Building a Civilization and Raising Cubs in the Beast World – Chapter 69

Chapter 69

The others looked at Langze, not knowing whether to be relieved or emotional.

How should I put it? The current scene was not only a bit awkward but also very surprising. I thought that after sending Langze to the mining area, he would not come back before midnight, but who would have thought that he would come back before dark.

Langze suddenly returned to the tribe early, catching everyone off guard. Every one of the wolves present knew Langze very well and understood that they would definitely not agree to their plan if he knew about it, so they simply kept it a secret from Langze.

This was also a helpless move. As the leader, Lang Qi had to lead the team himself for such a big event. And among the four hunting teams in the tribe, Lang Ze was the youngest one. If Lang Qi went, Lang Ze had to stay in the tribe. Otherwise, if something happened to Lang Qi, there would be no one to take over. After all, the direct relatives of the previous two wolf kings were only Lang Qi, Lang Ya, Lang Ze and the two cubs. Lang Ya was relatively small in size, and the two cubs were still at the age where they needed care, and they didn’t even have the ability to transform into human form.

It is the best way to fight for Langqi to lead the team and leave Langze behind. However, Langze always does some unexpected things, such as bringing back the orcs of the Leopard Tribe when he didn’t know the tribe’s plan. And now, when no one has leaked the news, he realized that everyone was not here for hunting this time.

Not hearing any answer, Langze asked Langqi again: “Brother, are you going to fight?”

Langqi didn’t say anything, just looked at Langze quietly for a while.

Langze, who had come down with great confidence to question the others, inexplicably didn’t feel so righteous anymore. But when he thought about everyone going out to fight without him, he immediately straightened his back and said, “I want to go too!” Why didn’t they take him with them to the fight?

Lang Qi was silent for a moment, and asked in almost no voice: “Are you sure you want to follow?”

“Of course we are.” Lang Ze pointed at everyone, “If I hadn’t come down, would you have sneaked away?”

The other wolves: “…” Although they were shocked by Lang Qi’s answer, they could not refute him, because they did intend to sneak away. Lang Ze came back early and interrupted the original plan, and even counted the number of people as quietly as a thief.

“Okay, follow me.” Lang Qi responded.

Langze immediately cheered and called the little wolves to come down. The little wolves, who were originally depressed because they had to guard the house, cheered when they heard the sound and ran down one after another. A few little wolves who were used to sleeping in animal form did not even change into human form and did not even take their clothes. Seeing that there were many people on the steps going down the mountain, they ran directly to the steep slope next to them and slid down the mountain at a very fast speed, but their buttocks were a little hot after sliding.

“Chief!” The others were shocked. No matter how safe this operation was, letting the Wolf King and the wolf tribe most likely to succeed him go together was not within everyone’s consideration.

The Wolf King is the guarantee of success, and the candidate for the next Wolf King is the hope for the future of the wolf clan. If the two set out together, what will happen to the future of the wolf clan? In order to defeat the Mad Lion Tribe in one fell swoop, they have decided to send out three hunting teams. If Langze also goes, then there will be four hunting teams plus two picking teams. It can be said that all the best and strongest orcs of the tribe are here. Once they cannot come back smoothly, the territory of the wolf tribe will attract the covetousness of other tribes, and then the remaining wolves in the tribe will not be able to protect so much territory.

As for leaving other hunting teams, none of them are suitable. Most of the older orcs have reached the age of retiring from the hunting team, and this is their last time to fight for the tribe.

The hunting team of the previous wolf king has been in low spirits for the past two years because they lost their leader. Apart from hunting, the wolf tribe has hardly participated in any battles in the past two years. If this continues, the team will be ruined, so it is necessary to go.

Not to mention the hunting team led by Lang Qi, the team led by the current Wolf King is always the main force in battle.

Among the four hunting teams, Langze team is the most suitable one to stay. Langze is young. If others fail, Langze will lead the hunting team and the wolves who can come back to protect the tribe. As long as they can successfully get through the first two or three years, the wolf tribe can become the tribe it is now that no one dares to provoke.

After Langze came down, everyone placed their hopes on Langqi, thinking that Langqi would refuse. Unexpectedly, he agreed so easily. The wolves were all stunned.

