After the first snowfall, the vigorous migration of animals on the plain will begin, and the siege of hyena dragons by various predators on the plain will gradually disappear.
The huge pothole between the two walls of Qi Ze City was also paved after the first snowfall. During this period, the orcs from the lion wolf tribe who were in charge of delivering information came twice, and once brought news of the battle between the wolves and a small group of hyena dragons. Once it was discovered that pterosaurs appeared on the plain.
Creatures like pterosaurs are actually somewhat similar to vultures. They like to pick up free food and can also eat carrion. It is basically impossible to take the initiative to hunt. Moreover, pterosaurs are afraid of heat, so they cannot fly in the sun for a long time. In summer, the sunshine is long, and there are no trees that can provide shade on the plain. It is really abnormal that pterosaurs will appear here.
Compared to the information conveyed by the lion wolf tribe, the situation in the forest is still normal. Various herbivorous dragons are still hanging around the edge of the forest, and even many porpoise dragons have reappeared to the edge of the forest for food. Everything seems to be the same as before. What a big difference.
When the animals on the plain began to migrate and gathered together, the orcs in Qi Ze City also organized a large-scale hunting event, during which they caught a few animals that were still alive and put them in the greenhouse. In addition to these animals, Azhang also took people to the Chishui River to catch a lot of fish and threw them into the moat. The moat was repaired once in summer, and the river surface was much wider. It would not be a problem to raise a few fish.
In addition to the storage of meat, the second batch of crops planted in the tribe began to mature as winter approached. This time the planting area was very large, and it took several days to harvest.
When the patrol team went to the edge of the forest to inspect, they got some willow seeds back, and Chen Qi directly planted them on both sides of the moat. At the moment, only buds sprouted, and I don't know if they can survive the severe winter. However, Chen Qi saved some of the seeds for summer use, so he was not worried about whether the willow trees would survive.
As the migratory army on the plain slowly began to gather, the black pterosaur also slowed down. After leaving the leader of the hyena dragon, it easily hunted down several batches of predators on the plain with its newly acquired subordinates. With the end of the first snow, the black pterosaur also had to avoid the edge of the plain animals that were ten times or a hundred times more numerous than himself. They found a deserted small rock mountain to repair. The black pterosaur stood on the top of the high mountain, looking coldly at the army of animals passing by in darkness not far away.
Several pterosaurs fell from mid-air, and they flapped their wings and walked to the leader docilely, reporting the results of their investigations one by one. After hearing this, the eyes of the black pterosaurs lit up and asked the hyena group to stay where they were and wait for orders. With the wings of several pterosaurs exploring the way, they crossed the vast plain and headed for the destination.
Because the migratory army has almost cut off the road across the plain, the black pterosaur has nothing to do recently and has been a little flustered. When he saw the strange orc tribe below from the high rocky mountain, the light in his eyes became even brighter.
This tribe is completely different from the tribes that the Black Winged Dragon has seen before. There are a lot of orcs, and they are busy coming and going on the reddish-brown city walls. The Black Winged Wings did not come to the plain last winter, but they also Had heard the hyena leader say something about a tribe with reddish-brown walls.
The tall red-brown city walls surrounded the entire orc tribe, and the black pterosaur could clearly see the situation below from a high place. If these walls were in front of them, it would be difficult for the hyena dragons alone to capture them. of.
The black pterosaur half-closed its eyes, flapped its wings, and planned to take a closer look.
"Hoo." There was a crisp piercing sound, and the sharp arrow passed by the black pterosaur's forehead. The black pterosaur was startled. Kankan stopped moving forward, and flapped its wings down twice. , raised a certain distance, looked intently, and saw the orc on the reddish-brown city wall playing with a strange thing.
Seeing that the arrow missed, the orc in charge of aiming clicked his tongue lightly. Ah Xiang looked at the pterosaurs stopped in mid-air, and gave an order to those orcs who had already aimed, "Continue."
"Hoo, hush." The dozen or so siege crossbows facing the pterosaurs on the city wall released arrows at the pterosaurs one after another. This time the black pterosaur was prepared, and with the distance, the power of the arrows was reduced. Quite a few, the black pterosaur dodged by flipping up and down deftly.
However, the pterosaur closest to the city wall was unfortunately hit by an arrow, which happened to hit one side of the wing. The pterosaur suffered from pain, became unstable and fell to the ground.
The huge noise hit the ground and collapsed a piece of grass. The black pterosaur looked at it calmly. Since following the leader of the hyena dragon to the plain, perhaps because of the large number of hyena dragons, the few orc tribes encountered were easily killed. They were wiped out, because it was too simple, and the black pterosaur still felt a little boring. I didn't expect to find such an interesting orc tribe now.
