Bringing a System to the Beast World

Chapter 708 Tense Atmosphere

The Sea Serpent Shaman closed his eyes tightly, silently chanting in his heart, 'This is the clan leader I chose; I can't kill him. I must endure it.'

“As the tribal chief, you are responsible for managing the affairs of the entire tribe. The disappearance of the orcs is clearly suspicious. Just send one of the stronger orcs in the tribe to lead the search.”

The meaning of the Sea Serpent Shaman is clear: the tribal chief should not take unnecessary risks.

However, the simple-minded sea serpent chieftain failed to grasp his great shaman's good intentions and simply nodded reluctantly: "Alright, then I'll go out and make the arrangements."

Seeing the Great Shaman wave his hand dismissively, indicating that he should leave, he slowly withdrew from the Sea Serpent Great Shaman's tent.

Outside the tent, the young orc who had been waiting for a long time rushed up to greet his father as he came out: "Father, is it about the disappearance of orcs from various tribes?"

The sea serpent chieftain was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at his son with some anger: "You knew about this but didn't tell me, causing me to be reprimanded by the great shaman in front of so many chieftains and shamans of the subordinate tribes."

A dark glint flashed across the young orc's eyes, followed by a wry smile: "Father, have you forgotten that I went hunting today and just returned to the tribe?"

The sea serpent chieftain was taken aback, only then remembering that it was his own son who had led the hunting party out today.

He touched his nose somewhat guiltily, then sighed deeply: "Kid, do you think the Great Shaman wants to remove me as the clan leader?"

It seemed like the great shaman wasn't satisfied with anything he did.

The young orc followed his father and whispered, "Father, don't overthink it. You are the strongest orc warrior in the Sea Serpent Tribe. This position of chieftain should be yours. All of us in the tribe support you."

The high shaman reprimanded you because he wanted you to do better. Look at the other orcs in the tribe; they don't even have the chance to see the high shaman.

The sea serpent chieftain, comforted by his son, instantly felt that his position in the sea serpent shaman and the sea serpent tribe was extremely important.

His back, which had been hunched over from being reprimanded by the sea serpent shaman, straightened instantly, and he seemed to have been injected with adrenaline.

He looked at his son with admiration: "Indeed, among you brothers, you understand your father's heart the most. Keep improving your strength, and when your father gets old, I will definitely support you in taking the position of chief of the Sea Serpent Tribe."

The young orc's eyes flickered slightly, but his face still showed reverence as he looked at the Sea Serpent Chieftain: "In my heart, Father is the eternal chieftain of the Sea Serpent Tribe. I am willing to help Father forever and make our Sea Serpent Tribe stronger and stronger."

The young orc's words struck a chord with the Sea Serpent Chieftain, giving him a much-needed boost of confidence as he emerged dejectedly from the Sea Serpent High Priest's tent.

"Alright, you should go back to your lodgings now. I'll go arrange the patrol. I'll go to your mother's place later and have a meal with you all."

The sea serpent chieftain values ​​this offspring, but that doesn't mean he values ​​the female who bore it for him.

As the chieftain of a super tribe, he had many, many women and many, many children.

Of all his children, the one beside him was the smartest, the strongest, and the one he liked the most.

Therefore, he was also willing to show some affection to the female who gave birth to the baby.

The young orc respectfully watched the sea serpent chieftain walk away, then slowly straightened his bowed back.

His eyes, which were always filled with a bright smile, were now dark and gloomy, and the smile on his lips carried a hint of coldness.

"My dear father, you must stay in the tribe and not go out unnecessarily." With that, he chuckled and turned to walk towards his home.

Except for a few high-ranking members of the tribe who can live in tents, most members of the Sea Tribe still live in caves.

However, since the sea serpent chieftain said he wanted to come and eat with them, they decided to build a simple tent on the ground outside the cave.

The somewhat rugged-looking female orc warrior was surprised to see her cub: "Why are you back at this time? Don't you need to share the food?"

When the young orc saw his mother, his eyes softened instantly: "I just met Father and we talked for a while."

The food has already been distributed to the other tribesmen. Father said that our son will be eating here tonight, so I came back to help you prepare it.

"You've been going out a lot lately, and I don't remember those were your hunting days. Do you have a female you like?"

A somewhat timid voice sounded in his ear. The young orc who was tidying up the animal skins of the tent paused slightly. His eyes darkened for a moment before he chuckled and said, "I went out to train with my brothers. I want to become stronger so that I can get more Beast God Stone Walls at next year's trade fair."

The female patted her cub's head with satisfaction: "Be careful during training, and don't go to dangerous places, or Amu will worry."

The young orc nodded obediently: "Don't worry, I know."

At dinner time, the sea serpent chieftain appeared, looking exhausted, in the makeshift tent set up by the young orcs.

When the female saw the orc approaching, she greeted him with a joyful expression. After helping the orc to sit down comfortably, she then went to prepare the remaining food with a smile on her face.

The young orc was about to go over to help when the sea serpent chieftain casually waved his hand and said, "Come sit with your father for a while. Your mother can make the food. Let's talk."

He glanced at his mother, who was working happily, sighed softly, and sat down next to the sea serpent chieftain.

“The Great Shaman is right. I underestimated things. I sent out a patrol team today, but only half of them came back.”

After leaving the tribe, they split up to search, agreeing to meet again in an area not far from the tribe. However, when the time came to return, only one group returned.

The young orc frowned: "You mean, the orcs from our tribe have also gone missing?"

The sea serpent chieftain ran his fingers through his hair and scratched his head in frustration.

"If I find this monster that devoured the orc warrior, I will definitely punch it and let it know how powerful the Sea Serpent Chieftain is."

Similar to the Sea Serpent Tribe, the Sea Eel Tribe also failed to find the Orc Warriors from the Shrimp Tribe who had previously gone missing.

Even while they were searching, other affiliated tribes also experienced the disappearance of orcs.

This orc disappearance incident, which occurred in several other super tribes of the sea race, finally plunged the entire White Sand Salt Sea into a tense atmosphere.

Orcs are generally not allowed to go out except to hunt in areas very close to the tribe's settlement.
