Chapter 143 Arrival at the Eagle Beast Tribe
Chapter 143 Arrival at the Eagle Beast Tribe
Ye also said to Lin Ni, "Lin, do you remember seeing light and flashes at Moon Lake in Chujian Mountain last year during the dry season?"
Lin Ni only remembers the incident; she definitely doesn't remember the person. She didn't see them clearly at the time, and even if she did, she wouldn't remember. Who could remember a meeting from a year ago? Unless they were celestial beings descended to earth.
Since they are orcs who grew up together, their safety shouldn't be a problem. Yao nodded and smiled at Lan and Ershun, saying, "Thank you for the invitation. You'll have to work hard then."
The two groups merged into one, and Lan let Shan first bring the news that they had found Lin Ni and her group back to the tribe.
Yao said, "Thank you for searching for us for so long. Since Shan is going back to the Eagle Beast Tribe first, please arrange a place for us to stay, preferably a spacious one. We have three level nine orcs here, and their beast forms are a bit large."
Lan and Ershun looked at Bai and Xuan with some suspicion. Although Lan could guess that the three of them were higher than him and must be level nine, he still didn't quite believe it, since level nine beastmen were too rare!
However, Yao said it so bluntly because he didn't want them to have any ulterior motives.
Blue nodded and said to Flash, "Okay, you should go back now! The chief of our Eagle Beast Tribe and the chief of our Falcon Beast Tribe have been waiting for them for a long time."
Flash nodded and replied, "Okay," before flying away on his own.
Lan then said to Yao, "You are the little female's first partner, Yao. I know that your team has the tiger beastman Bai and the snake beastman Ye, but I don't know how to address these two level nine powerhouses!"
Yao smiled and introduced them, saying, "These two are Xuan and Ling."
Lan smiled at Xuan and Ling again: "Welcome to the Eagle Beast Tribe, you two powerful individuals."
Xuan smiled and nodded: "I am also very happy to meet the flying beastmen powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Cliffs."
With the flying orcs as their mode of transport, Linni rode on Yan's back again, and the group finally arrived at the Eagle Beast Tribe's territory on the evening of the third day. It must be said that the flying orcs were indeed fast.
The orcs in the Eagle Beast Tribe already knew of their arrival. As they passed through a rocky forest and entered a valley, a group of bird-like orcs came to greet them.
Leading them were a level nine eagle beastman and a level eight falcon beastman, presumably the chieftains of their respective tribes. The eagle beast tribe chieftain, a tall and robust male beastman, greeted them with a smile: "Beastmen from the tiger beast tribe, we've finally waited for you!"
Yao gently nudged Linni, who could only smile and reply, "Hello! Chieftain of the Eagle Beast Tribe! Excuse me!"
"No disturbance, no disturbance!" The chieftain of the Eagle Beast Tribe waved his hand. "You're Lin? What a beautiful little female!"
Lin Ni smiled and said, "You flatter me."
The chieftain of the Eagle Beast Tribe clearly didn't understand what "you flatter me" meant. As he led Lin Ni and her group into the tribe, he introduced them, saying, "I am Da Jin, the chieftain of the Eagle Beast Tribe, and this is Da Shun, the chieftain of the Falcon Beast Tribe."
Yao smiled and stepped forward to speak, first greeting the two clan leaders, then introducing his group to them. After the two sides got to know each other, Da Jin, the clan leader of the Eagle Beast Tribe, talked about some basic information about the Eagle Beast Tribe and the Falcon Beast Tribe. Yao also briefly told them about the Tiger Beast Tribe and some of his experiences along the way.
Linni secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Standing and talking with more than a dozen males still put her under some pressure. Apart from the four or five at the head of the group who had mate marks on their left arms, the rest of the group were all single beasts, which made it obvious what that meant. However, they seemed quite well-behaved, only smiling and greeting Linni when she looked over. Unlike the males of the Vulture Beast Tribe, who looked like thugs.
While Yao was chatting with the two chieftains as they walked into the tribe, Lin Ni was carried by Bai on his shoulders as they looked around the Eagle Beast Tribe (these beastmen were all tall and had long legs, so she couldn't keep up with their pace, and she always had to look up at everyone when walking in the middle, so now Lin Ni had her partner carry her when she interacted with outsiders).
The Eagle Beast Tribe's settlement was located in a valley about the size of two football fields, surrounded by rocky mountains. Numerous caves had been carved into the mountainsides, and besides the caves, small treehouses dotted the mountain walls—these were the dwellings of the Eagle Beast Tribe members. Because the valley was small, only a sparse ring of trees grew near the mountainsides; the rest of the valley was covered with low-lying wildflowers and grasses. Many male members of the tribe were preparing for a bonfire party; everything was almost ready, and the roasted meat was already on the fire.
Da Jin smiled and said, "The bonfire party to welcome you is about to begin. I'll have someone take you to the cave to put your things down first. You can rest for a while and then come to the party!"
Yao replied, "Thank you very much for the warm invitation from the Eagle Beast Tribe. We'll be leaving now."
A level 5 single male came over, smiled at Lin Ni, and then said to Yao, "Hello, Yao! I'm Su, please come with me."
Su led them to the west side of the square and soon arrived at a house tree: "This is a two-story house tree. You can live inside. There is also a cave behind it, which is also prepared for you. It depends on where you like to live, or you can live in both. There are no orcs living in this row of house trees and caves. There are some non-flying tribesmen living there on the east side, but most of the orcs in our tribe live on the mountain."
Su then led Linni and the others to visit the treehouse and the cave behind it. The treehouse was very clean on both sides, but there was nothing inside except for a grass nest on the first floor. The cave was a large cave, also very clean, and contained a grass nest and a stone pot, with firewood and other supplies readily available. After looking around, Yao smiled and said to Su, "Both places are very nice. Thank you so much, Eagle Beast Tribe! Since there are many of us, let's stay in both places. Thank you again, Su! We'll go to the bonfire party after we've settled in."
Su nodded and pointed to the south, saying, "There's a small lake over there. If you need water, just go there to get it. Do you need any help?"
Yao smiled and declined, "No need, thank you!"
Su then looked at Lin Ni: "Well then, Lin, see you later!"
Lin Ni could only smile at him and say, "Su, see you later!"
Su was delighted to hear Lin Ni's words and wanted to say something more, but Ye impatiently blocked Lin Ni's way, so Su could only leave reluctantly.
Yao discussed with Linni, saying, "How about we live in the treehouse, and cook and do our own cooking in the cave? What do you think?"
The cave and the treehouse are only a few meters apart, so it's actually quite convenient. Linni nodded, "Okay!"
