In the evening, they were the only orc family having dinner, and the meal was simple.
After a tiring day, Hu Jiaojiao cleaned up the kitchen after dinner, and the cubs went back to their rooms to rest and did not disturb her.
Hu Jiaojiao also felt sleepy and went to bed early.
The next morning, when Hu Jiaojiao opened her eyes, it was still dawn outside.
I went to bed early yesterday, around nine o'clock in the evening, so it is probably only around five in the morning now.
After a night's sleep, Hu Jiaojiao had regained her energy. She was no longer sleepy, and her bright eyes were instantly clear.
She didn't stay in bed any longer and got up and put on her clothes quickly.
When Long Mo is not around, she tries to live a fulfilling life every day and not let her mind wander.
Sometimes depression is caused by random thoughts.
Hu Jiaojiao went into the kitchen and prepared breakfast. She was afraid that it would get cold, so she put it in the pot and left a low fire under the stove to simmer it so that the cubs could have a hot breakfast when they woke up.
Hu Lin and the others should start work today.
After all, Hu Lin is her second father, so naturally she has to go and help.
If she doesn't help, it's her mother who will be worried.
Hu Jiaojiao came directly to the gate of the tribe.
As she expected, the turtle orcs and giant lizard orcs had already gathered here. The three brothers Hu Qingshan, Hu Qinggao, and Hu Qingyuan also came to help. Hu Qinglu didn't have time to come because he had to study the watchtower.
There were also many orcs from the tribe who came with them. All together, there were a total of four hundred orcs gathered here.
This is not a small number.
They all have some free time and come here voluntarily to help.
There is no need for a patriarchal organization at all.
The turtle orcs and giant lizard orcs felt the enthusiasm of the tribe and were very moved. They had only been here for one day, but they already had a sense of belonging to the tribe.
Following the leader here was indeed the right choice!
At Hu Jiaojiao's suggestion, Hu Lin finally decided to build the road first.
After the road is repaired, we will build the tribe.
Otherwise, the orcs would waste too much time and energy running back and forth, and it would also be inconvenient to transport materials.
Anyway, the valley has a superior geographical location, so there is no need to build a wall. We only need to guard the place where the water flows in and the entrance of the valley to ensure 100% safety.
Even for the bird-kind orcs, it would be very difficult to fly in from the mountain.
Orcs are very active and will start doing things as soon as they say they will.
It was Hu Jiaojiao who proposed the idea of building the road, so naturally Hu Jiaojiao was the one who took charge.
"Divide into forty teams, with ten orcs in each team. In each team, five orcs will clear the roadblocks and five orcs will build the fences."
"Each team selects a team leader to come to me to get the map. Each team is responsible for a distance of 500 steps. The first team to finish will continue to repair the next step..."
Hu Jiaojiao commanded the orcs in an orderly manner and assigned tasks to each orc.
The orcs did not hesitate and quickly divided into teams according to her requirements. They received maps and lined up to go to their mission areas.
The maps were all drawn on sheepskin, with a line drawn on it with black paint and various symbols around it. This was the road they were going to build.
These orcs are very honest. They are building their own roads and homes, so there is no need to worry about them being lazy, so Hu Jiaojiao did not set any rules to prevent them from being lazy.
Soon the orcs were busy.
Building a road in the forest is not an easy task, but Hu Jiaojiao does not plan to make it complicated. She only needs to clear a clean path for walking and cover it with gravel to prevent weeds and plants from growing wildly and covering the road.
Then put up tall fences on both sides of the road.
Then we can transplant the thorns from the rabbit pen.
Although it cannot guard against orcs, it can resist ordinary wild beasts.
If the orcs knew that another tribe was in danger, they could rush there as quickly as possible via this road.
As for the method of rapid summons.
Hu Jiaojiao has already thought about it.
Just use cigarettes!
In ancient times, smoke signals were used to send messages during wars, and this is very appropriate here.
The orcs have good eyesight, and even though the two places are far apart, they can see each other as long as there is enough smoke.
If orcs attack, we can catch them in a jar.
However, Hu Jiaojiao felt that, apart from the Canglang Tribe, no other tribe would be so stupid as to attack their tribe.
According to Hu Jiaojiao's method, the progress of road construction was accelerated by at least dozens of times, and the orcs were full of enthusiasm.
As the road goes along, one twentieth of it has been built.
This kind of thing requires quality rather than quantity, so Hu Jiaojiao is not in a hurry.
For the following period of time, Hu Jiaojiao came every day to help repair the road.
The days pass quickly.
…
At the same time, in a dense and dark forest.
A group of orcs were struggling forward.
The entire forest seemed to be shrouded in a gray fog, and things a few meters away were almost invisible. Here, the orcs' keen eyesight was useless, and they could only rely on other senses to judge danger.
But even so, these orcs had a layer of animal skin covering their eyes, blocking their vision completely.
Walking in front was a tall and handsome male.
His angular face looked even more stern in the mist. Even though his eyes were covered, he still led the orcs behind him forward calmly and unhurriedly.
The orcs also held in their hands a long rope made of torn animal skins into long strips.
All the beastmen held their breath and no one dared to make a sound. Even their breathing was so light that it was almost inaudible.
I don’t know how long I walked.
The familiar chirping of insects in the forest rang in the orcs' ears, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The chirping of insects proves that this area is relatively safe.
The orcs stopped to rest.
However, he did not dare to take off the animal skin covering his eyes. He could only rely on his hearing and hands to grope his way to sit down and eat the dry food he brought with him.
They have been searching in the Wild Soul Forest for more than ten days.
They didn't dare touch anything in the Wild Soul Forest.
When we first came in, an orc ate the fruits he found in the Wild Soul Forest in order to save food, and became paralyzed.
There was also an orc who saw something in the forest. He became stupid and crazy from time to time. When he returned to normal, he shouted wildly, saying that he saw an elf and asked them not to look around.
Only then did they realize that even if they made eye contact with the elves, their spirits would be seduce away by them.
So for everyone's safety, Long Mo simply suggested walking with their eyes blindfolded.
The Wild Soul Forest is mysterious and unpredictable, but as long as you can't see it, you can avoid most of the dangers.
Because of this, only two of their group of beastmen won the prize.
The remaining orcs also became alert, trying their best not to fall behind, and fought very united all the way.
After eating and resting, Long Mo continued to lead them on the road.
According to Feng Sheng, if you enter the Wild Soul Forest and walk for fifteen days, you will reach the area where the Lingshuangzhi grows.
This thing is of no use to elves.
So there are usually no elves guarding nearby.
But the further you go inside, the greater the possibility of elves appearing.
It is said that the most powerful orc only walked inside for twenty days.
When they first came in, an orc was attacked. If they had not been blindfolded along the way, there would probably be only a few left.
With the appearance of the chirping of insects, other sounds gradually began to reach the orcs' ears.
"Ah... they are blindfolded..."
"Why don't you look at us? Aren't we pretty?"
"Pick it off, pick it off, stay here and play with us~"
