113. The tribal dilemma
"After living for so long, it is the first time I have encountered such a bad year, and some people in the tribe froze to death all winter, but in the end, everyone survived by relying on the potatoes in the frozen soil. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info We are on the edge of the swamp of death, although there are often demonic beasts infested, but as long as we don't go too deep into the swamp, the demonic beasts in those swamps will rarely come out to infest us, but this year is different, those swamp zombies and red-faced bats actually rushed out of the swamp to invade our people, and life has become more difficult. There was a faint sadness in the old orc's cloudy eyes, the eyes of this old orc who was accustomed to life and death were worried about the entire tribe, and I could see that his tone was flat when he spoke, but I could taste the strong hardship in his words, and I could imagine the weak werewolves who died under the attack of those first-level demonic beasts.
The old orc finally pulled his eyes back from Kuz's body and looked at us one by one.
Caterina handed the other two bowls of soup cakes to the two young werewolves who kept swallowing their saliva, they didn't dare to take them at first, and after asking the old orc's consent, they carefully took the wooden bowl, only tasted a few small bites, and then stopped their mouths with great difficulty and refused to eat again, but carefully put the remaining soup cakes into the leather bag, and very disciplined to buckle the empty wooden bowl in front of themselves.
I saw the familiar gaze in their eyes, and after Kuz tasted my food for the first time two years ago, he showed such a gluttony, except that at that time, Kuzi ate seven large bowls in one go, and lay on the back of the thunder rhinoceros for a whole day before he dared to move. I didn't expect these two young werewolves to overcome the temptation of deliciousness, and after only a few small bites, they put away the soup cakes, and I thought that there must be someone who needed this bowl of soup cakes more to make them stop tasting the delicious food so hard.
According to the rules of the wasteland, the guests will buckle down the wooden bowl after eating, indicating that they will not add food, they must be worried about eating up our dinner! Caterina looked at the two young wolf people who were so self-disciplined, turned around mischievously and took out the iron hook on the edge of the iron pot, hooked out the yellow leg of lamb at the bottom of the soup pot, and handed the whole leg of lamb with a rich aroma to a young werewolf, seeing him looking at the large piece of delicious mutton in amazement, he smiled and nodded to signal him to take it.
Watching the young werewolf who took the leg of mutton feasting on it, even the hard leg of mutton bones were slowly chewed and swallowed into his stomach, and I thought that Kuzi used to be so fond of biting bones into his stomach, and it turned out that all werewolves liked to do this!
Kuzi frowned and asked, "Isn't there always hunters hunting these magical beasts?"
"They have all come to the northern wasteland to hunt cattle in order to fill their stomachs, how can they have the heart to hunt swamp zombies!" said a young werewolf, apparently winning the favor of the other party for our generosity.
The old orc took over and continued: "In the past, the warriors of the tribe would hunt down these monsters living in the swamp, and the bone materials on the zombies and the skins of the red-faced bats were very precious things, but this year is different, this year there are a lot of monsters that have rushed out of the death swamp, and those young people in the tribe have never been able to come back after receiving the war call order the year before last, and someone brought a letter back to say that those young people have returned to the arms of the beast god in the battle of Blackstone Fort. Now that the old and the young left in the tribe were not able to fight the beasts, Raitu and I decided to come out of the edge of the swamp. ”
At this time, he glanced at the strong werewolf lying on the stretcher with some concern, Qige stood up and walked over, and gently crouched beside the great tribal leader Raitu, his bright eyes twinkled like stars, and asked the old orc, "Can I see his injuries?"
The old orcs seemed a little surprised, human beings have always been extremely disgusted with orcs, many humans think that orcs are extremely dirty, they should never take a bath all their lives, like to eat half-cooked food, there is always a strong salty and wet smell on the body, for such a clean and refreshing and sweet-looking human girl, it is very rare to be able to endure sitting and eating with orcs, at this time he took the initiative to help investigate the injury of the tribal leader Raitu, which made the old orc very surprised.
"Kig is a very good apothecary!" said Kuz.
In this way, the old orc readily agreed, and I think he may not be able to do anything about the wound of the great leader Laitu, because I can feel that the edge of the wound is full of wind magic elements, which are attached to the flesh and blood of Laitu's wound, constantly destroying the healing muscle tissue, which makes Laitu's wound look so terrifying.
The old orc continued: " At the beginning, I have been walking west along the edge of the Yelian Mountain Range, but I didn't expect that the area infested by the monster was very wide, and it was not safe anywhere, and a group of harpies who ran out from the depths of the Yelian Mountain completely blocked the westward road, so we had to follow the Ulutu River, through the entire Yelian Mountain to the northern foot of the wasteland, I thought that there would be countless bison and yellow sheep here, as long as our tribe was carefully stationed along the Urutu River, we could hunt herds of one-horned bison and solve our food problems, but when we arrived at the northern foot of the wasteland, we found that the bison and sheep scurrying around on the edge of the past were gone, and if you want to hunt the prey, you have to go inside......”
