Chapter 42: Somewhat Fate

The surrendered cave monsters live in the cave at the foot of the mountain in the west. The leader is a LV13 [Cave Wizard] named Morimi. Morimi holds a bone staff and has a certain amount of wisdom.

Apart from him, other cave monsters are almost all at LV1 and LV2. Some of them are stronger than the tribal villains, but not much.

The caveman wizard was very humble in front of Isabel. He briefly and concisely recounted the origin of the caveman.

"Master Apostle, in fact, cave monsters are another branch of humans."

"Due to living underground for a long time, their bodies have slowly changed, generation after generation, and they have become what they are now. They are not as smart as humans on the surface."

The whole story starts from the last era.

That was the time when the forest god still controlled this land.

The troglodytes were not troglodytes at that time, but a group of believers of the forest god. They believed in the forest god, lived in the forest, and lived with birds and beasts.

On weekdays, they planted various kinds of mushrooms and relied on mushrooms and berries in the forest for food. Thanks to the blessing of the forest god, the vast forests were always full of food, and they lived a stable and natural life.

Huge changes are coming quietly.

With the fall of the forest god, large tracts of forests withered and shrank, some places turned into deserts, and some turned into bare mountains.

Corruptors and molted monsters are everywhere. They are fanatics and soldiers of the two heretical gods, the Whistler and the Flayer.

The Corruptors captured the followers of the Forest God and hanged them to create new Corruptors. The Shedding Monsters even peeled off people's skin while they were still alive, causing them to die in extreme pain.

To avoid the massacre, the people in the forest hid in caves and fled underground. In order to avoid the pursuit of those terrifying killers, they kept moving deeper and deeper into the dark and cold underground caves.

In the dark caves, they rely on growing mushrooms and catching insects underground for food.

It was too cold underground, with zero visibility. Many people could not adapt to such a life and died of hunger, cold and disease.

But a small number of people survived tenaciously.

They survived the most difficult days and gradually found a way to survive.

As time went by, their bodies changed: thick body hair grew on their bodies, their hair grew longer, and their limbs became strong and wide. They moved quickly underground using all four limbs like lizards.

They transformed from humans into cave dwellers, using stone-polished masks to protect their facial features and intimidate their enemies. They used stones to make spears and axes, and they would make strange noises and perform strange movements to boost their courage and scare their prey.

Among the cave dwellers, some still haven't forgotten where they came from. They pass on the story from mouth to mouth, telling their descendants not to forget that they came from the surface.

As long as they wait patiently for the gods to calm down, they will be able to return to the ground, stand in the sun again, no longer have to eat insects, and walk upright.

The cave monster family led by Mori has never forgotten the past. The family name Mori is also used to warn future generations to remember that they come from the forest.

They wait silently.

Not long ago, a large-scale mountain collapse suddenly occurred.

Morijian was keenly aware that this might be a revelation from the gods. So he began to walk out of the cave carefully and found that the outside had indeed changed, and there were no longer any pursuers everywhere.

However, at this juncture, another family of cave monsters was exterminated.

Morimi's ability is called "Wind Listener", which allows him to hear sounds dissipating in the air through the wind. This is extremely useful underground, helping the family avoid many dangers and conflicts.

He heard about the God Yao, the apostles and the garlic tribe in the wind.

The killing of the Whistler and the Flayer has ended.

The deity here now is the benevolent and majestic God Yao.

Morimi led his family members down the mountain, hoping to join the Garlic Tribe. So when he met the forest wolves, he surrendered to the wolf pack and expressed his attitude of becoming a vassal.

…

Lu Yao was in a strange mood.

The landslide was caused by the earthquake that I had created. So, I had some connection with this family of cave dwellers.

Since he already had a ghost city, it wouldn't be a big deal to take in a group of cave dwellers.

Before that, Lu Yao had to make sure whether the caveman was lying.

Isabel said, "Sir, I have used the last prayer to ask the nearby dead souls, and what they said is basically the same as what Morimi said."

That's okay.

Led by their leader Mori Jian, 40 cave dwellers left the mountains and came to the Garlic Tribe.

There was some disagreement within the Garlic Tribe on the acceptance of cave monsters.

Initially, most tribal residents were opposed.

"The troggs are enemies, they are enemies!"

"They are underground monsters that can kill people at any time!"

"They killed the Hero Headhunter!"

"Leader Yuzou, have you forgotten the blood feud of the past?"

Yuzou faced these criticisms and doubts calmly.

The white-haired leader said, "Everyone, listen to me. The death of the headhunter shows us that the tribe must never stand still."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"If we were as powerful as the Salt Pond Tribe, would the cave monsters dare to attack us? They wouldn't."

"Even if we attack them, they dare not resist."

"Now, the cave monsters that once attacked us are willing to join the Garlic Tribe. Why is that?"

He concluded: "It's not because they have become timid, but because we have become stronger."

"God Yao sent out the Apostle, who showed everyone how powerful God is. The Yanchi tribe is being punished by God. This is the power of God!"

Yuzou continued, "At first, the Forest Tribe was our enemy, then the Barbarian Tribe was our enemy, and then the East River Tribe was also our enemy, but now, we work and live together."

"Why not Troggs?"

Yuzou made his final judgment: "This is also the will of God Yao! Who among you wants to object?"

After citing the majesty of God, there were finally no other voices.

Lu Yao was very satisfied with his courage. This was the right thing to do. He looked like a leader now.

He watched Yuzou grow up.

Once upon a time, he was the unreliable member of the Pig and Fish brothers.

Later, he became one of the earliest heroes of the tribe. He experienced the death of the headhunter in battle, various changes in the tribe, and the deaths of the first generation of tribal leaders Nong Lai and Liecang... before he became the calm and mature leader he is today.

After joining the Garlic Tribe, the Troggs acquired several houses.

They lived in the direction closest to the mountains to the west.

Mori Jian took the cave monsters to the mountains to mine with camels and copper hammers every day. The cave monsters also became professional miners and stonemasons in the tribe.

Labor allowed them to integrate into the garlic tribe.

Although the cave monster still wears a stone mask, has a strange appearance, and sometimes crawls on all fours, the other people in the tribe are no longer surprised.

[Caveman Wizard] Morimi quickly became the leader of the Garlic Tribe because of his wisdom and experience, and together with Yuzou and Shahan, he decided the direction of the tribe.

At this time, a prompt appeared on the screen.

【Mori-mi offers you a sacrifice.】

Lu Yao moved his wrist.

The long-awaited sacrifice has finally arrived.

Let me see what props I can draw this time.

Thanks to Xingyue Canhe for supporting 100 Qidian coins.
