Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 486 Seeking Refuge

A few days later, a group of unfamiliar tribesmen appeared in the forest of their new territory. The patrolling males immediately became wary upon seeing these strangers.

"This is the territory of the Snow Moon Tribe. Which tribe are you from? Get out of here immediately!"

Upon hearing the male's call, the group that had come from the forest stopped. Just as the male guards breathed a sigh of relief, the orc from that group walked over alone.

Under the watchful eyes of several male guards, the orc warrior stopped beside a large tree in the distance: "May I ask if your tribe has four powerful orc warriors and one female?"

The males, who were initially on guard, were slightly taken aback upon hearing this. The male who had spoken earlier asked, "Do you know the esteemed shamans and orcs?"

An excited look instantly appeared on the haggard, thin face of the orc opposite him: "Yes, they used to live in our tribe, but they left later. Please inform the orc lords that we are members of the Laso tribe."

Lasso tribe…

Several males glanced at the orc in surprise; they knew this tribe as well.

"You can wait there. Someone from the tribe has already gone to inform the village."

The orc warrior from the Rasso tribe didn't seem to have any bad intentions, which made the males feel a little relieved.

"What tribes have come to attack? There's not a sound of fighting at all."

The familiar voice reached the ears of the guards, and also attracted the attention of Raman, who was waiting anxiously not far away.

Although they hadn't spent much time together, Teng Qian was the most talkative orc among them, and he was quite well-known in the Laso tribe. Raman guessed his identity just by hearing his voice.

Teng Qian, who strode over, immediately turned his sharp gaze toward the invaders the men were talking about: "Hmm?"

The orc warrior standing not far away looked even older and more haggard, but that familiar scent...

"Raman?"

Upon seeing that the orc recognized him at a glance, Raman felt a lump in his throat and his eyes reddened, as if he had finally found his tribe.

"Lord Tengqian, I've finally found you."

Raman choked up, feeling heartbroken as he recalled his miserable life during this period.

Teng Qian frowned as he looked at the group of skeletons carrying large and small bags behind him, and said, "Come with me to the tribe first."

Seeing that the orcs of their own tribe actually knew the people of the Raso tribe, the guarding males made way for them.

After settling the Laso tribesmen down in an open space, Tengqian instructed Daman and the others to bring them some food before leading Laman toward the cave.

Hearing footsteps, Wu Yue turned around and was slightly taken aback when she saw Raman. Then a faint smile appeared on her face: "Chief Raman."

The group sat down in the cave, and Wu Yue reached out and took the roasted meat from the stone pot next to him and handed it to him.

The chieftain of the Laso tribe, who had always been very distant from them, was now wolfing down the cold meat as if he hadn't eaten in a very long time.

Even as he choked and strained his neck, his right hand fingers gripped the piece of flesh tightly, his nails, covered in dirt, digging into the flesh without letting go.

Seeing Raman's starving appearance, Teng Qian's lips twitched violently. He picked up a stone bowl filled with water and handed it to him, saying, "Eat slowly, no one will take it from you."

Raman gratefully took the stone bowl and gulped it down in one go. He then let out a long breath, stuffed the remaining meat into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it. After that, he sighed deeply and smiled bitterly, "I haven't eaten anything for a long time."

Wu Yue nodded blankly: "Yes, I can tell."

Teng Qian: "..."

Yue, do you think we should give this Raman chieftain some face?

Raman: "..."

Even though I said that, your serious response makes me feel a little... well, you know!
“Our tribe’s territory was occupied by the Uk tribe. After you left, the Uk tribe subjugated several small and medium-sized tribes and gathered them around them.”

Our tribe was driven away because it was too close to the Uk tribe.

Wu Yue looked at Raman with a puzzled expression: "Why don't you join the Uk tribe?"

Raman scratched his head awkwardly: "The Uk tribe... only wants me to join them, they don't want the rest of the tribe."

