"Really? Dig it out and see if you can tell when it was left behind by the degree of decay." Xuan said as he jumped onto the huge rock in the middle, changed into human form and reached out to pull out something in the mud.
At this time, Li arrived with Lie and four other little orcs.
"What are you digging? Mu, nothing happened, right?" he said anxiously.
"Father, come and look at this. Can you tell that these are the food remains left over from a few days ago?" Mu Heya also turned into a human form, dragging the things he dug out of the mud with his hands and walked towards the dry shore.
Xuan changed back into beast form and jumped directly from the boulder to the land, constantly rubbing his claws.
"Let me see." Li walked over quickly, changed into human form, took the wreckage from Mu's hand and looked through it carefully.
"This... was at most two days ago!" Li raised his head suddenly, "Maybe it was even more recently."
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"This means that we have found the right direction and the distance between us and them has become closer?" Lie looked at Xuan excitedly.
"Yes, we are only two days away from them at most. They ate here, so there must be other traces. Let's look carefully to see which direction they left."
Xuan lowered his head and sniffed the nearby scent. "No wonder the scent we smell is always so faint and intermittent, and sometimes it even disappears completely."
He looked at the mud-covered wreckage. "They used the mud."
At this point, an expression of disgust emerged on his face, but he quickly restrained it and turned to look at everyone and said.
"Everyone, look carefully nearby for any other traces. Look everywhere, whether in trees, grass, mud or water."
Hearing Xuan's words, everyone nodded seriously, and without further ado, they each dispersed and chose a direction to begin searching for clues nearby.
"Xuan, Li, this way!"
Just as everyone scattered to look for traces, a hurried voice was heard.
Xuan heard the sound and looked over, only to see the elk orcs running towards them quickly.
"Mi, what did you find?"
Xuan trotted over to Mi's side.
"Over there, I found something." Mi pointed with his front hoof in the direction he ran from.
"Mi, have you found any trace?" Li heard the noise and ran over from not far away.
"These should be traces left by orcs." Mi said seriously.
"Let's go! Let's take a look." Xuan and Li looked at each other and signaled Mi to lead the way.
"Come with me."
After saying that, Mi turned and ran in the direction he came from.
The three of them ran for nearly ten minutes before Mi stopped and slowly walked to an inconspicuous tree, looking down at the grass at the roots of the tree.
"Here." Mi raised his front hoof and pointed at the tree roots.
Xuan Heli leaned over and looked carefully at the grass at the roots of the tree.
"Why are some of these grasses missing their tips?" Li asked in confusion.
"Has it been eaten?" Xuan looked at Mi. He was the only one among the three who would occasionally eat grass.
"Yes." Mi nodded in agreement, "In addition to meat, we deer beastmen also eat some grass, and this kind of grass is our favorite.
Many herbivorous wild animals also like this kind of grass. If they find it, they will definitely eat all the grass here.
But you see, the grass was eaten very discreetly, with only a little bit missing in each place. It was definitely done by orcs, and most likely roving orcs."
After hearing what Mi said, Xuan looked at him seriously, "So that's how it is. Fortunately you came out with us, otherwise if it were just us, we wouldn't have discovered this information at all."
Hearing Xuan's words, Mi was slightly stunned and moved his ears embarrassedly.
"And this." Mi raised his head and looked at the tree trunk.
"What is this again?" Xuan Heli asked at the same time.
"Traces of grinding." Mi looked at the two of them and explained seriously, "If a beast grinds its horns, it definitely won't leave such shallow marks, unless it discovered danger when it was grinding and fled immediately.
Moreover, the height of this mark is the same as the height of the horns usually polished by horned orcs. It must be that they were used to polishing their horns, but they held back.
The grazing tracks extend from here to there, so they are likely heading in that direction."
After saying that, Mi looked at the two of them with burning eyes.
"I think what Mi said makes sense. This must be the trace left by the wandering orcs. There are no orcs with horns in the Shuilin tribe.
The Stonehorn Tribe is also impossible. They are not on the same page as us, and if they want to taunt us, they can do so. There is no need to endure it.
If they are ordinary wandering orcs, they will also give priority to seeking shelter from the tribe."
After Li finished speaking, he turned to look at Xuan and asked for his opinion.
"I think so too. Let's send a message to the father beast first. I hope it's flying nearby. Two days ago, it was still a little far away from us. Let's continue tracking in this direction and leave a mark for them."
"Um!"
After making the decision, Xuan jumped directly onto the tallest tree nearby and climbed onto the highest branch he could reach. At this time, he was more than 60 meters above the ground.
After he stood on the tree, he looked up at the sky.
"roar------"
He roared as loudly as he could.
And this is the purest roar, without any meaning in it, no different from the roar of a wild beast.
However, as long as the orcs of the Qingshan tribe heard it, they could tell that it was Xuan's roar and not the roar of a wild beast.
Xuanzai used this method to tell them where he was.
The other five little orcs who were following Xuan's team stopped their actions the moment they heard the sound and ran towards Xuan's direction.
Why did Xuan suddenly roar like that? He must have received some news or something happened.
Just after Xuan roared, Li followed closely behind, roaring loudly from time to time.
This can create an illusion for wild beasts or orcs who do not belong to the Qingshan tribe.
These are two powerful beasts confronting and fighting each other.
Their voices traveled far away, and all the orcs of the Qingshan tribe who heard Xuan Heli's voice stopped moving at once. They all listened to their voices intently, carefully distinguishing their position and distance.
Those who were farther away also made the same roar as a response, and it could also convey information to the tribesmen who were farther away and could not hear the mysterious roar.
The most important thing is to convey the message to Fei.
. . . . . .
Xuan Heli's roar continued intermittently for nearly two hours.
The other five little orcs had already joined them and were moving forward in the direction discovered by Mi to look for more information to more accurately determine the direction in which the wandering orcs left.
Xuan Heli and his companions heard a lot of responses while conveying the information, and they stopped only after they were sure that most of the tribesmen should have known it.
Xuan jumped down from the tree. "Let's wait a little longer and see if Fei can make it. If he can't, I'll leave a mark for him on the top of the tree and let him follow the mark to find us."
"Okay." Li nodded.
