Chapter 83: A Period of Bad Luck
As the Mirror Tribe’s first festival celebration in the lives of its people.
Everyone continued to sing, dance, chat, and eat around the bonfire, staying lively until deep into the night, reluctant to rest.
Everyone seemed a bit unwilling for this once-a-year festival celebration to end.
For Luo Ji, who had been drowsy and wanted to sleep for a long time, this was undoubtedly a disaster.
He felt incredibly miserable but had nowhere to express it.
He could only secretly resolve to sleep in the next day.
After all, the various developments in the tribe were already on the right track.
It should not be a problem if he occasionally slept in, he thought.
Well, that’s what he originally thought.
However, early the next morning, Luo Ji, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, still half-asleep, listened to the report from his warrior, Zhou Yue.
He immediately realized that after the previous good fortune of continuously discovering Little Fox and Black Jackal, two 5 star talents, he seemed to have not yet emerged from his period of bad luck.
The saber-toothed tiger incident was just the beginning.
“Tribe Leader, traces of a hyena pack have been discovered near the forest on the outer side of the tribe!”
“Damn it!”
Luo Ji forcefully tugged at his hair, which was almost a bird’s nest.
At this moment, he was both frantic and annoyed.
“It must be the location that was exposed yesterday!”
“We were so careful, but we still couldn’t escape those hyenas’ keen noses!”
After a brief outburst of his emotions, Luo Ji’s gaze quickly fell upon Zhou Yue.
“What’s the situation now?”
“The hyena pack did not charge directly. They have just been lingering outside the forest, refusing to leave, making it inconvenient for the tribe’s hunting team to enter and exit. The captains have already set up a defensive line outside.”
This was an absolute ruffian move!
Upon hearing the hyenas’ actions, Luo Ji’s face was filled with disgust.
“In short, go and inform Ye Shan of the hunting team to temporarily avoid that area for the next few days and try to go around it.”
After saying this, Luo Ji clearly had no intention of sleeping in anymore.
He directly put on his animal hide coat and rushed towards the Mirror Tribe’s training camp.
“Tribe Leader!”
Seeing Luo Ji arrive at the front lines in time, Luo Yong, Black Jackal, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Without the orders of Luo Ji, the tribe leader, they could not act rashly.
Facing the hyena pack in the distance, they inevitably seemed a bit passive.
Now that Luo Ji had arrived, it was a good thing for them.
“Where are those hyenas?”
Luo Ji asked directly.
“Over there…”
Luo Yong said, pointing into the distance with a clearly annoyed tone.
“When we get close, they run.”
“When we retreat, they follow.”
“They do not fight us but just keep blocking the way.”
Looking in the direction Luo Yong pointed, Luo Ji immediately saw seven or eight hyenas lingering in the distance, neither approaching nor leaving.
However, they absolutely could not be careless, because this group of hyenas was looking for an opportunity.
As soon as they relaxed their guard, these disgusting ancient ruffians would definitely pounce immediately!
Were they treating this place as a breeding farm?
Luo Ji was also furious.
He had never imagined that he would one day be blocked at the city gate by a group of beasts.
Thinking back, he seemed to have used such ruffian tactics against the Young Leader’s tribe before.
There was a strange feeling that karma was catching up to him.
This was definitely the heavens trying to disgust him.
However, he stated that he had no intention of changing.
Ultimately, it was because the slingers could not cause effective damage to these thick-skinned guys.
At this moment, if they had a team of archers, given the penetrating power of arrows, these beasts would just be living targets!
“Haven’t the slingers arrived yet?”
Thoughts raced through his mind.
When he came out, he had instructed Zhao Pan to bring all the tribe’s slingers, carrying their stone projectiles, to come over.
However, carrying those baskets of heavy stone projectiles, the slingers’ traveling speed could clearly not be as fast as his.
After waiting for a while longer, Zhao Pan finally arrived with the slingers.
Looking at the sweating Zhao Pan and the others, Luo Ji raised his hand, signaling them to catch their breath and rest before talking.
Originally, including Zhao Pan, their tribe had five slingers.
When expanding their forces earlier, considering the slingers’ supreme position in siege warfare and the potential player invasion two months later.
Luo Ji decisively selected five more talented newcomers from the ten new recruits to join the slingers’ team, just enough to form a team of ten.
Now, all ten of them were here.
While they were catching their breath, Luo Ji pointed at the hyenas lingering in the distance.
“See that?”
“Those are your targets.”
“It’s a good chance for you newcomers to practice.”
“Go ahead and shoot with confidence.”
“The warriors in the front line will protect your safety!”
After giving instructions to the slingers, Luo Ji turned to Luo Yong and the other warriors.
“Luo Yong, Black Jackal, each of you lead seven warriors to take turns guarding here.”
“While one team is on guard, the other team will go to the training camp to supervise the training of the five new warriors.”
“Also, since the number of stone projectiles is relatively limited, when the slingers run out of stone projectiles, the team on duty at that time will go and pick them up.”
“Three people pick them up, and four people are responsible for vigilance.”
“If those hyenas dare to charge while you’re picking up stone projectiles, then fight them!”
“Killing even one counts!”
Luo Ji said this with immense anger.
Even if the damage from stone projectiles was very limited against the thick-skinned hyenas, so what?
Even if limited, it was still a ranged attack method.
He would take this opportunity to train the new slingers in the tribe.
He truly did not believe that he could be disgusted by a group of hyenas.
They wanted to wear him down, huh?
Then let them.
Let’s see who gives up first!
After finishing these arrangements, Luo Ji clearly did not intend to stay here for long.
However, before leaving, to deal with any potential unforeseen circumstances, he decided to select someone to be in charge of commanding the battle here.
“Zhao Pan, I’m entrusting the command here to you.”
“If any unexpected situations arise, you’ll adapt accordingly.”
Undoubtedly, Zhao Pan was the only person in the entire tribe, besides Luo Ji himself, who possessed leadership potential.
Although Black Jackal, whose leadership level had reached 3 stars, was also good and could lead troops at critical moments, how could he compare to Zhao Pan’s 4 star potential?
Luo Ji decisively left Zhao Pan here to gain experience.
As for himself, Luo Ji decided that he would stay at the Armament Department for the next few days!
These damned hyenas dared to offend him and act like ruffians on his territory?
He was putting it out there that this was not over!