Wu Yuexin understood. The Uk tribe wasn't stupid. They needed people with strong fighting abilities, but they didn't want those pure people who had little power.

At this point, Wu Yue had a rough idea of ​​Raman's purpose in coming to find them.

She nodded: "So what are your plans next?"

Raman opened his mouth, but he couldn't quite get the words out.

When he brought his people here, he hoped to ask a few powerful orc warriors for help in finding a new territory to establish a tribe.

But now that he has learned that several powerful orc warriors have established a new tribe, and that there are mysterious and noble shamans in the tribe, his thoughts have changed.

Rather than continuing to build a weak tribe, it's better to join a powerful one, as long as the tribe established by a few powerful orc warriors is willing to accept them.

These thoughts only lasted a moment. He glanced nervously at Wu Yue and Teng Qian, his hands clenching tightly on his lap: "I...I hope you can accept us as part of this tribe."

After saying this, as if afraid of being rejected, he quickly knelt down on the ground: "Our tribe members are very hardworking and can do everything. We will also try our best to find food. Please take us in."

After saying those words, Raman felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

If they could gain the protection of this powerful tribe, their lives would be much easier. At the very least, they would no longer have to worry about their people being killed for no reason, nor would they be driven away by powerful tribes and forced to migrate.

Wu Yue and her companions had a good impression of the Laso tribe. Although the people of this tribe lived in hardship, they had no ill intentions.

"I can accept your people, after all, you helped us before, but in this tribe, all the people must obey our orders, understand?"

Raman nodded excitedly. As for having to obey orders, that was nothing to them, a small tribe that faced danger and threats from larger tribes at all times.

He couldn't wait to go out and tell his people the good news that they had a new tribe and no longer needed to wander.

"Go out and tell your people this news. We don't have enough caves at our current camp. Choose a place for yourselves to live in the open space. We will make arrangements for the rest later."

Raman stood up respectfully, looking at the female before him with awe, a woman he hadn't previously paid much attention to...

No… she should be a mysterious and noble shaman. “Shaman, little Emma keeps asking about you. May I bring her along?”

Wu Yue nodded upon hearing this: "Bring her over."

If Wu Yue had reservations about teaching Emma before, now that little Emma has become a member of the tribe, she is naturally willing for another shaman to appear in the tribe.

Meanwhile, in a forest far from the Snow Moon Tribe, the orc captain of the East Mulberry Tribe finally led his squad of tribesmen back to the tribe.

The Dongsang tribe looked at the orc warriors below, their brows furrowed: "Four powerful orc warriors, do you know where they came from?"

The orc warrior shook his head: "Chieftain, those orc warriors didn't say much, but that shaman asked me a lot of questions. He really didn't know much about our forest."

Moreover, their taking in that small tribe suggests they also want to compete for territory in our forest.

Chief Dongsang, on the contrary, smiled and leaned against the woman beside him: "Let them compete. Anyway, I still need a lot of time before I become a gold-rank orc warrior. Among our tribes..."

The only ones who truly need that spot are that annoying guy from the Uk tribe and another detestable old man.

As the right-hand man of the Dongsang clan chief, the orc naturally knew who the old man his clan chief was talking about was, but he wisely didn't respond.

Silence began to spread in the cave. After a moment, Chief Dongsang slowly sat up, looking expectantly at the orc warrior below: "The first tribal trade fair is about to begin. Go there in advance and represent our Dongsang tribe to invite the Snow Moon tribe to participate."

The orc nodded respectfully: "Yes, Chieftain."

He wasn't very bright, so he only needed to carry out the orders given by his clan leader without ever asking any questions.

After the orcs left, a female beside Chief Dongsang spoke up: "Chief, are we just going to leave that small tribe alone?"

Upon hearing this, Chief Dongsang, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them and glanced at the female: "You are very clever and have made contributions to our tribe. I am willing to grant some of your requests, but this time, you should give up. I will not offend four powerful orc warriors, or even a noble shaman, for your sake."

