Hu Jiaojiao took out a large bag of drawings from her pocket.
Building a watchtower is no small matter, and the blueprints are naturally much more complicated and tedious than those for catapults and other weapons.
Hu Qinglu took the drawing and took a look at it.
He seemed to be born with an extremely strong sensitivity to these things. He quickly put down the drawings and grinned at Hu Jiaojiao, assuring her:
"No problem, little sister. Give me some time. I'll take care of it."
"Thank you for your hard work, Third Brother." Hu Jiaojiao nodded with a smile.
The clan leader and Xie Man were both a little surprised to hear Hu Qinglu agreed so readily.
Seeing this, the tribe leader said to Xie Man:
"Let's transfer manpower from your side. Building the observation tower will probably require more manpower."
"Okay." Xie Man nodded. This meant that he wanted them to participate, so he naturally would not refuse.
Now that the lookout tower issue had been resolved, they felt relieved.
"Chief, let's set up some more traps outside the rabbit pen." Fox Jiaojiao suggested, thinking of the cubs who often go in and out of the rabbit pen.
There are traps outside the rabbit pen, but not many, and they are limited to some animal traps.
When the rabbit pen was first built, considering that there were no tribes nearby and no orcs would come to steal the rabbits, the traps and the thorns on the walls were enough to deter the wild beasts.
The cubs are not greenhouse flowers and will have to go through this sooner or later. The patriarch does not think that what happened today was a bad thing.
You grow by going through danger.
But this does not prevent them from adding another layer of protection to the rabbit pen.
Hearing this, the clan leader nodded without hesitation, "I think so too."
That’s settled.
It was still early, and Hu Jiaojiao accompanied the tribe leader and Xie Man to the rabbit pen to teach them how to set new traps.
This time, Xieman called over a hundred orcs.
Traps are still useful, but the chance of hitting the target is not 100%.
So, Hu Jiaojiao set up hidden ropes around the outside of the rabbit circle. The two ends of the ropes were connected to landmines. As long as the ropes were touched, they would explode. They might not necessarily kill the target, but they would definitely expose the target and alert the tribe.
The rope is made of animal tendons and wrapped with green grass. The grassland is overgrown with weeds for three seasons a year and the shrubs are as tall as a person. After it is hidden, it cannot be found unless you trip over the rope.
If an orc was lucky enough not to stumble.
There were three layers of rope traps inside and outside, Hu Jiaojiao didn't leave any room for this possibility at all.
It is perfect for dealing with orcs that are sneaking up on you.
The mines had been stored in warehouses long ago.
Fox Jiaojiao taught everyone on the spot, and the beastmen learned very quickly and became proficient in just half an hour. However, the rabbit circle was too big, so it would take some time to finish everything.
The clan leader was afraid that she would be tired, so he didn't let her wait here and let her go back first.
Hu Jiaojiao was not pretentious. She couldn't help much by staying here anyway. Once the males became skilled, they could work much faster than her.
After returning to the tribe, she went to see the progress of the school.
Because the construction area is large, the school takes more time.
This is just the beginning, and it will take more than a month to complete the construction.
But Fox Jiaojiao was not in a hurry. After visiting the school and expressing her condolences to Monkey Xiaotiao and the orcs who had built it, she went home to fulfill her promise to make delicious food for the cubs.
Five days later.
The trap outside the rabbit circle was finally completed.
The clan leader came to find Hu Jiaojiao for a checkup.
After the trap was set, the chief did not allow the orcs to walk around underneath it at will, except for those orcs who were very familiar with the trap, for fear of accidentally hurting their own people.
When Hu Jiaojiao came to check, she was sitting on the back of a bird-type orc.
Looking down from the sky, there was nothing unusual outside the wall. The thick green enveloped the earth, full of vitality.
Looking further into the distance, you can see a lush and green mountain range with towering peaks.
The forest in spring is full of dangers.
Hu Jiaojiao knew that place was not much safer than the trap below.
The orcs who go out hunting every day come back with some injuries.
With the arrival of spring, veterinarians have become noticeably busier.
These traps and walls are their protection.
"How is it, Jiaojiao? Do we need to add other traps?" After checking, the clan leader looked at Hu Jiaojiao expectantly, like a child waiting for praise.
"No need to add more, this is enough." Hu Jiaojiao shook her head, "Chief, you have worked hard during this period."
"Oh! As long as the tribe is safe, it's not a big deal." The chief didn't care and said with a smile.
"Thanks to you for setting these traps, otherwise we would have to waste time patrolling over and over again. If we talk about hard work, it's you who has done the hard work."
The two returned to the tribe.
The patriarch took out two large animal skin bags from somewhere.
"This is the fruit I picked today. Take it back and eat it."
Hu Jiaojiao took it, and the bag was full of red fruits, which were unique to the animal world. She had never seen them before and didn't recognize them.
One bag weighs at least twenty kilograms.
Winter has just passed and fruits are very scarce at this time.
Many females are tired of eating meat and cannot even eat fruit.
She was a little helpless, "Chief, I have too much food at home to finish it all."
The prey delivered every day would fill up her warehouse.
"You have six cubs, how can you not finish the food? Eat more. The cubs are growing, so they should eat more."
The patriarch didn't care about that and said stubbornly.
In the eyes of orcs, appetite and strength are equal.
Hu Jiaojiao understood that this was the good intention of the clan leader and did not refuse.
The chieftain and the orcs of the tribe were helping her openly and secretly. Just based on this, she knew that everything she did for the tribe was right and worthwhile.
…
The other side.
Lu Li, who was running naked in the wind, also woke up.
He was awakened by the cold. When he opened his eyes, he saw that his view was blocked by towering trees. It was chilly all around and he was completely naked in the cold wind.
Lu Li shuddered, his mind still a little confused.
There was a flickering fire not far away. Lu Li turned his head and saw several orcs sitting by the fire, roasting meat.
The roasted meat made a sizzling sound, and the aroma of the meat seemed to have grown legs and drifted into his nose.
But he was not in the mood to eat at the moment.
The firelight shone on the faces of the orcs, and Lu Li's mind became clear in an instant.
I also recalled what happened before I fell into a coma.
He was caught!
These are the Gray Wolf Orcs!
Lu Li's face, which was already pale from the cold, became even paler. He shivered and turned over to the ground, arching his body like a caterpillar, trying to escape.
With the previous experience as a lesson, the Gray Wolf Orcs tied his hands and feet with vines.
"Boss, the cub is awake and he wants to escape!"
A Canglang orc heard the noise and turned around, then saw Lu Li who had not even crawled out one meter, and immediately shouted.
