Chapter 958 The Insect Cage on the Tree
The pork chop that had just come down from the ancient giant tree was carried back to the ancient giant tree by the Deters.
To be precise, it was carried back to the middle of the ancient giant tree.
There is a thick branch extending outward. The top of the branch is broad and flat, forming a platform of two to three hundred square meters.
The platform was very lively. There were more than ten Deters gathered here to rest. There were many tents made of rattan and large leaves around, as well as several bonfires, emitting bright and warm firelight.
According to the introduction of the elderly Detel, this is their main camp.
During the day, the Deters scattered in the surrounding forests to collect food. When night fell, they would return to the main camp to rest.
If they have walked far away and have no time to rush back, they will find some relatively safe places nearby to hide, such as the tree holes where they used to hunt and scratch birds.
The entire insect cage clan has approximately forty Deters, which is already considered a fairly large tribe by the standards of wild orc tribes.
After returning to the camp, Old Deter meowed at the resting tribesmen.
Several young and strong Detel immediately left the camp. They were going to the carcass of the scratching bird and brought back the remaining meat, leather and bones.
Living in the cruel wilderness, utilizing all available resources is a top priority.
Subsequently, Old Deter brought Pig Chop to see the leader of the insect cage clan.
That was a strong female Detel, with a rather forthright personality. She could also speak the common language of the Old World, and she could speak it much better than the old Detel.
“Warrior Meow from across the ocean, I heard that you killed that Kuruacu (bird-tickling) Meow?”
As he spoke, he grabbed something that looked like a roast chicken from the campfire nearby and threw it to the pig.
Pork Chop quickly caught the roasted bird and flipped it between his paws to avoid being burned.
“Meow, meow, meow!” the leader laughed, “Listen to Mr. Monroe, you people on the other side of the ocean are not used to eating bugs, meow?
This is the Jungle Archaeopteryx, which should suit your taste. "
“Thank you, meow.” Zhupai hugged the roasted Archaeopteryx and said thank you.
“It’s us, meow, who should say thank you. We’ve had a headache for that guy for a long time, meow. You’ve been a big help, meow. Eat whatever you want, meow!”
The leader called the pork chop to the campfire and continued to stuff food into its hands.
“I heard from Mr. Monroe, in a few years, another group of your people will come over,” the leader asked curiously, “I heard that the number of people in your tribe will double by then.”
Pork Chop soon realized that the smart leader was lying to him.
Then it would naturally follow Monroe's words and say, "Maybe more than twice as much."
“That’s awesome, meow.” The leader sighed, “My father’s choice back then was indeed the right one, meow.”
“Father, meow?”
“He is also the former leader of our clan, Meow.” The leader grabbed a roasted beetle and gnawed on it, while continuing: “A few decades ago, when humans first arrived here, Meow, my father had contact with them Meow.
At that time, my father said that we must have a good relationship with you. I have also been to your tribe for a few years, so I can speak your language. "
Pork Chop nodded.
Like the wild Ellu of the Old World, the Detel of the New World does not occupy a high level in the ecological circle.
Once you find that humans have the ability to hunt large monsters, are not hostile to them, and are able to communicate with them, getting along with them in a friendly manner is the best option.
The fish basket family also adopts a similar approach.
Making good relationships is one thing, and it’s also about learning the language. If this continues, within two or three years, the common language of the Old World will be spread among the orc groups in the New World.
Of course, in this process, the orc researcher Mr. Monroe also played a decisive role.
Although Mr. Monroe was a member of the Fourth Regiment, he had only been in the New World for a few years.
However, he has already come into contact with the insect cage clan in the ancient tree forest, the guardian clan in the large ant mound wasteland, and even the performer clan on the Coral Platform far across the Grand Canyon.
During the chat, Zhupa vaguely mentioned that the Commander-in-Chief planned to set up a new camp.
The leader of the insect cage tribe reacted very quickly. After hearing this, he immediately said that the investigation team could use several places including the previous tree hole camp at will.
In fact, the palm-shaped branch camp that Gordon and Pig Pork found on the top of the tree was also one of the temporary camps of the Insect Cage Clan.
Some of those vine-like bridges were built intentionally.
In addition to using them, the insect cage clan will also help the investigation team with "daily maintenance of the camp."
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a shared camp. After all, whether it is the survey team or the Detels, the need for the camp is temporary.
When the hunters of the survey team used the camp, they probably wouldn’t mind the presence of two overnight stayers curled up in the camp.
The presence of hunters will also make the territory of the Chongcong clan safer.
There is no doubt that this is a win-win situation. Pig Chop said that he would report the matter to the Commander-in-Chief as soon as possible. The wise old gentleman should not refuse.
After initially facilitating this matter, the leader of the Cage Clan seemed happier.
It pulled the stuffed pork chop around their camp, showing it the murals left by the ancestors of the insect cage tribe, as well as some commonly used small tools and so on.
Pork Chop was looking forward to finding some practical props similar to the honey bug attracting incense, but it turned out to be something useful.
"This is a stopping insect cage!" The leader of the insect cage tribe introduced with his hands on his hips: "It can be easily placed on the ground. If you touch the insect cage a little, the shining winged insects inside will emit a strong light and stun the monster." !”
"Meow-!"
Seeing that Zhupa was interested, the leader of the insect cage tribe generously gave the stopping insect cage to Zhupa. He also gave it the key points of use and even the techniques for weaving the insect cage.
This thing is similar to a flash bomb. It may not be as direct to use as a flash bomb, but it also has its advantages.
If arranged in advance, it is even more convenient to use than flash bombs.
“This stopping insect cage is the signature and proof of our insect cage family, meow!”
When Pig Cho put away the insect cage, the leader of the insect cage clan said very proudly: "When they see it, all the members of the insect cage clan will treat you as their partner, meow!"
When you need help, don’t be polite, we will try our best to help! "
“Thank you very much, meow!” Zhupa said his thanks seriously.
At this moment, a Deter ran over and meowed a few times in the leader's ear.
The leader of the Cage Clan looked at Pig Chop in surprise, "The sentry said, Meow, there is a very big human being who has been squatting in the nearby bushes for a long time, Meow. Is that your friend Meow?"
“It’s Meow.” Zhupa’s brain was spinning rapidly, and he quickly thought of an excuse for Gordon, “He might be worried about scaring you Meow, so he never showed up Meow.”
“Meow, meow, meow!” The leader of the insect cage tribe let out a series of laughter.
“In that case, he is also a guest, meow! Call him over here, meow. It’s almost dark, meow. Let’s have a good rest at our camp tonight, meow!”
That scratched bird has a lot of meat, so it’s time for a banquet! "
