Chapter 711 - 710, Joining _1
In a cave not far away, several undecided clan leaders were solemnly seated, each frowning, glancing outside the cave now and then, as if awaiting some beast.
Sure enough, after a while, a small figure darted in from outside the cave - it was a drab mouse beast.
No sooner had the mouse beast entered the cave than it transformed into a skinny orc. Sitting down heavily on a Beast Skin cushion, it huffed and puffed a few times, and said somewhat fearfully, "That was really too risky. If it weren’t for the smell-blocking herbs, I’m afraid I would have been discovered by Ya Li long ago."
The Orc Clan Leaders weren’t there to hear him speak. They were scratching their heads, revealing an anxious expression as if they were Gorilla Beasts: "No more beating around the bush, tell us what Ya Li said!"
The orc nodded, "Just now I heard one orc saying that if the Watson tribe’s food were to be divided between just two middle-ranking tribes, there would still be a lot left over. However, if we all joined in, there might be very little left after the distribution, so they do not wish to include too many orcs."
The Clan leaders looked stunned: "By Amu! Just how much food does the Watson tribe have that they can divide it among all their tribes and still have some left?"
The orcs glanced at each other, their resolve reflected in their eyes: "Such a good thing, how can we let these two middle-ranking tribes grab it all? What are we still considering? While others are awaiting the distribution of food, we are still hesitating."
"Yes, such a good thing, where else can we find it? Besides, who knows if the increasingly powerful Watson tribe will still look up to our small tribes."
"That’s right, we should seize this opportunity to join, contribute to the tribe, and when we excel, our offspring might even be rewarded by Shaman Ji Nuan with Beast God fruit, just like Ya Li, and evolve."
The very mention of this was like dangling a big game before their eyes. The clan leaders were so excited, as if they could see the day their offspring, or perhaps they themselves, would evolve into superior orcs.
"What are we waiting for, let’s go. Isn’t Ya Li still awake? Let’s tell him our decision now and strive to move to the Watson Tribe sooner."
Moving as soon as they decided, the clan leaders instantly sprung from the Beast Skin cushions, rushing in a whoosh towards the cave where Ya Li was located.
"Have you made your decision already? Aren’t you going to go back and discuss it?" asked Ya Li, squinting his eyes and looking at the orcs in front of him.
The Clan leaders nodded sincerely, "What’s there to discuss? If there isn’t a shaman in our tribe, our decision stands."
"Alright then!" Ya Li nodded somewhat regretfully, "In that case, I will wait here for you. Go back to your tribe and pack your things. Bring your clansfolk here, and we will return together."
After all the clan leaders had left, the mouse beast that had just gone out to deliver the news appeared before Ya Li again: "The task you assigned has been done. Now..."
Ya Li nodded, "Don’t worry, return to pack your things. Bring your clansfolk here. In the tribe, I will plead with Shaman Ji Nuan to help treat your Amu."
The orc left the cave, tears of gratitude streaming down his face.
