The wolf was probably attracted by the aroma of the broth, but seeing how many people were there, it didn't dare to come over. It wanted to leave but was unwilling to do so, so it stayed there.
The man was so scared that he peed on his shoes. He crawled back and told Cang what happened.
Cang went out to take a look, and after confirming that everything was correct, he called out to everyone lying nearby.
"What happened?" Man probably didn't sleep well either, so he ran over.
Cang told him the situation again.
Man's face looked unhappy and he wanted to slap himself.
He had chosen this place to spend the night.
Thinking of the leeward side and safety, he chose a spot under a cliff. This place was circular, and the only exit was where the wolves were. Now they couldn't find a place to retreat from anywhere else.
Since we can't retreat, we have to find a solution.
They had encountered wolf packs before while hunting, usually a few or a dozen. During the cold winter, wolves would band together to forage, usually in groups of 20 or 30. But no one had ever seen a pack of 30 or 40, which was why they were so frightened.
Wolves are no different from other animals, especially hungry wolves in winter, whose fighting power is as strong as two. Although their hundred men have the advantage in numbers, the people of the Stone Tribe are not on the same page with them. It's good enough that they don't attack the people of the Valley Tribe from behind. Expecting them to work together with the Valley Tribe to fight the wolves is probably impossible.
In order to prevent the Stone Tribe and the wolves from attacking them from both sides, they had to send people from one tribe to guard the Stone Tribe captives. In this way, there would be even fewer people available to fight the wolves.
But if they let the Stone Tribe charge ahead, and waited until the Stone Tribe and the wolves were almost dead before moving forward to kill the wolves, then they would have no hope of winning over the Stone Tribe. It would be good enough if they didn't hate the Valley Tribe to the core, so how could they possibly integrate with them and become part of the Valley Tribe?
In the end, even if the people of the Stone Tribe did not die in the fight with the wolves, for the safety of the tribe, I am afraid they would have to be killed.
Man thought about it over and over again, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't come up with any good solution.
He had no choice but to look at Qiao Yu: "What should we do?"
Qiao Yu didn't show any panic on his face. He said calmly, "Wake up everyone."
Several people acted quickly and woke up those who were sleeping soundly.
When they heard that there were dozens of wolves, everyone, whose eyes were still half-closed, was frightened awake.
The people of the Stone Tribe were particularly nervous.
In such a situation, the Valley Tribe, unless they were completely mad, would never charge forward to fight the wolves themselves, leaving the outsiders to rest. They would definitely push them forward to fight, waiting until both the wolves and the pack were equally wounded before they would kill the wolves. This way, the Valley Tribe could achieve victory with minimal casualties.
The people of the Stone Tribe were desperate.
Although they had eaten well over the past two days, their bone knives and bone spurs had been confiscated by the people of the Valley Tribe. With their bare hands, whether they fought against the wolves or tried to resist the people of the Valley Tribe, they were destined to be abused.
"What should we do?" someone asked.
"Don't panic, let's wait and see." Dian said, "They want to increase the population, so they won't throw us out easily."
That's what he said, but he wasn't sure.
Man, Liushui and the three team leaders woke everyone up and returned to Qiao Yu.
Liu Shui asked, "Yu, what should we do next?"
"What should we do? Of course we have to fight them," Qiao Yu said. "These wolves are probably the same ones that bit the tiger. I was just looking for a chance to kill them, to prevent you from encountering them when you go up the mountain in spring. I didn't expect them to come to our doorstep."
She had looked for this group of wolves at that time, but maybe she was going in the wrong direction and never encountered them.
She turned her head and glanced at where the crowd was resting. She saw that everyone had stood up, but was still on standby and did not dare to run over to her to join the group.
While everyone was talking in low voices, their eyes were also vigilantly staring at the people of the Stone Tribe. Obviously, they also took into account the checks and balances between the Wolf Pack, the Stone Tribe, and the Valley Tribe.
She nodded with satisfaction.
The men of the valley tribe now know how to use their brains more when encountering problems.
"The captains of the first and third squads, call all the members over and have them bring their spears," Qiao Yu said. "The second squad will remain in place and guard the people of the Stone Tribe. Keep an eye on their movements. If they make any unusual movements, kill them on the spot."
"Yes." The three team leaders agreed in unison and ran over to communicate with their teammates.
The members of the first and third teams soon arrived beside Qiao Yu.
"Have you brought all your spears?" Qiao Yu asked everyone.
"We brought it." Everyone raised the spears in their hands and answered in unison.
After everyone agreed to Qiao Yu's question, their eyes suddenly lit up and they asked excitedly, "Yu, do you want us to practice with wolves?"
"That's right," Qiao Yu said. "Practicing on a straw man is ultimately inanimate. Only by trying it on a living creature can you know if you've mastered the technique."
"Okay, we want to try it." Everyone was excited.
When Qiao Yu shot Shuo dead, the men in the Valley Tribe were all jealous. Making a bow and arrow required skill, and Qiao Yu didn't have the time to stay in the tribe to help them make them. Even after they were done, they needed someone to guide them through practice.
On the other hand, the spear was much simpler. It was easy to make and simple to practice, so after the war with the Stone Tribe, Qiao Yu taught everyone the key points of making a spear, and everyone made spears.
During the time when Qiao Yu was looking for the address of the new tribe and Man took his men to the Giant Stone Tribe to pick up people, the twenty or so men who stayed in the tribe would run to the open space in front of the tribe to practice throwing spears as long as they had no guarding tasks.
A few days ago, while burning charcoal, Qiao Yu checked their training results and was surprised by the results. Everyone's accuracy and strength were pretty good.
Now that they have encountered a pack of wolves, Qiao Yu plans to give them some practice.
She had also analyzed the situation in her mind.
She had just counted the wolves; there were thirty-seven. Besides the thirty members of their two teams who remained in the tribe, including Man and Liushui, there were thirty-two in total.
The wolves outnumbered the people, and many of the people's throws were probably not accurate enough, nor strong enough. If they failed to kill the wolves immediately, and aroused their ferocity, everyone's situation would become even more dangerous.
In these situations, one person can solve the problem by throwing the bait multiple times. The problem lies in speed, not giving the wolves enough time to get close.
Qiao Yu's willingness to let everyone practice was also due to her confidence in her own abilities. With her by her side, she was confident that the wolves would never be able to get ahead of them with her spear.
If all else fails, she still has lightning powers. At worst, she could give up being a human and become a god instead!
