Invading players, hyena packs, blood stains.

The time was the night of the seventh day.

The location was this forest.

The clues in Lajia's mind began to connect slowly.

A few minutes later, he came up with a possibility.

The player named Wong Chow had given up on the idea of besieging the city, but had not been directly deterred by him.

Instead, he had changed tactics, wanted to ambush him in this forest, waiting for him to leave the camp to hunt and then launch a surprise attack.

However, he clearly didn't he expect that behind this ancient city wall was a large area of Ming Jing Lake, rich in fish resources, coupled with the jerky they had stockpiled beforehand, there was only to go out hunting for a while.

To avoid exposing their position, they certainly couldn't make a fire.

And with human vision being impaired at night in the woods, they maintained this state and were attacked by the hyena pack on the night of the seventh day.

That pack of hyenas had likely intended to take revenge on him under the cover of darkness, especially since he had killed many of them before.

The invaders hiding in the woods were evidently mistaken for his people by the hyenas.

Hyenas are nocturnal animals, and at night, humans with impaired vision would naturally be no match for a pack of hyenas, leading to their annihilation.

Analyzing this, Laja scanned the area, which although stained with blood, was unexpectedly empty as the bodies have been dragged away for food.

After completing his analysis, Luagia let out a long breath.

Although he felt he was almost certain, it was still prudent to confirm.

Lu Jang, take a few warriors and an archer team to follow the blood stains and see where they lead.

If you encounter hyenas, kill them.

If you find the bodies of the outsiders, bring back their weapons and equipment and handle the bodies as well.

After giving these orders, Luagia turned to Lu Yong.

Lu Yong, take a group of people to clean up the blood stains in the woods.

Then let everyone patrol, keeping an eye out for potential packs of hyenas and people from the barbarian bear tribe in the west.

After delegating these tasks, Luaja returned to the tribal camp.

During this month of truce, he certainly had to make good use of it.

He decided to send the construction team and lumber team to the Hyen tribe.

As the ancient city wall there also needed to be built as the Ming Jing tribe was now his main city.

It could potentially become the capital of the entire civilization in the future.

Considering this factor, Laja had previously circled a large territory, resulting in a massive project.

However, the Hyen tribe did not require such a large area, at least not for now.

Currently, the Hyen tribe was less a subsidy and more of a large coal factory established by Luagia to obtain coal resources.

Their daily task was to mine coal, and there was no need to do anything else.

Therefore, the Hyen tribe did not need a large territory initially.

They only needed to protect a small area near the coal mine.

Building a small circle of ancient city walls should be more than enough for a construction team with prior experience.

If things went smoothly, it could probably be completed in a month.

In contrast, the issue with the barbarian bear tribe was more troublesome and gave Luagia quite a headache.

Over 300 people, how to deal with that? Even if they could win, they needed to be able to sustain them.

Just imagining over 300 mouths waiting to be fed in the tribe was a daunting thought, and the mere idea of it made his head hurt.

Chapter 98.

Tracking clues, meanwhile, on the other side, following Luo G's instructions, Lu Jung set off with four tribal warriors and a five member archer team.

Tracking the blood trails and footprints left by the hyenas.

As they found the hyena den, the hyenas clearly discovered their presence as well.

Due to Lu Gi's previous slaughter order, Lu Jang and his team were old foes of the nearby Hyena Pack.

When enemies meet, they are particularly hostile.

The howls were filled with obvious anger, as if threatening them to stay away.

However, the 10person team was completely unfazed, not hesitating even for half a second.

As Lu Jangs five members formed a defensive formation, the five archers in the back began to draw their bows.

The results of their more than a month of practical training were fully displayed at that moment as the five became extremely proficient in using their bows and arrows.

In the blink of an eye, a volley was fired directly at the distant hyena pack.

Faced with the archers concentrated attack, the hyena's howls became sharper and the pack, which had originally gathered together, quickly scattered into two groups, launching a flanking attack towards Lu Jang and the others who were holding their ground.

Such a flanking tactic was clearly not their first encounter.

