While Luo Yong and the three wolf warriors spread out around to confirm that there were no dangers nearby.

After ensuring safety, he approached Luo Gene.

I'll go check the surroundings nearby.

Wait, I'll go too.

I didn't have time to check a certain area yesterday because I rushed back and the chief also told me to carefully check the surroundings for any other crops.

Seeing Luo Gene quickly catch up, Lu Yong reluctantly replied, "All right, Lu Yong, what is wrong with you? You seem a bit off.

Luo Gene, who had a maximum intelligence of four stars, could almost immediately tell that something was wrong with Luo Yong.

It's nothing.

Lu Yong casually brush him off.

Observing Luo Yong<unk>s demeanor, Luo Jyn<unk>s eyes turned and a hint of understanding flashed across his face.

Don't overthink it, the chief said.

Your current task is training.

I know, Lu Yong replied gloomily, then shot a disgruntled glare at Lu Gene.

And also, don't guess what I'm thinking.

Luo Jean shrugged in silence.

Did he really need to guess Lu Yong's thoughts? They were practically written all over his face.

Right now, the hunting team, fishing team, lumber team, armory, and even his reconnaissance team in the Ming Jing tribe were all working hard for the trib's development, and they had all achieved results one after another.

In contrast, the warrior team that Luo Yong was in spent everyday training.

And while they had indeed improved their skills over time, they had nothing to show for it.

Watching everyone else achieving results, especially Luo Gene, who had earned a significant merit this time and was rewarded with a whole hind leg of road deer.

It was only natural for Lu Yong s character to feel anxious.

Chapter 34.

Covert investigation.

Luo Yong and Luo Gene were about the same age with Luo Yong being 26 and Lu Gene 23.

They had practically grown up together, so their bond was naturally deep.

Furthermore, Luo Gene had a charming personality.

And after chatting for a while, Lu Yongs earlier frustration had noticeably dissipated.

At that moment, Lu Gene suddenly paused midsentence.

Wait, what? Luo Yong instinctively tightened his grip on the twin axes he held and became alert.

Without saying much, Lu Jeene quickly moved a couple of steps to the left front and crouched down.

Footprints.

Footprints.

Lu Yong, who had also approached, glanced at the snow-covered ground and frowned.

How did I miss that? It had snowed last night, covering the footprints significantly, but a faint outline still remained.

If you look closely, you can see it.

Lu Jeene said his gaze constantly scanning the surroundings as if searching for clues.

Could be from you guys yesterday.

Although he said this, Lu Yong's tone had clearly turned serious.

Impossible.

Luo Gene shook his head decisively.

We didn't come this way yesterday.

And besides, these footprints lead in that direction.

As he spoke, Lu Gene quickly pointed in one direction.

It seems that after we left yesterday, others from another tribe came through here.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yong<unk>s breath quickened.

If there were people from another tribe, it meant a potential conflict was imminent.

Opportunities for glory and achievement were just around the corner.

Lu Gene quickly shot a sideways glance at Lu Yong, his tone carrying a hint of exasperation.

Hey, don't do anything stupid.

Acting without orders could lead to severe punishment.

Do you want to face consequences before you've even made a contribution? Ah, Luo Yong<unk>s expression stiffened at these words.

Then what should we do? You go back and regroup with the other wolf warriors.

Protect the people you brought.

I'll sneak over and take a look myself.

Hey, Lu Jean, you just told me not to act on my own, and now you're going off on your own.

To this, Lu Gene confidently replied, "What do you mean acting on my own? I'm the leader of the reconnaissance team.

" The clan leader said that in the presence of enemies or other tribes, I have the authority to decide whether to scout.

Then take me with you, Lu Yong said, unwilling to give up.

Stop it.

You have no reconnaissance experience.

Besides, you're so big.

Bringing you along would only increase my risk of exposure.

Lu Gene pushed Luo Yong again.

Hurry back and protect the others.

If anything happens, I'll signal you.

And once I determine the enemy trib's position, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to perform if a battle occurs.

Why are you in such a rush? After much persuasion, Lu Yong was finally convinced to return, sighing in relief.

Lu Jeene quickly pulled out a large white fur from his backpack and draped it over himself.

This fur was specially made for the reconnaissance team by the tribe.

And as the clan leader put it, it served as camouflage.

As long as he wore this white fur and laid down in the snow, the enemy would hardly notice their presence if they were not careful.

With the white fur on, Lu Gene kept his body low and slowly followed the footprints in the snow.

Throughout this process, he remained calm.

His ears alert to every sound around him while his eyes constantly scan the area.

There are people.

As a series of faint sounds reached him, Luo Jyn's heart tightened and he quickly lay flat on the ground, blending almost seamlessly with the snow due to the white fur.

His cautious gaze observed the surroundings, and he saw two barbarians walking by several dozen meters away.

They did not notice the advantage of Luo Jyn's elevated position.

Once the two barbarians moved on, he let out a small sigh of relief, maintaining his prone position, and slowly crawled forward with his arms.

He saw it from a distance.

The enemy's tribal camp was only the size of fist, but Lu Jyn's face was filled with seriousness.

He had not expected there to be a tribe in such a place.

The one-way journey to their tribe only took half a day.

If the enemy discovered their tribe and launched a surprise attack, thinking of this, Lu Jyn's facial muscles involuntarily twitched.

Damn it, it was my mistake.

I rushed back to report to the clan leader after discovering the wild carrot and neglected to scout the surrounding area.

I don't even know if they noticed the footprints we left yesterday.

If they did, our presence might have already been exposed.

What to do? Should he retreat immediately and report the situation to the clan leader or delve deeper into investigating this tribe? At his current position, he was quite far from the enemy tribe, only able to see the outline of the camp and nothing else.

This delicate situation left him in a dilemma.

His mind a chaotic jumble, unsure of what to do.

Huff slowly exhaling a long breath.

Lu Gene forced himself to calm down.

Calm down.

The camouflage the clan leader gave me is very useful.

And this area is mostly snow.

With the cover of the camouflage, I should be able to get closer without any problems.

Once I confirm some basic intel, I'll find an opportunity to retreat.

Yes, that has the plan.

It ll definitely worked.
