Chapter 410 They came to visit one after another
After leaving the valley, Zhong walked along, muttering unhappily, "What exactly does this Eastern tribe mean? Do they harbor resentment towards our gorilla tribe? I traveled all this way to pay a visit, and I can't even get to see the chief. I even prepared a thoughtful gift!"
Hearing this, Shi turned and glanced at Zhong, replying irritably, "Hmph, who do you think you are? How could our leader possibly have a problem with you! Our leader is a magnanimous person. Right now, she's busy with something important, I think it's called... postpartum confinement! In short, she needs to take good care of herself. Don't even mention you, even for us internal members, it's not easy to see the leader normally!"
Upon hearing this, Zhong gave an awkward smile, scratched his head, and said, "Oh, I see. That puts my mind at ease. But speaking of which, I wonder if the Eastern leader gave birth to a male cub or a cute little female? And what kind of magical species is it? After all, I heard that the male is a primordial dragon, so the cub must be extraordinary, right?"
Hearing Zhong's concerned inquiry, Shi glanced around before lowering her voice and whispering in Zhong's ear, "Let me tell you, this time the leader laid two eggs! And one is male, the other female! What's even more amazing is that they are the legendary Golden Dragon and Fire Phoenix!"
"Wh...what!" Upon hearing this news, Zhong's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and he was so shocked that he almost cried out.
After looking around, Shi looked at Zhong meaningfully and said, "Zhong, after all, I am also a gorilla beastman. Since you've come this time, I'll have a heart-to-heart talk with you."
Upon hearing this, Zhong nodded hurriedly. After all, Shi was a former shaman of his tribe, and also a gorilla beastman, so it was impossible for him to harm him.
Shi sighed and said, "I haven't told you this before, but the reason I joined the Eastern Tribe is because I haven't received any guidance from the Beast God for almost a year. When I first learned that the Eastern Tribe had a Great Shaman, I wondered if I wasn't skilled enough. At first, I came with the attitude of learning from the Great Shaman."
As he said this, his eyes suddenly lit up. "There are some things I can't say too clearly, but you need to know that I would never harm you or any of the beastmen in the Ape Tribe. Go back and talk to Shan and the others; really consider joining our tribe!"
Zhong hesitated upon hearing this, after all, his tribe was large and one of the largest tribes on the plains. If he rashly joined another tribe, not to mention whether he, as the leader, was willing, his tribesmen might not be willing to give up their homeland to join another tribe.
How could Shi not know what he was thinking? He continued, "I won't say anything else, just look at Mao from the Hyena Clan and Mu from the Jackal Clan. Why did they shamelessly join our tribe? Now, let alone our tribe having a divine beast, let's talk about Mao. Didn't Mao used to follow you and Lie around? But now, if you take Mao out, neither you nor Lie might be his match."
Upon hearing this, Zhong exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! Someone like Mao, I could kill him with a single slap!"
Shi shook his head helplessly, "Zhong, don't be arrogant. Ever since Mao joined the Eastern Tribe, he has been learning from the tribe's beastmen every day and has made rapid progress. In the last tribal competition, he defeated three strong beastmen by himself."
Zhong stared wide-eyed, his heart filled with shock.
Seizing the opportunity, he added, "Our Eastern tribes have unique training methods and a variety of amazing herbal resources. By joining us, you can also share in these benefits."
Zhong lowered his head in thought, thinking of the old, weak, sick, and disabled in his tribe. If they could truly become stronger, it would indeed be very tempting. But he was still worried, "What about our homeland? It holds our memories and traditions from many years ago."
Shi smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. If you're willing, you can keep some of your people in your original habitat while the rest come and experience life in the Eastern tribes."
He raised his head, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. "I'll think about it some more. I'll go back and discuss it with my people."
Shi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I hope you can make the right decision. This concerns the future of the entire tribe."
Zhong nodded after hearing this, and left with a belly full of thoughts. Shi looked at his former leader and thought to himself, "Zhong, don't keep me waiting too long."
Once Shi had returned to the valley, the jackal beastman who had been hiding nearby slowly peeked out. He had only been checking the area and had stopped standing there, embarrassed, after discovering Shi and Zhong had come out. He hadn't expected to overhear these words.
He ran quickly back to their temporary residence, found the leader, and repeated the conversation between the two of them to him.
Mu was surprised to discover that not only the hyena tribe, but also the gorilla tribe, the lion tribe, and other tribes would eventually join the Eastern tribe.
Their Jackal Tribe is not only outnumbered, but also far weaker overall. Their most important task now is to guard the entrance to the valley and strive to achieve results so that the Eastern Tribes can see their sincerity in accepting them.
A few days later, Lion Clan leader Lie and his orcs came to congratulate the Eastern Tribe leader on the birth of his cub, and were received by the Great Shaman Zhi.
Of course, Lie also did not see Ruan Mianmian. The answer he received was the same as that from the gorilla tribe: their leader was in confinement after childbirth.
Although Lie was unfamiliar with the term "postpartum confinement," his keen intuition allowed him to understand that the leader of the Eastern tribe needed ample time to recuperate after giving birth.
Therefore, he gently placed the gifts he had brought aside, and then led his people slowly out of the valley.
When they arrived outside the valley, Lie immediately spotted the jackal orcs who were holding their posts and guarding the area.
These orcs patrolled the perimeter with serious expressions and focused attention, as if no movement could escape their sharp eyes.
Witnessing this scene, Lie couldn't help but ponder to himself.
Recalling his time in Zhi's room, he had noticed Mao. The Mao of today, both in his mental state and the strength he displayed, was worlds apart from the Mao before he joined the Eastern Tribe.
This tremendous change fueled Lie's growing curiosity and desire to explore the Eastern tribes.
In addition, not long ago, Lie had subtly inquired whether their leader's newborn cub was male or female, and was also curious whether the legendary dragon's son was also among the atavistic beastmen.
However, when faced with such a question, the other party simply replied casually, "The chief has given birth to two cubs, one male and one female."
That was all.
Lie knew that such a brief reply must conceal some unknown secret. But what exactly was this secret?
In an instant, countless questions flooded his mind, making Lie even more eager to uncover the truth behind the mysterious veil of the Eastern tribes...
