Chapter 595: The Least Desirable Situation
After some tossing, the camp of the Qingque tribe returned to calm, and the night watchman also changed shifts, and the two senior brothers, Mao and the second senior brother, were in the ranks of the night vigil.
Having learned the lesson of the past, the vigil no longer stayed by the fire, as they had done before, but waited for a while, and two people would go around the place away from the fire together.
Because the fire is too bright, you can't see too far at night.
The second senior brother and the two people, one carrying a bronze Ge in his hand, and the other carrying a sling, took two dogs to inspect the camp together.
The two of them had slept in the first half of the night, and they had been harassed by the tigers before, and the weather was very cold at this time, so the two of them were extremely energetic at this time.
One of the dogs, who was walking with them, suddenly stopped, his body tensed, the hair on his neck stood on end, and a whining voice came out of his throat.
The other dog was just like this one, and the two fellows rushed into the distance of the camp, making a sound that resembled a demonstration, and a warning sound.
The sudden actions of the two dogs made the second senior brother and the two of them immediately become alert.
They followed the direction the two dogs were facing, staring into the distance.
On a snowy night, everything becomes shadowy, and it seems that you can see things clearly, but when you actually look at it, it becomes blurry again.
The distant mountains, the nearby trees, and the barren grass have all become outlines.
The place where the senior brother and they are stationed chooses a place with a relatively wide field of vision, and although the line of sight will be affected in the snowy night, they can also see farther.
I didn't get the dog's warning before, and there were a lot of shadows around, but it was really hard to find anything, and at this time, I was reminded by the dog like this, and then I looked closely, and I found the clue.
Not too far from the camp, some dark shadows appeared.
At first, the two of them didn't pay much attention to it, just thinking that it was weeds and bushes.
At this time, I noticed that those black shadows were not bushes at all, but some beasts! Because they're moving slowly!
"Get up! Get up! There are beasts! ”
Mo shouted loudly.
The reaction of the second senior brother was completely different from that of Mao.
The guy didn't say a word, and took out a projectile from the animal skin pocket on his waist and put it in the leather pocket of the slinging in his hand.
Then he opened the distance between him and Mao, put the catapult on the top of his head, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the projectile rushed out quickly.
A dark shadow closest to the camp was caught off guard and let out a miserable cry, it was a wolf howl!
He used stone bullets, and there were a few copper bullets, but he was reluctant to use them.
After all, at this time, there is snow all around, and if the copper bullets are shot, there is a chance that they will not be found.
The shouts of the traders, and the howls of the dogs, similar to the howls of wolves, made the camp boil again after it had been quiet.
The person who had just fallen asleep for a long time hurriedly drilled out of the snow room, and in some of a hurry, he directly knocked down the entire snow room and smashed a piece of snow.
At the same time, a series of long wolf howls sounded on the periphery of the camp, setting off the quiet night in a very bleak and lonely manner.
Corresponding to the wolf howl, there were many dark shadows around the camp!
Wolves!
Wolves in a season like this!
Isn't that such a happy thing.
Wolves have never been an easy existence to provoke, especially in such a lack of food, the elder brother would rather have two more tigers than face the wolves.
"Stop! Stop it! ”
Some of the people who got out of the snow hut subconsciously drew their bows and arrows and were about to start shooting more and more wolves that were gradually approaching, and the senior brother heard the sound and quickly shouted to stop.
A few years of semi-farming did not make the elder brother forget about hunting, and he clearly knew the horror of wolves.
At this time, if you don't attack first, with the number of people on your side and the Fu who follow them, you can still stalemate with the wolves and confront them.
After a confrontation, as the sky turns bright, the wolves may retreat on their own.
If you take the initiative to break this deadlock at this time, then things will not be very good.
But it's not that the fifty people with bronze weapons of the Blue Sparrow tribe can't beat the wolves, but they are tough with the wolves, which may have injured or killed many people.
Again, there is no shortage of food in the tribe now, and the purpose of their trip is only to mine ore, so the senior brother does not want the people in the tribe to have any conflict with the wolves.
Because it's a loss from any point of view.
I have to say that there is a certain reason why Senior Brother can become the leader, not only based on his bravery, but also on his calmness and consideration of the overall situation.
Everyone did not attack again, and the second senior brother, who had already thrown a stone and ejected it, also stopped.
"Line up! Lined up! Pick up the big shield! Protect the deer! ”
The elder brother's shout rang out again, pointing the way to the panicked crowd and letting them know what to do at this time.
The training in the tribe has not been abandoned, and after a long period of training, the people in the tribe have already formed a conditioned reflex to some passwords.
At this time, when they heard the senior brother's command, everyone immediately began to line up, and then moved towards the place where the deer were located.
Because it happened so suddenly, but at night, some people did not find weapons in their panic.
For such people, the elder brother asked them to go back to the snow room and fumble for weapons.
Compared with the well-trained citizens of the Qingque tribe, the twenty slaves who followed were blind, and suddenly encountered such a situation, and they were so panicked that they couldn't do it.
The elder brother yelled at them several times, and they gradually quieted down.
As slaves, they have no weapons, and when they are suddenly in danger, they can only grab some snow from the ground indiscriminately, and hold it in their hands, whether it is useful or not, at least they have some dependence in their hearts.
At this time, the wolves were closer to the camp of the Blue Sparrow Tribe, and the front ones were not even fifty meters, and the hair on their bodies could be faintly seen.
and white teeth shining with some cold light against the snow.
There are many wolves, and there are at least more than fifty of them.
More than fifty wolves, against more than fifty people who did not have weapons in their hands, plus more than a dozen dogs who had not yet successfully transformed, there was really a conflict, and the people of the Qingque tribe could not pay a small price.
Fortunately, after a little further afield, the wolves stopped.
The two sides confronted each other like this, and the atmosphere was tense as if it was about to freeze.