“Langze has never participated in actual combat.” Lang Qi said in a deep voice, “It would be good to train him this time.”

“But…” Someone hesitated. This sentence was correct, but all the hunting teams had set off, and there were only three picking teams left in the tribe. Except for the team led by Lang Ya, the strength of other picking teams was slightly weaker than that of the hunting team.

Lang Qi did not give the other party a chance to refute: “Lang Ya, stay.”

The orc who had just spoken swallowed his words. The wolf king called out the orc’s name and gave instructions to two people in a row. It was not a discussion, but a notification.

However, it is better for Lang Ya to stay than for all of them to leave. The other wolves are not as shocked as before. Since Lang Qi made such arrangements, he must have considered it carefully.

Lang Ya looked up and was about to refuse, but seeing the unquestionable look on Lang Qi’s face, she could only nod and agree. It was definitely not appropriate to question the leader’s decision before setting off.

Lang Qi turned around and looked at the assembled wolf pack for a while, selecting three or four people from each team, including Lang Ze’s team.

Before leaving the tribe, Lang Qi took a last look at the tribe where he had lived for more than ten years, transformed into a beast form and walked at the front of the team.

A team of one hundred and sixty to seventy wolves of different colors, plus more than twenty leopards, a total of nearly two hundred orcs, set out from the wolf tribe in a mighty manner.

In the Snow Rabbit Tribe, Bai Tu, who was checking the new iron tools, felt his eyelids twitching. He couldn’t help but ask Bai Hui, who was in charge of iron smelting and forging: “How many collars have been made?”

The collar in his hand was a defensive tool made of nails and animal skins. Wearing it around the neck could effectively prevent other orcs or wild beasts from attacking the neck, the most vulnerable part. This tool is very useful for preventing sneak attacks and protecting weak orcs. Regardless of whether there will be fights with other tribes in the future, defensive weapons should be prepared first.

Bai Tu’s plan is to give one to each person, but the production speed is a bit slow. After all, the iron nails need to be sharp enough. He started more than ten days ago, and at most makes a dozen or twenty nails a day. Now the number is barely enough for the rabbit tribe, the cat tribe and the wolf tribe stationed in the Snow Rabbit Tribe. Only a small part is produced for the Blood Wolf Tribe.

Bai Hui looked through the bamboo slips in his hand and replied, “Two hundred and three.”

“Take them all out and distribute them to the hunting team first.” Bai Tu said. He had originally wanted to wait until all the orcs’ things were done and distribute them together, but today he had an inexplicable feeling of uneasiness. He thought that the remaining things could be completed before the market opened, so he would distribute some of them first. I always feel like something is going to go wrong, so it’s better to be prepared for some things. Even if nothing happens, it doesn’t hurt to take some precautions in advance.

“Okay.” Bai Hui agreed and immediately went to Tucai to get the collar. They were only responsible for making it, and all the collars would be sent to Tucai for safekeeping.

After Bai Hui left, Bai Tu looked through the iron wires of varying thicknesses nearby, then picked up a pen and drew a bite stopper on a wooden board. The bite stopper is a little more complicated than the defense collar. Bai Tu changed it several times. He was thinking about what material to use for the buckle and the belt when Bai Hui ran over: “Tu, the wolf tribe is not here.”

“Not here?” Bai Tu glanced at the sky. It was almost dark. Did they not come back or did they go out early?

“Have you asked Mu?” Bai Tu asked. Sometimes he had to admire Tu Mu’s memory. Now there were nearly 200 people in the tribe plus the wolf clan, and at least 100 people went to the cafeteria every day. Tu Mu could actually remember who had eaten and who had not. You know, not all orcs went to eat together.

“I asked, and he was away at noon today. He went to check on them, but he didn’t come back, and he didn’t have dinner either. Chief Langqi said this morning that if they don’t come back today, we don’t have to prepare food.”

“Okay, let’s divide the food for our tribe’s hunting team first.” It would be difficult to deal with if the person was not in the tribe, so we could only wait until tomorrow. After Bai Tu finished speaking, his eyelids twitched twice again.

