Chapter 630 - 22: Cannon Fodder Bootlicker in the Beast World Farming Novel
The weather warms up, and life goes on as usual.
In this forest, if not disturbed by the Bear Clan, other Beast Clans dare not casually invade the Wolf Clan’s territory.
Not to mention that this territory now houses members of the Bear Clan, raising their cubs.
Not long after the peaceful days, there was a commotion outside the walls.
Ayuan on the lookout tower was the first to spot the figure lurking in the forest.
The figure was very familiar, and after a closer look, he immediately recognized it. Upon realizing the identity, Ayuan directly found Jiang Lai.
"Leader, there are wolves outside the courtyard walls, from the old tribe."
Jiang Lai was studying silkworm breeding.
Hearing this, her hands continued picking mulberry leaves.
"Who is it?"
"Looks like the brothers from the previous hunting group. Shall I go out and have a look?"
Jiang Lai didn’t even lift her head.
"Go if you want to."
Ayuan looked at Jiang Lai’s expressionless face.
Jiang Lai sighed.
"Why do you always look at my mood before doing anything?"
"You’re the leader."
"I’m the leader, and I’ve just told you that you can go if you want, so why ponder over my thoughts again?"
Treat her as the leader, just listen to her.
Why think about guessing her thoughts?
Ayuan lowered his head.
"Hmm, I understand."
Watching him turn and leave, Jiang Lai shook her head and continued cleaning each mulberry leaf picked in the basket.
Silkworms are fragile, if they eat mulberry leaves with water and dust, they could easily die.
Jiang Lai planned to make silkworm breeding her primary task of the year, so every step in the process couldn’t go wrong.
Ayuan opened the door and left the tribe alone.
In the forest, the giant wolf slowly emerged, then transformed into a human shape.
"Ayuan, it’s been a while."
"How did you find this place? Hei Yao."
"I came with the brothers to hunt, and happened to stumble upon it. What is this place? I haven’t seen it before."
Ayuan glanced around.
Sure enough, there were a few pairs of eyes silently watching from the depths of the forest.
They have returned.
It took nearly half a year for them to come back.
"You don’t need to know where this is, leave quickly."
Hei Yao looked up, gazing at the impenetrable wall. He recalled what other beastmen said in the forest, feeling unstoppable curiosity about what was inside.
"The tribe has been crushed by snow, everyone’s considering moving to a new home. Ayuan, where are the old leaders? I came to take you all together."
Take them away?
Ayuan, this serious wolf, almost laughed.
"We’ve moved to a new tribe, now following a new leader, you don’t need to take us.
Leave here."
Hei Yao’s gaze sank.
He didn’t expect that in just half a year, Ayuan would lead the rebellion against the tribe.
"Because of your departure, our previous tribe was crushed by snow. Now you say you’ve moved to a new tribe, do you think the clansmen will accept these words?"
"Whether you accept them or not is none of my business. When you left, you said you’d be back soon.
But how long have you been gone?
What makes you think, after being gone so long, I could lead those elders through this harsh winter?"
Hei Yao fell silent.
He was speechless.
Because they had guessed before returning to the tribe, they might already be dead.
But he didn’t expect, while hunting, he could spot Ayuan in such a fortification-like tribe.
Seeing his mental state and physique, it was clear he was living rather comfortably here.
As for them, during this half-year migration, they were starved to skin and bones.
Seeing their ever-watching eyes, Ayuan’s face turned cold, unceremoniously saying.
"Don’t even think about it, this place isn’t somewhere you can enter at will, go back."
Hei Yao chuckled, masking his embarrassment.
"Hmm, seeing that you’re doing well, I’m relieved. Actually, we plan to build a new territory. This area seems nice, why don’t we be neighbors in the future?"
There are many tribes under the mountain, and if they want to settle here, no one can stop them.
Ayuan said nothing, watching as they walked into the depths of the forest before feeling assured to return to the tribe.
He conveyed Hei Yao’s intentions to Jiang Lai.
"They’re doing it on purpose."
"I know."
Building beside them only has one purpose, to study why their tribe is doing so well.
Like many Beast Tribe villages now, they’ve migrated to the foot of the snowy mountain.
They think, perhaps this soil is more suitable for planting.
Perhaps the climate is better here.
Anyway, here it must be better than elsewhere, to allow the tribe to grow larger, even defeating the formerly most powerful Bear Clan in the forest.
Jiang Lai doesn’t care about these things.
In the Beast World, it’s the law of the jungle. Until the civilized order is thoroughly established, if these Beast Clans dare to invade, she’ll repay double and might even use them for hotpot.
On the other hand, Hei Yao and his group silently returned to their previous tribe.
Looking at the chaos here, everything is desolate and dilapidated, clearly damaged multiple times by other Beast Clans.
This winter was too hard to bear.
Especially outside the tribe, the world is even darker and scarier.
Recalling the events encountered along the way, Hei Yao couldn’t help but tremble inside.
Several times they were close to the tribe’s extinction.
Finally, they returned to the previous tribe only to find it tragically unbearable.
"Where’s the leader?"
There are few clansmen left now, and of the batch of cubs taken, only three survived and have grown considerably.
Upon being asked about the leader, the three cubs pointed behind.
"The leader went to the back."
Hei Yao instantly understood what Mu Mianmian went to do, when he arrived inside the fence in the back, he saw Mu Mianmian walking over with a gloomy expression.
"What’s wrong?"
The other party slowly raised her head, looking at him.
"The food I stored has been stolen."
"How much did you store?"
"No matter how much, it’s all stolen!!"
Mu Mianmian’s voice had a sharp edge, her expression carried a hint of madness.
She didn’t expect to fight her way back only to face such a scene.
The granary was empty, even the jerky buried deep underground had been completely stolen!
After hearing this, Hei Yao looked at her, with suspicion in his eyes.
"Are you sure it’s all stolen?"
"What do you mean?!"
Mu Mianmian fiercely glared at him.
Her voice was oppressive.
"Speak up, what do you mean? Do you think I secretly hid it away not sharing with you all?"
Hei Yao remained silent, this silence was more akin to a direct admission, fueling Mu Mianmian’s growing anger internally.
"Hei Yao, I thought in this tribe, the only one I could trust was you, the only one who understood me was also you, but now it seems you’re worse than the leader of the Snake Clan!"
"Why bring him up?"
