Crossing to Live in the Wilderness Plains

When the little wolf cub heard Chen Qi's question, his body stiffened for a moment, he burrowed into the blanket again, and hummed uneasily twice.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Chen Qi was worried that the little wolf cub would be bored, so he took a step forward and lifted the animal skin blanket while coaxing him, "Little wolf, can you let me have a look?"

The little wolf cub has a high IQ, which Chen Qi discovered not long after he picked it up. Although it can't speak, it has a certain reaction to the conversations of the orcs. Chen Qi once thought that the little wolf cub was not Can understand what they are saying.

The animal skin blanket trembled a bit, perhaps because of being stuffed for too long, the breath from the little wolf cub was a bit rough.Ah Jing stood beside him anxiously, holding the corner of his clothes tightly, not understanding what happened to the little wolf cub.

"Let me do it." A Li gently pushed Chen Qi away, signaling him to stand aside, then he twisted a corner of the blanket, gently patted the moving body of the little wolf cub with one hand, and wiped the animal skin with force with the other hand. One corner of the blanket was lifted, and when the little wolf cub was about to pick up his paws to pull back the raised animal skin blanket, Ali twisted the other corner with his other hand, turned it over vigorously, and brought up a piece of plush After the downy hair was released, the animal skin blanket covering the little wolf cub was completely lifted off.

Chen Qi looked in amazement at the little wolf cubs who were gathered together. Not only did the little wolf cubs lose a lot of hair on his body, he even lost a large piece of hair on his face, as if he had been ripped off alive. The same, plus the big misty eyes of the little wolf cub, it looks pitiful.

The three people present all gasped, and then they were filled with heartache. Chen Qi wanted to touch the little wolf cub's head to comfort him as usual, but who knew that just as his finger brushed it, he took off a big handful of white... Mao, he was so frightened that he dared not do anything again.

"A Li, what's going on? Do you know?" Chen Qi asked A Li a little at a loss. He had never raised animals, and A Jing took care of even the little wolf cubs. He usually helped Feed some food, and occasionally pluck a hair.And the little wolf cub has always been very healthy and smart, so he doesn't need much care at all.

A Li squatted down to check, and pressed the little wolf cub's body with his hands to prevent him from getting back into the animal skin blanket.

However, although the little wolf cub looks miserable on the outside, and his spirit is a bit depressed, his body does not seem to be a big problem. Before he met the little wolf cub, Ali's knowledge of the giant wolf god was just word of mouth. Naturally, it is not clear why the giant wolf god suddenly sheds his hair in the winter.

"Uncle A Li, is the little wolf okay?" Seeing that A Li didn't speak, Ah Jing's eyes were red with anxiety, and he didn't dare to touch the little wolf cub.

A Li shook his head, "I can't see what's going on, it looks no different from the normal hair moulting phenomenon." A Li stood up and comforted him: "There is nothing wrong with the little wolf's body, let's observe it for a few days Bar."

"Multing? Why does the little wolf moult in winter?" Ah Jing was puzzled.

Orcs also moult, but they usually molt in summer, and at that time their hair has already been retracted, so the hair that has changed is not obvious.But the moulting of the giant wolf god is obviously completely different from what Ah Jing knew. How cold is it in winter?If the beast moults in such weather, without enough fur to keep warm, it will not last a day at all.

But now the wolf cub's hair not only started to fall off slowly, but also didn't look like it was going to grow new hair, which made Ah Jing worry, what if the little wolf cub couldn't survive the weather?A Jing stepped forward and put the lifted animal skin blanket back on the little wolf cub, probably feeling A Jing's depressed mood, the little wolf cub stuck out his pink tongue, licked A Jing's face, and sighed He let out a low cry of comfort.

Since they couldn't see the problem, they had no other choice. Chen Qi went to make some milk, fruit and meat for the little wolf cub, and A Li cleaned up the white hair that was brought out when he lifted the animal skin blanket just now. stand up.

After eating the food, the little wolf cub continued to sleep in a group by the fire. Although it had been seen by several people, it obviously didn't want to expose its current appearance to others. The little wolf cub covered his whole body. They all huddled into the animal skin blanket, only willing to leave one nose to breathe outside.

A Li stayed for a while and found that he had nothing else to do, so he went back to the studio in the school, but Chen Qi stayed and accompanied A Jing to take care of the little wolf cub.

At night, when Aze came back from the handover, he saw the little wolf cub like this, and built a temporary bed for the little wolf cub by the fire, covered it with several layers of animal skins, and replaced the quilt with Chen Qi's furry snow bear cape.

The little wolf cub lost its hair very quickly, half of the beautiful layer of white hair on his body fell off the next day, and he could clearly see the pink and tender skin inside, as ugly as it was.

During the period, when other people in the tribe heard that the little wolf cub was sick, they brought his favorite meat to visit. Seeing someone coming, the little wolf cub wrapped himself in the quilt again, refusing to let others see his current appearance. appearance.Chen Qi was heartbroken and funny at the same time. In the end, he had no choice but to accept all the meat brought by everyone, and then briefly mentioned the current situation of the little wolf cub to them, telling them not to worry and let them leave first. .

