Without stopping, they rushed directly to the lumber base in the south. There were some snowflakes on Daidai and Ye Qiong's bodies, all of which had been shaken down from the trees.
After arriving at the southern base, Ye Qiong still had no intention of staying. The soldiers here also knew that something was wrong with the tribe.
However, for the second-line warriors, they still didn’t know about the eyeless monster. Last winter, those who participated in the battle between the cave and the eyeless monster were the most powerful warriors in the tribe.
In the eyes of the soldiers on the second line, the newly built defense line on the east side is also to defend against monsters. After all, even if they see eyeless monsters, in their eyes, those eyeless monsters are no different from ordinary monsters.
The reason why Ye Qiong separated the eyeless monsters separately was because he felt that those eyeless monsters were different from ordinary monsters.
After coming out of the timber base, Ye Qiong rode Daidai and continued all the way north. This time Ye Qiong had no intention of returning to the tribe. When he was about ten kilometers away from the south gate of the tribe, he saw a straight path leading to the cave. The road over there.
This road was forced out by Daidai, but now it is much more convenient.
Ye Qiong rode along this new road in a daze, and after about fifteen minutes, he saw the scene on the other side of the cave.
"Chirp...chirp..."
Before he reached the defense line, Ye Qiong heard that strange cry. It was still fresh in Ye Qiong's memory. When he was in the cave last year, those eyeless monsters made this strange sound. .
After being hunted, but before dying, they make this very strange sound.
It's a bit like the sound of a mouse, but much louder. After all, their size is comparable to that of low-level monsters.
If they are inside the cave, the overall strength of those eyeless monsters is stronger than that of low-level monsters, but after leaving the cave, it is unknown. Ye Qiong has to go and see for himself.
The defense line was already in front of them. After hearing the voices of those eyeless monsters, they immediately entered a fighting state.
Before they even arrived, a figure ran over from the other side of the defense line. It was Ronling, the person in charge here.
Ronling looked at Ye Qiong and Dudai, but he didn't expect that Ye Qiong could rush over from the waterfall base so quickly. It was still bright at the moment.
"Uncle Rong, how are you? How many casualties are there..." Ye Qiong turned over and jumped off Dudu's back. He looked at Ronling and asked worriedly.
Ronling looked at Ye Qiong, raised his chin at Ye Qiong, and motioned for Ye Qiong to follow him. As he walked, he said: "There are no casualties yet. There are not many eyeless monsters rushing out. From morning to now, a total of Five waves came out, each wave was small, about a dozen, and now it’s the sixth wave.”
Ye Qiong nodded, if according to what Ronling said now, those eyeless monsters simply ran out to die.
Leaving Daidai to stay where he was, Ye Qiong followed Rongling and climbed up to the current stone city wall defense line. The seven-meter-high city wall was almost half narrower than the tribe's stone city wall.
The width is only about two meters, which can barely accommodate three archers standing back and forth without looking crowded.
While Ye Qiong and Ronling were talking, the wave of eyeless monsters that rushed out had already been dealt with by the archers.
In a battle of this level, it would not be the turn of the Yili archers and front-line warriors to take action at all. The Bandanli archers could easily solve it with wooden arrows.
Ye Qiong is actually quite concerned about one issue right now, and that is the flesh of these eyeless monsters...
Can it be eaten?
Although this thing looks ugly, compared with scavengers, it is actually just that. For humans on the snow planet, they have long been accustomed to treating scavengers as food that can be hunted in winter.
As for those eyeless monsters, as long as the meat is not poisonous, the people will not be picky about their food. As for the quality of the meat, humans who can eat the sour meat of scavengers actually don't care about the taste in order to save their lives. .
After being cooked and air-dried directly, the meat with little moisture tastes the same when dipped in seasonings.
Ye Qiong looked towards the cave and saw nothing unusual. It seemed that the holes made by these eyeless monsters were still in the cave.
It doesn't seem to be very big, so the number running out each time is not very large.
Judging from the number of eyeless monsters Ye Qiong and the others encountered in the cave last winter, these ones that have emerged now are probably cannon fodder, coming out to explore the bottom.
Without eyes, if they want to move outside, there is only one way, and that is to rely on sound waves to determine the location and direction of enemies or prey like bats.
Ye Qiong couldn't even imagine why these eyeless monsters would come out if they were not staying in the cave.
Logically speaking, there are only two situations, either to come out to find food, or to expand the territory.
Humans will launch wars for resources. In the final analysis, there is only one reason why Warcraft launches wars, and that is...
food!
Ye Qiong can only understand that they have some shortage of food in the cave. Like the beast tide, they have to go out in winter to compete for food from humans, and even use humans as food.
Since the number of eyeless monsters emerging is not very large, the soldiers must be careful and at the same time continue to work hard to expand the defense construction here.
With the current overall strength of the Ye Qiong tribe, it is true that the problem of eyeless monsters can be temporarily eliminated. If you are braver, you can even use this place as a kitchen. If the meat of the eyeless monsters is not too unpalatable, , which is a beneficial thing for the tribe.
Heronling continued to stand on the defensive wall for a while, and Ye Qiong saw the seventh wave of eyeless monsters rushing out.
A few hundred meters away, they arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye. A total of more than a dozen eyeless monsters were close together, like a small team, running towards the defense wall. After reaching a distance of about fifty meters, a large number of eyeless monsters appeared in the air. Dozens of wooden arrows were shot at them.
After two rounds of shooting, all the eyeless monsters below fell on the snow. The soldiers were not in a hurry to collect the corpses. In winter, if the monsters are hunted, their corpses can be preserved for a long time. After death, they will be preserved for less than a year. Within an hour, my whole body was so frozen that I couldn't press it. It can be kept fresh for a long time, so it doesn't matter when I pick it up.
Ye Qiong looked at the eyeless monsters who were still struggling on the ground. He was thinking that with the current defense wall, the overall strength of the soldiers, plus the giant crossbows and repeating crossbows, the ones that Ye Qiong had transported back recently Black armor and weapons.
What is the saturated number of eyeless monsters that can be defended without casualties...
