Chapter 166 Mainly on Building Friendly Relations
The jackal tribe returned to their original territory with the meat of ten beasts given to them by the eastern tribe.
Now, this land has become their temporary residence.
When the females and cubs in the tribe saw such a plentiful meal, their eyes immediately lit up.
They had been starving for days and hadn't had a proper meal in two whole days.
Although the adult orcs could barely endure the hunger, the young orcs could no longer bear it and eagerly pounced on the delicious chunks of meat, even going so far as to eat them raw.
Mu dragged his exhausted body back into the cave, then painstakingly searched for an elder of the tribe, hoping to discuss important matters with him.
The jackal tribe also has a long history and traditions, and there are orcs in the tribe who are revered as elders or symbolize wisdom.
These elders, with their rich experience and knowledge, provide guidance and advice to their clansmen.
Elder Mu recounted his experiences in the Eastern tribes, specifically mentioning Yong, the former wolf king of the wolf clan.
"When we arrived, we were immediately pounced on by the wolf clan orcs. Yong came out and saw me, claiming that there were no more wolves and that he would follow their current leader to the death."
At this point, Mu emphasized to the elder, "The leader of their Eastern tribe is a small female, and the animal skin clothing she wears is made of something I don't recognize. It's very strange. However, she has a bird-like scent, so I guess she might be a bird or a bird-like beastman."
If Ruan Mianmian heard Mu's evaluation of her at this moment, she would definitely cry out that she was wronged.
Perhaps Mu only smelled the duck or goose feathers from inside her down jacket, but it was mistaken for a bird.
Of course, according to scientific classification, ducks or geese are indeed a type of bird!
After a moment of contemplation, the elder slowly spoke, “Mu, you have done well. We must be careful with this tribe. Yong’s words seem to have a deeper meaning; perhaps there is something special about their tribe’s leader that we are unaware of. We need to maintain good relations between the two tribes. Since they have given us food, that is an attitude of goodwill.”
Mu nodded slightly in agreement.
He knew very well that, given the strength the Eastern tribes were currently displaying, they would definitely prioritize maintaining friendly relations.
“By the way, elder, I had a brief chat with their tribal chief. He told me that there is actually no shortage of food in this area, but we just need to work harder and actively search for it. So I plan to lead the tribe to search for food in the surrounding areas after this heavy snow stops. After all, since we have decided to settle here, we need to settle down as soon as possible.”
They originally came here with the intention of seeking refuge, but now the wolf clan is gone.
This habitat naturally became unclaimed land.
Since the jackal tribe had nowhere else to go, they might as well settle down here.
Mu turned to look at the elder, a resolute glint in his eyes. "I've also heard that there's a large forest nearby, where there might be more food resources. But it's said that some powerful beasts roam the forest, so we need to be fully prepared."
The elder nodded slightly in agreement. "Yes, finding food is important, but safety cannot be ignored. Gather the tribespeople, formulate a detailed plan, and ensure everyone's safety. We cannot risk losing any of our people."
Mu nodded in agreement, "I will select some strong warriors to form an expedition team. We will first scout out the route and learn about the situation in the valley. Once we are sure it is safe, we will lead the main force there."
After saying that, Mu turned and left, beginning preparations for his next exploration.
He was filled with hope, believing that as long as they worked hard, the jackal tribe would surely be able to survive on this land.
