respond. It was only responsible for providing information. Rational analysis and finding solutions were not its concerns.
Just as Meng Yuqing was sitting on the carpet talking to himself, Xuan quietly walked behind him and hugged him.
"Fuck..." Meng Yuqing was frightened and raised his hand to elbow him.
It's the dead of night, pitch black and quiet, and suddenly someone approaches you from behind and hugs you before you hear any footsteps. It's really scary.
The moment he was hugged, Meng Yuqing thought of countless scenes of being killed from behind in horror movies he had seen. All his hairs stood up instantly, and he even thought of what to say in his dreams after he turned into a ghost.
"Hiss~" Xuan's voice came, and Meng Yuqing actually heard disbelief in such a simple "hiss~".
At this time, Meng Yuqing also realized that the person who attacked him from behind was Xuan, not those strange things.
He turned his head to look at Xuan, only to see that Xuan had already retreated a distance, grinning and touching his right cheek with his right hand.
Xuan really didn't expect this. It was just a simple hug, so why did he suddenly get beaten?
He was really caught off guard. He had just woken up and saw Meng Yuqing sitting on the ground muttering in a daze, so he just wanted to go over and hug her.
Even when he approached, he half-closed his eyes. When Meng Yuqing moved, he just thought that Meng Yuqing was going to turn around and give him a frontal hug. He didn't expect it to be an elbow attack. He didn't even think about dodging.
"What are you doing?" Meng Yuqing hurriedly leaned over and pulled away Xuan's right hand to check the condition on his face.
Xuan looked at Meng Yuqing's actions and said a little aggrievedly, "Why did you hit me?"
"If I don't hit you for scaring someone from behind in the middle of the night, who else should I hit?" Meng Yuqing touched Xuan's face. "Oh, it seems a little swollen."
"You really showed no mercy when you attacked me." Xuan touched his right cheek again, "Will the people over there also react to the pressure?"
???
"I can't see who's behind me, and I can't smell your scent. I'm just afraid it's something else," Meng Yuqing explained.
"But there are only two of us in this room." Xuan said puzzledly.
"It's scary when there are only two of us." Meng Yuqing leaned against Xuan, pulled a bed of animal skin to cover herself and Xuan, and whispered, "Think about it, there are only two of us in the room, and I was suddenly hugged, and it wasn't you who did it. Isn't that scary?"
"Ah? But there are only two of us. If I didn't do it, how could you be hugged?" Xuan still didn't quite understand.
"Oh, forget it, you don't understand." Meng Yuqing stood up and went to bed. The weather was already very cold. As soon as she left Xuan, she felt a hint of coolness after taking just two steps.
Although his mind told him that it was because of the weather, he was not able to control his fear of such things.
So he shrank back to Xuan's side and said, "I'll explain to you when we get back to Qingshan City."
After saying that, he stayed beside Xuan and refused to move another step.
Although Xuan didn't understand why, he still hugged him obediently.
