As the orcs went deeper, the surrounding trees became more lush and dense, and the environment became more humid.
In some places it's not just mud but muddy water, and you can even see streams and puddles not far away.
Xuan frowned. He didn't like this kind of environment very much. It made him feel stuffy and suffocated.
The group of little beastmen had gathered around him again at some point, and they were all silent, having lost their previous energy.
The environment here makes them uncomfortable.
The adult orcs were fine and quite accustomed to this. Xia keenly noticed the condition of the little orcs and stopped.
"Life in the Shuilin Tribe may seem similar to ours, but the environment is actually quite different. It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable the first time you come here. You'll get used to it after a few days."
Li Ye nodded in agreement. "We were also very uncomfortable when we first came to their tribe. You must adjust to your current state as soon as possible. Orcs cannot be afraid of any environment."
Fei Ye landed and turned back into human form. He sat on Li's back and said, "Yes, if your strength is affected by the environment, it will be fatal. You must learn to adapt and make use of the environment."
Hearing the words of their elders, the little beastmen shook their hair and forced themselves to cheer up.
They are the most outstanding orcs in the tribe and cannot be defeated by the environment.
Seeing that they had regained their spirits, Xia nodded slightly, turned around and walked to the front to continue moving forward.
Suddenly he raised his head and twitched his nose a few times in the air. "We have entered the patrol area of the Shuilin Tribe."
Hearing this, Li Ye raised his head and sniffed the air. "Their smell is still fresh. They must have just left not long ago."
"It must be their patrol team." Fei jumped up from Li's back and transformed back into an eagle in the air. "I'll go look for them."
"Okay, go quickly and come back soon." Xia nodded in agreement.
Xi walked forward and stood beside Xia, "I remember your people are the ones who least like to come here."
Xia twitched his ears and looked behind him at the people from the Stonehorn tribe. "Not to mention us, even the hairy people in your tribe don't like this place very much."
The little orcs who secretly heard the conversation between the two chiefs immediately turned to look at the people of the Stonehorn Tribe.
There were many long-haired deer orcs and cow orcs among them, all of whom looked impatient.
He flew back quickly, "I've found them, they'll be here soon."
After saying that, he turned back into human form and fell on Deli's back again. He also didn't like the environment here.
Everyone who got the news stopped and the little beastmen pricked up their ears curiously to listen to the movements around them.
"Didn't they say they would be here soon? Why can't I hear any sound from them?" Dong said somewhat puzzled. Dan gave him a listless look and said nothing.
The thick hair on his neck made it really uncomfortable for him to be here.
Xuan also pricked up his ears to listen to the sound, "They should be coming, their voices are different from ours."
As soon as he finished speaking, a rustling sound was heard, and the sound of leaves rubbing against each other on the ground came from them. They looked in the direction of the sound.
A dark green reticulated python appeared not far from them.
The little orc closest to the giant python was so frightened that he jumped up, bared his fangs and popped out his claws, and almost attacked with a claw.
The python was one meter thick, with strong muscles and a head bigger than a bucket. He raised his body so that he and Xia could look at each other at eye level. "You guys are here? I'll take you to the tribe."
After saying this, he turned around and glanced at the little orc who had jumped up in fright, and said in a cold voice, "The little guy reacted well."
This sight made the little beastmen's hair stand on end.
"You just love to scare these little guys. Look at this little brat in the tribe, who is willing to avoid you?" Another cold voice came.
When the little beastmen looked again, they saw a giant python with a dark red body without a trace of other colors coiled on the tree, with the front half of its body leaning down, staring straight at Xuan.
This scene made some little beastmen who had never seen such a scene stand up nervously.
Xuan looked up calmly at the giant python that was only one meter away from him. His body was tense, indicating that he was ready to fight at any time.
He noticed the other person the moment he appeared on the tree.
He watched the dark red python slowly lower its body after seeing that he had discovered him, while speaking casually.
When Lie Heya saw the actions of the dark red python, he instantly stood behind Xuan with the hair on the back of his neck standing up and his fangs bared.
This silent appearance is so disturbing.
Mu leaned back. He had never seen this kind of beast-like orc, but his intuition told him that his beast-like form had no advantage against this kind of beast-like orc, especially now that the situation was favorable to the opponent.
"You're still blaming me, but aren't you also bullying the little orcs?" The dark green reticulated python spoke up, interrupting their confrontation.
The dark red python glanced at the other party, slowly retracted its body, and slid down from the tree.
Xia watched all this quietly, gently shaking the tip of his tail. He was obviously in a good mood. The performance of the little orcs in the tribe did not disappoint him.
They may have been startled by the sudden appearance of the orcs from the Water Forest Tribe, but they were not afraid.
"Let's go, take us to see your clan leader." Xia said lightly when the confrontation between them ended.
With orcs who were familiar with the environment leading the way, their progress was much faster.
The Shuilin Tribe is built in a jungle where water and land intersect. The houses are built on the land and are surrounded by puddles and puddles. Some places are even dug out by them.
They used felled trees to build a single-log bridge between the two areas that were completely separated by water for the sub-beasts to pass through.
The tribe is surrounded by a muddy ditch a hundred meters wide, and there are only a few roads leading to the interior of the tribe, which were also specially dug by them.
Everyone looked at the Shuilin tribe's residence silently. Given the environment, they had no idea why the roaming orcs would target their tribe and rob it.
The roads are difficult to travel, so if we want to rob them, shouldn't we prioritize the Shijiao tribe? They have a better environment, but their strength is not as strong as the Qingshan tribe.
Many people who came to the Shuilin tribe for the first time couldn't help but wonder in their hearts. Even some people from the Shijiao tribe didn't quite understand. Isn't their tribe the best target?
The two python beastmen brought everyone to a relatively dry and spacious land three hundred meters away from the tribe.
"You guys rest here for a while, we'll go inform the tribe leader. Our tribe has been prepared for a long time, and it will be quick."
After seeing Xia and Xi nod and lie down, the two python beastmen crawled towards the tribe. They did not need to walk on land, but went directly into the muddy ditch and swam towards the tribe.
This scene made the little beastmen's scalps tingle again.
Dan licked his lips and said, "I finally understand why Xuan hates mud so much. I feel sick all over just thinking about falling into this water."
The other little beasts around nodded in agreement. They would never again secretly say behind Xuan's back that he loved cleanliness as much as a sub-beast. He was right, and they also decided not to like mud.
