"No." This time it was Long Xiu who answered.
They were far away at the time, having just arrived, and were standing closest to the tribe, so they did not witness the entire process.
All we know is that Xie Man led the orcs to find Huang Tian.
Hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao frowned, but when she saw the cubs, her eyes softened again.
"Then just have a good rest at home today. Mom will go out for a while and come back to make you something delicious."
The cubs are all very sensible and smart. They know how to seek benefits and avoid harm, and will not put themselves in danger easily.
Hu Jiaojiao thought about it and gave a serious reminder:
"Mother won't stop you from going out and growing up, but remember to be careful in the future. Safety comes first. If anything happens to you, mother and father will be very worried."
"Don't worry, mother. We are not five-year-old cubs anymore." Long Zhong curled his lips, raised his chin, and said complacently.
"You are a six-year-old cub." Long Xiu added.
Long Zhong: “…”
"A six-year-old is much better than a five-year-old!"
He glared at Long Xiu with dissatisfaction and said stubbornly.
This guy, his eyesight has improved and he talks more.
Hu Jiaojiao showed a doting smile on her face, "Mother believes that you can protect yourselves."
After making sure that the cubs were not affected, Hu Jiaojiao went out.
She had to discuss countermeasures with the patriarch.
After all, it was she who kidnapped Fengsheng and the orcs from the Canglang orcs. I think the other party must have a lot of hatred for her.
The tribe is in the development stage.
On the premise of ensuring safety, Hu Jiaojiao's focus is on building the tribe.
But if there are safety risks, they must be resolved.
The kids all knew that something happened in the tribe, so they stayed at home and didn't go out to cause trouble.
Hu Jiaojiao also went out with peace of mind.
Her children are the most obedient and don't give her any worries at all.
Not long after I went out, I saw the tribe leader and Xie Man coming towards me.
Hu Jiaojiao's home is remote, and no orcs would come here on their way. As soon as Hu Jiaojiao saw them, she knew that they had come to find her, so she took the initiative to greet them.
"Jiaojiao, we are just about to go look for you!"
When the clan leader saw Hu Jiaojiao, a kind smile appeared on his face.
"Chief, you are here to strengthen the tribe's defense, right?" Hu Jiaojiao knew what the chief was thinking without having to guess.
When something happens in the tribe, the first thing to do is to prevent the same situation from happening again.
"Jiaojiao, you are so smart. You knew what I was going to do before I even told you." The clan leader said with admiration.
Hu Jiaojiao saw Xie Man behind the clan leader.
"Did Huang Tian find it?"
She looked at Xie Man and asked.
The kids said that Xieman was responsible for finding Huangtian.
Hearing Hu Jiaojiao's voice, Xie Man was stunned for a moment before he nodded in sudden realization.
A hoarse voice replied:
"We found Huang Tian. He was slightly injured, but not fatally. However, the Canglang orcs escaped."
Xie Man subconsciously told Hu Jiaojiao every detail of the situation.
"That's good."
Hearing that Huang Tian had been found, Hu Jiaojiao felt relieved.
She looked at the patriarch again.
"The tribe's defenses are actually quite sufficient. I think what's missing is another key."
"What's the key?" The patriarch was a little confused.
"Vision."
Fox Jiaojiao answered slowly, "The walls of the tribe are very strong, and there are traps, but if a few orcs sneak up on the tribe, the traps won't be completely effective. It would be great if we could find out in advance."
After hearing this, the patriarch understood.
"Then I will send more orcs to patrol." The patriarch said immediately.
Fox Jiaojiao shook her head.
"Adding more orc patrols is not a long-term solution. The tribe is so large, and I don't know how many orcs are needed to patrol the walls alone. This is a waste of the orcs' time."
Everyone has to hunt and work, and even if they take turns, it greatly shortens the time they have available to them.
The tribal wall is like this, not to mention the rabbit pen.
Hearing this, the clan leader became distressed.
"What should we do? There is no other way."
This is the only stupid method they have. It is tiring, but for safety reasons, there is no other way.
"We can build a lookout tower. The lookout tower can see very far away. As long as we arrange orcs with better eyesight to take turns on guard, we can save a lot of manpower every day." Hu Jiaojiao explained seriously.
Although the bird-type orcs can also achieve the same effect by flying.
But flying is also very tiring, not to mention maintaining that altitude all the time.
Even the machines will break down.
Before, the tribe was small and we only had to guard the gate. Now that the tribe has grown, there are more hidden dangers. This time it was the rabbit circle, and next time, no one knows where the accident will happen.
If there was a lookout tower, the Canglang orcs today might not have had the chance to get close and would have been discovered long ago, let alone capture Huang Tian.
"Lookout?"
The clan leader and Xie Man were very curious about this new word.
Hu Jiaojiao briefly explained to them the function of the lookout tower.
"This lookout tower is a good thing!" The patriarch was a little shocked, but soon became worried again.
"But we can't build such a high observation tower, right? Won't it collapse if it's so high?"
The tallest buildings the orcs had ever seen were the wall and the two-story stone house of Hu Jiaojiao.
They had never even thought of building twenty or thirty meters high like the one described by Hu Jiaojiao.
"The Beast God told me a method in a dream. I can let my third brother give it a try." Hu Jiaojiao has great confidence in Hu Qinglu.
She had just thought of building a lookout tower. She had to discover problems before she had a chance to solve them.
The clan leader slapped his forehead and said, "Yes! How could I forget Hu Qinglu? He has been very good at tinkering with these weird things recently."
The chief becomes excited when talking about things that can benefit the tribe.
"Jiaojiao, do you have time now? Let's go find Hu Qinglu right now?"
Hu Jiaojiao nodded, "Okay."
The chief turned to look at Xie Man again and said, "As for the trap, I'll let other orcs teach you some other day. Let's see if we can build the lookout tower today."
Xie Man had no objection to this.
Even if the patriarch didn't teach him, he had no objection.
Not to mention that the clan leader is a man of his words and there are more important things at hand.
The three of them came to Hu Qinglu's house again.
After winter passed, he moved his things from Hou Xiaotiao's place, and Qingzhuan still burned paper at Hou Xiaotiao's place.
He has no partner and still lives in a wooden house, but the yard has been expanded several times to store some of his bottles, jars and strange things.
Even so, his yard was still filled to the brim.
When the three of them arrived at the courtyard, there was only an aisle wide enough for two people to enter and exit, and there was only a few square meters of open space around it.
Hu Qinglu was sitting in the open space, looking down and fiddling with something.
The matter was of great importance, so Hu Jiaojiao stepped forward and briefly explained the matter of building the lookout tower to Hu Qinglu.
Knowing that he could help, Hu Qinglu was willing to do so.
He was really looking forward to this new thing!