Looking at the black heads on the city wall, the black pterosaur, which hadn't eaten for a while, suddenly felt empty in its stomach, and forced to suppress the idea of rushing down to eat something, and took the rest of the pterosaurs up a little further. After making sure that those strange arrows would not hurt him, he started circling around the lion wolf tribe.
The distance is too high, in fact, the black pterosaur can't see it clearly, but it enjoys the feeling of staring at its spare food. It gives an order to one of the pterosaurs, let it tell the leader of the hyena dragon what he found, after all, it is the other party. If you bring yourself out, you have to tell the other party when you meet so many orcs.
"What should we do now?" Ayan looked up at the pterosaur that had been hovering high in the sky, with a little worry in her eyes. The pterosaur can fly. If it suddenly flies down and grabs someone before people are not paying attention, they will also run away. helpless.
"Transport a few siege crossbows on the city wall into the tribe, and shoot the pterosaurs as soon as they intend to rush into the tribe."
A Yan took the order to retreat and make arrangements. Fortunately, these pterosaurs didn't intend to attack the lion wolf tribe immediately, they just wandered around in the sky for a long time before leaving, but Ah Xiang didn't dare to relax, he sent someone to pass the news to Qize City, and then sent the tribe away. The defensive arrangement speeded up the progress.
Compared to the situation where the lion wolf tribe either found hyena dragons nearby or was spied on by pterosaurs, Qi Ze City can be said to be very stable and peaceful. Except for groups of migratory troops passing by the door, Qi Ze City did not find any danger Signs of approach.
With about half a month before winter, Qi Ze City has finished all the stored food and the traps for defending against hyena dragon attacks. Except for making arrows and other consumables, Qi Ze City's For the time being, the orcs had no other urgent work to do.
During this period of time, the little wolf cub was still going out every day to collect milk and fruits for the little bun, and basically stayed on the city wall at other times. Chen Qi didn't know what the other party was looking at, and he could only see the little wolf cub staring at the Chishui River every day The direction is lost. But Chen Qi didn't have time to worry about what the little wolf cub was doing. Since Azhang came back, they built a simple little house in a corner of the tribe far away from their residence, and hid in it every day to mess around with a few old women. gunpowder.
The peaceful days always pass very quickly. When Chen Qi discovered that Chen Xiaobaozi could stand upright, the first snow in winter had already fallen, and the whole plain became quiet, without any trace of living things moving. Zecheng is like a lonely boat in this vast snowfield, it looks extremely lonely.
Watching Azhang carefully bury the newly prepared gunpowder in the outermost withered grass, Chen Qi tightened his animal fur coat. Although the temperature dropped sharply in the first winter, it was not the coldest yet. of. Chen Qi patted the little wolf cub's hair that had become a lot more fluffy, and signaled him to go home with him. Now that he has done almost everything, the rest depends on when the hyena dragon comes.
After being busy for several months in a row, Chen Qi suddenly relaxed, but his mood became strangely calm. The little wolf cub walked in front of him, stepped on the wooden ladder neatly and jumped down the city wall, leaving a lot of scars on the snow with his four paws. Deep traces, when there is another snowfall, the snow on the ground will be thicker, and the ice city wall can be built again.
However, to Chen Qi's surprise, until most of the winter was over, when Chen Xiaobaozi was able to call his father in a childlike voice, there was no sign of the hyena dragon coming near Qi Ze City, but there were a few herbivores Sexual dragons wandered around Qi Ze City and became a delicacy on the table of orcs.
Compared with Qi Ze City, the lion wolf tribe encountered the hyena group earlier than them, but the leader of this group of hyena was a black pterosaur.
Since the last time I came to spy on the lion wolf tribe, the black pterosaur has been interested in this strange orc tribe. Unfortunately, the leader of the hyena dragon seems to have no interest in this tribe. Once the migratory army on the plain leaves, the black pterosaur He hurriedly took his subordinates to the lion wolf tribe, it couldn't wait to enjoy its own food.
"Are you leaving?" Seeing that the man finally moved, the leader of the armored dragon hurriedly stood up, and the thick snowflakes that fell on his body last night fell to the ground. clean up.
"Well. I'll take you to see a very interesting tribe." Thinking of the sudden evacuation last winter, the corners of the man's lips curled slightly, that stupid giant wolf god thought he could fool himself with his own life, the man Instead, he was suddenly curious as to what the other party was trying to hide from him.
"Let's go quickly." The leader of the armored dragon couldn't wait to urge them. They have been here for several months, and they could go out to play with the animals on the plain before. In addition, all the armored dragon leaders here have long been bored, especially some time ago, the black pterosaur spread the word that they found a fun orc tribe, and the iron armored dragon leader has long been itchy.
No matter how anxious the leader of the armored dragon was, it still patiently waited for the leader of the hyena dragon to leave before following. Let's go, all of them follow behind neatly, there are a few birdsong from the sky, and a group of pterosaurs fly in front, paying attention to the surrounding situation for the mighty army on the ground.
