Chapter 248 The Deer Tribe Settles

Luo Cihe was holding a long wooden stick with several fat hares firmly skewered on it. He was bending over, preparing to put it on the blazing bonfire.

At this moment, he looked up and saw Xia Yueke walking out of the tent. He immediately stood up, a smile on his face, and asked:

"Coco, did you sleep well last night? I'm going to give you a different meal today. Try my roasted rabbit."

Xia Yueke raised the corners of her lips and nodded slightly. She took the roasted rabbit meat handed to her by Luo Cihe, took a light bite, and the aroma of the tender meat spread on her tongue. She did not feel nauseous like when she ate fish yesterday.

Luo Cihe had been paying attention to her reaction. Seeing that she was eating with relish, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and his heart finally settled down.

Soon, Juanjuan came in front of everyone holding Liuli's hand.

When Liuli saw Xia Yueke, her eyes lit up instantly, and she jumped forward, her tone full of concern:

"Sister Yue Ke, how are you feeling today? Are you feeling any discomfort?"

Xia Yueke's eyebrows curved, she stretched out her hand and dotingly pinched Liuli's pink cheeks, and said with a smile:

"Haha, I'm fine now, thanks to our thoughtful Liuli who always thinks of me."

After breakfast, everyone packed their bags quickly and in unison, ready to embark on their journey to the Deer Tribe.

Along the way, Xia Yueke was tightly surrounded by a crowd. Their eyes followed her all the time, and they took every step with extreme caution, fearing that she would be disturbed in the slightest.

Every stone and every pothole under your feet has someone paying attention and reminding you in advance; every bush and every forest you pass by has someone scanning vigilantly to ensure there are no potential dangers.

Xia Yueke was a little uncomfortable with such meticulous protection, and said helplessly:

"Oh, you guys are too cautious. My stomach is still flat. It's not that dangerous."

Qian Jingyao immediately shook his head, his eyes filled with unquestionable determination:

"No, Coco. Pregnant females are already weak, and you were out playing and frolicking every day before. If I hadn't seen that you weren't feeling unwell now, I would have been terribly worried. Any potential danger along the way could affect you and the little life in your belly, so we must be extremely careful."

Qi An protected Xia Yueke tightly from behind and said solemnly:

"Keke, pregnant females are most susceptible to external influences. Even a small bump or a slight fright can lead to unexpected consequences. We must not be negligent in the slightest."

Long Xiaoyu also echoed:

"Female, just follow me for the rest of the journey. I will definitely protect you."

Liuli held Xia Yueke's hand, her eyes full of worry:

"Sister Yue Ke, just listen to what everyone says. Only when you are safe and sound can we feel at ease."

After everyone's persuasion, although Xia Yueke felt that everyone was a little too nervous, she was also deeply moved by this deep concern.

She nodded gently, a gentle smile on her face, "Okay, I know everyone is doing this for my own good, I will be careful."

Everyone then felt relieved and continued to move cautiously towards the Deer Tribe.

Everyone walked along the path by the river towards the Deer Tribe.

Along the way, everyone was very careful and alert to the dangers around them. Xia Yueke did not feel too tired under everyone's care.

After several hours of trekking, they finally arrived at the Deer Tribe. When the Deer Tribe guards saw them, they immediately became alert.

Qian Jingyao stepped forward and explained his purpose to the guard, who then went in to report.

After a while, a tall deer orc came out.

He was wearing a robe made of deerskin and a black belt around his waist, looking very majestic.

"I am the chief of the Deer Tribe. What do you want?"

The Deer Clan leader asked.

Qian Jingyao saluted the Deer Tribe leader and said:

"Chief, we are travelers from afar. Our partner is pregnant and needs a safe place to rest. Could we stay with your tribe for a while?"

The Deer Tribe leader looked at Xia Yueke, then looked at everyone else, and after a moment of contemplation, he said:

"this……"

Seeing that the Deer Clan leader was hesitant and even refused to stay, Long Xiaoyu frowned and said in a deep voice:

"Hmm? How come your little deer tribe can't even let a pregnant female stay here? Don't you know that the rules of the animal kingdom prioritize the safety of females?"

"If you disagree, don't blame me for using force to suppress it."

The deer chief was stunned when he heard this, but before he could say anything, an orc from their deer tribe couldn't hold back any longer.

He sneered at Long Xiaoyu, "You are just foreign orcs. You are so arrogant when you want to stay here. She is not a female from our Deer Clan. Why should we help her?"

As soon as the orc from the Deer Tribe finished speaking, the aura around Long Xiaoyu suddenly turned cold, and a powerful pressure pressed towards the orc like a tidal wave.

The orc's face turned pale in an instant, his legs trembled slightly uncontrollably, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Seeing this, the Deer Tribe leader's expression changed slightly. He then slowly glanced at everyone, his attitude softened a bit, and his tone became a little gentler:

"Everyone, please be patient. To be honest, there have been many unusual incidents around the tribe recently, and we have to be cautious. Since you are indeed in trouble, please come in first."

Everyone followed the deer tribe leader into the tribe and came to a spacious residence.

The Deer Tribe leader raised his hand and said:

"Just rest here and take care of the rest."

Upon hearing this, Qi An nodded immediately, then took out a few beast cores emitting a strange luster from his arms, handed them to the Deer Tribe leader, and said sincerely:

"Head of the Deer Clan, we didn't bring any extra food with us this time. These beast cores are our payment for staying with us for these few days. I hope you will accept them."

The moment the deer tribe leader saw the beast core, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his originally slightly indifferent attitude instantly took a 180-degree turn. A smile blossomed on his face, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

He quickly took the beast core with both hands, rubbing it repeatedly in his hands, saying:

"Very well, very well! If you have any food needs, our tribe will certainly provide you with the surplus. Besides, your female is pregnant, and our tribe's witch doctor is quite experienced in this area, so you can have him take a look."

When Luo Cihe heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sly smile, and he politely declined:

"Thank you for your kindness, Chief. We have our own witch doctor with us, so we don't need to bother you much on a daily basis. However, when my partner gives birth, it would be great if you could ask your tribe's witch doctor to come and help. When the time comes, I will definitely not disappoint you and the witch doctor, and I will definitely provide you with the corresponding beast core."

After hearing this, the Deer Tribe leader nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Okay, it's settled then. Have a good rest, I won't disturb you."
