Chapter 72: Strategy
Several people discussed for a long time but could not come up with a suitable result.
Finally, Elder Baishui grew tired of arguing and gave in. "How about this? We'll move the female and the cubs closer to the cave entrance. That way, if something uncontrollable happens, they can be moved in time."
After hearing this, Bai Yue sighed. This was all that could be done.
The temperature here in winter is really too low. If we really move the people in the tribe out, I'm afraid it will just be like what Elder Baishui said.
The female and her cubs would freeze to death before they could move a few meters.
They are too weak.
But even so, Bai Yue was prepared for both scenarios.
"Elder Baishui, I'll give you something else later. If you have to leave, you can use it. It can control the temperature within ten meters to around zero degrees."
The temperature isn't very high, but as long as you wear more animal skins, you won't freeze to death.
"Yes, Master Bai Yue."
The two consecutive prophecies brought the morale of the two tribes to its lowest point.
Everyone knew that there would be heavy snow and strong winds soon, but no orcs could step forward to solve the problem.
Bai Yue looked at the points she had saved up with great difficulty but had almost spent all at once, and felt that the days ahead would be more and more difficult.
She has to spend the remaining points frugally.
"Bai Yu, hang this on the cub." Bai Yue was holding a jade pendant in her hand, which she had just exchanged from the system.
The wearer's temperature can be controlled at 26 degrees, the most suitable temperature for the human body.
When Bai Yu heard the call, he did not ask any further questions. He silently took the jade pendant and put it on the cub.
The small jade pendant looked unusually large on the cub's neck.
"This is a gift from the Beast God to us cubs. Don't let anyone else know." Bai Yue said.
The white fox witch doctor didn't understand what she meant at first, but after a while, he felt the body temperature around the cub slowly rising, and then he realized what a good thing she had given him.
It’s really...the Beast God’s preference.
"I understand." Bai Yu nodded, and said in his heart, thanking the Beast God for his gift.
The things I promised to give to Elder Baishui were given to him a few days ago. The only thing left to do next is to face the coming storm.
Just one day, two days...it was almost winter, but the storm still didn't come.
This calmness brought a sigh of relief to everyone.
"Lord Bai Yue, it looks like the storm isn't coming." Elder Bai Shui said happily as he looked at the rare clear sky.
But Bai Yue couldn't smile. She looked at the blue sky, knowing that she should be happy too, since the prophecy hadn't happened. But she felt like a huge rock was weighing down her heart, and she couldn't muster any motivation.
"Lord Bai Yue, I'll notify everyone and let them have a good rest."
Elder Baishui waited for a while, and when he saw that she didn't speak, he continued.
Hearing this, Bai Yue could only agree reluctantly, but still said something extra.
"Elder Baishui, I think that since we have all prepared for this time, we may be able to hold on for a few more days."
"We can't hold on any longer." Elder Baishui frowned. "Several of the cubs have been frostbitten. If we delay any longer, even the witch doctor won't be able to help."
Having said this, Bai Yue had no reason to insist any longer.
But something about the blue sky seemed off.
...
Outside the tribe.
There were countless orcs hiding in the snow, and some of them even died because they had been in the snow for a long time and couldn't even breathe.
The crocodile beastman quietly moved to Feng's side and whispered, "Chief, when are we going to charge in?"
Feng glanced back at him and said, "The orcs from other tribes haven't arrived yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Hearing this, the crocodile orc scratched his head and said, "Oh, it's because I'm about to enter the estrus period, so I want to find a female quickly."
"Aren't there females?"
"There are too many beastmen, and they are old." When this was mentioned, the crocodile beastman felt a little dissatisfied.
The abducted females were at least ten years older than him, and some were even old enough to be his mothers. That was why he was unwilling to be a beastly husband to those females.
Feng raised his lip in mockery. "As a wandering orc, you're so picky. Do you really think you're some great hero in the tribe?"
The crocodile orc's face turned red after being confronted, but he couldn't say a word in rebuttal.
In fact, this is true.
He was not strong and was a cold-blooded orc. If he had not been taken in by a wandering group, he might have died in any corner of the Orc Continent.
Seeing that he understood the situation and didn't say anything, Feng stopped harping on the matter.
These orcs are a bit stupid, but they are also quite good consumables.
Every time there is a fight, letting them rush to the front can reduce a lot of losses.
"Tell them all that when they see the white butterflies fluttering up, they should head towards the upper mountains and surround them."
"Got it." Finally receiving a specific order, the crocodile orc was so happy that he was shaking all over. This news was the best news for the wandering orcs who had been hungry for many days.
They were no match for the orcs who had proper tribes. Every winter, a large number of people in the wandering groups would die, and the majority of the casualties were females and cubs.
Unless there is a female willing to accept a beastly husband, she can barely survive.
Not far away, a group of orcs were walking in a dark mass.
After finally waiting for a snow-free day, they immediately rushed over here, just to confirm whether the news they had received was correct.
"Chief. Is the news we received really correct? When did the Goat Tribe become so powerful?" The white tiger orc wearing a black wolf hat asked out the curiosity he had been holding back all the way.
As soon as I opened my mouth, I was filled with wind.
The White Tiger leader is very strong and bulky. Although he is in human form, he looks like a small mountain.
"Yes or no. You'll know when you see it with your own eyes."
"Then why don't we fly? We are not far from the goat tribe anyway. Wouldn't flying there be faster than walking?" The white tiger orc wearing a hat was puzzled.
They have wings, so why don't they use them?
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped on the back by someone behind him.
"You idiot! If we fly in the sky, wouldn't that be telling the Goat Tribe openly, 'Look, we're coming to cause trouble for you!' Stupid, isn't that right?"
“…” The white tiger orc wearing a hat felt very aggrieved.
He just thought that it would speed up the process, and he had no other intentions, so why should he slap him for no reason?
It hurts a lot.
"What Ayao said is correct, but there is one point that Ayao did not make clear." The White Tiger leader heard the two bickering and spoke to mediate. His voice was so low that it seemed as if the earth was shaking. "That is, your special abilities cannot support you to fly that far."
