Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Leaving the Wilderness
"Oh no..."
"Wooaah~"
"Hoo~ ya hoo!"
The Stone-Breaking Beastmen, too, were roused by such words, each stretching their necks and howling loudly, their voices so resounding they could almost overturn the mountaintop.
Meanwhile, the Winged Tiger Clan members in the small cave were clenching their fists in anticipation, eager to rush out and give their new tribesmen a big embracing hug. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
There were roughly over three hundred Stone-Breaking Beastmen. Ever since the Weasel Clan members joined the Winged Tiger Tribe, the total population of the Winged Tiger Tribe barely approached three hundred. Now, the tribe’s population had instantly doubled.
The more members in the tribe, the better it could develop. Correspondingly, the consumption of the tribe’s resources would also increase sharply.
Once the Stone-Breaking Beastmen had filled their bellies, Su Tang, along with Aunt Hongguo and several other females, distributed the surplus Beast Skin Clothes from the tribe to the females and cubs among the Stone-Breaking Beastmen.
Given the limited number of Beast Skin Clothes, they were first given to the cubs and the older females in poor health. The other females were each given a piece of beast skin as a temporary measure.
As for the Beastmen...
The Winged Tiger Beastmen didn’t have any beast skin clothes, nor should the Stone-Breaking Beastmen. Equality for all!
Everything was settled by late night, around 11 P.M.
The infirm elder Beastmen and females stayed above, while the other Stone-Breaking Beastmen went back to the lower level caves to rest, needing to wake up early the next day to continue their journey.
The Beastmen of the Winged Tiger Tribe knew the Stone-Breaking Beastmen were about to join their tribe and live with them.
The Stone-Breaking Beastmen also understood they were about to join the Winged Tiger Tribe, having new tribesmen and moving to a new tribal land.
Although the Beastmen from both sides hadn’t officially met, they had slowly accepted each other in their hearts. As the Winged Tiger Tribe’s priest proclaimed, they were all one family!
So, the next morning, when the Stone-Breaking Beastmen and the Winged Tiger Clan members had their first formal meeting, the atmosphere was surprisingly cordial, as if they had always been one tribe.
...
"Why.... Why is it like this? What on earth has happened to the Wilderness?!"
Huang Yuan incredulously widened his eyes, gazing at the once familiar scenery outside the cave that had now drastically changed. Terror filled his heart.
"This is the wrath of the Mountain God. That’s why I told you the Wilderness is no longer suitable for survival!"
Yadang reached out, patting Huang Yuan’s shoulder in comfort.
Following that, he walked to the forefront of the queue to discuss the migration route with Gaiyin and Ma Qing.
Not only Huang Yuan, but all the Stone-Breaking Beastmen had faces full of unbearable sorrow.
However, with time pressing, there wasn’t much left to mourn. They needed to migrate to the new tribal land immediately.
The rainy season was more than half over. Before setting off, Yadang specifically divined that the following ten days would be clear skies, so they needed to arrive at their destination within these ten days!
Once they reached the new tribal land, sure to be barren, they would need to allocate more people for the tribe’s construction, hunting, and food storage for winter!
Moreover, there was another crucial matter. They needed to find a way to exchange food for salt from the Antelope Tribe, or else it would be challenging to survive through the winter.
The group soon made ready to set off, sheltering all the females and cubs at the center of the procession. Considering the Stone-Breaking Beastmen might not have fully recovered, the Winged Tiger Clan members formed protective flanks at both ends of the group.
After everything was ready, Gaiyin bellowed at the front of the group, and the procession stretching hundreds of meters began its grand advance.
From this moment forth, they left the Wilderness, heading for new tribal lands, and embarked on a new Chapter...
