Chapter 25
As for the middle-aged man, he had nothing to regret about attacking Ye Qiong last night. After all, there was a juvenile long-tailed bear in front of him, and next to him was a young boy who looked young.
For the sake of the survival of the hundreds of people in the tribe, he doesn’t feel that he is doing anything wrong.
Today, the middle-aged man is still somewhat puzzled about Ye Qiong saving them. In the world of Xue Xing, where the strong eat the weak, he must take care of himself and his tribe before he can survive for a long time.
Looking at the young man in front of him, the middle-aged man’s mood is very complicated, but the reality is that without this young man, all of them would basically explain it here today.
So the middle-aged man stepped forward, looked at the young man in front of him and said, “Little brother, it was us last night…”
Ye Qiong didn’t wait for him to finish, then he waved at the middle-aged man and interrupted what he was about to say: “Take up the corpses of your tribesmen first, the dead are the greater.”
A sentence that subverts the world view of middle-aged men. On Xuexing, people in the tribe die. In fact, there is no ceremony. Most of them will be hastily buried. Especially in summer, busy work makes it too late for human beings. sad.
In winter, if it is not for the invasion of beasts or food problems, the natural mortality rate of human beings is very low.
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard the words, but his heart was relieved. It seemed that the young man didn’t mean to blame them, so he hurriedly dealt with the injured people first, and then put a few corpses on the spot. Buried directly.
As for the corpses of the thirty-seven scavengers, they were all piled up together.
After finishing everything, the middle-aged man walked towards Ye Qiong again and said, “Little brother, my name is Liang Yi, we are from the Yutang tribe, these beasts are your trophies, if you don’t dislike it , our brothers, you can transport these carrion beasts back to your tribe for you, the life-saving grace will not be repaid, if there is anything that needs to be dispatched, you can say it!”
Ye Qiong looked at the corpses of more than 30 scavengers stacked together, but he wasn’t really interested in them. What their tribe lacked most now was food.
Now Ye Qiong is more curious about why a small team of only a dozen people will attract more than 30 scavengers. You must know that scavengers rarely appear in groups on Xuexing. Because they have a very good sense of smell and feed on carrion, they do not require large-scale group hunting.
A single scavenger can survive in Xuexing’s winter.
With so many carrion beasts appearing together, Ye Qiong felt a little strange.
As the so-called impermanence, there must be a demon!
Ye Qiong and his tribe still have six teams exploring the area in the wild. If they also encountered so many carrion beasts, the fate of them could be imagined.
After careful cross-examination of Liang Yi, Ye Qiong also knew a general situation. Liang Yi’s tribe is about 15 kilometers away from here. It is a small tribe with a population of more than 300 people. There are only less than 50 combatants. These 50 people have to support the elderly, children and women. You can imagine how hard it is. , There are only twenty snow demon wolves in the tribe. As a tribe, it can be regarded as a poor clanking.
After being busy for a whole summer, they did not collect much supplies and food. After winter came, they settled down in a valley fifteen kilometers away from here.
Seeing that nine months have passed, the tribe’s supplies and food are both in urgent need. The supplies can save some use and will not affect the safety of life. However, the shortage of food forced them to let the soldiers Come out to gather edelweiss and hunt scavengers.
If the warriors cannot gather enough edelweiss or hunt enough scavengers in these two months, then they can only slaughter the snow demon wolves to satisfy their hunger in the later stage, and kill the snow demon wolves. After the slaughter, if spring has not come, then the most brutal results will occur.
At present, there are no livestock suitable for breeding on Snow Star…
It may also be gradually extinct after entering the Ice Age.
Their team originally consisted of 20 people. When collecting edelweiss, they encountered a few scavengers who were alone. They killed them easily, and then the team dragged the scavengers along with them. The corpse of the beast continued to collect edelweiss, because the snow wolf was not brought out, so the movement speed was very slow.
It seemed that the team had a good harvest, but disaster soon followed. It was just the most ordinary snowstorm that directly took the lives of five of them, and the feet of the remaining two were also injured.
The scavengers also consumed half of it. Although a lot of edelweiss was collected, it was impossible to support a tribe. They could only bring the supplies and food in their hands back to the tribe, and then risk their lives again. Danger out.
And this location is the way they want to go back. After meeting Ye Qiong and Danny last night, they became greedy and wanted to capture the long-tailed bear.
As for these carrion beasts on the ground, they couldn’t figure out why they appeared on a large scale.
After Ye Qiong analyzed it, he couldn’t figure out the reason, so he began to worry more or less about the teams in the tribe going out to explore, including Rong Ling and his second uncle Ye Tianling.
The sudden increase of scavengers in the vicinity, for the human tribe, can be divided into two situations.
For tribes lacking food, it can increase more hunting opportunities, but it also increases the difficulty of hunting.
After analyzing for a while, Ye Qiong looked at the piled up carrion beast corpses again, then looked at Liang Yi and said, “I’m not interested in these meats, but just listen to what you just said, even if you take the meat back , it can’t solve any problems. There are more than 300 people. The total amount of meat is about one and a half tons. If you eat frugally, you can eat it for a month. Now there are half of them in winter, and the remaining eight months. What are you going to do? What to do? Look at your current combat effectiveness, and then going out to hunt is no different from courting death…”
Liang Yi sighed, and said helplessly: “It’s a small tribe, there’s no way, our tribe doesn’t have long-tailed bears, there are dozens of snow-covered wolves, half of them are old, and a few are just born. There is no way to go out hunting, so this summer, the materials and food collected are very small, and the food in the tribe can only last for two months now, and in two months…”
Liang Yi couldn’t go on. On Xuexing, everyone knew what would happen to a tribe without food storage.
