Yu Wanwan scratched her face: "I wanted to take a look at your wound."

This little kid is quite wary! He's only just been rescued, and he's already showing her no kindness.

Chu Lin coldly replied, "No need."

The leg injury was not a serious injury to him at all; he was mainly weak from not eating or drinking.

"Alright then." Yu Wanwan sat down to one side: "Are you an orc who lives in this forest?"

Chu Lin shook her head.

"Then how did you end up here? Did you come here to hunt? Where are your parents?" Yu Wanwan felt very strange. Orcs of his age were either at home or learning to hunt with the main group. How could he be here alone?

Her intention was to find out the details, send Chu Lin back, and find a place to stay, but Chu Lin glared at her coldly and said, "Why are you asking so many questions!"

Yu Wanwan was bewildered by his glare.

This child is really unfriendly.

She stood up: "Alright then, I won't ask. I'm going to find a tribe to stay with. You stay here and wait for your tribe to come and pick you up."

Yu Wanwan didn't know the way either, and she continued walking in the direction of the main road. Chu Lin called out to her, "That direction you're going leads out of the forest. If you want to find the nearest tribe, you should go that way." He pointed in the direction Yu Wanwan had come from.

So she'd been going the wrong way all along!

"Wait a minute." Chu Lin called her again: "Why would a female like you appear alone in the forest?"

Yu Wanwan pouted: "Why are you asking so many questions!"

If he won't tell her, then she shouldn't tell him either.

Besides, even if she told him she was sent here by the Beast God, he probably wouldn't believe her.

Chu Lin wasn't angry. She stood up, leaning against the tree, and said, "I'll go with you."

"Aren't you waiting here for your tribesmen?"

“I got separated from them.” Chu Lin walked to Yu Wanwan’s side: “It’s getting dark, it’s not safe for you, a female, to be in the forest alone.”

Yu Wanwan took a step back, somewhat unsure whether she could walk with him.

Her hand touched a tree, and immediately the voice of the God of Time echoed in her mind: "He's heading in the right direction, you can follow him."

Yu Wanwan: "..."

Alright then, since the Beast Gods have said so.

Yu Wanwan nodded.

His legs were weak, and Yu Wanwan wanted to help him, but he dodged her hand and stubbornly walked forward on his own.

After an unknown amount of time, a tribe finally appeared before Yu Wanwan's eyes.

By this time, the orcs who had gone out had all returned. The two of them had just gotten a little closer when they were spotted by the orcs in the tribe.

Chu Lin whispered to Yu Wanwan, "This is the Black Chicken Tribe."

The black chicken beastmen surrounded the two men, looking them up and down. They didn't look well; their animal skins were tattered and their hair was dirty.

A well-dressed orc pushed through the crowd and stepped forward, looking at the two men: "I am the chieftain of the Black Chicken Tribe. And you are?"

Chu Lin said, "I am from the Golden Lion Clan. This is my future partner. We are passing through this forest and would like to stay for a while."

He took out a piece of silver the size of a fingernail from somewhere and handed it to the clan chief.

The clan chief's eyes lit up, and he picked up the silver ingot, admiring it with obvious delight.

After verifying its authenticity, he happily said, "Okay, but this silver ingot is too small. We can only provide you with a place to stay for ten days. During these ten days, you will have to find your own food. We will only provide a cave for you to stay in."

"Sure." Chu Lin replied without hesitation.

Chief Black Chicken found them a secluded little cave, which was dark and empty.
