Chapter 368 Settling the Beaver Clan
Before long, ripples suddenly appeared on the calm water in the valley, and then heads of different sizes popped out.
These heads looked around curiously, their gazes eventually settling on the eastern tribe not far away and their huge, magnificent cave.
However, faced with the unfamiliar and powerful presence before them, they seemed hesitant and indecisive.
Just then, a figure slowly swam from the water toward the entrance of the cave.
It turned out to be Jiang. As he approached the shore, he suddenly turned around and instantly transformed into human form, standing steadily on the ground.
Jiang took a deep breath, composed himself, and then looked up at Sen, who was standing at the cave entrance, and said, "Hello, Sen! Do you still remember me? I am Jiang, the leader of the Beaver Tribe."
At this moment, Sen exuded an indescribable aura of power, a presence completely different from any beastman Jiang had ever seen before.
Sensing this powerful aura, Jiang felt a sense of unease, but he still forced himself to continue speaking.
Upon hearing Jiang's voice, Sen nodded slightly, indicating that he remembered him, and then said slowly, "Yes, I remember you. Ruan Ruan once taught you how to store food. However, I'm quite curious, what brings you here this time?"
Upon hearing that Sen still remembered their tribe, Jiang Yi felt a surge of excitement and quickly replied, "Yes, our tribe has always remembered the kindness bestowed upon us by the Eastern Chief. But who could have imagined that this year's rainy season would bring such heavy rainfall? Our tribe is located in a low-lying area, and now it has become a vast expanse of water. We have no other choice but to come and seek refuge with your tribe, hoping to find a place to stay."
After speaking, Jiang looked at Sen expectantly, hoping to get a positive answer.
Sen remained silent after hearing this. Whether or not to take her in was not up to him; it all depended on Ruan Mianmian's decision.
However, Sen looked at the orcs floating in the water and asked Jiang to lead them into the cave, since they were still just little kids.
Upon hearing this, Jiang immediately became happy and shouted outside. Instantly, a group of beaver beastmen swam towards the cave.
At this moment, the beastmen in the cave also gathered around. They had all heard of this beaver tribe, and they were quite surprised to see such a large group of beastmen.
After all, it's not an ordinary person who dares to move their entire clan during the rainy season!
Just as the beaver tribe entered the cave, Ruan Mianmian rushed over.
As soon as she appeared, the beastmen of her tribe made way for her.
When the beaver tribe beastmen saw Ruan Mianmian coming, they were all happy and wanted to surround her.
It wasn't that they were cowardly; it was just that they were surrounded by this group of high-ranking orcs, and their race was relatively weak. Needless to say, the pressure they were under was immense, and they were terrified!
Upon seeing Ruan Mianmian, they all looked at her as if she were a savior and naturally wanted to surround her.
But as soon as the beaver orcs moved, the orcs in the cave immediately sprang into action. It wasn't uncommon for turbulent tribes to try and defect, only to harm the weaker members of their own tribe. So when they saw a large group of beaver orcs running towards their leader, they feared for his safety.
Ruan Mianmian raised her hand to signal everyone to quiet down. She looked at Jiang and smiled, "Chief Jiang, it's been a long time."
Jiang replied respectfully, "Eastern Leader, this time we really have no choice but to come and seek refuge with you."
Ruan Mianmian looked around at the Beaver Clan members, most of whom looked disheveled, their eyes filled with exhaustion and fear.
She turned to her tribesmen and said gently, "Don't be nervous, everyone. Our beaver friends are just here to take refuge from the disaster; they mean no harm." Sen nodded in agreement.
The tribespeople in the cave were initially on edge, maintaining a high level of vigilance at all times. However, after listening to their leader Ruan Mianmian's words, the tension in their hearts finally began to ease.
The tense expressions on everyone's faces gradually eased, and the atmosphere became more relaxed.
Immediately afterwards, Ruan Mianmian turned her gaze to Daman, who was not far away, and waved to her, signaling her to come over.
As Daman strode closer, Ruan Mianmian said softly, "Daman, could you please find a suitable place for these beastmen from the Beaver Clan to settle down temporarily? Also, could you arrange for Yu to find some food to distribute to everyone?"
There are two reasons why Daman was chosen to handle this matter. First, as a female beastman, Daman is more approachable than males; second, Daman is a vegetarian beastman, meaning she does not eat meat.
In this way, the beaver tribe beastmen would naturally feel more at ease and secure.
Just as Ruan Mianmian had predicted, when the beaver tribe beastmen saw that the one who came to lead them away from this place was a gentle and kind female elephant beastman, their originally uneasy hearts immediately calmed down, and their fear receded as quickly as the tide.
After receiving the leader's instructions, Daman nodded in agreement without hesitation.
She turned around nimbly and led the group of beaver orcs slowly toward the campfire.
After all, they had been wading through water the whole way, and even those orcs who were excellent swimmers must be feeling the chill and exhausted by now.
Ruan Mianmian then walked towards Jiang and said softly, "Chief Jiang, I have settled your people first. I think we need to have a proper talk."
Jiang hurriedly nodded in agreement: "We are deeply grateful for the arrangements made by the Eastern Chief."
Because the cave was also filled with water, everything was damp. Ruan Mianmian led Jiang to the earthen bed where Zhi was, intending to discuss what to do next.
