Chapter 291 The Hunting Team Returns
The spring chill lingered, and the morning breeze carried a hint of coolness, but this did not deter the beastmen from their advance.
After five months of construction, the residential areas in the main city have been completed, and the basic road paving has also been finished.
After the house construction was completed, Lin Baiyan and Maoyu spent an entire night calculating, almost breaking the abacus beads, before they finally finished calculating everyone's work points.
The day Lang Cang and his hunting party return will be the day the tribe officially moves into the City of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Lin Baiyan counted carefully on his fingers. The hunting team had been gone for a month and a half. In the past, when they went hunting, it usually took about a month. It had never been this long before.
Lin Baiyan was a little worried. Before leaving, Lang Cang took the little peregrine falcon with him. Lang Cang sent a message back once to let him know that he was safe, but then there was no news.
Why not let Fatty fly once? Lin Baiyan silently pondered.
It's already April, and when Lang Cang returns, they should tell their people about their upcoming trip.
At this moment, Lang Cang, whom Lin Baiyan was talking about, was sitting on the ground bandaging his arm. Xiong Fei came over and asked, "Boss, how is it?"
Lang Cang shook his head. "It's nothing."
Seeing that his wound had stopped bleeding, Xiong Fei was relieved and said indignantly, "That bull king is too cunning!"
They chased a herd of bulls for two days and finally drove them to the vicinity of their trap. They had already captured them, but Huqiu got carried away and let the bull king charge out.
The Bull King nearly killed a male orc by using a feint attack, and Wolf Cang accidentally injured his arm while trying to subdue it.
Tiger Hill finally approached hesitantly, "Boss..."
Lang Cang glanced at him but didn't say anything, continuing to bandage his wounds.
Seeing this, Huqiu felt even more guilty, his face full of dejection. "Boss, I was wrong..."
"I shouldn't have been distracted."
Lang Cang tied up the animal hide and said in a deep voice, "You can receive your punishment when we get back."
Tiger Hill breathed a slight sigh of relief when he saw that Wolf Cang was paying attention to him. He nodded like a chick pecking at rice, "I will definitely not make this mistake again!"
Lang Cang stood up and looked at the hunting team behind him. "Let's rest here for a bit."
"Yes!"
At Lang Cang's command, the hunting team began to set up pots and cook.
The hunting team brought a lot of dried meat and vegetables with them when they went out. They poured these into a pot and added some dried sweet potatoes. It was a good meal with both meat and vegetables.
When male orcs go out hunting, they're lucky if they can get something hot to eat.
Under the twinkling stars, Lang Cang sipped his meat soup, calculating the total amount of prey he had caught on this hunt.
They've caught enough prey so far, and they should be able to head back tomorrow.
As Lang Cang was pondering this, a commotion arose on the outskirts of the temporary encampment. Not long after, Hu Qiu rushed in anxiously, "Lord, there's a bear-like beastman who's unconscious and covered in wounds."
Lang Cang frowned. A bear-shaped beastman?
He stood up and strode out. Several male orcs on the outermost edge of the temporary camp gathered together, and when they saw Lang Cang, they all made way for him.
Lang Cang approached the bear-shaped beastman, who was currently unconscious but missing an arm.
It's Xiong Chong.
The Giant Bear Tribe is thousands of miles away from here, so how did Xiong Chong suddenly appear here?
Could something have happened to the Giant Bear tribe? Wolf Cang frowned, wondering to himself.
He checked Xiong Chong's nostrils with his hand; he was still breathing.
He pinched the brown bear's three limbs again. There were no broken parts, but there were many wounds on the surface, and the one on the leg was so deep that the bone was visible.
"Carry him inside and apply some medicine," Lang Cang said in a deep voice.
Several male orcs carried the brown bear onto a wooden plank and took it to the fire.
Leopard Road took out a small medicine box, which was made by Fox River. Lin Baiyan put all sorts of small ceramic bottles inside, including hemostatic, fever-reducing, anesthetic, and antipyretic medicines.
The herbs were ground into powder and made into pills with honey and starch. It's not practical to brew medicine when traveling, so this is much more convenient.
Leopard Road found some hemostatic powder, first cleaned Xiong Chong's wound with water, and then sprinkled the hemostatic powder on the wound.
However, some wounds still wouldn't stop bleeding even after applying medicine. Leopard looked at them with great difficulty, "These wounds are too deep, they can't be healed at all, they need stitches."
Lang Cang said in a deep voice, "Then sew it up!"
Leopard Road gave a wry smile. "I haven't learned how to sew, so I'm afraid I don't have the high priest's skills."
"Put on the anesthetic powder and start right away. Any later and he'll probably bleed to death," Lang Cang decided with a single stroke of the hammer.
Judging from Xiong Chong's condition, he probably won't live much longer if he doesn't get stitches.
Leopard had no choice but to force the issue.
Fortunately, Lin Baiyan had prepared a small tuft of hair for them when he left, otherwise this group of male orcs would not have had enough hair to sew the needles.
Leopard Road first used scissors to cut the fur around Xiong Fei's wound, then sprinkled anesthetic powder on it, and began to suture it with fine bone needles.
Upon receiving the first injection, the unconscious brown bear seemed to sense it and let out a muffled groan.
Seeing this, Leopard became even more cautious. After an unknown amount of time, Leopard put down the last needle and tied a knot at the end of the hair.
Finally, we bound him with a layer of animal hide. Such a simple bandage was already quite good in the beast world.
After doing all that, he put a fever-reducing pill into Xiong Chong's mouth, saying, "He might have a fever today."
Wolf Cang made a quick decision: "Let's start heading into the tribe now."
For some reason, he felt uneasy. Xiong Chong's sudden appearance gave him a sense that a storm was brewing.
The hunting party set out and began to travel through the night. Xiong Chong was placed on an empty cart and looked after by a male orc.
The hunting party traveled day and night, and finally reached the outskirts of the territory four days later.
"High Priest, High Priest!" Just as Lin Baiyan was checking the account books, a voice suddenly came from outside, and then Yang Ye lifted the curtain and came in.
"what happened?"
Yang Ye's face was beaming with joy, "The hunting party is back!"
Lin Baiyan jumped up from his chair. "Where are we?"
"We've reached the East River now!"
"Let's go take a look!" Lin Baiyan took the lead and walked out, with Yang Ye quickly following behind.
He strode out of the tribe, but finding it too slow, he simply transformed into his beast form.
There were many other sub-orcs like him around him, all of whom were male orcs from their families who had gone out for a month and a half. Although they didn't say it, they were all worried about them.
Lu Xiao immediately transformed into his beast form, eager to see his big, fat bear.
The kitten was initially lagging behind, but with a burst of energy, it surged straight to the front.
Lin Baiyan admitted that he missed Lang Cang.
