They shouldn't rot so quickly.

After talking with Lu Yong and getting the whole story, Lu Gi finally understood the situation.

In simple terms, they were skinning the corpses of the starving wolves and hyenas.

After all, animal corpses could rot if left too long, and everyone wanted to process the meat quickly.

However, when it came to the four hyena corpses, they had only processed halfway before they couldn't stand it anymore.

The strong smell of wild animal blood and flesh was normal.

But the problem was that the odor from the hyenas was not just strong, it was foul.

The overpowering stench made them doubt whether the meat was even safe to eat, prompting them to find Lu G, the chief to make a decision.

Holding his nose, Lu Gi took a glance at the four hyena corpses.

Just by looking, he couldn't tell much of a difference.

After stepping back a bit to find a relatively fresh air spot, he seriously recalled the research he had done earlier.

A few minutes later, Lu G slapped his forehead as he remembered that hyenas were scavengers and their meat should be inedible due to parasites which could cause illness.

However, just throwing them away would be a bit wasteful.

After considering the usefulness of the four hyena corpses, Lu G made up his mind.

He decided to have the hyena skins removed and given to the armory.

These creatures had tough skin and would make good hard leather armor.

As for the meat and bones, they were inedible and could cause illness, so they should be burned.

If it were people from other tribes, they would definitely think their chief had gone mad upon hearing this.

In this era, having food was good enough.

Who would be so picky? However, the situation in the Ming Jing tribe was relatively special.

The food issues were mostly resolved everyday.

And under this premise, everyone naturally did not have a strong attachment to the four fouls smelling hyena corpses.

Although it felt a bit wasteful since the chief had said to burn them.

They would just burn them.

Lu G felt that this matter should be taken seriously to prevent someone from eating it and even causing an infectious disease which would be deadly.

To prevent anyone from being reckless, he directly ordered Luo Yong and Xiaopan, two of his most loyal men, to supervise together.

After skinning the hyenas, they had to personally watch the four corpses burn to ashes before reporting back to him.

As for himself, he followed the original plan and took the leather armor design to the armory.

Since armor was also part of the armory, the little fox, who had previously ignored Lu G, was now eagerly examining the new design.

After confirming a bunch of detailed questions with him, she turned around and continued to immerse herself in her research.

Chapter 83.

Period of bad luck.

As the first festival celebration in the lives of the people of the Ming Jing tribe, everyone was lively around the bonfire, singing, dancing, chatting, and eating, celebrating late into the night, reluctant to let the annual event come to an end.

for Loajia who was already sleepy and wanting to rest.

This was undoubtedly a disaster, feeling quite miserable inside, but he had no one to complain to and could only silently resolve to sleep in the next day.

After all, the development of the tribe had already entered a stable phase, and he thought it shouldn't be a problem to occasionally sleep in.

Yes, that was what he thought.

However, early the next morning, still not fully awake from his sleep, Loa, sporting dark circles under his eyes, realized after hearing the report from his subordinate, Zhao Yu, that after experiencing a streak of good luck with the discovery of the two five-star talents, the little fox and the black jackal, he seemed to have fallen into a period of bad luck and had yet to escape from that terrible misfortune.

The saber-tooththed tiger was merely the beginning.

Chief, we have found traces of a hyena pack near the outer woods of the tribe.

Damn.

Loajia tugged at his hair, which was almost a bird's nest by this point, feeling both frantic and frustrated.

It was definitely the location exposed yesterday.

He had been so careful, but still escaped the noses of those hyenas.

After a brief outburst of emotion, Lajia's gaze quickly fell on Joy.

What's the situation now? The hyenas haven't charged at us directly.

They just keep lingering around the edge of the woods, making it inconvenient for the hunting team to come and go.

The captain and the others have already set up a defensive line on the perimeter.

This is outright hooligan behavior.

Upon hearing the hyena's actions, Laj's face twisted in disgust.

In any case, notify the hunting teams to avoid that area for the next few days and try to detour around it.

After saying that, Luagia clearly had no intention of sleeping in anymore.

He immediately put on his fur coat and rushed towards the training camp of the Ming Jing tribe chief.

Seeing Laja arrive at the front line just in time, Lu Yong and the others including the Black Jackal breathed the sigh of relief.

Without Luajia's orders, they couldn't act rashly.

Facing the distant hyena pack, they felt somewhat passive.

So Luajia's arrival was a good thing for them.

What about the hyenas? Lajia asked directly.

They're over there.

After speaking, Lu Yong pointed irritably into the distance, clearly annoyed.

Every time we approach, they run away.

When we step back, they come back, too, not engaging us at all, just blocking us there.

Following Lyong's direction, Lajia immediately spotted seven or eight hyenas lingering in the distance, neither approaching nor leaving.

But they couldn't let their guard down because this pack was looking for an opportunity.

If they relaxed their vigilance for even a moment, these disgusting ancient hooligans would definitely pounce.

Are they treating this place like a breeding ground? Lajia felt furious, never expecting that one day he would be blocked at the city gate by a bunch of beasts.

Thinking back, he seemed to have used similar hooligan tactics against the youth chief tribe before, feeling a strange sense of what goes around comes around.

It was definitely heaven playing tricks on him.

Yet, he had no intention of changing his ways.

Ultimately, it was because the stonethrowers couldn't te inflict effective damage on these tough- skin creatures.

At this moment, if only he had a team of archers with their penetrating power.

These animals would be nothing but live targets.

Are the stone throwers not here yet? Thoughts raced in his mind.

When he left, he had instructed Xiaoan to bring all the stone throwers from the tribe with their stone ammunition.

However, carrying those heavy stones, the stonethrower's pace was clearly not going to be as fast as his.

After waiting for a while, Ziaoan finally arrived with the stonethrowers.

Seeing Xiaoan and the others covered in sweat, Luia raised his hand, signaling them to catch their breath before speaking.

Originally, including Xiaoan, there were five stone throwers in the tribe when expanding the forces.

Considering the unique position of the stonethrowers in city defense and the potential player invasion that might occur in two months, Luagad decisively selected five relatively talented newcomers from the 10 recruits to join the stonethrowers team, forming a squad of 10.

And now all 10 were here.

Taking advantage of their break, Lajia pointed at the group of hyenas lingering in the distance.

See that? Those are the targets.

Perfect for you newcomers to practice.

Shoot boldly and the front line will have warriors to protect your safety.

After giving instructions to the stonethrowers, Luajia, turn to Lu Yong and a few other warriors.

Lu Yong Hai, you two each lead seven warriors to guard here in rotation.

When one team is on guard, the other team goes to the training camp to supervise the training of the five new warriors.

Also, since the stone ammunition is relatively limited, when a stonethrowers run out of stones, the team on duty at the time will go pick them up.

Three will collect the stones and four will stand guard.

If those hyenas dare to charge while you're picking up stones, then fight them.

Take down one if you can.

Lajius said this with great intensity.

Despite the limited damage the stones could inflict on the tough-kinned hyenas, so what? Even limited, it was still a ranged attack.

He intended to use this opportunity to train the trib's new stonethrowers.

He truly didn't believe he could be harassed by a pack of hyenas.

After giving out these arrangements, Luaja clearly did not intend to stay here for long.

However, before leaving to prepare for any potential unexpected situations, he decided to select someone to be in charge of command.

Xiaopan, you take over the command here.

If anything unexpected happens, adapt accordingly.

There was no doubt that Xiaopan was the only one in the tribe besides Loajia himself who had leadership potential.
