For a middle-aged man, he had nothing to regret about his attack on Ye Qiong last night. After all, there was a young giraffe in front of him, and next to him was a young man who looked young.
Considering the survival of hundreds of people in the tribe, he doesn't feel that he has done anything wrong.
Today, the middle-aged man is still a little confused about Ye Qiong's rescue of them. In the world of Snow Star where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the strong, only by taking care of yourself and your tribe first can you survive for a long time.
Looking at the young man in front of him, the middle-aged man felt very complicated, but the reality is that without this young man, all of them would basically be 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..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Qiong waved his hand at the middle-aged man and interrupted what he was about to say: "Take away the corpses of your tribe members first. The dead are the most important."
A sentence that overturned the world view of a middle-aged man. On the Snow Star, when people in the tribe died, there was actually no ceremony. Most of them would be hastily buried. Especially in the summer, busy work makes it too late for humans. sad.
In winter, if it weren't for the invasion of beasts or food problems, the natural mortality rate of humans would be very low. The former is helpless, while the latter is just letting nature take its course.
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, but he felt relieved. It seemed that the young man did not mean to blame them, so he quickly dealt with the injured first, and then put several corpses on the spot. Buried directly.
As for the corpses of the thirty-seven scavenging beasts, they were all piled together.
After packing everything up, 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 monsters are your trophies, if you don't mind , our brothers can help you transport these scavengers back to your tribe. There is no way to repay the life-saving grace. If you need to be dispatched, just say it!"
Ye Qiong looked at the corpses of more than 30 scavenger beasts piled together, but he didn't actually have much interest in them. The most important thing their tribe lacked now was food.
Now Ye Qiong is more curious about why a small team of only a dozen people attracted more than thirty scavengers. You must know that scavengers rarely appear in groups on Snow Star. Because they have a very keen sense of smell and feed on carrion, they do not need to hunt in large groups.
A single scavenger can survive the winter of the Snow Star.
The presence of so many scavengers made Ye Qiong feel a little strange.
As the saying goes, there must be monsters when things happen!
Ye Qiong and his tribe still have six teams exploring the area in the wild. If they encounter so many scavengers, the end can be imagined.
After carefully questioning Liang Yi, Ye Qiong also got a rough idea of the situation.
Liang Yi's tribe is about fifteen kilometers away from here. It is a small tribe with a population of more than 300. There are only less than fifty combatants. These fifty people have to feed the elderly, children and women. You can imagine how hard it is. , there are only twenty Snowy Demonic Wolves in the tribe. As a tribe, it can be considered poor.
After being busy all summer, they did not collect much supplies and food. After winter arrived, they settled in a valley fifteen kilometers away from here.
Just as nine months passed, the tribe was in urgent need of supplies and food. They could save some money on supplies and would not affect life safety, but the shortage of food forced them to let the soldiers Come out to collect edelweiss and hunt scavengers.
If the soldiers cannot collect enough edelweiss or hunt enough scavengers in these two months, then they will have to kill the Snow Demon Wolf to satisfy their hunger in the later period, and the Snow Demon Wolf will After the slaughtering, if spring has not arrived yet, the cruelest results will occur.
Currently, there are no livestock suitable for breeding on Snow Planet...
Or perhaps they gradually became extinct after entering the Ice Age.
Their team, which originally had a total of twenty people, encountered a few lone scavengers while collecting edelweiss. They easily killed them, and then the team dragged the scavengers with them. After picking up the corpse of the beast, he continued to collect edelweiss. Because he did not bring out the snowy demon wolf, he moved very slowly.
The team that seemed to have a good harvest soon encountered disaster. Just a simple snowstorm 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 they collected a lot of edelweiss, it was simply impossible to feed a tribe. They could only bring the materials and food in their hands back to the tribe first, and then risk their lives again. Danger comes out.
And this location is exactly the way they want to go back. After meeting Ye Qiong and Daidai last night, they became greedy and wanted to capture the long-tailed bear back.
As for why these scavengers on the ground appeared in large numbers, they themselves couldn't figure it out.
After Ye Qiong analyzed it, he couldn't figure out the reason, so he began to worry more or less about the team in the tribe who went out to explore, including Ronling and his second uncle Ye Tianling.
Scavengers suddenly increase in number nearby. For human tribes, there are two situations.
For tribes that are short of 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 carcasses of scavengers, then looked at Liang Yi and said, "I'm not interested in these meats, but according to what you just said, even if you take these meats back, , can't solve any problem. There are more than 300 people. The total of these meats is only about one and a half tons. If you live frugally, you can eat it for a month. Now there is half of the winter. What are you going to do for the remaining eight months? What to do? Looking at your current fighting power, going out to hunt again is no different from seeking death..."
Liang Yi sighed and said rather helplessly: "As a small tribe, there is no way. Our tribe does not have long-tailed bears, but only dozens of snow-covered demon wolves. Less than half of them are old, and a few are just born." The cubs cannot go out hunting, so this summer, very few supplies and food were collected. The food in the tribe can only last for two months now, and after two months..."
Liang Yi couldn't continue. On Snow Star, everyone knew very well what would happen if a tribe ran out of food storage.
