Chapter 284 Orc Tribe (3)

After everyone was seated, Xia Tian realized that there were more people in the tribe than she had imagined.

Moreover, there are people of all ages, not just the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled. Young men and women also account for a considerable number, and some of them have obviously formed couples.

If we ignore their various incompatible fortunate conditions, there is actually not much difference between this place and other tribes with poorer material conditions.

It was obvious that a lot of effort had gone into preparing the food they were served. It was a combination of meat and vegetables, including grilled meat and vegetables. Although the cooking level was average, under such circumstances, this should be their greatest sincerity.

"What are you looking at?" Si Ye noticed that the girl's eyes were fixed on everyone. Thinking that she was frightened by their appearance, he handed her a bowl of water to calm her down. "Drink some water first. This is the bloodline of half-orcs. Are you scared?"

"No." Xia Tian took a sip of water and shook her head. "Although I have never seen such a shape before, it is not scary. On the contrary... there is a special kind of beauty. I was thinking, there are so many orcs in this world."

"You find it incredible too, don't you?" Si Ye smiled helplessly. "Actually, I initially thought the same as you. I also thought I wouldn't encounter orcs from this world, but I didn't expect that a complete tribe had already formed in a place unknown to us."

Xia Tian continued, "Actually, I think they're lucky to have a tribe. There must be many people wandering around outside, right?"

"Yeah." Si Ye lowered his eyes. "You're right. They were able to form a tribe and live on their own, which means they can rely on each other. There are many more orcs who will never find their own kind in their entire lives, and can only end their short lives in loneliness and helplessness."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Just take me to meet some people. It's time for me to get to know everyone." Xia Tian noticed that everyone was still a little reserved towards her, so she took the initiative to stand up and greet them.

Si Ye took her to identify them one by one. "This is Uncle Tao, the tribe leader who adopted me when I was little. This is Bing, the one I told you about, the one who greeted us at the door. This is her grandmother, the oldest orc among us..."

As they got to know each other one by one, the atmosphere between them gradually became relaxed from the initial stiffness, and they began to talk and laugh with each other.

"Where is Lan? Why can't I see him?" During the meal, Xia Tian keenly noticed that the little boy who gave her pearls last time did not show up this time.

Didn’t Si Ye say that he was also a member of the tribe? Why didn’t I see him today?

"Are you asking about Lan?" Old Uncle Tao came over and explained, "It's too hot right now. That kid is half mermaid, so he can't stay on land. He's staying in the stream over there to escape the heat. If you want to see him, you can wait until the evening when it's cooler."

The hot season in the Beast World is a period of endless scorching heat that lasts for half a year.

This kind of hot and irritating weather happens almost every day. Does Lan have to stay in the stream every day?

"Yes." Old Uncle Tao nodded. "It's a good thing he's only half mermaid. Otherwise, if he were truly a mermaid, he would absolutely not be able to leave the waters where he lives."
