Chapter 124 - Grass Tribe (2/2)

After Zhu Zhan said so, everyone began to head west.

The forest around them was no different from the forest they used to live in, but at this time, the people of the Big Bear Tribe still felt that something was different.

“So this is what the Beastman Continent is like!”

“Say, do you guys think that the priests of the Beast God Temple can really communicate with the Beast God?”

“Is there a lot of good food here?”

“Does clothing from the big tribes look even better than Zhou Ji’s?”

……

Xiong Qi and others talked non-stop, and even Xiong Ye was very curious about everything around them.

Unfortunately, he looked left and right for a long time and still couldn’t find anything that made this forest any different from the one he’d spent his childhood in.

They hadn’t traveled far when Zhou Ji called for a stop.

He had discovered a type of edible vegetable and had people dig it up on the spot, preparing to cook it later.

This Beastman Continent did contain some new plants, but he didn’t know if they had wheat and rice.

Zhou Ji rather missed cooked rice and steamed buns.

The group walked on for two days before finding traces of beastmen activity. By this time, they had already lost much of their curiosity towards the Beastman Continent and were only curious about what the tribes on the Beastman Continent were like.

Xiong Ye sniffed the scents in the air, then led everyone in a certain direction.

The Grass Tribe was a small tribe. They had attached themselves to the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe and lived in the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe’s territory. Every year, they would pay tribute in the form of food and receive the protection of the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe.

On that day, the men of the tribe were out gathering edible vegetables when they suddenly heard a disturbance and went on alert immediately.

“I smelled beastmen strangers. It’s a very big group.” One of the men from the Grass Tribe said.

The people of the Grass Tribe were relieved when they learned that they were beastmen.

The Giant Rhinoceros Tribe had a Beast King. This allowed the small tribes that relied on the Giant Rhinoceros Tribe for protection to also live very well without having to worry about being bullied.

However, if other tribesmen came, they would have to entertain them. It was still alright if it was a small tribe whose strength was similar to theirs, but if it was people from a large tribe, then they would have to go to great lengths to entertain them.

The people of the Grass Tribe didn’t dare to act as though they weren’t aware of the newcomers and immediately walked towards the group that had entered their territory.

They soon saw the group of travelers, and they knew right away that they must have come from a large tribe.

Look, those people were so strong and sturdy! Look, they had so many goods with them! Look, that leader was wearing such good looking clothes!

These people even appeared to be very strict about their hierarchy, to the point where someone was sitting in a carriage… Generally, only large tribes would do such a thing.

The person inside the carriage was most likely the young chief of some large tribe.

The people of the Grass Tribe were secretly distressed––so many people had come their way, and they would probably have to come up with a lot of food to entertain them. As for that big master, they didn’t know what his temper would be like; would he be difficult to deal with?

When the people of the Grass Tribe noticed the people of the Big Bear Tribe, the people of the Big Bear Tribe had also noticed the Grass Tribe.

The beastmen in front of them were a little small and thin, and didn’t have much muscle on their bodies… However, they were carrying baskets and should be people from the gathering team, so it was normal if they looked a little weak.

“Hello, we’re from the Big Bear Tribe. You are?” Xiong Qi inquired.

“We are from the Grass Tribe.” The people from the Grass Tribe hurried to reply, then felt a little suspicious––what tribe was the Big Bear Tribe? They hadn’t heard of it before!

“We’ve come a long way, can we take a rest in your tribe?” Xiong Qi continued.

“Of course, of course.” The people of the Grass Tribe answered quickly. Although entertaining these people might cost them a lot of food, they didn’t dare to refuse…

However, they hadn’t heard of the name Big Bear Tribe. Did that mean that they didn’t have to bring out the best of their food for them?

For example, these people could be served coarse rice instead of delicious corn.

Juurensha: Aw Hai Feng, someone teach him some stuffxiin: so innocent… it really shows that he’d spent all his time growing up alone…