They had their own set of countermeasures.

Without needing much discussion, the five archers simultaneously shifted their fire to the group of hyenas on the left, unleashing a barrage that created a wave of long range suppression.

In response to the threat from the right, the other four tribal warriors, excluding Lu Jang, were tasked with defense.

After all, beasts are still beasts.

They're no match for humans.

Facing the continuous fire from the archers, within a short time, two hyenas had already succumbed to multiple arrows, their heavy bodies crashing to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and announcing the end of their lives.

Seizing the right moment as the distance closed in, the archer team decisively began to withdraw while Lu Jang, responsible for covering them, seized an opportunity and charged forward.

There were five hyenas flanking from the left, two of which had already been killed by stray arrows.

Among the remaining three, one was injured by an arrow.

Facing this number of enemies, Lu Jang believed he could handle them with the might of his ax.

With a sudden burst of strength in his arms, the axe, which had been modified by the armament department, created a strong gust of wind as he swung it.

Lu Jing<unk>s combat power erupted at that moment, and with a powerful slash, the sharp blade struck one of the hyenas.

The thick hide that had once sent stonethrowers retreating was so weak against Lu Jenangs overwhelming blow, instantly taking the hyena's life.

The heavy body flew backward with a spray of blood, and the strong impact continuously reverberated in his hands.

A flash of crimson light crossed Lu Jenangs eyes.

And at that moment, he felt his entire emotion ignited, locking onto the other two hyenas.

Wild animals are very loyal to their instincts.

In that instant, the wild instincts imprinted in their genetic makeup made them clearly aware of one thing.

The human standing before them was extremely dangerous.

Advancing further would mean death.

The momentum of their charge suddenly halted.

Just a moment ago, the two aggressive hyenas turned around and fled in a comical display of panic.

Don't even think about escaping.

In the time it took to speak, Lu Jang, feeling a surge of killing intent with no outlet, dragged his ax and charged after them.

Those two hyenas, having lost their will to fight and fleeing in disarray, posed no threat to him anymore.

With sweeping motions, his ax effortlessly claimed the lives of the two hyenas.

The complete annihilation of the hyenas on the left led the remaining few flanking from the right to realize the dire situation and they scattered in all directions, bringing the battle to a swift conclusion.

Letting out a long breath, the blood lust in Lu Jiangs eyes slightly faded.

After a proper release, he felt much lighter and directly led his team to destroy the hyena den, discovering numerous corpses of outsiders nearby.

Among them, many bodies have been gnawed down to the bones by the hyenas, and their leather armor had suffered varying degrees of damage with weapons lost to who knows where.

Lu Jang instructed his men to search the vicinity thoroughly, but they still found nothing with no other choice.

They could only strip the few pieces of armor they found take back.

Regardless, his hall from his trip was quite substantial.

Upon returning to the tribal camp, everyone skillfully handed the hyena corpses to those responsible for skinning them.

Afterward, Lu Jang casually picked up a slightly damaged piece of armor stripped from an outsers's body and walked towards Lu G's tent.

At that moment, inside the tent, Lu Gi was troubled about how to deal with the barbarian bear tribe.

Upon seeing Lu Jang return, he immediately set aside this troublesome matter and asked, "How did it go? We indeed found the corpses of outsiders near the hyena den.

This is the leather armor stripped from those bodies.

While speaking, Lu Jang respectfully handed the somewhat damaged armor to Luog.

Lu G picked up the armor and took a couple of glances.

Unlike the full body leather armor made by their tribe, the resources for the opponent's leather seemed relatively limited.

So, this armor was made rather simply, only providing basic protection for the heart and the vulnerable back area.

From these pieces of armor, Lu G could roughly estimate the strength level of non-ranked players.

At least for now, he seemed to have the advantage in terms of armor weapons.

As he spoke, Lu Gi glanced at Lu Jenangs empty hands, realizing he must not have found any.

Yes, my subordinate was unable to complete the task assigned by the chief and is willing to accept punishment.

All right.

Lu G waved his hand dismissively.

It's not a big deal.
