The Great Plains

Since both sides were willing, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong had no objections. "Let's do it this way."

Jian Mo took the basket from his back. "We brought some supplies for Xing Yuan, you can give them to him."

Yun Long: "Just give us the supplies you brought."

As she spoke, Yun Long smiled and said, "This is a matter of friendship between you and Xing Yuan. This child is smart and loyal; he knows all of this."

Jian Mo waved her hand. "I just hope he can live a better life; I have no other thoughts."

Wu Jiong said, "If he doesn't adapt to life in your tribe, you can send him to our Riverside Tribe."

Yun Long in surprise, "Aren't all the people in your tribe cats and dogs in animal form?"

Wu Jiong: "Humans are more important, but having other beast forms isn't out of the question. Our tribe has had members with other beast forms before."

When orcs and sub-orcs become partners, it's not just the sub-orcs who live in orc tribes; sometimes orcs also live in sub-orc tribes. The Riverside Tribe, for example, has taken in several orcs who live with sub-orcs.

Hearing them say that, Jian Mo casually inquired about the situation of the Xing Yuan Form.

Xing Yuan's beast form has been confirmed; it will resemble a mammoth and grow to be very large and fierce.

Jian Mo was quite happy for the little one when she heard the news.

In any case, being strong is always a good thing.

Neither Jian Mo nor Wu Jiong had any objections. After consulting with Xing Yuan, the Mengshui Tribe found him a middle-aged couple with relatively good conditions to adopt him.

His two adoptive fathers were overjoyed that they were able to successfully adopt him, and they specially prepared a room and clothes for Xing Yuan, which were clearly very thoughtful.

Seeing this, Jian Mo and Wu Jiong felt slightly relieved.

After dealing with Xing Yuan's matter, Yun Long spoke with Wu Jiong and the others about serious business, "The fact that Xing Yuan was able to wander here with the beast herd means that many beasts have migrated here. We'd like to go and take a look. Would your tribe like to come along? That way, we can look out for each other."

Wu Jiong: "Have you asked Xing Yuan?"

Yun Long nodded. "I've asked around, and indeed many beasts have come to the vast plains outside. We should send a team of beastmen to hunt them; they should be able to catch quite a few prey."

Wu Jiong thought for a moment, then said, "I need to go back and discuss this with my people."

Yun Long smiled and said, "Then we'll wait for your news. Whether you go or not, please send someone to let us know. If you don't go, we'll go ourselves."

Wu Jiong agreed, "Okay, I'll send someone over to give you an answer tomorrow."

On the way back, Jian Mo sat on Jiujiu's back and asked Wu Jiong behind her in confusion, "Where is that vast plain outside? Isn't our tribe and Mengshui Tribe located in the territory of the Yigu Tribe?"

Wu Jiong circled him and explained in detail, "Below the Yigu Tribe lies a large plain where many wild animals migrate every spring and summer. It's quite dangerous, and there are many wild animals there. It doesn't belong to any tribe yet; it's unclaimed territory."

Jian Mo asked curiously, "Then why bother? In this situation, can't we just go hunting?"

Wu Jiong: "The road from our tribe to the Great Plains is quite long, and it's not easy to carry the prey back. If the beast tide doesn't come, it's not worth the trip."

Jian Mo: "Xing Yuan has brought us definite news. He must have gained a lot from that trip, right?"

Wu Jiong: "That depends on how many people want to go. If there are too few people, it's not worth it, but if there are many, it's fine. Let's go back to the tribe and ask first. After asking, we don't necessarily have to go with the Mengshui Tribe. We might go as a separate group."

Jian Mo: "Anyway, there are many things to consider, so we can't agree rashly."

Wu Jiong laughed, "That's exactly what I mean."

Chapter 89 The Great Plains

All the adults on the riverbank sat in an open space for a meeting to decide whether or not to go hunting on the Great Plains.

The younger children listened in from the sidelines, learning how to handle tribal affairs.

After Wu Jiong explained the situation, many people supported going hunting on the Great Plains, while many others opposed it.

Supporters stated:

"Now that the beast tide is coming, we can bring back plenty of food with one trip, so why not go?"

"Let's take advantage of this time to make a trip and hunt more game. That will make things much easier for us for a while, and we'll even have time to do other things."

"Yes, we won't have to rush around for the upcoming full moon and summer festival, and we can relax a bit."

Those who oppose it also have very valid reasons:

"The beast tide is coming. There's plenty of food, but it's also very dangerous. Getting injured would be a real problem."

"It's already spring, the tribe has no shortage of food, there's no need."

"If you want to hunt, there are plenty of migratable prey in the tribe, so you don't need to travel so far."

Everyone expressed their opinions, and no one could convince anyone else. The voices grew louder and louder, and they were about to start arguing.

Jian Mo glanced around and saw that among the tribe's core members, De Jiang disagreed with going, while Qing Kuo expressed his willingness to take the risk.

Looking at Wu Jiong again, Wu Jiong had no expression, and even Jian Mo couldn't tell whether he agreed or disagreed.

Jian Mo belongs to the group of people who are willing to go out.

He was confident in Wu Jiong's strength and also wanted to witness the beast tide on the Great Plains.

But everyone was arguing so loudly that he didn't dare to say anything.

After everyone finished arguing, Wu Jiong called for a vote.

In the end, the number of people willing to go hunting won by a narrow margin.

Wu Jiong then asked those who wanted to go to sign up, while those who did not want to go could stay in the tribe to guard their homeland.

Wu Jiong sent someone to the Mengshui Tribe to inform them, and the two tribes finally agreed on a departure date.

Jian Mo had never gone hunting before, and she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness about going on a spring outing.

He asked Wu Jiong, "How did you go hunting before? Were there many injured people?"

Wu Jiong said, "Not many. Orcs rarely get injured. Most injuries occur when they are gored or bitten by wild animals while hunting. Even when hunting within the tribe, there is still a risk of injury, but there are fewer wild animals in the tribe, so the number of injured is not high."