Thinking about the wolf tribe disappearing for a day from time to time recently, especially Lang Qi, who said that there were a lot of things to do in the tribe. He used to take care of the cubs from morning to night. Recently, he is not afraid that the cubs will not recognize him. It is good enough for him to appear once every two days. He frowned and called Bai Hui who was about to go out: “Wait, Hui, help me find Chen and Qi, hurry up.”

“Right away!” Hearing his anxious words, Bai Hui hurriedly ran and ran more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.

Bai Tu followed behind the other person. When he had walked a few steps, the other person had already turned the corner. Before he reached the bottom of the mountain, Bai Chen and the other two had all arrived.

Seeing people, Bai Tu immediately instructed: “Qi, take two fast people to the Blood Wolf Tribe to find Lang Qi, and ask them to come over after finding him. Chen, you go to the east.”

The two agreed, and Bai Qi immediately went to find people to go southeast, while Bai Chen took a few people to the other side of the creek in the east. The wolf tribe was going to the territory of the lion tribe. If they wanted to save time, this route was the shortest. If the two tribes still had the same non-interference relationship as before, the wolf tribe might have avoided the Snow Rabbit tribe’s territory. But now the two tribes are similar to one tribe except that they are a little farther apart. The wolf tribe will definitely not take a detour if they want to go there.

The Wolf Clan, who were originally planning to cross the Rabbit Clan’s territory and head straight for the Mad Lion Clan, met Bai Qi just after passing their own tribal territory. When they heard Bai Tu wanting them to go to the Snow Rabbit Clan, Lang Qi thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Bai Qi heaved a sigh of relief. It was obvious from the wolves’ posture that they were going to cause trouble. He didn’t know how Bai Tu guessed it. It was the first time that Bai Qi saw so many wolves together. After all, hunting teams usually acted alone. Even if they were exchanging salt, the wolves only sent two hunting teams and some members of the picking team. Now there were probably more than 200 people.

The wolf tribe followed Bai Qi to the Snow Rabbit Tribe, but they never expected that they would be greeted by a strange collar.

“This is a defensive collar, to protect your neck.” Bai Tu demonstrated how to wear a defensive collar and personally put the first one on Lang Qi’s neck.

Lang Qi lowered his head and looked at the white map carefully.

Bai Tu thought it didn’t fit properly, so he helped to adjust it and explained, “It looks a bit ugly, but it’s safe.”

Lang Qi looked at the full of collars in the backpack next to him and said in a deep voice, “Put them all on.”

The wolves walked to the basket one by one and picked up the collars to put them on. A few who didn’t bring any clothes wanted to take them to the corner and put them on themselves, but found that they had nowhere to start. Bai Tu, who couldn’t bear it any longer, was about to speak, but Lang Qi waved his hand and asked the other wolves to put them on.

Seeing that someone was helping, Bai Tu retracted his gaze and looked at Lang Qi. He hesitated for a moment, and finally said only one sentence: “Be careful.” It was just a guess. What was there to not understand when seeing a team like the Wolf Tribe? The last time the Mad Lion Tribe was at its strongest, it did not bring so many orcs, because last time it was just to intimidate, and now they are really planning to take action.

Lang Qi stared at him for a long time, until Bai Tu responded with doubt: “Take good care of the cubs.”

“Don’t worry.” Bai Tu nodded. The wolf tribe was going to fight their common enemy, and they would definitely arrange the logistics.

Lang Qi and Bai An went to the side to talk for a few words, then came back to hug the two cubs, and finally put the cubs in Bai Tu’s arms: “I’m leaving.” After that, he changed into a beast form and walked towards the wolf pack without any pause.

“Awoo~” The cubs seemed to sense something and looked out from Bai Tu’s arms for the first time.

Bai Tu calmed the uneasy cub, suppressed his worries, and took out the picture of the bite stopper he had just drawn: “Hui, use thick iron wire to make a small cage like this.” If you capture someone, it would be appropriate to put a bite stopper on him. Bai Tu thought that if there were too many captives, it would be dangerous if he didn’t defend himself.

Bai Hui started studying it immediately, and while Bai Tu was there, he asked questions whenever he had any questions.

Bai Tu brought the cub with him, patiently answered the other party’s questions, and personally watched the steps.

But Bai Tu never expected that the first bite stopper would be used on his own people.

The prototype of the defense collar is the anti-wolf collar.

Langze: I’m defending myself?