At this, the old orc paused and fell into deep thought.
I have met different groups of orcs in the wasteland, ranging in number from a dozen to dozens of people, and there are also children and women in the team, belonging to the family team, their initial idea of entering the northern foothills of the wasteland seems to be the same as that of the old orc, Gribaschin, who wanted to be stationed at the edge of the wasteland, hunt some yellow sheep, and try to survive this famine, but in the end they all had to go into the depths of the wasteland.
Such a dangerous wasteland, even if our team met a few days ago, the group of hyenas who were driven like lost dogs, can easily hunt such a family-style team, there are always one or two excellent hunters in their team, but there are more weak werewolves, these oil bottles will affect the mobility of the whole team, once they are entangled by those hyenas, and finally have the ability to get out on their own, will they leave their families and escape alone?
After a while, the old orc spoke: "After leaving the edge of the swamp, sometimes we can't even eat sweet potatoes, before, we didn't expect that this great famine would spread to the entire orc tribe, from the various tribes, the orcs who begged for a living in the wasteland were so many that they could hunt the wild cattle herd in the edge of the northern wasteland, and those large bison herds continued to migrate to the depths of the wasteland, and we had to follow the bison herd to the wasteland, and finally we followed the migration of the bison herd to the Wild Wolf Gorge. ”
"Ahh
Kuzi was unceremonious when he spoke, I could see that he was a little anxious, and it was rare to hear Kuzi speak with such momentum, at this time, only when I heard Kuzi speak like this, I could regard the werewolf boy in front of me as the seventh son of Kurad, the son of the great chief of the blood wolf clan of the Guruding tribe who is now in power, it can be said that he has the seventh inheritance right of the blood wolf clan, but in the past few days and nights, I have never regarded Kuzi as a great person, and a tribe is similar to the role of a prince。
The old orc lowered his eyelids and explained, "Raitu had planned to hunt a few bison near the Wolf Gorge and leave. There are wolves to help drag the bison herd, the hunt will be much easier, originally on our manpower is not enough, it is rare to have such a good opportunity, originally just wanted to hunt a few and left, these wind wolves were originally quite honest, a few years ago, when the high priest of Kulebaolos was still in charge of the blood wolf clan, he once took the elite blood wolf warriors to surround and suppress the wild wolf gorge, over the years, as long as the wind wolves of the wild wolf gorge saw the werewolves of the blood wolf clan, they would be frightened and run away with their tails in disarray, and we never thought that this group of wolves dared to run out of the wild wolf gorge and hurt people. ”
If it weren't for the hunger, who would dare to go to the wolf's mouth to grab food!
Looking back at Raitu's miserable face, which looked like he had lost a lot of blood, I couldn't help but hope that there would be some good news after Kige's examination.
Miss Qi is not an experienced orc witch doctor like old Kuru, she is just a magician who is proficient in potions, her hobby is to make inscriptions, although she does not have the talent to engrave inscriptions, but Miss Qi is indeed very talented for the profession of magic pharmacist, she is familiar with the characteristics of various herbs, and has a very solid grasp of the basic knowledge of herbs, each low-level herb has its own unique opinions, and because of this, Miss Qi is not constrained by the formula rules and regulations of magic potions, she prefers to do some new attempts, this trip to the wasteland, Miss Qi and I have a great harvest。
It is precisely because of this that Kiger's Potions science really opened a window for her to see the vast world inside.
For ordinary injuries, Qige will not be of much help, but the injury of this tribal leader Raitu is not an ordinary wound, but a wound cut out by the "Wind Blade Technique" summoned by the adult wind wolf using the wind magic ability gathered in his magic core, and the reason why this wound cannot heal for a long time is also because the wind magic elements left over from the "Wind Blade Technique" are still in Raitu's body, destroying the muscle tissue in his body, and wanting to alleviate Raitu's injury is actually very simple for the magician:
1. Remove the remaining wind magic elements from his body.
2. Use the healing potion extracted from the hemostatic herb.
However, neither of these points is difficult for us, we happen to have a bottle of healing potion, and such a life-saving healing potion was almost sold by me and Kuz when we were in Yemen Town. Removing the remnants of the magic elements in Raitu's body is indeed my strong point, and for a person who has been burned by the fire poison in the fire magic elements for a long time, I have many ways to remove the remaining wind magic elements in Laitu's body.
The difference between the wind magic elements in Laitu's body and the fire magic elements in my body is that every day at dawn, a new fire magic element will be pulled down from the starry sky and poured into my body, so that the fire poison condensed by the fire magic element in my body is constantly breeding, while the remnants of the wind magic element in Laitu's wind magic element are only temporary.
