Meng Yuqing had just finished eating what he was holding when he saw Xuan walking towards him.
Thinking about what they still had to do today, he said directly to Mu and the others, "Xuan and I have something to do, so I'll come back later."
After saying that, he ran to Xuan's side.
"Let's go outside the tribe and get the stone slab, then bring it in and say we found it outside." Xuan pulled Meng Yuqing to a place with few people and then turned into a beast.
After Meng Yuqing climbed onto his back, he ran straight out of the tribe.
Xuan ran with Meng Yuqing for about twenty minutes before stopping. "Take out the slate."
Meng Yuqing placed the slate on Xuan's back. "It's done. Shall we go back now?"
When he returned to the tribe, Yang Heli and several other orcs from the tribe's leadership were waiting at the tribe's gate.
Seeing people coming back, they immediately transformed into beasts and surrounded Xuan and Meng Yuqing.
The others who didn't know the reason looked at this side with confusion.
It is really difficult for the orcs in the tribal leadership to gather together in public, especially to transform into beast form collectively in non-combat situations.
But no matter how confused they are, they won't be so stupid as to come up and ask.
It must be no small matter for these orcs to take it so seriously. They are just waiting for Xia’s announcement.
All the tribesmen had already arrived in the square, and a rack had been set up on the central platform, with all kinds of beautiful animal skins hung on it.
The basketball-sized pearl was placed in the middle, with two shimmering beast beads next to it.
Xia was already standing on the stage looking at the people returning from outside the tribe.
Seeing this scene, everyone subconsciously made way for them to walk to the front of the stage.
Meng Yuqing held the stone slab and was a little confused about how to get off Xuan's back.
This stone slab was really big and heavier than ordinary stones. He could barely hold it, but it was definitely impossible for him to walk briskly while holding the stone slab.
Xia saw his embarrassment and jumped onto Xuan's back, carrying the slab on his shoulders, and then jumped back onto the platform.
Meng Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, patted Xuan, and signaled him to put him down.
Xuan just shook his head and said, "Just stay on my back and wait until the father beast finishes introducing the stone tablet before getting off."
"Okay." Meng Yuqing nodded. He didn't know what process Xuan and the others had discussed, but now he would just do whatever they said.
The appearance of the stone slabs was beyond the understanding of the orcs in the southern tribes.
It is best to let them handle this matter themselves.
Xia stood on the platform and estimated that all the tribesmen had arrived, so he didn't waste any more time.
He clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
"Before the celebration begins, I want to say three things. The first is that this year's autumn hunt has concluded. We've gotten a lot of prey. The witch has given us a new method of preserving animal meat. This winter, we'll all have enough to eat!"
Hearing that everyone could eat their fill, the tribesmen in the audience cheered.
Xia waited for them to finish cheering before continuing to talk about what happened next.
"The second thing is that this year, many new brothers have joined our tribe. Although we didn't grow up together, from now on, we are members of the same tribe!"
Everyone in the audience looked at Ke, Bo, Ma and the others.
Many enthusiastic orcs walked over to them, linked their arms around their shoulders, and told them how great the Qingshan tribe was.
Seeing that they had almost connected, Xia continued to speak.
"The last thing is something that concerns everyone. I hope everyone will listen carefully."
He held the slab of stone before him for all to see.
"This stone tablet was found by Wu, Xuan, and Yang some time ago. Everyone, look at this stone tablet carefully!"
Xia's words made everyone focus their attention on the stone slab.
Even the orcs who entered the tribe with Meng Yuqing were no exception.
Meng Yuqing looked at everyone nervously. Only Xuan and Yang felt the power of the stone slab last night. He was a little worried that others would not be able to discover the effect of the stone slab.
Fortunately, what he was worried about did not happen. The first ones to have different reactions were Xia and Lan. Xia stood by the stone slab with his eyes closed, looking a little confused.
He did not have the kind of feeling towards the stone slab that Xuan Heyang described, but he could feel that his own strength was growing stronger.
Li followed closely behind, and then the orcs in the tribal leadership began to react one after another.
They were the strongest orcs in the tribe, and naturally more sensitive to their own strength than other tribesmen. Even though they could not sense the stone slab directly, they realized that they were getting stronger after close contact with the stone slab.
The other orcs were a little confused when they saw their actions, but no one said anything. Instead, they continued to look at the patterns on the stone slab. Gradually, they also developed a strange feeling.
They only thought that the picture on the stone slab looked so simple, but after looking at it for a long time, they found it extremely complicated.
Before they knew it, they were fascinated by it, and without their knowledge, their strength was slowly growing.
Meng Yuqing discovered that not only the orcs, but several sub-beasts also looked at the stone slab with confused expressions. Qiu Ye was among them, but he seemed to be more sober than the others.
He secretly took note of these sub-beasts, as they might be the ones who would unleash their talents, and would tell Xuan about them later.
The entire square fell into complete silence for a moment.
It was a long time before Xia got up.
As he moved, the others gradually came back to their senses.
"This is the purpose of this stone slab. Everyone should have realized it." He looked around the stage with a serious look. "This will be our tribe's most precious treasure. We must protect this stone slab!"
In the audience, many orcs looked at their hands in surprise. They clearly felt that their strength was greater than before. Although the increase was very slight, it was still surprising compared to the strength that almost stopped increasing after adulthood.
They were just fascinated by the picture on the stone slab.
But unlike Xia and the others, he did not feel the process of becoming stronger. He discovered that he had become stronger after waking up.
"Protect the stone slab! Protect the Qingshan tribe! Protect the witch!" An orc suddenly shouted in the crowd.
His words immediately resonated with everyone.
