The Survival of the Wild Tribe

61

If Lu Zhan hadn't finished speaking, everyone present could have guessed what he meant.

In this world, tribes don't live in peace. Perhaps during other seasons when food is plentiful, they engage in some trading activities with other tribes. But when winter comes, when there's really no food to hunt, hungry tribes will look to other tribes.

That's also why the Black Panther tribe rejected outsiders so much. After all, many of their tribesmen lost their lives at the hands of outsiders. Or maybe the tribe was severely injured after they came here, so they had to accept outsiders to join.

But even so, those who join can only serve as followers and give birth to new members for the Panthers.

"Are you saying they'll try to impose their ideas on us?" Luo Zhen asked, swallowing.

Lu Zhan nodded.

"But we have walls and wooden houses. To other tribes, we should be a powerful tribe, right? Would they recklessly attack us?" A Qing said, still very confident in his tribe.

"Our tribe is too small," Kadotake pointed out, focusing on the problem.

Yes, their current tribe is too small. In the past, for convenience, the wooden houses were not far apart. Even with the addition of the ice city wall, the area is only a quarter of the original Black Panther tribe. No, this size is just a small tribe that doesn't pose a threat to anyone.

Even their walls and wooden houses will become coveted by others. After all, anyone with a bit of brains can see how attractive these things are. Even in winter, they can provide enough safety to a tribe. The price is just to kill the people living in them.

Orcs are different from beasts. They won't be stopped by a mere ice city wall. They know how to climb, how to ambush, have rich combat experience, and know how to deal with orcs.

"Tomorrow I'll go out to check the situation. If someone chased the stag here, there should be traces left."

"I'll go with you, and you both can take care of it," Kadotake suggested, looking at Lu Zhan.

Lu Zhan nodded, then gestured to the stag resting after eating, asking Luo Zhen, "What about that stag? Should I send it back to their territory?"

Luo Zhen looked at the stag and shook his head slightly. "Forget it, let it stay here for a few days, and send it back when its injury is better."

Lu Zhan didn't have any objections; he was even wondering if he could use this matter to gain some benefits from the huge stag. The stag must have lived for many years, and there should be many valuable things left.

Early the next morning, Luo Zhen prepared a day's worth of food for the two of them and packed it into backpacks for them to eat on the road. He told them to pay attention to safety. Even if they accidentally encountered others, they should never go with people from other tribes head-to-head.

After changing the new herb for the stag, Luo Zhen was about to prepare food for the injured guest.

All the wild cabbage grown at home was eaten by the stag last night. Even though the stag hadn’t been an adult for long, its food intake was not small. Now, most of the plant's leaves have long since dried up, leaving only grass roots buried under the snow as food for the stag.

"Great Witch, do you want to find food for the stag?" Axue brought A Shui and A Hua, two little kids, over early in the morning and saw Luo Zhen carrying a backpack and a pair of bone tweezers to go out. She asked him.

"Well, there's nothing suitable for the stag to eat. I plan to dig some grass roots in the tribe and come back," Luo Zhen smiled.

Axue rolled her eyes and said, "I'll help you dig too." Then, she let go of the two children's hands, ran home, and grabbed her tools.
