Chapter 116: Plans Change
Ignoring the distressed A’Lu, Luo Ji chose to set aside the annoying matter for now.
In any case, Luo Ji would never allow A’Lu to perform any internal affairs work again.
Just having to reset two skills was already a stomach-wrenching affair, he couldn’t let this skill tree skew any further.
He signaled Savage Bear to accompany Luo Yong to the Barbarian Bear Tribe to transfer their population.
Afterward, Luo Ji also summoned several subordinates and instructed them to prepare to settle the newcomers.
This was over two hundred sixty people, which was not a small number.
After the over two hundred people were transferred, issues like tent construction, and the care of the injured and food supply, all needed to be handled promptly.
The problem of the injured was manageable.
Ever since the Medical Department was established, various medicinal herbs had been collected.
Coupled with the Mirror Tribe’s recent battles, where very few people were injured, the Medical Department had accumulated a good amount of herbs, which should be sufficient.
The real difficulty, however, was the food problem.
It was clearly impossible to feed everyone within a short period.
The simplest solution was undoubtedly to reduce the food allocated to these new people.
However, even if five people shared one pot of fish, it would still take fifty to sixty pots to solve one meal.
At this critical juncture, the Mirror Tribe was also experiencing a player invasion.
In other words, to avoid attacks from Zhou Kai, the hunting team would not go out hunting during this period.
As for farming, planting had only just begun last month, and harvest was still far off.
Relying solely on the fish resources from Mirror Lake might work for a short period, but over time, the Mirror Tribe would likely face food shortages.
Due to this sudden development, Luo Ji had no choice but to change his original plan again.
He had initially intended to take advantage first and then play it safe, but the sharply increasing population in the tribe no longer allowed him to do so.
In order to quickly get the hunting team out, he had to take the initiative to attack and swiftly end this battle.
Indeed, plans change.
Just as Luo Ji was thinking this, Luo Jin, who had been out on a mission, finally returned to the tribal camp before dark…
Seeing Luo Jin enter the Chief’s tent, clearly with something to report, A’Lu, who was sitting nearby, very tactfully rose, preparing to excuse himself.
Unexpectedly, before he could even take a step, Luo Ji called out to him.
“No need to excuse yourself.”
“Just sit there.”
A’Lu was visibly stunned by these words.
Even Luo Jin, who had just entered, looked at A’Lu with a hint of surprise.
“They are clearly about to discuss something very important, yet they’re letting me, a newly surrendered person, stay here?”
“What does this mean?”
As soon as this thought arose, A’Lu decisively gave up trying to figure it out.
He had never been able to guess what this man was thinking from beginning to end, so he simply followed Luo Ji’s instructions and sat back down.
However, in such an atmosphere, he inevitably felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles.
Luo Jin, on the other hand, after hearing Luo Ji’s words, simply ignored A’Lu sitting beside him and spread out the map, proceeding with his report.
A’Lu couldn’t help but notice what was happening right in front of him.
His restless gaze was quickly drawn to the map spread out before them…
“The outsiders who fled earlier have set up a temporary camp at this location…”
As he spoke, Luo Jin pointed to a marked spot on the map.
“From the looks of it, they won’t be making any new moves before dawn.”
After watching Luo Jin’s gestures, A’Lu finally understood what this animal hide, covered with strange markings, was for.
His eyes widened in surprise.
“So that’s it!”
“They’ve marked the nearby terrain on this animal hide?”
“Who came up with this method?”
“And how are these strange markings drawn onto the hide?”
At this moment, A’Lu felt his mind buzzing with questions.
Everything happening before him made him uncontrollably curious.
From the main seat, after listening to Luo Jin’s analysis, Luo Ji subconsciously nodded and then asked.
“Is the path between our tribal camp and this temporary camp safe after nightfall?”
From Luo Ji’s words, it was clear he was considering a night raid.
However, for A’Lu, whose thinking was still quite backward, this was clearly too dangerous.
In his common knowledge, night time was synonymous with danger.
After nightfall, fierce beasts often roamed the wilderness, and in the pitch-black night, how could humans, relying on their naked eyes that could barely see the path, possibly be a match for nocturnal animals?
But Luo Jin, on the other hand, nodded earnestly.
“Due to our tribe’s presence, most of the wild beasts nearby have already left. The hyena pack also temporarily left this area after the recent hunt. After nightfall, some wild beasts might return, but if we smear ourselves with saber-toothed tiger feces, we should be able to scare them away quite easily.”
“Huh? Feces? What is this guy talking about?”
A’Lu realized he was starting to lose track of these two’s thought processes, or rather, he couldn’t comprehend it.
“If I understand correctly, that should be poop, right?”
“Smearing poop on oneself?”
Although people in ancient times generally didn’t have germophobia, it was still unlikely for them to smear feces on themselves.
At that moment, A’Lu, sitting beside them, felt as if these two were insane.
To his surprise, just as he was thinking this, Luo Ji, sitting in the main seat, suddenly changed the subject, throwing the question directly to him.
“A’Lu, what do you think?”
A’Lu, whose name was suddenly called by Luo Ji, was clearly startled.
At the same time, he was somewhat dumbfounded by the situation and didn’t know what to say.
At the very least, he couldn’t voice the thoughts he had just had, he needed to be more subtle.
“Ahem! I think leaving the camp at night is too dangerous…”
Unexpectedly, before he could finish his sentence, Luo Ji interrupted him.
“You don’t need to worry about safety. We have a way to avoid wild beast attacks…”
“How do you avoid them? By smearing yourselves with feces?”
A’Lu couldn’t help but inwardly retort.
However, Luo Ji’s next words completely stunned him.
“So, I’m asking you about the specific plan for attacking the outsider’s camp.”
“Do you have any ideas?”
A’Lu was still a bit slow to react to this question, because this was already a topic about battle, and in the past, this topic had absolutely no connection to him.
Even his elder brother, Savage Bear, who trusted him immensely, would never ask for his opinion on matters related to combat.
Luo Ji was the first person to ask him this question!
