Chapter 70
After repeated debugging, the finished product made by Bai Hui was approved by Bai Tu. It was what he wanted. The bite stopper can be worn on the head without delaying work, but it cannot be used to attack people. Whether it is a cat or a canine, teeth are the sharpest weapon. If the teeth cannot be used, the combat power will be reduced by at least half.
The metal part has been completed, and the leather part needs to be tested. Bai Tu took it back to the cave directly. Now the bite stopper only has a metal frame, and there is still an action that needs to be done. He took it back and studied it slowly. Although it will be used on captured orcs, in order to reduce discomfort, the parts that come into contact with the skin basically need to be padded with animal skin to prevent them from being strangled.
After a fight between tribes ends, the attitude of the victorious party towards the defeated party is related to the victorious party’s usual habits. Some tribes will kill everyone without leaving any alive, which is the most cruel. There are also tribes that will kill all the men on the defeated side and leave only the women. Some tribes only killed the leader of the other side and brought the other orcs back to the tribe. As the lowest-ranking orcs, they had more work to do but were not as well treated as the original residents of the tribe.
The wolf tribe tends to prefer the last option, and generally will not kill all of their enemies. There was a part of the Blood Wolf Tribe that tried to provoke the wolf tribe before and was counterattacked, but that was a long time ago, and the Blood Wolf Tribe at that time was not as strong as it is now.
If the wolves win this time, they will use the same method. However, even if they are hostile, they have to admit that the lions have strong attack power. If some measures are not taken to restrict the captives, the orcs guarding them will be in danger.
Taking into account the size of lions, several models of bite stoppers have to be produced. The first finished product is a larger version, specially designed to deal with male lions with high combat power. The material is the hardest one to ensure that it can restrict the wearer.
Cutting, sewing, adjusting the tightness… there were so many things to consider, and Bai Tu was busy until midnight before he finally made a complete bite stopper. Sometimes, the sounds of lions or wolves could be heard in the distance, but because the distance was much farther than before, they were not very clear.
The finished bite stopper was not disassembled and used as a model. Another piece of the same raw material was cut out using a white drawing. These will be sent to Tucai, who will lead the processing orcs to cut and sew them. The production steps are similar to those of collars. Baihui and Tucai will lead the orcs from two teams to work together on the production.
Many finished products in the tribe are made in this way. The efficiency of division of labor and cooperation is much faster than one person first doing iron forging and then cutting animal skins. Moreover, because the orcs only do the parts they are good at, the quality of the finished products is getting better and better.
Bai Tu originally wanted to send it to Tu Cai earlier, but the two cubs on the bed who had fallen asleep did not forget to hook him with their claws and would wake up at the slightest movement. It was okay for Bai Tu to cut animal skins or sew, but as long as he showed any tendency to get up, the cubs would wake up immediately and force themselves to look at him. They would not relax until they were sure that he was just going to get something and not leaving, and would not close their eyes again until Bai Tu went to bed.
Maybe because he knew that his uncles were fighting, the cubs were particularly clingy today. Bai Tu felt a little sorry for the cubs who had hardly had any rest since dusk, so he simply put the tools and finished products nearby where the cubs couldn’t reach them, and held the cubs to rest.
Hoping that waking up would bring good news, Bai Tu patted the cub gently and looked at the moonlight at the entrance of the cave. He knew that war was inevitable, but no matter how strong or weak, once there was a fight, there would be injuries, no matter whether they were big or small, it was not what he wanted to see.
What Bai Qi had told Tu Cheng before that there was no medicine in the tribe was a lie. It was not that the tribe had no medicine, but they just didn’t want to use the medicine on Tu Cheng. No matter how serious Tu Cheng’s wounds were, it was his own fault.
The cubs did not understand the world of adults. They felt the reassuring atmosphere and gradually felt sleepy. They found a comfortable position in Bai Tu’s arms, closed their eyes and fell asleep.
The fight has already begun in the Mad Lion Tribe, which is half a day’s journey away from the Snow Rabbit Tribe. Whether it is killing the former Wolf King and Queen or sending Tu Cheng to lure Langze into adventure, it is an unforgivable sin. What’s more, the Lion Tribe has recently frequently entered the territory of the Snow Rabbit Tribe, which is seen as a provocation by the Rabbit Tribe and the Wolf Tribe.
The wolf orcs were divided into three teams. One team surrounded the lion tribe from behind, one team attacked from the front, and the last team joined the leopard tribe and the rabbit tribe to attack the lone orcs.
Given the situation, even if Shi Hong wanted to take Fox Bu away first, he had nowhere to go and the only option was to fight.
There was no need for any nonsense when the tribes, which already had conflicts, went to war. The orcs on both sides sized each other up and chose the appropriate targets to attack.
The Crazy Lion Tribe, which has never been at peace since before the rainy season, has long lost its former majesty. Only the chief and the sub-chief are still strong. The rest of the lion tribe is even thinner than before the rainy season. Some low-level orcs no longer have replaceable animal skins and wear leaves.
The location of the lion tribe, wolf tribe, rabbit tribe, bear tribe and deer tribe is one of the most resource-rich territories in the Eastern Continent. Even the slightly weaker rabbit tribe can exchange for salt and animal skins for warmth, plus the ones made by their own tribe. The conditions were worse in the past few years, but they were not to the point where they had no animal skins to wear. The price of inferior animal skins was not expensive. Simple tools could not be exchanged for salt, but they could be exchanged for animal skins or some soft tree bark that could keep warm.
