Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Weasel Tribe 9
Gaiyin quickly returned to Su Tang’s side, acting as if nothing had happened.
He glared fiercely at Yadang, who was looking at him with a half-mocking smile.
"Tangtang, Chief, you are back. Come eat some roast meat, it’s still hot!"
Red Fruit hands over two pieces of hot roasted meat skewered on a branch.
Gaiyin takes them and immediately passes one to Su Tang. "Eat quickly!"
"By the way, Aunt Hongguo, I’m holding a mushroom. You should take the female members of the tribe around and collect any that look like it. Just be careful not to pick up the red, purple, or black mushrooms. Those are not edible!"
As she speaks, Su Tang passes the white mushroom in her hand to Red Fruit.
Red Fruit takes it and looks at it carefully, before nodding. "Okay, got it. You two eat while it’s still hot, I’ll take the females to search around."
Although yesterday’s earthquake was unexpected, everyone did manage to bring some useful things.
The females are all carrying baskets on their backs, old Nike didn’t forget to bring the herbal medicines he had previously collected, and Yadang has wrapped all the salt tightly in large green leaves and placed it with Nike’s herbs.
All the chestnuts and beast skins of the tribe are safely stored in Su Tang’s space. Except for the pottery, and the big wild yam planted near the stream, there’s really nothing of sentimental value that’s lost!
Just as everyone was eating happily, Meng Ze suddenly came over and said, "Chief, a Beastman claiming to be the tribal chief of the Weasel Tribe has come to see you! He brought his tribe members with him!"
Gaiyin quickly finishes the roast meat in his hand, "Let them come!"
Stretching her neck, Su Tang saw Ma Qing leading his people towards them from afar. However, the appearance of his tribe members was a little strange...
Several older females were helped along by the younger ones, starved cubs only left with their skeletons, and a dozen or more Beastmen that were injured, including Tian Ding that Su Tang recognized!
When compared to the corpulent Beastmen of the Winged Tiger Tribe, the Weasel Tribe members seemed like they crawled out of a slum!
How were they managing to stay alive in a tribe like this, Su Tang wondered?
Gaiyin lightly patted Su Tang on the head, "Stop watching, eat quickly!"
The roast meat seasoned only with salt didn’t quite meet Su Tang’s taste. After hurriedly eating a few bites, she gave the rest to Gaiyin, and whispered something in his ear.
Gaiyin smiled indulgently and said, "Alright, then you have to eat more..."
Su Tang nodded happily. Taking advantage of everyone’s attention drawn by the Weasel Tribe, she threw some chestnuts into the fire.
After these subtle actions, the members of the Weasel Tribe had arrived!
Making a serious face, Ma Qing stepped forward, raising his right hand in a fist on his chest, a typical Beast World salute!
"Ma Qing of the Weasel Tribe greets the Chief!"
Gaiyin didn’t tell him to rise or not rise, seemingly testing him. He casually asked, "What brings you here?"
Ma Qing remained on one knee, a hint of indescribable embarrassment passing over his lowered face. "Chief, my Weasel Tribe experienced a disaster last night. Now, only a few dozen of us remain. We wish to join the Winged Tiger Tribe and we beg the Chief to take us in!"
"We beg the Chief to take us in!"
The Beastmen, females, and cubs of the Weasel Tribe behind Ma Qing all knelt on the ground and echoed in unison.