On the third day, all the hair on the little wolf cub's body fell out, even though he was hiding in the snow bear's fur, he kept shaking. Chen Qi lit another fire behind him to warm the whole room. It’s getting better, the only consolation is that the little wolf cub’s appetite has not been affected in any way, except that he is hairless, afraid of the cold, and needs to hide at home every day, which is not much different from usual. Don't worry too much, it will still get up and walk a few steps, but the snow bear's animal skin cloak has become its new fur, and it has never been taken off.

Chen Qi directly modified another piece of clothing made of furry snow bear animal skin and gave it to the little wolf cub. With the cover of the clothes, the little wolf cub was finally willing to wander around the room when he was not sleeping, but the two The fire never went out again, and Ah Jing also moved his bed out of the room in order to take care of the wolf cub, and slept next to the fire with the wolf cub every day.

Chen Qi thought that the little wolf cub's hair would grow back soon, but until the first siege crossbow was completed, the little wolf cub still looked bald.

The arrows of the siege crossbow are made of wood. The weather is too cold to forge iron arrows. Instead, I have made a few bone arrows and tested them with the pterosaurs hanging around. , can injure the Hyena Dragon, but cannot penetrate it. This kind of lethality is far from enough to kill the Hyena Dragon, but it is better because this weapon has a long range and does not need to fight the enemy in close quarters. It can greatly reduce the beast loss of people.

Chen Qi was naturally not satisfied with the current effect, so he took the orcs to continue researching in the studio, hoping to make a more lethal siege crossbow.

In these days of making bows and crossbows while taking care of the little wolf cubs, the time passed quickly, and Ah Xu and others who were sent to exchange information in the lion wolf tribe also came back.

This time, Ah Xu and the others did not meet any hyena dragons on the road, but they brought back a piece of bad news from the lion and wolf tribe.

Except for Ajiu's tribe, many surrounding tribes were wiped out overnight by the hyena dragon. A few orcs who were as lucky as Ajiu escaped from the siege of the hyena dragon, and they fled into the nearby small tribes In the village, after the news was passed in, those small tribes dragged their families and defected to the lion wolf tribe.In just a few months of winter, the lion wolf tribe has added thousands of people. Except for the males and children, many newly joined females do not have enough houses to live in, so they can only settle outside.

The Lion Wolf Tribe couldn't accommodate the sudden influx of people. In order to let the females have a place to rest temporarily, the Lion Wolf Tribe opened several caves on the side of the rock, but also because of the number of people joining, the Lion Wolf Tribe The guard work is more stringent, they are close to the Dosa River, and there is no need to worry about the lack of food.

It’s just that the locust dragon group that didn’t return last time finally confirmed that most of them stayed and settled near the Dosa River, and a small part was suspected to have crossed the Dosa River. A locust dragon seems to have appeared on the opposite side of the Duoza River.

This news made Qi Ze City once again shrouded in a tense and gloomy atmosphere, but no one mentioned that they would abandon Qi Ze City and take refuge in the lion and wolf tribe. I am speeding up the action in my hands, hoping to have enough weapons to protect the safety of the tribe before the hyena dragon strikes.

The work of going out on patrol has been changed from once a day to three times a day, and the number of teams has also increased several times. It is necessary to be able to carry out patrol work while ensuring their own safety.

After the seventh time a porpoise dragon fell into the trap, the traces of the antelope dragon and the rabbit dragon began to be seen slowly on the plain, and occasionally a lone locust dragon walked out of the plain, but soon returned to the forest. After a patrol team found Stegosaurus near the forest, they closed the patrolling area for a while. Obviously, Stegosaurus had no intention of stepping out of the forest yet.

Shaking off the snowflakes that fell from his body, Chen Qi untied the cloak and put it on the hanger beside the fire to dry. After leaving the fur cloak of the snow bear for the little wolf cub, Chen Qi now has to mentally prepare himself several times every time he goes out. Jianshe, if it wasn't for the lack of glasses here, he really wanted to cover his eyes before going out.

Standing by the fire to warm up his body, Ah Jing handed him a warm dry towel, Chen Qi gently wiped off the water droplets on his eyelashes from the melted snow, and looked at it for a while. The little wolf cub, whose eye sockets were covered with animal skin, only revealing a pair of big black eyes and nose, asked softly, "How is little wolf today?"

Ah Jing nodded, "Little Wolf also ate well today, and he ate more than yesterday."

"Wow." The little wolf cub let out a soft cry, as if echoing A Jing's words.

Chen Qi leaned over and patted the cub's head through the animal skin, "Has the little wolf not started to grow hair today?"

Hearing this, the little wolf cub licked Chen Qi's cold fingers and lowered his head.

The little wolf cub’s hair has been shedding for more than a month, but there is no sign of it growing back at all. At the beginning, everyone was worried for several days. There was no physical discomfort, so I was relieved slowly, and I could only cook something delicious for it to make its hair grow earlier.

"It's okay, even if the little wolf has no hair in the future, I will still like the little wolf as before." Ah Jing promised.

Chen Qi smiled and rubbed the heads of the two little guys in admiration.

A few people played around for a while and Aze also came back. Aze is now in charge of patrolling and does not need to go to the city wall to guard, so Chen Qi has not been on the city wall recently.

Help Aze take off the white cloak covered with snowflakes outside, and seeing the serious face of the other party, he asked suspiciously: "Did you find out anything today?"

Aze wiped his wet hair with a dry towel, and nodded, "The number of dragons around has started to decrease again in the past two days."
