Don't mess with that dragon

Chapter 43 Cave
"Phew, these bloody bastards, don't let me see you again!"

The captain, the lizardman Rodney, was sitting on a rock, exhaling heavily, while the orcs beside him were also panting.

After all, they failed to catch up with the group of hyenas, and they fled away.

This is not surprising. Although the physique of those orcs is much stronger than that of humans, they are still not as good as these four-legged animals that live in the forest and are used to running away.

"Captain Rodney, just let them run. If you go further, you may meet people from other tribes."

One of the orc team members panted and persuaded Rodney. They had followed the group of hyenas for more than ten miles. If they were farther away, they would be in danger if they left the territory of the dragon's nest.

"Well, if this is the case, forget it. Anyway, those damn thieves probably won't dare to enter this area again in the future. Take a rest and prepare to go back."

Rodney took a long breath and weighed it in his heart. Although he was a little unwilling, he could only stop here.

It is impossible for them to continue chasing away from the Dragon's Nest territory and fall into a dangerous environment.

What's more, these hyenas have been expelled from the territory of Dragon Nest, at least they will not cause any trouble to the territory.

A group of orcs rested for a while, ready to leave.

At this moment, there was a loud bang in the sky, and rain fell from the gloomy sky. A large amount of rainwater poured down, hitting the leaves in the mountains and forests, making a splashing noise. At the same time, Thunder and lightning flashed between the dark clouds, and the rumbling thunder resounded throughout the world.

Rodney looked up at the sky where it was pouring rain, and couldn't help cursing:
"Damn the weather!"

At this time, the cold winter has just passed, the snow on the ground has not completely melted, and the temperature in the air is still a bit cold. If you are drenched by this icy rain, your whole body will be chilly. How will it feel good.

"If you don't want to get caught in the rain, find a place to shelter from the rain."

Rodney roared loudly, and all the orcs immediately dispersed.

"Report to the captain, there is a cave here!"

Soon, an orc team member not far away shouted loudly.

A group of orcs walked quickly through the forest with their necks hunched in two or three steps, and ran quickly in the direction of the source of the sound.

It was a cave hidden under a cliff tens of meters high. The entrance was surrounded by vegetation, and sharp stalactites hung from the irregular top of the cave. It was obviously a naturally formed cave.

A group of orcs searched around and found no poisonous insects or beasts, so they rested in the cave.

The sky outside was still raining heavily, and the wet orcs were trembling in the cool wind blowing through the air.

"Damn it, who is going to start a fire, this damn rainy weather!"

Under Rodney's cursing, several orcs soon lit a fire in the cave. Fortunately, this cave has been formed for many years, and there are finally some dry branches and leaves on the ground. , the surrounding cold was also expelled a bit.

"Captain Rodney, the last time you were punished by Captain Pooh to lock you up in the dark room for your gluttonous food, didn't you tell that kid to look good after you said it? What's the matter now?"

"Damn it, Alyosha, don't mention this to me anymore. When you become stupid in the future, I will let you close the small black room and see if you can still be so proud!"

"Hahaha"

A group of orcs warmed up in the cave, sitting around each other and talking about various things that happened in the territory. They laughed happily when they talked happily. Military training is indeed a good thing. It made these orcs become a group of strangers. Together, the companionship and friendship between them is not comparable to that of ordinary orcs.

Suddenly,
There was a rustling sound from inside the cave.

"what sound?"

Even if they talked to each other to relieve boredom, there were always orcs with sensitive ears who heard the voice.

"There's no business, you heard it wrong, right?"

As he said that, an orc took out a flaming firewood from the fire and held it up high, illuminating the scene inside the cave.

"That is!!!"

Looking at the flames, Rodney's eyes widened in shock, and his pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a pinprick.

In the dark corner deep in the cave, there were pairs of densely packed eyes reflecting blue light, hiding in the darkness and watching them quietly, the hideous figure was stretched out in the firelight, as if in the darkness A devil with teeth and claws.

It's a spider!
A spider bigger than an orc!Densely gathered in every corner!
Looking along the light of the fire, in the depths of the dark cave, you can still see dense white bones and white spider silk all over the ground, and young spiders are constantly crawling among the spider webs.

The environment in the depths is particularly scary.

With the passage of time, Longchao Village has also entered a stage of rapid development.

With the passing of the cold winter, some poor tribes began to migrate. Some orcs got separated during the migration process and diluted into the Kava forest, becoming orc wanderers. They were then attracted by the white smoke column and joined the Dragon Nest tribe. .

Although in this Kawa Great Forest, the burning smoke column does not absolutely represent life, and some evil and cruel orc tribes will also use this method to attract wandering orcs to turn them into food when they lack food, but compared Surviving a life of wandering in the wild, with an [-]% chance of success, is worth the risk for those wandering orcs suffering from hunger and cold.

Therefore, as the cold winter passed, the number of wandering orcs attracted by the white smoke from the nearby hills not only did not decrease, but increased a lot.

The increase in population has brought enough productivity to the Dragon Nest Tribe.

The orcs who have undergone military training have strong discipline and good cooperation ability. Austin also taught them various small methods and skills of hunting in the previous life. The food needs of a population that has increased in magnitude.

However, the blue young dragon also knows that although such a large-scale elimination of wild beasts has brought enough food to the orcs of the Dragon Nest tribe in a short period of time, as the wild beasts in the territory are hunted and killed in large numbers, they will not want to use the same method in the future. It is not so easy to get enough meat by the means.

Still, Austin isn't worried about that.

In the early spring, he launched a campaign to clear and kill the beasts and other secondary predators near the Dragon Nest Territory. The biggest purpose was to create a relatively safe environment for the Dragon Nest Territory, not to obtain food.

In his plan for this year, if one or two things can be realized, plus the usual hunting and gathering income, then this year's cold winter will basically not have to worry about food and clothing.