His gentle eyes turned indifferent in an instant: "Do you understand?"

The female bowed respectfully: "I understand, Chieftain."

Many stray hairs fell from her lowered forehead, obscuring her scarlet, ferocious eyes.

···
"With so many clods of earth, I wonder what the shamans and orcs are going to do with them?"

"How could we possibly fathom the thoughts of the shamans and orcs!"

Since the last slave incident, the tribespeople dared not utter a word of complaint about the decisions of the shamans and orcs, and focused solely on carrying out their orders.

A few days later, all the tribespeople were gathered in an open space in the tribe, not far from the mud brick hill that everyone had made.

"When I asked you to make clay blocks before, many people in the tribe wondered what they were for. Today I'll show you."

Seeing everyone looking at her expectantly, Wu Yue smiled faintly and looked at the orc warriors and Daman and his group of four.

Daman and the others were working hard, mixing soil and hay in the open space nearby. Two of them even delivered the mixed soil to the orcs.

Next, they saw several orc warriors begin to build earthen blocks on a section of the high ground, covering them with a layer of mixed soil.

After all, mud blocks are not the same as bricks fired in the tribe. Although it took some time, when a house built of mud blocks appeared on the tribe's open space, Wu Yue was still very amazed and circled the house several times.

"What...what is this?"

"If you surround it with mud, wouldn't it be easy to trample it with one foot?"

None of them had ever seen anything like it before, and they were very curious and puzzled as to what this thing built of mud blocks was for.

Even the four of them, who had been helping out the whole time, were very puzzled.

Only when the roof and windows are fully installed can this simple little mud house be considered completely finished.

Even so, the four orc warriors worked from dawn until the afternoon to finally finish, even after preparing the materials in advance.

Teng Qian shook the mud off his hands and looked at Daman beside him: "Come here and try ramming into it hard."

Daman looked down on the earthen wall; it was just a bunch of clods of earth, and it would collapse in no time if he bumped into it.

"Strike with all your might."

Wu Yue's voice rang out from the side.

Daman nodded upon hearing this. He should listen to the shaman's words; at worst, he would just fall in.

Gathering all its strength, it roared and charged toward the earthen wall.

But
With a dull thud, Daman, who felt as if countless birds were circling overhead, landed on the ground with his tail hanging back, staring in disbelief at the 'wall' that hadn't even left a speck of dirt.

Can anyone tell him why this thing called a "wall," built of mud bricks, is so sturdy? He just felt as if he had crashed into a mountainside.

"Does anyone else want to test the sturdiness of this earthen wall?"

Although everyone was very curious, after Daman's previous attempt, the Chun people all gave up.

Sitting in the back, Fu'er felt as if his arm had been poked. He turned around and saw it was Sister Ayun.

Seeing Fu'er's silly appearance, Ayun couldn't help but rub her forehead in exasperation. Then she leaned close to the silly little brother's ear and whispered, "The pure humans won't go up anymore. You're a half-orc warrior, so you can give it a try."

Foul glanced furtively at the witch standing in the middle: "If I go up there, will the witch be angry? It wouldn't be good if she made us slaves."

Ayun shook her head: "I think you should go up and try. I have a feeling that the witch won't be angry this time."

There are now three orc warriors in the tribe. In addition, some time ago, an orc warrior actually entrusted his future partner, the orc warrior who was thrown into the forest by the small tribe chief, to them. Only then did she realize that her future partner had been rescued by the shaman and several orc masters after being abandoned.

After resting for a while longer, you can go out hunting.

Seeing that the number of orc warriors in the tribe was increasing, Ful could not always work silently like this. He had to make sure that the shaman and the orc leaders remembered him.

After thinking for a moment, Foul made a decision in his heart and stood up straight: "Witch, let me give it a try."

Wu Yue smiled faintly and nodded: "Go ahead."
