Wu Chuandao frowned upon hearing this. "Do we really have to use feathers? Can't we use leaves or something like that instead? They're all very light. How are we supposed to use arrows like this? You're responsible for making feather arrows, and this is what they look like?!"
Sang Gu explained, "Chief, there's a huge difference between leaves and feathers. We were waiting for Mei Yan to recover from his injuries before we could capture feathered beasts, but we didn't expect the tribe to encounter a beast tide this year."
"Okay, time is running out now, don't say these useless words. Come over and help."
Ling Yun asked Sang Gu to quickly distribute the feather arrows to everyone and asked everyone to put the feathers they brought from home on the back of the arrow handles.
The tremors in the tribe were getting stronger and stronger, which meant that the beast horde was getting closer and closer to the tribe. Wu Chuan glanced at Sang Gu who ran over to help, and then at Ling Yun:
"I'm going to the tribe to see if the females have evacuated."
After he finished speaking, he returned to the tribe. Ling Yun looked at his back and clenched his fists.
This was not the time to fight with Wu Chuan, so Ling Yun quickly spread hay outside the trap, intending to use fire to disperse the beast tide.
"Here it comes! It's coming soon!"
Without Mei Yan's reminder, the sound of Zhentian's footsteps was like thunder. Ling Yun looked at Mei Yan and said, "Please give the feathers to Sang Gu and the others! We need more feather arrows!"
Mei Yan's injured wing could no longer support his flight, and he fell down crookedly.
"You guys pull it out, I can't do it myself."
Mei Yan spread his wings and closed his eyes like a prey waiting to be slaughtered.
"Why......"
Sang Gu knew how precious Mei Yan was to his feathers, and he couldn't help but sigh when he saw him like this.
Pu Su said anxiously, "Old man, it's already this late, what are you hesitating about?"
As he spoke, he reached out and plucked the feathers from the tip of Mei Yan's wings.
There are three kinds of feathers on Mei Yan's body: main feathers, down feathers and fine feathers. Only the main feathers that are deeply embedded in his skin can be used to make feather arrows. They are also the most beautiful feathers covering his body.
Several of Mei Yan's wing feathers were torn off, and he felt so painful that his eyes went dark.
He endured it and said, "Don't be soft-hearted. Look ahead, the beasts are already here!"
Everyone couldn't help but look back and saw a vast expanse of white in the distance. It was the snow mist stirred up by the running wild beasts.
"Get the catapult ready!" Ling Yun evacuated from the outermost trap and stared nervously at the impending disaster ahead. The beast tide ten years ago appeared in everyone's eyes.
Pu Su's leg was injured in the last beast tide. He went from being a strong male in the tribe to a disabled person who needed to be supported by others, and was also driven out of the house by the females.
At this moment, the males standing at the forefront were still a group of cubs in the last beast tide, and this time it was their turn to protect the tribe.
Everyone was on high alert outside the tribe, determined to protect the tribe from the beast tide even at the cost of their lives.
Lin Qiu felt that the entire cave was shaking, and a lot of the meat on the shelves had been shaken off.
She could also hear the roar of the beast: "Song Mu, I'll be fine staying here, go check on Ling Yun, check on him..."
"He'll be fine. Xiaoqiu, I will never leave your side at this moment."
Song Mu transformed into a beast, squatted at the entrance of the cave, and listened vigilantly to the sounds outside.
Once the entrance to the valley is lost, he will leave immediately.
Lin Qiu was worried about Ling Yun, but she also didn't want to put Song Mu in danger. At least Song Mu wouldn't make her worry any more when he was in front of her.
The huge herd of beasts rushed to the outside of the tiger tribe in a moment. They rushed straight forward without any intention of retreating.
The tiger males were also on high alert. When Ling Yun saw the beasts about to charge into the trap, he gave the order, "Release!"
Ten catapults instantly hurled burning fireballs, which flew over the trap and smashed into the herd of beasts just as they had practiced before.
The fallen dirt exploded, sparks ignited the hay on the ground, and the area outside the trap instantly turned into a sea of fire.
The beasts at the beginning were suddenly met with such a change. Some of them died under the fireballs mixed with stones before they could react, some fled frantically in the fire, and some were frightened, but if they stopped for a moment, they would be trampled under the feet of the beasts rushing up from behind.
The chaos among the beasts gave everyone confidence. Ling Yun said, "Light it up again! Light it up again! Hurry up and light up all the remaining ones! If you run out of energy, switch people! If there are no more clods of earth, switch to stones!"
A huge monster fell from the sky and dispersed the beast tide. The beasts no longer ran wildly in one direction.
Some of them managed to escape the sea of fire, but fell into a trap. Before they could react, they were pierced to death by the sharpened wooden spikes inside.
The first battle was a victory, but Ling Yun had no time to be happy because the wild beasts had already filled the shallow trap with their bodies.
The beasts that rushed out of the sea of fire initially ran towards the tribe sporadically, and were shot to death one by one by arrows.
Everyone could handle it easily at the beginning, but later more and more people broke through the sea of fire.
The beasts in the beast tide are like a group of crazy beasts. Even if half of their kind have been killed in front of them, they will still rush forward until they are affected, and then they will know how to escape.
"Ling Yun, there are no more stones!"
Without clods of earth and stones, the catapult had to be abandoned.
"Go and boil the oil and wait on the mountain wall! If we can't resist, pour the hot oil on these beasts as they enter the valley!"
Ling Yun changed back into human form and picked up a bow and arrow from his hand.
"There are no more feathers! Ling Yun, these are the only feather arrows we can make."
Sang Gu and all the old and disabled orcs were guarding outside the tribe. While the orcs in front were drawing their bows and arrows, they were constantly making feather arrows behind them.
The feathers on Mei Yan's body are very large, and one can be cut into several pieces, but weight is also a problem, and feathers that are too large cannot be used.
"Use as many as we have! When we run out of arrows, we'll go up and fight them!"
After Ling Yun finished speaking, he rushed out first and bit to death a beast that tried to come in from the edge.
Each person was only given four or five feather arrows. After they used them up, they all transformed into beasts and rushed out.
"Sang Gu, what are you doing?"
Pu Su looked at Sang Gu, who had also transformed into a beast. He was old now, and the fur of his beast form was no longer bright. Under the gray fur was a skinny body.
"I'll go pick up those arrows that were shot!"
Sang Gu knew that he couldn't fight, but he still took the risk to pick up a few feather arrows.
By picking up one more, the males of their tribe could kill one more beast from a safe distance.
Sang Gu's words also awakened the other orcs. While they were fighting the beasts in close combat, they also collected the feather arrows around them.
