It is winter now, as long as there is no heavy snow, we can find them by following the traces.
She knew that panicking at this time was useless.
We must race against time to find our parents and cubs! The longer they stay outside the tribe, the more danger they will be in.
"Okay." Long Mo nodded in agreement.
"Jiaojiao, don't worry, they will definitely not go far. We will definitely find them if we look for them now..."
The tribe leader also comforted.
After that, he hurriedly led the beastmen to search the cave.
Fox Jiaojiao also followed, and after a search, they found that all the supplies inside were gone. Although there were many traces left, there were almost no useful clues.
The only way is to look for them by following the footprints.
"It must be that group of wolf beastmen! Damn it, I didn't expect they had
a trick up their sleeve!" Hu Qinggao angrily punched the tree trunk.
The tall tree suddenly dropped a flurry of snow, which piled up on his head.
"Chief, I'll go find them now, and I will definitely be able to stop them!" Hu Qinggao walked forward angrily and asked the chief for help.
The chief rubbed his aching head and nodded heavily.
Finding females is urgent, and any delay will most likely mean that we won't be able to find females.
He was about to speak and send Hu Qinggao and other beastmen to chase the beastmen, but Long Mo suddenly stood up from beside Hu Jiaojiao, his voice cold but powerful.
"Chief, I'll go."
Long Mo glanced at Hu Qinggao and said without negotiation, "Second brother, you send Jiaojiao back to the stone house and take good care of her for me, I'll go after those beastmen."
Hu Qinggao frowned and wanted to refuse, but then thought that Long Mo's speed was indeed faster than his and more suitable for tracking beastmen.
He could also accompany his younger sister, so he nodded reluctantly:
"Okay."
The chief did not delay and immediately made arrangements:
"Well, you guys go with Long Mo to chase the beastmen, and tell me immediately when you find them. If the other side has a large number, follow them to see where they are taking the females."
Long Mo was willing to help, which was naturally the best.
Flying beastmen have the advantage of speed. Ying Yuan has not come back yet, so Long Mo is the best candidate. The tribe leader is also worried that he will not be willing to go out to take care of Hu Jiaojiao.
"Yes."
The beastmen responded loudly, all in a very high voice.
"Long Mo, then be careful and don't get hurt." Hu Jiaojiao knew that if she followed, she would be a hindrance. She held Long Mo's hand and warned him with a worried look.
"Don't worry, wait for me to come back." Long Mo's eyes were full of affection, and he gently stroked Hu Jiaojiao's cheek with his fingers.
When he turned around, the tenderness on his face was instantly replaced by coldness.
All the bird tribe beastmen in the tribe set out with Long Mo. Hu Jiaojiao watched their backs disappear into the horizon, her hands entwined tightly together.
"Be sure to come back safely..."
"Little sister, don't worry. Although Long Mo is a bit sullen, he is still capable. He will be fine."
Seeing Hu Jiaojiao's worried face, Hu Qinggao comforted her in a cheerful voice.
Hu Jiaojiao nodded and looked away.
This time she didn't have a precognitive dream in advance, at least it proved that Long Mo and his cubs were not in danger of life.
What she had to do now was to find a way to strengthen the tribe's defense and wait for him to come back at home.
"Little sister, shall I take you back to the tribe first?" Hu Qinggao did not forget his mission.
"Okay."
Hu Jiaojiao replied. She had to go back and think about how to strengthen the tribe's defense, so that there would be no panic the next time there was an orc invasion.
Back to the tribe.
Hu Qinggao sent Hu Jiaojiao back to the stone house and guarded her in the living room.
Hu Jiaojiao said nothing, and didn't even light the brazier. She sat inside the door with the door open, looking at the white clouds in the distance.
Hu Qinggao couldn't bear it and wanted to close the door, "Little sister, you will get sick if you do this. Go to the room. I'll wait here for you. I'll call you as soon as Long Mo comes back."
"I'm right here." Hu Jiaojiao shook her head and didn't listen to Hu Qinggao's words.
Hu Qinggao had no way to deal with her, so he had to light a charcoal fire and put it in front of Hu Jiaojiao to keep her warm. The charcoal fire was easily extinguished under the cold wind, and he could only watch.
At this time, Hu Jiaojiao suddenly asked, "Second brother, what do you think we should do to avoid being invaded by other beastmen?"
She thought like a human, and her first thought was to build defensive measures, but it was winter now, with thick snow piled on the ground and irregular blizzards, which was obviously not very realistic.
The tribes attacked each other mostly for supplies and females, but she was cautious after Huang Yue came to the tribe. The supplies in the tribe were all to guard against Huang Yue. The other party did not know the situation of the tribe's supplies, but still came to attack. Obviously, it would be useless if the "wealth" was not revealed.
"Of course it is strong!" Hu Qinggao answered without thinking.
"The only difference of our tribe is that it is a mixed tribe, with orcs with weak attacking power. If everyone is as strong as Ying Yuan and Long Mo, we don't have to be afraid of attacks. We can just kill them without leaving a single piece of armor!"
Hu Qinggao said while waving his fists, a little excited.
Orcs have racial oppression.
It is innate, and it cannot be avoided or changed.
"Is there no other way?" Hu Jiaojiao's eyes were a little dim.
She couldn't make the orcs in the tribe mutate and become stronger. Even if there were weapons, the fighting habits of the orcs were there. Unless they practiced day and night, they could improve their fighting power. If they didn't do it well, they would end up making things worse and hurt their own people.
If her space disappeared one day, she would lose these guarantees.
Hu Qinggao thought about it seriously.
"It's not that there is no way..." He poked the charcoal in the basin, "Another shortcoming of our tribe is that there are too few beastmen. We have to hurry up and breed cubs this winter. When the tribe grows bigger, we can kill one by one, and kill two by two!"
Hu Jiaojiao was speechless.
There was no reliable method.
She had reason to suspect that the beast god of this world was Nuwa, who had the ability to create humans infinitely and was definitely the overlord of the beast world.
"Little sister, don't worry, we males will take care of these things, just take a good rest!" Hu Qinggao turned his head to look at Hu Jiaojiao, with a look of heartache on his handsome face.
His unreliable remarks just now were entirely to make Hu Jiaojiao happy and divert her attention.
"I'm fine, second brother." Hu Jiaojiao said, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she thought of a possibility.
She turned her head, her eyes twinkling:
"Second brother, what do you think? If I can increase the number of beastmen in the tribe by several times, or even more, will we not be afraid of being attacked in the future?"
Hu Qinggao couldn't bear to break her fantasy, so he said tactfully:
"Little sister, there are only a limited number of females in the tribe, and they can't give birth to so many cubs at once, and it will take more than ten years for the cubs to grow up..."
By then, the opportunity will be gone.
