Chapter 171 The Arrival of the Jackal Clan
The arrival of the jackal tribe was unexpected by the eastern tribes.
The patrol teams of the Eastern Tribe now patrol twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.
When the jackal tribe orcs arrived, they encountered the orcs patrolling from the eastern tribes.
When they saw the jackal tribe carrying their prey to their door, they assumed they were there to thank them for their previous assistance.
Yong is still leading the team today, while Sen rarely goes out anymore.
One reason is that he is a snake, which has the habit of hibernation, and the cold weather makes him prone to drowsiness.
Another point is that ever since he and Ruan Mianmian realized their feelings for each other, he has been unwilling to leave Ruan Mianmian's side easily.
Yong saw Mu and his group approaching from afar, and his eyes were immediately drawn to the large amount of food they were carrying.
A joyful smile immediately spread across his face. He stepped forward briskly and said warmly, "Oh my, Brother Mu, you're too kind! Helping you earlier was just a small favor, nothing more than what I should do. I never expected you to come all this way, bringing such a generous feast!"
At this moment, Mu also noticed Yong's joyful expression and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems this visit will have a good start, which may avoid many unnecessary entanglements and troubles.
However, when he heard what Yong said next, his slightly relaxed nerves tightened again.
Mu smiled wryly and shook his head, then said sincerely to Yong, "Wolf King, no, no, I should call you Brother Yong now. To be honest, I have come here today with an important matter to ask of you. So, I humbly request that you pass on my message so that I may have the honor of meeting your tribe's chief."
Yong, who was originally overjoyed, froze on his face after hearing Mu's words.
He knew perfectly well that the other party's visit was not simply to express gratitude, but rather that they had ulterior motives.
However, what exactly was being sought? Yong couldn't quite figure it out for a moment, but his intuition told him that this matter was probably not too simple.
"You wish to see our clan leader? Then please wait here for a moment, and I will go back and inform him."
Although Yong has a forthright personality, he dared not make decisions on his own when faced with such an important matter.
He gestured for the jackal orcs to wait patiently at the entrance of the valley, then turned and galloped like the wind towards the direction of the tribe.
A short while later, Yong returned to the cave located inside the mountain.
Upon meeting Chief Ruan Mianmian, he immediately gave her a detailed report on the visit of the Jackal Clan and conveyed their wish to pay their respects.
Ruan Mianmian was sitting on a rock, deep in thought, when she heard Yong's words and froze in place.
"Visiting me? And bringing such a huge amount of food?" She frowned, pondering to herself.
“That’s right, leader. And that guy in charge always looks so worried. I think they’ve come here to ask for something, and it’s probably something quite big!”
As Yong spoke, he observed the changes in Ruan Mianmian's expression.
Ruan Mianmian nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Yong's opinion.
The sudden visit from the jackal clan is certainly not just a simple greeting or exchange.
As for their purpose, it is currently unknown.
However, the most crucial issue at this moment is that a decision must be made quickly.
If you think there's absolutely no need to pay attention to this group of wolves-like people, then you can simply and ruthlessly expel them from the country.
But what if something else is involved?
Perhaps we should listen to their wishes and demands first, and then consider how to handle this matter more appropriately.
After a moment of contemplation, Ruan Mianmian gestured to Yong, indicating that he could bring Mu along. As for the items they brought and the other orcs, she did not want to see them at the moment.
Upon receiving the order, Yong dared not delay for a moment and immediately turned around and hurriedly ran towards the entrance of the valley.
At this moment, Mu and his companions waited anxiously in place. Every minute and every second was extremely precious, and it was hard to predict how much longer their own people could hold on. If they could see the powerful shaman from the Eastern tribe as soon as possible, they could start treating their injured and sick people sooner.
Just then, Yong strode over quickly and shouted to Mu, "Mu, our chief has agreed to see you! However, only you, the orc, are allowed to enter our cave. As for your people and the food, you can leave them here for now."
