Chapter 146

As soon as the orcs who were changing the dressing left, Tama quickly washed his hands and sat down on the wooden bench.

"What's the emergency?" Tama asked directly.

"Master Witch Doctor, light beetles, a large number of light beetles are flying from west to east!" Even though Yinghe said it several times, his tone was still full of fear.

Tama, who was relatively calm at first, couldn't help but look shocked after hearing Yinghe's words.

"You mean, light beetle?!"

Tama confirmed again, and then his expression darkened after seeing Yinghe nod seriously without hesitation.

After thinking for a while, Tama asked about the specific situation, and a few minutes later, the roar of Xiangshan's beast resounded throughout the Sunset Tribe.

This is the tribe leader convening everyone for discussion.

Soon, each household sent an orc to the meeting cave.

The Meeting Cave was built by the Sunset Tribe, following the Phaeton Tribe's example, before the cold season arrived.

At this time, the meeting cave was already filled with orcs.

Xiangshan Tama, as the head of the tribe, sat directly in front of the herd, while Yinghe stood on one side.

He just once again talked about the situation he discovered when he went out for inspection. As expected, the orc companions in the meeting cave all had frightened faces.

Tama looked at the orcs in front of him and took a deep breath.

"The light beetle flies very slowly, but it may pass by the tribe's hills before dawn tomorrow at the latest."

Speaking of this, Tama's face became more and more serious. He looked at the beasts and said, "Many orcs should have heard of the light beetle. This is an insect that even ferocious beasts are afraid of."

"By the way, I will tell you everything clearly when I get back. There is no need to leave the cave after today's evening meal and tomorrow's morning meal."

"In addition, for each cave, you can discuss it yourself. Go out to chop some wood and move some rocks. Remember to seal the entrance of the cave tightly after dinner!"

……

Tama took the trouble to explain, fearing that the orcs would not take it seriously and cause a big problem.

When the beasts dispersed, only Xiangshan, Tama, Huishi and Wuye were left in the meeting cave.

After joining the Sunset Tribe, Hu Shi was naturally no longer the tribe leader.

But as a tiger beast, Hu Shi's combat power is also very strong, and as the original patriarch, Hu Shi's prestige is still not low among the orcs of the original Wushi tribe.

As for Wuye, even though he is no longer an official witch doctor, as a former tribal witch doctor, the witch doctor is still good at treating diseases and injuries.

The four beasts discussed in the meeting cave for a while, and then dispersed with serious expressions.

The Phaeton Tribe is half a day's journey east of the Sunset Tribe. Although orcs go out to check the surroundings every day, due to the bad weather, they basically only check within a half-day's journey of the tribe.

This is why, before the evening eclipse, everyone gathered in the Witch Doctor's Cave, but no one mentioned the light beetle.

After discussing the alliance, Su Yu and Xia Na returned to the cave and started working on their evening meal.

After dinner, I stayed in bed and had a good sleep until dawn.

The orcs of the Phaeton tribe didn't know that while they were sleeping beautifully, their neighbors, the Sunset tribe, were hiding nervously in the cave, being careful not to make too much noise.

The light beetle, as its name suggests, has a carapace that glows in the dark.

But when you hear the name, you will think that it is a very beautiful insect. When Su Yu heard the witch doctor talk about this insect, her first reaction was the same.

But then, after the witch doctor told her about the bug in detail, she no longer dared to underestimate any bug.

The light beetle is a carnivorous beetle, known as the "terrestrial tyrant" of the Beast Continent. As a bug, it is famous for being huge and carnivorous.

An average adult light beetle can be as long as Su Yu's two palms (30cm+).

The light beetle has a pair of sickle-shaped upper jaws with large teeth. Its thick and wide body is covered with a translucent shiny shell. It looks fragile, but is actually very hard.

The shell is covered with a pair of thin, almost transparent wings, which may be why the light beetle flies slowly.

But in addition to wings, light beetles also have six long legs that extend out, allowing them to switch between land and air at any time.

And, that's not the scariest thing.

The most terrifying thing is that the light beetle has a poison sac at its tail. When it encounters danger or prey, it can release poisonous mist at any time, knocking down enemies or prey within five meters of itself, making the beast defenseless!

Of course, after the poisonous mist is released, the light beetle will also be weak and basically "at the mercy of beasts".

But under normal circumstances, the enemies have all fallen, and as long as no new enemies come, the light beetle can just take a short rest and be the winner.

This is why when Su Yu and Xia Na mentioned the light beetle, Xia Na didn't ask any more questions.

Similarly, this is why the orcs of the Sunset Tribe looked so nervous when they heard the light beetles coming from the west to the east.

The light beetles do not fly very fast, and there is snow on the ground that is not suitable for the light beetles to crawl on. Therefore, it was already early in the morning when the light beetles arrived near the Sunset Tribe.

Even if they were not sure that the light beetle would definitely pass by, the orcs of the Sunset Tribe did not dare to sleep peacefully at night.

Until early in the morning, after hearing the rustling sounds outside the cave, the orcs in the cave were so frightened that they did not dare to make too much noise.

The cubs were held by their parents and stayed at the innermost side of the cave. The other orcs were as close as possible to the entrance of the cave, always paying attention to the condition of the wooden boards and stones at the entrance.

As carnivorous insects, light beetles are sensitive to the smell of "meat".

After entering the Sunset Tribe, the light beetle was keenly aware of the strong "meat smell" nearby.

After landing, the light beetles began a carpet-like search, and finally gradually gathered outside each cave.

Seeing that it was impossible to move forward, the "meaty smell" became increasingly intense, and the light beetle began to become irritable.

The irritable light beetle will subconsciously vibrate its wings quickly and then make a harsh sound.

Hundreds of light beetles flapped their wings at the same time, and the buzzing sound made the eardrums of the orcs in the cave hurt.

The adult orcs could still grit their teeth and endure it, but the underage cubs were gradually tortured by the harsh sound and started to cry out of fear.

Not finding a way forward made the light beetle angry.

However, when he heard the first cry of the cub, the irritable light beetle began to slowly calm down.

After confirming that there was "meat" ahead, the light beetle became more patient and began to think of ways to "eat meat".

At this time, their sickle-shaped upper jaws and large teeth play an important role.

Regardless of whether it is soil, wood, or stone, the light beetle will take several bites just to clear the way and eat the meat smoothly!