After being driven to this territory in the north, the Mad Lion Tribe did not have enough food to eat, let alone exchange for other supplies. The Lion Tribe, who always believed that they were strong enough and would not worry about food, were always unwilling to make tools, and no orc knew how to find suitable tree bark to make clothes. As a last resort, some orcs who had no animal skins to cover their bodies could only find leaves.
A few younger ones saw the lion tribe like this and gathered around Langze, whispering.
“The lion’s hides are torn too?” Apart from those brought back from hunting, the Langze team would only wear leaves when the hides were torn and there were no new ones available. They didn’t expect that the lions were so thin that they could actually tear the hides.
The wolf on the left of Langze, You, looked for a while and shook his head: “They probably don’t have animal skins to wear.”
“Zuo, how did you know?” asked a wolf.
“I’m You,” Wolf You looked at the other party with contempt and pointed at the front few orcs on the opposite side, “Look at their leader, the animal skins have been polished to a shine.”
“How amazing.” said the wolf who had just made a mistake. They had never worn shiny animal skins before.
Lang Yang who heard their conversation: “…” He shouldn’t be guarding here. No matter how important the matter is, the young wolves always focus their attention on places no one expects.
While Lang Yang was thinking, he caught a glimpse of a lion trying to sneak away. The little wolves who were still discussing a second ago instantly turned into beasts, moved their necks to relieve the discomfort caused by the extra items, and suddenly rushed towards the other party, arriving in front of the lion in the blink of an eye.
The lion tribe, who wanted to sneak away before the fight between the two sides started, looked at the wolf tribe that suddenly appeared in front of them. They were so scared that their faces were distorted. They even forgot to change into animal form and squatted on the ground, trembling.
The Mad Lion Tribe was looting everywhere, but that didn’t mean all the orcs dared to fight head-on. This orc was always able to find a safe place to hide before others took action, and then find a chance to come out after the battle was over. He had never been discovered. This time he chose the direction of the young wolves because he felt that the young wolves had the weakest observation abilities. What’s more, this group of people were in human form, and it was obvious that they were out to play. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded after only taking a few steps.
Someone taking action means war has begun. Lang Qi didn’t even look at anyone else and rushed directly towards Shi Hong.
Shi Hong did not want to fight with Lang Qi, the most powerful wolf tribe, and tried to get rid of Lang Qi to attack other wolves, preferably Lang Ze, who had no experience, to restore the dignity of the tribe. However, he was blocked by Lang Qi every time. The other party seemed to know his purpose and protected the other wolves tightly.
“Roar~~” Shi Hong roared and dodged Langqi’s claws. The wolf’s claws were not as sharp as the lion’s, but Langqi’s attack was more fierce than that of other lions. He wanted to bite the neck, but before he hurt the opponent, he was stabbed by a mouthful of thorns. Originally, the lion clan had the advantage in attacking, but now they could only be suppressed by the opponent. Shi Hong was in pain and angry, and kept calling other lions to come for help.
The other wolves blocked the other lions who were trying to besiege Lang Qi. Although this was the territory of the Mad Lion Tribe and the lions had the advantage in numbers, the wolves were most famous for not being afraid of fighting.
On the other side of the melee between the wolf and lion tribes, a red-haired young man handed the knife in his hand to the person next to him: “Stab his neck while he is biting Shi Hong. The closer to the neck the better. Stab with all your strength. With Shi Hong around, he won’t dare to let go and attack you.” As long as the orc who has bitten the enemy’s fatal point is not dead, it is basically impossible to let go.
The people next to him hesitated: “Then leader…” The orcs who feel the pain will bite the prey in their mouths harder, and the same goes for orcs. If they really stab, Shi Hong might be bitten to death.
“Who cares whether he lives or dies? Who can I blame for my weakness?” The red-haired young man looked crazy. “I am not strong enough and I have offended so many lions. Otherwise, how could we become like this!”
Hearing this, the person who took the knife gritted his teeth, took the knife, and quietly moved towards the direction of Lang Qi and Shi Hong.
On the other side, Langze, who had bitten a lion and thrown it aside, was about to howl a few times when he suddenly saw an orc behind Langqi, while the other wolves were entangled by the lions.
Lang Qi bit Shi Hong’s neck tightly, which was a fatal part. However, the stronger the orc, the longer he could last. Shi Hong could not die all at once. Lang Qi did not relax at all. Once he let go, Shi Hong would have a chance to escape.
Langze instantly raised his claws and rushed towards Langqi with a howl. Langze ran towards Langqi as fast as he could, but he was too far away and could only witness the lion stabbing the knife into Langqi.
Hearing the sound, Lang Qi dragged Shi Hong and rolled over to avoid the fatal position, but the sharp iron knife still cut his shoulder. An unprecedented pain spread from the wound to his whole body. Lang Qi grabbed the struggling Shi Hong and threw him directly at the other party, then pounced on him and bit Shi Hong again as he struggled to get up.
The vital part was injured again, and Shi Hong’s struggle gradually weakened and finally stopped.
Lang Qisong opened his mouth, and the next moment, his vision gradually became blurred. Lang Qi shook his head, and when he opened his eyes again, there were countless lion orcs in front of him, and lions fighting everywhere around him.
After killing these lions, Lang Qi slowly moved forward, staring at the two lions fighting each other, slightly bent his hind legs, and chose the first target to attack.
Suddenly, a lion approached him. Lang Qi stared at him for a while, then pushed him aside and turned to run in another direction.
He had a hunch that over there was what he wanted most.
