Everyone is busy these days, busy storing food. Once Lin Mu was really tired, and he went home and fell asleep on the bed without even washing up. It made Patrik very distressed, so in the following days, Patrik made it very clear that Lin Mu should rest at home and was not allowed to go up the mountain again. It is okay to make some small snacks at home, but it is absolutely impossible to do laborious ones.
Lin Mu also knew that it was Patrik who was feeling sorry for him, and he couldn't bear to see Patrik worrying about him, so he simply didn't go out every day, and had nothing to do to make snacks, make wine, and live leisurely.
On this day, Lin Mu took out the recently collected red dates from the storage room. The candied dates he made before were enough to eat. Lin Mu was going to dry these dates for later cooking and soup.
Lin Mu was spreading out the dates to be dried when he saw Patrik walking in with a solemn face.
"Patric?"
Although Patrik was immersed in thinking, he immediately responded when he heard Lin Mu's voice, "Well, Mu Mu, are you drying dates?"
Lin Mu rolled his eyes in his heart, this is such an obvious thing, but seeing Patrik's obviously absent-minded look, he asked with some concern: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Patric didn't know whether to tell Lin Mu about this trouble.
Seeing Patrik hesitate, Lin Mu was upset, and complained, "What? What else do you want to hide from me?"
Seeing that the other party was unhappy, Patric quickly comforted him. He took Lin Mu's hand: "I just don't want to disturb you."
"You don't tell me that's what bothers me. I know there's something but I don't. Then you want to kill me!"
Patrik smiled, "Okay, okay, I'll tell you now."
What Patrik wanted to say was big or small—a group of wandering beasts had been found in the mountains where their tribe was located.
It turns out that because everyone doesn't live together now, they won't go out with as many people as before when hunting, and Patrik feels that the chances of being discovered by them hunting like this are also small, and their identity will not be exposed. tribe.
For the sake of safety, they are all used to fly more around the surrounding areas when they come back. One is to check whether there are orcs in their area, and the other is to avoid people who see them and follow them to find the location of the tribe. Today, when Lal was about to fly around the tribe after hunting as usual, he saw a group of wandering beasts camping in the woods. There were about twenty people. And their tribe is only more than twenty people.
Lal was worried that these wandering beasts would discover their tribe. Lal thought their tribe was so good that those wandering beasts would definitely snatch it from them, and there were still females in their tribe, so nothing could happen to them.
Lal knew they had noticed him, so he pretended to fly far away, and after flying far away, Lal quietly returned to the tribe from another direction. As soon as he returned to the tribe, he immediately went to Patrik and told him about it. He didn't want the good tribe to be destroyed.
After Patrik knew about this, he also knew the seriousness of the matter. The number of the other party was about the same as his own, and they still had weak females to protect. If they really let them discover their tribe, the consequences would be disastrous.
Patrik quickly summoned the orcs in the tribe to discuss this matter. Many people said that these wandering beasts must be driven out of their area, and they must not be allowed to discover their tribe.
Lal said anxiously: "Patriarch, let's call all the orcs. They can drive them away. Although their number is about the same as ours, we can definitely defeat them."
The orcs are aggressive. As soon as Lal said it, many orcs agreed. They absolutely believed in their own strength and would definitely be able to defeat those orcs.
Doesn't Patrik think that Lal's suggestion is good, send out all the orcs? There are also females in their tribe. If other orcs entered their tribe while they were away, the consequences would be disastrous, but if there were orcs staying behind, they would not have enough people. Patrik wasn't so arrogant that he felt that these orcs could defeat each other with a few versus many.
Patric recruited people who were emotional, "We can't send out all the orcs to fight them. When we go out, the safety of the tribe cannot be guaranteed. Have you forgotten? According to the rules, if two orcs are interested in an area at the same time, Then use the method of winning two out of three games to compete for hunting rights."
Wild beasts generally do not attack each other, except when competing for hunting areas. Generally, this kind of situation occurs mostly in autumn, because only at this time do people need a lot of food. And areas with plenty of prey are naturally the objects they compete for.
As for whether they are fighting for the hunting area of the orc tribe, they don't care about it, and the orc tribe generally don't care as long as the beasts don't hunt within the range outside their tribe. But as long as they enter their safe zone around the orc tribe, they will immediately attack the wandering beast.
The behavior of the wandering beasts may be a bit immoral to the people of the orc tribe, but they have their own rules, such as this method of scrambling for hunting. In order not to kill each other, they choose a more peaceful way of handling things.
When everyone heard Patrik's words, they suddenly thought of the previous rules. Maybe everyone no longer thought of themselves as wandering beasts after they had a tribe, so they subconsciously forgot about these rules. Now that everyone thought about it, everyone thought it was a good way, as long as they had three people to fight with them, as long as they won, the other party would have to leave obediently. Beasts are still very trustworthy.
Lin Mu listened to Patrik's story. Now that he has a solution, he doesn't worry anymore. Of course, he still has great confidence in Patrik for the duel. He believes that Patrik will definitely do it. win.
Lin Mu thought of the confrontation between the two wandering beasts. Thinking about that scene made people feel excited.
So Lin Mu couldn't help but asked with bright eyes: "Patrik, when you are dueling, can I follow and watch?"
Because the duel between beasts is very trustworthy, if Lin Mu wants to follow, there will be no danger. There will be no plunder among wandering beasts. Of course, wandering beasts with tribes are excluded from these rules. Because in Youshou's heart, a Youshou who has established a tribe is no longer a Youshou, and they can naturally snatch it. Of course, this is actually a kind of envy, jealousy, and distorted heart because they can't see others who are better than themselves.
As long as Patric doesn't let them discover his tribe, there will be no large-scale conflicts, and he has confidence in bringing Lin Mu and the others with him, so he doesn't have to worry about other situations during the duel. People still feel at ease where they can see it.
Lin Mu was very surprised that Patric agreed so readily, but Lin Mu was naturally very happy when he heard the other party agreed, and then said emotionally: "Come, help me dry the red dates!"
Patrik smiled and offered to help.
"When will you duel? Have you found the personnel yet?"
While putting away the animal skin bag containing the red dates, Patric said: "I have asked Jason to negotiate with them, and there will be a duel tomorrow if there is no accident. As for the selection of personnel, I want to call everyone for a meeting tonight to decide."
Lin Mu nodded, "Well, this is more democratic."
With a solution, the two of them were not affected by this incident, so what should they do, as before.
After a comfortable nap, Lin Mu got up and started looking for Huang Yuan and the others.
Huang Yuan and the others were not as generous as Lin Muxin. They didn't even take a nap, but it wasn't because they were worried, but because they were too excited. Suddenly there was a turbulence in the peaceful life, and it was a duel between orcs that they could follow to watch. Several people were very excited.
When Lin Mu found them at Huang Yuan's house, they were packing herbs.
"It's weird, why are you guys so interested in herbal medicine today?" Lin Mu said this to Lais and Sasha.
"Tomorrow they are going to duel with other wandering beasts, and they will definitely be injured. Prepare the herbs first to deal with emergencies. As for them, they are naturally for the sake of their beastmen." Huang Yuan put down the herbs in his hand , most of these are medicines used to stop bleeding.
Lin Mu also followed suit, and now helping Huang Yuan is also helping those orcs. Although he always thought that Patrik was very strong, it didn't mean that he would not be injured, so it is better to prepare more herbs.
Several people stayed together for an afternoon, and after packing up the herbs, they gathered together to weave and chat, talking about what preparations they would make for winter in the coming days, and they didn't leave until dinner time.
