Chapter 709 - 708, Answer _1
The cat beast besides Xiu Yan, upon hearing the words, nodded its head. With a graceful leap, it disappeared into the house.
By nightfall, Ji Nuan’s message had reached Uncle Ya Li. Without delay, he went straight to Uncle Ya Li to convey Shaman Ji Nuan’s intentions.
The orcs breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully the tribal chiefs hadn’t returned to their tribes due to the distance they needed to travel. Otherwise, it would be too late to inform them now.
That night, tribal chiefs gathered once again in Uncle Ya Li’s Cave.
"Why have we been called here so late?"
"Yes, you out of all people. We were supposed to head back to our tribes in the morning to discuss joining the Watson Tribe. Now we are disrupting the beast’s sleep."
Ya Li cleared his throat lightly, and all the orcs immediately stopped their complaints, obediently sitting on their beast skins, blinking their large eyes and sitting quietly and obediently in rows.
Uncle Ya Li sighed: "You old guys, acting so arrogant in front of me. But now before Ya Li, you all turn into obedient sheep."
A slightly robust orc chuckled: "Well that’s because you’re not as strong as the others. If you were an evolved orc, we’d definitely fear you too, haha."
The rest of the orcs laughed as they heard this.
Rolling his eyes, Uncle Ya Li waved them off: "Enough. The reason why I’ve called all of you here so late is because there’s important news."
He glanced at Ya Li: "Today, we received a message from the Watson Tribe’s messenger. Shaman Ji Nuan said, ’the Watson Tribe’s recruitment capacity is limited, hence everyone only has a day to consider, they won’t wait for latecomers.’"
He looked at the clan leaders gravely: "So, we must all make our decision by tomorrow morning, or there won’t be another chance."
"What!"
"That’s too short a time, we can’t go back and discuss with our tribes."
"Indeed. Can we speak to Shaman Ji Nuan and ask to go back and discuss this with our people before deciding?"
Then, a strange orc’s voice echoed from outside the cave: "Shaman Ji Nuan said, ’the tribe does not lack orcs, too many orcs would only bring trouble. They would need to build more houses, make more food, etc. The tribe doesn’t have the capacity to teach too many new members, so they should lessen the amount of recruits.’"
"So..." The orc walked into the cave and sat next to Ya Li: "The time won’t change. You chiefs only have the rest of this night."
"You are...?" The clan leaders studied the slightly thin orc in front of them, asking in confusion.
The orc laughed, giving a polite bow: "I am part of the Watson Tribe’s messenger group."
It was clear now, this orc was the one who had brought Shaman Ji Nuan’s orders.
To travel back and forth between the Watson Tribe and their current location in such a short time, his speed must be exceptionally fast.
The scent in the air reminded them, a cat beast?
For an elusive cat beast, such speed was hardly owned by those ordinary ones.
Ya Li glanced at the cat beast beside him: "He, being an evolved orc too, stays by Shaman Ji Nuan’s side. There’s no doubt that the orders he has brought are from Shaman Ji Nuan."
After contemplating among themselves, the clan leaders responded: "Then we should go back and consider this matter. We’ll give your tribe an answer by tomorrow morning."
