Ling Yun and Song Mu were discussing the area for the tribe to dig a well, while Lin Qiu was happily relaxed and only let go of the water when his fingertips were wrinkled.
"Let's go, we should go back."
Lin Qiu came out of the water and put on his clothes, but he felt a little hot again.
Ling Yun originally wanted to ask Lin Qiu to help him use soap to lather up all the hair on his body and wash it thoroughly, but he forgot about it.
But business was more important. He shook off the water on his body and said, "Come up, Xiaoqiu."
Lin Qiu sat on Ling Yun's soft back. Sitting on the feline's spine felt a bit unsettling, but fortunately she was used to it now.
Song Mu was keeping a close eye on the surroundings to prevent any unknown dangers.
They returned to the tribe before noon, but Song Mu did not follow them in. Instead, he turned around and went into the jungle to hunt.
It is better to hunt more prey now than to let the beasts die of thirst during a severe drought!
Ling Yun returned to the tribe and said to Lin Qiu, "When Song Mu comes back soon, I'll arrange for a few older, more experienced males to check out that stream. If there's a real possibility of a drought, we need to prepare quickly."
Not just food and water.
As resources decrease, conflicts may arise between beasts and tribes, between tribes, and among stray orcs.
The Tiger Tribe needs a stronger defense.
He originally wanted to relax on this trip, but he didn't expect to make such a discovery. The tribe had finally gotten back on track, and Ling Yun had only been relaxing for two days before he had to get busy again.
However, it is better to be busy now than to let the tribe go bankrupt later.
Lin Qiu said, "Don't let Pu Su and the others weave cloth for now. Let's store more dried meat."
Ling Yun was thinking the same thing: "I'm also going to go dig up all the konjac in the forest and store as much food as possible!"
After the sun went down, the weather became a little cooler.
Ling Yun gathered everyone in the tribe around the sacred stone and announced, "According to observations by several elders in the tribe, there has been no rain this summer, and there is a high probability of a severe drought. To ensure our daily lives, we need everyone's cooperation in the coming days."
Ling Yun's words made everyone frown. The weather this year was indeed abnormally dry. The sun was so scorching that it seemed to want to bake the entire continent. Since the summer came, not a drop of rain had been seen from the sky.
Although the rainfall in previous summers was not much, it was never as much as this year!
"Chief, please arrange our work! Should we start storing food from now on?"
It’s not that they haven’t experienced severe droughts before, so they have some experience. It’s just that they didn’t know how to store food before, so they couldn’t cope with it. Now at least they have ways to try.
Ling Yun said, "Tan Yuan, you are responsible for taking fifty males out hunting. The more the better. You will have all the arrows in the tribe at your disposal. Be careful when hunting and avoid close-range attacks if arrows are available."
Tan Yuan said: "No problem."
"Pu Su, split your manufacturing team into two groups. One group will process the food that Tan Yuan and the others brought back, while the other group will make more feather arrows and catapults."
"Mei Yan, you Feather Tribe orcs are responsible for going out to inform other tribes to see if they have similar situations and remind them to respond quickly."
Ling Yun finally looked at Qing Yuan: "I think you also need to go back to the grassland. Help the tribe survive first."
A look of struggle flashed in Qing Yuan's eyes, but he finally nodded.
He had been in the Tiger Tribe for so long, but Lin Qiu didn't even give him a second glance.
This made Qing Yuan feel a little defeated, and he suddenly realized that not everything in this world can be achieved through hard work.
He is not as good as he thinks.
"Okay, I'll pick out ten more people to help me dig for a water source. The rest will follow Teng Ning to strengthen our tribe's defenses, build higher walls, and make wider and deeper traps. Each female will only have one male by her side to take care of her, and the others will participate in the construction. This is a critical moment for the tribe, and I hope all the females can be patient."
