Although the temporary tribe is also called a tribe, it is different from a real tribe. During the autumn hunt, he can be allocated as much food as he can put in. If he cannot catch enough prey, the food allocated to his family will be difficult for them to survive the entire winter.
Especially since his cub was only fourteen years old, at the age when it was growing and able to eat, but not strong enough to go with him on the autumn hunt.
If the cub was two years older, the situation would be much better. He could take the cub with him on the autumn hunt. Even if he had an accident, the sixteen-year-old orc could survive with a sub-beast.
If they were in a real tribe, they would not have to worry about this problem. The tribe would do its best to ensure that every member could survive the winter. Even if they occasionally went hungry, they would never let anyone starve to death.
But the prerequisite is that every orc cannot deliberately be lazy during the autumn hunt.
However, autumn hunting is the key to whether the entire tribe can survive the winter. Any orc with normal thinking would not be lazy during the autumn hunting.
If the tribe is destroyed, no one in the tribe will have an easy time.
Moreover, in a real tribe, when there is enough food and each family has been allocated enough food, orcs who are particularly outstanding during the hunting period will receive extra rewards.
When he learned that Qingshan City was willing to give them food and let them help with work, he became interested.
Although it was shameful for an orc to let underage cubs and sub-beasts work to earn food, he really had no choice now for the sake of his family's survival.
At least you have to raise the cub until it grows up. By then, it won’t matter what happens to him.
His partner and cubs also knew his difficulties, and told him on the day they learned the news that they all had to come to Qingshan City to work, and any food they could get was welcome.
It's better than staying at home and worrying.
Although the two of them were among the most active people working for Qingshan City in the temporary tribe and could also gain things, since they were recruiting people to work in the tribe, it must be a more important matter.
If they do a good job, they will definitely get more.
Maybe they could even become familiar to some people in Qingshan City, and when they expressed their desire to join, some acquaintances could speak well of them.
The tail swept across his calf, and Meng Yuqing came back to his senses. He shifted his gaze from the marten orc to look at Xuan.
"You've been staring at me for a long time." Xuan said softly.
After hearing Xuan say this, Meng Yuqing realized that it was indeed a bit rude of her to stare at the other person's defective front leg for so long.
He touched his nose awkwardly and glanced at the marten orc, wanting to see the other's reaction.
But he happened to meet the gaze of the marten orc.
He lowered his hand and smiled awkwardly.
The marten orc seemed stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled kindly.
Meng Yuqing nodded at him and stopped looking at him.
The Weasel Orc breathed a sigh of relief, then looked down at his right front paw as his mate gently stroked him on his back.
His cub, the little orc Saki, walked up to his head and gently rubbed it, saying to him, "Don't worry, the witch in Qingshan City is a very good person. The orcs in Qingshan City who have lost their claws have been well arranged and have suitable jobs. You, father, are in a much better situation."
The orcs walked much faster in their animal form than in their human form, and the gates of Qingshan City were opened early to wait for them to come.
After the giant beasts left the city gate one by one, Yang and Xuan stood at the gate and said, "You guys can go back. Once we have made arrangements, we will send someone to pick you up and let you live here."
"After the snow falls, whether it is in your place or here, unless it is an extremely urgent situation, you are not allowed to roar loudly in beast form. This is for the safety of the entire tribe." Xuan added.
Everyone in the temporary tribe nodded. Although they felt that what Xuan said was a bit confusing, they were willing to obey.
Moreover, in order to reduce consumption in winter, orcs rarely transform into beast form, let alone roar loudly, except for clearing snow, which also consumes physical energy.
Every bite of food is precious in winter.
After seeing off the people from the temporary tribe, Xuan and Meng Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief.
Next comes the days of leisure.
But God didn't seem to want to let them have an easy time. Early the next morning, two flying orcs who were sent to pay attention to the living conditions of other tribes flew towards Qingshan City.
They were flying at high speed, their expressions were serious, and if you looked closely, you could see a hint of anxiety in their eyes.
It seemed like there was something extremely urgent going on.
They split up and acted separately, one flew towards Xia and Qiu Ye's home, and the other flew towards Xuan and Meng Yuqing's home.
Xuan woke up when the flying orcs left the yard. He originally thought they were just passing by his house and didn't intend to pay any attention to them.
But they soon discovered something was wrong. The flying orcs slowed down and descended as they approached the yard. It was obvious that they were coming to their house.
Looking at Meng Yuqing who was still sleeping, Xuan pulled the quilt for him and got out of bed.
The other party seemed to know that it was still early and the people in the house were probably still sleeping, so he just stayed quietly in the yard and waited. He knew that Xuan would definitely notice his presence.
After leaving the house and closing the door behind him, Xuan asked the flying orc, "What's wrong? Is there something urgent?"
The flying orc nodded and said, "The three major tribes have split."
"At this time?" Xuan was surprised. "It will snow soon. If they split up now, many people will die. Who took the initiative? The Black Tree Tribe or the people over there?"
"The Black Tree Tribe initiated it. They split around the beginning of autumn." The flying orc replied.
Xuan nodded and said, "Let's go to the conference room first. You go and notify the others."
"Okay." The flying orc responded and soared into the sky.
Xuan walked back to the room and left a note on the table.
It said: I'm going to the conference hall for a meeting. When you wake up, find something to eat. Don't wander around. Wait for me to come back.
After finishing writing, he walked into the yard, transformed into a beast, and ran wildly towards the conference hall.
At the same time, orcs from every corner of the tribe transformed into beast forms and ran towards the conference hall.
Xuan and Xia arrived at the conference hall one after the other. Not long after they sat in their seats, the leaders of the tribe also arrived one after another.
Their long hair was blown into a mess, and it was obvious that they had come here at the fastest speed.
They all had serious expressions on their faces. After coming in, they found a seat and sat down without saying a word. They just waited quietly for other people to come.
About twenty minutes later, everyone arrived, and the last person who came in closed the door of the conference room.
